WE NEED SHIPS.
The passage by the House of Rep- j
resentatives of a resolution approving ;
of Winston Spencer Churchill’s pro
posed "naval holiday” does great
credit to the hearts of the members.
To stop the building of destructive
war vessels, not merely for one year
but for all time, is a “consummation
devoutly to be wished.” But we are
not dwelling in Arcadia and the mil
lennium is not at hand. The United
States navy needs new warships and
the threat that provision may be made
for only one to be laid down this
year is most disquieting. Secretary
Daniels, in his annual report, urges
the construction of two dreadnoughts
this year, vliile the Naval Board has
g'ven good reasons why four should
be built. Two is the minimum of
our yearly requirement until our na
val establishment has been brought
up to modern standards. There is
no demand in this country for a navy
as large as Great Britain’s, but we
have tin extensive coast line to pro
tect and possessions in the Atlantic
and Pacific. Four of our present ships
of the line ought to be put out of
commission.
•The peace movement in congress is
not to be discouraged. It is a good
sign. Legislators committed to a
peace policy are likely to act fairly
in treating with foreign questions.
Such legislators w'U not be likely to
ignore the treaties our government
has made with other nations. But
we cannot expect all peoples to be
equally just and enlightened, and we
must keep ourselves prepared for de
fense. Two ships will be favored this i
session by the Naval Committees of ;
both Houses, we understand, and a j
strong effort must be made in con- |
gress to prevent a repetition of last ,
year’s fiasco.—Exchange.

Misg Sentimental-Charles, did you
ever allow your mind to pierce the se
cret of the universe, to reason tlmt this
dull, cold earth Is but the sepulcher of
ages past, that man in all his glory Is
but the soli we tread, which every
breeze wafts in an ever shifting maze,
to be found and lost in nn infinity of
particles—the dust of centuries, reunit
ed and dissolved aN long as time shall
endure?

•Stories.
Fielding Versus Fielding.
“Are you interested in Fielding?”
said the Smith girl to her suitor. She
was reading English novels froth a
critic’s point of view. lie was on the
team at college. Baseball was his ma
jor study. And he answered her at
random, never pausing for a cue. “It’s
all right,” he stammered bravely, “and
we couldn't do without It. It’s a thaig
of great importance. I’ll agree with
you In that. But, though Fielding
may he splendid, yet you onn’t depend
upon it, for a team amounts to nothing
without good men at the bat."—Judge.
Lived on Autographs.
Autograph hunting sometimes proves
a profitable pursuit. A Frenchman of
the last century, Ludovlc Picard, made
it steady income out of It for some
years. Ills most successful coup was
accomplished with a letter In which
he posed as “one of the unappreciated
who is meditating suicide and seeks
for counsel and aid in this hour of
sore distress.” This effusion drew a
number of celebrities, Including Bent ti
ger and Heine. Lncoivlaire sent ton
closely written pages, which were
promptly converted into cash. Dick
ens also fell o victim and took the
trouble to answer in Freuch. Even
tually Picard was shown up and had to
seek another occupation.
A Troublesome Tower.
Site was a good servant, was Jen
nie, and Mrs. Wanderfarr never wish
ed for better. But in the matter of
pictures Jennie was weak. There was
one in particular, which showed the
leaning tower of Pisa. Every day Mrs.
\V. hung it straight, and every min
ing Jennie put ** crooked.
So Mrs. W. watched.
“Xow, look here, Jennie,” she said,
“you've hung that picture of the to-> or
crooked again! Just look at it!”
"That's just what I say, mum.' ui
turned the domestic dolefully; “look at
it. The only way you can't get that
silly tower to hang straight Is to Icing
the picture crooked.”—Exchange.
Out of Her Head.
The class was studying the division
of decimals. The teacher had taught
her pupils that when they had a
sum in division it is sometimes m*e
essary to add ciphers on the right
of the decimal point to carry the proc
ess out far enough. The little girl at
the hoard wished to divide 20 by 55.
and she did not know how to pro -cod.
“The teacher says to put some Hold
ings after the 20." spoke up one of
the class.
"Where does the teacher get the
nothing?" asked the girl at the hoard.
"Out of her "head." spoke up the in
formant, with no thought of Hie bid
den meaning of the words.—Indian
apolis Xews.
For a “Grouch” Eat Eggs.
Fish may make yon brainy, but it's
eggs that make you amiable, at least
if we can believe the claims made i'oi
this particular article of food l>\ a
German scientist of note.
"Cranks, grouches, nervous wrecks
of ail kinds, should eat nil the eggs |
they can possibly digest,” says Pro
fessor Stiegletz. “Eggs are the best
tiling in the world for those whose ill
tempers make themselves and every
one around them uncomfortable. Tbey
sliould be soft boiled preferably and
eaten four times a day for four weeks
on a stretch. Then the diet should
be stopped and not commenced again
for four or even six weeks.”—Chicago
Tribune.
Cold Water and Prayers.
Kyoto. Japan, abounds in picturesque
temples and quaint shrines, but per
haps no more interesting or beautiful
spot will be found than a small slivilie
below the Kiyonildzudern. In the val
ley beneath this temple is the Otnwa
iio-Tnki, u smnll stream springing out
of the rocks, led through bamboo pines
and splashing on to the praying stones
in front of the shrine below, says the
Strand Magazine. On Ihese thedev.uit
kneel reverently, sometimes for thirty
or forty minutes, with cold water play
ing on their backs, supplicating the
deity of the shrine for the safety and
welfare of some beloved friend or rel
ative,
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
Think what it U not to hate any
thing b n tin, to be lull of love to
eveiy feature, to be angered at
nothing, ,o be sure that all things
will turn to good, not to mind pain
because it is our Father’s will, to
know that nothing—no, not if the j
earth was to be burned up or the j
waters come and drown us—noth
ing could pa*t us from God, who
loves us and who fills our souls with
with peace and joy, because we are
sure that whatever he wills is holy,
just and good.—George Eliot.
Herbert Jaynes and family left this
morning for Tonaina, but were com
pelled (o return to Valdez, as the
horse they were driving was not
sharp shod and as the recent winds
have swept the Keystone canyon so
bare that the horse could not stand
up, they returned to Valdez, had the
horse shod and left for Comfort this
afternoon.

methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.

saves all this trouble. It is ready for use in an instant,
v and will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,
