THE PROPER THING IN DRESS AND THE CHEAPEST NEW DESIGN FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR WEAR If you are going to spend the entire day at home it is obviously extravagant to put on a cloth costume which, complete with the coat, has been designed for outdoor wear, or to don some trailing elegance of velvet, which with fur jacket does its duty in your friends' drawing-rooms, or the clubroom of your latter-day fancy. It has been agreed that it is only to the matron the luxurious ease of the tea-gown may be granted. For her, of course, the matter of house gowns is simply settled, the fabrics to be face-cloth, velveten, or soft satin, most of the decoration being disposed at the neck or round the shoulders and taking the form of a lace collar or a chiffon and lace vest. Every young girl should possess herself of an indoor gown of velveten, and I would advise for its best conduct that the bodice be fashioned in blouse style, worn unlined over a tightly-fitting underbodice, and belted to comfort through a buckle, or by means of bones at the front and back. This method avoids weight and too much warmth, drawbacks to lined velveten, which renders it impossible for some people, whom I would advise to substitute cashmere or nun's velving. other is of musquash trimm dull gold galon and cern lace styles might be admirably of cloth or in velvet, or velvetteen popularity for costumes for wear grows ever and always. the way, some of the latest short walking costumes are a finely striped velvet trimm silk braid.

And best and most unusual exam I have seen is one of black a crown of black tulle and a tion of aggressive green wing side. This, worn by a girl wi A very pretty house gown is made of cashmere in a red currant shade, the bodice front and back bearing a plastron of lace, crossed into pointed ends at the waist, showing the nun's velling under the arms and on the sleeves, which should reach to the elbows or the wrist according to the beauty of the individual arm which it may be destined to adorn. An admirable way of making a cashmere skirt, than which no better has been devised, is to have three large tucks round the hem, and two more below the knees, and two more above them. The sun-ray accordion-plaited skirts made of nun's velling, has proved a boon and blessing for house wear, but we are becoming a little tired of their charms, which is, indeed, most ungrateful, since they offer such facilities for attractive frocks with no layout, needing only a length of material sufficient to make a bodice, some oddments of lace out of the lace drawer to decorate the bodice to taste. There, then, is the home dress complete, save for the belt, which could be selected either of plain silk or chine ribbon according to the size of the waist to be enriched. Face cloth may, of course, be allowed to make the home gown, but suffers from the same disadvantage as velvetteen, that of too much weight, a trouble which may to some extent be avoided by the omission of all lining. Cloth, of course, wears better than velvetteen, not being liable to suffer so severely round the hem from contact with carpets; for it is the hem of the velvetteen gown which invariably displays its age. An attractive tea gown is shown in our large illustration. It may, however, be more justly described as a dressing-gown than a tea-gown, and I can picture it looking very well in pale blue face cloth trimmed with pale blue glace frills, white embroidery on pale blue glace forming the decoration. The two other pictures show the fur coat under most elegant conditions, the first being made of mole skin with oxidized silver buttons, and a double-breasted waistcoat of suede to match, hemmed with a lighter shade of grey corded silk, while the other is of musquash trimmed with dull gold galon and ceru lace. Both styles might be admirably copied in cloth or in velvet, or velvetene, whose popularity for costumes for outdoor wear grows ever and always. And, by the way, some of the latest very smart short walking costumes are made of a finely striped velvet trimmed with silk braid. A newtivity which deserves mention is a white cloth blouse covered with an embroidery in silk and chenille, other woolen blouses are of fine canvas, and others, again, of cashmere, but on the score of economy none of these can be cordially commended, for they suffer very severely from a visit to the laudress or cleaner, usually turning yellow, and the blouse made in shirt style of white China silk may be relied upon for greater durability. The latest cry in hats is the fur cap. Its most popular trimming is a glistening green bird at one side; other decorations are rosettes of dull gold, small round bunches of flowers, or a waving paradise plume. Amongst the best and most unusual examples that I have seen is one of black fox with a crown of black tulle and a decoration of aggressive green wings at one side. This, worn by a girl with a pleitiful mass of dull red hair, is specially successful. In our smaller illustration we show an original and effective costume in dark green cloth. It is made in princess form, the slightly draped folds of the corsage being apparently held in place at either side by a series A Novel Design in Faced Cloth and Silk Braid. of cloth-covered buttons, while, of course, have a chemise and little under-sleeves of lace. As a bordering to the cloth a touch of the silky braid of slightly darker green, which appears on the skirt hem may be added. This braid figures again on the coat, and is finished off with hanging ornaments of silken cord, and as to a hat it should be of green felt, either trimmed with ostrich feathers or with a cluster of coque feathers curving from a rosette of velvet in front, and drooping right over the crown on to the hair at the back.

Discharged Troopers Cannot be Barred from Federal Employment — Spooner and Foraker Talk. Washington, D. C.-President Roosevelt's message to congress Monday on the Brownsville affair was quite lengthy and included another report from Secretary Taft as well as the evidence gathered by Assistant Attorney General Purdy and Max Blockson. The president declares that the evidence is positive that the outrages of August 13 were committed by some of the troops that have been dismissed, and that some or all of the members of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry had knowledge of the deed and have shielded the guilty ones. The troops are referred to by the president in his message as "midnight assassins," and he declares that very few, if any, of the soldiers dismissed "without honor" could have been ignorant of what occurred. That part of the order which柄 the soldiers from all civil employment under the government is revoked by the president. This clause was lacking in validity. The discharged troops, in the hope of fewer barred from re-enlistment in the army or may if he has his way), and as to this the president says that "there is no doubt of my constitutional and legal power." Well, we shall see! Others will settle this particular point in the end. The testimony of 14 "eyewitnesses" is given, and the president declares that the evidence is conclusive that the weapons used were Springfield rifles now used by the United States troops, including the troops who were in the garrison at Brownsville. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. In his message he says: In his message he says: "The testimony of the witnesses of the position of the bullet holes shows that 15 or 20 of the troops gathered inside the fort and that the first shots fired into the town were within the fort; some of them at least from the upper galleries of the barracks. The testimony further shows that the troops came out over the walls, some of them perhaps going through the gate, and advanced a distance of 300 yards or thereabouts into the town. During their advance they shot into two hotels and some nine or ten other houses. Three of the private houses into which they fired contained women and children. They deliberately killed Frank Natu, the bartender, shooting him down from a distance of about 15 yards. They shot at a man and a woman, Mr. and Mrs. Odnin, and their little boy, as they stood in the window of the Miller hotel, the bullet going less than two inches from the head of the woman. They shot down the lieutenant of police, who was on horseback, killing his horse and wounding him so that his arm had to be amputated. They attempted to kill the two policemen who were his companions, shooting one through the hat. They sat at least eight bullets into the Cowen house, putting out a light on the dinning table, the Mrs. Cowen and her five children were in the house, they at once threw themselves prone on the floor and were not hit. They fired into the Starck house, the bullets going through the mosquito bar of a bed from 18 to 20 inches above where little children were sleeping. There was a light in the children's room. The facts did not merely warrant the action I took—the rendered such action imperative unless I was to prove false to my sworn duty. If any one of the men discharged hereafter shows to my satisfaction that he is clear of guilt, or of shielding the guilty, I will take what action is warranted; but the circumstances I have above detailed most certainly put upon any such man the burden of thus clearing himself." Senator Foraker, in commenting on the message, said that it and the new evidence adduced only strengthened his contention that the discharged soldiers should be given a day in court when they could confront their accusers and cross-question the witnesses against them. Purdy's Examination One-Sided. "This new evidence," he declared, "all its ex parte, was taken behind closed doors, and the accused were not given representation by counsel when the witnesses were examined." Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, who ranks as one of the ablest constitutional lawyers of the senate, took the floor late Monday afternoon and began a speech which he concluded Wednesday. He paid a high tribute to our GAZETTE. race, dwelling on the efficiency of our soldiers and pointing especially to the fine record of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Turning to the legal phases of the question at issue, the senator argued that the senate was disbarred from making any inquiry as to the legality or constitutionality of the president's action in the matter. If the president had exceeded his authority, he declared, it would be highly improper for the senate to take any action by way of an investigation of that phase of the subject because the senate would thus prejudice the question which it might be called on to hear as a response to his question. It is Senator Spooner who has evidently been "coaching" the president along these lines' expression. Beside the senator and Lodge, of Massachusetts, the president's defenders in the senate are from the south. TILLMAN SQUIRMS Is Flayed Unmercifully — A Sharp Scalpel used to Do the Good Work. Washington, D. C.—Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, Tuesday administered to Tillman the most severe and caustic chastisement that the infamous Negro hater and lynching advocate has had to endure in all his rough and tumble senatorial debates. Mr. Spooner unmercifully flayed the South Carolinian, pointed with accusing finger at his advocacy of unlawful acts, and grilled him to a turn. Tillman did not take his beating gracefully. He squirmed and protested, and only by the exercise of the greatest self-restraint did he hold his tongue in court. Several times he attempted to reply to the lashes laid on by the Wisconsin senator, but Mr. Spooner declined to yield the request. Walking to the center of the table, looking directly at Tillman at the climax of his speech, Senator Spooner said: "The man who preaches lynching who advocates violence and disregard of law, will have much to answer for. The higher his office the more he will have to answer for. It will becomes the senator from South Carolina to beate the president for discharging without honor this battalion, when the senator comes into this chamber from a lynching bee or from justifying one." There was a dramatic pause, during which every person present held his breath in thrilling expectancy. But nothing happened. Tillman crouched down into the depths of his chair, scowled, but attempted no reply. Tillman said he would reply later to the "insulting references" made to him by Mr. Spooner, who concluded his speech was a brief discussion of the race question, docharing his best that he did not entertain the radical views which had been expressed by Senator Tillman. He admitted the difficulties and hardships of the race problem in the south, and said the people of the north felt the best way to aid in the solution of these difficulties was for them to refrain from discussing them. In this connection he did not believe the agitation of Senator Tillman could have the effect of quieting the situation. Mr. Spooner quoted a newspaper report of one of Senator Tillman's lectures, in which he referred to the Negroes as baboons, and said when he was told that he "could to hell with such laws." Mr. Spooner said he knew of no better way to perpetuate the struggle between the two races than to be constantly and violently declaring such trouble to be imminent and unavoidable. DISCRIMINATION The Metropolitan Insurance Co. Resorts to Dirty Subterfuge to Save Its Face. I read in The Age of Dec. 27, an article on the action of the Metropolitan Insurance Co. directing their agents in the matter of insuring Afro Americans. I wished, if possible, to learn the truth of the matter, and started an investigation and learned that it is an order of the company not to refuse an application made by a Negro, but such application will have to be presented to the office and by them sent to the directors or managers and it will be their privilege to reject it. That shields the company and the agent. You can readily see that the agent will not solicit Negro patronage as there will not be any premiums for them and the rejection of the application of the officers will debar the Negro from being insured by any other company, unless we start one of our own. The agents have a written order from headquarters telling them what to do; so do not be fooled by false reports. They claim that statistics show that the Negro race dies three to one of the white race.—N. Y. Age. THE FUNNIEST VALENTINES. Sald a Celt to his colleen so fine, "Begary, I'm your Valentine."

A GRAND EFFORT! Senators Astounded as Lodge's Arguments Were Simply Riddled by Our Champion. Washington, D. C.—Not since he became a member of the senate ten years ago has Senator Foraker, of Ohio, made such a profound impression upon that body as he did last week Monday afternoon during the debate apropos of the dismissal of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry as a result of the "shooting up" of Brownsville, Texas. He made a reply to Senator Lodge, who undertook to prove that the president was within his legal and constitutional rights when he ordered the discharge of the battalion without giving them an opportunity to defend themselves before a court-martial. Mr. Lodge had prepared his speech with great care and deliberation and with the assistance of some of the high officials of the administration. But when Mr. Foraker arrived in Brownsville, with it the arguments which the faction demanded, advanced struck one as being absurd sophistics. With a nice effect and effectiveness which excited the admiration of his colleagues and the crowded galleries, he took up each argument of Mr. Lodge and annihilated it. When Mr. Foraker finished speaking after occupying the floor nearly two hours, it seemed that he had convinced a majority of the senate that the president had exceeded his power in dismissing the battalion. Senator Lodge had cited what he declared were precedents for the president's action, but one by one Mr. Foraker undertook with evident success to prove that they were not pertinent to the Brownsville case. He even produced a letter from the army stating the records of the department contained the precedent whatever. Never was a senator ordered to send a case to the senate. He cited decision after the decision of the United States supreme court in support of his position and read from the laws, the constitution and the army regulations in his effort to convict the president of transcending his authority. By the time he concluded for the afternoon it was evident to everybody that the administration had made a serious tactical blunder in putting forward Senator Lodge as its champion. The Massachusetts man is not in Mr. Foraker's class as a lawyer or as a debater, and one could not escape the conviction that he left the administration's case in worse shape than it was before. Whether the president will have any other senator come to his defense is not known, but it would hardly seem possible for even Mr. Foraker to have been able to do the body, to repair the damage done today. Mr. Foraker made the senate fairly gasey by the fearlessness with which he discussed the president's course. He showed no reluctance whatever in speaking his mind freely, and by indirection indicted the president for trying to assume autocratic powers. While in the midst of his effort to demonstrate that he had disregarded the plain mandate of the law, the senator exclaimed with great dramatic effect: "Is the president over and above the law? Can he ignore it because he is charged with its execution?" Then, in order to drive home the point he was making, he quoted from a decision of the supreme court in which tribunal explained how the president was as amenable to the law and constitution as any private citizen, and that a suspension of the constitution, even in time of war, "leads to anarchy and despotism." The senator was never more eloquent or more forceful, and it was a terrific indictment he brought against the chief magistrate. Much of it appeared in The Gazette last week. Senator Tillman's speech of last Saturday was a characteristic tirade directed against both the president and the troops, which did no good and about the same amount of harm. Tillman is certainly a first class nuisance if such a condition exists. The Senator Will Speak. New York City.—When the banquet committee of the Ohio Society of New York called upon Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, in Washington, D.C., and asked him to deliver the principal speech at the gathering of this week Saturday night, he said he would consider the matter. Then he added, "You know, gentlemen, that I am a very busy man." "We know that very well, Mr. Senator." Mr. Colgate Hoyt responded, "and that is one reason why we want you. We try to secure for our banquets men who are keeping close to the head of the procession; men who do things. We are very anxious that you should accept our invitation."

After all, the Panama canal is to be dug by southern Afro-American laborers. Good! Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, who is in the Tillman class as far as our people are concerned, will be kept busy for some time trying to clear himself of the charge of "grafting" preferred by the prison board of his state. It is said that Vardaman has been using prison labor. We hope the board will be able to prove its charges. The new secretary of commerce and labor, Hon. Oscar S. Straus, in a recent ruling holds that the federal contract labor law does not prevent a state from bringing into the country all the immigrants it sees fit to. No state can pass a law to this effect, but under his ruling the state authorities can evade the law in the manner indicated. This has caused wide-spread rejoicing throughout the south and will stand until further action upon the part of the department of justice or the federal courts, to the highest of which labor leaders of the country will doubtless eventually fight the ruling. The importation of a large number of aliens for the labor market of the south means a great deal to our people of that section. It will either better or make worse their present condition. We shall see which ere long. THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. Assistant U. S. Attorney General Purdy and Maj. Blocksom's supplementary report on the Browns' "ile, Tex.", riot sent to the senate Monday with another special message by the president, does not afford any material additional light on that now notorious controversy and is not of much more consequence than that of the 21 alleged witnesses first quoted. This Senator Foraker intimates in a newspaper interview of the same day, republished elsewhere in this paper. It took Mr. Spooner, one of the ablest constitutional lawyers in the U. S. senate, a goodly portion of two days this week to do what Senator Lodge was absolutely unable to do, and that was to make the president's defense in the matter seem worthy of serious consideration, and he (Spooner) had to unintentionally praise the Afro-American soldier, especially those of the twenty-fifth infantry, and to "to a turn" one-eyed, vulgar and foulmouted Bent Tillman, to do that. The president's initial backdown under the terrifeous bombardment of Senator Foraker (particularly, of Dec. 20 and Jan. 7) shows that some ground has been gained by him and that more is not only possible, but very probable, in spite of the president's special messages to the senate anent the matter and his recent accompanying exhibit of empty Springfield shells, clips and bullets alleged to have been gathered on the scene of the rioting. Senator Foraker has been able to make the president see and admit that he had no legal right to attempt to bar the "discharged without honor" soldiers from future civil employment, and revoke that portion of his drastic "order." Before Mr. Foraker and the senate has done with the Brownsville controversy, we are satisfied that there will be more backing down admissions and righting wrongs as far as it is within the power of the president so to do, because Mr. Roosevelt has unquestionably been purposely mislead from start to date, from Brownsville, Tex., to Washington, D. C., by prejudiced citizens of that little town, the army and the war department. A SHORT SKETCH A SHORT SKETCH Of Company A, Eleventh Regiment, U, S. C. A.

L., to assist in building fortifications and to garrison that place. On Dec. 19, 1863, embarked on board the steamer Cahawba with the First battalion under command of Maj. J. J. Comstock, Jr., reported in New Orleans Dec. 30, 1863. As they were among the first, if not the first northern Negro soldiers to enter the city, of course like the Brownsville southern fire eaters the N. O. rebel sympathizers did not want them to land. When Maj. Comstock went ashore on official business, some of the "Knights of the Golden Circle" shouted out, "there goes that dam nigger major." Our officer overheard the remark and demanded retractions of the insult offered his men. All regiments have their fighting word. Ours was "Hick THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 19. 1907. ory on the Hill." When the boys heard that from M.J. Comstock they rallied to his side and there was something doing. But before any serious damage was done the bugler sounded call to quarters. The steamer was then anchored out in mid-stream. The battalion was then ordered to proceed to Matogorda Island, Texas, to do garrison duty in Fort Esperanza. April 16 Company A was detached from the battalion to do garrison duty on Musat Island, Texas, where it remained until May 21st, 1864. It then joined the battalion on its way to New Orleans, encamped at Camp Parapet until ordered to Fort Jackson, La., July 3rd, 1864, where it remained until April 10th, 1865, when ordered to Braselton Island, Gen. Canby's headquarters. It was wounded by an oral surrender was made on May 26, 1865, and what hurt the "Johnnies" and hit so hard, was that his escort was Company A, first battalion, Eleventh U. S. colored troops. It is not generally known, but nevertheless true, the confederates gave up to a Negro command. The battalion remained at Braselton until September, when ordered to Camp Parapet, where it was mustered out of United States service Oct. 15, 1865. A few days later we boarded the steamer North Star, bound for New York, arriving on or about Nov. 7th. While in the city we were tended a fine collation and left for Providence, from there to Bristol where we were given a loyal reception and finally mustered out, bidding each other goodbye and leaving for our homes. The Afro-American community was there, "quo bacte," but the "Wm. Lloyd Garrison" of today in the person of Senator J. B. Foraker is still pleading their cause. Come now, comrades, let us heat from you through The Gazette. The official statement of the G. A. R. is that the old soldiers are going at the rate of 27,000 a year. So let us hear from each other while we last. One important member of Company A must not be overlooked or left out —our camp dog was a small puppy when the company left Providence, R. I. strapped to Sillas Lyons' knapsack and returned with the regiment a full fledged Vet. in line. He would always be found on the right of the line, long roll, and dress parade. He was there with his company. ANDREW McSPADDEN, Perry O. Private Co. A. 11th U. S. C. A. H. Oii City, Pa., News.

"I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. I have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by its use according to directions. I use it as a preventive whenever threatened with an attack. I am of cowardice also use it for like aiments. We are recommending it to our friends." —Chas. W. Bowman.

Thousands of men work all their lives at securing the banks of the great Yellow river in China. Yet every now and then the tide sweeps away all opposition and the loss in human life is greater than any war ever caused. Nineteen years ago the river burst its bonds. Day after day the torrent flowed, 20 miles to the hour, 30 miles and ten feet deep. The flood has been described as that of five Danubes pouring from a height for two months on end. For 2,000 years the Chinese have been embankging this river. THE FIRST TWINGE Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills If You Would Be Easily Cured. Mr. Frank Little, a well known citizen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In speaking about it recently, he said: "My body was run down and in no condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pained me so terribly I could hardly stand it. My stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nervous and could not bear the least noise or excitement. One whole side of my body became paralyzed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis. I were for sale by all drugstores or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes 22.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenected, N. Y. THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA. Will Open Up Immense Area of Free Homestead Lands. The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to the utermost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaboard. The large influx of settlers and the additional area put under crop have added largely to the grain product, and notwithstanding the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public, the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested in Western Canada to know that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that that railway will do its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settlers during recent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Portage la Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered in eighteen days, is enthusiastic about the country. This will be gratifying to settlers in the Canadian West, even if M. Hays declines to be bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be in a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will be satisfactory to the settlers in that country when the harvest is garnered. The wheat crop of 1906 in Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels, and with the increased acreage which is confidently expected to be put under crop next year, it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, and the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring encouragement to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere. NOT DOOMED TO SECLUSION. Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead Pleasant Lives. The "first lady" in the Austro-Hungarian court is now the abess of the Theresian Convent of the Noble Ladies in Prague, a position which is always held by an archduchess. The Archduchass Maria Annunciata, the present abess, who is a niece of the emperor, has succeeded to the position of first lady through the widowhood of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife of the late Archduke Otto. The noble nuns of Prague live a very different life from what is the usual conception of convent life. They play a leading part in the society of the city and are not even compelled to live in the abey, where each is provided with two rooms and service. Handsome carriages with liveried servants are also provided for their use, and they have a box in the opera. Each noble lady is paid $500 a year, while the abess has a salary of $10,000. When they attend court bails they must wear black evening dress with a ribbon of light blue. Hints for the Pine Lover: The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco Journal gives some hints to those who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks he knows how to smoke a pipe, but to do it perfectly is not easy. "Time is a keynote of successful pipe smoking," says the Journal. "and another is gentleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never get a pipe hot. Keep cool, and keep your pipe cool. You can relight a pipe, and if you are an old smoker you will be all the better for it. When you have finished do not refill a heated pipe." SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. I scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time onward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accustomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accompany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctors in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small doses and a salve. I then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In addition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, "Salve," Ointment, and in some I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. I used "s" — but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment, having previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermilion, S. D. Ak, Aug. 18, 1906." Want Protection for Bread.

Pattern No. 5378.—A smart model for a rain coat is shown in tanned-colored cravanette, the collar and sleeves trimmed with buttons and loops of cords. The back is semi-fitting, the fulness being held in place by straps that button to the side-back seams. The fronts lap in double-breasted style, and close with buttons and button-holes. The coat sleeve is laid in a double box-plait, or it may be gathered into the arm-hole. A fanciful-shaped collar completes the neck. Tweed, covert, homespun and cravanette are all adaptable to the mode. The medium size will require five and one-fourth yards of 44-inch material. Sizes for 32, 34, 36, 38 and 42 inches bust measure. This pattern will be sent to you on receipt of 10 cents. Address all orders to the Pattern Department of this paper. For more information, see the pattern wanted. For convenience, write your order on the following coupon: 5476. 5472. Patterns Nos. 5476 and 5472.—This design shows one of the newest and smartest of the season's modes. The waist closes in the back, and an air of individuality is given by an oddly-shaped bertha that extends down to the waist line in front, but it may be omitted if desired. The skirt is particularly "chic" and is composed of 13 gores, wide and full at the lower edge, demanded by fashion, and close fitting at the hips.

"Well, sah, if yo' please, dess go ahead and flung in yo' predestined pro-ratty, and be done wild it!" a trifle impatiently said good Brother Shin-paw, who was passing the hat. "I isn't got all day to linger whilst yo' premedicates over the mattah. Dess recollect dat de Lawd loves a churful giver, and profawn accawdin." "Yessah! Toe be sho'" pleasantly replied old Brother Bimmelick, who was hesitatingly conning over a 25-cent piece, a dime, a nickel and a copper cent, reposing in the palm of his hand. "Well, uh, den, mu brudder as I kain't no-way contributes ciyu quawtah as churfully as I kin'd injn-headed penny, I dess suits de action to de words, de sey sez in stories, and chucks de cent piece into de' election dat am bein' took up for de heathen, uh-way off yonder some'res, I dunnah whuh."—Woman's Home Home Companion.

Has Seen Much of Life. John Avery McIlhenny, recently nominated a civil service commissioner, though only 36 years old, has put two girdles round about the earth, has killed big game in Africa and has fought in a real (though small) war. Besides being a former rough rider, he is one of the richest men in Louisiana. His pepper farm on Avery Island, Iberia parish, is famous, and so is the huge factory in which he makes pepper sauce. Two years ago the McIlhenny entertained the president's older daughter, now Mrs. Longworth, in their New Orleans home at carnival time and last year the president himself was their guest. Always to Be Depended Upon When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far between, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be depended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES Troglodytic Villages Are Found In Northern Africa. Grottoes and caverns are used more or less as shelters by primitive peoples and thus inhabited caves are of course most frequent in Africa. A considerable number of natives make their homes in caves along the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar and in some of those caves are found the polished stones and arrow heads of the stone age. Troglodyte villages are frequent in the Tebessa territory of Algeria, one of which, at Dieur, 250 feet above the gorge of the Wadi Hallaill, is reached by steps cut in the rock. The inhabitants of the Tunisian Island of Galite are cave dwellers, their habitations being grottoes which they have dug out of the limestone, or ancient burial caverns that they have enlarged. The subterranean villages of Matmala and of Medennie, hewn out of the rock, are in southern Tunisia. A Christian monastery built underground in the twelfth century still exists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enormous cavern discovered several years ago within two hours' walk of the port of Tanga, in German East Africa, contains rooms the roofs of which are from 120 to 250 feet above the floor. Only a few of these vast chambers have yet been explored, for the entire cavern seems to be inhabited by millions of bats. One of these killed with a stick measured nearly five feet across its extended wings. COSTLY PRESSURE. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food, coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—something that is lacking in coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Since my first arrival in America I have held that the real spirit is idealistic and that the average individual American is controlled by idealistic impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or studied the life and read the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincoln's great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which he combined reality and the loftiest ideal, with a thoroughly practical capacity to achieve that ideal by practical methods. This faculty seemed to give him a far-sighted, almost superhuman vision, which enabled him to pierce the clouds obscuring the sight of the keenest statesmen and thinkers of his age—Baron Speck von Sternburg, in Forum.
