Show More than a billion dollars is hidden under carpets car-pets in this country, says John WanamakerA which opinion may accord with his experience, but not with that of the man who has the taking up and beating to do. When times get too hard, one can join the army and thus relieve- the serious lack of recruits which came with prosperity. A movement has been started to have the reunion re-union of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1910 held in Atlanta, Ga. The men who wore the gray promise as warm welcome for the boys in blue as they received some forty odd years ago, only of a more friendly and genial quality of warmth. A New York messenger boy found a bundle of paper money of large denominations. Because he couldn't buy a package of cigarettes Nvith a $500 bill, he returned the money to the owner. Cigarettes, Cigar-ettes, it seems, like everything else, have gone up slightly in price. The new gold coins do not bear the legend'In God We Trust," but in spite oi that Americans will no doubt continue to trust in the Deity. Catholics should remember when brought into contact with Jewish people that Jews were the founders of their church and treat them with all the friendship and consideration possible. Many of the Roman pontiffs in bygone times protected the Hebrews from the bigoted persecutions of European Eu-ropean governments and we in this century should . 1 not do less. They deserve it.

After all, the bluffer makes a good politician if he can keep the people from calling him. Speculation with other people's money is vrr.r profitable until the peculators get caught. It is not a decree of the Catholic church thnt publishing a Sunday newspaper is a crime, most ot the work being done on Saturday night, but very often there is news published which it would b better unprinted. It might also be stated thai there are thousands of books in public libraries no" i even fit for libertines to read, not to mention grow- ing boys and girls, but these are ineradicable evib that belong to the world, the flesh and the devil, j and will be with us until the crack of doom. Japanese correspondents of the American pa- ? perl are very negligent. Not one has mentioned how two little jinrickshamen carted the sturdy and distinguished American about the city of Toki to see the sights.

Never have we seen such I iconoclastic doctrine propounded. The idea that l road supervisor should keep the roads in repair w jj preposterous. Why, if such a doctrine were 4 erally adopted and all office holders were indicted r for. loafing on their jobs, all the limited cash cap' ital of the country would be required for bail moo- ? ey, or the jails of the nation would have to be materially ma-terially enlarged.
