Hereafter, when the American girl'a father
refuses to let her attend a certain party she can
take some comfort in the fact that it is not so
hard as having to give up a coronation as Miss
Koosevelt di I.
An insurgent proclamation baa latdj
found in Um Philippines which says-lie United
States is in the midst of a civil war ; that the
coal miners hare riara against the government
and in a battle at Chicago 1,600 soldiers were
killed ; that President Roosevelt was to be de
posed and "Dr." Bryan proclaimed President
March 4 ; that Russia had declared war against
the United States and that Germany would furn
ish arms and ammunition to the Filipinos if they
would only hold ont. .
A habit of constantly looking upon the dark
side of things, of thinking something terrible is
going to happen, that we are unfortunate, that
fate is against up, that we were born under an
unlucky star, and that our lives are comparative
failures; a habit of thinking that we, perhaps.
are not so smart as others who have succeeded,
and that we have over estimated our ability ; in
other words, a habit of worrying or of self-depreciation
will, after a while, dwarf the highest
ideals. April "Success." ,
A billion des not strike the average mind as
a very great number in this day of billion dollar
trusts, yet a German scientist has computed that
at 10:40 a. m., April 29, a billion minutes will
have elapsed since the birth of Christ.
A St. Louis scientist who has been investigat
ing the matter auuouncce that smoke abatement
can be easily accomplished. The most effective
method to do away with all factory emoke, at
least would be to usher in another Cleveland free
trade policy.
In selecting a loy from a score of applicants,
a shrewd employer will take the one who gets
to his subject directly, states it concisely, with
the fewest words, outlines his position briefly
and stands or fulls by it, and does not bore him
by tilling of the great things he has accomplish
ed or of what he can do. "Success" for April.
Yes, said the western man, there ore several
patches of country still left out ' our way that
willv?- isv million of people each. There
is a section up in Wyoming, for instance,
known as the Big Horn Basin, which has just
Ijeen opened up by a new line of the Burlington
railroad. It covers about 50,000 square miles.
It's larger than New York state. Three times
as large as Denmark. Twice as large as Bavaria.
It is covered with beautiful streams, a never
fuiling water supply and the soil is as rich as any
in the world. The possibilities for irrigation
there are enormous and three big irrigation
ditches are built already. Oh ! yes, there are a
few scraps of real good country left. We won't
be crowded of the earth yet awhile.
Mr. Mahon's Endorsement
Cbamberaburg Public Opinion.
The convention on Tuesday could do no more
than endorse Honorable T. M. Mahon for re
nomination for Congressman from the Eighteenth
district. His name was the only one heard prior
to the convention in connection with the nomi
nation and, of course the endorsement was assur
ed. The absence of all opposition to him is
cause for congratulation among the Republicans
of the county, for it would be n circumstance to
be deplored if any opposition would assume the
proportions of vigorous contest, which might
cause some dissatisfaction and would necessitate
Mr. Mahon's winning by defeating some other
Franklin county Republican. As it stands now
he will win the nomination in the district, but if
he is compelled to defeat another candidate it
will be one from another, and not his home
county.
Timt he will win his nomination isacertainty.
Any opposition to him that exists is weak,
sporadic and futile. He will have for him more
than enough of the conferees from the several
counties of the district to insure his renomination
for Congress, where he has served with such
ability and fidelity for five terms. His return
for his sixth term will be deserved honor, in
which all of his friends rejoice. ',

Bcribner's Magazine for April begins a new
novel by Richard Harding Davis an event of
the first importance to all lovers of good fiction.
"Captain Macklin," which begins in this num
ber, is the longest novel written by Mr. Davis
and is his first since "Soldier of Fortune." It is
his most mature work, and narrates the adven
ture of a young West Pointer who was dismissed
from the Academy and went to Honduras to make
a name for himself as a soldier with a body of
revolutionists. It is romantic and adventurous
in every page, and the development of the hero
from his "club" stasre to a self-reliant soldier is
d.nWpd with even more skill than Mr. Davis Brussels Carpet. 45. 50, 65,75

Chief among the attractive features of the Easter
Ladies' Home Journal is the opening installment
of Helen Keller's own story of her life. The fact
that thu, and all the autobiography which is to
follow, were actually written by the wonderful

literary merit of her production. Th&e is a de
lightful personal article about "The President's
Daughter," accompanied by a hiterto unpublished
picture of Miss Roosevelt, and a pretty story of the
singing of Easter carols in a New York belfry
on Easter morning. Neltje Blonchan tells "Why
