THE NATIONAL SIN,
— e —
Extravagance, Public and DPrivate,
America’'s Worst Menace,
‘A few nights ago I sat with a party
of men-—one an upstate banker, two
New York merchants, one of them
head of a great corporation whose
product enters into the manufacture
of a dozen or 'more leading staples
used in nearly every home, and the
other engaged In a large way with in
ternational trading, the fourth gen
tleman, a Miterary man of recognized
attainmenits, and the last other than
myself, a C;::lltlclan of naitonal repute
myself, i politician of national repute
posae;zlfr of a large fortune acquired
principally by making shrewd invest
menté and as a result of advanced in
favthation respecting Wall Street op
/’eratlons.
The topie, entirely by chance, was
the extravagance of the present age,
and the consensus of the opinion ex
pressed and assented to by all was to
the effect that National, State and
municipal governments rush into en
gagements involving in execution vast
sums of money raised and to be raised
through the only available source,
taxation of the people, and many
times larger than the known wealth
of the country or the probable en
durance of the people's prosperity
warrants. The people, inherently
committed to woeful waste and prodi
gality according to their means in
personal expenditures, are blind to
proper realization of the meaning of
these stupendous budgets. They are
too much absorbed in their own pur
suits to give attention, even could
many of them do so understandingly,
to the direction aflcirs are taking.
The multiplicity and duplication of
‘public offices and the incumbents
‘thereof, many of whom are in charge
of vast expenditure of public funds
are in the hands of men who never
have made and never could make
commercial success in business ven
tures of any description. They look
on while grafc, direct and indirect,
runs riot with the people’s money.
Conteruplation of the foregoing pie
ture is not pleasant. Is it too grossly
painted ?-—Communication in New
York Sun,
WISE WORDS, @ = |
Religion is not something to get
and keep, but to have and use.
As a usual thing the woman who
speaks plainly looks that way,
It is better to have begun and quit
than never to have begun at all,
Pride sometimes goes before a fall,
but it nearly-always follows a rise.
The lazy man’s idea of brains is
that they are a defense against work.
Do not fight the devil with fire.
Get him into the parlor and freeze
him to death. -
As a general thing, the public
never recognizes a genius until he
begins to make money.
About the hardest work a woman
has to do in this world is to look as
young as she says she is,
It isn’t absolutely necessary for a
schoolboy to love his teacher, but
after honesty it is the best policy.
One of the hardest things in this
world for an heiress to do is to lose
her money and keep her husband.
A husband is a person who is will
ing to forego romance if it interferes
with the resting of his feet on the
furniture.
The kind of people who think they
are too old to learn never acquired a
great deal of learning even when they
were young.
The price of broomcorn has gone
so high it is cheaper for the average
housewife to wipe up the floor with
her husband,
Even after the millennium dawns
it is doubtful if a man’s wife will be
able to buy a hat that suits her at
a price that suits him.
The head of the house may as well
make up his mind at once that if only
one member of the family can wear
good clothes it isn’t he.
When a girl is a peach, it is a sign
that she hasn’t reached a ripe old age.
One of the strangest things in this
world is why a self-made man so sel
dom wants his son to be one.
The pastor of a prominent North
ern church has forbidden the girls in
the choir to wear rats in their hair,
and the girls are now charging that
he has bats in his belfry.—From
“Snap Shots,” in the Dallas News,.

: Bells Silent For Years,
On the wall in the immediate rear
of the Collector of the Port’s desk in
the Custom House in Savannah are
three electric push buttons, placed
there fifteen years ago for the conve
nience of the Collector in calling his
assistants at the other end of the
building. The three assistants have
always during this time been white
men. John H. Deveaux, colored, was
Collector of the Port for twelve years,
He never touched one of these but
tons. The three bells bear silent wit
ness to the discretion, deference and
regard for the proprieties which were
characteristic of the man.—Savannah

SORE EYES CURED.
Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly
Inflamed — Was Unable to Go
About—Alll Treatments Failed—
Cuticura Proved Successful.
“About two years ago my eyes got in
such a condition that I was unable to go
about. They ‘were terribly inflamed, both
the balls and lids. I tried home remedies
without relief. Then I decided to go to our
family physician, but he didn’t help them.
Then I tried two more of our most promi
nent physicians, but my eyes grew contin
ually worse. At this time a friend of mine
advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and
after using it about one week my eyes were
considerably improved and in two weeks
they were almost well. They have never
given me any trouble since and I am now
sixty-five years old. I shall never fail to
praise Cuticura. G. B. Halsey, Mouth of
Wilson, Va., Apr. 4, 1908.”

The German Koli Works have talked Potash and its bene

You know how hard it was to buy and get Potash, Things
have changed. The mines are now producing enough to enabfie
us to offer
m carload lots of twenty tons, to local dealers without interfering with the
requirements of those to whom we have sold Potash to be used in mixed
goods., We have, therefore, established a Selling Agency in Daltimore, Md.,
and in 1910 will scll all potash salts i carload lots for cash direot
