SENATOR Lodge savs the government seeds are a
humbug. The farmer thinks so too, especially the seeds
that have been bought because they were cheap.
THE allowance of seed to each congressman has

COLUMBUS thought he had found a continent when

THE suggestion of a day on which the American
people should give consideration to the things which per
tain to the farm, the home and the factory, is all right,
but every day should be such. These are the vital things
in American life. They should not be neglected even for
a day.
WHILE our settlement workers are teaching Shakes

helpful and much needed reform.

was that he couldn't drop dead.

drew the charges against them and of course says nothing
of the wives who were beaten and said nothing about it.
If the whipping post for wife heaters for which Represen

predicted that wife beating will show a marked decline,
SOME years ago it was declared that the effort to
introduce reindeer into Alaska for the benefit of the Eski
mos was as much a failure as the effort once made to try
out camels on the so-called deserts of the Southwest. Now
it is stated that on the contrary the reindeer experiment
was quite successful; that in the ten years previous to
1002, when importation was permitted from Russia, 1,280
were received in Alaska; that stations have been establish
ed at many places for them and the heads now number
8,190; that sixty-eight Eskimo now own 2,H4t reindeer,
aid that the system of teaching the Eskimos how to use
them is working out well. They are given outright to in
telligent young natives after an apprenticeship with the
government. This is one of the most sensible departures
the government has made, and it will ultimately lead to
great improvement in the condition of the 20,000 Eskimos
of the Northwest.
THE RUSSIAN SITUATION
jrrllE interview which Grand Duke Vladimir gave
V the Associated Press is important, because it
shows that the -Russian autocracy now realizes
there is a public sentiment which it can no longer j
treat with consumptions indifference, as has been j
the case in the past.
The Grand Duke expresses surprise that Amer
ica seems to think ill now of Russia. Ho asks, rl
- to the massacre at St. Peter .Vr.-g on Sunday.
January 22, "Why, because this occurred in Russia. ,
should the whole world point the linger of scorn at I
us
The Grand Duke displays ignorance of the I
world. America first turned against her when
Russia began to practice evasion and deceit respect
ing fhe evacuation of Manchuria. The Russian Gov
ernment made a positive promise to our State De
partment that at a specified date she would with
draw from Manchuria and evacuate Newchwang;
but she deliberately violated that pledge, and pur
sued a policy of such duplicity and deliberate bad j
faith that the little respect entertained for her by a ]
small fraction of the people of this country was
turned into disgust.
'I his disgust grew when the recent massacre oc
curred at St. Petersburg. The Grand Duke at
tempts to palliate the massacre by alleging that
back of the peaceful petitioners was a riotous mob;
that, had the petitioners not been shot down, the j
mob would have sacked the palace, "as the mob
sacked Versailles." This is a very inept allu
sion.
It presents the thought that the same wrongs,
the same indignities, the same corruption, the same
oppression, the same tyranny by a rotten aristocracy
prevail in Russia as prevailed in France prior to the
Revolution, and that tho same horrible dtl ige of
blood and carnage to wipe it out seems now immi
nent.
The American people would be false to their
ideals did they not cry out in protest when an op
pressed people, seeking by petition the redress of
their wrongs, are shot down in cold blood. The
Grand Duke in his interview says that Russia is
"not ripe for a constitution;" to "grant it would
mean anarchy." So said George 111 to the Amer
icans; so said Louis XVI; so said every sovereign
and absolute monarch in the world's history in re
sponse to appeals for liberty; yet tho flame cannot
Lie extinguished. What history tells of other lands
it will repeat of Russia.
REFORESTING THE EASTERN STATES
011 ROUGH the self-interest of the great railroad
corporations Iho reforesting of the Eastern
States has liegun. The Pennsylvania Railroad
this spring will plant 2,000 acres with seedlings to
furnish timber for its cross-ties. The planting will
continue annually at this rate until a hundred square
miles are planted for this one purpose.
The annual number of ties used on the Penn
sylvania lines east of Pittsburg and Erie is three
and a half millions. The cost of these ties has so
increased that Iho company finds it cheaper to buy
land and raise its own ties.
In the West several railroads have adopted a
similar policy of raising their own timber, and the
farmers plant catalpa, locust, cedar and chestnut to
raise their own fence-posts.
If the paper companies, the furniture, match,
toothpick, cooperage and other corporations requir
ing special kinds of timber, awake to the sagacity
and business policy of raising their own raw mater
ial, a great deal will be done in the work of practi
cal reforestation.
IT IS A GOOD THING
—r HE value of the Intelligencer becomes more and
V more manifest with each issue. People are
learning to appreciate a good paper, and while
we are constantly adding new subscribers, our mer
chants also realize its worth as a medium to adver
tise their goods and wares. Today finds the hust
ling firm of John Doster's Sons abreast of them all
by placing a fuil column advertisement with us.
These gentlemen are in a position to know
which paper covers the field, for their extensive
business in the rural districts places them in full
knowledge of the circulation throughout the county
of our newspaper production.
All the best citizens of the county are subscrib
ers to the Intelligencer, and these are the people the
merchants desire to talk to; these are the ones they
care to invite to visit them and examine their stocks
and prices.
No one will miss it by advertising 111 the Intelli
gencer. Give it a trial for results.
THE German government will not buy the German
coal mines in order to have them operated with due re
gard to the lives and health of miners, but will enact a
law limiting the hours of employment. Where it is as
hot as the men can endure the day shall be only nine
hours, and where it is still hotter the day may be limited
to six and a half hours.
Tin: death of theOherlin banker who was the dupe
of Mrs. Chad wick puts a different phase on the suit to
bring the woman to justice for her flagrant frauds. It is
barely possible that without his testimony 110 ease ean be
made against her in Ohio, but there are accusations against
her in other states that will not be allowed to drop. She
committed one of the most remarkable frauds of the year
and her case will atlraet attention for many months. The
poor, old banker who fell a victim to her wiles had noth
ing left to live for and his death was probably as much
one of a broken heart as anything else.
ONE may not yet get an understanding of the sit
uation in Russia as clear as could be desired, but it is be
coming evident that the uprising of the people was more
serious than the government would have us believe, and
that the results are likely to be beneficial rather than
otherwise. Out of the eliaos and strife is sure to come
some advancement. The Russian autocracy can be moved
only by the bludgeon. It has seemed cruel that such
crimes should be necessary to make the stolid ministers
realize that some reform must be effected, and yet since it
appears that is the only way it could be done, the blood
was not shed in vain. When the Russian government
becomes actually engaged in real reform work the disorder
will cease and there will be improvement on all sides.
lan would preceded him and have had the honor of taking
Mrs. Roosevelt into dinner. We have all seen these
transformations in our statesmen. Men coming sockless
to Congress return to their astonished communities wear
ing patent leather shoes and white spats. Senators with
out a dinner coat after a few years in Washington may
he seen coming home at ;» o'clock in the morning 111 their
dress suits. A statesman appearing at Cabinet receptions
in high hat and tan shoes may be met in Hurope the fol
lowing year traveling with a valet. There was a time
within the memory of man when " Uncle Joe" consider,
ed a necktie a superfluity, and a clean shirt and a vest all <
[he dinner costume that the most fastidious could desire.
But all this is changed. He is Sjieaker of the House and
he will take Mrs. Roosevelt into dinner or he will dine
somewhere else. He is going to have an automobile and
will probably wear a dog skin coat and goggles and l!;?

Work, Morals and Happiness.
Esperance Goodlove, who is writ
ing a series of thoughtful articles on
the personal phases of a business wo-1
man's life, in the New Men Woman's
Magazine, ami turning up it fresh
idea or two in each number, says, in
the March issue, that the busness
woman be'ono-R to the middle class,
a J I a 4, iiwi ».lira's are likely to le
tn jaw of her class. It is generally
admitted the world over," she con
tinues, "that a reasonable amount of
reasonab'y congenial work tends to
produce a healthy mental, moral and
physical development. The middle
class has just this r« asoliable amount.
The class above has it not." It is to
be assumed that the writer consideis
that the moral condition of the class
below is also threatened, but by the
excess rather than by the lack of
work. Supposing, then, that a right
moral equilibrium is the thing desir
able above all others, the thing that
more than nnything else tends to
give happiness to the human race, it
would appear that instead of the
social aspirations of the working class
tending toward the leisured class,
the reverse should be the case, and
the social aspirations of both the high
est and the lowest classes should con
verge toward those people of moder
ate incomes who live good and happy
lives in the golden mean.
Dr. Ellot*s Gentleman.
(E. 8. Mart In In the Metropolitan Magazine
for February.)
Discussing the characteristics of a
gentleman in democratic society,
President Eliot said that he should be
gentle of speech, quiet of demeanor,
a serene person who does not bluster
or bustle or hurry or vociferate, but
who pays attention with the iutent
mind which is requisite to effective
ness. . He accorded him the disposi
tion to see the stipei ijrities in per
sons ra her than their inferiorities,
and a preference for the soeieiv of
his superiors. And he held that lie
should have a generous spirit, con
forming bis life to his resources,
avoiding both lavishncss and parsi
I niony.
He should be considerate too, es
pecially toward those who are in any
way in his power, and should scrupu
lously avoid hurting any one weaker
than himself. lie even denied him
the precious privilege of being lazy.
His democratic gentleman must be a
power, a worker, a disinterested
laborer in the service of others; not a
weakling or a mere pleasure-seeker,
but a strong and hard-working man.
A Century of Great Men.
(From London Truth.)
From 1730 io lrt.'iO is the most mem
orable period in modern history. Six
great men made their marks—Napo
leon, whose chief feature was ambi
tion: Nelson, courage; Washington,
independence; Welington, thorough
ness; Pitt, statesmanship, and George
Stephenson, ingenuity. Washington
and Nelson have secured the affection
of posterity, Washington and Steph
enson have done the most for man
kind, Wellington enjoys the respect
all, Pitt has our admiration and
Napo'eon will forever excite the
wonder of the world. Napoleon en
deavored to icraodel Europe; George
Stephenson succeeded in doing so !
Washington and Stephenson together
had independence, observation and
ingenuity—the three qualities which
are of the most service to humanity
Fish Hospital at Vienna.
The Frankfort News states that
since the beginning of the winter
term a station for research and ob
servation of sick fish has been estab
lished at the Veterinary High School
of Vienna, under the diiection of
Prof. Dr. Ficbiger. Officials of this
institution will investigate the biol
ogy and pathology of fish. One of
the main objects of the researches
will be to study whether certain
diseases of iisli are transmitted to
man, and if so to what extent. The
scientific diagnosis of the sick fish is
affixed to each compartment contain
ing them. Fi lies are to be found
suffering from small pox and others
from intestinal catarrh. A dolphin
was brought to the institute with a
disease which was diagnosed as in
flammation of the lungs.
American Men Being Spoiled ?
Fr.iulein Kirsehncu, the renowned
art designer, of Berlin, giving her
impressions of America, sayv: "Amur
ican men are a splendid creation, but
greatly in danger of being spoiled.
The women are so independent that
men do not offer to do anything for
them, fan ing to be snubbed. Thus
they aie in danger of losing much of
the instinct of chivalry with which
by nature they are endowed. The
American people, like children, hate
to be found fault with, and cannot
stand chaffing. American art is |
j>ecu'iar. There is no personal art,
but an extraordinary knack of taking
oyer everything Kuropean and adapt
ing it to their needs, taking short
cuts and attaining much except in
architecture. Their art is a thing for
the present.
Discovery of America Cost $ 7,000.
Home, Feb. 4.—The discovery of
America, according to' documents
found in the archives of Genoa, cost
a little more than $7,000. The tleet

about $.3,000, while the salaiy of the
admiral amounted to S3OO a year.
The two captains who accompanied
the expedition received a salary of
S2OO, and the members of bis ciew
were paid at the rate of $2 50a month

ARREST DIDN'T SCARE
THIS ARDENT WOOER
Easton, Pa., Feb. (i. —Persistence
ill courtship, under di."ouraging cir
cumstances, lias won a bride for
Samuel Kontor, an Austrian, of
Tataniv.
With such vigor did ho press liis
suit that his inamorata, Miss Marc
zella Szandi, had him arrested a week
ago. She complained that he insisted
on courting her after she had ordered
him from the house.
The case was settled before Squire
Hoppel, and the pair went away
together. But Kontor was not to be
thwarted in his love-making, and
Saturday they again appeared before
the Squire and were married.
Mercy for Mrs. Edwards.
All honor to Carrie Ivilgore. She
has made ine a convert to the cause
of Mrs. Edwards, of Reading. As
long as I thought her a bad woman,
in league .with that negro to do away
with her husband, I thought, "Hang
Iter!" but if she is an epileptic and
her hushnnd abused her so terribly,
surely she should have mercy shown
her. For men to hang Mrs. Ed
warns would be murder. Even State's
prison is more than she ought to have.
It is cruel kindness to save her from
death, only to condemn her to a liv
ing death. Put her in some institu
tion where she can be useful.
I am not in favor of woman's rights
in all that it implies, but women
should have sonic say in the making
of laws they have to live under. Take
the case of the so-called white slaves.
Some politicians do protect those vile
places and frequent them, too. How
many of those creatures will be pun
ished? Most likely they will be given
some higher political office.
To save the reputation of the pow
ers that be, and incidentally get a
little money, they raid Chinatown,
Philadelphia. Grant the Chinese are
bad enough, but there are worse,
whom the police don't molest. How
long will respectable people put up
with this state of affairs? Women,
rouse yourselves? Take a hand in
affairs, to save your daughters from
falling into the snares of these fiends.
Honest, upright men (there arc
some), prove your ability to manage
the affairs of the world. Take a firm
hand in helping your wives, daugh
ters and sisters to keep out of the
clutches of these fiends. And at elec
tion vote as men should. Don't let
the world boss vote for you. Don't
let any man own you. Don't vote to
please the boss, and for pay go with
some of his henchmen to an empty
house, or to the home of one of the
gang, for a drink of whisky. Assert
yourselves, and before long those
same politicians will ask your honest
help to get them a job.

How Is
Your Heart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or does it skip a beat ?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting-,smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side?
If you have any of these
symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
"About January Ist, 1902. I took
down with weakness and dropsy
and gradually grew worse. I was told
by my family physician that my casa
was hopeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larger than normal size, and
water had collected around my heart
For at least three months I had to ilt

I would now be in my grave."
