TI1E CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1000. Humor and Philosophy By HXtCAt M. SMITH ANTICIPATION. THE summer vacation! Oh, ain't It the WjoJs To pack your belongliiss And hike for the woods, To bind up your tackle Secure In a strap And make for tho region Where fish are on tap? A grand dissipation It seems In advance To revel In nature Where butterflies dance, Tourself on the ureensward To carelessly film? And dine on cold lunches Or any old thine. With maidens of twenty To willfully flirt, To faithfully follow The swish of a skirt Or take them out boatlns At even and show Tho way that n fellow With muscle can row Vacation Is surely A vision most rare, A dream of contentment When summer Is fair, And, though it may never Come up to tho mark. In sweet contemplation It's surely n lark. The Crucial Moment. "Would you mind telling me how you became a successful man?" asked the visitor. "Why, I couldn't talk about that now," answered the man with a wor ried look. "It's too early in life." "But you have made a fortune and engineered great enterprises and fo cured the confidence and applause or your people and" "Oh, yes, but that's all in my regular work, 'naven't you heard about what we're doing now?" "Whv or I can't say that I have." "We're going to give a party. It'll be one of the biggest ever given, and you'll have to wait till uiy wife sees a T 1.-1 l.f.-. If'a .IrtnMiwt I now x ueu,ii: uvitui; . i. ,.wv.v.. whether I'm a success or not." A Predicament. "Iloot mon!" shouted the Scotch con tractor who Is putting up a fine house In tho suburbs. "I cauna manage wl' ye! Gang home, mon." "What for?" "Dlnna I tell ye to talc' tho hurl barra an' trun'le tliae stanes doon there, an' ye studo an' glower't at me. I canna manage wl' ye when ye dlnna understan' Kngllsh." Sustaining the Judicial Dignity. Arizona Sam Groat doin's up ter the courthouse!

Arizona Sam Why, yes. Ye -pee, he noxor axed the court ter jine him. Ancient Article. "Waiter." shouted the irate guest, what kind of a steak do you call this?"

The Lady The lady whose name you gave as reference, Delia, tells me you were not always truthful and obedient. The Cook No, ma'am; I couldn't be. wid her teilln' nie all tho time to say she wasn't at home. No Outlet. "It is just my luck." said the house wife, with a look of despair. "What's the matter now?" "There hasn't a single tramp come along since I spoiled that batch of bread." The Years. They drop upon the shoulder So surely one by one; The timid year grows bolder With each ensuing sun. They heavy grow to carry, So flags the strength and falls, But still they do not tarry, So little love avails. But smile a bit, my dearie, And cast away your fears. Hake full and bright and cheery The measure of your years. PERT PARAGRAPHS. Occasionally we find n man who is looking earnestly for tho truth, but Insisting that It shall be his special brand. Some of our friends always act as If they held letters patent on tho uni verse. If the other fellow Is bound to worry reduce It 00 per cent by cheerfully let ting hlra. Blood will tell, but sometimes we bate to listen to It Knowing when to giro and when to withhold sympathy amounts to the Inspirational. Don't expect tho other fellow to bo dead anxious to do tho thing that yon hate horribly to do. Vlrtuo Is Its own reward If It can corner somo necessity. PEOPLE OF THE Opposed to Trades Unionism. John Klrby, Jr., the now president of the National Mnnufd'turer.s' associa tion, li.n.t announced th.it ho will con tinue too t'gsresslve policy of his pred ecessors Sua lust organized labor. Ills Immediate predecessor, J. V. Van Cleave, served three years as head of the association, and before Mr. Van Cleave D. M. Parry and C. W. Post. Jr., directed Its policies. All were op posed to trades unions as at present conducted and fought them tooth and nail. Mr. Van Cleave as president of the Buck's Stove and Range company instituted the suit against labor lead ers for the boycott of his stoves that joira Krnnr, jr. resulted In the trial and sentence to jail of Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank Morrison. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Kir by said, "I have been elected presi dent not on account of my ability, but simply because you know where I stand on the labor question." Continu ing, lie said that the American Fed eration of Labor would be down ami out but for tho fact that "some rich men, in mistaken acts of philanthropy, have enabled labor leaders to become strong with social and civic organiza tions by inviting them to make speech es before such bodies." John Kirby, Jr., is a resident of Pa ton, O., and has" long been prominent In the Manufacturers' association. His Reward. Senator Dollivcr. discussing certalu tariff propositions with a Washington correspondent last month, said: "Those propositions would pay a the Denver man's advertising cam paign did. " 'Advertising always pays,' said a friend of this man. 'Take the case of Smith. Smith recently conducted a t extensive advertising campalr-i throughout the country and was there by discovered by his wife., whom ho had deserted some ten years before.' " 1 Railroad Traffic Expert. I John C. Stubbs. traffic director of j tho Ilarriman lines, holds one of the ' most Important posts in the railroad world. He controls absolutely the traf i lie moving over 27.000 miles of rail and boat lines, a far greater mileage that any traffic man has heretofore managed. Tlie traffic man of a big railroad generally ranks next to the president. Sometimes ho i tho president, for traf fic experts have had their ability rec ognized by promotion to the highest place. In tho case of the Ilarriman lines the president is not the practical traffic man. .ainoiis railroad men Mr. JOHN a STUBBS. Stubbs Is frequently spoken of as the traffic brains of E. H. Harrlman, and to him have been credited many of tho letter's moves, most of which are In spired by considerations of traffic. Mr. Stubbs Is a native of Ohio, sixty, two years old and began ht3 railroad career In a freight office in Oakland, Cal. He developed under C. P. Hun tington, and when Mr. Harrlman got the Southern Pacific ho also secured tho valuable services of John C. Stubbs and Immediately made him commanding general of tho traffic of all the lines ho controlled. The head quarters of Mr. narrlmnn'8 traffic di rector are In Chicago. From there ho gives his orders, which nro executed on tho boat lines on the Atlantic coast as well as on the rail lines aerosa the continent. A'" . - f. V pf fit 1 I 1 FREE HIS IN. Seems Certain That House Gains Its Point. OIL, GLOVES AND HOSIERY TOO Surrenders to Senate on Lumber, Coal, Iron and Print Paper. Facts All leak Despite Silence Oath. Washington. July US. After a ses sion of forty-nine minutes the house adjourned until tomorrow, at which time it is expected that the much talked of resolution authorizing the tariff conferees to reduce the rates on leather goods below those of the Payne bill will be brought In and acted upon. When the proposition to adjourn over was submitted by Mr. Payne some laughter was created by Mr. Clark, the minority leader, remarking I i that lie was being "deviled to death" for information as to when the Iemo cratle conferees were to be called in. 1 "If you can tell me, I'll tell you," was the only consolation he got front the ways and means chairman. From the best Information obtaina ble today it appears that the house has won Its battles for free hides and t oil and Increased rates on gloves and hosiery in return tor a surrender to the senate on lumber, coal, iron ore and print paper. The rates on these schedules, as they have been tentatively arranged pending the acceptance by both houses of the program for a reduction on the duties on manufactures of leather be low the rates Used by the house, are as follows: Oil, free; coal, 45 cents a ton; print paper, $3.o0 a ton; iron ore, 15 cents a tou. Lumber Rough, $1.50 a thousand feet; one side linlshed, 2; two sides finished, t-'-'A throe sides finished, which may include tonguelng and grooving, $2.t!2';; four sides lin lshed, $3. Gloves, $4 per dozen pairs, not ex ceeding fourteen inches in length, which is the standard length. Exceed ing fourteen inches. ;15 cents per dozen is added for each inch. This rate does not apply to the scliinaschen, or cheap B,,,v-;- " w,,,eih the senate rate of st.2, per dozen pairs is retained. The latter rate is a reduction from the Dingley rates, but the Ionise rates accepted on the higher graoes of gloves represent heavy Increases over existing duties. Hosiery, valued at $1 or less per dozen pairs, 70 cents, as against tho senate and existing rate of 50 cents. On values up to ?2 the rate Is slightly In excess of existing duties and n shad ing below the rates fixed by the house. On the highest grades the senate and house rates were Identical. For nearly a week the question of putting hides on the free list or Im posing a nominal duty upon them has been before the conference committee. Not even a normal duty proved m ceptable to Representative Payne, whose position was strengthened by the support of President Tnft. and the senate was compelled to yield in spite of the fact that free hides threatened to provoke an Insurrection anion stand pat senators from cattle raising , states. It appears, however, that Mr. , Payne's victory was a costly one in asmueh as the house conferees were defeated on coal, print paper. Iron ore and lumber. Although new oaths of secrecy were taken by every member of the confer ence committee before the session was adjourned, it is well understood that the foregoing rates represent the un derstanding that has been reached on all of the subjects which engaged ex ecutive attention during the last few weeks. As the house passed the bill coal was j made dutiable at 07 cents a ton, with , slack at the same rate, but reciprocal provision had the effect of putting coal I on the free list. The senate contended I for a duty on coal, and a compromise ! on 45 cents a ton was accepted in lieu of the house rates nnd tho free recip rocal arrangement. Slack was made dutiable at 15 cents a ton. The house put iron ore on the free list, and the senate fixed the rate at 25 cents a ton, but the conferees agreed to accept a rate of 15 cents. The chief victory won by the senate was the retention of Its duties on lum ber. These represent reductions from Dingley rates, but are not nearly as low as the house rates, which began with $1 on rough lumber. Likewise a victory was won by the senate through the acceptance by the conference com mittee of a rate of $3.50 a ton on print paper Instead of tho 52 rate fixed by the house. The placing of oil upon the free list was a foregone conclusion by reason of the strong opposition In both branches of congress to making this article dutiable. The senate adopted a form of countervailing duty, but the conferees were unable to retain It la the bill. Thero teems to be no doubt today that the house leaders will be able to put through a rule permitting tho con ferees to make reductions In the rates on manufactures of leather In accord ance with tho program arranged In conference. If there la any danger of the pro gram falling the trouble Is In the sen ate.

Text: "Nov all these things are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." I. Corinthians, x., 11. If greater opportunities bring great er responsibilities, then those that are resting upon us to-day are certainly tremendous. The progress of tho ages has been cumulative and has raised this age until it stands as the highest peak of civilization, the keystone of all the ages, the very crown Jewel in the diadem of Time. Therefore, "these things are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." Why is It that such warning and admonition is necessary now? Re cause In this "end of the age," In this twentieth century of privilege and de velopment, there is so much more in volved. It means more to lose a jew el than a jackknife. It means more to wreck a transatlantic liner than a fishing smnck. It means more, in finitely more, to waste and wreck a life fraught with such tremendous pos sibilities than to waste and wreck a mere existence. Therefore the ad monition which is sounded in upon every soul. This warning and admonition is also especially necessary now because in this age of opportunity and develop ment we can do so much more than ever was possible before. When God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt Moses began to excuse himself because of Inefficiency, but God said, "What fs In thine hand?" And Mose3 looked, and behold, it was a shep herd's rod. Not a very great weapon of offence or defence, but with that potent rod lie wrought all those mar vellous signs and wonders and at last delivered Israel from her bondage. What is in thine hand, man of tho world, to-day? A business opportun ity, a social power, a moral obligation, a loader's ability, a skilled workman's tools all tho possibilities of a trained hand or eyo or intellect Make an in ventory of your equipment and then toll mo how you arc using It. What is in thine hand, business man? It is a bank book, one of the mightiest weapons for good or evil that is in tho world to-day. How are you using it? What is in thine hand, man of the world? Look closely again, for behold, it is a ballot! Remember then and I say it advisedly and reverent ly that next to the Hible tho ballot Is the most powerful instrument for working righteousness in tho whole land to-day. What is in thine hand, aye, what is In thine arms, womanhood of to-day? A child's dear form? Ah, then, let mo say yours Is the greatest power after all. Over that life you reign supreme. To you it will go for guidance; to you it will look for ideals. See to it, motherhood of to-day, that those ideals are pure and true, grand and noblo, and then you may be sure of It that the manhood of to-morrow will be better than that of to-day. We need also to heed the warning and admonitions of the past and of the Word of God, because even the little that we do now will count for so much more than ever before. Every deed that we do now has the weight of all the ages behind it. All the ex perience, all tho developments of tho past tell on our efforts now and multi ply them a thousandfold. Don't say that you can't do anything. Don't be trying to frighten yourself by asking what Is the biggest thing you can do, and then excusing yourself by saying, "I can't do anything big.' Ask your self rather the question, "What Is tho least thing I can do?" and starting with that let the big things take care of themselves. Stand Like a Tower. Be systematically heroic in little unnecessary points. Every day do something for no other reason than Its difficulty, so that, it an hour of need should come, It may find you trained to stand the test The man who has dally Inured himself to habits of concentrated attention, en ergetlc will, and self-denial in unnec essary things will stand like a tower when everything rocks around him. William James. To Attain Peace. Since work gives forgotfulness of self. It can be, and la, an antidote to pain of heart.
