THE WHAT WOMEN SHOULD WEAR COATS for GIRLS This is a "white season," for there is a perfect rage for white fox, ermine, white-faced cloth, and above all, ivory white Indian cashmere. The latter is really an ideal material for dresses of ceremony, but it has been rather out of favor the last three or four years. Now it is rushing to the front again and in connection with rare, lovely embroideries. Marguerite, dowager queen of Italy, is credited with this universal adoption of white, for on every possible occasion she appears in white costumes. The late king of Italy was very fond of the virgin tint and was really angry when his queen appeared in any but the palest and most delicate colors. He declared—with truth—that a pretty woman looks her best in robes composed of soft white lace and he used to present his wife with costly flounces, on condition that she wore them on ordinary, as well as extraordinary, occasions. Indeed King Humbert's two special weaknesses were laces and pearls, and with these two most desirable possessions Queen Marguerite is richly endowed. The queen has been heard to say that beautiful white lace and rich white furs belong, by right, to women who have left their youth behind them. It is a very comfortable doctrine and one which contains many grains of truth. We saw a handsome pale gray cashmere robe the other day which had several flouces on the skirt. Each of these flouces was edged with hand embroideries of the finest description; in fact so fine that the effect was lost unless at close quarters. There was a tight-fitting jacket, with basques at the back and a most attractive little waistcoat of palest tan suede. On the jacket there were some beautiful embroideries to match those on the skirt, and the under vest was of tucked muslin—very neat and plain, like a man's dress shirt. Another embroidered cashmere costume, of the same order, was in ivory white with elaborate scrolls and garlands of flowers worked in pale pink and pale green silks. These Indian cashmere have been More and More are the little folks' garments, especially their outside wrappings, being planned along the same general lines as those of the crown-ups. This similarity is not confined to the outlines of the little coats and capes, but extends to materials and trimmings as well. Real laces, costly buttons and expensive furs figure to a noticeable degree on the children's garments exhibited this season, while chiffon velvets and novelty velours are favorite materials for these delightful little affairs, which are essentially childish and quaint in spite of their luxuriousness. In fact, In Uno a There is Strength. gradually gaining in favor since they were worn by the princess of Wales, after her return from India. She is particularly partial to the soft material, which drapes so gracefully, and so is Queen Alexandra. Another rage this is for velvet, and cloth, dresses with very deep bands on the hem of the skirts. For evening toilets this band is almost always covered with pattleste or with elaborate embroideries, but for street wear cloth dresses of the same design show the lower part of the skirt covered with intricate braidings. In our illustration we show a robe of cherry colored cloth with guipure and tabler of guipure lace tinted the same shade. The other is a "directoire" robe of drape "Bleu Lancet" with draped bo勒 and muff of ermine, embroidered vest and blouse of Irish lace. Marabout as a trimming seems to become more popular every day. It can be had in every delicate shade, but it gives the best effects in silver gray, with crepe de chine to match or in shell pink. I have seen in some evening mantles trimmed with marabout in bright shades of emerald green and even in "empire" cerise, but these vivid shades offend the eyes. Marabout in itself is so soft and fuzzy that it ought to be treated as naturally as possible. In every shade of brown it is ideal, but I can speak most favorably of it in pale shades of pink, gray and blue. One of the special novelties in the millinery world is the beautifully fashioned rose of softest satin. I do not mean a silk or satin rose of the ordinary kind, but a thoroughly conventional rose which does not profess to copy nature. In the new bluem Lancet these roses are very attractive and also in a most impossible shade of emerald green. As I have already said, there is no pretense at copying nature. The new roses are simply used as a hat decoration in place of a satin chou or bow. Another novelty is the full crown of supple felt, covered with delicate Turkish embroidery in copper or silver. In the telling justice cannot possibly be done them and an observation trip through a shop devoted to children's things or through the children's department of any of the high-class department stores is necessary in order to realize their charm. Simple and unpretentious in appearance and yet rich and costly enough in reality for little princesses. Perhaps no style of coat is more adapted to childish figures than the Empire, and one frequently sees such little garments, which are replicas of those worn by older women. Coats fashioned along these lines are sure to be graceful and becoming, whether intended for plain or dressy wear, and all sorts of materials lend themselves charmingly to this style. The coat may be originally cut on regulation Empire lines, or the Empire effect may be simulated by cleverly arranged trimmings, such as folds, stitched bands, fancy braids and the like.

Dealt the Attack on Our Soldiers by --- Some Things Said in His Grand Effort of Last Week Thursday---- Ably Supported by Senator Scott and Others. --- Washington, D. C.—Immediately after the senate convened last week Thursday Senator Foraker's resolution, looking to an investigation by the senate of the president's discharge of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, was taken up, and he addressed the senate in its support. The senator began with the broad declaration "that the president misconceived his constitutional power when he discharged the troops and he also misconceived the testimony on which his action was warranted. He rizified a review of the precedents cited by President Roosevelt in the declaration: "There is no precedent in either the regular or volunteer service for the president's action." and he is right, too. Mr. Foraker said and proved, that the president's constitutional power was simply to command the army and navy, as commander-in-chief, while to congress the articles of war prescribed minutely how these trials are to be conducted (courts-martial) it was inconceivable that the president should be absolutely without restraint. The president, Senator Foraker said, stated in his message that the soldiers discharged for that reason. He followed this with the article of war providing that a court-martial should direct this punishment. This was all to guard against the exercise of an autonomic power. Congress, to provide against punishment, had limited the penalties. Line for line Mr. Foraker denied or wiped out Roosevelt's "facts." Now and then he suggested with pointed irony that "the president had been misled." He also discredited Maj. Blocksom, of Ohio, on the ground of his "copper-head" ancestry, the influence of which was so grossly manifested frequently in his prejudicial "report" to the war department, against the soldiers. He showed the president's "copper-head" ancestry of the Brownstein affair and but eight—this according to the president's and the war department's own reports to the senate—and the unsworn "testimony" of that eight frequently conflicted. Continuing, Senator Foraker said: 'But whatever precedents there may have been in the case of Gen. Grant or of Gen. Lee or of any general in the field commanding during the time of war, would not apply in time of peace. What may have been done during the civil war would not apply, not only because it was done during time of war, but because it was done before the articles of War, in the form in which I have read them and commented on them, were placed in the statutes of the United States. Since these Articles of War were framed and enacted, as they are to-day, no man can be convicted of an offense without first having a chance before a court-martial to make his defense, to face his accusers, and cross-examine the witnesses who seek to disgrace him before the world. "Mr. President, I have said over and over again that this is not a question that is confined to these men alone; much less is it a color question. I do not intend here this morning to enter upon that, and I hope I will not be provoked to enter upon it at any time in the discussion of this subject that is to follow. But if that question must be presented I think I can show that the Twenty-fifth regiment, as is the case with every other colored regiment, has a good record for bravery, gallantry and heroism. Only this morning an officer of the army who served on the frontier told me that the Negro troops are the only troops of the American army who never failed to defeat the Indians when they met them in battle. There is not one single case where on meeting the Indians they did not drive them off the field and win the day. Their career has been one of honor from the beginning of our government down to the present. Who can ever forget that the first blood of the revolution was that of Crispus Attucks, who was stricken to death in the streets of Boston? And who in this body has not paused and looked upon the picture that hangs over the stairway on the a later side of the file) senate—Perry's history. Like Erie. And who that man? Like Erie. And who to observe that there, in that boat, a hour of supreme peril, when Commodore Perry was trying to escape from a sinking ship, seeking safety on another, by the side of him in that boat was a man with a black face? I have not time to recount their deeds of gallantry and heroesm as they are recorded in the history of the civil war, but on another occasion that will be done if it be necessary. I do not ask that they be dealt with here, Mr. President, more generously than the gallantry and heroesm of gallantry, service, but I do ask that we all practice as well as profess the "square deal" for the black men who have given this country a "square deal" on every occasion when they GAZETTE. have been called upon to serve it. At the proper time, I say, I shall speak of that, perhaps at some length, but I do not intend to do it now. "Should the military committee be given authority to examine witnesses," Mr. Foraker said, "I think I can get some testimony that will throw additional light on this matter. indeed I know I can. I do not hesitate to say that I will promise the senate that I can and I know what I am talking about in this matter. I am not a boy on a frolic. I am not here talking in an idle way on account of a hardship that may fall upon a few men, but because this question embraces a great, broad principle of constitutional law and constitutional liberty. It is a precedent, if it should be established, that will apply to white men as well as black men, and it applies to the whole country." Taking the individual record of the discharged American soldiers, the senator said the first man on the list was Sergeant Mingo Sanders, who had served 26 years. Each time his enlistment had expired his record was good, and was characterized as "excellent," "faithful," "reliable," "good soldier," "character excellent," etc. "Why, Mr. President," declared Mr. Foraker with great vheence, "an atrocious crime has been committed to the man is not guilty. He goes forth branded as a murderer." He repeated several times during his speech that he believed the president had been imposed upon. "But," he added, "I believe he is a big enough man to undo what he has done when he finds out the true situation." And Senator Foraker has never shown more splendidly as the great lawyer that he is than in his first speech, and the one of last week Thursday wherein he dexterously, eloquently handled the evidence in his first speech and the moments of his side of the case. When he concluded he received unanimous consent to modify the resolution so that it now directs the senate committee on military affairs to investigate the affairs leading up to the discharge of the Negro troops, and it will be voted upon on January 3 or 4. In a tone that carried a deliberate sneer with every syllable, although his language was carefully polite, Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the president's spokesman in the senate spoke briefly in a vain effort to break the force of Mr. Foraker's great speech, and Senator Scott, of West Virginia, followed with the following bit of recent history that was as pertinent as pleasing to all of the friends of our outraged soldiers within hearing in the senate: "If I am correctly informed as to the history of the Spanish-American war, it is reported that if it had not been for the gallant and courageous action of the Tenth regiment of cavalry at the battle of San Juan, we might not now have the privilege of having in the White House that brave soldier and 'square deal' and patriotic president of ours. As I understand, had it not been for the galantry of the Tenth regiment of cavalry, a colored regiment, at that battle there might not have been a sufficient number of the Rough Riders left to tell the tale." NO RACE QUESTION. So Says a Havana Paper in Discussing the Election of Gomez. Havana, Cuba—The Diario de la Marina commenting on the election of Juan Gualberto Gomez, who is an Afro-Cuban, as president of the municipal convention of the Liberal party of Havana, says it considers this a triumph for the uncompromising attitude of the liberals in regard to Cuba becoming free again. The paper declares that there is no race question here. The real problem is the question of a protectorate or independence. The race difficulty has been exaggerated. It is true that it entered to a small extent into the recent rebellion but tact kept it in the background. Juan Gualberto Gomez. The division in the liberal party is far more real than any race question. Alfredo Zayas and Jose Miguel Gomez are the leaders of the respective factions. The split has become more defined over the question of the governorship of Santa Clara, into which enters the matter of the contract for waterworks at Clenfuegos, which was let by the Palma government, and which, it is charged, was fraudulent, in that the vote of the people taken on the matter was a farce. The new mayor of Clenfuegos opposes the contract. The difficulty in Cuban politics is that too much prominence is given to personal hatreds, and that there is such wide divergence of opinions as to the management of the public business. Hon. Wm. H. Hunt, who succeeded Judge M. W Gibbs, of Arkansas, as consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, has been promoted and sent to St. Etienne, France, as consul. Mr. Hunt married a daughter of Judge Gibbs. Hon. James G. Carter, of Georgia, who was recently appointed consul at Sivas, Turkey, succeeded Mr. Hunt at Tamatave. --- Taft's Wholesale Charges—Tillmar —President Roosevelt—Walker's $5,000 House—Joe Gans— Other Items of Interest.

The board of education of New Orleans, La., has employed white teachers to teach in colored schools. The board claims that the Negro teachers are incompetent and do not measure up with that of the whites. The Negro has passed all required examinations, care not how rigid.

Secretary of War Taft's wholesale charges against the discharged soldiers as a means of vindicating his SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. chief from the universal charge of hot-headed haste to punish the black men charged with insulting white people, must pass muster before Senators Penrose and Foraker before it is submitted to the public for final decision. The Negroes are anxious to see the whole thing made bare for the people. We trust the people.—Chicago Conservator. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, a warrior of the old school who "sniffs the battle from afar," is the only public man in the situation so far who has risen equal to the demand of the whole country that lynch law methods shall not prevail in the administration of the laws, civil and military, that the innocent shall not suffer with the guilty, and that neither shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."—N. Y. Age. By the time Senator Foraker, the hero of the oppressed, gets through with the cowboy president and the constitution, our "boy on a frolic" who at one time could not close the door of hone against the honest, faithful Negro will appear the smallest and most self-cochesed man that ever occupied the White House, and the Negro citizens of the country will have arisen several degrees in the estimation of good people everywhere.—Chicago Conservator. Senator Hopkins said something when he remarked that the government which is demanding that the Japs be allowed to attend mixed schools in California is running separate schools for Negroes in the District of Columbia. While neither the Negroes nor the whites in the District want mixed schools, still it is hard to see how the government can make the Frisco people do what it will not do itself. Senator Hopkins very pertinently asks if Japanese have more rights by treaty than citizens under the Japanese law. He hands not a lemon, but a hot one to those who are loud in condemning the people of the coast.—Chicago Conservator. Dissatisfaction is general among Afro-Americans of Richmond with President Roosevelt because of his "discharge without honor" order issued in connection with the three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. His annual message to congress but increased that dissatisfaction, as in it he put his stamp of approval on the lie circulated against the Afro-American people of the south, that the lynching of them was principally for assaults upon womanhood, as it was a crime peculiar to the men of their race. The Afro-American people of Richmond are sorely incensed at this gratuitous insult of the president and to show their disapproval they have in their private residences taken down portraits of him hung upon walls in the club houses and other public places. He has been turned to the wall, and all talk about the once "open door of hope" has sunk into "innocuous desuetude."—N. Y. Age. There stands out but one man to day who can lead the republican party to a glorious victory in 1908. That man is Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio. While his boom has not been launched by the politicians, his rare training and consummate ability are being seen by the common people and they are beginning to understand that he represents the true American spirit. They are seeing now that Senator Foraker is one of the altesten in the world to-day. He is an orator, for former lawyers, is a statesman, and was a Union soldier and believes in justice to his comrades and in giving them the benefit of "due process of law" when they are charged with crime. His long experience in public life, the high legal attainment to which he has risen and his wonderful courage and far-sightedness as a statesman and lover of his country and laws, lift him pre-eminently above the aspirants to the high honor of the first place in the gift of his countrymen and forces us to believe that the popular will will demand him as the standard bearer of the republican party in 1908. When the charlion call is sounded, the president's voice and pen will be used in his defense he is fighting the battles of true Americanism and a victory for him will be a victory for freedom and liberty for the whole people of the country. Watch the tide of the times and you will see the prophecy of this bureau fulfilled.—Martinsburg (W, Va.) Pioneer Press. CHATTANOOGA CASE. First Round in the U. S. Supreme Court in the Ed Johnson Lynching Contempt Case Won. Washington, D. C.—The supreme court on Monday decided adversely to the defendant the preliminary questions involved in the case of Sheriff Shipp and 26 others of Chattanooga, Tenn., charged with contempt for the supreme court in lynching March 18, 1906, an Afro-American named Johnson after the court had taken cognizance of the case. The opinion was handed down by Justice Holmes, who announced that, with the preliminaries disposed of, the court would proceed with the prosecution. He did not say when the next step would be taken. It will probably be the attorney general making a motion in the supreme court for the appointment of a commissioner to take testimony as the guilt of Shipp and his deputies. The supreme court that it had jurisdiction leaves the way clear in a motion. The preliminary questions of law out of the way, there remains only the one of proving the facts cited in the charge of contempt. The outcome of the cases is regarded as particularly uncomfortable for Sheriff Shipp, as attorneys Hutchins and Parden, Chattanooga Afro-Americans, will push his and others' cases (charged with being members of the mob that did the lynching) to the limit.

Senator Scott, of West Virginia, did a gracious act when he called atten- tion to the Tenth cavalry as he did in the senate last week Thursday at the close of Senator Foraker’s great speech, and every loyal Afro-American is proud of him, too.

He seems to have for- gotten their interest in the rehabilita- tion of our soldiers of the Twenty-fitth infantry. A few weeks ago he was so particular to speak of the anxiety of these same constituents. Penrose was simply trying to head oft Senator For- aker's resolution, just as the sarcastic Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, is vainly doing everything in his power to do the vory same thing. Some of the closest friends of the president who have noted with alarm and surprise the attitude assumed by him, are hoping he will take @ differ- ent stand or at least that he will re- serve further action and utterances until he has some definite action by congress, on which to base it, or until some new phase of the matter comes to him for aetion. It is pointed out that thus far the defi to congress can- not be prompted by anything but Sen- ator Foraker's great speech, as there has been no attempt to take any ac- tion further than to call upon the pres- ident and the secretary of war for in- formation tn their possession dealing with the subject. “Teddy's” met more ‘thaw bis tanteli-@cMendtoe:Moraker.

Again, im his annual report, the secretary of war made a direct argument in favor of the administration position. He has since expressed pride in the na- ture of this argument and stated that it represented his conviction on the case.

He has astounded even his warmest and ablest friends as the result of that great speech of last week Thursday in the U. 8. sen- ate, and has caused consternation in the camp of President Roosevelt and the war department by a rewew of their “testimony” such as only a great Jurist, a great orator and a great. mind can make. It was a death blow to the schemes of prejudiced Texans and members of the army and war depart ment that will eventuate as did those which gave rise to the Dreyfus case in France. And the fight has just begun! Senator Foraker’s next set speech on the subject of the unwarranted and outrageous “discharge without honor” of those soldiers will be worth going to Washington to hear, will “rattle dry bones” so loud that they will be dis- tinctly heard at Fort Brown, Tex., and will be an effort that will rank with the best delivered in the U. 8. senate since its earliest history. We hope to hear it. More power to him! By President Roosevelt's Defiance in the Soldier-Case and Pay No At- tention to His Threats. Washington, D. C.—President Roose- velt’s fervid defiance of congress in relation to the discharge of the sol- diers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, de- clared through his press agents Satur- day, aroused only languid interest among the few senators and repre- sentatives who remain in the city for the holidays. He was more cautions than usual in giving out this state- ment, Usually he sends for most of the ‘correspondents of —repubifcan newspapers. This time he chose only the trustiest, four, and he talked to them in the inner sanctuary. The propositions he laid down are these: If, after the investigation, congress passes a bill restoring the soldiers to the army from which he discharged them without honor, he will veto the Dill. If congress then passes the bill over his veto the president will seek to nullify it through legislative action, until the whole affair can be passed upon by the supreme court. ‘Then, if congress desires to impeach ‘him, ‘the president will gladly shout, “Impeach me, so we can have this matter sifted’ to the bottom.” Of ‘course, all this is far fetched and a bit hysterical. It is merely the president's way of saying to congress that he feels he is right on the merits of the case of the discharge of the soldiers and that he will fight to a finish. It is @ notification to offset the far reach- ing effect of Senator Foraker’s great speach made in the senate Thursday, just as the giving out at the White House of the correspondence relating to the Sixtieth Ohio regiment of the civil war was. The sending last Fri- day of Milton D. Purdy, assistant at- torney general, to Brownsville to get further Information and to get affiday- its and legal evidence against the sol- diers, is taken here to show that the president Is not so cocksure of his ground as he has held to be. Indeed, some of Senator Foraker’s friends hold this action to be a confession of weakness, and it is, too. Many of the senators who remained in the city af- ter the adjournment for the holidays are putting in apart of their time studying up the details of the articles of war, in order to form opinions whether President Roosevelt exceeded his authority in removing the compa- nies of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Two points were notable in the discussion of the subject Saturday among sena- tors: One that Senator Foraker made it clear, as Senator Lodge admitted in his brief speech, that there are two sides to the case; second, that it is an open question whether the president did not go beyond his authority when he dismissed the men, The prediction was freely made by senators who should be informed upon the intricate questions involved that by legislative authority the president will be revers- ed in his action removing the men. It is evident that the president has a fight on his hands. Senator Foraker is regarded as a good fighter and there are many others in the senate and the house who challenge the president's contention that he had the right to dismiss the battalion without giving each member of it the right of trial by court-martial. In support of Senator Foraker’s contention that the presi- dent exceeded his authority and that the soldiers should have been court- martialed, it is now pointed out that the records, as transmitted to con- gress, show that court-martial pro: ceedings were actually — instituted against 12 of the men who were placed under arrest, under the sixty-second article of war, which Mr. Foraker quoted in his speech last week Thurs- day, The Texas grand jury could find no evidence on which to indict the men, however, and later the court- martial proceedings were dropped for ‘a similar lack of evidence.

There can be little or no question in the face of many publications in The Cleveland Daily Leader from time to time during the past year, that it possesses a pro-southern sympathy (prejudice) that will cause all loyal Afro-Americans of Cleveland to discontinue taking the paper, and also to vote against the Cleveland Electric Railroad Co., if ever the franchise question is submitted to a vote of the people, because its stockholders are the principal owners of both the Leaders and the paper, which seem to delight in characterizing them as "niggers, coons, darkies, dingies, blackbirds, mokes," etc., and our men as "negresses," the most insulting morgrel term that can be raked up, and one that was used during slavery days in conjunction with the miserable designation "buck" for a male slave. Tell every Afro-American of this community with whom you come in contact and who has a spark of self and race-pride to bar the Leader and the News from their homes as they would a lousy dog, and to remember to hold the Cleveland Electric Railway as the leader of Leader's and the News' contemptible gratuitous insults. The member of the race who would commend these two miserable sheets to our people ought to be "marked" and remembered.

Mossell, secretary of the local branch of the Constitutional league, Saturday sent a lengthy message to President Roosevelt, denouncing the action taken in dismissing the members of the Twenty- fifth infantry. After protesting against his "superheated denunciation of the troopers," the message takes up the need to shield criminals and charges that eventuated the presi- dency day "murderous organizations of white men in the south are carrying on their war on the colored people." The protest continues: "These secret clans hesitate not to assassinate U. S. government officers and band together to shield and protect each other. They are supported by the white people and have recently seized and lynched a prisoner who was in the custody of the supreme court of the U. S., and while the lynchers were in Washington answering the charge of contempt before the supreme court of the U. S., the nation was shocked by the fact that the president received and honored the lynchers at the White House. As a matter of fact, the state has shielded more criminals and covered more crimes than the white people of the south. And in the south the blood of more innocent men and women, slain by brutal red-handed white clans, cries from the ground unto the vengeance of God, than in all the other parts of the country taken together." LYNCHING BY COLLEGE STU- DENTS. The brave defenders of the Annapolis jail were put to flight by a crowd of 40 college boys, who, just for a lark, took out a Negro and killed him. These brave defenders surrendered without firing a shot, and after politely perfunctory resistance, Latest press dispatches state that the boys knew that no resistance would be made, and that it was with this understaffed unit attacked the jail. For sheer heroism and bravery all parties concerned seem to shine with an almost unexamined elffulness. The boys, it is said, gathered in the college assembly hall, and did not even take the trouble to remove the gay coloured hattabs which are supposed to be badges of the college youth the country over. They marched to the jail without leadership and without organization, with the understanding that their requests would be courteously acceded to by the jailors. It was a new and highly original form of hazing, with no possible chance of danger to the hazers, and with merely the murder of a man as the object to be accomplished. It was a very active little outdoor party, town of other outsiders being distinctly given the opportunity that their presence was not desired. It seems that only the ordinary amount of brutality was displayed, the Negro being kicked and beaten somewhat on his way to death, but being spared the culmination of the faggot which has become popularized for festivities of this kind in some sections of the south. The parents of the manly lads should feel justly proud of the achievement of their offspring. The youngsters were undoubtedly mostly scold of the "best families" of Maryland, nurtured upon the sentiments of lynch murder as expounded by illustrious Americans of the Ben Tillman stripe, though the nation has become somewhat accustomed to be savagery of this nature, there is certainly something particularly repulsive and atrocious in this escapade of calow college youths with their harbats of many hues. And the defenders of the fall, who so ably contributed their part to the success of the occasion, seem to fall somewhat below the level of humankind.—Cleveland Plain Deal Titusville, Pa.

Anthony Comstock was talking in New York about certain information that had been lodged with him. "It is perhaps helpful information," he said, "but I confess that I mistrust its motive. "It suggests to me an incident that occurred last month in Matawan. "A young woman of Matawan said to her husband one night: "My dear, there is a gentleman in the parlor. He wants to speak to you." "Who is it, do you know?" the husband asked. "Dear," said his wife, "you must forgive me—but that cough has bothered you so much of late—and though winter is coming on it still clings to you—and, oh, if you knew how worried I've been about you!" And she threw her arms around his neck. "What would I do if I were to lose you?" she moaned. "Come, come," said the young man patting her shoulder tenderly; 'men don't die of a slight cold. So you've called in the doctor, eh? Well, I'll see him gladly if it will make you feel easier. Which one is it? Squills?" "It isn't the doctor," was the answer. "It's the life insurance agent." DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. Impossible to Get Employment, as Fashion Withdrawn, with Scores—Courts' Law "Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases." Thomas M.

THE LIBERTY BELL A New Year's Resolution By JANE CRAWFORD THE diffidence of Thomas Wentworth was disturbing to his soul's peace. For six months he had been vainly trying to propose to Helen Griswold. Opportunities had not been lacking. Together they had studied moonlight HE diffidence of Thomas Wentworth was disturbing to his soul's peace. For six months he had been vainly trying to propose to Helen Griswold. Opportunities had not been lacking. Together they had studied moonlight sheets from shadowy porches. They had discussed life and love in cozy corners, but the all-important words remained unsaid. Every attempt to speak them left him in a state of quaking disgust. At last he framed a little speech that exactly suited his needs. During all his conscious moments, yea, most of the unconscious ones, he rehearsed it, with more or less dramatic effect. Time and again he had gone with the strength of Samson to present it; like Samson, he had departed, shorn of his strength by a woman. “啊, but such a woman!” She had eyes like violets—big ones that spoke vowels; but it was a language he couldn't understand, so we For Six Months, He Said, He Had Longd to Tell Her—To Ask Her— For Six Months, He Said, He Had longed to Tell Her—To Ask Her—continued his rehearsals. Now on the last evening of the old year, pacing back and forth across his room, he was still rehearsing the speech with interpolations of the one New Year's resolution he had deemed worth while, that before the New Year dawned he would ask her. He would be a blithering fool no longer. "I'll ask her to night," he announced. Her mother was giving an informal dance to watch the old year out. Not less than 100 men would be there to bribe the orchestra for extra selections, or prolonged numbers, which they would sit out, or dance, with the lady of his heart. "But," grimly, "I'll ask her. It's quite simple." In his steady tramp around the room he knocked down a Japanese fire screen. "In Japan they have a go-between. That must be a comfort." "Go-between," he repeated the word several times. It had a pleasant suggestiveness. He smiled broadly. "Certainly! Of course, why not? I'll write it!" He literally fell upon pen and paper. His tongue never could have formed the words that followed his facile pen. The accumulation of six months' allegiance was laid before her eyes. The letter was a gem. The essential part of it was that if her answer was yes, would she, when he entered the ballroom that night, simply lay the violets that he would send with this letter against her face. For just a second! He would understand. The violets matched her eyes. He had often said so. There was no time to lose. He telephoned the florist to whose coffers he contributed. "Oh, send a bushel!" he laughed, happily, like a schoolboy perpetrating a joke. "I have a note to send, deliver them here." The flowers arrived by a messenger who looked like the chief emissary of Dan Cupid. Tom untied the violet cord, lifted out a bunch of the choicest blossoms about the size of a prize caniflower, smiled approval, retied the box, addressed the card and with a generous tip to the boy started him on his errand. Then, with a strange peace possessing him, he awaited a seemly hour to present himself to learn his fate. Only the family was present when he arrived. The effusion of their greeting would have set at rest his humping heart, "could he have seen anything but the girl, who, standing in a circle of light made by the pink shaded lamp on the piano, was holding the violins. With a smile full upon him, she slowly lifted the flowers and for a fraction of a second buried her face in their sweetness. He looked at her as Jacob looked at Rachel when his seven years of service were ended. When the chance was given them for a moment alone, he seized not only the chance, but, unrainful of possible damage to claifon ruffles, he likewise seized the girl. The right words came at last. For six months, he said, he had longed to tell her, and to ask her.— "But, Tom," she gasped, "you haven't yet—" Her protest was smothered, and he lost no time in finishing what he had to say, reaching the climax by demanding an early date for their wedding. "But, Tom, dear! you haven't—" Mother entered softly, in time to hear her daughter in a strangely muffled voice answer, "June." Mother was an astute woman. She withdrew softly, but a listener might have heard her pious ejaculation: "Thank Heaven! The New Year promises well." The dying hours of the old year passed in the merriest dance the Griswold home had ever known. The bells pealed forth their welcome to the glad New Year, and the party, grouped with mother in the midst, waited breathlessly. With a becoming maternal tremor in her voice, Mrs. Griswold announced the betrothal of her daughter to Mr. Thomas Wentworth. In the small, small hours of that New Year's morning, Tom switched on the lights in his own room. "After all, it was not so very difficult," he murmured. But just how easy it had really been he realized when he picked up from his desk the letter of proposal, properly sealed and addressed, but unde- livered. Return to the "good old times," would you? Then rise on a cold morning and wash at the pump, pull on a pair of rawhide boots that rival a tin can in stiffness, pull on a woolen shirt over your back and sit down to a bare meal with your three legged stool dancing around on a slipshod floor, eat corn pone and bacon for a steady diet and labor 14 hours out of 24. Go without a daily paper, a fly screen, a mosquito tube, a spring mattress, a kerosene lamp; ghee-haw your oxen to market and sit on the floor of an ox cart as you wend your way to church or a frolic. Parch corn and peas for coffee and use sassafras for tea, and see how you like it.—Arlington Record. AND I GAVE HIM THESE SLIPPERS ON CHRISTMAS! The exercise of Brown's New Year resolution.

Sir West - Ridgeway, until lately governor of Ceylon, returned to England from that country in a German steamship.

The colonial secretary explained that Sir West was allowed to take his pet dog with him on the German ship, a privilege the English ships had denied him. A. Great Outside Remedy Most pains are of local origin—a "crick" in the back, a twinge of rheumatism, a soreness all over arising from a cold—are all cured by outside applications. The quickest, safest and most certain method is Allcock's Plaster, known the world over as a universal remedy for pain. They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap. You can go right ahead with your work while the healing process goes on. Sixty years' use has given them a great reputation. Return in Age to Childhood Attention has recently been called to the curious fact that the shells of certain animals, such as cephalopods, brachipods and some bivalves, are commonly marked by retrogressive changes as age advances. "The old man returns to second childhood in mind and body," states a well-known scientist at Washington, "and the shell of the cephalopod has, in old age, however distinct and highly ornamental the adult, very close resemblance to its own young." NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE "Phin" Had His Own Reasons for Most Peculiar Action. Some years ago there lived in the village of Vienna, Me., a man by the name of Phineas Jones, commonly known at "Phin." Among other faults, "Phin" had an unfortunate love for something more fiery than soda water. On one occasion he had driven to Augusta, about 20 miles distant, and during his day in town had imbibed more than was good either for his equanimity or his clearness of brain. Returning at nightfall to the livery stable where he had put up his outfit, he undertook to harness his own horse, to the delight of the stable boys. He managed to get the harness on, after much trouble, but when he undertook to place the horse between the thills, he led her in with her astonished face toward the dasher. One of the stable boys, convulsed with laughter, called out: "Here, Phin," hadn't you better turn your horse "round" "Phin," in no mood to brook interference, faced the boy with maudlin dignity, and, steadying himself against the wagon-wheel, repiled, solemnly: "Young man (hic), prapas you don't know (hic) which way you go!*n* MUST GUARD THE TRADEMARK. Cubans Register Them and Demand Royalties from Owners. Americans who seek to do business in Cuba are confronted with a peculiar variety of peculation—appropriation of trademarks. The department of commerce and labor issues a warning to all manufacturers who have any thought of exporting goods to Cuba. If they do not immediately register their trademarks, others will. Speculators are using the trademarks of popular American goods, and the manufacturer of the genuine article when he enters the Cuban market finds himself compelled to buy out the speculator if he wishes to market his wares under the proper name. When the speculator registers a trademark he has a hold on the American manufacturer, and he may demand and collect any price. In some instances speculators holding the Cuban rights to trademarks of American manufacturers have compelled the manufacturer to pay them a royalty. It is therefore essential that Americans protect themselves by paying the $12.50 required for registration and thus prevent the confiscation of their trademarks.

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
