HOW TSIEY GET THE BUNS.
Morris Brown, crippled urchin of
New York city, smashed the window
of a baker's shop and was arrested.
. Morris, who Is fourteen years old,
was sent by his mother to buy buns.
At the shop he met another boy who
was on a like errand. Morris saw
that the other boy got one more bun
for his money, whereupon be protest
ed. There was a debate with the
baker, and Morris was thrown out,
pursued by the baker's dog.
xue smasuea winaow was the se
quel.
"De udder kid, he got more buns 'n
me and got more sugar on his buns,"
was the pica Morris made to the Judge.
Which was a good plea.
The newspaper account does not give
the outcome of the matter, but the In
cident and the boy's plea are sug
gestive.
The boy voiced the American plea of
a "square deal." It Is not fair that
one boy or one citizen should get more
buns and more sugar on his buns than
another.
One of the pressing problems Is the
equitable distribution of wealth.
W say the American idea is that of
"equal rights for all, special privileges
to none," and yet we know that cer
tain special interests have been given
undue advantages. These Interests
have hnd more buns and more sugar
on their buns than they are entitled to.
Therefore the righteous protests of
the Morris Browns,
When the little cripple's case was
called In the police court the baker
was represented by a paid attorney, but
Morris had to depend on the mercy of
the court
And here also the analogy holds.
The special Interests that secure spe
cial privileges extra buns are repre
sented In the courts by high priced
lawyers. The people elect young at
torneys who are just beginning to prac
tice, and pay them a small salary to
prosecute the rich criminals. Is it any
wonder the latter get away with the
buns?
That is why If a man steals a loaf of
bread to keep the woman he loves
from starving hie goes to the peniten
tiary, while the banker who steals a
million and robs widows and orphans
gets off scot free. Eminent attorneys
find technicalities, and the rich man
gets away with the sugar covered
buns.
The case of the baker ngalnst Mor
ris Brown'ls a typical one. If yot
will think over the Incidents .and the
plea of the young citizen you will dls
cover one cause of the "social un
rest."
It is because of the buns.
ESSENTIALS OF A HONE.
What arethe three essentials of '
home 7
There are many essentials, but If you
were shut up to just three things whal
would you select?
A woman's club of Chicago debated
that question for half a day and reach
ed no conclusion.
One woman held that the three es
sentials are a good temper, a good
mother and the wife in charge of the
finances, which raised the Scriptural
question as to who Is the head of the
house. The majority appeared to think
that Paul's Idea of the husband's su
premacy is out of date. Some held
that husband and wife are Joint sover
eigns and that the family revenues
should be divided. '
Another of the women held that the
ossentlnls are "a good mother, a good
cook and a trained uurse." ThIs left
the man entirely out of the question
Either he was not regarded as abso
lutely essenlial or he was taken for
granted. And It was suggested that a
woman might be a good mother, cook
and nurse and at the same time a very
poor wife.
One woman timidly hinted at a good
husband as one essential, but not much
attention was paid to her contribution.
Late in the afternoon a minister hap
pened in. ' He was asked his opinion.
He replied, "A man, a woman and a
cook stove."
Whereat the women applauded the
rather cute solution and ended the de
bate. i Evidently It did not occur to them
that a man, a woman and a cook stove
might be the essentials of a home, but
that they might also be the essentials
of a dive.
One of the Chicago newspapers took
up the discussion and asked for con
tributions. Many answers were given
and the one that was finally adopted
as the best was this: "A man, a wo
man and a buby."
But this answer Is open to the ob
jection mentioned to the reply of the
minister.
It seems to us the solution Is simple,
and It Is strange so many people should
have missed It Narrowed down to the
absolute factors, the three essentials
of a home are:
A husband, a wife and LOVE.
Is It not so?
The surly boo'f is In hard lines In
these days. We are learning that to
look at the world through smiling eyes
not only sweetens life and brings sat
isfaction, but that It pays.
The rewards of life come to the op
timist It pays to smile. It pays in health,
In spirits, In absence of friction. It
pays in lives made brighter. It pays
In dollars and cents.
Therefore hold hp your chin and
smile.
Don't be stingy In stretching your
mouth. If you play miser that way
you cheat only yourself.
It is dllhcult to Appraise a smile at
Its highest.. It is an intangible thing.
So Is the light an Intangible thing,
but it lighteus a world. So Is heat,
but It warms the world. So is love,
but It redeems the world.
A home without a smile Is no home.
Smiles are as necessary In a house as
sunshine or air or warmth. They cost
nothing. They are worth everything.
Smile!
Start the smile down In your dia
phragm and let it creep up into the cor
ners of that drooping mouth and wrig
gle up Into the corners of those luster
less eyes. Smile! . It pays.
IT PAYS TO SMILE.
I could learn to love you
When you smile, smile, smile.
Popular Ballad.
This Is the smile age. ' " '
It Is the new dispensation the dis
pensation of optimism.
Take a look at the portraits of our
statesmen of the past They are near
ly all of oub type stern of feature,
square cut as to mouth, dignified as to
pose. vou will scarcely find the glim
mer of a smile on their faces.
It Is different nowadays.
Smile pictures are popular.
Note the pictures of Theodore Roose
velt. His well knowu visage is all
broken up and mellowed with smiles.
The picture shows either the good na
tured grin or the teeth,' revealing
spread of face. The bulldog counte
nance of the president is broken Into
ripples like a pond into which a stone
has been cast.
And the face of William J. Bryan in
picture! He is a smiler of the most
expansive width a width as broad as
his countenance is wide. It Is a con
tagious smile and is characteristic of
the man.
It is significant that Mr. Taft Is called
"Smiling Bill" and his running mate
"Sunny Jim."
The people seem to prefer the man
who smiles.
We are a nation of smllerg. The
frownera are. of the pnlg.ua minority.
CLEVELAND'S GOLDEN RULE.
In Cleveland, O., a man Is treated as
If he were a human being even though
he gets drunk.
Elsewhere the man who lapses into
liquor Is treated as If he were a brute.
In Cleveland the procedure of the
ages has been changed. Men may get
drunk and even disturb the peace and
still be treated as men. They are
seldom arrested. And If arrested they
are treated as citizens.
In Cleveland Intoxicated persons are
taken or sent home, .just as they would
be tnken care of if they were ill. They
ARE 111. If confined a1, all. It is for
the purpose of protecting their ll?e
nd property until they recover.
What a stride that Is in the direction
of humanltarlaulsm!
There Is no dragging of "culprits'
Into police court unless a distinct crlm
has been committed. And even In thf
latter case a waiver of trial may b
signed without appearance In court.
Figure the saving to the city alone-
time of the court and Its attaches, wit
ness fees, wear and tear of court ma
chinery and dollars paid to shyster law
yers for "defense."
In other cities men who go wronj
are not encouraged to reform. Thej
are discouraged, maltreated a cours
of treatment that MAKES HABIT
UAL CRIMINALS.
What is the result of the Cleveland
regime?
Statistics show that there is less
crime to the population than In any
other city of the world and constantly
decreasing.
This Is true:
The criminal system of this countrj
is more than a hundred years behind
the times, and the historian whe
writes of the first part of the twen
tleth century will blister the page thai
tells of our present barbarism.
What right has society to abuse ano
Incarcerate the unfortunate victim oi
drink?
We license the saloon keeper to make
him drunk, ne Is weak. He is men
tally and physically diseased. In mosl
instances HE CANNOT HELP GET
TING DRUNK. Then we, in the per
son of a policeman, hit him over the
bead with a club and drag him to a
vile jail. Could more inhumane treat
ment be Invented?
We have made practically no ad
vance In the PREVENTION of crime
In so far as our criminal procedure it
concerned, in a hundred years.' We
know nothing but PUNISHMENT.
The city of Cleveland has qu)t the
methods of the Old Testament the
old, old system that came in with the
beginning of civilization,--- and bae
adopted the methods and spirit of the
New Testament.
Cleveland is practicing the Golden
Rule.
THIRTY YEARS IN HADES.
There Is a bell.
No doubt about that
Charles Ilerzog of South Dakota
demonstrated its existence. He suf
fered its pangs for thirty years. He
so testified in writing and sealed the
testimony by his death.
Tortured beyond endurance by re
morse because he had murdered a
beautiful girl and allowed an Innocent
man to be hanged for the crime, Iler
zog, after thirty years, wrote this note
to bis employer:
EXPENSIVE TEA.
When my lifeless body Is found
notify my mother, Mrs. Caroline
Herzog of Olrard, O. It will reveal
my Identity and the awful georet
of my wretched life. I can endure 1
it no longer.
"THE AWFUL SECRET OF MY
WRETCHED LIFE."
Cau you understand the significance
of such a confession? Certainly not
But It may give you some Insight Into
the awful agony of a human soul suf
fering the torraentB of the damned.
No less agony could extort such a cry
from human lips.
All of which proves again the eternal
verities of the moral world, "The soul
that sinneth It shall die."
"I CAN ENDURE IT NO LONGER."
What exquisite mental torture, what
a world of heart suffering, is bound up
in that feeling we know as remorse!
This man literally lived and suffered
for thirty years IN HELL.
It is not necessary that we should
be told that he was morose and
gloomy, going about as If some grief
burdened his soul this man who car
ried about always on bis conscience
the murder of a girl and the death of
an innocent tramp upon whom be
charged the murder.
Doubtless bis frame of mind is de
scribed by the words that Milton puts
into the month of his Satan:
"Which way I turn Is hell. MYSELF
AM HELL."
A man cau get away from the so
ciety of other men, but be cannot get
away from the society of himself ei
ther In time or eternity.
Jonathan Edwards In his widest
reach of imagining and with his ei-
baustless vocabulary could scarcely pic
ture a bell of literal fire and brim
stone that would transcend the story of
the suffering of Charles Heraog, who
writhed for three long decades In the
hades of a navor ceajdns ramara.
The Famous Golden Tip and the Way
It Is Obtained.
The tea looked like golden floss silk,
like shredded golden satin, like the
fluff of dandelions dyed gold. "And Is
this tea?" said the reporter.
"This," the tea merchant answered,
"Is the best tea In the world, and It Is
worth $90 or more a pound, for this,
sir, is the famous Golden Tip. I'll tell
you why it Is so costly.
"Every chest of the best dollar and
a half tea contains some handfuls of
undeveloped leaves of small, gold tip
ped leaves called Flowery Pekoe. Sort
out from a chest these leaves: wrap
them, a handful at a time, In a square
of satin; shake the satin lightly; empty
the leaves back into the chest Cling
ing to the satin remain a few golden
shreds, a golden fluff, a golden lint.
You brush It off carefully into a Jar.
You cull more bandfuls of undeveloped
leaves from another chest, and, shak
ing them up in the satin, you are again
rewarded with some more golden fluff.
"That is Golden Tip, and by the time
you have obtained In this tedious man
ner a pound of it it Is no wonder that
the exquisite product Is worth $00, or
$100, is it?" He shook the tea about
in its Satsuma Jar. The fluffy golden
stuff shimmered like satin. "Only em
perors drink It," be said. "A cup costs
more than a bottle of champagne."

CAPE COD.
A Nomadic Pieca of Land That Is Con
stantly Changing.
Capo Cod itself Is sand and, like ev
erything of a desert nature, is nomadic.
Like the Arab, It Is always silently
stealing away, so that the appearance
of the peninsula constantly changes.
The prevailing winds In the winter be
ing from the north, the sand is blown
south; in summer It Is blown t'other
way. But, the winter winds ""being
stronger, the land is gradually work
ing south. Monomoy, at the lower end
used to be an island, Its extremity be
ing called Cape -Malabar, a name not
used now why ' I cannot say. This
Island of Monomoy Is rapidly growing
toward Nantucket, It having advanced
some five miles in the last fifty years.
One of the Rubes told me that his
father used to fish where the light is
now. Of course you can always strain
Rube talk and pick out about CO pet
cent sediment, but the old charts show
that the point is working south fast

Sarsaparilla.
The druggist was serving a coupl
of men with sarsaparilla.
"Did you ever stop to think wher
this delicious stuff comes from?" h
asked.
"Sassafras, isn't it?" they hazarded.
"Sassafras nothing," said the drug
gist "Sarsaparilla is made of zarzo
roots, and zarza roots come from the
Amazonas swamps of Brazil.
"Fearful swamps they are smell)
black mud, mosquitoes in millions
snakes and crabs, heat, poison, orchids

weeks at a time gathering zarza root!
for the sarsaparilla trade. The vine
runs along the ground, the roots art
located, and half of them are tnken
the remaining half being carefullj
covered with soli again, so that the;
will sprout for next year.
