UR6EST UttlflKS OF IM PM IS MM Campaign Tributes *; Good Investments | ors to national • anipnign funds expect in return for their donations. While we nrc seeking for profitable invest ments for idle money, it would not be amiss to point out the magnificent returns on a few thousands placed in the right hands and at the ri<;ht plane during a national cam paign. The winning party would, of course, insure a goodly divi d-nd—something like ten or fifteen thousand per cent on the investmc:;, to be paid out of the well-filled pockets of the people. Glavis testified that Ballinger wanted him to hold up cer tain catas until after election as his (Glavis's) activity in -no it almost impossible to get money for the republican nation al committee, i. i., Hitchcock. Th s sheds a now light upon the nurposes which animato huge gifts to the parly during campaigns. There are many trusting souls who have always believed that tip se contributions were influenced by high motives—a de~*rc to Bee that the nation's affairs were in he hands of the right men; a gratification of the desire to give; to help the IJ party of their choice; in a word, purely philanthropic mo ” 'fives. It is safe to presume that when the woolen trust, the beef trust, the oil trust and a few other trusts give a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to the campaign fund that there was a little tariff joker or a tariff clause coming to them that ” would eventually make the people pay a fine dividend on ’ the contribution for not less than four years and not more than eternity. These things have been charged before but there have al ways been enough patriots on hand to explain away ihe base suspicions in the mind of the average low-browed voter. But Mr. Glavis is felling some facts before the committee at Washington that are so signifiean* that the ।ountrv at large cannot help bnt take notice. ' There has been a belief in many sections that the Ballinger Investigation was to be a whitewash of the seerctarv of flic interior no matter what evidence might be offered. It will ! be mighty hard, however, for any member of the committee if much more evidence of this character : s produced, to get out in the spotlight and say that Mr. Ballinger is without blame. The eyes of the nation arc fastened upon the little row that Mr. Pinchot stirred up and there is -. demand that । the probe go to the very bottom. + Word comes from Boston that Win packing trust does not I take the beef boycott very seriously and that their nstrne tions to managers advise that said managers to .-void panic, keep up the prices and “ gel every c, m p<»ide."

The suffering and misery that exists cannot be told in words, yet the volatile From - spirit is manifest in the disaster of today as it was during the bloody revolutions that wiped out kings and nobles ami obliterated the empire. A short time ago one of the leading women of the French capital set a date lor n reception before there was any Innmw tion of the present disaster, she had invited to her salon Hi. leading nun and women in all walks of life—diplomats, au thors, ministers, professional men and women, but when the night of the entertainment came, Paris was stricken.

The letter was written by a woman whose silvery hair and faltering step belie the splendid youth that dwells within her heart and mind. Every reader of mature years will un derstand and value this letter. We trust that it will im press its truth upon the thoughts of many younger readers who may have confused ideas concerning the meaning of love that is real, of love that is eternal. Here is the let ter: “Is it not a beautiful thing to look back on 50 years of love t “That which was in the dewy dawn: the song of bird;, the bloom of violet; the day when we two kissed and Eden was created auew. “That sweetened long vears of toil; that made the failed cheek of mother fairest still of all the world to the gray tuired husband-lover; through whose ministry hearts nev er crew cold, nor hands too hardened to be tender. “That winch is still with us at our eventide; hi the shadows that lie in the valley; in the last bird eall to its mat,-: flint sits besides us at the hearthstone in the gloain- ; : ng. when we talk of the children ‘awn’ and the ‘load of ! the h it' such n little way beyond. “Which will be still with m?w!ien the ‘lights are out?; i when the Ir.si good-night is spoken; when one of ns must ; watch while the other ‘sleep.’ “Thank Gel for the love Hint was never ashamed; that was strong, am; tender, and true; steadfast in sunshine , end sh.

The result of investigations here and abroad, which have just been mad public here, show thut electricity is far mpciior to any of the drugs now used to produce analgesia. The liscio ।rv is expected by prominent snrgotns to revo lutionize modery surgery. Electricity as an am sHu tie has no -bad < 'fects on the heart. It produces u form of insensi bility by acting on tjio nerve centers of the bruin, called “electric sleep." When the circuit is opened the influence oi the anesthetic is immediately lost and the patient beeoms conscious without feeling any of the aft r effects common to ether and chloroform.

Two city mission workers passing , through tho foreign settlement in the MeKes Kocks district met a reporter and a newspaper photographer. Near j by was a bouse the squalor of which was striking. It was determined to take a picture of the place. The mis tress of the house was standing in tin* doorway, and when she saw the photographer set his' camera she ran in, slamming the door after her. The elder missionary, who speaks a dozen different languages and dialects, volun teered to coax the woman to stand for a photograph. When he rapped on the door she came out and he started to address her. He began in Polish, but she shook her head. He then tried in succession Magyard, Lithuanian, Rus sian, Bohemian, Hebrew, Greek, French. German and others, it was of no use; the woman kept shak ing her head that she did not uuder stjfnd. “It is no use,” he said to the three standing at the gate. “1 have exhaust ed all my languages, but she does not understand any of them.” “I’ll?.try her,” said the other mie- he went to the woman. In a moment she was laughing and nod ding her head that it was all right. When the picture had been taken the missionary who had failed asked him in what language he had spoken to her. “English,” was the reply. RUNNING “ON TIME.” “It is a common snying among rail road executives that they can make all sorts of rules about running trains, but that they have to put a man in, the bushes besides Hie track to see that thev are obeyed,” writes Thaddeus 3. Day ton, in the issue of Harper’s Week ly for January 22. The article de sribes how “every railroad in America is striving after the—thus far —unat- tainable; to have all of its passenger trains always on time. ‘Among every one hundred men who become firemen, only seventeen are ever made en gineers,’ ” quotes the author. “ ‘Out of every one hundred engineers only six ever get passenger runs. The next time you sec a white-haired man on the i-ab of a big passenger locomotive don’t wonder at all at his white hair, bnj make up your mind that he has tho goods or he wouldn't be there. It is u case of the selection of the survival of the fittest. It takes nerve to run Hie l(Bt trains these days, and if any one of a dozen people, down to tl*e man who spiked the rails, has made a mistake, vou ride to certain death? ” PROVED HE WAS A FIGHTER.
