1810 TWENTY-SEVEN Fine Wedd Fine Wedding Gowns By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. I WAS their own great poet, Teenjamin, who sang of the "plendor dear to women," and, judging from the gowns worn by English brides recently, English women may well have inspired his case. Ivory satin for the wedding gown, and ivory embroidery for the wedding gown by the English woman of social standing and she has a fondness for court trains, silk embroidery and old lace. So much concession is gladly made, to that all-powerful dictum, "it is the custom," which weighs so much with our English cousins and certainly makes for good in many cases. But she allows herself the widest range of variety in the design of her wedding gown and for those of her bridesmaids and her own "going away" the very latest creation of the modiiste is in demand: For the bridesmaids she often makes excursions outside the prevailing styles and garb them in a quaint, and picture-squee fashion of other days. The going away gown is called the traveling gown by these English girls, while our American brides have two distinct types of costume designated by these two terms, as a rule. For us journeys are apt to be long and the going away gown must soon give place to one of severer type and any amount of utility. English girls of the higher classes USEFUL OUTFIT GARMENT. Both smart and useful this coat would be found, made in either cloth, serge or tweed; the panel down front is cut wider from the hips downward, the seams being wrapped and trimmed with groups of small buttons; the back has a panel the same as front; black satin is used to face the collar and cuffs. Hat of felt trimmed with black satin ribbon. Materials required: Six yards 48 inches wide, 1/2 yard satin, 4½ dozen buttons, five yards silk for lining to waist. Stenciling Novelty. Stenciling as a decoration for chafing dish aprons is a novelty. The aprons are bought stamped ready for stenciling, and the designs show a great variety. The decoration may be carried out in colors appropriate to the design, or, if the wearer pleases, in tones to match the rest of her toilet. There are both round and square aprons. Stamping Novelty THE GAZETTE deserve their distinction as high class. They are wonderful girls and to them the wedding day needs all the "pump and circumstance" belonging to so important and joyous an event. In it she celebrates her peaceful victory—the achievement which crowns her days. There exists no doubt in her mind as to the desirableness of marriage. It is the aim of her existence and the beginning of her real life. This she ushers in with such toilettes as grace this page. At a recent wedding the bride's gown was of heavy white ivory satin, lace and chiffon draping the bodice. Her beautiful wedding veil of old lace was worn with a wreath of myrtle and orange blossoms. The whole effect was superb and charming. Her maids wore soft gowns of simple design, large hats and carried bouquets of roses. The liking for simplicity of design appears again in the going away gown and hat, which relies upon its lines and pretty elaboration of details rather than of fabric, for the exquisite girlish effect. Another notable bride who preferred simplicity in the design of her gowns was the Hon. Constance Lindley, whose gown was really a marvel in that particular and in beauty. COAT SUIT OF NEW DESIGN Seems Likely to Attain Much Popu larity with the Advent of Spring Weather. A distinct departure from the coat suits that are, is one that has just been advanced by a leader in style. It is worth description because its promoter feels that it is the advanced thing for spring. It is of an indefinite black and gray suiting, not smooth in surface. The skirt has a habit back, a slightly high waist and a panel of plats in front starting about the end of the corset. The fastening is at the left side on the yoke effect. Three large smoked pearl buttons are used on the plain circular top above the plats. There is a short coat that just reaches the point of the hips, cut away and rounded in front and showing a slightly double-breasted waistcoat of frog green corduroy. This, too, is fastened with the smoked pearl buttons. The sleeves of the coat are plain and long, and the turn-over collar and short reverses are of the fabric. This points the way back along the old road of severely tailored suits of mannish cut and build. No fur collar and cuffs, no Louis XV. pockets, no braiding, no velvet. A new bracelet which is attracting considerable attention among women is a band of gold from a half-inch to an inch in width. It is either heavily engraved or bears a pattern in black or colored enamel. As a matter of fact, the bracelet is not new, being similar to a style worn many years ago by our grandparents. In keeping ribbons, do not place odds and ends in an indiscriminate mass in a box. Have either different boxes or envelopes for the different colors, and they will be compact and easily managed. Seal Sombrero. Among the newest modes of millinery is a large sombrero of seal musquash. It has the dash of the western plains and the medial turn of a knowing designer. Around the crown passes a band of embroidery reminiscent of Venetian design and colors, and the rest remains with a proper tilt of the wide brim. There seems no lossening of the popularity of the collarless neck. It is worn on the sturct under heavy coats with fur collars for all evening afairs where a formal decollure is no desired aid for almost every after noon affair. A New Bracelet. Seal Sombrero.

A PLEA FOR SENATOR·DICKI Warren G. Harding Forsock the Man Who Made Him Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, When that Man, Senator Foraker, Needed Harding's Political Assistance Most—A Loyal Woman Writes! Sutherlin, Orc. Feb. 15, 1910 Editor Gazette, Dear Sirs; Let me congratulate you on the editorial page of The Gazette. The resolutions of the Spokane city council ought to be sent to "Teddy," but I fear he would only class those people with the others who have refused to "now the knee to bait." In other words, he shall him as infallible, and agree to all he says. It looks like Taft had betrayed him, is it not just that he should? We into them that speeched, and that woman that was treacherously, and that dealt treacherously, with their. When they cease to speil, they shall be spoiled and when they shall make an Senator Charles Dick. end to deal treacherously they shall deal treacherously with three. Respect a master booked to hog the trailer to any man if by doing so he could gain a little cheap popularity. He would stoop to the most malicious he to ruin anyone's character whom he for any reason disliked. As he dealt with others so shall others deal with him. "Tis a lesson as old as the soul's men: 'Whatnever we row, we rear." The 30,000 Afr-American voters of Ohio will have a chance to thank Senator Dicki this spring for his action in inviting Booker T. Washington to be his house guest last fall. When the primary election comes, every one of the candidates should be judged by other things than the color of his skin, should vote for Dick. Another thing, he stood by Foraker in spite of all the threats and bribes and capoloye of which Roosevelt was capable. Now, let us all stand by him. He was industrious (O.) Register that there is a movement to support Warren G. Harding of Marion, O., for the Republican nomination for governor this year. Mr. Harding, after doing good work for Senator Foraker and loudly proclaiming his loyalty and devotion to the great statesman, bassy deserted him at a rally in the Tiffany building two years ago. There are two or three possible explanations of liction, but not one with a single rig of justification for it, and not one but shows him as thoroughly fish. I beg of the Afro-American party to nominate. There are plenty of men who have some principle not only self-interest, in the Republican party of Ohio. A man, who after professing such great admiration for the great senator, would desert him in the midst of the fight, is not worthy of the support of our great leader's friends. With all good wishes, I am. Your sincerely, MRS. PATRICIA ROBSON. PUT JEFFRIES "TO SLEEP." Johnson's Right Hand "Wallop" Will Do It in the Night "Sleep" Producer New York City.—A right-hand upper-calf. Johnson says that only two of his battles were ended with his left hand. Out of 75 battles he has fought every man he knocked out went down with the right-hand upper-calf with the exception of George Mills and Jim Scanlon. Johnson poses the right, but when the left bumped them they dropped without being trimmed up with the right. A great many people say that a left-hand jab is of no account, Jim Corbett declares that if a woman shags you in the face long enough she will knock you out. The jab, he says, may not knock a man over on his head but will not cause him to realize titalizing does the work gradually. The constant jab, jab, jab dills the other fellow's brain and leaves him open for a right if you have one Johnson figures in the same way. His left arm is not as strong as the right. Dr. Sargent, at Harvard, found during his examination that Jack's right arm was a third stronger than the left. His deadly work is all done with that winn. he did not may left. Jack was titalized the right when he not Johnson in Boston. He went to the door to the flat of his book and to take the reference to the strings of his winn. time over Sam. Jim Fitzgerald. Pueldo for him, who was known out by Johnson in Frisco, was sent to dreamland with this upper apper. Jim couldn't land on the clever Johnson, and while rushing in the eleventh round, said: "You're a clever right-ich. Will you take this." He tore at Johnson with his head forward, but as he started to pound Johnson the right up and Jim went down for keeps. "Tommy hurts, in Australia," he said. "I was the very first round. He was short and chunky, just the sort of man who falls easy prey for the right. He rushed Johnson, too, and stopped the right with the point of his chin. He was on the floor in a jiffy, and later was on the floor again. The right simply wore him down to a wabbling wreck, and the police saved him from a knockout. Bob Fitzsimons, in Philadelphia, what over on his head in a dunkle the Mizzie. Fitz fell on his face and he tried his best to set up. He got his knuckles up, but his head wouldn't judge. He was completely pityless for the moment. It was a terrific jolt. Goodbyy, Jeffries. Goodbyy! THE DELINEATOR FOR MARCH. Two women head the list in The Delineator for March with two very remarkable articles. Miss Graege G. Strachan, president of the Intercounth Association of Women School Teachers, city of New York, who speaks for 15,000 teachers in New York City alone, tells of their fight for equal pay with the men of similar rank. Mrs. Wilson Woodrow says some things the american Husband will stir up in the Kansas City's remarkable method of dealing with its prisoners through a board of pardon and probes is explained by Charles Dillon, under the title "A New Way to Save Men." William H. Allen, director of the Bureau of Municipal Research, discusses from a scientific viewpoint "The institutional church," in which he discusses the social unrest in the church. He says "What a Women's College Means to a Girl" by Madeline D. Zoy. The fiction is plausible. Virginia Frazer Dale Will N. Harahan, Elizabeth Jordan and Thomas L. Mason contribute the leading stories. In addition Grace G. Gowan Cook's series is continued. The fashion are outlined for spring in colors and with authenticity. Mrs. Grace G. Gowan cooks the spring prints and the trotter trucks. There is a sense of coupleless glam. The Delineator for March that is very satisfying. JUST A FEW "FOEMS." Jack Spratt could eat no fat.

The republican senate on Monday ordered the injunction of secrecy removed from all of its records in the case. The speeches by Tillman were never taken down by the senate, stoogeschops, but he has copies, and desires to use them in forthcoming abusive public utterances on the race question. The senate action gives him this right. For shame! DOINGS OF THE RACE Rev. George W. Lee, the big Baptist minister of Washington, D. C., died recently.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1898 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., February 19, 1910. 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. The Ohio "Colored brother," like Geo. B. Cox's two state Republican executive committeemen, was conspicuously absent from Dayton, last Saturday. The laws of Ohio do not permit the establishment of separate schools. This was the result of the wiping out of the remnants of Ohio's black laws, years ago. Where there are such schools, they are maintained with the unanimous consent of the Afro-Americans of those communities. In there any party, person of prominence outside of his cabinet, or thing except corporations, President Taft has not "stung" in some way? He has been about the biggest disappointment since the days of Hayes, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt. May the good Lord, deliver us in 1912 Mercy, what a clorus we hear, to the foregoing. The Afro-American, Negro, Colored man, or whatever you may elect to term him who has "brass" enough to espouse Taft's cause these days, eschews the individual who knowing conditions as we all do, has the "gall" to ask him to do so. There is going to be more trouble this fall in this state than there was two years ago, and about every Ohio Afro-American knows what it was then. Wade H. Ellis is certainly welcome to the job that he secured him Chairman of the Ohio Republican Executive Committee. When Dr. Booker T. Washington was refused accommodation in the Buchtel Hotel, Akron, last year and Senator Charles Dlek who lives in that city, invited him to become his house-guest, why didn't Booker T. accept? Will some one "the Wizard of Tuskegee" if the latter is too busy to do so himself? Dr. Washington has been too bury ever since to sue that hotel for damages under our Ohio Civil Rights' law and thus vindicate the Negro's right to decent treatment. What did he wonder Wonder if preaching his "doctrine of surrender" has anything to do with Mr. Washington's glaring failure? Cleveland has more Afro-American teachers in her public schools than she would have if there were separate schools here for our people. This is respectfully referred to the Dayton Citizen. To establish separate schools anywhere in Ohio or the north, for purposes of education, the bers of the race might get positions to teach is a crime against the race of that community that will harm our people there a hundred times more in many ways than the salaries the Afro-American teachers in the place receive, could possibly help. Thinking of the race in this day and time, is a sure sign of retrogression on the part of those of the race in that community. The Kansas City Star, the first paper in the city to rush to the support of Tact, several years ago, said recently, in an editorial, in speaking of the president's loss of popularity: "In all this transformation of public sentiment there has been little bitterness. Instead, there has been general sorrow over the loss of confidence in a president who, partly from the generosity of the people, led the gently partly from deficiency in aggressive militant carmestness, has alienated the people who believed they had found in him the man to carry out the work begun by Roosevelt. If the presidential election were to be held this year, Mr. Taft could not carry a state west of the Allegheny mountains. The old soldiers, veterans of the war of the rebellion, and our people are not the only Republicans who, almost as one, have enough of Taft already, it seems. Good! The superintendent of the State Industrial School for Girls at Delaware sends us a catalogue of the school issued under the administration of Gov. Harris that shows that the colorline segregation in that institution was begun at that time (under a Republican administration). Well, the segregation started in the middle of the 1960s. The University of Caviston, Capt. Ed. Sawyer of Cleveland, in Democrat, under the present (Harmon) Democratic administration. It seems, however, that Gov. Harris's administration set the pace for this new Ohio outrage upon loyal American citizens and taxpayers, and gave President Taft his first pointer for his despicable "new southern policy". This and the treatment of the Hon. W. G. Hays by United State Judge Robert H. Hunt to be appointed last issue) and some other like issues will play an important part in the approaching gubernatorial contest in Ohio. If there is any thing more pittiful than the Negro who is still following in the wake of the Taft political table, it is the Negro who is respecting Egva self and race respecting THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1910. Negroes with manhood who hold federal office, wisely say nothing or speak conservatively and in harmony with the dominant political feelings of the race. O. yes, we are 'Republicans'; but O. how President Taft has outraged us and thrown all Republican precedents to the winds in so doing. Not only in the matter of 'appoints' but in the matter of 'more', an hundred fold more vital to us, he has taught the American people to believe that we are to be treated in a political as well as a social way on a lower "American" plane. That is another vitally dangerous thrust from which it will take us years to recover even under the most favorable conditions. Bryan, as President, could have done us no more harm, especially when we remember the President's "rebel" appointments to the White House, what that is "care" for "The Black Battalion" of infamous Brownville, Texas, notorily; and Judge Lurton, another Democratic Tennessee, as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Again, thank the Lord, we did not vote for Taft or Bryan. THE SHADOW AND. THE SUB- STANCE. TAFT'S "NEW SOUTHERN POLICY" --- Importance of Table Manners. Emerson declared: "could care less whether the truth or the laws than with a slovely and unpresentable person. Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances, the senses are despicable." There is nothing more offensive to a table man than careless vulgar table manners. EPITOME OF A WEEK'S NEWS Most Important Happenings Told in Brief. PERSONAL Dr. P. A.

NIECE OF SENATOR ELKINS Society 'Woman, Famed for Her Beauty and Social Graces, Places Muzzle of Pistol to Her Breast and Fires. Kansas City, Mo. Unable to longer hear her disappointment because her relatives refused to allow him to play the stage, Mississippi Leslie Elkins, a nurse at Stephen H. Elkins of West Virginia, a society woman, famed for her beauty and her social graces, shot herself at the Willard hotel here. After writing an open letter to the newspapers in which she said she could not hear to lunge and two other letters to Mr. and Mrs. Elkins, persecutors of the hotel, she placed the muzzle of a pistol to her breast and fired. The bullet pierced her body just over the heart, infiltrating a dangerous, although not necessarily, fatal wound. The sound of the shot alarmed the bitter guests of the hotel, who ran in the room and found the girl lying on the floor. A Nixon and U. T. Phillips were called. They found that the bullet had missed a vital place and after dressing the wound combined that the girl had a chance to recover. Her friends knew the keen disappointment in her great ambition to become an actress caused her to become depressed. Potted, a conqueror of the world, comfortably reared, the girl, who is only 26 years old, yearned for the glare of the footlights and the applause of the boxes and pit. She trained herself to this end and developed successful talent and gave every promise of high success. She never found it difficult to get her heart from her talent, her high family connections and her personality alone guaranteed her an audience. In New York she had an offer from a well known theatrical manager and was about to close, a contract with him when Senator Elkinson himself stepped in and stopped matters. The manager, who was the estate which has given Miss Elkinson a comfortable income. In some way he managed to thwart his niece's plan to go upon the stage and she returned to Kansas City. But the great disappointment weighted heavily upon her. Too well bred to complain of her lack of intelligence, she did not able to disguise from them that she was deeply grieved. She brooded over this until it is thought she preferred death to enduring it longer. TALKS ON CENTRAL BANK PLAN Leclie' Shaw Unmasks Multitude of Dangers With Which Scheme Is Fraught. New York City. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the United States treasury, told New York what he thought of the plan for a central bank. And he telling he unmasked a multi-ethnic group which he said the scheme was fraught. "With a central bank," said Mr. Shaw, "large interests would not only control the price of cotton, as the south now charges they control, but they would gain pain over the price of cotton." He also tempt a resive people by a deliberate act of congress. I am amazed that financial interests should seek this additional and unnecessary centralization. Clothed with such power, should a long period of industrial stagflation be permitted may not be precipitated upon us all, in a misguided desire by the many to take revenge upon the few." HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER Citizen Asks Employee in the Treasury Department, "Is a Hen a Bird?" Washington, D. C. "Is a hen a bird?" This puzzling problem was put up by Robert O. Bailey, secretary of the Treasury, in a letter from a harried citizen who desires to be set straight with regard to the law. It appears as set out in the letter that whereas, eggs, just ordinary eggs of commerce, or hen's eggs, are subject to a duty of five cents per dozen in the Payne tariff law, birds eggs are admitted free. Which being the case, this citizen, who wants to do the right thing, asks the department, "is a hen a bird?" The department decided that frogs' legs were poultry within the meaning of the law. Secretary Bailey therefore turned the letter over to the customs division. Says Sugar Trust Controls Cuba. New York City—The statement of the American Sugar Refining Co. to stockholders that it does not own any sugar estates, and is in no way interested, in the production of sugar in Cuba, is false, according to Hampton's Magazine. "Hampons charges that the trust absolutely controls the Cuban American Sugar Co., which owns $13,000,000 worth of sugar plantations in the island. "For all practical purposes," says the magazine, "the sugar trust has annexed Cuba." Save Lean Meat Is Cheaper New York City—If the American people are willing to take their beef lean trained down to muscle and shear as it comes from the range, they may have it at a reasonable price, according to Col. L. T. Pryor, president of the Texas Live Stock Growers' association, "Just at present," said Pryor, "there is a great shortage of beef, but no shortage of cattle. That is because of the greatly increased price of cottonseed meal and corn. Thirty years ago we could fatten a beef for $10; now it costs $30." IN A NOOSE (Copyright, 1992 by Associated Literary Press.) --- Advancing Age of Marriage Things had gone wrong with at least one of the guests of the Mountain house. Miss Nina Harlett had gone up there with her maiden aunt as chaperon, and they had scarcely got their things unpacked when that man began to lecture her on the frivolity of living. Miss Nina had not flirted. She had simply let her eyes dwell for a moment on a good-looking young man. Can't one eye look at the other sex without being made to toe the mark for so doing. And then, when the trunks had been unpacked, but not all the dresses yet worn, the girl had gone herself in the dresses and, upon her return, bubbling with enthusiasm, the maiden aunt had met her with the statement that she had done a highly improper thing and needn't be surprised if the other young ladies cut her dead. Impersoner for a girl of 15 to walk in the hotel ground at three o'clock in the afternoon to view the fountain and the wolf in a cave? Nonsense! When she returned, she stole a smile of the bandmaster and made up a face at her instead. And after a dinner, because a young man and his sister sit opposite, and because the young man, instead of his sister, remarked that it had been a glorious sunset, Nina's maiden anna said that girls, in her time, kept their eyes on their plates when eating. Of course it had been a glorious sunset. Of course the sister would have said so she had not been too busy with her soap. Of course the young man knew he would be paid for with other extras, but he wasn't going to spread a pail over the table by saying that it had been a fivecent sunset. There was one more trial for the young girl that evening. She wanted to sit in a grotto and hear the fountain splash and the band play. "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." The nude made objections, but finally consented. They hadn't been sitting ten minutes, however, when she declared that she smelled limestone and that she next grotto must be using it on another moment. That hame log might be catching. And what was a grotto, anyhow, but a pile of stones? And "MR. TILLINGHAST, CONSIDER YOUR SOLAR ENERGY, MORE THIS TIME ON" what was a fountain but a lot of water going to waste when it could be utilized in washing dishes? And the band—it was playing for money any way! Miss Nina awoke next morning determined to be very good, but things began to happen again. She overheard her aunt telling them at the office to deliver all mail to her personally, and, in her anger, her eyes filled with fear and she jumped up and down. She went to go to her aunt first and perhaps be read by her! She would die first! The girl had just composed herself when she received a telegram from Jimmie saying that he would be up on the afternoon train. Jimmie was Mr. James Tillingshaw, to whom Miss Nina was so nearly engaged that they had discussed the question of whether they should keep three servants or four. She was handed the telegram. She read the observation that it was a wonder how he had allowed himself to be nosed! Jimmy arrived. There was no one at the depot to meet him. At the hotel he had to wait 20 minutes before the answer to his bls card came. He was told he would be him later. That was reason enough. That was reason enough. He would please protect him, even. Comparison Between Present Conditions in England and Those a Few Years Ago. The average age of the community is becoming older, it was pointed out by the president of the Royal Statistical society recently. It is interesting to note that the age of marriage also has increased, says the London Daily Mall. According to the available returns as many as 40,000 girls marry in England, in a year under the age of 21, that is in less than one-seventh of the marriages registered. Thirty years, a generation ago, more than one-fifth of the women marrying in a year were minors. Another interesting fact that seems to prove this tendency to late marriages is provided by figures for the age of marriage of marriages of women between the ages of 21 and 25 were just over 6,000 more than in 1898, while the marriages of women between the ages of nosed, had he! Been roped like a spring calf! Caught on the fly before he had time to know his own mind! She would see about that! Of course, Jimmie had wit enough to see that he had struck a snag of some sort, and he proposed a veranda promenade and explanations. The aunt chinned in. But looking him straight in the eye the girl replied: "Mr. Tillinghast, kindly excuse me. Consider yourself unnoused from this time on." It was while the lover and the aunt were occupying chairs on the veranda and trying to explain matters that Miss Nina slipped out of the hotel and took the path past the wolf's den up the mountain. She wanted to get off by herself and think and shed a sweat. Yes, that would end all. The aunt would have to weep. Jimmie would go around wishing the noise was around his neck again and the papers would publish her latest photograph and speak of the affair as a romance. Suicide by all means! One plunge from the precipice, 5,000 feet high, would do the trick. Miss Nina had left the hotel half a mile behind and was surveying the country for suitable precipices when a sudden sight caused her to scream out. Around a bend in the path came a big black bear. He halted at sight of the girl. She screamed. He was used to it. He belonged to. He an Italian stroller who danced him from one resort to another. He stood on his hind legs and waltzed on the girl screamed. He stood on his head and growled while she sank in a depression. She had forgotten that she had broken with him, and she called on him. The bear's master was resting and eating lunch a hundred yards behind the bend. He heard no commotion and he did not worry. When a young lady has made up her mind to commit suicide she should not be particular as to whether she leaps over a precipice or is devoured by a bear. But Miss Nina was inconsistent. She felt herself on the point of being devoured, and she wanted to just rest as long as that old fellow referred to in all well-regulated family Bibles. If a good-looking girl in peril calls for her sweetheart long enough he is bound to come. In this case Jimmie had dropped the aunt as soon as he recently could and was taking a stroll in the forlorn hope that the niece would be a very fresh kid with a very fresh wink to his eye that said to him: "She went off up the path, and she's probably expecting you." Jimmie didn't exactly hustle until he heard faint calls for help. Then he was all lightning. As he came in sight of the bear and the girl he took in the peril. There was a dead limb almost under his feet, and he seized it and sailed in. The bear came down with him, sniffing the foot with promptness and dispatch. He had taken hundreds of kicks from his master and the public, and he took some more now as being all in the day's work. Jimmie was still on the job when the Italian heard the rumpus and appeared to call out: "What you do? Why you want kicks? He circus bear. He no hurdle." "My dear girl!" shouted Jimmie as he turned to Nina. "Is it you, is it Jimmie?" "Of course it is. Thank heaven I came in time." "Yes, he was getting ready to eat me up. Oh, how I screamed for my aunt!" "For your suit?" "I mean for you. Oh, Jimmie..." "Well?" he asked as he helped her to her foot and threw a quarter to the Ballan to pay the damages. "Mr. Tillinghast," with sudden dignity, "I have released you from the nose. Pray excuse my emotion." "And what in cats is all this talk about noses!" he demanded. "Why aunt says that I have noosed you." "The spiteful woman! You haven't noosed me yet, but now is the time to do it. I love you and I have saved you from the bear. Don't leave room for me to jerk my head out. There; that's the proper rope, and we'll go back and hear the band play 'Where Is My Aunt Toonight?' What's the Answer? "The time to save is when you're young." It is all right, but a fobber doesn't earn anything all he sees well and then it itches more to live. 25 and 30 increased by fact over 12,000. The average or mean age of at spinsters who married in 1936 was 25 years and one month. This has ad- vanced to 25 years and 65 months in the last available returns. Widows at their second and third marriage are also older, having advanced four an average of 40 years seven months to 40 years 11 months. Thus spinster brides are nearly six months and widow brides four months older than those of a few years ago The Thirst for Knowledge "I'm afraid," said the worried look ing woman, "that my husband is hope lessly impatient." He seems to take a great interest in them. "Yes, but he insists on buying thermometers to see how cold each room is instead of spending the money for coal." Local News PURCHASE THE "GAZETTE" AT J. S.

Some years ago, when a barber bill was pending in the legislature, a number of our workmen of that class, met in Woodliff hall, made up a purse and gave it to a member of the legislature to be used in their interest and know that that act alone would have landed the givers and the receiver in the OHIO PENITIARY if any one had cared to call the Grand Jury's attention to the matter! There is a state law which is strictly enforced against the giving and deceiving of money, gifts, etc., intended to infu- nfluence the public. Otherwise, if some of those favoring the bill, had learned of the Woodliff hall barber fund of some years ago, at any time within the six years' of legal life-period-limit, a good many of our local barbers and that member of the legislature would have found themselves in deep and serious trouble which would have doubtless ended in the Penitentiary. "A warning to the barbers," the funders are entirely unnecessary, too. Local barbers had better not, again, run the risk, and so foolishly, of landing in the Penitentiary.

CHILD'S APRON AND BLOOMERS Paris Pattern No. 2210, All Seams Allowed—For play time or morning wear, this little apron and bloomers will be found not only comfortable for the little ones but economic for the mother, as they save laundry bills and may be made of leftover pieces or inexpensive remnants. The apron is a plain sack style closed at the back and having sash ties extending from the under-arm seams and tied in a bow over the closing. It is made of figured cambric. A turn-over collar in two sections with rounding lower corners is a pretty neck finish and is bordered with a tiny trill of edging. The long bishop sleeves have their wrathbands finished with similar frills. The bloomers are closed at the sides and are gathered at the top to bands, in which buttonholes are worked to attach the garment to the underwalt. They are drawn in about the knees by elastic in the hems. The pattern is in four sizes—two to eight years. For a child of six years the garments require 4½ yards of material 27 inches wide, or 3½ yards 36 inches wide; with 1½ yards of edging to trim. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches bust measure. For 36 bust the sack requires 4½ yards of material 20 inches wide, 2½ yards 36 inches wide, or 2½ yards 42 inches wide; 1½ yards of beading, 1½ yards of wide ribbon and three yards of narrow ribbon to trim.

Asbestos, that singular substance which can be carded like wool and formed into fireproof cloth or paper, belongs to the hornblende type of minerals, and in some respects forms a kind of link between the vegetable and animal kingdom. It is at once fibrous and crystalline, elastic and brittle, heavy as rock in the crudo state, yet light as thistledown when mechanically treated. The best asbestos for the manufacture of fireproof cloth comes from lower Canada. It is found in narrow seams, about an inch and a quarter in thickness, sometimes vertical and sometimes horizontal in the containing rock. As it comes from the rock it is worth $200 a ton, but the long fibers, stripped ready for spinning and weaving, are worth $1,500 a ton. Rapa's Retformation.

"After an operation four years ago I lay in the bed ward in both sides, backache, and a weakness. The doctor wanted me to have another operation. I took Lydia E. Littleton Compound and I am entirely cured of my troubles." Mrs. AUGUSTE VESERLANN, De Forrest, Wisconsin, Wisconsin. Operation Avoided. New Orleans, La. "For years I suffered from severe female troubles. Finally I was confined to my bed and the doctor said an operation was necessary. I gave Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound a trial first, and was saved from an operation." Mrs. Pinkham, 111 Kererlee St, New Orleans, La. Thirty years of unparalleled success confirms the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to cure female diseases. The great volume of unpublished articles constantly pouring in proves conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a remarkable remedy for those distressing feminine ills from which so many women suffer.

At the last banquet of the international committee, Senator Root affirmed that they had made their way by working with men more than by talking to them, saying: "Come with us, not "Go do that."

Interest in the antibacterial campaign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact that in the year 1929 163 new antibacterial associations were formed, 133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals were established, and 91 tuberculosis dispensaries were opened. Compared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1939, 43 more associations for the prevention of tuberculosis were formed during the previous 12 months, and 62 more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there were in the United States 294 antibacterial associations, 286 hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria and 255 special tuberculosis, dispensaries. CLEAR-HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable. The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him: "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia of the stomach. My cup of cheer had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocery one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial. "Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not bolling it sufficiently, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postm, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trouble. I verily believe, for I am a well man today and have used no other remedy. "My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'s branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee-drinking days I was subject to nervousness and 'the blues' in addition to my slick spells. These have left me since I began using Postm and I can consciously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion. "There's a Reason." "There is pikes for the little book, The Read to Wellville." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time.

Secretary Ballinger has issued instructions to throw open 1,400,000 acres of land in Eastern Montana to white settlers. This land was withdrawn about two years ago for the purpose of allotting to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract contains the very chosen lands in Valley County and wherever farming has been carved on, it has produced yields of from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels of oats and large crops of hay; alfalfa and vegetables. There are over 8,000 160-acre homesteads in this tract, which is considerable more than the combined total in the Flathead, Spokane and Cocur d'Alene Reservations, which were opened to settlement last summer. Mother Bird--Yes, your father has deserted us! Eloped with one of those new flying things! LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resulpt, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my log was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cahot St. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4, Appl. 13. 1999." Reflections.
