It is wasteful economy to try to get along without a
pocket book or purse. Pockets can easil'y leak as much as
a money holder will cost, and they often leak more. A
good pocket book or purse does not cost a great deal if
you get it here. It lasts along time and is a source of sav

JVe have all sorts of pocket books. Can suit you

What It Costs to Be Honest
[Dulutli Herald.]
Mark Hanna would not permit At
torney General Monnett of Ohio to re
ceive a renominatlon by the republican
party for the oflice he now holda, be
cause he endeavored to have the laws
against trusts executed. If Mr. Mon
nett had been content to let the truBtB
alone, as President McKInley and his
attorney general have done, he would
have been renominated by the Ohio
republican convention. But.the Stand
ard Oil Company demanded that he
should be deposed, and as Ilanna
wanted a large donation from the
Standard Oil trust, for the McKinley
campaign fund, he readily agreed to
crowd Monnett off the ticket.
The Home of Joan of Arc.
Just beyond the church is the Joan of
Are cottage, an ugly building which haB
no charm in itself or in its surroundigs,
says Clifton Johnson in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly for October. It looks
more like a big Bhed than anything else
for the roof all slants one way from
very high wall at the front to a very
low one at the base. The inside is kept
as a museum, and it has all a museum's
blankness and Btiffness, with no sug
gestion of its ever having been occupied
as a home. The old garden at the rear,
with its narrow paths and little plots of
(lowers and vegetables, happily has
about it a real touch of humility, and
you can fancy it is not unlike what it
was in Joan's day, and the mind easily
calls up the scene in those twilight
hours long ago when the bells of the
near church rang and the voices spoke
to the humble shepherd maiden. Hut
leave the garden and return to the front
of the houBe, and the illusion vanishes.
There you find modern ornamental
shrubs and a small park enclosed by a
high iron fence. Visitors are coming
and going much of the time. The spot
draws to itself pilgrims from all over
France and indeed from all over
the world for Joan of Arc is not a
French heroine alone, she belongs to
the whole human race. All nations
honor her, and none render her homage
more heartily than the £nglish, her an
cient foes.
Mr. Roosevelt, in his letter of accept
ance, and he has Bince repeated tbe
statement many times, said: "The
parallel between what Jefferson did
with Louisiana and what is now being
done in the Philippines Is exact." The
conditions surrounding the arquieiticn
of Louisiana are so different from
those prevailing in the Philippines that
naou||lgnwould any
one be brazen enuu^ff'M
they are similar, much less
If the Philippines were an unoccupied,
contiguous territory If there were vast
BolitudeB
for our people to settle in,
and
if
the future held the certainty of
admission into the sisterhood of states
if it were solemnly announced in regard
to the Philippines, as it was announced
concerning Louisiana in the case of
Shiveley VB. liowlby, that "the title and
dominion passed to the United States
for the benefit of the whole people and In
trust for the several states to be ultim
ately created out of the territory if
auy or all of these conditions and prom
ises were existent as to the Philippines,
then It might be claimed there was sim
ilarity. But no one dares suggest that
Luzon, and Mindinao, and the Sulus
are to become states of the American
Union. The declared policy is that the
Philippine archipelago, in whole
and in part, shall be held as vas
sal provinces, as Spain held them, with
the civil, political and economic status
of tbe inhabitants thereof fixed by the
will of our central government In which
they are to have no determining voice.
Tbe administration does not intend to
treat the Filipinos as the Louisianans
were treated. Let impudent attempts
-to pervert history cease.—Des Moines

Facts of Interest about Income Taxes
No wiser or fairer tax than the in
come tax was ever devised by man.
England's Prime Minister, l'itt, laid
Ihe first income tax upon tbe realm in
1798, and Bve years later it had been
hammered into a shape that rendered it
popular, practically the same shape in
which it is levied in the liritish Empire
to-day. The tax was imposed as a war
tax until the close of the Napoleonic
wars, when It was discontinued. It
was revived by Sir Iiobert Peel, in 1842,
"partly to provide for a deScit in the
budget, and partly to enable him to
make certain reductions and- reforms
in the complicated system of protective
tariff duties." Natufplly, the tax has
been the object.of criticism by statesmen
taxpayers and financiers, but it has
stood the test of a hundred years, and
although it has always been regarded
as a temporary tax, requiring annual re
newal by act of Parliament, it IB believed
to be firmly grafted upon the British
revenue system.

In tbe year 1898-99 the tax yielded
$90,000,000. The'general principle of
progtesslon Is not embodied in the law,
but it derives recognition in the taxa
tion of incomes less than 33,500, In con
sequence of certain abatements and ex
emptions. For instance, incomes of 8750
are altogether exempt from'taxation.
On incomes of from $750 to 82,000 an
abatement of 8800 is allowed. On in
comes of 92,000 to 82,500 an abatement
of $750 Is allowed $2,500 to $3000, an
abatement of $G00 $3,000 to $3,500, an
abatement of $350. As a consequence
of these abatements and exemptions,
tax of 8d. to the pound is graduated on
incomes below 7001b ($3,500) by an easy
progression, ranging from complete ex
emption on incomes below $750 to an
amount equivalent to a tax of 3 1-3 per
:ent. on the total Income, where the in
come is above $3,500. The English
taxpayer looks upon a tax as so mucn
reduction of his personal income. While
he pays it ungrudgingly, he wants to
know exactly how it expended. His
method of being taxed makes him a
abetter guardian of publlo expendi
tures than the. American taxpayer.—

MANCHESTER, IOWA,
The Rising of Labor.
Ry KIli Wheeler Wilcox,
I hoar lu the Autumn voices
Of winds a jubilant tone,
For the heart of the world rejoices
That Labor shall claim Its own.
It has lain In the dust for ages,
Ry the feet of Might downlrod, "[Alackf]
And the world stood back and 6ighed
But this Is the Will of God.
Ho has put Ills curse on labor,
It suffers for Adam's sin."
Hut Truth, like tho stroUo of a sabre,
nasletthesuollghtin.
1
Hho has cut down the creed made curtain
And shown us the true God's face.
And It Is not dark with hatred's mark,
Rut fair with love's own gtneo.
He is not the God of classes,
lie is not tho Cod of gold.
But lio Is tlia God of tho masses,
Who toll in the hoat and the cold.
And unto the heart of Labor,
Desolate, sick and numb, "Arise!]
He speaks from the skies and he says.
For the day and the hour have come.
And o-if of Its man inado prison,..
Out of the dark and the dust,
Has labor at last arisen.
And It crios to Might, "Bo Just!.'
It wastes no word and no gesture
In the calmness of truth it stands.
It pleaded too long at tho ear of wrong
Unheard—end now It commands.
Oh, heart of Labor, korp steady,
Aud stand for tho r'ghts you needl
For the world was never so ready
To pray for tho fall of greed.
Tho waves of our prayers, like billows.
Shall boar your hopes r.n our crost,
And oarry you out of tho narrows of doubt
And into tho harbor of rest.
Rape For Sheep.
Experience has shown so far that a
crop of rape is indispensable as a wind
up of the season of green feeding. It
supplies every needed element for the
finishing of the summer feedFhg of tbe
flock and preparation for the dry feed
ing of the winter, and indeed through
the winter, wherever the drifting BDOW
will not cover it too deeply for the
sheep to get at it by pawing off the
snow. We must not think that this is
too great a hardship. The English
shepherds feed it, as well as turnips,
through the winter, and we have seen,
the finest of the flocks in England
wading knee deep in the mud to bite
out the turnips to the shell or to nip
oil the still green rape. Rape Is es
sentially a turnip without a bulb root
It is the principal member of the turnip
tribe of plants, which are called rapae
by the botanists, in accordance with
the rules of botany. Thus the rape
plant 1B the head of the cabbage and
supplies precisely
elements of nui
flesh and fleece of the sheep.—?

Land of Butter Ilakera.
It is an odd and interesting fact that
Denmark, the butter making country
of the world, bought from the United
States last' year 35,000,000 pounds of
oleo oil, with which to make oleomar
garine, and that tbe Danish farmers
aDd
butter makers use oleomargarine
on their tables. C. Pay, of Copen
hagen, is in the business of importing
oleo. He came to Kansas City, says
Tbe Star, to see the packing houses and
to make business arrangements. The
butter of Denmark is known for its ex
cellence throughout Europe. The Dan
ish creameries have learned the scien
tiilc way of making the beBt butter, and
the Danish government has passed laws
to insure its purity. England alone
last year imported $44,000,000 worth of
butter from Denmark, and yet-the Dan
ish farmers spread oleomargarine on
their bread. Tbe reason is simply the
frugality of the DaniBh butter makers.
Their best butter is worth 40 cents a
pound. Oleo can be bought for about
15 cents a pound. Therefore, when
ever a Danish family eats a pound of
oleo it makes 25 cents.
Sheep on Farms.
There are not much Bhortof 30,000,000
sheep in England and Scotland, and the
area of the wholo island of Great Britain,
which is made up of these two coun
tries, is about the same as that of the
state of New York, says a correspon
dent of the Sheep Breeder. All these
sheep are kept on farms. Many of
them are purchased late in the summer
from the specially pastoral districts
where the mountains afford feeding to
many llocks which are bred and reared
tfor the express purpose of supplying
the farmers with sheep to be fed on tbe
the turnip cropB grown for thlB use
The consumption of tbe roots finishes
tke sheep for market as muttons, and
covering the land with manure left by
tbe
Bbeep
fits it for a crop of wheat
following. The feeding of the Bheep is
Incidental merely as far as the farmers
are concerned, but the habit has been
so popular for the reason that it haB
been a permanent incident in tbe cul
ture and enrichment ot the Boil and has
enabled tbe farmers to grow crops BO
profitably by the help of Ihe sheep that
the sheep have been called the rent pay
ers—that Is, they have returned a profit
to the farmer in this way equal to about
825 an acre.
Kiehness of Milk.
When there is a near prospect of a
pretty high standard for milk being es
tablished, it ts of some interest to leain
the conclusions reached bearing on the
question a9 to some of the factors de
termining tbe richness of milk by O.
D. Smith, after five years' study, acd
noted in the proceedings of the Society
For Promoting Agricultural Science.
Tbe conclusions in question are:
First.—A cow yields as rich milk as
a heifer as she will aB a mature cow.
Second.—Tbe milk is BB rich In the
first month of the period of lactation
as it will be later, except perhaps dur
ing the laBt few weeks of the milk flow,
when the oow Is rapidly drying off.
Third.—Then li little difference in
e:*r.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1900.
Fejsona aato the quality of the milk.
While the cows are at pasture the milk
fa neither richer ncr poorer, on the
average, than the milk yielded when
the cows were on winter feed.
Fourth.—The milk of a fair sized
dairy herd varies little in composition
from day to day, and radical variations
in this respect should be viewed with
suspicion.
.Practical men might do worse than
study these conclusions and express
their opinions thereupon. We would
draw'attentlononourpart to the con
clusion regarding Bameness in quality
of wioter fed and pastured milk,

Loug years ago, when the architect
who planned the interior of the room
saw his dream realized, when the
painters and decorators had complet
ed tlielr labors and visitors were al
lowed to gnze upon Its magnificence, it
was declared to be the finest room in
the country. Men and women of na
tional nnd international fame have
danced upon tho marble floors where
today ..stand prosaic counters and
desks. The pretty gallery in which sat
the famously beautiful women of those
days, where society gossiped and belles
and beaus carried on flirtations, Is still
retained. But It is empty, and no one,
unless It be the spirits of those who
once adorned the room, looks down up
on the small army of employees who
handle $262,000,000 each year before
It Is distributed throughout the United
States.
This famous room of the treasury de
partment has been used for this pur
pose for a number of years. The grow
ing demands of tho department made
this necessary, but the place has not
lost reputation even if it has becomo
one of the government's workshops.
The marble room of the treasury de
partment Is known far and wide and
Is a feature of interest to visitors on a
tour of Inspection of the building. The
Interlifc.. is constructed of marble
brought from sunny Italy, from France
and from Vermont.
The discovery of the faces and fig
ures on4he marble was made by Mes
senger W. R. Elliott. One day, while
seated In front ot the square, he was
startled by the lines of ulternate black
and white forming the figure ot the old
Quakeress. A full side view of the old
woman Is shown. The traditional poke
bonnet Is pictured, a shawl covers the
slightly drooped shoulders, aud the
hands are folded complacently In front
of the body. It needs no steady gaze
to bring out the picture. It is as per
fect as though drawn by a master
hand.
The face of Queen Victoria is also
remarkably true to life. It requires
no effort of Imagination to draw out
the contour of her face. Only the pro
file and a small portion of the shoul
ders are displayed. The face of Queen
Victoria ou tho marble has given the
officials no end of amusement. Several
years ago, while a number of young
English women who had visited this
country for the purpose of attending
Christian Eudcnvor convention were
being tnken through the treasury de
partment, they were shown the face of
their beloved queen. Tliey were great
ly nmazod at the likeness, and^many
exclamations of love nnd veneration
were expressed. While admiring the
queer designing of nature one of llie
young women declared that the Eng
lish government should purchase the
marble square.
The picture of the French soldier is
shown In the lower right hand corner
of the square. The figure Is half life
size and Is lu profile, like the other two.
The shoulders are thrown back Just as
they are drawn by fnmons French
military artists. Nothing could be
more truly drawn than the round cap
which is set half over the left ear.
There arc other faces and figures to be
found on the square. Dogs, birds and
countless grotesquo figures can easily
bo traced by following the lines.—

fSnsiaaARa'ftoy Choir*.
Julian Italpli* writing of "Tbe Choir
Boys of England," in The Ladles'
Home Journal, says: "Small boys are
much preferred, for tbe reason thai
they develop Into manhood later thau
big, stalwart children, for it is at the
coining of manhood tluit their voices
break and they are obliged to stop
singing until their adult tones are
reached—a matter of years. A boyish
treble is as delicate as the bloom ou
a peach, and Its possessor must lead an
orderly and innocent life, which Is why
so many choirs are made up of boys
taken from their homes and boarded
and taught in church institutions.
These, sometimes, are able to sing un
til they are 17 or 18 years of age,
though between 14 and 16 is the usual
