TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 2. PRETTY BLOUSES M. The first illustration shows a bodice of a lawn dress, it is made on a lining to which the vest of tucked muslin and insertion is stitched. The lawn fronts are tucked on the shoulders, and are edged with two rows of embroidery. The under-sleeve is turned up below the elbow with a cuff edged with embroidery. The over-sleeve is trimmed with insertion, and is stitched on after the actual sleeve has been sewn on. The second is in pale blue zephyr, tucked on the shoulders, and trimmed each side the center box-pleat with open work embroidery insertion. The cuffs are finished with insertion, edged with pleated lace. The sleeve is trimmed with embroidery, the plain part of the center pieces being tucked, the edge of the side embroidery being laid over the plain. The sleeves are arranged in the same way. The deep pointed collar is of plain muslin, edged with a frill of lace. IN UNION HONOUR SUCCESS The first illustration shows a bodice to which the vest of tucked muslin and are tucked on the shoulders, and are ed under-sleeve is turned up below the elf.

Bolero in New Style Easily Made Up in Crochet Work. This useful little wrap is quite easy to make. Any kind of wool and a suit- able hook (tricotter) may be used. If Andalusian and a No. 12 hook, about five ounces of wool will be required. Work a chain (< 15 inches; on this chain work plain tricot for seven inches. Work off each stitch separately like double crochet for eight inches, and the remainder of the row in tricot as before. Work two more short rows of tricot like the last; on completing the last row make as many chain-stitches as will bring the work to its original length. Continue working long rows as at first for 22 inches, or more if for a stout person. Work off the same number of stitches for the armholes as before, repeat the short rows and work a second front to match the first, each stitch of the last row to be worked off separately like double crochet; fasten off. Fold the fronts over, and sew or crochet the shoulder pieces together. Work a row $c^2$ double crochet round the armholes, taking up the back top thread and the thread which lies immediately below it; this will counteract the tendency to curl which the tricolt-stitch generally has. Last row: Work a double crochet in the first of last row, pass one, a treble in next, $^*$ five chain, back into first, another treble in same place as last, repeat from $^*$ twice more, pass one, double crochet in next, and repeat all round. Work this last row all round the oolero, using the double crochet row for the fronts if required. The Use of Braid. There are white broadcloth costumes braided in black, but these are rather tee conspicuous to be favorites with women who have but few gowns. It is thought more desirable to braid a dark costume with a light colored braid in order that the braid may be removed at some future time and the gown worn with a contrasting coat. THE GAZETTE Two Preparations That Will Do the Work Effectively. Wings are much more difficult to clean than are the softer feathers, such as ostrich and marabon. You might cover them with a cream made from naphtha and French chalk, allowing it to dry on for a day, and then brush off. A slight improvement from an application of common starch can be made with cold water and laid on very thick. The paste should be allowed to be come quite dry, and perhaps this process might answer for your wings if they are not too much soiled. In regard to the parasol, you might get rid of the grease spot by laying on hot French chalk. This will dissolve and absorb the grease. Repeat the process if necessary. Next, the para-sol should be opened and then thorously washed with gasoline and white scap all over its surface, more particularly on the soiled places. Afterward sponge off with clear gasoline. By going over every part of the parasol there will be no danger of spots or streaks, and gasoline will not harm it. Keep away from fire or artificial heat during this process. What Is to Be in Fashion. It is quite in keeping with other tendencies that sleeves should cease to give breadth to the shoulders as figures must not be made to look top heavy. Whatever fullness some of them retain is restricted to that part of the arm that comes immediately below them. Millennials are even brought to book with respect to the exceeding size of their hats which, it is urged, do not suit the new mode in dresses, but as yet I see no signs of their being moved by any such arguments. Walstis continue to be made more or less short, but there is no particular care taken to make them look small as with the hips. On the other hand, throats must be made to appear long and slender. Not only are collars made as close-fitting and high as possible, but they are invariably finished by a ruching of lace or net—a fashion which in the long run comes expensive as they have to be continually renewed.—The Dry Goods Guide. New Curtain Material A new drapery material that is quite inexpensive—19 cents a yard—is extremely pretty and cool-looking. It is not unlike a fine scrim or a cotton volle as to background, and is printed in all the prettiest colorings, floral, conventional and stripes. It is called Arabian cloth, and will be charming fashioned into window curtains and other draperies required for summer use. In this material a dull ceru ground in a design of tullips is beautiful, and not less so, though more subdued, are the conventional effects in pastel tones. - Tight-Fitting Petticoats New petticoats are sold for the latest sheath dresses and they are made on the circular plan, so that there will be no fullness either at hips or knees. Of course, those who wear the sheath dress most correctly wear no petticoats whatsoever, but with thin dresses such as women of America wear, at least one petticoat is a necessity, and when it is made in the tight-fitting style it does not much interfere with the sex of the graceful gown. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. PROPER USE OF BALLOT! GEORGE W. CABLE SAYS DO NOT LET ANY PARTY THINK IT OWNS YOU. DR. BUMSTEAD POINTS THE WAY Taft Agrees With the South in Disfranchisement, "Jim Crow" Cars and the Brownville Matter—He Also is in Favor of the Elimination of Senator Foraker. Although Rev. Horace Bumstead, D. D., after a service of 30 years in the cause of the higher education of the Negro, resigned from the presidency of Atlanta University last year, his devotion to the cause of education and his efforts for the uplift of the race have in no respect abated. His interest and activity continue and he is all the time doing those things which place the race under new obligations to him. He contributed an article of permanent value to the Evening Post (N. Y.) of April 25, 1808, on the "Handicaps of the Negro Race," the Independent, June 11, 1908, containing a poem on "The Ballot as a Whip." The latter article is of current interest. Dr. Bumstead begins by quoting from George W. Cable this advice: "Do not let any political party feel that they are always sure of your vote," and endorses the advice. He then proceeds to record the fidelity of the Negro to the Republican party, and to show the change, which has taken place among the leaders of the party concerning the protection of the Negro. In this connection he says: Conspicuous among these leaders is the most prominent Republican candidate for the presidential nomination, Secretary Taft, a man possessing an unusual equipment in many ways, a presidential office. He has been a conspicuous representative of the do-not policy as regards the Negro. He has even condoned the disfranchisement of the Negro in the south, and called it "a step forward," because not so bad as "open violence." He has endeavored to improve his position in the south, involving the virtual exclusion of the Negro from party counsels in that section, and has spoken to southern audiences about the Negroes as "a class of persons so ignorant and so subject to oppression and misleading that they are merely a stature of manhood," adding that "their voice in the government (even when not suppressed) secures no benefit to them." And then there is the Brownsville affair and the joint responsibility of Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt, who is the most of the colored soldiers. That it was a joint responsibility is clear from Secretary Taft's report in December, 1906, in which he elaborately defends the president's action as just and necessary, and also reveals the fact that the president's order was preceded by and based upon (too many) concurences in Gen Garlington's recommendation that the soldiers be dismissed. The situation confronting the Negro today, then, seems to be this: The Democratate party has robbed him of his rights. The Republican party has acquiesced and refuses to help him. Neither party has any claim on him. The Republican party has denied whatever debt of gratitude he owed the Republican party has long since been paid. If both parties have sinned against him, the one by oppression and the other by abandonment, he has reason for regarding the Republican party as the greater sinner, being the one for his actions and the entrenchment, and the one to which he has given a generation of support. If the Negro finds in this situation good ground for using the ballot as a whip, to be laid on the back of the greatest sinner of the two parties, he has many good precedents to justify his position. The Negro in York have repeatedly elected governors by a similar use of the ballot, and presidents of the United States have been elected in the same way. The English "suffragettes" are today seeking to punish the Liberal party on the same principle. Indeed, there are many who are punishing somebody—a party, a faction, a candidate—does not find a place among the mixed motives of the voters. And it is an entirely legitimate motive in certain political crises. The rebuke of wrong doing is sometimes more important than the approval of a candidate. The affection of false political friends may, sometimes be worth while, even at the cost of supporting declared political enemies. If the Negroes of the doubtful northern states should help to defeat Taft and elect Bryan, one no one would misinterpret the meaning of their vote. The Republicans would not be likely to let things happen second time. The Democrats would cease much to retain their new allies. If the ballot of universal or general suffrage means anything for the self-protection of suffering or endangered classes in a state, it means that Negroes may with the same propriety use the ballot as a whip for the guarding of their civil and political rights as Jews or Germans or Irishmen who are oppressed or imprisoned manufacturers might use it to protect their industries, or laborers to protect their labor. And of all the interests for which the ballot is supposed to afford protection to the weak, none are more fundamental or more sacred than civil and political rights. But some Negroes agree with those of their white friends who discourage agitation for their rights and advise the policy of patience and waiting for their rights to come to them by and by. Does it follow that such Negroes agree with those of their white friends? Republican ticket at the next election? By no means. They have discharged their debt of gratitude to that party. If then, they are to eliminate the motive of racial self-protection, why should they not choose between the parties as all other people choose—judging men and measures and policies on their merits and voting accordingly? Why may not Negroes have diverse opinions on the tariff, the currency, the regulation of trusts, socialism and territorial expansion, as well as white people? They do have extensively than many people believe, so the sold south and the increasingly unsympathetic north have created a situation that has prevented their free expression. If, then, some Negroes decide that they do not care to use the ballot as a whip to safeguard their rights, let them still remember that they are free to vote (wherever they are not a whip to either men, and to choose between parties according to their best, judgment—Alexandria (Va).

Child Journeys 10,000 Miles Benton Harbor, Mich—Ida Baccash, a black eyed, curly haired child of eight years, stepped off a steamer from Chicago Monday, having journeyed alone 10,000 miles from Damascus, Syria. The child's trip was the more notable owing to her having been stranded without friends in Marseilles, France, a Syrian who had offered his protection to the little girl having robbed and deserted her at Marseilles. Appealing to the proprietor of her hotel, the child succeeded in having word of her predicament sent to her father, who was then in New York, and additional funds were promptly sent her.

The plant was started, the officers say, in response to improved business conditions. Death Overtakes Horse's Friend New York City. To very few men does fate offer an opportunity for such sacrificial heroes as she recorded James Farrell, a humble driver, Monday night, whose body now lies in the front room of his home where on the wall hangs the blue ribbon awarded him by the Society for the Prevention of Crucify to Animals in the work horse parade May 1 last for being the most careful driver in New York.

WHARTON, Socialist Candidate for Congress in the Eighth Ohio District, on Socialism—A Real Friend of the Race. Kenton, O., July 22, 1908. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I see by your paper that you advise the colored voters to vote for Debs, the Socialist, if they can't stand either the Democratic or Republican nominees. Now, I want to state that one who works for a living and understands of what Socialism consists and will not vote for it, would be a curiosity indeed. Socialism is the greatest thing that ever came down the pike for the colored race and they should be taught of what it consists. Now its simply all hands going in together and owning the world, and operating all the industries of the world. Now the answer to the benefit of the workers. The working men built Cleveland, but do not own it. The workingmen built all the railroads, but own none of them. Each colored man would be a full partner of each white man and if he so cared would have a government job, steady eight hours a day, till he arrived at the age of 60, then a penman job, steady eight hours a day. Now the aaron man produces about $2,500 per year, and to offer each colored man a steady job of this kind is certainly giving them a chance; and to get this just by putting your X in the third circle instead of the first as heretofore seems to me the solution of all the race feeling that may or ever has existed. And I want to say that any person who wants to be a traitor that ever the colored race has met. And especially a colored man who fails to vote himself and his race into actual freedom. Yours for the brotherhood of man and a dose of genuine religion. TONI Edison to Gratify Ambition. New York City.—Thomas A.

He will devote his remaining years to investigate anything that strikes his fancy, without regard to its financial productiveness. Would Desert at First Opportunity.

Work on the new church building is to commence "in a few days," writes Father Demby. Very little has been said in the newspapers of this country about J. B. Taylor, the Afro-American athlete of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of the Irish-American Athletic association, and carried off the honors in the flat 400-meter race, in the Olympic games in London. His was the first black face to show in the contest, and he won his race with so much ease that the result was never in doubt. His style was so graceful and performance so easy that he won the united applause of the 40,000 spectators in the final heat. Taylor won with as much effort as by good margin as he did in the first life. His was himself to be an athlete of the first and not only our people but all of America should rise to salute him. The qualified announcement of Congressman Burton that he aspires to the toga now held by Foraker has brought forth growls and barking all over the state. The Foraker strength will fight Burton to the last. Anybody else must accept the acceptance. The controlling forces in the organization must not for Burton, whose support of Frank Hitchcock for national chairman, among other things, still rankles. Harry A. Daugherty of Columbus is a real factor in the senatorial situation. That he will control votes in the next assembly is certain. Burton is the last man who will get any support from Daugherty a determination that is stated with emphasis. And more than that, Burton is a Cuyahoga, in the person of James W. Holcomb, poaching on Burton's preserves—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Though it is seeking improved means, the south is still growing cotton in the primitive manner. The ancient terraces, curving about the hills of upper Georgia and Alabama, follow the same lines as those they occupied a generation ago, and true to them the terraces are still being worked with which the Negro works has maintained each year over the same furrow, turning the soil one way this spring, the other way the next, and never mixing in or disturbing the underlying and the adjacent earth. Here there is need for a change. The trouble with the south is now a double one—the absence of labor, and the need of diligence. The Negro has suited directly at the end of the war, when the Negroes, turned foot-loose, became an irresponsible and roving band, whom, even to this day, it is impossible to engage for a full crop season with any certainty that they will appear when needed. The greatest result of this has been to break up large holdings into small farms. The Negroes, generally black, but often white, who farm them on half-shares of cotton as in the old days. Instead, the land is divided into one-mule and two-mule farms, and these are let out to tenants, generally black, but often white, who farm them on half-shares of the crop. The landlord furnishes the land and house, the tenant produces the crop, and the land is evenly divided. Good supervision is as difficult to secure as good labor.—The August Delineator. THE FACTS AS TO MARIE BOLDEN How some Negroes can be satisfied with the shadow instead of the substance is exemplified in the persistent claim of some of them, that Marie Golden is the champion speller, because she is a Negro, and still retains the badge given her in the Hippodrome that memorable day. The fact is Assistant Superintendent Warren E. Hicks' "revision" credits Marie with one error and Ethel Cook and Maude Lesmer, white girls, who also have badges, with NONE, thus giving the championship, the substance, to Ethel and Maude, while the SHADOW, the badge, is permitted to remain in the possession of Marie. No! the Negro has not the championship, the substance; he has nothing but the now meaningless badge, the shadow, which Marie's parents ought to promptly consign to a sewer in honor (?) of Mr. Hicks' "revision." The following from the Cleveland Daily Press of July 6, 1908, is pertinent: Error. *Marie Chew Bolden* 1 *Ethel Cook* 0 *Lennard Lerner* 0 Ethel Cook..... 0 Maud Lesmer..... 0' There should never have been any "revision." It was contrary to the clear understanding prior to the N. E. A. spelling "bee;" but there was The results were published not only in the local daily papers but were sent broadcast over the country and are now generally known. Therefore, for us to continue to claim a championship taken from us, is ridiculous, to say the least. Relative to and in justification of the revision Superintendent Hicks wrote the editor of The Gazette, under date of July 11, 1908: "Any contention for revision was based on the good name of all the sixty children who spelled." etc. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY.

He handed the beggar a half-dollar, for the pathetic old fellow had made a moving appeal, and was about to return to his pocket the other coins in his hand, when one of them slipped through his fingers and started to roll down the sidewalk. by the young lady presiding over the order desk that a copy of Huckleberry Finn was on the library shelves, he had her make out a slip for that classic. He thought to get his Huckleberry and take it with him—he was in a He saw that it was his pocket-piece, a louis d'or with the image of the Grande Monarque, and made a hasty dash for the coin. It escaped him and shot away at accelerating speed down the sidewalk and just inside the flagstone. He lengthened his stride and made another dash for the coin. Some small silver spilled from his hand, but he let it go and followed the elusive Louis XIV. Suddenly the gold-piece struck a ridge in its downward path and shot around the corner of a public courtway. Baxter followed. He heard a laugh at his amusing predicament, but did not look up, as his blood was aroused, and he was bound that the coin should not escape down some hole or cranny. At about three-fourths its length, the court lifted a bit, retarding the speed of the coin, which finally swerved in its track and rocked along the flagstone, to reel at last like a very drunken Louis into a doorway, where it lay in the corner, half-propped against the footboard. Baxter stooped and picked up the coin, and as he arose to a standing posture, a small, neat brass sign met his eye. It was set into the door before which the coin had come to a standstill, and it read: The courtway or narrow street down which the golden louis had led him was wholly new to Baxter, and as he looked about he saw a couple of ladies across the way smiling at his late predicament. He would step into Rexford's and recover his serenity. He opened the IBRAI "Huckleberry Finn!" He Ejaculated door and lighted himself in a large, well lighted room, fitted up more like a ladies' parlor than a library. Where were the books? He could not see any, and the patrons—all ladies, it would seem—that came and went while he gazed around nonplussed did not bring nor take away any object that could have been mistaken for a book. "This is something new," comment on Baxter, mentally: "Must be a bookless library." Fancies of a new idea in libraries floated through his brain. Perhaps the books at Rexford's were not printed volumes, but phonographic records, and all the patron needed to do was to write, not to cylinder the latest popular novel—the record made by the author himself—take it home, and place it on a phonograph, and science, the mother of convenience, would do the But all this was hypothetical, so he looked about. On the wall near him was a neat typewritten list, headed: "The Six Books Most in Demand by the Patrons of the Rexforth Circulat- Library, for the Month of September." His eye ran down the list. "Third-rail alive!" he murmured, "what kind of ladies patronize this library?" For the list read: Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler. Shakespeare's King Henry The Fifth. Last of the Mohicans. Meditations of Aurelius. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary. Huckleberry Finn. He shut his eyes and tried to puzzle it out, but the more he thought the deeper was his confusion. He studied the ladies waiting to give their orders for books. They all were stylishly dressed, and seemed cultured and well-read. His eye returned to the typewritten list on the wall. "They're classics, all right," he wanted, "But such classics!" He got up and went over to the secretary's desk. He would join the library and learn something. He was handed a leaflet which informed him that the monthly dues were ten dollars, the members having the privilege of drawing each month two books in class one, three in class two, four in class three, and so on! a fine of two dollars a day being imposed for a book kept overtime. Baxter whistled mentally. "The books must be bound in vellum and gold-tooled!" He laid ten dollars on the secretary's desk, and after a little telephoning, by means of which his references were authenticated and approved, he was entered in the books as a member of The Rexforth Circulating Library, and credited with one month's paid-up dues. He did not remove the sealed wrapper from the catalogue that the secretary gave him, but upon being assured For the list read: TH GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. AUGUST 8. 1908. by the young lady presiding over the order desk that a copy of Huckleberry Finn was on the library shelves, he had her make out a slip for that classic. He thought to get his Huckleberry and take it with him—he was in a hurry to have a look at the binding of the volume—but the young lady calmly informed him that the book would be sent around to his address that afternoon by the first delivery. If he would turn to rule seven in the catalogue, he would learn that such was the delivery regime of the library. "Very well," he said, and left the binding. By following downward, a short distance the narrow but well-paved courtway, then turning to the right along a similar courtway, thence to the left and again to the right, he emerged upon a busy, familiar street, where a number of carriages were waiting, no doubt for patrons of the Rexforth Circulating Library. That afternoon a parcel bearing the stamp Rexford was delivered at Baxter's club room. It was of mammoth dimensions for a book, and he began to fear that the librarian had blundered and sent him, instead of a modest octavo by Mark Twain, a folio Shakespeare, if not the ponderous Johnson's dictionary itself. So he nervously undid the wrapping, and there lay before him in a neat paper box a lady's handsome skirt, with some manner of fuffy pink trimmings or floures, he didn't know which. He poked gingerly at the dainty garment. "Huckleberry Finn!" he ejaculated. Then a great, big truth leaped up in Baxter's mind, like the grimming face of a jack-in-the-box, and hastened the catalogue he had received at the library, he turned to H. Bracketed with the title of Huckleberry Finn was the description of a lady's fancy ball skirt. His eye ran over some other book titles, with the things in ladies' dresswear bracketed against them. Then he sat down weakly. The Rexrox Circulating library was a woman's dress-renting establishment, where ladies, by paying a certain monthly sum, could "draw" stylish dresses for temporary wear. Each dress, skirt, waist, or hat, bore the name of some well-known book—a kind of code arrangement for privacy, brevity and convenience—and upon examining his library card Baxter found Mrs. prefixed to his name, the secretary, no doubt, having been under the impression that he had acted for his wife in joining the R. C. L., for that establishment made its appeal exclusively to the gentler sex. NEW PAINT DRYS WET ROOMS. Engineers Believe Old Roman Secret Has Been Discovered. A discovery which promises to revolutionize the building and decorating trades and to be of vast importance to the shipping industry has been made by Inspector Simpson of the Blackburn (England) fire brigade. It is a liquid, and the principle of which, after tests extending over many months, has been pronounced by leading engineers to be an old Roman secret, which has been lost to the world, 100 years ago. When painted this liquid the damp room comes absolutely dry, and freshly plastered walls, after treatment by it, may be at once papered without damage to the paper. No ironwork painted with it can rust, and it completely prevents that "weeping" of the inner skins of iron ships, which causes so much damage to cargo. When applied to the bottom plates of ships it not only prevents oxidation, but allows no marine growth, barnacles or other parasites to attach themselves. It consequently preserves a glasslike surface, which the discoverer asserts will add several knots to the speed of Atlantic liners and warships. Here they come at me again for preventives of baldness. How many times must I repeat that no kind of soap should be used on the hair or head? Now here is the last call for dinner, as the dining-car waiter yells: Know all women by these presents: Avoid all fancy soaps. You never can tell where the fats come from. By no means apply a soap of hard soap to your hair. You can never wash it out. It solidifies on the scalp and causes no end of trouble. If you must use hard soap of the fancy kind, convert it first into light suds and wash your hair with the suds. Then stand under a shower and stay there until every particle of the suds is washed away. Then go out and sit in the swing until the pure air blows all moisture away. The hair being dried, apply pure olive oil and rub it in hard. And quit using stink-sweets (so-called perfumes) on your hair to render it fragrant. Gods!—New York Press. The World to Come. A distinguished German scholar who had devoted his faculties to what he claimed to be the demonstration of atheism came consistently to his death bed. He was prepared, he said, to prove out of the expiring sparks of his own life that it must become a quenched and blackened flame. He observed the processes of dissolution calmly, with the long habit of the scientific method. Friends, themselves unbelieving and unhoping, stood about him, waiting to catch the last flicker of defiance from a soul to its God. For some hours he had lain unexpectedly silent and with eyes closed. He had very dark, large eyes, piercing and powerful. Suddenly he opened them, and from their caverns shot out a fire before which the coldest scoffer in the room shrank back. With a loud voice the old scholar cried out: "There is another world!" and fell upon his pillow, dead—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. The Hairless. Practical Fashions LADIES' WRAPPER.

They have in England a society for "the employment of reserve soldiers," and some ladies connected with it have taken the trouble to train the ex-soldiers for servants, and, it is said, with remarkable success. The men who have been the officers' servants are most sought for this purpose, and they are said to like the work in the house, and, although old, many of them are quite strong. Merely a Suggestion. During the dinner hour on board a steamer the other day a passenger was much disturbed by the vulgar way in which the man who sat next to him ate his meat. At last, after watching him pick a bone in a very primitive fashion, he could control his feelings no longer, and turning to the offending party, he said: "Don't you think you would be more comfortable if you took that out on the mat!" -Tit-Bits.

"From the age of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owen's life was made intolerable by eczema in its worst form. In spite of treatments the disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. He used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep and the agony he went through is quite beyond words. The regimental doctor pronounced the case hopeless. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases ever admitted. From each he was discharged as incurable. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but had gotten almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly marvelous and to-day he is perfectly cured. Mrs. Lily Hedge, Camblewell Green, England, Jan. 12, 1907." WAS TOO MUCH FOR PAPA Childish Questions Were Becoming Entirely Too Personal. There is a member of the faculty of George Washington university, who, to use the words of a colleague, "is as rotund physically as he is profound metaphysically," says the Philadelphia Ledger. One day the professor chanced to come upon his children, of which he has a number, all of whom were, to his astonishment, engaged in an earnest discussion of the meaning of the word "absolute." "Dad," queried one of the youngsters, "can a man be absolutely good?" "No." "Dad," put in another youngster, "can a man be absolutely bad?" "No." "Papa," ventured the third child, a girl, "can a man be absolutely fat?" Whereupon the father fled in continuity. Near Dead. The ship doctor of an English liner notified the deathwatch steward, an Irishman, that a man had died in stateroom 45. The usual instructions to bury the body were given. Some hours later the doctor peeked into the room and found that the body was still there. He called the Irishman's attention to the matter, and the latter rised. "I thought you said room 26. I wint to that room and noticed wom of them in a bunk. 'Are ye dead?' says I, 'No,' says he, 'but I'm pretty near dead.' So I buried him."—The Wasp. WONDERED WHY Found the Answer Was "Coffee." Many pale, sickly persons wonder for years why they have to suffer so, and eventually discover that the drug—cafine—in coffee is the main cause of the trouble. "I was always very fond of coffee and drank it every day. I never had much flesh and often wondered why I was always so pale, thin and weak. "About five years ago my health completely broke down and I was confined to my bed. My stomach was in such condition that I could hardly take sufficient nourishment to sustain life. "During this time I was drinking coffee, didn't think I could do without it. "It After awhile I came to the conclusion that coffee was hurting me, and decided to give it up and try Postum. I didn't like the taste of it at first, but when it was made right—boiled until dark and rich—I soon became very fond of it. "In one week I began to feel better. I could eat more and sleep better. My sick headaches were less frequent, and within five months I looked and felt like a new being, headache spells entirely gone. "My health continued to improve and today I am well and strong, weigh 148 lbs. I attribute my present health to the life-giving qualities of Postum." "There's a Reason."

Had three proposals last night and I don't know which one I ought to accept!" An Improved Climax. They wanted an original closing episode for the great melodrama. Ordinarily the baffled villain walks away with a flippant sneer and the sheriff meets him at the left upper exit. But this was old and crude. So the playwright set his wits to work with the following result: Just as the villain uttered his farewell curse the low-comedy servant rushed forward and after smiling him over the head with a suet pudding, violently pushed a custard pie in his face. "Waste no sympathy on the wretch, my darling," the hero remarks to the rescued heroine; "he has received only his just desserts!" Quick curtain.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

I could not enjoy my meals, and could not sleep at night. I had heavy, dark circles about the eyes. "My friends were much alarmed.
