If you have made up your mind to live in a town, then stand up for it, and if you know positively no good, then silence is golden. Do all you can to help along every man who is engaged in legitimate business. Do not send away for everything nice you want-and still expect the home man to keep a stock to suit the whim of one or two customers. The suc cess of your fellow townsmen will bo your success. No man liveth to himself and no man does busi ness independently of his fellow business men. Take-your home paper. Do not imagine the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many little crevices of a good cheer, social sunshine, personal mention, in the home paper that the big dailies do not print. Then do not abuse your neighbor. The main difference in the number of his faults and your own is that you see through a magnifying glass as a critic. The ill omend, the croaker, can do a town more harm in a minute than two good citizens can repair in a month. The Standard Laconic.

The explosion of a boiler tube on the Armored Cruiser Tennes see, witlithe result of killing four men, mortally wounding two, and seriously injuring eight others, has revived talk of the charges tiled in 1900, against the Shelby Tube Company, in which it was alleged that that concerne had furnished defective boiler tubes for our war ships. The Tennes see was one of the ships in which the Shelby Company tubes were placed. Either that Company or somegovernment inspector seems to be guilty; for the tube which has just burst was certainly de fective. Three men were indict ted and tried on these charges last year; but the jury disagreed. It is to be hoped that the cases will now be reopened and a thorough legal investigation had. A """fleet of war" sh'.-i filled with cheap and defective boiler tubes is more of a curse than an asset, tnd if we have such a fleet, the Navy department and the Presi dent are responsible for they had full notice of the rotten boiler tubes and have evidently taicen no measures to replaoo them with sound tubes. Miller. ! PROTECTION DOES NOT PRO TECT. The deluded workmen for the Steel Trust are between the devil and the deep blue sea. They are supposed to be protected by the same tariff that protects the trusts, but as Trust high prices and the Republican policy of pro tection has produced a panic and consequent business depression more than half of the trust work men have foundthemselves unem ployed so far this yoar. If in or der to induce buyers the trust re duces the price of its products, it is pretty sure to reduce wages also, which would be an acknow ledgement that protection does not protect the workingman. lut idle workmen will surely come to believe that the boasted Republi can pi'osperity is a fraud when they do not participate. Miller. This is whut Hon. Jake Mooro, State Warden of Georyia, says of Kodol For Dyspepsia: "K G. DeWitt tf; Co., Chicago, 111.- Dear Sirs I have suf fered more than twenty years from in digestion.

A writer in the Lon don'Chronicle says: "The dream comes in the few seconds before the awakening, and has no rela tion to time or space. This is clear enough to the man who has ever been placed under an anes thetic for a short eliminated. As an experiment this writer was placed under a whiff of chloro form by a doctor. Absolute un consciousness, the questions of the universe; up through- layers of consciousness, with always the feeling. 'Now I have solved it' and the 'no' and the 'yes' alter nating through centuries of thought. Aud then the quizzical face of the doctor remembered after a million ye'ars. How long have I been under?' The experi menter struggled up, and saw the doctor with his watch in hand." "Ten seconds,' the. doctor said: And the dreamer had been outside time for a time that has no measure. " Chicago News.

Annie Warner has a pathetic little child-story, "The Surrend ers of Cornwallis," that one can not read without a heart-throb; and Harrison Rhodes contributes a fascinating society yarn, "The Arrival of , Cornelia." There is, too, a dramatic and powerful tale of the North Pole region in Albert White Vorse's sAory, "There Brother's Keepers.' Charles B. Going, Burges Johnson, Thomas S. Jones, Jr., and Sue Fite Ramsey contribute verses; "A Row of Books" is by J. B. Kerfoot, and the "Chestnut Tree" has a wealth of luscious anecdotes.

Beeler, the State geologist of Wyoming, who was in Kansas City last night. - "There is a population of 16,000 in Cheyenne, but being a very compact town it has not needed street cars. As for pavements, nature provides them. There is a gravel that washes down from the mountains and overspreads the thoroughfares, making an ex cellent roadbed. Over this there forms a fine white dust. It is sometimes annoying, so I am in vestigating Kansas City's system of oiling boulevards." Kansas City Star. $100 Reward, $100.

The London Times says it has spread to parts of the world where not long ago it was unknown. It avers that the free miner in our Western States will accept a tip for show ing one around a placer camp, and evidently expects it. In Egypt and Turkey the word ;tip" is displacing "backsheesh," while in England the size of the tip has been steadily increasing for years. At a good restaurant now you are expected to give up 15 to 20 per cent, of your bill for the tip. "Anything less causes the waiter to cast on you that look which .the boldest flinch from." The London Spectator thinks that statement explains the increase of the tip a kind of Hnoral blackmailing which the average man has not the strength to resist. But the main point is that tip ping is not merely an injustice to the customer, but that excessive tipping and. it is almost all ex cessive now cannot avoid the law of economics by which it de strops itself. That is. as tips in creases in size, wages are put down correspondingly, so that really this continued fleecing of the public benefits at the last only the manager, who in due progress may expect to have all the wages of his establishment paid thus, and more than this, convert tips into a source of revenue. Indeed. It has long been the case where the "pay waiter," the one that collects the money where tipping prevails, pays for his place a premium proportioned to the es tablishment's grade of custom. But it is not merely in the question of meat and drink that the tip obtrudes. It follows everywhere. In English country houses, says the Spectator, where a week-end visilor formerly counted on a pound as satisfying all demands, everybody now must have sovereigns, and five times the old amount hardly gets a guest free the guest of a pri vate house. An aneedoteof the situation is that a week-end guest offered a head gamekeeper two sovereigns, when the man, draw ing himself up, said: "This is a paper house, sir," meaning that nothing less than a five-pound note (the lowest En glish paper denomination) would be accepted. The conclusion or progress of the matter seems to be this: The custom cannot be eradicated. It must be endured Therefore, those that pay are coming to an unwritten un derstanding of a scale of prices for different services. And this undoubtedly is the solution. The gratuity or graf or tip has so long now corrupted good man mers and dull the sense independ ence that it may be accepted as a permanency so much added to everything that you pay for in certain services and situa tions. The next and inevitable thing is a well-recognized rate reaching to every contingency. This is the working of the eco nomic law. One might reflect on the pity of it all, the destruction that it is of manliness, independ ence, good manners, but to what end? It seems to be the way of the world. If those that serve insist on tips the served will in evitably insist on a recognized rate, and so servility will have its mark and stamp in the mar ket. Foi really those that pay eatmot forever live in moral fear and be increasingly bled by those that accept their money as a gift. Indianapolis Ne-w. Was in Poor Health for Years, Ira W. Keltoy, of Mansfield, Pa., (vriteg; ! was in poor health for two years, suffering from 'Sidney and blad der trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit, but was cures, by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testimony that it may be the canse of restoringJthe health of others."

" TheBritish Premier announces that Great Britain is now paying off her debt at the rate of nearly $100,000,000 a year, and' that at the end of this year it will be re duced to the sum of twenty years ago, notwithstanding the cost of the Boer war. -It is necessary ff or a nation to make regular pay ments on its debts during times of ordinary prosperity, or to ac cumulate a sinking fund, in order to maintain its credit to the high est point. The sinking fund of the United States, and the pay ments on the public debt after the Civil War, at once raised the value of our securities, and put our national credit on a firm basis. The fact that a nation is paying its debt gives confidence, even to those who want only the interest. A nation that reduces its debt in times of prosperity, can usually borrow without question in time of war or adversity. Our national debt, however, has been so far reduced that our credit is estab lished beyond question, and the United States will never have any trouble in borrowing money. Nevertheless, it is desirable to reduce the national debt with rapidity in good years. Our national income fluctuates great ly, because of the sudden changes in the volume of imports, and we need not worry if we run behind for two or three years at a time. But we ought to show a substan tial reduction of the national debt every ten years. It would be allowable to increase our debt on account of the Panama Canal, or for an extensive improvement of waterways, and forest re serves, and reservoirs to prevent floods. Herald and Presbyter.

Rural Carriers are required to give some attention in the future to their personal appearance, and keep themselves and equipment m harmony with "Uncle Sam." Postmaster General Meyey re cently issued the following order: Postmasters of rural delivery offices will inform all carriers un der their suvervision that they are required to present a neat appearance personally, that the vehicles used must bo suited to the service, kept in good order and presentable, that the animals used by the carriers in serving their route must be fit to work and such as do not cast discredit on the service. Laxity in these matters by the rural carriers will be immediately reported by post masters. Red Springs Citizen, One of the most hopeful signs for many years, and one that is making the Republicans set up and take notice, is that the Dem ocratic party is showing a unity that has been lacking for the past few campaigns. This means trouble for the enemy and they know it. It is a foregone con clusion that Mr. Bryan will be nominated and that such a plat form will be adopted as will meet the approval of the masses of the great common people. This is giving the Republicans great con cern, for in Taft they realize that they have a mere figure-head; one who has pledged himself to carry out Roosevelt's aggressiveness. When thrown on his own respon sibilities he will be unequal to the emergency. It is also a well known fact that it would have been impossible for Taft to have secured the nomination but for the wielding of the Roose velt big stick. All these things have tendency to cause uneasi ness in-the camp of the enemy. South Hill Enterprise. Just Exactly Sight.
