Fluffy Accessories Are Just Now High in Favor. It seems as though there will never be an end to the novelties in scars and motor veils that are being introduced almost every day all of which goes to prove that soft, delicately colored scars and wide chiffon and net motor veils, if anything, increase in popularity with each successive week. Most attractive are the newest chiffon scars and extremely easy are they of home manufacture, always a consideration for the woman who would be accorded the title of well dressed on an income distressing small. Formed of chiffon or heavy net, the ends of the scarf are caught, or more strictly speaking, gathered in and finished off with a short tassel or fringe of course sewing silk. The scarf may also be gathered in slightly in the center and a tassel attached at one end, so that when thrown over the shoulders the scarf makes an attractive bit of drapery on the back of the dress, as well as adding to the charm of the front of the gown. THE MATTER OF VEILS. Detail of the Costume That is of immense importance. Nothing can more easily make or mar one's appearance than a veil. If it is put on in wrinkles, it conveys immediately the impression of a wrinkled skin, and adds years to the fair face. If a woman has a naturally heavy jaw, she must resist the temptation of the border veils, and the man—it could never have been a woman—who invented green veils ought to be imprisoned. Brown veils are universally becoming, and the veritable availances of face that now fall from the fashionable hats can be manipulated by clever fingers into any effect what ever! The safest of all is the clean mesh with moderately large chenille spots. To fix it to the hat, always pin it in front first to the brim, then pin the two top edges together at the back of the crown. The ends are then gathered into a knot, so that the lace lies quite smoothly across the face. The greatest care should be taken with the back of the veil, which must meet as nearly as possible, over the In the soft shades of pink, blue, manue, green and, in fact, in all the light pastel colorings, these scarfs are exquisitely pretty, and they are perhaps especially charming made up in the shaded chiffons which are now to be had designed especially for velling for the large motor hats now in vogue. An old scarf of crepe de chine or chiffon can be quite rejuvenated by a bath in naphtha or a thorough washing in lake warm water and ivory soapsuds, and then after being carefully pressed out embellished by the addition of silk tassels at the ends and in the center. SIMPLE AND CORRECT. Simple hat of gray ottoman silk, lined with black; galon of gray and blue embroidery. A Fine Hair Shampoo First, boil a pint of water. Add to this a third of a cake of pure white soap, shaved fine. Boil this until the soap is melted. Pour this mixture into a jar before it thickens and let it cool. To shampoo the hair put a couple of tablespoonfuls of this paste into warm water and when it is dissolved apply to the hair and rub it into the scalp several times. Then rinse the hair well in clear, warm water. To Sew In Sleeves. When sewing sleeves in a garment, instead of gathering them first, baste the underarm part to the garment where there is to be no fullness, then gather top of sleeve and draw shirr thread so as to fit into armhole. By so doing the difficulty of getting the exact fullness in the right place is avoided. THE GAZETTE Detail of the Costume That is of immense importance. Nothing can more easily make or mar one's appearance than a vell. If it is put on in wrinkles, it conveys immediately the impression of a wrinkled skin, and adds years to the fair face.

The ends are then gathered into a knot, so that the lace quite smoothly across the face. The greatest care should be taken with the back of the veil, which must meet as nearly as possible over the back of the hair, and do not let the lower edge fall below the chin. Twisting it into a knot under the chin is abominable. When the veil is removed from the hat it should be rolled over a cardboard roll easily made for the cardboard roll must match either the kat or the trimming. The old rose and the deep red shades in velling give an attractive glow to pale checks. Gold and Brown: One of the combinations coming into first style for indoor gowns is bronze satin. It is used for an empire skirt that reaches to the bust, and above this is a bodice of bronze sequins mixed with gold thread, run on brown net. The bodice is made in the usual way out of bands going around the figure and over the arms. The only touch of any other color is a bit of white tulle at the neck and sleeves. This combination is adopted for elaborate low-necked frocks worn for special occasions. As a rule brown is not considered among the evening colors, but this coppery bronze tone shows off the heavy bullion trimming in an effective manner, and lights up well under the electrics. A Practical Blouse A smart and practical blouse of dark red nun's velling, seen in a shop recently, was laid entirely in tucks from armhole to armhole and closed down the front under a narrow box plait. The sleeves fitted the arms smoothly to the wrists and were tucked their entire length, graduating in size, the widest coming at the top. Ruffles of black chiffon trimmed the wrists and a high collar of dark satin folded, edged with a ruff of black chiffon, lined with white, finished the neck. A narrow cavat tied in a bow in the front, the ends weighted with gold tassels, completed a stylish waist. Prevent Raveling. When you cut off the arms and legs of your flannels instead of making a hem finish off with a buttonhole, you can roll them out, ravelling out and makes it look nicer.

"LILY-WHITEISM" AND CHRONIC FEDERAL OFFICE-HOLDERS IN THE SOUTH KILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! In An "Open Letter" to President-elect Taft, Col. T. M. Bloedget, a Life-Long Republican, Explains the Situation and Tells How to Build up the Party Editor New York Evening Post, Sir: I beg to submit the following open letter to William H. Taft, president-elect: Dear Sir: I have perused carefully your recent address delivered before North Carolina Society of New York. I have been asked to build up a vigorous and aggressive Republican party in Georgia. It gives me no little pleasure to learn that your intention is to so shape your administration and its policy as to aid your unfortunate brethren of the south in maintaining a strong, active and well-organized state. You will be able to nominate city, county, state and national tickets for which the Republicans of the southern states can cast their ballots. If your administration accomplishes this it will have done more than any administration since the days of Grant. An Ohio man completely destroyed the Republican party of the south, and in the wisdom of a merciful and just man to reinstate it. Let me call your attention to the fact that the "Negro" has never had any desire to dominate. This argument is used merely as a scarecrow. The Negro of the south "asks nothing other than an equal chance to qualify himself for the transgender fall to the two races"; that no describings suffrage shall square with the fifteenth amendment"; that these laws shall be "applied with exact equality and justice to the two races"; that no discrimination be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. In handling this southern question you will be confronted by two parties, to-wit: Lily-whiteism and the life-long federal officeholder. I have fought both. Cleveland in 1893 established a rule—so far as Georgia was concerned—that no man who held office under his first administration would receive appointment under his second. Some governors of the state, the appalling feature of Republicanism in the south. From my earliest recollection, and I am now growing old, the same men have held the offices, acted on the executive committees of the party, and served as delegates in national conventions, in many of the state legislatures, and in vice laws. The time is propitious for you to deliberate, consider, and, if possible, solve these problems. Your recent address leads me to believe that you are in earnest and that something will be done. I implore you to take this southern question under your personal advisement, by so doing that you will be good can be accomplished; where you can add new impetus to party action, and through your personal magnetism overcome the obstacles which environs your chances of breaking this solidarity, obliterating sectional lines, and bringing the north and south sides of the country in sympathy and point of view." Every president from Garfield has endeavored to strengthen the party in the south, but each has made the fatal mistake of using the federal patronage for this purpose. It is absolutely impossible to build up a party with federal officeholders, Democrats or Republicans, especially when these officeholders are permitted to dominate and control the party. It can come when the federal offenses must be made subsidiary to the advancement of the party. There are Republicans in this southland who have never surrendered their principles or practiced deception for a mess of potage, who have and can continue to live without government patronage, who have been grossly misrepresented and maligned for no reason but to keep them from wielding a power that would have been the rottenness of southern Republican politics. I desire to see you succeed. but it will be necessary to grapple with these problems before you can appeal with success to the voters of the south to desert the "traditions of their past political affiliations and cast their ballots in accordance rather with their economic and real political beliefs." I trust that I will be able to meet you when these matters are up for consideration. T. M. BLODGETT, Chairman Georgia Republican State league. "FOUL-MOUTH" BEN TILLMAN AGAIN. Tillman is heard from. Abnormal silence had emanated from the Carolina statesman so long that some of us had almost forgotten about him. The red flag of race prejudice, which lost one of its stalwart wavers, was a symbol of the injustice by weary Mississippi, for some time gathered dust in a corner of the national attic. Tillman has brought it down stairs, and again shakes its folds to the winds. The human is afraid of Negro education, a warma the Caucasians of Carolina against taken in by the agitation for compulsory schooling. For poor whites and such it may be a good thing, but for black children, never. If you educate colored children, even in the rudimentary form, you may be white supremacy; you may find yourselves developing a race to kick you about as you have for long kicked the black people about. To give the Negro education is to give him a weapon which will in time be turned against him. And heroically waves the red flag about his head in the Carolina breezes. Which must appear as guff, to southerners as well as northerners. The black man does not desire to rule the white man, either in Carolina or anywhere else. But he does desire a fair chance to work out his own salvation. Give him education and he becomes a man of honor, the white man intelligently in trying to solve the "problem." Keep the rising generation of colored boys and girls in ignorance and the "problem" grows constantly more difficult for the harassed south. Tillman is a monomaniac, and, in spite of his undoubted ability, more or less of a dangerous person, he is not as harmful to the nation; and directly harmful to the south — Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.) KILLED HER WHITE LOVER Shoots Him on the Street After He Had Spent a Joyful Christmas with Another Woman. — Something of the History of the Deceased and the Woman Who Murdered Him. — Crazed by Jealousy and Threatened Desertion — Councilman, Alston. Boston. Mass. — George Rawson (white) age 38, was shot to death Chris'mas night by Nanne M. Estes, who fired four shots, two or more taking effect in his head, putting out his left eye. After seeing that she had done her work well and calmly remarking, "I got him," the woman placed the revolver in a handbag which she carried, crossed the street and assessed the Assessor Joseph P. Lyons, who turned her over to the police officers. Rawson had spent the day with one Clara Shaw a short distance from his home, after telling the Estes woman when he left her in the morning at their home a little distance away that he was going to spend the day with his mother at Central Falls, R. I., where he intimated his intention to work at his trade as a telegraph operator. It is evidence that the woman suspects that she held a soldier for him, enter the Shaw woman's home and waited for hours for him to come out. Then she went directly toward him and asked him what he was doing in the house, to which he made answer, it is said: "I am tired of living with you and don't want anything more to do with you. Mrs. Estes claims that you were the soldier she held for living together as man and wife for nearly four years, and that he was employed by the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. Ry, as a telegrapher and signal man in the tower at Yarmouth street on the Providence division. For two months they had been occupying a furnished room at 60 Dover street.

Foraker has been retired to private life (after March 4). It was ever thus. Any white man who champions the cause of the Negro nowadays will be considered a traitor to his race, and will meet the same fate, if such we may call it. But J. B. Foraker is not dead. His high sense of justice and his commendable courage have surrounded him with imperishable worldwide fame. He is a bright memory of thousands of grateful Arro-Americans, long after those who seek to humiliate him shall have been assigned to oblivion. It is worth more to J. B.

IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER FORAKER'S DEFEAT PLEASES "TEDDY" THE PRESIDENT OVERLOOKED NO STONE TO DEFSAT THE SENATOR IN HIS FIGHT FOR RE-ELECTION. BURTON HIS 'STALK NG HORSE' Candidacy of Charles P. Taft Embarrassed Roosevelt—That Reid Supreme Court Decision—Report of Browne Detective Agency Investigation. Washington, D. C.—Whether or not President Roosevelt acted within his constitutional rights in discharging from the army "The Black Battalion," alleged to have engaged in shooting up Brownsville, Tex., was not determined by the decision of the supreme court announced Monday, according to Senator Foraker. That decision was in the case of one of the soldiers (Reid) who sued for back pay. Practically the only matter taken into consideration by the court was as to whether the amount of money owed to the judge was sufficient to have the supreme court take cognizance of it. This was decided in the negative. On this technicality the appeal was dismissed. TREN SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAKER. Senator Foraker has announced that he proposes to push his bill for the restoration of the men to the army. The judge advocate general of the army has sent in the response to the Senate resolution asking for detailed information regarding the character and cost of the services of Herbert J. Browne and other private detectives employed by the war department to investigate the alleged riot at Brownsville in August, 1906. Roosevelt "Ticked." The withdrawal of Charles P. Taft and Senator Foraker from the senatorial contest in Ohio was received with greatest interest at the White House. The committee that the president was made at the White House, but it needed little inquiry to develop the satisfaction which was felt over the assurance that Mr. Foraker would not succeed himself. Mr. Loeb, speaking for the president, said that the White House had kept its hands off the Ohio senatorial struggle. In spite of this statement, there is little doubt that the president personally and those associated with him were neutral as to Taft and Burton, but overlooked no chance to put a stone in the pathway of Senator Foraker. Bent on Foraker's Defeat. Bent of Foraker's Defeat. The president has made it clear to his friends that the destruction of Senator Foraker, and nothing short of his retirement from public life would satisfy the president. The fight which the Ohio senator made in the Brownsville affair caused President Roosevelt to determine to secure the political antiliballistic policies of the president has been greatly embarrassed by the candidacy of Charles P. Taft, brother of the president-elect, William H. Taft. It will be recalled that Representative Burton has always been one of the closest friends and advisors of the president, and been a strong supporter of the qualities has frequently been used by the administration in his contests with Mr. Foraker and in opposing Mr. Foraker in the state of Ohio. Burton Used as a "Stalking Horse." It will be recalled that Mr. Burton became the Republican candidate for mayor of Cleveland at the solicitation of President Roosevelt, William H. Taft and other Ohio friends of the administration. At that time it was generally supposed that Mr. Burton had an implied promise from the administration that if he would make the Cleveland contest the administration would do everything within its power to forward his senatorial ambition in opposition to Mr. Foraker and it has "delivered." — Ex-Congressman George W.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Was Roosevelt scared of the little girl? If not, what in the world was, or rather is, the matter with the man? See short Washington, D. C., letter elsewhere in this paper. Senator Foraker and President "Brownsville" Roosevelt will both be missed from public life after March 4 next, but in such different ways. It is good riddance in the case of the president. Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Booker T. Washington's private secretary, is entitled to all the praise he is receiving for his successful efforts to secure the selection of Afro-American bandmasters for our regular army regimental musical organizations. The most contemptible publication in the north, in its treatment of Afro-Americans of all kinds, is that disreputable sheet, the Chicago Daily Tribune, a Republican newspaper. It is even worse than the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.) on various occasions in recent weeks. Stop taking the Plain Dealer, if it continues its maligning of our people. If there is a fearless and active white Republican "of the old school" in all the south, who was born and reared there and who understands the situation thoroughly and can explain it, giving remedies worthy of serious consideration, it is Col. "Tom" Bloedgett of Atlanta, Ga. His letter on page 1 to-day is an excellent one, and should be read carefully, generally and thoughtfully, by our people particularly. He is the kind of a leader whoights in the open for right and truth, all the time. It will pay Mr. Taft to haren to the Colonel. SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FOR AKER. A combination of the power and influence of the Roosevelt and incoming Taft administrations was too much for even Senator Foraker and the result is, he has been defeated for re-election to the United States senate. After March 4 next the Afro-American will have no outspoken friend in all the halls of the congress. It is not difficult to guess the result from a race viewpoint. The loss to the best interests of the country will be even greater, as the senator is the greatest and grandest figure in that double-headed august body. As a jurist, orator, debater and STATESMAN he stands to-day without a peer in this country. The only man who "measured up" at all with him was Senator John C. Spooner, who resigned his seat in the senate some months ago, to take up Harriman's railroad legal burdens at a principal salary. Senator Foraker's ability and experience and other exceptional qualities are too great and too generally recognized to permit his being eliminated from public life for any considerable length of time. Mark our prediction! He will come again and soon, stronger and even better if such be possible. It is not in the power of man to kill politically so powerful and except a positive national character unless he dies willingly. No one who knows the senator will for a single moment entertain such a thought as that. He is not built that way; nor are MEN of his calibre. There is but one consolation that comes to us at this time and that is a knowledge of the fact that March 4 this year, thank God! is the day the country gets rid of President "Brownsville" Roosevelt. May his African hunting period be extended many years. It will prove an ever increasing source of positive relief to all in this country who long ago tired of his incessant tom-tom beating, continual "playing to the galleries" and giving the Roosevelt "college yell," "my policies." TAFT AS GUILTY AS ROOSEVELT Our charge, repeatedly made before the last election, that Taft was as guilty as Roosevelt in the Brownsville outrage, is now substantiated by official announcement that the president elect himself while secretary of war recommended the employment of the detectives who "gathered" the recent alleged "Boyd Conyers" evidence against the soldiers. The statement went to the U. S. senate on Tuesday in a communication from Secretary of War Wright, sent in response to Senator Foraker's resolution asking information concerning the employment of Detectives Browne and Baldwin. The message also stated that the government has spent $15,000 in hiring detectives to try to discover who shot up the Texas village and had again signally failed. The text of three successive contracts between the government and these detectives accompanies the re THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1909. port. The detectives undertook to get evidence identifying men who are alleged to have shot up the town and to bring evidence. The first contract was made April 16, 1908, and under it $5,000 was paid between April 16 and May 30, then September 1 a new contract was made, under which, between September 1 and October 10, $5,000 more was paid; finally, December 2, a third contract was made, and under it from that date to January 1, $5,000 more was paid, making $15,000. Secretary Wright says the attorney general delivered an opinion that this use of money was legal under the emergency contingency appropriation of $3,000,000 made in the last sunday civil service bill to meet extraordinary and unforeseen demands. There was also a confidential letter from President-elect Taft, then secretary of war, under date of April 16, 1908, urging the president to make the original contract with Browne and Baldwin. Wonder how those subsidized individuals and newspapers, especially those of the race, feel in the face of this "official" disclosure? It certainly makes a lot of wilful liars of all those who so strenuously denied that Taft was in anywise interested in the Brownville "affray" against "The Black Battalion." Again is The Gazette's position in the recent campaign justified, and fully, too. The president's publication of Mr. Taft's confidential letter to him, of more than a year ago, against Senator Foraker, was no more surprising to most people than is the disclosure of this latest one anent the hiring of those "Browns ville" detectives. The president-elect will now stop writing "confidential" letters, we presume. He certainly ought to. THE REAL ROOSEVELT An Angry Father in an Open Letter Shows the True Light—A.Hok. Notes Washington, D. C., Dec. 31—Carlton B. Hazard, a wealthy Virginian, who lives on a 30-acre suburban tract near Rock creek park, where his young daughter takes daily rides, has sent the following letter to the presidency: "Hon, Theodore Roosevelt. Shr: 'My little daughter Martha, 14 years old, came home about two weeks ago from a horseback ride crying and stated that she had been accosted by you while riding in Rock creek park. She informs me that she unexpectedly came upon your party and guard, and asked you to ride slowly back of you until she could come to the road that would lead her toward home, whereupon you turned on her and asked her if she did not think she had followed you long enough and ordered her to take a side road which would have led her on home, whereupon this and apparently told her she would take the other road, which led her toward home, and did so. "Did you expect my daughter to dismount on meeting you? I cannot comprehend how a gentleman could accost young girls unprotected on a public road with fits of anger. As for my girl, I should take her uneasy usual and if she should be so fortunate as to meet you again I feel confident this communication from me will be sufficient to assure her safety hereafter. "CARLETON B. HAZARD" In forwarding this letter Mr. Hazard addressed it to Mr. Roosevelt as an individual and not as president of the United States. Olean, N. Y., News. Mrs. T. H.

Good progress was made with relief work in southern Italy and Sicily, many soldiers and sailors being utilized, and hundreds of refugees being taken to Naples and other cities. The report of the destruction of the Llpari islands was unfounded. Two more earthquake shocks were felt at Messina. The king and queen were treeless in the work of nidling the suffering. American contributions were steadily and rapidly growing. Taormina, where there were many Americans, was uninhured. A violent earthshock, lasting three seconds, and during which the Stromboli volcano began eruption, occurred on Stromboli island. The houses on the island were badly damaged and the populace fled to the streets in panic, but no one was hurt. Relief measures for the quake sufferers progressed well, Ambassador Griscom taking a prominent part. The Atlantic battlefield fleet arrived at Suez and began passing through the canal in order to reach Messina speedily if needed. Two vessels were sent ahead with supplies. The king and queen of Italy returned to Rome. Congress unanimously voted $800,000 for the relief of the Italian earthquake sufferers, in response to a message from President Roosevelt. Ambassador Griscom at Rome chartered a steamer for the work of aiding the survivors. He delivered to Count Taverna, head of the Italian Red Cross, $250,000 sent by the American Red Cross. The king proclaimed martial law in the devastated district, and Messina and Reggio were ordered evacuated. There was the gravest alarm among the authorities in Italy over reports from Messina that typhoid fever had broken out among the earthquake survivors. Strict sanitary measures were adopted at once in the hope of preventing the spread of the disease outside the districts devastated by the earthquake. Earth shocks were frequent at Reggio and the Canary Islands were shaken. A third shipload of supplies was started from New York. PERSONAL. Former President Castro had a relapse after being operated on in Berlin and his condition was critical. J. Harry McMilan, a millionaire miner, was arrested in Tonopah, Nev., on charges of passing worthless checks. Former President Castro was operated on by Dr. Israel in Berlin and is doing well.

Kelly, a prospective juror in the Ruef bribery trial, to vote for acquittal, was sentenced to four years' imprisonment in the penitentiary at San Quentin. Wanted in Chicago on a charge of embezzlement of monies intrusted to his care for deposit in a bank three months ago, Herman Paley, a theatrical agent, was arrested in Seattle, and admitted his guilt.

With his wife and 12-year-old son as horror-streken witnesses, Rudolph Witte, 39 years old, an electrical worker, was stabbed to death at his home in Chicago by Daniel Rogers, 46 years old, a boarder. Arizona's output of finished copper for 1908 was 274,000,000 pounds, Michigan's 220,000,000 pounds and Montana's 244,000,000.

The court of claims has announced its findings in the case of the state of Oregon against the United States, and awards 200,000 to the state for money expended by it during the civil war in protecting the adjoining territories of Washington and Idaho. In the Ohio senatorial contest C. P. Taft withdrew for the sake of party harmony and his example was followed by Foraker and the minor candidates, leaving a clear field for Theodore E. Burton. The first detachment of homeward bound troops of the American army of pacification sailed from Cuba for Philadelphia. Incubator manufacturers of Nebraska, Iowa and eastern states gathered in Burlington, Ia., and formed an organization, which it is said will control the industry in the United States. A threatening fire broke out in the provincial hospital for the insane at Fairville, N. B. There were several hundred patients confined in the hospital, but jilt escaped. It was announced in Philadelphia that Dr. R. C. Rosenberger has discovered that the tuberculosis germ can be found in the blood long before it reaches the lungs.

George Kayes, clerk at the Fairmont, who is English, but is ambitious to outgrow it, was discussing the endurance contest in Judge Lawlor's court, says the San Francisco Chronicle. "Of course, I know you got your jury system from England," he said, "and so I suppose I ought not to criticise it. But this is a country of progress, and you ought to try to make some improvement." "Suggest one," interposed Attorney General Lauck, who was passing. "Well, you might allow more leeway in the matter of having opinions. Now, if I were a talesman I should not consider it a bar to jury service if I had an opinion. I could lay it aside while the trial was on." "And what would you do with the opinion where it was laid aside?" "I would keep it"—San Francisco Chronicle.

Preston Kendall, the actor, tells a story of a ne'er-do-well in a little New England town, where he has often spent his summers. "I was walking down the main street one day," said Kendall, "when I saw old Silas grinning from ear to ear. I hardly thought that he was glad to see me. So, after speaking to him, I said: 'Why the smile that won't come off, Silas? What has happened to make you so happy this morning? I've been a-git-tin' married this morning,' was the unexpected reply. 'Married! You? I exclaimed. 'Why, Silas, what on earth have you done that for? You know you can't even support yourself as it is.' 'Wall,' said Silas, 'you see, it's this way: I ken purse near support myself, an' I kind of figured out that she could finish up the job.'"

His wife felt it her duty to offer him such consolation as she might, and said: "John, you are about to go, but I will follow you." "I suppose so, Manda," said the old man, weakly, "but so far as I am concerned, you don't need to be in any blamed hurry about it."-Argonaut. THEN AND NOW Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills. "About nine years ago my daughter, from coffee drinking, was on the verge of nervous prostration," writes a Louisville lady. "She was confined for the roost part to her home. "When she attempted a trip down town she was often brought home in a cab and would be prostrated for days afterwards. "On the advice of her physician she gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum, and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast. "She liked Postum from the very beginning and we soon saw improvement. To-day she is in perfect health, the mother of five children, all of whom are fond of Postum. "She has recovered, is a member of three charity organizations and a club, holding an office in each. We give Postum and Grape-Nuts the credit for her recovery." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pks. Ever read the above letter!

A First Cross Old Gentleman—Do you know how far you are removed from a monkey, sir? THE BARONESS' BRUSH By SIDNEY BURNS (Copyright, Ford Pub. Co.) "I t'nk dat de dogs ees running on their heels," said the baroness to her pilot, Capt. Molecule, as the pair pulled up. The pilot squirmed at the words dogs and heels, murmured something inaudibly to himself, and replied: "Quite so, baroness; the hounds are, I believe, running heel." day—one in particular of many—a young, small and very pretty lady, and she stuck closely to the master. These two kept ever on the right of the pack, while the baroness and her pilot, hoping to achieve the chord of an arc, hung on the left of the hounds. The hounds ran very hard, throwing their tongues now and again, and the Then the huntman flashed upon the scene, grasped the situation in a glance, took hold of them and put them right, and galloped ahead with a cheery, "Hoic, together-for-ard-away!" The Baroness de Cruchecasse was popular (with the men) and a liberal member of the Gorseshire hunt; smoked large and long cigars of great price, scaled at least 14 stone, knew nothing about hunting, and rode. Molecule was a horseman and a sportsman to the nails; walked about eight stone—certainly rode under A "I Most Particularly Decide To Be in at Zee Hallah To-Day." "I Most Particularly Decide to Be in at Zee Hallah To-Day." nine. His leading characteristic and pride lay on his admirable (that is, tenuous) leg for a boot. Artfully, and, perhaps, wickedly, posted down wind, at the bottom of the covert the pair had stolen a good start, after a stole-away fox, which silently, they viewed; the advantages of their maneuver being dissipated by the above-mentioned check, which allowed the master and a friend and the body of the field to come up. The huntsman carried his line sweetly for a mile or more, when hounds briefly faulted again. While he was making his cast, the baroness took the opportunity of giving certain instructions to her accomplished pilot. "You will please note, captain," said she, "zat I most particularly desire to be in at zee hallall, to-day—at zee death, as you would say—for tonight, you know, eee zee bal masque at Gorsetown. I shall be inhibit—what you say habited, costumed, dressed—'a Dianna Up-to-Date' (in hunting kit zat ess), and I am determined to effacer—ccraser—those others. And voyez you, I moost have zee tall of zee fox." "By those others" she meant the local ladies of the Hunt, between whom and the baroness there was little love lost. "Myes, I see; just so," replied the pilot. "And in order," continued the baroness, "in order to be quite en quile, it is absolutely necessary that I should have zee tail of zee fox for zee handle of my fan. Mark you well of that, Mon, le Capitaine." Molecule squirmed again. That tail struck him like a fail. He merely answered: "All right, baroness; I'll do my best." Then the order was again "Right away!" Some very pretty hunting and riding and fencing ensued. Everybody was fully occupied with his or her own business. For the time being, "those others" forgot the baroness, who skillfully conducted by her pilot, kept well with the huntsman and the pack, riding somewhat on the left of the hounds, and keenly watching their trend, with a view of cutting possible corners. There was other lady out that day—one in particular of many—a young, small and very pretty lady, and she stuck closely to the master. These two kept ever on the right of the pack, while the baroness and her pilot, hoping to achieve the chord of an arc, hung on the left of the bounds. The hounds ran very hard, throwing their tongues now and again, and the line was of the "large order" variety. The fences were frequent and stiff, the field began to tall. The pack swung right-handed, insomuch that the baroness and her pilot, circling wide, had leeway to make up. Ere long the pilot found that his charge was in trouble. Her mount not quite up to her weight, began to sway and roll and make a noise. As they took an oxer, the baroness' horse landed with one of these pecks, two of which spell grief, and, charging 12 feet of water, down came lady and steed—on the right side of the brook handily. Quickly up again and off, the baroness was enraged to see the master (on his second horse) far ahead to the right, closely followed by that other lady, who seemed to be going strong and well. Her ladship uttered, in her native tongue, some remarks which need not be repeated here. Soon after this a lucky turn to the left and a face-about of some miles let the couple in, but too late. They heard the loud "whoo-woo!" and the label of hounds. When they came up all was over, and that other lady was in proud possession of the brush, which, having been informed of the aspirations of the baroness, the master begged her to thrust under her covert-coat. Meanwhile, the halliaby being cried beside the copse containing the body of a flagitious sheep-dog, the tail of the latter had been secured as a trophy for the baroness, to whom the master handed it with gracious courtesy. That night the baroness duly appeared at the ball, "all smiles," dressed in a glorified edition of hunting garb, and triumphantly bearing on the handle of her fan that she termed "zee tail of zee狐." But that other lady, young and fair, whom the master delighted to honor, also carried a trophy of the chase—the trophy, indeed. And so what Mme. de Crauchcasse dubbed "zee tail of zee狐" everybody else called "the baroness" brush. "I read and hear many pleasanties with respect to the independence of spirit evidenced by female servants in this country," observes a Bostonian, "but I question whether, as a class, they in any degree approach the caputeness of their male co-workers, especially those men servants imported by the rich. "A friend of mine had engaged an English servant at a good wage, and everything was apparently arranged to the satisfaction of the servitor; when suddenly he inquired: "Beg pardon, sir; but am I to wear livery, sir? "Yes. "And what color will the weeskit be sir? "Red. "Red! Then, sir, I cawn't take the place, sir. I'm much too blonde, sir to wear a red weeskit, sir!"—Harper's Weekly. His majesty had been threatened by a drunken vagehond who crowded past the guards. The king promptly knocked him down. "With which of your august fists did you strike the ruffian?" anxiously inquired the king's chief adviser. "With my left," replied the monarch. "Good," cried the adviser. "It would have been sacrilege to use your divine right upon such a low ruffian." And the king laughed and strode along. Long Voyage in Small Boat LONG Voyage in SMALL BOAT.

It is an interesting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography seem to be diametrically opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in one are apt to be backward in the other. A story is told of a little boy who was slow in arithmetic, and whose apparent stupidity in this field was a great source of grief to his father, who had been a mathematician. One day, when the father and son were walking out, they passed a place where a "learned pig" was on exhibition, and the father took the boy to see this porcine prodigy. "Just look at that," said the father. "Why, there's a pig that can count and add up numbers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?" "Ha!" answered the boy. "Just let me ask him a few questions in geography!"—Ideas. HANDS RAW AND SCALY. Itched and Burned Terribly—Could Not Move Thumbs Without Flesh Cracking—Sleep Impossible. Cuticura Soon Cured Hip Eczema. "An itching humor covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, the surface would be covered with blisters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad that I could not move my thumbs without deep cracks appearing. I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep. I could not bear to touch my hands with water. This went on for three months and I was fairly worn out. At last I got the Cuticura Remedies and in a month I was cured. Walter H. Cox, 16 Somerset St., Boston, Mass., Sept. 25, 1908."

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of "Toris" for lame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablepoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. Prepared for the Worst. Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who had many supporters for the Democratic nomination for president, was asked what his attitude on the matter was. "Why," he said, "I can best explain my attitude by telling you about a man I knew out west who went to town one night and imbibed very freely at the various bars. "He was weaving an uncertain way homeward along the road when he almost ran into a large rattlesnake that was colled in the road and rattled ominously. He looked at the snake for a moment and then drew himself up as well as he could. 'If you are going to strike, strike, drat ye,' he said. 'You will never find me better prepared.'" —Saturday Evening Post. Royalty on Exhibition In the eighteenth century the Loneder could look at royalty on Sunday for a modest fee. In a guide to London, published in 1767, it was said: "At St. James' chapel by knocking at the side door and slipping a shilling for each person into the hand of the verger who opens it, you may have admittance and stand during divine service in presence of their majesties; and for one shilling each person more, you may sit in their royal presence, not in pews, but in turn up seats on the side of them." Waiting for His Little Airship The birds were flying south. Presently they espied a lone robin perched on a loft limb. "Come on," they cried, "and join the bunch." But the robin perked his head on one side and shook it vigorously. "What are you waiting for?" they cried. "I'm waiting," replied the robin, "for one of these daffy little airship chappies to blow along and then meb- yI can sneak a ride." A. Long Sleeper.

Senator Tillman, discussing international marriages the other day, said pertinently: "What are we coming to?"
