If you happen to spend an evening
to an English business town you can
not fall to be surprised at the almost :
complete solitude that surrounds you. 3

town that you may have seen In the
afternoon swarming with such nunv,

Intense a life, la now deserted.- K i
To Its previous animation has suc
ceeded a strange calm. It Is as thousta
you walked In a city of the dead.
It is because every evening after six
o'clock work la over In the English
town; the complex machinery of the!
Immense labor organisation stops. j
- The factory and the office, their J
doors open wide, cast Into the street
their world of liberated workers. By
crowded tramways, by crowded pave-,
ments, the town disgorges Itself. Each
ne clerks, workmen, workgirla, of
fice boys, bankers and merchants '
with the same haste to regain his
dwelling, leaves behind him the gloomy
town where he labored, where be
rove as in the lists. It Is an immense 1

daily exodus, of the English toward
tneir '-home."
What, then, is It, this home of which
the English constantly speak, the
thought of which touches their heart,
whose memory dims their eyes, that
enfolds all the happiness of their life?
It la home, a place in which to for
get the aggravations of the world, in
which to be with one's dear ones,
one's pets and one's lares and penates

4 v. ) Shaw's Life Principle.
Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa, formerly ,
secretary of the treasury, has a story
on , tap to fit almoBt every situation
that presents itself. He was gov- j
ernor of Iowa when President Roose-1
velt invited him to become a member
of his cabinet. He went to Washing
ton in response to a summons from
the White House. While Mr, Shaw's ,
appointment ha(d been rumored, it had (
not been announced officially, and a
persistent rumor was In circulation to
the effect that be would not accept the
cabinet offer. Several correspondents I
waited on Mr. Shaw at his hotel to
learn hla intentions regarding the mat
ter. ; -
"When I was a boy." he said, "I
started off one day. on a fishing trip
with another boy. We had a long
tramp to the Ashing place, and as the
weather was warm we got very thirsty,
and coming to a farmhouse my com
panion suggested that we stop and get
a drink of water. The lady, of the
house not only gave us a drink out of
a nice tin dipper, but Insisted upon
our taking some pie. Bill, my com
panion, took a large piece, but from
diffidence or something, I declined.
Bill looked at me with amazement
'Lea,' he said, 'always- help yourself to
pie wnen it is ; passing.' Tbat was
pretty sound advice, and I have acted
on that principle ever since." Wash

Like a glimpse of the southland- was
a little scene on lower Seventh avenue
one morning this week, Bays the New
ork Globe. On fche pavement direct
ly in iront or tne entrance to a poor
.tenement sat a negro boy not more
than five years old. Bare-headed and
bare-footed, clad only In two ragged
' garments, he squatted, like a tailor,
his ebony face alight with apprecia
tion as he munched a bit of fiwit.
Close beside him on the sidewalk
was an old soap box. In the soap box
was an ebony baby of 18 months, clad
in a single - garment and equally
happy In aa endeavor to swallow
share of the fruit. The soap Vox- was
a substitute for an anattainable baby

What
representative's Care That Informa
tion Should Not Be Garbled.
Representative Tn'oraas of . North
Carolina is a sure-enough southern
suieoiuan. He Is the type. ; He em
.bOfliejTit; is It; lives jt And having
made thja flat, unequivocal statement,
I ul pretty certain that about 17 other
southern statesmen will quit speaking
to me. says a writer in the Washing
ten Star. : .
Air. Thomas la a legislator. He legis
lates, in his sleep. Never does he slip a
cog and relax the strain under which
he labors. To him 111
e.is one awfully
serious grunt,
T'other day, or maybe 'twas t'other
week, Mr. Thomas telephoned up to
the press gallery that he desired to
see the representative of the Evening
Star; as he had a piece of Important
new, t0 lmpart for pubIlcatloil. Tni,
was a bit out of the ordinary, for us
ually when a southern statesman has
anything to Impart In the line of per
sonal publicity he comes around with
the goods and delivers with much
back-slapping , and rib-tickling and
teem.
But, anyhow, I chased down to see
Mr. Thomas, full of anticipation and
news instinct, and sent in for him. In
the course of a quarter of an hour or
so he came out, placed his hand upon
1 my shoulder In a patronizing manner
and smiled seriously upon me.
"Young mant" he inquired, "you are,
I take it, the Star representative
here?" . -
I admitted it.
"You are their regular man?"
, "Yes.". '
"The reason I ask," continued Mr.
Thomas, "is merely that I continually
have trouble with unreliable members
of your profession. For there are many
unreliable ones, are there not?"
I pleaded guilty,, being plumb
crushed. . " . . ,
"So in order to get this item of.
news just right," continued , .Mf,
Thomas, "I have had It written from
my dictation. You assure me that It
will not be changed?"
"Oh, yes," I whispered, in deep de
jection. ' . -
"You may add to this if you wish,"
continued the light of the North Caro
lina delegation, "some of my leading
achievements both here and at home.
Take this and pray see that it is pub
lished to-day." .
When I got up in the gallery again I
unfolded the slip of paper which .Mr.
Thomas had handed to me. And this
was the Item of news It contained:
"Mrs. Thomas wife Hon. Charlea
Randolph Thomas, representative in
congress from the Third district of
North Carolina, and who has been in
the house since the Fifty-sixth con
gress, has returned to Washington
from a visit to her folks." .

The genuine old Washington cab

He sits sldeswise la his little open
carriage, one leg half the time hang
ing over the side, devoting himself
enthusiastically to his passengers and
their edification. ' ' "
He considers It a moMl obligation
to know the answer to every question
that anybody's fertile imagination can
suggest, and . he disseminates more
misinformation In an hour's drive than
will be corrected la a lifetime.
During the D. A. R. convention one
of these omniscient Jehus was pilot

reference one of -the women spoke of

Last Moments of Great Musician,
A letter written by Count Grzy
mala, who was an ardent admirer of
Chopin, haa been made public in Lon
don by Eduard Zeldenrust. - In it the
last moments of Chopin are thus re
ferred to: "A few hours before he
died he asked Mme. Potocka to sing
some melodies by Rossini and Bellini,
and this she did with sobs In her
voice. Listening to her voice he
passed away," Speaking of the fu
nenu tne writer says: "Mozart s re
quiem and his own' funeral march
were performed with the assistance of
Lablacbe, Viardot and the concert so
ciety. It was characteristic of the
times that the artists should have
asked 2,000 francs for this last trib
ute to Chopin. One would have
thought that pride would have kept
them from selling their gifta on such
an occasion."
The Types of Cats.
There are a number of classes of
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary and based
on tne color of the fur. The most
beautiful of all the Persians 18 the
pure white. .They are, however, very
hard to keep clean, and a dirty white
cat Is certainly anything but an orna
ment about one's rooms. It la unfor-
tonate that many white cats are deaf,
so when one Is making a purchase of
a cat that color it Is a wise precau
tion to test the hearing. Another fail
ing which white cats have, in common
with all light colored cats, la that their
constitutions are not so vigorous as
those of the dark haired cats.' Su-

MORPHINE
CURE
There are a large number of treat
ments and so-called cures beinu ad-
veatised, but they are only substitutes.
as they contain morphine, opium, co-
a l' i a. It. m .
cam and other injurous habit-torming
drugs, and such treatments never
cure, ,
MANINE is the only remedy or
medicine in the whole wide world to
day that positively will cure that di
seased condition of the nerve system
caused bv the use of morphine, lau
danum or opium. The new discovery
MANINE is not a substitute, but is an
honest remedy and a cure, and does
not contain any morehine, opium, co
caine or other injurious habit-forming
drug.
Mr. James Cain, Adams Station.
Miss., says: "I used moaphine for
fifteen years, tried a large numbea of
treatments which proved to be worth
less, was completely discouraged and
did not believe there was any hope
or me for I was 58 years old and , tn
very feeble health. I tried that new
iscovery, or cure, called MANINE.
and it cured me and I have been cur-
d now for more than a year, and I
know from experience that MANINE
is an honest remedy, and I ' cheerfully
recommend it to those who are slaves
to morphine, laudanum or cpiufti."

Mr. J S. Vinson, Dexter, Ga., says:
