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! The Jedge sent Lawyer
Limberjaw ter Jail fur contempt jest
Imreause he d rawed out n flask an'

Pcadshot Dave Yer don't say! An'

Arizona Sam Why, yes. Ye -pee, he

Ancient Article.
"Waiter." shouted the irate guest,
what kind of a steak do you call this?"
"That is a rare steak, sir," replied
fact, a very rare steak."
"II'iu! A rare antique, oh? Why ;
don't you present it to some museum ';" j
Couldn't De Both.
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

His Reward.
Senator Dollivcr. discussing certalu
tariff propositions with a Washington
correspondent last month, said:
"Those propositions would pay a

" '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.

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. Senator Aldrtch has talked with
a number of the western senators, and
tome of them still oppose putting bides
For a
r-
Theme:
OPPORTUNITY AND
RESPONSIBILITY
By Rev. William Carter, D. D.
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. The very routine and
drudgery of dally work have often
saved a life from despair. Adherence
to duty is a way to attain some meas
ure of peaco. Hugh Black.
Sweet Enveloping Thought.
He that finds God a sweet envelop
lng thought to him nover counts his
company. When I sit In that pres
enco, who shall dare to come In!
Emerson.
Preach the Truth.
If God bad wanted men to prop up
truth He would havo told them; Ha
only commanded them to preach It,

The world will come to the King
dom through kingly living la th
