The Psychological Moment.
The fact that Priam was closeted
with the adjuster did uot prevent Cas
sandra from dropping in to say that
she had told him just how it would be.
“She was all I saved,” murmured
the burnt-out monarch, jerking his
thumb at the retiring prophetess.
"Say no more,” rejoined the other.
‘‘We'll call the loss total, and if I could
make h any more than that, old man,
I’d do it, under the circumstances.”
This incident shows the value of a
word spoken at the right time.—Puck.

A FOETO GENESIS
Investigation Mada On Municipal
Ownership and Interecting report
Made.
Nc’.v York, July.—-After an investi
gation extending over nearly two
years and embracing many of the
principal cities, both of the United
•States and Great Britain, the Nation
al Civic Federation Commission on
Public Ownership and Operation has
completed its duties. The important
and interesting reports on labor con
ditions arc the first to be made public.
There are two reports on this subject,
one by Professor John R. Commons of
Wisconsin University, and the other
by J. W. Sullivan, editor of the Cloth
ing Trade Bulletin of New York. The
report of Phofessor Commons, under
the title of “Labor and Politics,” is
more favorable to municipal owner
ship of public utilities than is that of
Mr. Sullivan, made under the general
heading, “The Labor Report.” Mr.
Sullivan makes caustic reference to
political rottenness, evidence as to
which he declares was conclusive in
Syracuse, Allegheny, and Wheeling.
Professor Commons, on the other
hand, holds that corruption under
municipal control was no greater than
under private ownership.
The commission has made a most
exhaustive investigation of public and
private operation of the four leading
public utilities, gas, water, electric
lighting and power, and street rail
ways, in all the cities visited, both
in America and Great Britain. Fif
teen members of the Investigating
Committee sailed for Europe on May
22 last year and returned to the Unit
ed States in August. Among the ci
ties visited abroad were Glasgow,
Newcastle-on-Tyne, London, Liver
pool, Norwich, Manchester, Birming
ham, Dublin, Leicester and Sheffield.
Investigations in the United States
were made in Cleveland, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Wheeling, Detroit. In
dianapolis, Richmond, Atlanta, South
Norwalk, Syracuse, Allegeheny, New
Haven, and Hartford. A staff of engi
neers, accountants and statisticians,
numbering over 20, of national repu
tation, were employed to examine
thoroughly every undertaking visited
by the committee.
These experts were so chosen that
in each examination mad/ both sides
of the municipal ownership question
were represented. Thus, one engineer,
accountant or statistician approached
the subject under consideration fa
vorably disposed toward municipali
zation. while his colleague began his
task holding views in opposition to
that principle.
The views expressed by Professor
Cornons are in many respects favora
ble to municipal ownership. He finds,
however, that the proper method of
dealing with employes is the most dif
ficult and critical problem of munici
pal ownership, and he favors recogni
tion of organized labor as a safeguard
against the pressure of outside (po
litical- recommendations.
On examining municipalization as
exhibited in the labor reports, Mr.
Sullivan declares, it is seen to be a
project to restrict men in their activ
ities by methods foreign to the Ameri
can genius, while in practice it has
failed to make out the case of its ad
vocates as in the least measure a
step forward in promoting the best
interests of the employes of the en
terprises investigated, or of the oc
cupations most closely interwoven
with them, or of the nation’s broaden
ing masses.
Labor Agent Shoots.
Chattanooga, July.—In a riot at
Mont Lake, a mining town. 18 miles
from this city T. F. Reynolds, presi
dent of the miners’ union, was fatally
shot by W. H. Bellows, a labor agent,
who had taken three nonunion men
to Mont Lake to work for the Mont
Lake Mining Company. Bellows sur
rendered and when the officer reach
ed the railroad station with his pris
oner, about- 100 union miners were
waiting for the labor agent, with the
intention of doing violence to him.
After a rough and tumble fight the
officer escaped with his prisoner and
succeeded in landing him safely in
jail in this city.
Building Falls.
Indianapolis, lnd., July.—Two brick
buildings, three stories high, located
near the northwest corner of Meri
dian and Maryland streets, in the cen
ter of the wholesale district, collapsed
from some unknown cause, resulting
in a loos of $220,000. A subsequent
fire in the debris entailed a considera
ble portion of the loss. Had the
collapse occurred during business
hours a large loss of life would cer
tainly have occurred. As the build
ings were among the oldest in the city,
it is thought this was the main rea
son for the collapse.

WHERE DOCTORS FAILED.
An Interesting Case from Salem, the
Capital of Oregon.
F. A. Sutton, R. F. D. No. 4, Salem,
Oregon, says: "Acute attacks of kid
ney disease and
rheumatism laid me
up off and on for
ten years. Awful
pains started from
the kidneys and
coursed down
through my limbs.
I sought the best
medical treatment
but in vain, and
when I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills
I was walking with two canes and suf
fering continual pains, headaches and
sleepless nights. I improved quickly
and after taking three boxes felt bet
ter than I had for 15 years. The ef
fects have been lasting.”

REHEARSAL IN A CAR.
Professional Entertainer Was Almost
Too Successful.
"The other night, coming home in
the car,” said the professional enter
tainer, "I began to wonder if I could
bring tears to my own eyes as I do
to the eyes of the other people. I
tried. I thought of all the wrongs I
had committed, and felt sorry for peo
ple 1 had wronged. 1 thought of all
the mistakes I had made that other
people had profited by and pretty soon
the tears began to gather in my eyes
and roll down niv cheeks.
”1 forgot there were other people I
in the car who might notice me. Soon
a woman got up from across the car
and came to me.
“ I see, sir,’ said she, ‘that you are
in some trouble. Can I do anything to
help you?'
“ ‘Lord bless you, no, madam,’ I told
her, hastily wiping away my tears, I
am a professional entertainer and was
practicing on myself. That's all.’ ”
ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit—
Cured Her with Cuticura.
“I have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on her
to get her cured and none of the treat
ments did her any good. Old Dr. --
suggested that he try the Cuticura
Remedies which he did. When he com
menced to use it the child was almost
a solid scab. He had used it about two
months and the child was well. I
could hardly believe she was the same
child. Her skin was as soft as a baby’s
without a scar on it. I have not seen
her in seventeen years, hut I have
heard from her and the last time I
heard she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle,
Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905.”
One Point of View.
It was the desire of a teacher in a
negro school to impress upon the
minds of the youths the benefits de
rived at Tuskegee and other seats of
learning for the ambitious negro. One
day, in closing a brilliant discourse on
this subject, in which Booker T. Wash
ington was set forth as a criterion,
she said to one little boy who had evi
dently heard not a word of her talk:
“Now 'Rastus, give the name of the
greatest negro?”
The answer was surprisingly forth
coming—Joe Cans!”
“The Armless Man”
Said, “It wasn't money he wanted, but
somebody to scratch his back.” There
are many with strong arms and will
ing hands that have that same yearn
ing. Hunt’s Cure will make hack
scratching, or any other old scratch
ing totally unnecessary. It knocks
out any itching sensation that ever
happened, and it does it right now.
One application relieves.
Why “Kangaroo.”
“Kangaroo” is a queer word. It
m^ans "I don’t understand” in the
longue of the Australian aborigines.
When this strange animal was first
behold by Europeans they inquired of
the aborigines “What is its name?”
And the puzzled reply gave the animal
its name. _
It’s a Hustler.

“Soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed.”
Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from a reed; it is formed, expands
to its full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law of
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind it nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is so strik
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum of
life, for a butterfly, for a nation, for a
star?—Henry Frederic Amiel.

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN?THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, snioo
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the cue
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. 1
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or slugg
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect ana cany
off the waste and refuse matter of thesystem. This unhealthy matter 1
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the <
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids tliroug
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, I b0rI‘ ’
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, us _
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from winch <■

It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though otkei P®
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks aud b !
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which arc in J ^
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and g’-'in?
