Tn Justice to the trade we must con
cede that It did much to vindicate It
self against the charge of indifference
to its own interests by its immediate
n spense to the suggestion in our last
1 'lie as to advancing the wedding an
niversary di tes, making the silver
anniversary the tenth year, and the
golden, the twenty-fifth. That this
change can be quickly brought about,
there can be no doubt whatever. The
Idea appeals to all humanity, and even
the most grouchy old bachelor or
petulant old maid would lack nerve to
offer any objection to taking liberties
with tradition in this particular mat
ter. All that seems necessary i3 an
I efficient agent to push the reform,and
; the work 9hould naturally fall to the
1 jewclery trade, to whom the change
would mean millions of dollars. Pres
sure on our space in this issue pre
vents our publishing samples of the
Metiers received from the trade, but
tiie sentiments expressed by all ar<'
i very well embodied in the following
from Carl F. Walk, of Charles C.Walk
& Son, Inc., Indianapolis:
I was greatly pleased to read the ed
I itorial"\Vcdding Anniversary Reform,"
| on page 39 of your issue of October 31.
To my mind it i3 high time the dates
of the more important anniversaries
should be changed. I am most hearti
ly in favor of this question being
brought up before the next national
convention of Jewelers, and In the
mtpntime would ask you to get ex
pressions from the trade, and keep the
is^ue alive, for it is important enough,
1 believe, to be called an issue. It
would bo a wonderful help to the
jewelers, hut aside from all business
or mercenary considerations, I like the
j idea from the viewpoint of sentiment.
'Why should a man wait twenty-five]
years for the pleasure of presenting
his wife with a beautiful silver gift
n celebration of their silver wedding
anniversary. Surely the sentiment
would not be lost, while a big gain in
SPAIN REDUCES EXPENSES
AND INCREASES REVENUES
Pacific New* Garvice, Wash. Bureau.
Y.’ASHINGTON.— Expenditures have
been cut in marly all departments of
the Spanish go. jrnrm nt by royal ord r,
and the buget presented last June has
been recalled and a n \v one substitut
ed which greatly increases revenues
through indirect taxation as well as
m: kes marked reductions in govern
mtntal expenses for the coming year,
American consuls in Spain have re
ported to Washington.
| The now budget shows a surplus of
orlv $17,000,000, and rcduce.3 the ap
propriation for the war ministry by
1 uivfc than $1,000,000.
Authorization is given for the re
construction of Spain's financial and
! tax systems and for the establishment
of a national bank of commerce and
an agricultural bank.
Washington officials declare the re
duction in expenditures of Spain does
no! mean that linancial conditions in
that country are depressed, but is In
stead the rc mlt of an internal move
ment to grasp the opportunity present
ed by the war of substantially enrich
ing Spain by introducing the most
improved methods of economy nnd effi
i eii ncy in adi tinistration of tlie govern
! mcnt.

SKAGVVAY,—James Barry, a young
man of Skagway appeared at the door
of a native, Edward Manson, of that
place, and asked that he cook him and

the task of preparing the meal. The ^
native left the house for some wood

BRYANS PORTRAIT IN
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Pnciflc News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASH., P. C.—The superintendent
of government buildings several
months ago requested William Jen
nings Bryan to sit for a portrait to be
hung in the blue reception room of
the Department of State beside those
of other former secretaries of the
department. Mr. Bryan ut that time
pleaded for a delay because he was
busy campaigning in the West. Ad
vices are now, however, that the
'Croat Commoner” Is In Ifew York,
where an artist is making the portrait
It is expected to be placed in the state
department soon after the new year.

the number of years in which to enjoy
that piece of silver would be gained.
After fifteen years or even twenty
of married life a silver gift would be
even more enjoyed and looked forward [
to than at tw. nty-five years. And as'
for th< gold n anniversary, to cele
brate that at twenty five years would]
certainly bring it within the life of a
vastly larger number of people than
ever have that pleasure at the end ol
fifty years, if there might be a hesi
tation to change such an old custom
let them only call lo mind that fact ,
that the old order of most things Is 1
fast giving way to a newer. I hope
that the suggestion will be seriously
taki n up by the Jewelers of the entire
country. It is a reform that will only
add to tlie festive and joyous celebra
tions of life.
We are now planning a campaign oi
publicity through which, with the aid i
of tlie jewelers, we expect to educati
Lhe public to the m rit of the new idea, i
or to a knowledge of it, for its merit
would be readily conceded. In the
meantime we will he pleased to heat
from our readers with any suggestions
that they have as lo the* most effec
tive means of exploiting this reform.
The first step would be to present the
matter to the daily press, tlie support
of which wo have no doubt would be
readily given.- Keystone Weekly.
YOUR BEST FRIEND IN THE
ARCTIC.
lhe luilow ng vers.- by Mrs. Forrest
<.f Waiuwi'g.U . taken by permission
from the January number of the Es
knno
When you strike an empty Igloo.
«'n an Icy Arctic night,
Where there’s nothing hut an up
turned sled
And a tipsy pipe In sight,
When you've shovelled out a passage,
And dropped through on all fours,
And you’ve cautiously crept forward
'111rough the many frosty doors,
When you’re set the snow a’mclting
On the l’rimu3 stove’s blue blaze,
While you huddle close beside it
In your breath's thick foggy haze,
When you’ve had your cup of coffee
frozen meat and pilot bread.
And you pause and look -about you
for a place to lay your head,
Tis then your heart is gladdr nod
By your best friend in the North,
And with numb and reddened lingers,
On the iloor you spread it forth.
Tis the sleeping-bag unlovely
With its grimy, yellow skin,
Vnd you strip off deerskin clothing,
And you gingerly slide in.
It may not be o’ereleanly
And the hairs may crawl and prick
And the boards beneath may bruise
you,
So you’ll wish twere twice as thick,
But despite these small discomforts.
You will curl down in its fur,
And till the chill has vanished,
You will lie without demur,
Watching how the frostriine gathers
Bound the breathing hole you've left
While the cloud that dim3 your vision.
If the dense cloud of your breath.
You will listen to the rattle
Of the snow above your head,
As It strikes the arching window
Whence a feeble light is shed.
And as the chill goes from them,
And the deerskins warm you round,
You will bless your Arctic "pulchra”
For the warmth that you have found.
—Elizabeth C. Forre3t.
