( I T OWN SALARIES $ 1,000
Pittsburgh Councilman Kacoausend
Many Similar Kadoctioaa
Pittsburgh, Dec. s.—An action which
probably is without precedent in the
history of legislative bodies in Pitts
burgh, the county or the State, was ta
ken as a master stroke to insure econo
my in the city's finances vesterday,
when the city's nine CouAciliuvn, during
consideration of next year's budget,
cut their own salaries 11,000 a year
each, and passed a motion which prac
tically demands that every city official,
from the Mayor down through his cabi
net. volunteer to accept a proportionate
cut.
Other motions which were considered
and which will i>e taken up after a
conference with the Mayor and his cab
inet will effect reductions of from 5 to
15 per cent, on every salary above
$1,600.
CouucilinanK' salaries have heretofore
been $6,500.
HOBOES HIS WEDDING (JI'ESTS
Wealthy Chicago Manufacturer Has a
Unique Party
Chicago, Pec. 5. —With " down and
outs*' da I in ill fitting and untidy
clothes as his guests, .1. W. Gossard, a
wealthy corset manufacturer, and Mrs.
Sarah 11 Brown, a student at the Uni
versity of Chicago and a social settle
ment worker, were married Thursday
by the Bev. J. T. McMullens at the
Wabash Avenue church.
Preceding tho ceremony Mr. Gossard
distributed Bibles amoag his tattered
acquaintances, who thumbed the pages
until they reached the gospel of St.
j Luke. Xlr. Gossard theu read to them
I several passages in the gospel.
'"I chose this setting," Mr. Gossarxi
said, "because these men are my
, friends. Some are sadly garbed and in
j want, l\nt they are my friends and
j men whom 1 love. You can write your
name on the sand and the waves will
' wash it out, but I want to write my
name on the hearts of these m,en so
f they will remember me always.
"I could have been married in other
1 churches with men of wealth and fam
| ily about me, but T could not have these
■ men there. My soul wanted these men
I my friends. My romance is four months
oki. 1 met Mrs. Brown at that time
while on an errand of mercy. Since
then she hits taken an interest in this
work with me. Now God has given her
to me as my wife.'
MIGHT BOX WIFE'S EARS •
Justified Under Some Circumstances,
Judge Says
Baltimore, Dec. a.—A man is justi
fied in boxing his wife's ears when she
pays more attention to her clothes than
i she does to her children, ruled Justice
I Smith in the Police Court here. Frank
J Cohen was arrested on a warrant sworn
j out by his wife, who complained that
he came home the other night and,
while she Was peacefully reclining on a
lonuge, boxed her ears. *
Cohen told of the taste of his better
half or stylish clothes, of his efforts
to buy her as many new gowns as he
could afford and of her inclination for
amusements. When he went home the
night the trouble occurred, he said, he
found his two small children neglected
on the street and his wife gone. While
he was out looking for her she returned.
It was then, he almitted, that he
struck her.
) ,- The law does not give you the
! right to bos your wife's ears,'' Jus-
I tiee Smith -aid, "but in this ease there
was considerable provocation. Dis
! missed.''

to build up the weakened kidneys,
make them vigorous, ridding your bk>od

SKIRTS MUST BE FULL
TaUor.m*de Season Decreed for Styles
of 1015
Toledo, Dec. s.—The style commit
tee of the National Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers' Association will
decree to-day that the tight skirt must
i give way to fullness below the waist
line. The association so decided yes
terday afternoon at the first day's aps
! tion of the annual convention.
The coats and skirts are to be short
er, and almost entirely there will be a
tailor-made season in' 1915 for Amer
! ican women.
In working out the styles the idea is
to have more sense in the fashions.
1 All is modest and conservative, foreign
suggestions of color or style being elimi
i i.ated. George W. Forney, of Cleve
! land, was elected president.
SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN
Robert Voy, Honesdale Trackwalker,
Owes liife to Postal Receipts
Honeslale, Pa., Dec. 5.—A roll of
po>tal savings receipt', amounting to
*l2O in value, probably saved thy life
of Robert Voy, aged 56, an Brie track
va'ker, when he was held up by ina>Ued
highwaymen in his shanty .abut; tlie
main line near Stockport." One buUet
tired by the robbers entered his right
lung and the other was defleetui ov
the packet in an inside pocket. Vov
staggered two miles to ihe station and
was taken to the Susquehanna hos
pital, where he is ir. a critical condi
tion, the bullet not having been located.
Revenge is believed to have been
the motive for the crime, as ouly
was taken.
MARINE'S BODY IN CAMDEN
Andrew Priestley Was Shot by Mexi
can Woman
Philadelphia, Dec. s.—The body of
Andrew Priestley, brought from Vera
Cruz on the transport San Marcos,
which reached the Philadelphia Navy
Yard on Thursday night, has been ta
ken in charge by Johai Crawford, an un
dertaker, of East Camden.
Priestley, whose home was at 50 Al
berta street, East Cam.;en, was a wa
ter tender on the battleship Texas and
was killed at Vera XJruz by a bullet
from a revolver fired by a Mexican
woman. He had been nine years in the
service. The funeral services probably
will be held on Monday.
INAUGURATE NEW LINE OF
WORK TO BELP FARMER
Weather Bureau. Taking Up Special
•tody. Which Will Be a Benefit to
the Agriculturalist as Well as the
Ctonaral Public
Washington, "D. C., D*c. s.—Several
now lines .of work for the benefit of the
publie, anil especially of the farmers,
according to the annual report of the
Weather Bureau were inaugurated dur
ing the year. Others recently begun
have been extended into portions oif th«
country where the growing important'*
of agricultural pursuits have madt
them of increased value.
A special service given to orchard
ists and raisers of tdbacco, oranges,
cranberries and certain other crops
has been rendered by means of frost
warnings issued in spring and autumn.
Close attention is paid by the fore
casters to the needs of these crops at
critical periods, and the growers are
kept fulllv advisA.l as to the dangers
of frost and are warned of the neces
sity of resorting to measures oi pro
tection through artificial heating and
smudging, or flooding the bogs in the
case of cranberries.
The establishment of a "'Cattle Re
gion Service," through which bulletins
■containing statements of weather con
ditions over the stock ranges of the
Texas panhandle and adjacent regions
are issued, constitutes a new fcaturo
of the bureau's work. This has been
particularly effective as affecting the
cattle industry of the great Southwest,
having proved of such material value
as to create a demand for its continu
ance throughout the entire year, in
stead of from April to October as at
present.
Another opportunity for service has
been found in the timbered regions of
j the west during periods of unusual
i drivight. This has been taken advan
j tage of through the issue of special
| forecasts of hot dry winds, which are
: disseminated directly to the officials of
j the fire patrol of the Forest Service
and other similar organizations, placing
l them on their guard* at times of un
usual danger of fire inception. A fea
ture of considerable moment to scien
tists ami students of meteorology' was
the daily issue of a weather map for
j the entire Northern hemisphere, begun
j by the bureau last January
j natefly, the issue of this map was ne
cessarily suspended at the outbreak of
the present European war.
A special investigation of orchard
conditions in western North Carolina,
where systematic observations are be-
I ing carried on in a number of orchards
. by the Weather Bureau in co-operation
[ with the State Experiment Station,
I promises to give valuable results.
These studies have in view the estab
i lishment of the influence of topography
on local climate, the ultimate object
| heing to differentiate the safe and un
safe locations for orchards in such re
, gions.
Explorations of the upper air and
j studies of solar radiation were con-
I tinued bv the bureau during the year.
; No small light has been thrown upon
I obscure features of weather control
through the information already ob
tained of conditions prevailing in the
i upper atmosphere, an-1 continued in
j vestigations ar e expected to disclose ad
ditional valuable facts. Active field
! work of this character was transferred
| during the year from Mount Weather,
j a., to Port Omaha, Neb., where more
i favorable conditions for atmospheric
| exploration exist.

BETTER THAN SPANKING
Spanking does not core children of bed
wetting. There is a constitutional cause
for this trouble. Mrs. M. Summers, Box
W, South Band, Ind., will send tree to
any mother her successful home treat
ment, with full instructions. Send no
money, but write her today if your chil- 1
drrn trouble yoa in this way. Don't
blame toe child —the chances are it can't
help it. This treatment also cures adults
and aged people troubled with urine diffl- j
ml ties by day or Sight.

cerning school conditions And hes pub
lished the results in a Wlletin jut»t is
sued.
Compulsory attendance upon school,
brtbween the a,ges of 7 and 14, is no
i strictly enforced in Denmark that "the
i few Who persist in avoiding their leg.il
rwpansi b i lit ies are punished so se
verely that they are gifeul enough to
| change their minds.''
According to Mr. Foght the Danish
schools are MII eix tfcavs in the week,
giving at least 2 4fi sdhootl days to tlie
i yew. The people are so imbued with
•the value of education thrift they will
! £» to any extremity to keep cihildren
1 in school.
School life is made attractive by
giving a toirge place to popular songs.
" Aill tcarters, suys Mr. Foght,
"must be able to instruct in music
whether they can swig or not. The
teacher almost in variably accompanies
the song with a v io«in, wihie.h all teach
ors know how to use.'' School music
iiveluiiea patriotic, religious and folk
songs.
DanMi seflioofe do not use n spelling
book. Spelling is taught as a part of
the reading process. Ormnmv is like
wise taught largely through "doing,"
as Mr. Foght expressed it. "Dicta
tion is given from some classic; this
is then analyzed and rules of grammar
are. applied as needed." The Bible is
atrongtv emphasized in ail the schools.
Children at school wear slippers and
the girls wear short bloomer-like skirts, j
I In their physical exercises, which have
' a prominent p'.ace in even the rural
I schools of Denmark, the pecoilii'ar dress
j of the girl* servos thorn well in giving !
I freedom oif movement.
Mr. Foght '"lays that the secwt of i
Denmark's high place iu education a?
affairs lies in the hold which the teac.li- !
I er lias upon the entire people. Every j
teacher is a professional teacher. The
i saiku-ies are among the highest given
to 'amy class of workers. Teachers'
houses with valuable piece* otf l«uid
attached, are furnished in a.hlition to
the already liberal salaries. Teaching;
is, frotm every standpoint, made hon
orable in Denmark. The teacher has i
hiih social ranking, is a leader in both I
j church and State, anil is invariably
| pensioned for disability or age.
| Teachers so thoroughly furnish and
i working under such happy conditions
very naturally exemplify a higher or
der of teaching. Mr. Pog'bt says: "The
Danish teacher draws upon their
, broad, general reading and experience
for much o>f the ola»* room materials,
instead of depending upon textbooks l
to furnish everything required."

DISAGKEEABI.ENESS OF DUTY.

"duty" has any gender. "That which

W» Know Our Duty.
Wasn't it .Samanthn who said, "I al
ius know my duty 'cnuse I hate It so?"
I guoss she was right. We # know our
duty by our frank Instinctive antipathy
to It. In all the bright lexleou of
youth I always found "duty" the hard
est word to prononuce. But thank
goodness for the heroic streak In us
that makes us do our duty, pleasant
or unpleasant. We are not Jellyfish, If
we do sometimes seem without verte
brae. Duty is a tonic for our sickly
souls. It alters the perspective ,of our
view. We ought to do It-therefore It
Is right. When there are carrots on
the parsonage table my boy Bob eats
them first, not because he likes them,
but because be feels he must Bravo,
Bob! His mother that day secretly

Unavoidable*** of Duty.
Folks there are who slip away from
duty by denying it. Quite a sugges
tion. The best way to overcome a
truth is to Ignore It. I have dona
tt myself. When duty was pricking
me sore I have shaken my head
doggedly. "'Taln't my place to do
that!" Ananias! No, rather grand
child of Jonah! No one can run away
from duty, because conscience goes
with him. Javert never hung closer
to Vnljean. Most of us are skilled In
dressing up our excuses for escaping
duty. We shift the burden on to our
neighbor, our destiny, heredity, en
vironment, temperament, the devil or
even God himself. But It Is useless.
The ostrich has nice feathers, but It
Isn't noted for wisdom. What artless
folks the priest and Invite who "pass
ed by on the other side" were. I think
frequently we make our own difficul
ties. After all the Important question
is not what the duty is or how it came,
but what we think about that duty
that makes us afraid of It. A recent
book on dogs says: "Don't be afraid
of dogs. • Don't run—they'll snip you.
Walk toward them confidently. Smile.
He'll wag his tall, which Is a dog's
way of saying, 'Pardon me, I was mis
taken.'" I've some duties and some
church members I am going to try
that on.
"Brother, It's My Duty."
Duties sometime!) conflict. A son
lives with his wife and his mother.
The debt he owes to the woman who
bore him and cared for him for thrice
seven years, and the woman for whom
he has vowed to forsake all others—
what shall he do? A lad was to l>e
shot for sleeping on picket duty. His
little sister came down from Vermont
to plead for the boy. Great generals
said his death was necessary for the
discipline and safety of the Union
army. What was Lincoln's duty—sign
the death warrant or the reprieve?
One's honor or the duty of silence un
der provocation? In the dull drab
monotony of everyday life what we
want to do or ought to do? How about
mistaken duties? Live with a bod hus
band or hunt up n divorce lawyer?
Have you any of those dear brethren
who "think It their duty to tell you
what folks say about you?" I wish
they would think it a duty to repeat
pleasant things now and then. I know
those zealous, misguided folks will get
to heaven, but I do hope my mausion
Isn't next door to theirs.
Tha Bluebird of Happiness.
The secret of happiness is duty done.
That's why some of us short 011
hapfrtness and long on the things we
ought to have done. Truth must be
presented whether clad in calico or
purple. 1 suppose duty Is dressed most
ly In drab and homespun. This must
be said, "As blessings become brighter
when we are about to lose them, duty
dwindles as we bravely attack it."
Where love actuates the thing Is no
longer duty. If a son came back from
the city once a year to visit his mother,
and said. "I've come to visit you.
mother, because I feel it my duty."
she would reply, "Better not come at
all." If a young fellow said to his
best girl, "I'm kissing yon tonight be
cause it Is my duty," she would flash
back, "I've another fellow who kisses
me because he likes to." Do you get
that? The moment we like to do a
thing It is no longer a duty—it's a
pleasure. Try to like the task, smile
at It. notice it smile back Emerson
said, "If there's anything you espe
lially shrink from doing, do it." There's
a soul satisfaction in duty well done.
It exalts us—lt helps others. When
It Is done It gives you back more than
you put in it Hare investment The
good book says. "Hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: Pear God and
keep his commandments; this la th*
whole duty of man."
