Ten million dollars Is what (lie Eu¬
ropean countries spend each year on
their army manruvres. When the
world comes to realize how wicked
waste Is it will not take long to abolish
wars, armies and all their train of
expenses.
No people have ever loved money so
much ns Americans—not for hoarding
but for spending. No people have ever
celebrated it so much or held In com¬

With consistency n great soul has
simply nothing to do. says Ralph Wal¬
do Emerson. Speak wlmt you think

words again, though it contradict ev¬

The best way to banish your troubles
frern your mlml Is to take an Interest
in something quite different—music,
poetry or painting, for Instance—and to
devote your whole mind to It, not giv¬
ing your worries a moment's thought,
concludes Dr. John Knott.
Tho people can find a remedy from
nil the evils from whjeh they suffer tn
the enforcement of the law, declares
Governor Folk, of Missouri. They

is absolute. ■k
And work, again, is a weariful strug¬
gle, alike dreaded and delighted In by
tliose lofty ami powerful natures who
ore often broken by it. A great poet
of our day has said. In speaking of
this overwhelming labor, “I sit down
to It In despair, but I leave it with ro>
gret," quotes Honors de Balzac.
Every man must hear ills own bin
den, and it is u fine thing to see any¬
one trying to do It manfully, carrying
Ills cross bravely, silently, patiently,

that lie has taken for his pattern the
greatest of nil sufferers, concludes that
great American, Alexander Hamilton.
European government*, recognizing
the awful trade in human life which
goes on iu all the large cities, are be¬
ginning to take measures to protect
young women everywhere, and see to
It that they do not travel to foreign
lam's without proper escort and a
knowledge of ihelr destination, states
the Christian Register.
In eleven months 988 foreign iito
uioUilts, valued at nearly S4.000.ixt0,
have been Irapbrtedat New York alone,
states the Philadelphia Bulletin. And
in the meantime dozens of American
factories have been turning out those
vehicles In nearly all shapes and sizes.
The evidence is steadily increasing that
motor ears must be counted as a per¬
manent factor in Americas daily life

GOT A BIG
Southern Ports Show Up Well
as to Export Trade.
FIGURESONBREADSTUFFS
Value of Grain Shipped Out of Gulf
and South Atlantic Ports Showed
Increase of 66 Per Cent
Over Last Year.
That southern ports are Increasing
their importance as exporters of
breadstuff* is shown in the latest is¬
sue of the Manufacturers' Record
(Baltimore), which says:
“During the twelve months of the
past calenoar year, the value of
breadstuff exports from this country
increased over that of the preceding
3 ear from 192,211,812 to 1146,110,962,
or by $53,799,150, equal to »8 per
tent.
The increase at leading southern
ports was from $30,015,517 la 1904,
to $50,949,696 in 1905, or by $20,034,-
179, equal to 66 per cent.
“Six southern ports — Baltimore,
Newport News, Norfolk Portsmouth,
Galveston, Mobile and New Orleans—
exported more than a third of the
total exports, and the increase in
tnlue of their exports was more than
37 per cent of the increase at, all
ports.
“The trend of this traffic, toward the
gulf ports Increasing now for a num¬
ber of years is destined to become
stronger still. The twelve months late¬
ly ended has teen the completion of
a new line of railroad down the val¬
ley of the Mississippi after several
years of shrewd and diligent engi¬
neering.
"Not far west of this another sys¬
tem is building the first section of
a hundred miles or so of a road that
Is eventually to reach the gulf. Still
another route has Just been finished
to make an easy connection from
points on and near the lower Missouri
river across country to the Mississippi
valley, following an existing line of
tho same system to reach New Or¬
leans.
"A fourth company Is by piecemeal
bulTding a road that is soon destined
to enter New Orleans, while the con¬
tract was lately awarded for a fifth
enterprise which will build links to
connect up several railroads for the
purpose of making a New Orleans
and Denver through lino. A sixth plan
Is that of another large system to get
into the Louisiana metropolis by
means of a lino which at present
seems to be no more than a lumber
railroad.
“On tho Atlantic side of the moun¬
tain ranges three new lines are now
under construction to give coal routes
to the const. One of these is from
fuel regions In West Virginia, another
is from the Kentucky and Southwest¬
ern Virginia fields, and the third Is
to extend out of the Birmingham dls
trict of Alabama.
"Other roads are tn prospect, and,
beside, one Important line in West
Virginia has only lately been finished,
a road which through Its Intimate con¬
nections will reach tide at Baltimore.
"There is another traffic movement
which further efforts arc being made
to accommodate, It is that of road
from Kentucky. West Virginia and
Virginia to the great lakes, and two
or three plans for lines northward
from nature's great store houses of
fuel in those three states will prob¬
ably be realized In a few years by
actual construction of new coal roads.”

REVOLT AGAIN FAILS.
"Reds” in 8t. Petersburg and Mo»
cow Admit Second Defeat Owing
to Lack of Public Sympathy.
A St. Petersburg dispatch, undor
date of December »1, says: The coun¬
cil of workmen met secretly Saturday
night, and after an eight hour ses¬
sion, at 2 o’clock Sunday morning
adopted a resolution to call off the
strike, "because the fight of the peo
pie against the government can no
longer be limited to the disorganiza¬
tion of the economic 11/e of the na¬
tion through the universal strike, and
is already In many parts of the coun¬
try taking on the character of an
armed uprising.”
“The council of workmen's depu¬
ties,” the resolution concludes, "de¬
cides to proceed immediately with
warlike operations and the organi¬
zation of an armed uprising.”
The government claims that the at
ternpt at an armed rebellion has-fail
ed signally. In a semi-official com¬
munication It declares the movement
has been broken and within a few
weeks it will be definitely crushed.
If, attributes the defeat of the “Reds"
not only to the force It employed, but
to a lack of public sympathy.
Advices from Moscow state that
white flags flying from a dozen fac¬
tories in the tenement house district,
where the revolutionaries made their
last stand, now bear mute witness to
the end of the “December uprising
In Moscow." The entire district Is
oow occupied by troops.
During Saturday night the vast ma¬
jority of the members of the “fight
Ing legions” either surrendered, or
after throwing away their arms, en¬
deavored to escape in the guise of
peaceful citizens. Ouly the members
who acted as a guard to the revolu
tlonary committee stuck to their eol
ors and the surrender of this handful
Sunday morning furnished the last
act of the sanguinary drama.

TEARS OF TILLMAN
Flowed in Defense of Woman
Ejected from White House.
DENOUNCES PRESIDENT
Sensational Speech Delivered by South
Carolinian on Floor of Senate.
Protests Made by Senators
Hale and Daniel.
A Washington special says: Scath¬
ing in its bitterness of invective to
a degree that called forth the open
charge that he was airing a personal
grievance against and venting his
personal spleen upon the chief execu
tive of the nation, the speech in the
senate of Senator Tillman was the
sensation of the day at Washington,
Wednesday.
Beginning with the discussion of
President Roosevelt’s SaBto Domingo
policy, Senator Tillman led up to the
brutal ejection of Mrs. Minor Morris
from the White house, and so extreme
were some of his references to the
president for his Inaction with regard
to the Mrs. Morris affair that not only
Senator Hale, but Senator Daniel felt
called upon to interrupt that he might
enter protest against, such a d'seus
sion in the senate.
The South Carolina senator wielded
his pitchfork with old time vigor. He
was bitter without transcending tho
bounds of legislative propriety, scath¬
ing without resorting to unparliamen¬
tary language, dramatic in his man¬
ner of utterance, logical in bis method
of leading from one phase of his sub¬
ject to another until lie reached a
climax in the Mrs. Morns case, and
he kept his temper throughout in the
face ot interruptions, that earlier in
his congressional career would have
provoked angry outbursts of pas
sion.
With the exception of an occasional
outburst of laughter over some of the
couth Carolinian's terms, there was no
demonstration. Senators followed him
intently. The interruption of Sena¬
tors Hale and Daniel did not break the
trend of Ills argument.
During much of the time republl
can senators set with smiles on their
f ce» : s It enjoying it all. When he
concluded everybody expected some
republican senator 10 rise in the pres
ldent's defense, but not a voice was
heard. The tension was relieved oy
Senator Hale, who cleared the gal¬
leries with a motion to go Into execu¬
tive session.
The speech abounded In Mr. Till¬
man's peculiar expressions, and was
characteriz'd by many severe and ox
cept (V.aily persi ual thrusts at th3
president At times he wept over

The introduction ot this revolution
railed out a protest from Mr. Daniel,
while Mr. Halo objected to the pro
i natation of the matter at all. except
upon proof. Mr. Tillman declared his
.-urination not to ho guided by
their advice and closed with the re
iteration of his determination to bring
ui tho resolution.

Washington dispatch says. ere .
A
echo of Wednesday’s stormy
was an _j Thursday, when

Mr. Tillman presented his resolution j
directing a senatorial investigation j
into the removal of Mrs. Minor Mor

brief statement, in which be said

was fol
Mr. Tillman’s resolution was as
lows: president of
“Resolved, That the
the senate be authorized to appoint
committee of five senators to in
a inch
vestigate the recent unfortunate
dent at the white house resulting in
the expulsion from the executive ot
flees of Mrs. Minor Morris, and re¬
nort to the senate."
He then said that the question at
issue involves two vital propositions.
The first of those relate:! to the pro¬
tection of the president from danger
oils characters, and the second the
protection of the rights of the people.
He declared that to absolutely pro
lect the president would bo to make
him a prisoner. He proceeded to say
that in case of the removal of the
president he would be replaced, and
probably with a better man. But
when the liberties of the people are
destroyed, nothing is left but despot
ism.
"That, is the whole subject," he
added, as he took his seat.
