It Is not likely that International diplomatic etiquette will permit such notion; but If It can be tak en, the American people will wish to have 1U government add Its Influence also.

Interest In work, tho desire to bo constantly doing, love of Industry for Its own sake or for Its re wards keep ninny restlessly busy until nnturo calls n halt, nnd tho man of ceaseless activity wears out and retires from tho active scene. Yes ; It Is "bet ter to wear out than rust out;" but n stop now nnd then for oiling up lessens both the wear and tho rust. Thero nro sports that kill and thero nro labors, too, that destroy life. The prudent mnn will sco to It thnt sufllclent time Is allotted every day nnd every year to rest nnd rntlonnl enjoyment that Is recreatlvo nnd llfe-glvlng. Stevenson wrote n gentlo sntlre, containing much shrewd wisdom, entitled "An Apology for Idlers," In which he says, among other equally good things: "Periiettinl devotion to what n mnn calls his busi ness Is only to bo sustained by perpet ual neglect of many other things. Ami It Is not by nny means certain (hat n mini's business Is the most Important thing ho has to do. To an Impartial estimate It will seem clear that many of tho wlsewt, most virtuous nnd beiietl el ill parts that nro to bo played upon the theater of life nre filled by gratui tous performers, nnd pass among the world as phases of Idleness." It Is re freshing to listen now nnd then to so distinguished nil apologist and exem plar of Idleness, Amusement Is an Im- Itortaut part of education. Itelnxatlou Is one of the mnlii duties of life. Hoc reatlou Is not wasting time, but econo mizing life. SPOKANE $ Watson Drug Co. Wholesale and Retail The most complete stock of Drue and Patent Medicines (o be found in the Inland Empire.
