Colorado's Fight. The Fidelity of the Negro Voters to the Party. VOL. XIV. Politica Republican Party Facing one in the History of the Part Fidelity of the Negro Though splendidly organized in the nation, the Republican party is facing one of the hardest battles known to the history of the party. The peculiar aggressive administration policy of President Roosevelt in his dealings with all public questions and public men, has served to quicken the conscious of the nation as never before. Never before were the people, the common, ordinary everyday people more closely in touch with public affairs, and possessed a clearer insight into the workings of party management than at present. It has been the open frankness of President Roosevelt — sometimes seemingly brutal—that has endeared and commended him to all classes and made the continuance of HIS POLICIES more than anything else, the DEMAND of people. The position of the President and, consequently, of the Republican party towards the Negro has been the cause of much mixed comment, and occasioned much loose and really ignorant criticism on the part of many not correctly informed or incapable of comprehending the truth in the mass of conflicting statement and rumor. There has at no time been hostility on the party of the President or the party towards the race. The past few years has witnessed the rise of Tillman, Vardamann and Dixon in the South whose viluperative utterances have served to fill the atmosphere with a multitude of sounds of the tinkling symbol order. Sounds that pervert hearing that which we should really hear, and understand. The Republican party stand as a bulwark of defense for the right now guaranteed our people by the Federal constitution and the great leaders of the party are laboring quietly, with all zeal and earnestness for the enjoyment of greater liberties and privileges. The success of the Republican party means larger opportunities for the people of our race. It means higher ideals for the nations in the continuation of the Roosevelt policy. COLORADO'S FIGHTS. There may be a grain of comfort to some who seek personal aggrandizement in aping the action of other people. This is no time for Republican factions to be warring. From all parts of the country, especially in and about Democratic headquarters comes the oft repeated boast that we will carry Colorado. Republicans and especially those disposed to stir up factional strife, should understand that the electoral vote of Colorado is just as essential to the successful election of William H. Taft as are the votes of New York. This is no time to vent one's spleen or become captious. It is a time when we should lay aside ALL personal differences and together like patriotic voters pull for the success of that grand old party whose history thrills every American with pride. Then the state must enjoy continued prosperity. It will require the Republican leaders to do this. The party has gradually bought back the great prosperity enjoyed by all its citizens before the craze of populism swept the great mass of our people off their feet. But it is a pleasure to record the standing of the Negroes of Colorado. They are the Republican party. Their fidelity to the party and their patriotic devotion to those principles which mean commercial success for Colorado, makes our people beyond question the most valuable asset of the party. When all others have been carried away by some politicalism the Colorado statesman and the many voters it represents has ever been valiantly defending the party of human liberty and the party that has done most for the laboring classes of the nation. Monumental Lodge of Elks of Baltimore, Md., organized a few years ago, has over 400 members, and is in a strong condition financially. The Odd Fellows of the State of Texas have raised their insurance policy from $300 to $500. They, it is said, lead all other Negro societies in this line. Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 1.—Judge A. H. Hunston, in the District Court, declared unconstitutional today the Oklahoma separate school law. The law provides separate schools for Negroes. Springfield, Ill., Sept. 1.—Mrs. Earl Halam this afternoon signed a statement that George Richardson is not the Negro who assaulted her on August 14. A warrant was issued for the arrest of another Negro who may be implicated in the assault.

Gerst (white), traveling salesman, was notified to leave the city recently. He attempted to assault Mrs. Preble (white), who was staying at the same hotel. The incident occurred at midnight at the hotel and the Afro-American porter knocked Gerst down several times for his conduct. Gerst was forced to leavs the city the same night. Of course he was not lynched. Baltimore, Md., August 31. Governor Crothers last week appointed Hon. Harry S.

OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR. have been made by torney in this city, and also member of the City Council from the seventeenth ward. of 4,500 scdliers (ave each, $2 per day), $1 portation of troops, Glasgow, Ky., August 31.—When Sheriff Bryant, accompanied by Claude Andrews, a Negro, arrived here tonight from Indianapolis, Ind., whither they had gone with the body of Jesse Coe, murderer of an Indianapolis policeman local Negroes threatened to give Andrews rough treatment. It was he who betrayed Coe, his cousin, into the hands of the authorities. Among the local Negroes are relatives of Coe Andrews was hustled out of town for his own safety. Springfield, Ill.—It is estimated that the recent rioting here will cost the taxpayers of the city, county and state nearly $200,000. The cost has been estimated thus: "Damaged claims against city and county for destruction of life and property, $100,000; maintenance of 4,500 soldiers (average six days each, $2 per day), $10,000; transportation of troops, $7,000; rent and feed of horses 600 head), $5,400; grand jury investigation, $1,000; special deputies, etc., feeding prisoners and other incidentals, $5,000; total, $91,850. Chicago, September 2.—When a Southener opened a cheap restaurant in this city at 224 Thirty-fifth street a little over a month ago he put a sign in his window which read: "We do not desire colored patronage." Not only did the Negro citizens take offence at the sign but the whites as well. The residents in the neighborhood agreed to inaugurate a crusade against the restaurant keeper and put him out of business. The Southerner declared that "he would remain and do business or else." From the looks of things he did "the else," as the place where he kept shop is empty and the colored people are jubilant. NO. 5 WHITE GIRLS SOLD TO NEGROES Port Gibson, Mississippi.—The most remarkable case of social equality practiced in Mississippi has been brought to light by the trial of Thomas Turner and Riley Wheat, Negroes, 20 years old, on the charge of being unlawfully married to two white girls—Ollie Parker, 16, and her sister Nannie, 13. The trial of the two Negroes was held before Magistrates Martin and Coulson in the court house at Port Gibson, although the offence was committed in another part of the country. An attempt to conduct the trial there, it was feared would result in a lynching and events proved that this would likely have been the result. The evidence at the trial showed that George D. Parker, father of the white girls, had biscovered the intimacy between Turner and his daughter, Ollie, and that Parker had compromised with the Negro on condition that he would bind himself to labor the remainder of his days for him without pay. The Negro agreed and was performing his part of the contract faithfully. Recently, according to the evidence, Parker also became intimate with one of his daughters, and the fact was discovered. He was compelled to flee the country. When the father left, the two daughters resided openly with their dusky husbands. During the progress of the trial a rush was made for the two Negroes by spectators, and in the scuffle several pistols were discharged in the court room, but no one was hurt. Deputy sheriffs spirited the Negroes away. The two girls charged with unlawful practice of social equality, are in jail awaiting trial, which has been fixed for next week, and a warrant has been issued for Parker.—Ex. Washington, August 28.—Mrs. Annie M. Johnston today filed a suit for divorce from her husband, Albert R. Johnston, on the grounds that Johnston, whom she now believes to be a colored man, induced her to marry him by passing himself off as a white man. Mrs. Johnston declared today that for a long time after her marriage in 1905 she did not suspect that her husband was of African descent, but that after the birth of twins she became suspicious. Since that time she said she looked for Johnston's parents to get an idea of his ancestry. She was not successful. Finally she asked her husband about his birth. She declares that he answered her with curses and blows. SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE? MR. BRYAN'S VERSION. USE THAT OR GO WITHOUT BRYAN'S POLICIES ALAN DETROIT FREE PRESS BRYAN'S PET THEORY BANK GUARANTEE SCHEME SHOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. Institutions Would Be Unable to Realize on Assets in Times of Panic—Latest of Commoner's Hobbies Proven Impractical. During his extended career as a statesman of presidential aspirations Mr. Bryan has shown a remarkable facility for taking up with theories in statescraft, the crudeness and impracticability of which have been easily demonstrable. And concerning his free coinage of silver and his government ownership of railroads hobbies the demonstrations seem to have been plain enough to convince even himself of their erroneous assumptions, as there is not a word in the latest Bryan platform advocating either of these aforetime Bryan doctrines. But in the Oklahoma scheme to have the state create and maintain a special fund for the guarantee of deposits in banks Mr. Bryan felt so sure that he had at last come across something of high political value and a scheme, moreover, that would stand the severest scrutiny that he adopted it and had it incorporated in the Denver platform. In less than two months following the formal adoption by the Democratic presidential candidate of this new scheme of finance it has been reduced to an absurdity by more than one method of analysis. In Oklahoma, where the plan is now operative and applicable to all state banks, the following facts indicative of its defectiveness have become apparent: The Oklahoma law provides that the fund created for the protection of bank depositors shall be invested in state securities known as state warrants, which bear three per cent. Interest annually. Now it has developed with a clearness which is apparent to the most casual observer that the state, in time of panic, when it would be absolutely necessary to have the guarantee fund ready and available, will find itself loaded up with a form of security which would find no sale whatever on the market during panicky times except at a ruinous discount. Banks fail generally because they are unable to realize upon their assets, and Oklahoma, loaded up with its own promises to pay, would not in a panic season be able to turn those promises into cash. As a national system, instead of a state system, the bank guarantee scheme is equally defective, though for other reasons. The palpable fact that it would tax the conservatively managed, savings banks and conservative institutions generally to make good the losses sustained by depositors in banks associated with speculative interests is alone sufficient to condemn the latest of Mr. Bryan's political hobbies. The Verdict of Business The business world is for Taft with intelligible unanimity. South and north the inrush of business judgment is that Taft is sane and safe—progressive but not radical, modern but not reactionary. The mail that pours into Judge Taft's hopper is big with Democratic assurances that south and north the men who first do things with their minds irrespective of party, will vote for Taft as they have twice voted for Roosevelt. Maryland will surely sidestep Bryan. There is one contested section—the middle west. Bryan's defeat next November will be more overwhelming than it was in November, 1900.—Lewiston Journal. Taft as People's Proxy "Shall the people rule?" thunders Mr. Bryan. They shall, Peerless Leader; they shall. And in the opinion of the gentlemen who hypotheticate large sums of money on election propositions a considerable plurality of them will vote for Taft as their proxy. The Rude Awakening. A Missouri man is winning notice by dreaming that Mr. Bryan will land in the White House this time. How remarkably like Mr. Bryan this man is, and the similarity is carried to the point where they both wake up, also. Prospect of "Free Wool" Not Alluring to Western Rancher. The Democratic plank promising "a reduction of the tariff upon the necessaries of life" seems to us harmless, even admirable, but it is loaded and aimed at the heart which beats for the poor farmer. The above simple phrase being translated into a shorter and uglier form spells "free wool," and that means the enmity of that class for whose pennies Mr. Bryan made such a heart to heart appeal the other day. It is all right in the east to crush the wicked combination of wool buyers who are keeping down the price of the farmers' wool, and keeping up the price of the people's clothes. But in the west this means the annulment of the sacred clause putting up the price of the farmers' sheep. Did not the census of sheep show a falling off of ten millions during the last Democratic administration, and has the poor farmer yet recovered from that massacre of the innocent sheep, like that now prepared for himself to make a Bryan holiday? Has not the price of "Territory, best fine staple, clean," risen from 30 cents to 60 cents under Republican administration, and shall the hands of the clock be turned backward? In other words, will the farmer chip in for Bryan and free wool? We trow not. Bryan and ruin look alike to the western rancher, and he would rather vote for the Old Boy himself. Bryan's Sweet Singer. While the treasurer of the Democratic party listens to the jingle of the dimes and dollars he composes lyrics. It is said that he is depended upon by the candidate to supply him with plaintive melodies guaranteed to reach and to teach the masses. When the dollars are not running in such a stream as to distract the treasurer he gets en rapport with the muse of melody and then from his quarters come enchanting strains. Those about his locality are caught with the sweet pleas for the support of the twice-tried and three-times-willing Willie. The newspaper men have their souls tuned to the enchanting strains, as they are the "dog" on which the songs of the inspired minstrel of the redoubtable nopinee are tried. Mr. Bryan has the full paraphernalia of a touring candidate in search of a job. His one-night stands will be enlivened by the dulce strains of the song that tells of his weariless wandering toward the White House. There is no doubt about Mr. Bryan's ability to secure cheap attractions from dollar dinners to dime ditties. Mr. Bryan and Radicalism Owing to the pernicious activity of President Roosevelt, radicalism has gained a stronghold in the ranks of the Republican party, and as Mr. Taft has declared unqualified adherence to the doctrines and policies of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Bryan finds himself on common ground with his opponent. Instead of being called upon to defend his views, he now makes citations from the statements and utterances of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft in support of his contentions. And this he does in the cleverest and most adroit manner, using the remarks of his opponent and the present occupant of the presidential chair as a basis for a sweeping arraignment and indictment of the party in power. In thus training the guns of his political opponents on themselves he shows that he is a dialectician of the highest order. Despite the nature of his logic, however, we doubt that intelligent voters are any more ready to accept him for the presidency than they were eight and 12 years ago.—New York Financial Chronicle. When Parker Ban. Alton B. Parker assures a California reporter that the "Democrats are alive and very much alive." Mr. Parker could make it interesting by explaining the moribund condition of the party when he ran for president. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Before proclaiming that there will be no "big stick" in evidence in the event of his election Mr. Bryan should have consulted the people. Many of them seem to like the big stick idea. TREES KILLED BY SPRAYING DANGER EXISTS IN THE TOO CON TINUOUS USE OF ARSENICAL POISON AFFECTS TRUNK ROOT AFFECTS TRUNK ROOT RESULT OF INVESTIGATIONS BY THE COLORADO EXPERIMENT STATION. (By Dr. W. P. Headden.) "Arsenical Poisoning of Fruit Trees" is the subject of a bulletin prepared by Dr. William P. Headden, professor of chemistry and geology at the State Agricultural College, and issued by the agricultural experiment station. This bulletin is the result of an investigation conducted by Dr. Headden to determine the cause of the death of so many fruit trees on the western slope and in the Arkansas valley, which investigation, followed by scientific tests, has led him to the conclusion that the trees are suffering from systematic arsenical poisoning, lime poisoning or both, due to the use of arsenic in spraying the trees. Dr Headden has gone into the subject exhaustively and is unable to reach any other conclusion. Speaking of means for preventing the death of fruit trees from this cause, Dr Headden says: "I have no remedy to suggest for either condition. Preventive measures are so far as I can see, our only recourse. Those which suggest themselves to me are: to remove the arsenic laden soil from about the crown of the tree and replace it with fresh soil; to use the standard brands of lead arsenic in preference to the arsenite of lime or white arsenic sal soda and lime; to use as little lead arsenic as possible. I have been told that good results have been obtained by using two and a half and even two pounds of pasty lead arsenate to 100 gallons of water, but the spraying must be done thoroughly. "Spray no oftener than is absolutely necessary. If I am not mistaken Prof. Gillette has found that ninety-five per cent. of the effect of the whole season's spraying was obtained by the first spraying when thoroughly well done. Some device should be used to prevent the spray material from running down the trunk and collecting at its base or it would be still better to make provision for gathering the whole of the drip. Water rich in alkalies should not be allowed to flow close enough to the tree to permit of the disposition of the alkalies in the soil about the trunk of the tree. Concentrated lye, if used to kill the kooly aphis should not be applied to the soil at the crown of the tree or permitted to flow down and collect there." In summarizing the results of his investigations and tests, he concludes the bulletin with the following: First—There is a large number of fruit trees in the state which are suffering from an affection of the trunk root. Second—This trouble begins in by far the greater number of cases, at the crown of the tree and subsequently involves both trunk and roots. Third—The first marked symptom is an early ripening of the foliage usually followed by death about mid-summer of the ensuing year. Fourth—The crown of the tree is found to be girdled, the bark on portions of the trunk dead and sunken and most of the roots dead, their bark destroyed and the woody tissue discolored, usually a light shade of brown and sometimes exteriorly blackened. Fifth—Soluble arsenical compounds will effect the destruction of the bark, the staining of the wood, the production of the socalled "black heart" and the speedy death of the tree. Sixth—Arsenical sprays have been used in these orchards for a number of years. Seventh—These arsenical compounds have accumulated in the soil. Eighth—The accumulation in the soil in an insoluble form has already passed far beyond the limit of danger for arsenics in a soluble form. Ninth—The insoluble arsenical compounds are being converted into soluble ones in the soil. Tenth—The alkaliies are the agents effecting the solution of the arsenic. By alkaliies, I mean, sodic carbonate, sodic sulfate and sodic chloride. Eleventh—The lime salts, viz: the sulfate gypsum and the carbonate do not effectively protect the arsenical compounds from the solvent action of the alkaliies. Twelfth—Systematic poisoning may take place, probably does by absorption of the arsenic with the nutritive solutions taken up by the feeding roots but the greater portion of the trouble appears to be from local irritant poisoning. Thirteenth—The arsenical poisoning is, in all probability, in many cases, complicated by lime poisoning. Fourteenth—The arsenic in the arsenate of lime is more readily brought into solution than that of the lead arsenate. Fifteenth—It is probable that the lime or marl in the soil and subsoil is also an agent acting conjointly with the arsenic in producing some of the trouble. The wheat crop this year was cut short in many portions of the United States either by climatic conditions or insect attacks, and the 1908 fall sown wheat is certain to bring a good price on the market, especially in this western country. Secure your seed wheat now. If you have not good quality seed, consult your local miller and learn who has the best neighborhood wheat. The writer knows of nothing yet which surpasses Turkey Red. Those above the ditch are urged to use for seed only that wheat which has been grown for several seasons within that environment. COLORADO ITEMS The Logan county fair at Stirling, the first for many years, was very successful. The Democratic State Press Association held a meeting at Pueblo at which H. C. Branch of Denver was elected president and George M. Kimball of Golden secretary. Miss Jessie Edmonds of Ft. Collins, B. A., University of Colorado, 1908, has gone to Porto Rico to teach in the United States government schools in San Juan, having passed the examination under the civil service rules. The Fete of Lanterns at Mount Morrison on the occasion of the opening of the new road to the top of Mount Falcon more than surpassed the expectations of the promoters in point of attendance, but a high wind blew out the Chinese lanterns and put a stop to outdoor speaking. Brilliant bonfires and fireworks marked the line of the road up the mountain and showed up beautifully from Denver. "Taft" and "Mrs. Taft," the two pet antelope in the state fish hatchery near Denver, were killed Tuesday night by dogs, which leaped the wire enclosure and tore the animals to pieces. The antelope were about a year old, and were presented to the hatchery by the members of the state fish and game commission, one of the game wardens having caught them when they were fawns only a few days old. Fruit shippers are considerably worried over a raise in freight rates which they claim will be in the nature of discrimination against Colorado because the new rate on fruits from the Pacific states is the same as that to St. Louis. The tariff on apples from Portland to Denver goes up from 80 cents to $1 in carload lots. The rate on fruits of the Hood river section in Oregon is advanced 75 cents to 90 cents. "Billy" Tanner of Yampa will be one of President Roosevelt's guides on the big game hunt in Africa next summer. He was with the chief executive on a hunting party into the Elk mountain country south of Newcastle two years ago, when John Goff was the leader of the hunt. Goff is now tied up with his duties of protecting the big game in the Yellowstone National Park and will not be able to make the African hunt. Colorado Springs and Pueblo capitalists have just purchased 5,000 acres of gypsum and Turkey creek stone quarries in the Fountain valley, about half way between Colorado Springs and Pueblo, for $75,000, and have organized the Turkey Creek Stone, Clay & Gypsum company, with $500,000 capitalization, to work the property. The Turkey creek stone is the same as that used in the construction of the Denver public library. The state military board has completed the purchase of the half of block of ground on Pennsylvania between 18th and 19th avenues in Denver as the site for the new armory that is to be built at a cost of $150,000. The land cost $33,000. Of this the state has already paid cash down $33,000. The half block is on the north side, diagonally across from St. Luke's hospital. Plans for the armory have not yet been drawn. Camp Cleghorn, in Las Animas county, where 80 or 90 convicts are at work on the state highway, is entirely without a guard and the convicts are upon their own honor. One of their members patrols the camp at night to keep hoboes away. Since the guards were taken off there has been no attempt at escape, and the prisoners openly declare that if anyone tries to get away they will assist in having him returned to the penitentiary. Attempting to evade the Colorado gme laws, which specify that non-residents must obtain a license before shipping fish out of the state, C. J. Leuthe, a prominent hardware dealer of Des Moines, Iowa, was caught shipping trout under the caption of "Fruit" and was arrested and fined $25 and costs at Thomasville in Pitkin county. He saved the $2 license fee, but expended $35 in doing so, and lost the fish in addition. William Miller of Denver, general agent for a large fire insurance company, saw a full grown cinnamon bear near Glen Eyrie, General Palmer's residence near Manitou, a few days since. Miller, who was on horseback, pursued the bear for 200 or 300 yards until the animal disappeared among the rocks. A large bear with two cubs was also seen near Green mountain falls by John McLean, a prospector. McLean took a shot at the animal, but the bullet chipped off a rock above the bear and her cubs and all three disappeared. With a reception tendered to the visiting delegates to the twenty-third annual meeting of the Colorado Homeopathic Society, the new College of Physicians and Surgeons was opened at Denver Monday night. The college, which is located at 1317 Fourteenth street, is non-sectarian in character; that is to say, both homeopathy and alopathy will be taught there. The institution is under the direction of the Homeopathic society. Dr. J. B. Kinley is dean. Dr. G. S. Peck is registrar and Dr. Walter M Dake secretary. Owing to the late season it is not thought that the sugar campaign in Weld county will begin until Oct. 1st, although the factories are in readiness for operation should crops be ready Sept. 20. It is estimated that the crop this year will be as good if not better than last and a chemical test of twenty-one samples of Greeley beets show the sugar content one per cent, better than last year. There are 21,700 acres in beets for the Greeley, Eaton and Windsor factories. A petition to the city council asking for an election on the question of holding a charter convention for a special charter for Colorado Springs is being circulated among voters. Signatures of only 5 per cent. of those voting at the last gubernatorial election are required. The State Board of Health has decided that hereafter all persons who deal in food stuffs liable to contamination by dust and files, must screen whatever they display to the public and keep it screened. CARRIED GESTURE TOO FAR. Boy's Action Possibly Appropriate But Somewhat Unnecessary. Vivian Burnett, the original of the still-remembered Little Lord Fauntleroy, at the Chicago convention discussed with a reporter a certain party maneuver. "They went too far there," said Mr. Burnett. "They made themselves ridiculous by their excess. Do you know what they reminded me of? They reminded me of a juvenile elocutionist my mother often tells about. "This lad, at a school treat, got up to recite the first piece of his life. He was ambitious; he wished to make a great success of his piece; and he had been told by his teacher that the secret of elocution was the gesture—for every phrase its fitting gesture. "The opening line of the boy's selection was 'The comet lifts its tall of fire.' "The overzealous boy, to fit its proper gesture to this line, lifted up the tail of his coat and held it out in a horizontal position." Barn "One country constable and a cow." THREE CURES OF ECZEMA. Woman Tells of Her Brother's Terrible Suffering—Two Babies Also Cured —Cuticura Invaluable. "My brother had eczema three different summers. Each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Remedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. Mrs. Sarah E. Lusk, Cold water, Mich., Aug. 15 and Sept. 2, 1907." No Automobiles There. "There are no automobiles on the golden streets of heaven," says the Whitsett Courier, "but they're giving lots of folks a chance to walk those golden streets. One of the contraptions arrived in town last week and during the first spin the owner took in it it pitched a blind mule on top of the town hall, with the man that was ridin' the mule. The mule was so mad it kicked the town clock to pieces, likewise kickin' a hole in the roof an' fallin' on the mayor, just as he had took his seat an' called council to order. Having landed in the midst of them, the mule walked slow and dignified to the front door an' then took to the woods." Danger In New York Roads.

The late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts was one of the most benevolent-looking old gentlemen who ever sat in Congress, but he said pretty sharp things now and then in debate. "Why," he explained one day, "no man in Vermont is allowed to vote unless he has beaten Massachusetts people out of $5,000 trading horses." "And we all vote," bellowed Senator Proctor of Vermont. One difference between a man and a mule is that the man does the most of his kicking with his mouth. Information Wanted. A court, a prisoner, a purloined watch, a country jury. The evidence as to whether the prisoner had stolen the watch was very conflicting. As the jury retired to consider their verdict, the judge remarked that he would willingly give them any advice they wished on any point in the case that puzzled them. Eleven jurors solemnly filed out, but the twelfth hung back, perplexity written large on his countenance. "Is there any question you wish to ask me before you retire?" asked the judge kindly. The man's face brightened. "Yes, yer Honor," he replied, eagerly. "Wot I wants to know is whether 'e really did steal the watch!'" The Hurry Fad. "Mr. Cleveland," said a Princeton lecturer, "had little sympathy with the rush and hurry that the American business man so complacently affects—no sympathy with train and boat dictation, with the lunch-table telephone, the letter phonograph, and the other bluffs." "Don't rush so,' Mr. Cleveland once said to me. 'Lightning might do a great deal more if it wasn't always in such an awful hurry.'" They All Want It. "The late Joel Chandler Harris," said an Atlanta clergyman, "used to laugh at the way everybody seemed to want a free advertisement of some sort from the editor. It was the same, he would say, with the physician—everybody wants free advice on the health question from him. "I once heard him tell about an editor who served ten days in jail for kicking the mayor. The warden treated him very kindly, and at the ten days' end, escorting him to the door and shaking him by the hand said: "'Well, good-by and good luck, ed. And say, would you mind giving the jail a puff?' Just Wanted to Try It. Farmer John left home one morning and waited at the station for the limited. He climbed aboard and shambled into the smoker. "Mister," he drawled when the conductor halted before him, "is that that 2-cent-a-mile rate good on this train?" "It is," replied the conductor brusquely. "Where is your ticket?" The old man fumbled in the depths of an ancient shotbag. "Ain't got no ticket, mister," he said slowly, "but here be two cents. never rode on one of these posky flyers and I just want to feel the sensation. Put me off after I've rode open mile."

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Lieut. Col. Louis A. Lagarde, medical corps, has been detailed as a member of the army retiring board at Denver, vice Capt. George H. Scott, medical corps, relieved. Labor Day was very generally observed in Washington. All public buildings, banks and most places of business were closed. There were many sporting events, including a regatta on the upper Potomac river. Bids were opened at the Treasury Department on the 9th inst. for construction of a public building at Sheridan, Wyoming. The bidders were: Ferguson & Pearson, Sheridan, $146,800; H.

The recent agitation in Washington over the Early leprosy case and in Arizona over the case of Mrs. General Wardwell, who was similarly afflicted, will, it is believed by officials of the public health and marine hospital service, lead to a renewed effort to obtain the establishment at some place in the United States of a national leprosarium for the isolation and treatment of leprosy. Surgeon Gen. Wyman of the public health and marine service, has issued in pamphlet form a paper prepared by Assistant Surgeon Gen. J. M. Eager, giving a history of the spread of bubonic plague during the last fourteen years. It appears by the report that during 1907, 156 cases of plague with 76 deaths occurred at San Francisco. There were also a few cases at Oakland and other close neighbors of San Francisco. At Seattle the report says three fatal cases occurred last October.

Provision is being made at the War Department to increase the garrison at Yellowstone National park. It is proposed to double the force.

One Had Previously Tried It for Fifteen Days and Had Lost Twenty-Four Pounds—Solid Foods Barred by Agreement. St. Louis.—The "Buttermilk Brothers" is the name by which Sam and Joe Weisman, tailors, are now known to their friends. Sam, after fasting for 15 days and taking a week's rest has induced his brother to enlist in the ranks of the starvation army, and they are trotting along side by side on the road to Thinville. Under the terms of their agreement all they are permitted to take is one gallon of buttermilk each day and all the water they care to drink. All solid food is barred. "I am going to stick until I reach the reasonable and gentlemanly weight of 165," Sam said to a reporter. "Fat may be all right for Mr. Taft, but I'd rather be lean than be president. "When I started on my first fast, a month ago, I weighed 202 pounds When I gave up, because my good old mother was afraid I would starve to death, I weighed 181 pounds and never felt better in my life. "All of my friends told me to be careful not to eat too much after breaking my fast. They were afraid I would found. But there was no danger. I couldn't eat much. I didn't hanker after double porterhouse steaks Like I used to. I think that's the best thing about fasting. It reforms your appetite. I feel ashamed when I remember what a glutton I used to be. And Joe was worse. "In the week that I was back on the food wagon I lived mainly on soft-boiled eggs. I ate chicken once, to please my brother, and I ate some fish that my wife cooked, but it didn't taste so good to me. I was glad to get back on a buttermilk diet. It's great, but don't let anybody tell you that it's fattening. I now weigh 176 pounds. Maybe I'm not as strong as I would be on a diet of beefsteak, potatoes au gratin and things like that, but I am healthier." But Joe is having a harder time. Originally he was even heavier than his brother. "If I don't die trying I'm going to stick to buttermilk until I get down to 170. Before I started to fast I weigher 204 pounds. I've lost about nine pounds so far." "My head aches all the time," said Joe. "I was never subject to fits, but I feel one coming on every time anybody says that sweet word 'beefsteak.' "Everybody tells me that after the fourth day I will be all right. It's pretty hard pulling, but I can stand it if Sam can." Friends enticed him into a restaurant the other night. He sat there with a glass of buttermilk and watched them eat good things. "It nearly killed me, but I stuck," says Joe, proudly. Many faddists and physicians have written letters to the Buttermilk Brothers. Dr. J. C. Eales of Belleville, who fasted 31 days, sent them a copy of his book on starvation as an aid to health. He suggested that they might last longer if they drank lemonade instead of buttermilk. QUICKSAND . SWALLOWS . MULES. Span Valued at $500 Sucked Down to Death Before Missouri Farmer. Columbia, Mo.—Completely swallowed in the maw of a quicksand bed 15 feet in diameter was the fate of a $500 pair of mules belonging to M. C. Angell, a farmer of this county, near Rocheport, 15 miles west of here. Only by the hardest work did James Kite and other farmers, whom he called to his aid, succeed in saving another pair of mules equally as valuable from the oozy depths. The hind legs of the two dead animals protruding now give warning of the danger that lurks in the death pit. Mr. Kite is foreman of the farm on which the accident happened. He was plowing a field which the high water had overflowed. It was dry and hard, and four mules were required to pull the plow. In the middle of the field, without warning, the lead team broke through the caking of mud, and before Mr. Kite realized it they were slowly sinking in the sand and dragging the team behind with htm. Kite cut the back mules loose and succeeded in saving them. Only after a hard struggle did they manage to pull their front legs and shoulders out of the mire. POOR GIRL HEIR TO MILLIONS. Restaurant Cashier Entitled to Part of Soldier's $50,000,000. Washington.—Miss Flossie E. Singleton, cashier in a restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, has received word that she is one of the heirs of Joseph Ball, a revolutionary soldier, whose estate is said to have accumulated until it amounts to $50,000,000. "This seems altogether too good to be true, of course," said Miss Singleton. "In fact, I do not even know my great-grandmother's name. What would I do with a few million dollars? Well, it will be time enough to talk about that when I find some evidence that the money is coming my way." The Ball estate is said to comprise now $1,850,000 in cash and some 5,250 acres of land, containing iron, in Meadville, Pa., and other towns in Pennsylvania and the Carolinas, Kentucky and Virginia.

Appetizing Dishes Can Be Prepared from Left-Overs. Cold vegetables should never be thrown away. They can be used in a number of appetizing ways. For example, they may be rubbed through a sieve and used for thickening soup. Potatoes mashed very finely, or rubbed through a wire sieve, so that there can be no hard lumps, can be used in such a variety of ways. Mix a little well beaten egg and milk with them and pepper and salt to flavor, and a little grated cheese, and bake in a well greased pie dish in a fairly hot oven. Mixed with the beaten egg only, into a stiff paste, they can be formed into balls covered with egg and bread crumbs, and either baked on a tin in the oven or fried till a golden brown, and so make a most appetizing looking dish. Sometimes cheese may be mixed with the bread crumbs in which they are dipped before baking. Supposing there is so little as to seem hardly worth saving, mix what is left with an equal quantity of flour, add a little baking powder and enough milk to make into a paste, form into flat cakes and bake to a delicate brown. Buttered and served hot they are not to be beaten. New potatoes and carrots can both be sliced and sauted. They are delicious, and the green of the parsley that is sprinkled over them after cooking makes a pretty looking dish. STOP SQUEAKING OF HINGES. Application of Kerosene Oil Does Away with Annoyance. The noises of squeaky hinges may be stopped by putting on kerosene oil. Brass beds may be kept in condition by rubbing them once or twice a month with olive oil. The oil should be put on with a soft flannel cloth and rubbed off almost immediately with cheesecloth. To destroy flies use the following: Infusion of quassia, one pint; brown sugar, four ounces; ground pepper, two ounces. Mix this well together and put in shallow dishes when required. To destroy flies in a room take half a teaspoonful of black pepper in powder, one teaspoonful of cream, mix well together. Place them in room on plate where flies are troublesome and they will soon disappear. When washing floors or cleaning windows always put a few drops of paraffin in the water, and this will keep away flies, moths, and other insects. Ways of Saving Work. In the home of one woman where single beds are in general use the spreads are made of honeycombed material bought by the yard and hemmed. They are easy to wash and require no ironing. In the same home cream-white madras is used for bedroom window draperies because of its good wearing qualities. It comes out of the wash with flying colors. She trims them with ball fringe and does not have them wrung very dry, and wrung by hand, cf course, as the wringer would flatten the little balls. She uses small rugs all through her house, save the dining room, because they can be taken outdoors every week by the one maid of the establishment. Another woman saves work by having her luncheon brought to her sitting-room on a tray, and another, belonging to a family that seems doomed to perpetual mourning attire, supplies her maid with very light cotton dresses in white and black because there is already too much gloom in the house. The Household Apron Women who do a good part of their own work or, at least, overlook the maid's work, should make four household aprons. These keep the entire frock clean. They are made of dull blue, gray or brown gingham and reach to the edge of the gown. They are buttoned down the back and have wide, deep sleeves put into deep armholes, then gathered at the wrist to a one-inch turnover cuff fastened with a pearl button. They are cut V-shape at the neck, back and front and finished with a two-inch flat stitched band. There are four pockets, the two lower ones larger than the upper ones and all big enough to hold the things that are needed in cleaning or dusting or washing. Vanilla Custard Ice Cream. Beat the yolks of six eggs lightly, add to them one quart fresh milk and one cup sugar, put in a double boiler and cook to a smooth custard. As soon as the mixture coats a spoon take from the fire and strain. Then set away to cool. When quite cold add one pint cream, more sugar if desired and a tablespoonful vanilla. When the freezer is ready for the cream to be turned into the can add the beaten whites of the eggs, then freeze. If the ice cream is to be molded a tablespoonful gelatine soaked half an hour in a half cup milk reserved from the custard may be added when the custard is done. Rye Biscuits. Put one cup of cornmeal in a bowl, pour over it sufficient boiling water to moisten thoroughly. When cool add one pint of scalded milk, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one teaspoonful of salt and two tablespoons of sugar. When lukewarm add one third of yeast cake softened in lukewarm water and sufficient white flour to make a drop batter. Beat well and set aside until light and spongy. Then add rye flour to make soft dough. Flour the board well and roll out. When light bake as usual. THE BEST ICE CREAM AND CANDIES AT O. P. Baur & Co.

GARTER AND BAG THE BLOOMS A garter carrying a bag for jewels or money is made of silk covered elastic and fastened with a big rosette of narrow ribbon knotted in the center of the loops. A small bag is attached to it by loops of the narrow ribbon, which support the bag. This is made of a figured tafta four and a half to five inches wide. It should be lined with a plain ribbon or silk. Chamois and channel may be used for lining. The little bag is made in the form of an envelope. ▲ decided novelty in the way of musicales was given recently by a charming musician and her husband. They have done and are doing a wonderful work for children. The invitations were issued to the youthful guests with the request to bring "the dolly they loved-the best to the doll musicale." The hostess was assisted by a much-beloved corn-husk dolly who belongs to this musical household. On the day appointed there were over 30 dolls of various ages and stations in life assembled in demure silence to listen to the following clever program: "Dolly Lost and Dolly Found".....Martin "The Japanese Doll".....Swift "Sleep, Dolly, Sleep".....Dance Dolly, Dance" ..... Rehnecke "Dolly Goes to Sleep" ..... Goodrich Song—"I Love the Old Doll Best" Gaynor "In Dolly's Kitchen" ..... Hollander "Doll's Dance" ..... Tschalkowski "Dance of the Marionettes" ..... Mrs. Crosby Adams "Overture to the Marionettes" ..... Gurlitt Song—"My Dear Jerushy" ..... Gaynor Song—"Now Go to Sleep, My Dolly" ..... Mrs. Crosby Adams "Teaching Dolly to Waltz" ..... Bartlett "Funeral Marche of a Marionette" Gounod "Poupe Valsaint" ..... Rollini "Dancing Doll" ..... Seeboeck "Doll's Reverie" ..... Mrs. Crosby Adams The children were perfectly delighted and took in the ideas expressed to the great satisfaction of the hostess. It was a revelation to find that all the world loves a doll, as is evidenced by the fact that "music-makers of every clime" have "told the doll's own story in song and rhyme." This suggestion may be carried out easily, as the selections are within reach of the average musican. Two Outdoor Games. These games are just the thing for outdoor parties, which may be given all the month of September. The first is called "Deer Foot." All the players are different kinds of deer: Reindeer, elk, moose, red deer, fallow deer or mule deer, antelope and fawns. For the forest trees have pieces of paper held to the ground with sharpened sticks, or real trees if they are available. There must be one less tree than deer. The extra deer stands in the middle of the "forest." A leader is chosen by popular vote or by the host, and all follow him, skipping lightly around the "forest." Suddenly the deer in the center calls "Deerfoot"—and all run rapidly to a tree for shelter. Of course the deer in the middle is after a tree, too. The deer who falls to find a tree is called a snail and takes his place in the center and the game proceeds. The Wigwam. Half of the players hide and have ten minutes to make their trail with cut papers (confetti) or corn. Each Indian goes a different way. Then at the expiration of the time limit the other players, who are "white men," go on the trail and the game is to see who can return to the wigwam first with his Indian. While these are supposed to be boys' games, girls enjoy them, too. I speak from experience, for it was the delight of my childhood days to "play Indian," and I still thrill with genuine terror when I think of my fear of being scaled. Three Guessing Games. These three interesting games were contributed by a reader of the department. Mme. Merri is most grateful and always glad to receive new and original arrangements of even old ideas. ACTORS.

Scocum INVOGUE For morning wear and tennis, golf and boating, what is so cool and sensible as a dainty little laydown collar finished with a mull tie, silk scarf or brooch? The eagerness with which women have adopted the Dutch or Puritan collar proves conclusively that when comfort is sought high clasping collars are entirely ignored. An effective little finish for the tall collar is simply narrow velvet ribbon of any desired shade, finished with tassels of silk or gold, or carrying a tiny buckle near the center. The sleeves of the lingerie blouses and shirt-walsters for next winter will be long, with few exceptions, and those will be for the elaborate lace blouses to be worn with afternoon costumes, for bridge, etc. Wall Decorations. For a drawing-room nothing in the wall decoration line could be lovelier and more novel than a wedgewood pattern, with the background of a paler shade of wedgewood blue and the medallions of the darker shade relieved with white. The woodwork and trim of such an apartment should be white. Either blue or that soft green which is a characteristic shade of wedgewood pottery is effective when used in this way. The carpet should match and if the wedgewood design is reproduced in the center it will emphasize the scheme of the decorations. SAVE LABOR IN WASHING. Simple and Effective Method of Cleansing Cotton Fabrics. To wash all the fuzzy cotton fabrics so much used for night dresses for children and grown-ups, the easiest way is to prepare a tub full of good warm lather made with a mild soap. Add the garments one by one, but only so many at a time as will leave a generous amount of water over them, say six inches at least above the clothes level. Let them soak half an hour, then pull out the stop cork, push the garments to one side and let the soiled water run off. Repeat the soaping, this time rubbing soap directly on the soiled spots, and let them swim in warm water for 15 minutes. Nearly all of the invisible oil and the visible as well as invisible dirt will by this means float off the nap of the garments, leaving them almost or quite clean. A good squeezing and a rinsing in two waters and the garments are perfectly clean. Much time and rubbing is thus saved. While the clothes are soaking the maid may attend to other household matters. A lump of borax to both the cleans ing waters is an improvement. HOW TO STENCIL A WALL. Simple Method of Securing the Most Artistic Effects. Very artistic effects can be secured by stenciling a wall. It makes a break in the plain surface and very harmonic contrasts and dainty color schemes can be worked out by the use of stencils. To use the stencil successfully start at one corner of the room, press the stencil firmly against the wall, have the material that you are going to stencil with mixed up ready for use, dip the ends of your brush in this, and simply rub it across the face of the stencil, being careful not to get too much stuff on the brush so that it will run back of the stencil and blur or blot. When you finish one section remove the stencil from the wall and carefully match it for the next. An ordinary round paint brush is as good a stencil brush as any. Tie the bristles about half way down so that they will not spread, and in using dip the tips of the bristles into the tinting material. — Country Life in America. Cold Cozy. Make a "cozy" the same as for a teapot, as it will keep the tea hot for a long time so it will keep your milk cold. Take a piece of oilcloth or rubber sheeting and fit it loosely to a milk bottle rounding it off at the top; do not plait or gather in any fullness of the cloth on this inside lining, as you will need to wipe it off to clean it occasionally, seep up the seam, the finished side of the cloth toward the bottle, pad this thick on the outside with cotton, make an outside covering of oilcloth, the finished side out, cut a little round piece for the top with a strip of the cloth across it for a handle, plait the fullness to this and sew; put the padded lining into this and sew together at the bottom, gathering the fullness of the outer cover to the lining. You may also make a pad for the bottom, but this is not necessary. Instruct your milkman to put them on the milk bottles when he delivers them. This will also keep your milk from freezing in winter. To Rid a House of Flies. A good way to rid your house of flies is to mix in a small watering pot equal parts of crude petroleum, or if that is not attainable use kerosene, and sprinkle all outhouses, barns, garbage piles or drains with the mixture. Then sprinkle the window sills and wipe off the netting on your screens with a cloth wet with kerosene, and you will soon see the flies disappear. This, too, will prevent you with being bothered with mosquitoes, which are so troublesome this year. Do this quite often during the summer months, say two or three times a week. The kerosene not only drives the flies away, but when the places where they breed are sprinkled the eggs will be destroyed and the household will be saved from this miserable pest. This method has been tried and found to be excellent. Apricots Dried in Sugar. Peel and cut in halves some ripe apricots; remove the stones and weigh the fruit. Boil fruit for a few minutes in water, remove, drain and put them in a bowl. For every pound of fruit place one pound of sugar in a kettle with one-half pint of water for each pound of sugar, and boil to a soft ball; add the apricots, let them boil up twice, then pour them into a bowl. Twenty-four hours later drain the apricots in a sieve and dust them with sugar; then transfer them to a dish, dust them with sugar again and place them in a cool oven, turn them, add more sugar; continue this way until they are dry, then wrap in paper. All kinds of fruit except berries may be prepared in the same way. Home-Made Lard. Home-tried lard is much better and sweeter, and perhaps cleaner than that bought ready-made. Leaf-lard may be purchased of the butcher, if it is not a product of one's own farm. It should be tried out with care to preserve it from scorching. A few minutes before it is turned out from the frying kettle into jars and while it is still hot, but not too hot, a teaspoonful of salt for each quart of fat should be added, the lard being cooled slowly for five minutes longer. The salt will keep it sweet. The jars containing it should be set in a cool, dark place. OPEN DAY AND NIGHT. PHONE MAIN 3230.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Peonies as a Medicine. Peonies were originally esteemed less for beauty of bloom than for value as a medicine. In recognition of its curative virtues, the peony was named after Paeon, the physician of the gods. An old writer says: “About an Infant's neck hang peonie. It cures Alcydes cruell maladie.” Nor did the use of the plant stop there, for peony water was esteemed and drank in by- gone times, though whether as medi- cine or merely as a refreshing tem- perance beverage is more than modern writers can say.

CASE TO BE APPEALED CLAUSE HELD UNCONSTITUTION. AL THAT PROHIBITS CARRY- ING ON COAL BUSINESS. Philadelplia.—Declaring it to be drastic, harsh and unreasonable and an invasion of the rights of the staves and therefore repugnant to the consti- tution, the United States Circuit Court for the Bastern district of Pennsyl- vania Thursday dismissed the suits of the Federal government to enforce the commodities clause of the Hepburn rajlroad act against the anthracite coal carriers of this state. Judges George Gray and George H. Dallas filed opinions dismissing the suits, and Judge Joseph Buffington dis- sented, but «id not file an opinion. ‘The commodities clause prohibits railroad companies from transporting in interstate commerce any article or commodity manufactured, mined or produced by them or under their au- thority. ‘The case was argued in June, United States Attorney General Bonaparte delivering the principal argument for the government. The effect of the commodities clause, if constitutional, would be to confine the mining of anthracite coal by the railroads for use in Pennsyl- yania only and compel the railroads to sell all the mining property they are interested in either directly or in- directly. The case will be appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court by the government. ‘The principal opinion was written by Judge Gray, who as president of the Anthracite Strike commission, has an intimate knowledge of the mining of hard coal and of the many ramifica: tions in the ownership of the coal mines. Judge Dallas said in his opinion that it cannot be denied that the commodi- ties clause was enacted, “not actually for the regulation of interstate com- merce, but really to coerce the con- formity of intrastate business with a ‘policy’ approved by Congress.” Judge Gray in his opinion discussed at great length the limitations put upon Congress by the constitution and concluded as follows: “From every point of view which we have been able to approach the ques: tion, the unreasonableness and conse- quent invalidity of this so-called ‘com- modities clause’ is apparent. It in- vades the rights of the state, by stril- ing down the liberties hitherto inno- cently enjoyed by its citizens, under the laws and usages of the common- -wealth, to engage in interstate com- merce to the fullest extent as to all harmless articles, whether owned or not owned by the carrier, and deprives of their property these defendants, contrary to the letter and spirit of the fifth amendment to the constitution. “If the enactment in question be warranted by the commerce clause of the constitution, it is hard to see what bounds may be set to the exerelse of that power, It will be an open door through which the forces of centraliza- tion hitherto unknown may enter at will, to the overthrow of that just bal- ance between federal and state power, for which the makers of the constitu- tion so wisely provided as an essen- tial to the preservation of our dual form of government, “Ample as is the scope of legisla- tive power granted by the language of the commerce clause, and far as the Supreme Court has undoubtedly gone in sustaining the validity of legisia- tion under it, we think it may be safe- ly said that no assertion of this power hiehtrto by Congress has been so far- reaching, or affected in so serious a degree the Individual liberty and prop- erty rights enjoyed under the consti- tution and !aws of a state as the en- actment we are here considering, It is not to be denied that the right to carry in interstate commerce — coal which they own in whole or in part, or which is mined or produced by them or under their authority, or by coal companies in which they are stock- holders, was, until the passage of the act in question, a lawful right of these defendants; that it was a common right of property was neither denied nor disputed by the common or statute law of Pennsylvania; that it was a most important property right, the en- joyment and exercise of which. was neither criminal nor immoral and sub- Ject only to any restraints imposed upon {ts possessors by the common or statute law of the state or by the then existing statutes of the United States so far as they were engaged in inter- Haggott Renominated.

Pueblo—Charles Mow, a patient at the state insane asylum, Thursday hurled a teacup at John Garvey, au- other patient, striking him over the right temple, killing him instantly, The accident occurred in the dining room while the patients were being seated for dinner. Two nurses standing at either end of the hall witnessed the kliling. Mow has been a patient for twenty-two years, and was sent here from Fremont county. The victim came from Saguache county nine years ago. A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING | PAINT. Everybody should know how simple and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty in buying paint materials. There are many so-called white leads on the market, which contain chalk, zinc, barytes, and other cheap adulterants. Unless the property owner takes ad- vantage of the simple means of pro tection afforded him by reliable white lead manufacturers, he runs great risk of getting an tferior and adulterated white lead. It is to protect the paint-buyer against fraud and adulteration that National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine Pure White Lead, place their famous “Dutch Boy Paint- er” trademark on every keg of their product, an absolute guarantee of its purity and quality.

Best Method for the Protection of a Diamond Stud. “An acquaintance of mine had @ queer experience the other day,” said @ man who has not much faith in any- thing. “A short time ago he was in- troduced to a pickpocket by a friend. The pickpocket is one of the best in the business. “My friend didn’t think anything more about him, but the other night he was in e saloon, after he had been celebrating most of the day. He was pretty happy and the pickpocket came in, My friend had a diamond stud in his tie with a screw attachment, The pickpocket walked up. “*You may not remember me,’ he said, ‘but I met you the other night with so and so. Take a bit of advice from me. You may lose that shiner of yours if you're not careful.’ Then the pickpocket looked at the diamond. He said the screw attach- ment wouldn't stop a good thief from getting the diamond, but he could fix it. He fished around in his pockets and produced a rubber band, which he tled around the screw. “‘Now,’ he said, ‘they can only get your stone by biting it off.” Pe A Scotchman stood beside the bed of his dying wife, and in tearful ac- cents asked was there anything he could do for her. a “Yes, Sandie,” she said; “I'm hop- Ing you'll bury me in Craeburn kirk- yard.” “But, my lass,” he cried, “only think of the awful expense! Would ye no be comfortable here in Aber- deen?” “No, Sandie; (d no rest in my grave unless I were buried in Crae- burn.” “It's too much you're askin’,” sald the loving husband, “and I cannot promise ye ony such thing.” “Then, Sandie, I'll no give you ony peace until my bones are at rest in my native parish.” “Ah, weel, Maggie,” sald he, “I'll Just gio ye a three-month trial in Aberdeen, an’ see how ye get along.” GRASSVILLE SUMMER TOURISTS.

MOTHER AND CHILD Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts. The value of this famous food is shown in many ways, in addition to what might be expected from its chem- seal analysis. Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked for many hours and contains all the wholesome ingredients in these ce- reals, It contains’ also the phosphate of potash grown in the grains, which Na- ture uses to build up brain and nerve cells. Young children require proportion- ately more of this element because the brain and nervous system of the child grows so rapidly. A Va. mother found the value of Grape-Nuts in not only building up her own strength but in nourishing her baby at the same time. She writes: “After my baby came I did not re cover health and strength, and the doctor said I could not nurse the baby as I did not have nourishment for her, besides I was too weak. “He said I might try a change of diet and see what that would do, and recommended Grape-Nuts food. I bought a pkg. and used it regularly. A marked change came over both baby and T. “My baby is now four months old, 4s in fine condition, I am nursing her and doing all my work and never felt better in my life.” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co,, Battlo Creek, Mich, Read “The Road to Well- ville,” in pkgs.

It is used by physicians with Tesults most gratifying, The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the Tesult of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless$ Secon¢—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi- lates the food: 7sié—It is an agreeable and perfoct substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc, This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how- ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health, The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hail’s Journal of Health.

In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I alwaya see that my patients get Fletcher's.” Dr. Wm.J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas- toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse- ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my exper!- ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex- ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints.

NEW TOUCHES FOR GIRDLES. Good Idea Is to Follow Nature as| Small Details That Will Be Found to Closely as Possible. Prove Charming Additions. It is well to remember that all flowers look better for loosening up a trifle and few look well packed tightly together. One of the safe rules to fol- low {s to heed the natural growth of the flower whenever possible. Flowers that grow in thick clusters are cer- ‘tain to look well in masses, while those that grow singly and far apart should not be crowded. The object should always be to bring out the whole beauty of the flowers and to let everything else be secondary to that. Chrysanthemums and sweet peas are examples of the few flowers that do not need foliage as a relief. Nearly all others look far better amid green leaves. A trailing green vine is often Just the touch that is needed to soften a stiff arrangement. Asparagus fern Is an airy, feathery green, suitable only for fragile and delicate flowers in loose arrangement. Wood sorrel has delicate leaves that look well with sweet peas and other small flowers, but as a rule a flower’s own foliage sults it best. ‘The vases used play an important part in the success of flower arrange- ment. Colorless, transparent vases are always safe aud sometimes abso- lutely necessary. Bowls are beautiful for short-stemmed flowers, and the cheaper variety are sometimes the best. An ordinary glass fish globe dis- plays the full beauty of the stems to far greater advantage than a cut-glass rose bowl. The colorless glass olive bottle, going straight up and down, is more to be desired than opaque -yases, which hide decorative stems. Tall, slender vases are suitable for long-stemmed flowers. It is said that the height of long-stemmed flowers should be 1% times the height of the vase. Yellow flowers in a dark blue jar are effective, and brilliant red flowers look well in the neutral gray Jars of some of the Japanese ware. The pur- ple violet finds its richness intensified in a pale yellow jar, Pansies and violets both look their best in a heavy far, preferably of cylindrical shepe. It is well not to mix flowers of dif- ferent kinds and different colors. A cluster of blossoms all presenting the same hue is usuaily the most ef- fective arrangement. Some flowers, such as a chrysanthemum or a rose, when long-stemmed and handsome, are set off te advantage when a sin- gle flower alone occupies the vase. Tailor-Made Accessories. Much of the smart effect of any tallor-made suit depends upon its ac- cessories, Needless to say, anything savoring of the directoire should not be accompanied by a linen collar and a stiff little tie. These belong to what {s known as the English type of street suit, meaning the severely tailored box or semi-fitting coat and gored or platted skirt, minus trimming. With the French model there should be a high lace collar or a chiffon stock— giving the desired soft effect about the chin—and the frilly lacey front, in ad- dition of the wrist ruffles, which should be of finest hand-weave or hand embroidery, immaculately white. NEW TOUCHES FOR GIRDLES. Small Details That Will Be Found t Prove Charming Additions. Nearly every modiste has ideas of her own with reference to girdieg and ‘belts, whleh she dovelops as occasion offers, and while there is no very great latitude possible with the ordinary frock, still many small detafls may be used that give original - touches to the costume and prove charming ad- ditions. For example, one clever foreign modiste takes two or three rings cov- ered with heavy silk, buttonholed around the edges, and through these the ribbons or folds of the material are drawn in varlous combinations, Another girdle of ribbon by. the same modiste has for flowered mus- lin or silk frocks a cluster of blossoms matching some of those in the dress drawn loosely through a knot in the girdle. In this case the knot should be at the center front or to one side of it. A young girl, for whom this dress- maker made an organdie lawn party frock in white with blackberry blos: soms and leaves in lavender and pink, had a cluster of white berry blossoms and a cluster of unripe berries pulled through the white silk sash drawn high at the left side, and her large white leghorn hat was trimmed with trails of berry vines showing the white flowers and also now and then unripe green berries and an occa- stona) purple one. For the Drinkers. Did you know that there is a cor rect and incorrect way to hold the saucer in which your teacup rests? ‘The correctness consists in whether or not it is held gracefully. Watch the women at an afternoon tea and you will see that not all, indeed few, han- dle the cup and saucer in the most en- gaging way. Here is the secret: In- stead of holding the saucer with the four fingers placed beneath {t and the thumb above the rim—as nearly every woman does—form a half circle with the thumb and first finger, clasping the saucer in it, and giving a slight support with the third and fourth fin. gers, PRETTY SUMMER HAT.

As Preserves They Are One of the Most Popular of Winter Delica- cles—Shortcake Good for Lovers of Pastry. | Bartlett pear time ts at hand.. The | Pear au naturel is best and it should not be too ripe or soft, but firm and yet mellow and rich in honeyed quali- lies. Of pears the Bartlett is the queen. The sweet litle duchesse pears are just the fruit for a nice breakfast tidbit, and then there are new pears of strange names which the fruiterers recommend. As for the hard fall pears, their salvation lies in being baked, and stewed. Pear preserves are a delicacy not to be despised in winter, and pickled pears. with spices are one of the stand- bys for company occasions. Canned pears are not at all hard to make, are truly far better than anyone can buy. and much cheaper in the long run. Remarks have been made regarding the unhealthfulncss of pears, and on- this score let it be said that pears are more sinned against than sinning. It pears are allowed to ripen to a certain stage on the tree, are picked and eat- en when one is not overtired, there is blessing in the juices and delight in the flavor. But it pears are picked green and ripen unnaturally off the tree, become lumpy and hard in spots, soft in others, and a tired, hot per- son bolts them unmasticated, who wonders at a rebellious ache! ‘The Delineator gives*four ways of using pears. Of these pear shortcake will make the strongest appeal to lov- ers of pastry. Stew the pears with plenty of sugar and spice, and a little orange or lemon juice, to bring out the flavor. When cooked very tender, press through a colander, add such additional seasoning as may seem nec- essary, and spread the sauce liberally over some old-fashioned shortcake crust. To make the latter, take two cupfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of lard and sufficient sweet milk to make the dough. Mix thoroughly, and bake un- til the crust is brown and crisp; then split it through the center, butter it generously, and cover with the fruit. Baked stuffed pears is another dish that invarlebly meets with a favorable reception. For this purpose only the larger pears should be selected. Peel and core them, and stuft the centers with a paste composed of dates, figs and chopped nut meats. Bake them until they are tender, keeping just enough water in the pan to make it impossible for them to burn. Serve with sweetened whipped cream. Pears make quite as good dumplings as apples, when covered with male cult crust and baked, or they may be served as fritters by being dipped in batter and fried in deep fat. Pear charlotte may be made with cooking pears. Peel, core and mince six large pears and cook them with a teacupful of powdered sugar and the peel of half a lemon, but with as little water as possible. As soon as the moisture has been reduced, but be- fore there has been time for the fruit to dissolve, move the pan farther from the fire, extract the lemon peel, add marmalade and cool. Line a buttered charlotte mold with paste, fill with the, pear and apricot mixture, af™fx the top crust, and bake for about 35 minutes, or until browned in a hot oven. Serve with a sauce flayored with apricot jam. Fp FF OE AD oe aa RE ge aaa Sg erage en NSO ON NTO ’ RESCRIPTION L,-L.

Flavor of Canned Goods. Canned fruits and vegetables should be removed from their tins or glasses several hours before using and left in a large flat dish where the air can reach them freely. This is said to do away with a certain pecullar flavor, or rather to restore the natural flavor to the canned goods.
