'ZVho, then, are the people dissatis- filnl with “McKinleyism and Dingley- ism?” Are they the manufacturers who have been enabled to start up their mills and factories? Are they the idle wage earners of a year ago who have found steady and remunera- tive work ‘9 Are they the agricultural producers for Whose products the home demand has been materially increased ‘9 Are they even the currency reformers, whose, importunate demand for‘a re— vision of the currency the President did his best to comply with? Certain- ly none of these has any good reason to be dissatisfied with the administration or with Republican policy. There is some defection undoubtedly, of spoils seekers, but this is not of very great importance. 45A». Worthy Brotherhood. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En— gineers, a labor organization that usu- ally tries to keep on good terms with employers and to secure good wages by fidelity to duty, has just. purchased a 250-acre farm in Illinois upon which to, establish. a home for disabled engin- eers and their widows and orphans. ‘ In other :words the Brotherhood of, Locomotivef'Engineers is a brotherhoOd . in its practice as well as in its name. It tries to keep its members in steady em- ployment at good wages by discouraging»w strikes and disagreements with employ- ers and to provide for those who by reason of sickness, misfortune or old age are unable to provide for themsel- ves. I . 3 If all labOr 01 ganizations would dis- courage strikes instead of fomenting them and devote theil receipts from dues to the cane and 1elief of their honestly dependant members, all labor organizations would fully justify their existence and pro’motethe comfort and prosperity of their own members and the welfare of the community. Coast Defense. 3 We have at present in the army five regiments of artillery, which had an aggregate strength at the date of ‘ the '3 last report of the Secretary of W'ar of 4,308 officers and men.

To garrison all. of these is beyond the strength of the entire army as at present constituted. The proper duty of the artillery is to man the guns of our seacoast defenses, yet for this duty it is too weak. At many of our cities the fortifications have such scanty garrisons as to make the latter not much two of O more than care-takers.

Yet, no provision has been made or can be made without the sanction of Congress for men to man hundreds of new guns or even to guard and take care of them. Considering that a modern high-power gun in position ready for service represents an invest- ment of at least $100,000, and is an ex- ceedingly delicate piece of mechanism, it is only common sense for 3the Secre- tat-y of War to ask for authority to 20 Second “ 40 Third Sunlight sou?

Hawthor'ne 5 Wife Inspired Him by an: ‘ Tact and Courage. The old saying, “Every cloud has its silver lining,” should often bring us comfort when the world appears to be frowning upon us. A rare example of this was shown by Hawthorne’s wife who proved herself to him a true “friend in need.” One wintry day he had received notice that his services would no longer be required at his office. Weary and downcast, he re- turned to his humble home. His young wife stood Waiting for him, and noticed at 'once that something was wrong.‘ He told her his troubles. Straightway the brave little woman with her own hands kindled a bright fire; fetched pen, ink, and paper, which she set be- side him; then, with a beaming face, she touched the sad man on the shoul- der and said: “Now you can write you book!” Immediately the cloud ole-sled, and things presented them- selves to Hawthorne under a ChangEd :spcct. He felt a freed man; the of- lice appeared as a cage from which “.19 had escaped. “The Scarlet Letter” yes written and proved a marvelous success, and fame rewarded Haw- -;horne and the brave little wife who Lind faced the cloud and found its.sil- wr'lining." - Too Many Rules. The teacher who gives her pupils “simple rules” outside of the authori- ties for determining questions which confront them, and particularly gram- matical questions, is apt to find that her rules disastrously fail to fit all cases. One time the county superintendent of schools was questioning the pupils of a country school. He wrote on the blackboard the sentence, “The fly has wings,” and asked a class what part of speech each word was. They passed the “the” without serious trouble. “What part of speech is ‘fly?’ ” asked the superintendent. “Adverb,” shouted all the class in unison. “What! ‘Fly’ an adverb?” “Yessir!” shouted the children with great positiveness. “What makes you think it is an adverb?" “’Cause teacher told 11s that words that end in ‘ly’ are adverbs?
