There are so many little things we can do that cost little both in time and money, yet count so much in the making of the Home Beautiful. For instance, take papa's old pants: how many of you stop to think out the possibilities of using them in the home? And yet they can be used in more attractive little ways, when off papa, than you would ever dream was possible! I have one bright little friend who has utilized them in such a pretty, sweet way, by making hanging jardinieres. This she does by tying the bottom of each leg with bows of ribbon, filling the whole with sand, then planting forms at the top and hanging them up by the suspenders. This is a particularly pretty decoration for a bay window, especially if papa is a stout man, for then, of course, the contour of both the pants and the window coincide, which is always a good point in interior decoration, as all lines should be harmonious. Another pretty idea is to use them as parlor porteries. This can be done with very little work and small expense, by tacking the walstband to the upper frame of the door, and drawing a leg back to each side of the door frame and fastening it there with a cord or bright ribbon. You have no idea, girls, what a sweet effect this gives, and it is absolutely good taste for any room or hall. If they are so worn as to be fringed at the bottom, so much the better, as fringed porteries are oftentimes handsomer than when only hemmed. Red flannel underpants are especially pretty and cheerful used in this way during the winter, while all weights and colors look well at the windows during the entire year, if draped over lace curtains. Of course a great deal depends on the size and shape of your papa. If he be tall and slender one of his legs will make a long pincushion, such as are so much in vogue now for dressing table use. This can readily be done by cutting the pants leg the desired length, stuffing with sawdust, and sewing securely at both ends. When covered with a dainty bit of lace this makes the prettiest cushion imaginable—Helen S. Woodruff, in Harper's Weekly. Slaves of the Russian Passport Glaves of the Russian Passport. A peasant leaves his home to seek for work as a field laborer wherever he can find work to do, and, like every Russian, male and female, he takes his passport with him, which is quite as much a part of him as his soul is, writes E. B. Lanin. It is always a half-yearly passport, which he must renew at the end of six months, sending it home in a registered letter to an official at his native place, and including the legal fee and something over for the trouble. The time of renewal draws near; the workman gets a demand for a new passport. Through official neglect or other reason the passport falls to come in time. The honest workingman who is earning his bread in the sweat of his brow and by the practice perhaps of exceptional sobriety is trying to earn a pittance for his family, is arrested suddenly and sent home—that is, is flung into a forwarding prison, whence he emerges to join a convict party, which contain the cream of criminality, and is ground down and made to suffer hell's torments before he gets home. When he arrives he gets his passport and is a free agent, once more a loyal subject. M. Pittsun informs the government that when he visited the Markovsk prison in February, 1883, all the prisoners there were confined for passport irregularities only. A Saving. Anyhow. "When I first put in electric lights," Arthur Aull makes him. Patch say, "they told me they'd put me in a meter and I could make my bill as low as I chose, or else I could have all the light I wanted for $3 a month. I said you wouldn't catch me paying out $3 when I could save most of it by using a little care. So in the meter went. Within two weeks after it was installed everybody in the house had nervous prostration. When any one went into another room during the evening all the rest of the family yelled in chorus, 'Don't forget to turn out the lights when you come back.' When I went into the kitchen after supper I invariably knocked my shins or bumped my head hunting in the dark for the electric lamp. If anybody came in during the evening I groomed to myself, 'Up goes the light bill.' At the end of the month my light bill was $2.75. It had been an awful struggle, but we had saved a quarter."—Kansas City Star.

The next ti weve he to lo Their Lottery Ticket BY JAMES HULBURT Farmer Riley was a plain, hard working man and his wife was a plain, hard-working woman. As for Jefferson Riley, usually called "Jeff," he put on more style than the old folks, but the neighbors admitted that he was a horse to work and had sense in his head. Jeff Riley had been engaged to Farmer Jones' daughter, Sarah, for three months and all parties interested were satisfied with the match when an event happened. The Riley family received a letter from Mrs. Riley's sister in Wisconsin, saying that she was coming on a visit. Her name was Bogle, and as she was 40 years old and had never married, she properly came under the head of a spinster. The sisters had not met for years, but it was understood that Miss Bogle, who had quite an income of her own, put on more or less style. During the ensuing two weeks the parlor bedroom had its walls and ceiling whitewashed, a new pair of chinz curtains hung at the window and the legs of the stand and bureau glued on. New leather hinges were put on the front gate and the hen-house and pigen were treated to coats of white. The house was as ready as could be and the family was holding its breath when Sister Bogle finally drove up from the distant railroad station. She had been advised that if she would set a date the farmer would meet her with his ox team and farm wagon, but she had not answered. She had come in a hack instead—the first vehicle of the kind ever seen so far from town. Mrs. Riley had prepared herself for hugging and kissing and "oh, 'ch'" but there was nothing of the sort. Miss Bogle did shake hands, but in a lofty, pumphandle way and a minute later she announced that she didn't believe she could possibly stand her surroundings over two days at the outside. For the first time in his life Jeff Riley was ashamed of wearing a blue patch on the broadest part of a pair "And Jeff, Here, Has Become Jeffer-son, Jr." of gray trousers, and although he kept the said patch covered as much as he could he was made to feel that he was a poor and humble worm of the dust. It was two days before the newly-arrived relative thawed out to any extent. Perhaps this was due to dog-days, with a hot wave, and she had to thaw. Jeff was also wearing his Sunday trousers to plough corn in and perhaps that helped some. She had learned of his engagement to Miss Jones and she had also seen the young lady. She had not only seen her, but given her such a haughty glare that Sarah went home on the trot and was so agitated that she put pepper instead of cinnamon in a custard pie she baked for supper. After three or four days had passed the sister called a family council at which Jeff was present. The Riley family were then and there informed that Miss Bogle had had a man in New York hunting up her genealogy and that she had traced the Bogles back to Count D'Bogle, of France. From now on, she should write her name as above given. She had had no search made for the Rileys, but she strongly advised that they write and call it Rayle after this. She herself had called it that way to the man who drove the hack, and though he had scratched his ear and seemed puzzled, he had not asked any impertinent questions. Then Jeff got it straight in the neck. How could a Rayle, who was a direct descendant of a D'Bogle, mix himself up with such common people as the Jones? He must give Sarah Jones the cold shoulder or become a social outlaw. There must be no more hanging out at the Jones farm. Sarah had freckles. Her nose was sunburned. She had the gait of a calf. She didn't know how to retire backwards from a room. She had no soul above chickens and plugs. Such a mesalliance would cover the D'Bogle family with obloquy and forever disgrace the Rayles. At this point Jeff spoke up, to his own amazement, and said he hnd always thought it took money to put on stile and uphold a great name as it should be. He was willing enough to be a Rayle and he didn't know but that he could be led to give Sarah Jones the clammy hand, but what about the long green to maintain his position? Is brought his maiden unt to int. She could be a nt. She could be a income and she had up to see the She had bought days before the agent had not t she would draw half a million dol- enemed for three she had done so. ing as failure and divide up. The come out of its thir- mands and ride could not call themselves the D'Rayles, but, they could pass muster and avoid making slips in grammar by sitting up very stiffly and saving little or nothing Plain Farmer Riley and, his plain wife were glad to hear that their working days were over, though rather doubtful of the swell they would cut, but Jeff was enthusiastic. No more blue patches for him. No using shingle nails any more in place of buttons. No plowing corn when he could have a negro driving him around the country. He had always prided himself on his plain speaking, and didn't care much for grammar, but he would go at it and fit himself for high society within a month. As for Sarah Jones, he had asked her to marry him, but that was when he was plain Jeff Riley. Now that he had become Jefferson J. Rayle she must see that there was a difference. She would probably stand in awe of him and be glad to let him go. He went over to the Jones farm next morning to see. He made the excuse that he wanted to borrow a hoe, but sat down in the kitchen where Sarah was washing the breakfast dishes while her mother made the beds. Sarah had been plumed and humiliated by the D'Bogle's cold glare, and she was ready with a criticism. This opened the subject and gave Jeff opportunity to announce what was on his mind. As Jeff Riley, working for his father as a hired man at $16 a month and board, he loved her. As Jefferson J. Rayle, nephew of a a D'Bogle and soon to be possessed of a fortune, she must see that he could only be a brother to her. As a brother he would bring her the first cucumbers and strawberries of the season, and in case of her marriage he should certainly send her a diamond ring or a set of mink furs. It wasn't his fault that he was no longer to wear that plue patch around and grease his boots with lamphack and pork fat. He was just as humble in spirit as the day before, but he must be guided by the D'Bogle family to a certain extent. Sarah continued to wash and to wipe and to listen until he had told his story, and then she went to the stair door and called to her mother: "Say, ma, come down here a minute." "Well, what's wanted?" asked the mother as she descended. "That withered up old maid over at Jeff's house calls herself D'Bogle." "For the land's sake!" "And Jeff here has become Jefferson J." "You don't tell me!" "And the family has become Rayle instead of Riley." "Is it possible?" "And Jeff is going to be a rich man and swell around, and he wants a different wife from me." "Sarah Jones, am I awake or dreaming?" exclaimed the portly mother as she missed the chair she intended to sit down on and took the floor instead. "And Jeff is going to be a brother to me after this," announced Sarah as a wind-up. The mother rose to her feet and went over to the sink and took a dipper of water from the pail. Then she led Jeff by the ear to the door and held him there while she poured the water over his head. The next two weeks were exciting ones for the D'Bogle and the Rayle families. They did little bit make plans. The lottery ticket was inspected a hundred times over, and each time it was pronounced a sure winner, Jeff kept clear of the Jones family and wore his full Sunday suit, even to feed the hogs in, and his father and mother got down the Farmer's Almanac and read it over and over again with a view of improving their language. At length the fatal day arrived. The D'Bogle had arranged to have the list of the drawing sent her by mail. It arrived and was consulted with feverish haste and beating hearts. It was gone over and over five or six times, but her number failed to appear. When this became evident she burst into tears and retired to her hoom, while father and mother and Jeff sat and looked at each other. After a long time Jeff counted on his fingers as he said: "D'Bogle is one, dad's two, mam's three, and durny my cats I'm four! Four of the Gaul-durdest fools in America, and Sarah Jones has already picked up two new beaux!" The Biblical Way. The Rev. Minot J. Savage, well known in the world of letters, father-in-law of the Rev. Minot O. Simons, pastor of the First Unitarian church, is travelling abroad for his health, but keeps in close touch with his people here by frequent correspondence and occasional cables. The last cable message received by Dr. Simons, dated Cairo, reads, "Acts 21:15." For the information of those who have not their Testaments by them, it is well to explain that Acts 21:15 reads: "And after those days we took up our carriages and went to Jerusalem." Which was a biblical way of indicating Dr. Savage's itinerary. To the Cemetery "One sees some queer things on these long Glidden tours," said Charles B. Shanks to the Cleveland Leader, "and the queerest one that I remember was in a hamlet in Kansas. There was a post office there; also a blacksmith shop; also a church and also a cemetery. But all of these accessories of a hamlet—except the cemetery—were down in a valley out of sight. The 'burying ground' was up on the side of the highway. "As we rolled into town over awful roads we looked up into the cemetery and saw a banner stretched between the monuments. And on that banner some village patriot had printed in box car letters the words: 'Welcome Glidden Tourists.'" A Little Mixed. A little girl on Carnegie avenue doesn't know which she adores most—her father or her mother. She imitates each in turn, and sometimes she gets her imitations mixed.

"I forget the 'zact name,' frowned the child, "but I think it's 'The Connexion,' "His," "Cleveland Plain Park."

WOMAN'S WAY THE SURL Gats Quick Action Where Man Wol Have Argued for Half an Hour. A writer in the New York Globe tells of a young woman who, he believes, is not inferior to any man in the management of the affairs of life. She bought a small farm, and was busy overseeing the work on it. The other day she ordered a tele- phone installed, and the company's workmen started in. Presently the "boss" called her out to the lawn. "We can't run the wire in without damaging that tree," he said, pointing to a fine old elm near the plaza. "It can't be done." "Very well," replied the young woman smiling, "then you needn't put in the phone." and she re-entered the house. "Did the electricians go away?" asked the correspondent, who assuredly believes that a man should think twice before insisting upon his boasted mental superiority to the other sex. "No, sir. They put in the phone—and without harming the tree." "A man, now," he concludes, "would have argued a half hour over the matter." Bachelors are declared to be more liable to indigestion than married men. One reason suggested is that bachelors so often eat alone. Good company and cheerful conversation aid digestion.

NEGRO YIDDISH THEATERS AND OTHER NOTES. By Sylvester Russell. Now that the milder weather has set in the would-be managers and field of hope prospectors can look for more of an angle privilege on State street. If these managers wait for the files and mosquitoes to come before they start the fans aging it will mean a falling off of patronage in the mid-summer time. There seems to be a vacant spot somewhere in the amusement field since politics has taken up its residence in the Second Ward. There was a warm spread of covering went over us when Jack Johnson, champion pugifist and partactor, took the stand at the Edward H. Wright wigwam to let us in on a great race achievement and teach us to vote for Wright. Mr. Johnson simply meant that all actors, pool room A. B. Foremost Dramatic Critic. sharks and bar room loungers must line up to meet him face to face on election day. Champion Johnson and I, remember, are not political machine men and cannot be bought out. Jack made a fine speech and if you want to see how he looks as an actor he is appearing at the Alhambra Theater. In these days of retaliation, which some youthful actors try to impose upon the law of gospel, without conciliation, there is merit only in deliberate silence by both parties—he who has attained and they who are striving to attain by constantly entertaining the pen which is mighter than the sword, for as the heart panetth after the waterbrook so panetth the busy pen for the oh! youthful actor of little wisdom and ill-begotten grace. I sigh when I think of how Fiske University will be disgraced and how one of a team of young actors will be wasted on the delineris of his thoughtless haste and hotheaded breech of delicate deliberation. What will his college associates say when they discover in print that they mistakes in life as a young promising actor and comedy playwright have caused his heart to ache and the cold blood of his saucy tongue to curdle? It is never best for any actor, especially a youngster with a swelled head, to cultivate the ire of an historian who has long received the respect of abler and more successful men in the same line of business. Such a step is not only hurtful and an injustice to his devoted partner, but brings pain to his relatives and friends as well and to himself certain disaster from the pens of all recognized men who control stage history. The syndicated news given out last week, at New York and Chicago, as a bombardment of Indianapolis, should have been enough to convince any foolish young actor that he whose name is reverenced in the field and used for revenue controls the battlefield. If this young man who is wretchedly indiscreet continues to boldly defy his own advantages, when he knows well that the show business is always at a disadvantage, much less to tamper with the wrath of a foremost press representative, it is safe to warn this young tiresome child of Thespia that if he don't look sharp he will find his name written there, on pages white and fair, in the book of the enemy's kingdom. The moving picture theater craze has developed a wonderful stampede among the Negro and Yiddish theater goers. I took a trip down Halsted street in the neighborhood of Taylor and Van Buren in the most congested district of the Hebrew population. It was a cheering sight to see the second happiest race in existence lined up to see the second show in a Yiddish theater. The Hebrews do not vary like the colored race. There are few of the wealthy clean and cultivated among the poor dirty and uncoath of the everglades. They are more noisy and riotsees than Negroes, but they are happier because they are not obliged to mix up as the colored race does. The Yiddish actors are splendid performers and very good-looking people with enviable masses of black, curly hair. They are always good singers and nimble dancers, and nearer like the colored people than any other race of white actors. They are gifted with the same warm passion of temperament that gave to the Negro magnetism of which the other English speaking people of American extraction is so bereft. The same noisy condition exists on State street, near 31st street, with the single exception that the best class of people of the colored race are compelled to be mixed with the undesirable or remain at home in seclusion. The changes of program at the State street theaters was nothing startling this week, except that the Pekin Theater had the good fortune to secure Henderson and Thomas who opened on Sunday instead of Monday, and completely captured the house. These two Eastern performers can easily be said to have a future. As original singers and dancers, they have few superiors and none more versatile. Billy Harper and Chris Smith, who opened on the same bill on Monday I did not see, but they will probably be spoken of. next week. As there were no acts of color of any particular importance at the downtown houses, people were content to remain on State street to see the old and new favorites. The real quartette is a feature at the Monogram and an entire new bill is at the Grand. Last week the Pekin had Le Roy Bland and Mr. Jones in a new act, which pleased. Mr. Jones does some good comedy work and has a loud voice, while Mr. Bland in protein novelties of dancing and character posing was every inch an artist. The Golden Gate quintette was a bright comedy card at the Monogram last week, and the Grand had a team of hoop controllers. There were other acts at these houses worthy of mention that space will not permit. The most important advance announcement thus far for April is the coming of, George L. Archer's vaudeville big act, "Chocolate Drops," with King-and Bailey, two very young, almost miniature actors of much talked-of ability as chief entertainers. The girls are said to be handsome and dress pretty and are clever in their work. This team, which has appeared at the American music hall, will be looked for at the Pekin Theater about April 11. There is nothing else of April interest except that Billy and Saddle McCarem have returned from Cuba and Lawrence A. Deas, of Deas, Reed and Deas, is in town. Mr. Deas has been playing on the big western time. Manager Motts has been making efforts to secure the trio for a date at the Pekin, but as Mr. Deas has a very high priced vaudeville attraction, it is probable that he will not be seen on State street. Mr. Deas is a traveling deputy of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. He is a well educated man of culture and refinement, well versed in literature, and at all times cautious in his manner of concord with particular individuals, knowing that cordiality and tact means so very much to an actor's upbuilding. Mrs. Bob A. Kelley, wife of Mr. Kelley, of the team of Kelley and Catlin, has been removed to the Hahnemann Hospital, where she may have to undergo an operation. Mr. Kelley, who has been somewhat depressed of late, has the sympathy of the profession, as well as his friends. It is not probable that Mrs. Kelley's case is serious enough to create more than the usual amount of anxiety. THE NORTH SIDE AND ITS SOCIETY. BY HENRY SLAUGHTER, REPORTER. For Rent—Furnished room with all modern improvements; one block from street car line. 212 West Schiller street. Tel. 1477. Rev. Stewart preached an able sermon Sunday on the "Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." Collections for the Easter were $101. The service all day was largely attended. The Sunday school was well represented by our little ones on the birth of Christ. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers through the efforts of the Flower Circle. Wayman Chapel Choir turned out Sunday for their first time in their surplice gowns and caps. We must say for the choir that they looked like different people altogether. Their robes are very becoming, especially Miss Maud Thomas and Miss Jessie Maud Buttler. We are glad to see Miss Mayme Hunt and her sister, Miss Ada, take such an active part in the church; their brother Edward isn't left either. Under the management of Mrs. Rev. Stewart the little misses of the North Side are learning the millinery trade. They had on most becoming hats Sunday of their own make. The Chorus Choir looked beautiful Sunday morning and evening, led by Mr. H. Hailey and Mrs. F. Scott, singing "Holy, Holy." Mr. Hailey's robe is very becoming. Rev. Stewart and his wife, by their good Christian influence, are waking up the North Side as it has never been before. We all pray that God, who rules supreme, will prolong our pastor's days to a ripe old age, so that he may see some of his good works that he has done in his younger days. Mrs. G. W. Ramsey, our able president's wife, paid a visit to Bethel Church Sunday evening. Our Sunday Club was represented by three of our prominent men in the persons of Mr. Freeman, Mr. George Johnson and Mr. Nolan. Their papers on Easter and the Resurrection were beautiful. Mr. Nolan's paper was short but sweet. The People's Club only trust that these men will stand by the club and its president. Rev. Stewart and his co-workers visited the various persons that were sick Sunday and administered the Lord's supper to them. The People's Sunday Club will have a grand entertainment on the 25th of April for the benefit of the church. All are invited to attend the People's Sunday Club. Sunday at 4:30. The club will be entertained by the Young Men's Enterprise Club. After the able and interesting lecture of Rev. Robinson the Young Men's Service Circle entertained. The tissue paper wedding was quite a success and realized $18.00. Mrs. Etta Watson, president. Mr. S. B. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea, addressed the Herman Sunday Club. Subject: "Race Economy." Sadie Thomas is on the sick list. Rev. H. E. Stewart left last Wednesday for St. Paul, Minn. Mr. F. Hudson, formerly of Chicago, has returned to the city. He says there is no place like Chicago. The Sunday Club under the administration of Mr. G. W. Ramsey, has done more for its financial part of the church than any president the club has had. Mrs. Gansbery will entertain the Choral Club on the third Tuesday at 1208 Penn street. ZION CHURCH ACTIVITIES, _____ 38th and Dearborn Streets. BV. JESSE J. COLLERT D. P. DASTER. Zion was truly in her glory last Sunday, the church was beautifully and tastefully decorated with flowers and the birds seemed to vie with the choir in chanting the glory and praise of God. The congregation was large and appreciative. The pastor preached eloquently upon the "Resurrection and Its Effects," clad in his new robe, while the choir for the first time graced the choir loft with their white and beautiful robes, which formed a magnificent setting for the array of splendor that seemed to characterize the whole affair. Several persons were initiated into the church by baptism by immersion in the afternoon in the presence of a large and enthusiastic congregation; the pastor delivered a short and appropriate address to the candidates before the rite of baptism was administered. Sunday night was largely taken up with the children's exercises, which were enjoyed by all. The collection was for the benefit of the church extension department, which was applied to the church extension fund of the church. Both choirs sang as usual and will sing again next Sunday night. The Easter cantata given by the choir, supported by the Shilo and Pethesda choirs, was a grand success and highly enjoyed by all. Great credit is due Mrs. Ida M. Beecher for the beautiful showing and splendid accomplishments of the Zion choir in the performance, as well as to Mr. George Dunean for the able assistance which he rendered in making the occasion the success it was.

The thirty-second birthday of Mr. Jack Johnson was celebrated at his home on Thursday evening in great style. About fifty white friends and as many colored, both men and women crowded into his barn, where three double tables were spread, and all the good things of the season flowed like water. Upstairs in the barn a big dance was had. If Paul Laurence Dunbar was on hand he would have made a great story. Mr. Johnson April fooled the police on Friday and he was not arrested in any part of the city during the day. Mr. Johnson was proud to see in an African paper where Prince Itzebo has deposited 500 elephant tusks with a local banker in Baccalaand that Jack will win. Dr. Daniel Williams, is a great man in the medical world, and the medicine men of Africa are arranging to have the doctor come over. Jack put in a strenuous day on this, his thirty-second and The Defender wishes him many more, and here's hoping to the Fourth of July. MISS ESTELLE WILLIAMS NOT MARRIED AS REPORTED Miss Estelle Williams, formerly Mrs. Browne, of 3364 Forest avenue, who owns a beautiful home at 3637 Prairie avenue, has rented it to her cousins, Messrs. Hall and Harper, while Miss Williams has a suite of rocms with Mrs. Eliza White, 19 East 28th street, as she is in care of a specialist, being treated for nervousness. Miss Williams is a worthy young woman and we, her friends, most sincerely regret her troubles that have brought illness; also wish her a speedy recovery of health and happiness. The rumor of her marriage, which has been going its rounds, she wishes to be corrected, as it is utterly false. MISS M. MATTHEWS Speaks of the Defender. Miss M. Mathews, 3247 State street, the most fashionable milliner on the South Side, said the other day to a friend, when speaking of placing her ad. in a certain paper: "I only advertise in the Defender. That paper has given me better results than any paper in the city." So soon after a reporter passed and she called him and gave him the swell ad. near the personal columns. Miss Mathews is a business woman and knows how to place her money to get the best results. Also the Hamilton Electric Vacuum Company has placed its ad. with us. Look for it on the 4th page. Here she comes again. Another New York heiress has eloped with her chaudfeur. These men seem to have succeeded the coachman in the affection of rich and silly girls.

Look for her big ad. next week. THE TWINS' SAMPLER. It Was Begun by a Girl and Finished by Her Brother. There is often comedy and pathos, as well as family or historic interest, attaching to the quaint samplers of old-time children, cherished now with so much pride and care by their descendants. The impossible roses, the birds as big as cows, the cows that may be dogs, the dogs that perhaps were meant for horses, all intermingled with numerals, the alphabet, family facts, meaningless flourishes, a text or a moral verse—there is no other needlework quite so fascinating to a retrospective and imaginative eye. A sampler which a lady much interested in antiquies recently reported discovering in a remote farmhouse is perhaps unique; for it is the work not of one child, but two, and one of the two a boy. It is not especially interesting in design, although carefully executed, but it has a story. It was begun by little Mary Holme, aged 11, who brought it, indeed, near to completion. There were but a few lines more to fill, and on the first of these she had already wrought the "Mary," which was to be followed by her surname, and date of birth. She was seated before the blazing hearth, busily stitching, when a spark flew out and ignited her dress. There was on one else in the house but her twin brother, Stephen, who sprang to her rescue. But the poor child, frantic with terror, struggled with him as he strove to beat out the flames, so that both fell and rolled together into the hot embers. Mary died that night. Stephen was so cruelly burned—he was barefooted—that he was for two years a crippled invalid, and limped for life. During the boy's long and slow recovery his elder sisters, to keep him occupied, taught him to knit and sew. Tradition declares that he knitted a pair of stockings for every member of the family, and made a patchwork quilt for his own bed; but the only specimen of his work preserved is the sampler, which he completed. Its last lines, in faded blue and brown, are still easily read: "Mary and Stephen Holme, born Aug. 9, 1768. Mary died Oct. 2, 1779, and Stephen finished this. In Memoriam."—Youth's Companion.

KING Mrs. King of 2604 State street threw up her hands and said to a reporter of the Defender, no more partners for me, and I wish you would make an announcement in my paper to the public that Mr. Ed M. Blackwell is no more a partner of mine and that from now [Picture of a woman with a large, curly hairstyle and a white headband. She is wearing a dark dress with a high collar.] Mrs. Frank W. King. on Mrs. King will personally conduct her own funerals. She has been successful in securing the services of Mr. Frank S. Reed, a licensed undertaker and embalmer, a graduate of Barnes Institute of Anatomy and Sanitary Science; also a post-graduate. His early training was received in Mobile, Ala., at Broad street Academy. Mr. Reed is a S. S. teacher in Quinn Chapel for some time, and while he hates [Picture of a young man in a suit with a tie and a white shirt. The background is a solid black oval.]] to leave the West Side, where he has been living for several years, he feels he can better attend his duties. Mrs. King has acted wisely in securing Mr. Reed's services and it looks now that she will get off in great shape. We trust that her former friends and acquaintances will rally to her and give this worthy woman the support that is due her. Mr. Reed holds licenses for both the duty and State. --- SICK LIST FOR THIS WEEK. By J. Hockley Smiley. The sick list column was inaugurated to help our readers save time in reading the paper and also the trouble of reading the whole personal column to find out this information. If you or your friends are sick or any society that advertises with us may send in such names to the edition of sick column on separate paper from that on which you write your personal. Tuesday Dr. E. S. Miller underwent an operation for an affection of the nose. Dr. McKinley was the operating surgeon. Mr. Martin Anderson of 5013 Dearborn street is ill and under the care of a physician. Miss Deborah White is very low again. We wish all those having sick friends will send in their names to the Defender not later than Tuesday of each week. Help us to make this column above par value. Mrs. Pearl Wilson of 3337 Wabash avenue has been very sick in St. Luke's hospital with appendicitis, but after a most successful operation by Dr. Williams she is now improving rapidly. Miss Estella Bryant of 6432 Champlain avenue has improved from an illness of several weeks' duration of diphtheria. Dr. Dailey was her physician. Walking the Carse Hair Rubbing Experience for a Novice There came over me as I sat in the caboose that evening a wild desire to ride with the engineer in the cab. Planning to go up along the half mile so of train at the first stop, I made known my desire to our conductor over that part of the run. "They'll be glad to see you," he told me. "You won't have any trouble getin' there. It's a mild evenin'." He swung open the window of the lookout and called to his rear brakeman. "Jimmie, run along with this here party." Jimmie pulled me through the window of the lookout before I clearly realized the entire plan. It was a slippery path over the roofs of sixty cars to the big engine that was pulling us, and the wind that swept in from the shores of the icebound lake, along which the tracks ran for many miles, snapped sharply over those car roofs. Jimmie hung on to his lantern with one hand, to his convoy with the other. Long miles over those slippery car roofs had taught him to regard it as no very serious business. "This ain't nothin'," was his assurance. "It sometimes gets nasty when we get down to zero an' a blizzard comes a ripin' from off over the lake. Sometimes you have to get down and crawl on all fours. It wouldn't be much fun to be swept off the tops of these cars." There was no disputing that, nor that the three lengthwise planks at the gable of the car roofs were not wide promenades. You jump from one to another to cross from car to car, and a man has got to have something of a gymnastic training and some circus as well as railroad blood in his veins to do it many times without dropping into one of the hideous dark abysses between them. A hand out of the dark slapped me in the face. "Drop," said Jimmie, and, fearing possibly that I might not obey, he pulled me flat down upon the car roof. "That was a 'tell tale,'" he explained, and before I could ask further we were in a short reach of a tunnel, and I understood. We were whirled through that tunnel like a package in a tube, and if we had raised our arms we could have touched the flying roof of the hore. The smoke lay heavy in the place. It filled our eyes and nostrils. "Not real nice," said Jimmie cheerily. "But no danger in the holes, save now and then an ankle gets a crack at your nut. You see, there ain't much use in arguing' the matter after that 'tell tale' strikes you."—Edward Hungerford in Harper's. Think it over: How many people have treated you right in everything?

It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pilable and glossy, to comb and arrange. A style designed to comb and arrange with a length of the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition. The size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and pads it from getting harsh and it helps to prevent it from failing out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used in infants. Delicately conforms to skin and is constant pleasure. A good sensitive toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good"; if you want the best results buy *Ford's A hair Pomade*. Look for this name. If you want a gentle, pearl-like package. If your drugstore or local dermatologist recommends you with the routine, we will send you. THE BEST OF THE WORLD A.R. BROWN THE DUMAS HOTEL AND GRILL K.R.
