Three Smart Walking-Dresses.
Some Charming Styles for Spring.
The first sketch shows a kilted skirt and long coat in navy blue serge, worn with a long waistcoat. The coat can, however, be worn without the waistcoat, and looks really better. The revers, cuffs, lower part of coat and waistcoat are braided in black; silk of the same color is used for lining coat. Toque of navy velvet, trimmed with quills and a rosette. Materials required for costume: 9 yards 46 inches wide, 8 yards silk.
The second is an Empire skirt of Tabac brown face cloth with a deep band of darker brown velvet at foot; the bolero is also of velvet fastened with two gold buttons. Pale blue straw toque, trimmed with brown velvet, and a feather mount. Materials required for the dress: 6 yards 46 inches wide, 5 yards 46 inches wide.
The third is a Princess dress of elephant-gray cloth. The front panel is edged with velvet and trimmed with velvet-covered buttons; the sleeves being trimmed to correspond. The deep yoke is of piece lace, outlined with a fold of velvet. Gray straw hat, lined with rose color, and trimmed with rose-colored ribbon and roses. Materials required: 8 yards 46 inches wide, ¾ yard piece lace, 2 dozen buttons, 1½ yard velvet on cross.

LIKE THE PARTED POMPADOUR
Smart Women Quick to Take Up Fancy Recently Introduced.
After all the preaching about the parted pompadour, it didn't come in until the season was well started. Now the smart women are rapidly taking it up. At the opera, at dinner dances, at the theater, and wherever women gather with bare heads the parted pompadour is the mode of the moment.
It is doubtful if the small roll of hair over the temples could be dignified by the name of pompadour. It stands out little from the face. It is slightly waved, more often at home than on the irons of the hairdresser. The parting is on the left side and the hair brushed away from it in man fashion.
At the right side of the part the hair sweeps down over the brow and across the temples in a large rippling wave. The left side goes back over the ear and is tucked into the small Psyche knot that stands straight out from the head.
Every one thought this parted pompadour would be unbecoming; on the contrary, it is quite attractive and a charming relief from the mass of ruffed and rattled hair that we have been wearing over the brow for years.
Whatever rats or crepes are put into the hair to keep it out now are used at the sides. They must not go across the back except under the Psyche knot.
The correct coiffure adopted by the majority has the hair brushed up smoothly from the nape of the neck to the knot itself. There is no bulging out or sagging down. It is a clean Grecian sweep, usually held in place by a wide barette.
A charming revival of the "Marie-Antolmette" coiffure of tulle edged with pearls.
Ventilate Raincoats
If the raincoat proves too overheating, a circular row of button-holed eyelids may be worked under the arm and a second row on the under section of the sleeve. If kept far enough under, there will be little danger of their showing, and they will do the ventilating act successfully.
The excessive closeness of the raincoat is distressing whether worn with a coat or without one.

HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST.
Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used with Excellent Results.
The girl who wants a pretty house gown at small cost is buying the silk and cotton fabrics that take the place of organdle and other thin materials. These are often flowered in charming colors and also made up in polka dots and fine self-covered stripes.
The girl who makes her clothes at home can handle this material quite easily. She wants a one-piece frock of it slightly curved in at the waist, fastening down back and cut out in a slight square at neck.
Below the square she insets a piece of embroidered fillet net over white chiffon, or uses a color, as she prefers. Above this she puts a narrow band of lace.
The sleeves are half way to elbow, fit the arm, and are finished with a frill of lace and a bow of ribbon. There is quite a new touch in arranging this elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace is used around the inside of the arm, then a double plait at the back that is five inches deep and has a wide square satin bow at the top.
This is much prettier than the old-fashioned way of gathering in a lace frill of one width.
Physical Culture to Save Figure
Physical Culture to Save Figures.
New York young women of society have entered with ardor upon a new system of physical culture, with a view to adding harmony to their figures and preserving them from irregularity of line. They have placed themselves under the instruction of an actress who retains her physical symmetry, though she is no longer young. This woman points to herself as proof of the efficacy of her system. It embraces the varied use of elastic devices of various size and weights. These contrivances are used in many ways, the work being graded with a view to individual needs. Medicine balls of graded sizes and weights also are used and the teacher also puts her pupils through vigorous movements of arms and body, which bring all the muscles into play.
To Freshen Black Clothe
A woman who has worn black for years says she keeps her clothes fresh with a mixture made as follows:
years says she keeps her clothes fresh with a mixture made as follows: Buy five cents' worth of borax and ten cents' worth of camphor gum. Put them into a large bowl, breaking the camphor gum into small pieces. Pour over this a quart of boiling water, stirring to dissolve the borax. All the camphor will not dissolve. When cool put it into a bottle and cork tightly. When ready to use it pour a little into a basin, diluting it with the quant of cold water. Wet a stocking with this and sponge your black goods pressing afterward. This will remove all spots and grease and restore the black.
A New Veil Pin.
The butterfly has made its appearance again in the form of an ivory pin that clamps the vell to the hair brim either back or front. The clamp is worked by pressing to gather the wings. The ornament is pretty, simple and does not detract from the color scheme of a hat.

A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
Showed Practical Friendship, When I Was Needed, for the Ninth Ohio Battalion During the Spanish-
Cleveland, O., March 12, 1909.
Major Charles R. Miller, Century Bldg., City.
Dear Sir: The impression prevails pretty generally among the 4,000 Afro-American voters of this district, that you favored separate camps for Afro-American veterans of the Spanish-American war, or some other discrimination against this class of Americans, in a meeting of Spanish-American war veterans at Washington, D. C. Boston or elsewhere, in recent years. I have some remembrance of something of the kind, but it is not clear, and may not be correct. Will you please oblige me with a statement of facts as to the matter at an early date? I am moved to send you this communication because the matter has been brought to my attention repeatedly in recent weeks by loyal local Afro-American voters. If I hear from you from Wednesday of next week, it will be possible to publish your reply in the newsletter of The Gazette with this communication.
Yours truly,
HARRY C. SMITH.
Major Miller's Reply.
Cleveland, March 13, 1909.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor The Gazette—Dear Sir: I have your favor of the 12th inst., calling my attention to the impression prevailing among the Afro-American voters of the district that I favored the organization
Mai, Chas, R. Miller.
of separate camps for the colored veterans of the Spanish-American war. Permit me to say that the same is absolutely without even the foundation of truth. I never favored any such a proposition, never even thought of it and never made any such a recommendation. I might further add that I have always been prepared to fore the national organization even for consideration. At the request, however, of the colored veterans of the state of Virginia I did recommend at the Washington encampment that they be permitted to organize a separate department of state organization and I did this only at the request of Comrade Brown, who, on the floor of the Washington encampment, asked for such authority, and at the conclusion of his speech the encampment granted such authority. Personally, I have never thought that any distinction between men should be made, by reason of color or position in life. My own ideas are, that all men should be made to be colored people, what they have done, what they have accomplished in life; in other words, that each man should be measured by himself and what he is. I know of no broader or more humanitarian viewpoint from which to look upon mankind. As to the way I have responded to the colored people can simply say to you that I have always employed them in my family. I have for a number of years employed a colored man as janitor of a block that I own and while in the service during the Spanish war I caused the men to be attached to my brigade, because their relations with the brigade to which they had previously been attached were not pleasant and the boys were so well treated that they forwarded a petition to the corps commander, requesting to be permitted to accompany our brigade in foreign service. I have always been prepared to through your paper to correct any wrong impression which your people may have, and thanking you in advance for calling the matter to my attention, I remain.
Very truly yours. CHAS. R. MILLER.
A Candidate for the Congressional Nomination.
The last of this month a special election will be held in the Twenty-first Congressional district to fill the vacancy made by the elevation to the senate of Hon. Theodore E. Burton and inasmuch as this district is normally Republican he will undoubtedly there is a lively contest for the nomination on the Republican ticket at the present time. Among the four candidates in the arena is Major Charles R. Miller, lawyer, author of legal text-books, and military officer. From the foregoing, one can readily see at a glance that he is a man of experience and knowledge. Major Miller, a cousin of President McKinley, was elected in 1858. He studied law under William and Abner McKinley. After his admission to the bar, he came to Cleveland and went into the office of Estep & Squire. In 1880, he opened an office
for himself in Canton. Three years later he married a daughter of ex-Mayor W. G. Rose of this city. In 1901 he settled in Cleveland with his family, and is a member of the law firm of Weed, Miller & Nason, Mr. Miller was a major and a member of the general staff of the Second army corps. Spaniard, he was a judge advocate general of the Spanish-American War Veterans, and commander-in-chief of the organization. In 1896, Major Miller was a presidential elector and acquired quite a reputation in stump speaking as an orator. He is a Mason, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Loyal Legion, the United Spanish War Veterans, the St. Louis Towers, at the bar, too, he possesses an enviable reputation. He has the best qualifications for representing the important and fast growing industries of this district and is much favored by the manufacturing interests because he knows their needs. In his platform, these are some of the imminent harbor, and a larger merchant marine. Local merchants and manufacturers have stepped forward in a very decided manner in indorsing Major Milton. They would like to see him Mr. Burton's successor in the very strong, open letter to the voters, he is indorsed by a large number of the big merchants in the city, and he will well Robert S. Pierce, J. J. Wemple, Stephen L. Pierce, F. J. Smith, A. S. Upson, J. C. Brainard, W. B. D. Alexander, L. H. Kittredge, Thomas H. White, Thomas P. Robbins and E. F. Van Zandt. In this letter they emphasized the need for a well-qualified for the position on account of his experience and ability, but also is particularly well-fitted, because of his large influence and acquaintance at Washington, D. C., among the lawmakers.
"TEDDY, THE TERROR."
And "Taft, the Timid."-Senators For-
aker and Dick—A Woman
Speaks!
Moro, Oregon, March 12, 1909.
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: "Enclosed
please find a money order for three
dollars for two years' subscription to
The Gazette. Pray forgive me for
rejecting to send it sooner.
So "Teddy, the Terrery," is gone, big stick, loud voice and all (if there is anything more of him) and "Taft, the Timid," rules in his stad. A change for the better (it could hardly be worse). "Hile there is no hope of imitation," he says of South, in rest of the Union I think he will to placate them, by being very good. I believe the old abolition sentiment is roused as it has not been for years and he will try to conciliate it. The protective tariff people will watch him closely and he dare not offend them. They are too strongly enticed to support the military. His cabin is both good and bad. Knox and Wilson are very good. Pity he could not find a Republican to be secretary of war. That place should never be filled by a southern Democrat and ex-rebel, for they have to deal with colored troops. Yet, after all, the support of the Brownsville bill, there is a possibility of justice, and we can wait in hope. Foraker sealed his great unselfish actions with his political life. Yet it almost seems like the angel at the tomb of our blessed Lord, we could say. "Why seek the living among the dead?" his popularity seems to be greater than day than it has been for several years. Foraker will be returned to the senate, if he wishes to go. I am not sure but the Ohioans will feel their need of him so much, that they will draft him, if he refuse to volunteer. Senator Dick is a splendid man. Foraker's friends should be more supportive of his leader in spite of all the bribes Roosevelt could offer and all the threats he could use. He has never failed Foraker once. Let us give him a place in our loyal affections only second to the one we give to our greatest and best. Joseph Benson Foraker.
THE "NEW PARTY'S" CORRECT NAME.
President Taft is ambitious; he wishes to prove that he is not, as many people assumed after his nomination and during his campaign, a mere Roosevelt manikin, or a marlonette, if you prefer this epithet. He is going to form a new party which is to reconcile the discordant elements of the two great national parties of heretofore. He is going to bridge over what little chasm there is between the two little creeks, to which the former large streams have dwindled. As bridge-builder—he has selected a Democrat of the "ardaman" (that is, the "dwarf") of the northern Democrats of the more sober and sane type like Judge Dunne of Chicago, object to Mr. Dickinson's democracy as principled Republicans protest against the selection of such a man (Democrat) also. Now, years ago, we heard of the Poppocrats (Populist-Democrats!) Suppose President Taft baptizes the new brat, DEMOPUPS (Democratic-Republican). That is the correct name, DEMOPUPS would be a fitter than "TACOR GEERTH."
A Social Function.
Washington, D. C.—The tea gown Sunday evening, March 7, by Miss Lillian Ramsey in honor of Miss Addie Sabb of Cleveland, O. , was one of the many banners displayed at the parlor. The parrons were richly decorated with ferns, palms, and pink roses. The gowns worn by the receiving party were becoming smart and beautiful. Those who made up Miss Sabb were Miss Julia Davis and Mrs. Campbell, Miss Julia Davis and Mrs. F. W. Pettiford.

Afro-American Mail Carriers Dropped.
Macon, Ga.—Developments in the federal postal and revenue service in the central portion of this state seem to reveal a changed policy in Georgia among Republicans with regard to the Taft admittance of non-Americanicans in government offices. A number of Negro mail carriers have been dropped in Macon, and many other changes fully bear out such a view, it is believed here that the Taft admittance of non-Americanicans public interests wherever it can be done for new white forces.
A White Man Succeeds Dr. Crum.
Washington, D. C.—Taft's shameless southern policy began work Saturday, when it was decided to appoint E. W. Durant (white) of Charleston, S. C., collector of that port, to succeed Dr. W. D. Crum. Mr. Durant, like Dr. Crum, is, of "excellent standing," according to reports from leading citizens (white) of Charleston.

fai “BROWNVILLE” LIE NAILED!
Immediately upon the passage of
the Foraker-Aldrich Brownsville bill,
rehabilitating the members of “The
Black Battalion” who may desire to
return to the army, restoring to them
all rights, privileges, etc., lost as a
result of their outrageous discharge
“without honor” by President Roose-
velt, the Washington, D. C., corre-
spondents of many leading daily pa-
pers throughout the country, con-
tinued their shameful policy of decep-
tion and prevarication in the Browns-
ville matter, by boldly announcing a
lie, to the ‘effect that the soldiers,
Companies B, C, D, of the Twenty:
fifth infantry, were required by the
bill as a law “to prove their inno:
cence,” in order to secure re-instate-
ment in the army and all other bene-
fits, including the wiping from the
army records of the disgraceful dis-
charge “without honor.” In a recent
letter, touching upon this very thing,
Senator Foraker wrote:
“There is no ground for the slight:
st apprehension that such an un-
‘American and unauthorized require:
ment will be made as that any one
shall prove his innocence.”
__ In spite of the senator's public refu-
tation of the lie, we have yet to see
‘@ daily paper that has corrected ite
willful misstatement. Here we have
another of the many striking illus.
trations of the necessity of our peo-
ple’s reading regularly, at least one
‘of our own good newspapers. It is
from them only, often, that the truth,
as to matters of importance and even
Se a aN ee i
TRAITOROUS “POLITICAL” SCUL.
LIONS.
In a letter for publication, received
this week from our Xenia correspon-
dent, Mr. J. M. Summers, the follow-
ing occurs:
“The more bad treatment thie white
man gives the average Negro, the
better he likes him. This Is strange,
but it is true. And that is the one
great reason why the Negro does not
command more respect than he does.
You cin see the Negro, now, making
ai. Kinds of palliating excuses for
President Taft's southern policy.
‘The average Negro is born without
courage or foresight, and when. it
comes to contending with the whites
for his own rights, he ‘falls down’ and
‘throws up" his hands every time. ‘To
him, everything the white man does
Is right”
Not only the “average” Negro, but
many of those above the average, are
unfortunately open to the same
charges. Almost every day the spec-
tacle is presented of some more or
less prominent member of the race
posing in the limelight as an apolo-
gist for Taft's un-Republican, insult
ing, shamefu) and disgraceful south-
‘ern policy, with a view solely to as
‘sisting to boost himself into a polit
{cal job somewhere. ‘This is particn-
larly true of prominent Afro-Amert-
jeans in and about Washington, D. C.
and throughout the south. IU Is not
‘only an outrage upon the race but
‘also upon decency. Would to God
that we could rid the race of such
despicable hindrances to its growth
of self-respect and to its progress.
‘AS TO TAFT’S SOUTHERN POLICY
As The Gazette predicted several
weeks ago, the Afro-American fed-
eral officeholders in the south are
being supplanted by white men. Dr.
Crum's successor, a member of that
race, has been appointed, and an-
nouncement comes from Washington,
D. G,, to the effect that Postmaster
Wilson of Florence, 8. C., Collectors
Deveaux of Savannah and Rucker of
Atlanta, Ga,, Joseph Lee of Jackson-
ville, Fla., and other Afro-American
federal office-holders in that section
of the country, including letter-car-
riers and mail clerks, will also soon
lose their jobs to members of the
other race. This is in accordance
with President Taft's oft-expressed
southern policy, and is no surprise ex-
cept to those of the race who refuse
‘to accept his recent statement rela-
tive to his recent determination not
to appoint Afro-Americans to. south-
ern federal positions where there is
objection to them. This, of course,
means ALL of the south because pre-
fudiced whites of every part of that
section will see to it that the objec:
tion necessary is always forthcoming
even if it Is necessary to manufac:
ture it by those (Democrats or “Re-
publicans") who want the offices.
‘This is even worse than President
Roosevelt's southern policy, “referee”
system and all. When it is consid-
ered in connection with President
Taft's appointment of Secretary of
War Dickinson, a southern Democrat
and exrebel, who is not only proud
‘of his membership in a confederate
veteran's camp but also of his ‘“Var-
daman” Democracy, one will haye'no
difficulty in understanding just where
we, as a race and a potent factor of
She Repablican party, “are at.”

Taft Approves Disfranchisement.
Baltimore, Md.—One portion of the
inaugural address of President Taft
has caused much jubilation among the
ring Democrats, who are anxious to
establish a political oligarchy in Mary-
land through the ratification of the
disfranchisement amendment. They
are putting forth the claim that Presi-
dent Taft has in the most public man-
ner possible put his stamp of approval
upon the Straus (state disfranchise-
ment) amendment.
“THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE
LANGUAGE,” said a leader, “used by
Mr, Taft in his address, when he said:
“The exercise of political franchises by
those of his race (the Negro) who
are intelligent and well-to-do will be
acquiesced {n, and the right to vote
will be withheld only from the ignor
ant and irresponsible of both races.”
“Here you. have,” continued | this
leader, who is high in the councils of
the organization, “AN UNEQUALI-
FIED INDORSEMENT OF THE

Dorando Pietri Takes Rubber Match
from Johnny Hayes at Madison
‘Square Garden.
New York City.—Before 16,000 spec-
tators, a large majority of whom
were kis countrymen, Dorando Pietri
last night defeated Johnny Hayes in
the rubber match for Marathon su-
premacy at Madison Square Garden.
‘The race was at the regulation dis-
tance, 26 miles 385 yards and was run
over a tenlap track. Both men were
in excellent condition and Dorando
proved himself to be the master of
Hayes at the game of long distance
running.
From the starter’s gun to the end of
the race the Italian led the American
boy, throughout being spurred on by
the cheers and plaudits of his emo-
tional countrymen. In the seven-
teenth mile Dorando started a heart-
breaking sprint which Hayes was un-
able to follow, and before half a mile
had been run the foreigner had gained
a lap. Again in the eighteenth, after
he had taken a breathing spell, the
Italian again set out at a pace Hayes
‘was unable to follow.

The: mogul engines which were
stalled in the recent blizzard out west
do not appear to be worthy successors
of a certain Hercules engine which cut
@ noble figure in the English blizzard
of 1836,
‘To appreciate the role played by the
Hercules some idea must be given of
the effect of the storm on other meth-
ods of travel, Fourteen mail coaches
were abandoned on as many roads.
Another was dug” out of drifts five
times between Exeter and London.
Another was buried so deep that it
took 200 men, principally sappers and
miners, several hours to make a pas-
Sage to the coach and rescue the mails
and passengers, while near Chatham
the snow lay to a depth of 30 or 40 feet,
the military being turned out to the
unmber of 600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten fect
deep and hundreds of men and carts
were employed hauling snow out to tie
fields in the suburbs, The markets
were in a bad way. One day only four
stall holders were able to reach a main
market. Greens which a few days be-
fore the storm were being sold for
{hree pence a bunch at market, now
fetched from ten pence to.one shilling,
turnips, carrots and celery becoming
equally dear; while one penny handfuls
of parsley realized two shillings six-
pence, andthe happy possessor of a
bunch which he had previously pur.
chased for ninepence realized for his
prize no less a stm than £1 2s 3d.
Amid all this confuston the pioneer
railways covered themseives with glory
by running trains almost without inter-
ruption. ‘There wag a deep cutting on
one line where the sow had drifted
badly and, according to the Queen,
great numbers of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would get
along. They imagined, of course, that
she would be stopped, but to thelr as-
tonishment the engine dashed right
into the drift, “clearing her way
through apparently without the slight-
est difficulty, the snow at the same
time flying over the top of the engine
chimney like foam from the broken
waves of a violent sea, and notwith-
standing obstructions the train came
down from Greenhead (20 miles) in
pne hour and a quarter.”
When a Tooth Is Not a Tcoth.
In Seattle last year a man was
charged with and trled f6r practicing
dentistry without a license, Bach par-
Uoular plece of evidence necessary to
make out the case on the part of the
state was proved, except that the
prosecutor, having procured the pros:
recuting witness to exhibit his botched
tooth to the jury, either forgot or
didn't think it was necessary to ask
the witress if ft was a natural or an
artificial tooth, and s0 lost his case.
It seems the statute made it a misde
meanor to mend a “human tooth” for
fee without a lcense. Now the sen-
sible presumption—the presumption
that men er judges would naturally in:
dulge in if they had not become im
bued with the passion of peering for
loopholes—would be that the tooth
was natural and not artificial. But
we presumed that, thé aw would
cease to be an “exact” science, ahd
many gaping spectators on the back
benches would be deprived of the Joy
of watching to see which lawyer eame

When we first began our wonderful_work of growing all kinds, all

hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that Such
a thing was possible: but we have grown the hair for fundreds, ‘raplaly

Electrical Snow Meter. A Berlin scientist advocates the use of electricity for clearing away snow. He claims that the method is cheaper than the one now in vogue. The apparatus consists of a platform, on to which the snow swept off the roadway is shovelled, and beneath which are a series of pockets formed of thin metal kept hot by electrical radiators. The snow falls from the platform into the pockets, and is discharged as water from the hoppers. The platform may be mounted on wheels for transport to various parts of the town, and may be stationed near the street drains, so that the water can run off, or the heaters may be erected at special depots, to which the snow is conveyed. The requisite current may be taken from the town mains.
Real Grief.
"Jones is an honest fellow, and not a bit mercenary."
"What makes you think so?"
"I saw bim weeping because his rich uncle died."
"Yes-if his uncle had lived another week, he'd have pulled off a deal that would have added $1,000,000 to his estate."
WHAT WIFE SAYS "GOES."
But It Sometimes Is Bad for the Painting.
When a property-owner knows nothing about paint it is bad for the property-owner, and bad for the painter. It would not be so if the property-owner would always hire a skilled painter, and then really leave everything to him. But the house-owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things.
The skilled painter in every community has some of the most incompetent competitors that ever vexed a conscientious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs generally by working cheap. In the next place, when the skilled painter is hired, they do not leave everything to him, as so many property-owners boast they do. They interfere most ignorantly and most fatally. They insist sometimes on using paint materials without investigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painter's hurrying the work.
"I'm not going to have that painter's mess around my house a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes—at the cost of a lot of wasted painting money.
If the painter stays away a few days to allow the pain to thoroughly dry the owner says: "That painter's neglecting this work—guess he's side-tracking me for Jones' work. I won't stand it.
What chance does a painter have to do good work for man who is continually nagging at him or otherwise capping him (without meaning it, do course)? A poor job is the inevitable result of such interference
Poor painting costs the houseowner money—don't forget that. It might pay you to get the practical paint book, painting specifications and instrument for detecting paint adulterants, which National Lead Co. are offering under the title of House Owner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Address National Lead Co. 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City. This company do not make paint (they leave that to the painter to do) but they make pure white lead ("Dutch Boy Painter" trademark kind), and they can tell you how to save money by securing durable painting.

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE
Some Excuse for His Violent Assault on Managing Editor.
Lina Cavalieri, the beautiful Roman prima donna, said recently of her "beauty parlor" in New York: "Beauty is woman's most important attribute. She who increases beauty is woman's greatest benefactor. Husbands, brothers, even fathers—In their inmost hearts beauty is the thing they desire most to see in their feminine relations."
She laughed.
"Only the other day," she said, "a gray, fat old gentleman entered a newspaper office and said: 'Are you the managing editor?' 'Yes,' was the reply.
"I suppose that on you, then,' said the visitor, 'rests the responsibility for this morning's reference to my daughter Patty as Fatty. Take that!"
DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug-caffeine—In coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks which, when coffee is used habitually, become chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently: "I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee, I consider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children.
"When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep, and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, I decided to quit coffee entirely and try Postum. After using it six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations, can sleep sound and my rheumatism is all gone." "There's a Reason."

WHAT A FORMER OREGON FARMER THINKS OF WEST- ERN CANADA.
Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Oregon, in Sept., 1994, for the great Canadian prairies. To quote from his letter: "I was greatly surprised to find such an immense stretch of rich virgin prairie still almost unoccupied in the very heart of North America. The splendid crops of oats, wheat, barley, potatoes and hay I beheld in the settlements made me very eager for a piece of this rich soil, and I soon located in the Goose Lake country. We have here a great stretch of the rich, deep clay loam of the Saskatchewan—a soil heavy and hard to break, but particularly well adapted for the retention of moisture and production of the bright No. 1 hard wheat, and great crops of oats, barley, flax and potatoes. I had 60 bushels of oats, weighing 441 lb, to the bushel, per acre. Some of my neighbors had still greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. We have all done well here, and I could name many Americans who came here with means to go ahead, who have done big already. For homesteads one has to go further west, but the best prize can be bought here for from $12.00 to $16.00 per acre. The climate is dry and healthy. This is the regular Saskatchewan fall weather—frosty nights, and bright, sunny days—ideal for threshing and hauling out of wheat. The trails are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams are moving towards the elevators.
"The sight of it makes one stop and wonder what it will be in a few years when the immense prairies get under cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the exception here. Snow generally falls in December and goes off in March. It sometimes gets very cold, but the Saskatchewan farmer does not fear the cold. Winter is his season of rest. The first or second crop he builds a comfortable house for himself, and warm stables for his horses. He need not, like some, be poking about in the mud all winter attending a few beasts for a livelihood."

What Alled Tommie.
Tommie was eating walnuts. His mother cautioned him about eating many, fearing they would make him sick. Presently he came in, his hand on his stomach and a very distressed look in his face.
"Those ruts have made you sick, I see. I just knew they would," said the mother.
"They haven't, either," whined Tommie.
"I am not sick; it's just my pants are too tight."—Delincator.
The Grip of Spring.
