The article will have a number of illustrations from photographs. The Easter services were well attended at our churches Sunday. The churches were all well decorated and the programs were good. Perhaps the most unique and interesting program was that given by the Union Congregational S. S. It consisted of special papers on Easter and how observed in other countries; solos, duets, recitations and the prettiest part was the Easter dill and lily song by the infant class of 19 little tots from three years old up, led by their teacher, Miss Marie Bell, who deserves much credit for the hard work she done. She was assisted by Miss Ada Clegget, the organist. The Easter rally at the A. M. E. church did very nicely considering the dull season at this time of the year. They realized nearly $300 00.

B. Cummins as a candidate for the office of United States Senator. To my mind, and by his past record Hon. A. B. Cummins is the truest example of the Lincoln type of Americanism, knowing no man by his color, creed or position, but appreciate his worth, thrift and integrity A. B. Cummins has by his treatment towards the Afro-American voters set a mark by which we can measure him a standard of right and justice, and by which should prove him worthy of our fullest confidence, our profound love, and most sincere gratitude. He is like a new star, or a star new to the astromer, yet always in the heavens, but by the providence of God just revealed to us. Fearlessness and wisdom marks his life as a choice of the people. As Governor, impartiality, integrity and advocacy of right for the oppressed, characterizes him as a superb leader of the abolition heritage. Every Negro who casts a vote for A. B. Cummins at the primaries in June, will exercise an act of wisdom, for we are in need of such men in the Senate to defend our rights. Respectfully, O. W. CURTIS, Rome, Ga. NEW POST MASTER.

Work for Homeless Children. One of every seven hundred and fifty human beings is a homeless child, says The Delineator. This means one hundred and sixteen thousand children who are homeless today in this country. Thirteen thousand of these are at present in homes under the care of the National Children's Home Society. Nearly one hundred thousand are in orphanages, asylums and various institutions throughout the country. There is still a great work before the National Home-Finding Society—and work which The Delineator is proud to share, for the work will be incomplete until every healthy, normal child has been placed where it will receive its greatest need—father and mother love.

Windsor left Saturday morning for a few days visit with Mrs. Skyes of Fairfield, Ia. Gladstone as a Phrasemaker. Mr. Gladstone was a master of the art of phrasemaking. It was he who first declared "The flowing tide is with us," who dubbed himself the "Old Parliamentary Hand," and used the now everyday expressions "Within measurable distance," "by leaps and bounds," and "within the range of practical politics." the tariff of the Indian railways is lowest of any in the world.

John D. Rockefeller advises people to save money. People with plenty of money, declares the Nashville Banner, find it might easy to give such advice. The population of the world could be contained in Delaware if they were as congested as the people in 11 New York city blocks, at the rate of 1,000 per acre. A woman in New York has been sent to jail for husband-beating. This is another strong illustration of the prejudice against allowing women to encoach on masculine perogatives. Now that the Spanish master of the horse has given orders that King Alfonso is not to be photographed while wearing the Andalusian costume, as it appears in his film, which during aamateur photographer will be the first to get a snap? Almost all the world's supply of black diamonds comes from a comparatively small area in the central part of the state of Bahla, Brazil. The homes are found in gravel and conglomerated formations. They are used for rock drilling, and of late years their value has been greatly enhanced. King Edward took half a dozen American rocking chairs along with him to Blirritz.

The majority of persons will agree that this treatment will be effective when applied to the purely imaginative disorders of the mind, but the serious and painful forms, when they themselves will need serious and real treatment. Just at present the child is receiving a lot of attention, and varied the methods suggested for his "bringing up"—mental suggestion and "vibrations" being among those recently put forward. But in the end it will not be surprising if the advice that a man who said "Spare the rod and spoil the child" will receive general attention. Dogs in Mohammedan countries have even more freedom than with us, not because Mohammedans love them more, but because it is impious to kill or molest an animal, however mean, that Allah lets live. But there is no bittersweet insult to to call a Moslem a dog. "The Swiss Family Robinson" is not admitted at the Turkish custom house because it tells about a dog named Turk. "To be duned" is a phrase more familiar than popular. Yet "to dun" can claim an ancestry equal or superior to a good many of the sprigs of nobility that frequently land on our shores. It is said that the verb originated in the name of John Dun, a bailiff of Lincoln, in the time of Henry VII. of England; that it became proverbial to say of any one who was slow to pay, that the creditor must "dun him," that is, send Dun after him. The Cotton chapel, connected with St. Botolph's church, in the little old Lincolnshire town of Boston, England, was restored some years ago, largely through subscriptions from members of the Episcopal church in Boston, Mass.

This is the best of three successive flights and beats all records. The test took place at Isay France, and seems to be the latest and most notable achievement in the flying line. Doubtless it will strengthen the air force's enthusiasm that the problem of air navigation has been solved. But it will require more than a machine capable of staying in the air two minutes and a quarter to make aeroplane using a useful IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. FILES A SENSATIONAL SUIT. MANY ORCHARDS DEAD. City of Dubuque Demands Large Sum From Prominent Men. Extent of Damage From 1907 Hail Is Just Reallend Dubuque—City Attorney Kitzlinger has filed three suits naming the bondsmen of Arthur McArthur and ex-struse P. J. Ryder and John Ellwanger of the Dubuque municipality, owners of the water works plant, as defendants, and claiming of them in total $50,000. This sum is alleged to be due the city for mismanagement on the part of the latter two, and from the bondsmen of McArthur for the embroachment of thousands of dollars while serving as superintendent of the water works. McArthur confessed his crime and now is doing time in Fort Madison prison. The action of the city has created a sensation, and is the sequel of a long drawn out discussion of the bondmen. Ellwanger and Ryder resigned from the trusteeship under pressure. Their management all but wrecked the water plant. The bondsmen named as defendants are Dubuque's most prominent citizens, Peter Klene, F. W. Altman, W. F. Bonson and Robert Bansen. The city is now contesting a suit brought by Martin Strall seeking recovery of $40,000 on coal account for the water works, which they had no knowledge had been contracted. The $50,000 is the amount alleged to have been lost through crookedness and mismanagement. The defendants named declare they will fight the case. WILL PROSECUTE SALOONS City Prosecutor of Des Moines Get After Violators Des Moines—City Prosecutor Fred Williams started the fight on saloons to prevent the sale of liquor to minors and drunkards. He caused information to be filed against Samuel Day, an East Side saloonkeeper, and against William R. Spence, druggist at 307 Walnut street, under the mulet law. Line with the notice publicly issued to saloonkeepers through the newspapers a week ago. In which Judge A. K. Stewart warned them of his intent to enforce the law, the two cases have been decided upon as fit tests to show the saloons that they must obey the law in Des Moines. Samuel Day, one of the best known of East Side saloonkeepers, is the first man to fall under the ban. It is alleged in the information drawn up by Williams and signed by the wife, William Spence, known to the police, was given liquor while he was drunk in the Day saloon, 427 East Walnut street, Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. SHOOTING AT WINTERSET Telephone Mahager Tompkins Shoots Thomas Fee. Winterset—In a quarrel in the Stanfield hotel, Manager Tompkins, of the Hawkeye Telephone company, shot Thomas Fee, an employee in a marble works, wounding him in the leg near the knee. Fee was able to retrieve the body of the doctor had attended him, and the wound will not prove serious unless infection sets in. There is considerable mystery about the cause of the quarrel. The two men, both of whom are at the hotel, have had a growing animosity for each other for some secret reason and just before the shooting they engaged in an altercation. Fifty other words had bed to the throat and blows, Tompkins pulled a revolver and shot Fee. MURRAY HAS A BIG FIRE Loss About $5,000, Thought To Be Of Incidental Origin. Murray—Fire which is supposed to have been of incendiary origin, destroyed four buildings in the business section of the city. The damages amounted to more than $5,000. The fire, which broke out in a millinery店, rapidly spread to the Murray hotel, which burned to the ground. Although the hotel was filled with guests all escaped without injuries. Two vacant two-story buildings in the same block were destroyed. The fire broke out about midnight and raged for more than an hour before it was checked. It is thought that the fire was the act of an incendiary. JOHN N. BALDWIN DIES. Noted iowan Passed Away at Omaha on the 19th. Omaha—John N. Baldwin, one of Iowa's most noted sons, died on the morning of the 19th. Mr. Baldwin was general collector of the Union Pacific Railroad company, having removed here from Council Bluffs in 1901 to assume the duties of that position. He was 60 years of age and for twenty-nine years was a professor of the law in Council Bluffs and Omaha. He was a son of Caleb Baldwin, one of the conspicuous jurists of early Iowa, and for several years a member of the supreme court of the state. Mother Finds Child Dead Logan.—Mrs. L. P. Jacobs found her little son dead under a cultivator wheel on the farm southeast of Logan. No one saw the accident but it is thought that the child climbed upon the cultivator and fell under the wheel as the cultivator ran down a sharp incline. Cut Throat in Dubuque Jail. Dubuque.—John Foelek, in jail on a five day's penalty for drunkenness, was shot by a piece of tin plate. There is little hope of his recovery. He was a well known character about town. Extent of Damage From 1907 Hall Is Just Realized. Council Bluffs—The people living in the district in the western part of Mills county which was swept by a terrific wind and hall storm July 6 of last year, have not realized until this spring the full extent of the loss they sustained. Last year trees burned on soot from the shock, but his son was dead and the district stands out in marked contrast to the surrounding territory, which is a living green. The region hit by the storm, comprising about sixty square miles, is called the Wabonsie hills from the fact that the country is much broken and that an Indian chief, Wabonsie, is buried somewhere in their environments. This region is diversified, alternating between small farms, fruit orchards and tracts of natural hardwood wood. Last year the loss of all crops was complete—grass, grain, corn and fruits of all kinds. Not a vestige of vegetation was left growing and the leaves and small branches of the trees were battered off. Later in the season the trees put forth a scant foliage, but his effort seemed to have been a dying flicker of life. Now it is very evident that fruit, forest, shade and ornamental trees in the storm district are dead. Hundreds of acres of mature, bearing orchards are fit only for the brush heap, and many stretches of fine hardwood timber will stand leafless and decaying in green. In a three days' storm through the damaged territory, not a wood flower or bird was seen. The storm district is a ghastly wound on the face or nature in a region that is otherwise fair and blooming. It will take a good many years to restore the country to its former condition. IT WAS ONLY AN ACCIDENT Mystery of Death of Collins Farmer Is Cleared Collins.—For a time the people of Collins and Story county thought that they had a murder mystery to solve in the strange death of Otto Dolph, the young farmer who was found dead on his wedding day at the farm house he had provided for himself and his bride, a horrible gunshot wound in his forehead. But the coroner's jury declared that there was no evidence to support suicide, and that the young man met his death through accident. According to the evidence taken before the jury, Dolph borrowed a shot gun to kill skunks that infested his outbuildings. This gun was found near the body, one exploded shell in the gun, another on the ground near, indicating that the young man had been shooting. A spade with which Dolph had been digging a hole under the barn foundation was also at hand. It was the theory adopted by the jurors that while he was digging, the skunks were inside side of the barn for quick use and that it fell, discharging as it fell and sending its deadly load into his fore head, just above the nose. SUES DAVIS FOR $20,000 Former City Physician Miller Wants Damages Des Molines—As he sat with fushed face agerly scanning the faces of the jurors summoned to the jury box in criminal court, M. E. Davis, on trial for wife murder, was served with notice of suit for damages of $20,000 brought by Dr. J. E. Miller. Dr. Miller, formerly city physician, demands that amount as recompense for the injuries he received when Davis, after frig a fatal bullet into his wife's knee, turned his weapon upon the physician and sent a bullet through Dr. Miller's lungs. So, even if he is acquitted of the charge of murdering his young wife, Davis must again go on trial as the result of his February drunken escape.

ALL GRADES OF BATTLESHIPS Two MORE YET! CONGRATULATIONS BENTON WASHINGTON STAR SECOND BATTLE ON LIQUOR DRYS WIN 44 ILINOIS TOWNS BUT LOSE IN 66. Their Victory in Pinckneyville and Effingham Offset by Defeat in Other Places. Chicago. — Friends and foes of saloons in Illinois Tuesday waged their second battle of the month, the theater of war being in the southern section of the state, but its rumbles reached up into Cook and Dupage counties, where eight of the ten towns that voted up the saloon. Despite the energetic campaign of the anti-saloonists, the lion forces seemed to have more than held their own. They lost Pickneyville, with its ten saloons, and Effingham, with an even dozen bar rooms, with an number of smaller towns and villages. In Calio, where the hottest kind of conflict was waged, the anti-saloonists were infinitely routed, the city voting by 4,008 to 655 to keep its 70 licensed saloons. In Murphyphsboro the local option leaders weakened after the April 7 election and withdrew their petition under which another vote would have been taken on the saloon question. The cohorts of "Demon Rum" spared no effort in Champaign county, where the April election left Ivesdale the only oasis in the county. The vote confirmed that of two weeks ago, and in several of the smaller towns of the county license aldermen and trustees were elected. This insures the licensing of saloons in the event the supreme court declares unconstitutional the present local option law, a test of being a judge. Antitrust enforcement were elected in Mara, Fairfield, Fairbury, Millidgeville, Fisher and Robinson. Aldermen or trustees pledged to license saloons if permitted by law to do so were elected in Assumption, Pontiac, Rock Falls, Sycamore and Thomasboro. Officials of the Anti-Saloon league had declared their hope of adding five counties—Morgan, Scott, Perry, Calhoun and Pulaski—to the list of counties in the state that are totally dry, but in each of them, according to there is still left at least one precinct where the saloon may exist legally.

Permission Given to Apply for Habeas Corpus Writ. Poughicepe, N. N. — The first s.e.p in proceedings looking to. the release of Harry K. Thaw from the state asylum for the criminal insane at Mattewan was taken Monday. James G. Graham of Newburgh, former secretary to Gov. Odell, appeared as Thaw's counsel before Justice Morschauer of the New York state supreme court at White Plains and applied for an order directing the superintendent of the asylum to permit Thaw to sign an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The order was promptly granted and it will probably be served upon the acting superintendent of the asylum at once. According to the usual procedure in such cases, Thaw will sign the application for a writ of habeas corpus, which will then be submitted to a justice of the supreme court, probably Justice Morschauer. Then Thaw will appear before a justice of the supreme court for a hearing to determine whether he should be released from the asylum as sane. YOUNG ROOSEVELT IN BALLOON.

Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily tested. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Lined Lead. The liquid part should always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made. Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow the flame against it and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with patience the White Lead can be completely reduced to one globule of metallic lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other so-called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it is clear that some adulturer is present. If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Woodbridge, New York City, are sealing on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be tested. With it will be sent a handsomely printed booklet having as its frontpiece the "Dutch Boy Painter," reproduced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. The Post's Error. "Of course," said the poet's friend, "he has his faults, but he's a true poet.

A Box on Clergymen Bishop Potter, at an eclectic historical dinner in New York, read a Cooperstown schoolboy's essay on "Clerymmen."

The bishops tell the rectors to work and the curats have to do it. a curate is a thin married man, but when he is a rector he gets fuller and can preach longer sermons and becomes a good man." The Thunder Cloud. COFFEE EYES. It Acts Slowly But Frequently Produces Blindness. The curious effect of slow daily poloning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in numbers of cases where the eyes are affected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady in Oswego, Mont., experienced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increasing weakness and shooting pains with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. She says: "This gradual failure of sight alarmed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that coffee poisoning sometimes took that form, and while I didn't believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I concluded to quit it and see. "I took up Postum Food Coffee in spite of the jokes of Husband whose experience with one cup at a neighbor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I made Postum strictly according to directions, boiling it a little longer, because of our high altitude. The result was charming. I have now used Postum coffee for about 3 months and my experience, never palming me or showing any illness. I know to a certainty that the burden of the trouble was coffee and the cure was in quitting was coffee and the cure is in nervous system on Postum, for that was absolutely the only change I made in diet and I took no medicine. "My nursing baby has been kept in a perfectly healthy state since I have used Postum.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly one of the prominent members of the German-American society, tells a story about a German friend of his who was taken ill. For many days the German was close to death, but after a time he showed improvement in condition. The doctor told the German's wife that her husband might have any problems. The German expressed a desire for Lmburger cheese, and the wife, being a generous woman and pleased at the improvement, and in order that her husband might have a nibble at any time he had a taste for it, put some cheese in every room in the house. It took him a while to aroma the next morning the doctor called at the house, and as soon as he opened the door he asked: "When did he die?"-Hartford Post. Losing a Tenant.

The funeral arrangements were completed Wednesday evening.

For nearly 40 years he sat for the same seat—the Stirling burghs—and his record of office goes back to 1871, when he was financial secretary to the war office, which post he held a second time from 1880 to 1882. Sir Henry became premier in 1905, and the election of that year gave him the majority ever given a British premier.

Threat of Sending Squadron Brings Turkey to Time. London.—Orders were issued Monday afternoon countermanding the sending of an Italian squadron to Turkish waters for the purpose of coercing the sultan into granting Italy certain postal privileges in Turkish territory.

Harlan told Benson it would be necessary to see Valk, who was in charge of the forestry division. Harlan said he would be required and Valk saw Benson. Harlan agreed with Benson to push the land selections through for 15 cents an acre. Harlan said he received a letter containing $10. He thought he gave Valk part of it.

ILLINOIS FOR BRYAN JOHNSON DEMOCRATS ABSOLUTELY MAKE NO IMPRESSION. NEBRASKAN SCORES SUCCESS Roger C. Sullivan Impassively Listens to Thunderous Cheers for His Former Bitter Enemy. Springfield, Ill., April 24—The Illinois delegation to the Denver national convention is instructed "to use all honorable means for the nomination of Bryan," and also to act as a host on all questions. The following list of delegates and alternates at large to the national convention was read and adopted: Delegates—Roger C. Sullivan, Samuel Alschler, Fred J. Kern, Harry M. Pindell, Carroll C. Boggs, Edward F. Duncan, Andrew J. Hunter, Reddick M. Ridgeley. Alternates—Henry Phillips, R. H. Lemon, W. E. Dever, Albert Watson, Walter I. Manny, Isaac B. Craig Joseph S. Martin, Paul A. Dratz. For presidential electors at large—Richard Knisla of Sangamon county, and Caleb Johnson of Whiteside, the democratic state convention organized yesterday with the delegates enthusiastic for Bryan and bound to give instructions for him backed by as strong an indorsement as they could frame. The Johnson men appeared on the scene three hours later, and was called to order and scattered much literature around but they made no progress in heading off the Bryan enthusiasm. Ten men from Chicago headed by Maxwell Edger of that city brought the Johnson boom to the convention early in the morning. They at once opened their campaign and conducted it throughout the morning in a refined, considerate sort of a way. No headquarters were opened, but the ten men distributed a vast amount of Johnson literature and set forth the mission of the convention at their command. They made no impression, however, on the mass of the delegates, who are solid for Bryan, and no change was made in the programme for the convention. The platform congratulates the party both state and national, on prospects of victory; denounces the republican state administration as a "compound of defense, favoritism to special interests and individuals, indifference to the public good" and denounces the defenseless wards of the people housed in our state institutions". It also denounced tax dodging. On the liquor question it says: "We believe that orderly customs and habits long pursued should not be disturbed by intolerance, and we believe that the individual degree of democracy and free government, which gives to the individual the largest measure of personal liberty so long as he does not intrigue on the personal rights of others, are opposed to all summary laws." The platform then declares against "imperialism"; says the republican party has failed to "check exploitation of the masses for the benefit of the few"; points with pride to the origin of the lakes to gulf ship canal proposition by democratic members of the state legislature, and argues that the government authorizing issuance of bonds to further that project; favors a law that will protect bank depositors; for employers' liability law; for law by egresses prohibiting transportation of goods from one state to another. The Bryan plank is: "Recognizing the broad statesmanship, matchless elocuences and untiring efforts of our great leader, the Hon. William J. Bryan, in the cause of humanity, we, the democrats of America, are proud to pride in his distinguished leadership instruct the delegates to the national convention of our party at Denver from this state to support his candidacy for the nomination for the presidency, and to use all his honorable means in the fight. We further in connection with the Illinois delegation to the Denver convention to act as a unit on all propositions." LUMBER COMBINE IS HIT Nebraska Supreme Court Enjoins State Association. Lincoln, Neb., Anril 24—The Nebraska State Lumber Dealers' association was perpetually enjoined by the supreme court and restrained from action calculated to eliminate materials/materials. Secretary Birds Critchfield of the association is also forbidden to carry on any of the business of the organization. The association was accused of attacking the organization. It was also alleged that the organization in conjunction with other state associations conspired to punish wholesale lumber dealers who sold to unauthorized persons. The state alleged that shipments to dealers or "regurgitant" dealers were traced and the shippers penalized. This practice was forbidden by the supreme court. Senator Norris Brown, while he was attorney general, started the suit. Attorney General Robert his successor, prosecuted the case. The judge declared that any attempt between dealers to regulate prices was illegal. All systems of reporting sales and shipments were improper. A large number of fights were made defendants in the suits. Bureaus in other states co-operated it was charged. The state alleged that the Nebraska association communicated with associations in Missouri, Oregon, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and a number of other states. Szechenys Arc Ducked Vienna, April 24—Count Szecheney and the countess, formerly Gladys Vanderbilt, had a disagreeable adventure on Easter Sunday, which fortunately had no serious results. They were bating on the river LaBorzea on the morning of Easter, the couple were thrown into the water and were forced to swim a short distance to reach shore. A friend residing near the scene of the accident supplied them with dry clothing. Neither suffered any ill effects. THE CALL OF THE SOIL. DAYG PF FINANCIAL STRESS MAKE FARM LANDO LOOK RICH. A staff contributor of a southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter of the city. He says: "It is a well known fact that the history of this Government shows that those men who have had forsaken it have left their impress upon its people and its institutions as statesmen, soldiers, financiers—have as a rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and it is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially done come with re-creation of the farm, withorer and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits and act like stumped cattle; when with reason or without reason there arises before him the specter of ruin, grimming in his face and with arms in threaten-ng gesticulation The plittable state into which some men were brought by the recent financial flurry, which happily is now passed, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined and a very few became insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man often tires of the fire of the affair. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL. There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or safer. Take, for instance, the lands in Western Canada that can be bought at from $10 to $15 per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain investment. During the past two months large investments in these lands have been made, some intending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own. Others "o resell to farm owners of other lands." Canada has different points throughout the United States have in their possession particulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres each accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches, &c. These are valuable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any desirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates, &c. HE COULD BE TRUSTED.

"A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and old us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our body with the Resolvent of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well.

Address: THE LIVING ROOM. It Should at All Times Be a "Livable" Room. What to do with the living room is a problem that confronts every housekeeper. The living room should be in fact as well as in name a living room, and it is in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours we have for leisure, the time we have for play, the place where we entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmonious in color, suitable in texture, and durable. The rich, soft, solid colored walls are the ideal walls for the living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furniture out in better relief, are less discordant with rugs and carpeting, and indicate a higher degree of taste and taste than do the colored monstrosities with paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hardwood floor? Yet, that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor beautiful, but they were never made to climb up interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wall paper are also threeseam and equally disgraceful and repellant. The alabastined wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid colored wall. Fortunately it is the only way that does not involve the endless labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect 85% of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choosing a light degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellow reflects it; brown modifies it, and so on. The color scheme of the room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpeting but it is also dependent upon the light of the room. Shorten the Agony.

Ninety wholesale dealers of the second Internal Revenue District of New York City have just sent a check for nine hundred dollars to the Tuskegee Institute as a volunteer contribution to the school and in honor of Hon. Charles W. Anderson Collector of the Second Internal Revenue District. These wholesale dealers have been led to show this token of respect to Collector Anderson because of the fact that he accepted checks from the dealers during the entire financial disturbance and was perhaps the only Internal Revenue Collector in the whole country who did so. The check for nine hundred dollars was accompanied by a strong letter of endorsement of the business qualities of Collector Anderson and in entire approbation of his rare tact in handling the delicate situation which developed during the financial disturbance of October and November.

"What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of catables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use a "Hm" muttered to the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier.

Ebeneser Crossman and his wife Lucinda, were at outs. "There's no doin' a thing to please ye! Yer as cross as two sticks," complained Aunt Cinda. "Ye don't try! Jest look at this toast—burned to smut on one side, and ander hain't been next or near the fire," he grumbled. "I've hed to cook for ye for nigh on to 50 year, an' ye haint go'n to in-tect me in cookin' at this late day," replied she. He arrears from the table, leaving his breakfast untasted, and throwing his chair viciously across the room left the house. way?" Presently she added: "Twould be no use; I couldn't eat a whole chicken, an—twouldn't taste good, no how!" She was out cutting kindling for the night, and a stick flew as she struck it, and gave her a blow in the face "Oh, fly, if it suits ye better," she grumbled. "I uster think I didn't need any man's help, but now." "Here, here! Give me that ax afore ye yourself! I never did see a woman that could chop wood!" said old Joiah White. "Wall, I don't want to larn!" saled Cinda, handing him the ax. "There, he remarked, that'll last Aunt Cluda looked after him with troubled eyes. "I don't know what's got into Eben lately—ever since M'Indy came back," she said with a smile. "When Uncle Eben came in to dinner he had in no wise regained his good humor. "Fat pork and cabbage! I'm just sick of that kind of fodder! If things ain't better I'll go to M'Inda's to live." "I wasn't you would; mebbe then one would hew 'a minute's peace; now it'nothin' but jaw, jaw, jaw, from its'norm to' night, angrily retorted his wife. "Shoo!

"We better trot, right back, Eben Crossman; I raised them chickens to buy me a new dress; I aln't had nothin' better'n calco in ten year, an' I won't hew 'em' et, so there!" From the time of her marriage Aunt Cinda had been obliged to practice the most rigid-economy, as their only capital had been health, hope and wealth, be by little they paid for or farm, in way they had accumulated a competency, but the habit of nonsistent econ- "Fat Pork and Cabbage, I'm Just Sick of That Kind of Fodder." emy had merged into miserly parsimony, especially was this the case with Ebenezer. Aunt 'Cinda' very soul hankered for a new carpet, and the old cord bedsteads with round posts nagged her desire persistently. Uncle Eben grew wrathful at the mere mention of her wishes. "Them bedsteads hev" been good enough fur 50 years, an' they're good enough now; you're just bein' et now with nw fangled notions. If you want there's rags enough in the garret fur half a dozen. "I don't want no rag carpet! M'linda don't hev' that kind of floor kiverlin, an' an' yall aust quotin' her in' it" retorted Aunt 'Cinda. "I ain't got nothin' to do with her housekeepin'! snappily. "Oh, I thought mebee had, ye mention it so frequent," answered Aunt 'Cinda sarcastically. "I'll be conserved if it isn't gettin' so I can't haw' a single thing as I want it! And 'Cinda all the time naggin' finger-bread furnitur' an sich less truck, ill I'm slick of it', grubbled Uncle Eben to M'linda, of late he went to her with all his grievances. "I would not stand it if I were you. You come right along and live with us, and it shouldn't cost you a cent. You know you'll be perfectly welcome," said she. `Two weeks later Uncle Eben moved his belongings to Melinda's. He had installed her in the house opposite the home place—which Aunt Cinda was.` `I wasn't the house was a mile of, muttered Aunt Cinda, her old voice thick with tears.` `"Cinda shen't hew' it to say that I took the best end of the bargain." remarked Uncle Eben in a tremulous tone. For the first month there was no friction, but after he made a deed, Melinda the house and ten acre lot for his *keep* someway things were not so smoothly. For one thing Uncle Eben was not used to children, and Melinda's four boys were entirely beyond restraint, and delighted in teasing and annoying the old man. Then if he pulled off his boots and put his feet on an opposite chair, as he had been accustomed to at home, Melinda would sarcastically remark: "It's so hard to have a booth, have a had a bit of good furniture!"" And if he filled his old cob pipe for a comforting smoke: "Oh, goodness! That fithy tobacco it enough to turn one's stomach!" So he would put out the fire with his stubby finger and silently leave the room. There appeared to be no change in Aunt *Cindra*'s mode of living, but—when she sat down to breakfast and glanced across at the vacant place, she set her cup of coffee down untasted. "Pears like I hain't no appetite lately. Shoo! shoo! she now," to the chickens. "I've a good mind to cook one of ye. What does an old woman want of anything' better a calyx, any- way?" Presently she she added: "Twouldn't be no use; I couldn't eat a whole chicken, an—twouldn't taste good, no how!" She was out cutting kindling for the night, and a stick flew as she struck it, and gave her a blow in the face, "Oh飞, if it suits ye better," she grumbled with a thick beld needn't and used it but now—"Here, here! Give me that ax afore ye kill yourself; I never did see a woman that could chop wood!" said old Josiah White. "Wall, I don't want to larn," said Cinda, handing him the ax. "There," he remarked, "that'll last ye night on to a week. I'll cut some more for ye by the time that gone; it's a shame there's no one to look arter ye." Uncle Eben, watching behind his window blind, muttered wrathfully: "I...at his ornament bide!" The following week 'Clinda was up in the garret sorting rags for a new carpet. "Might as well come to it; it's all'll ever git now," she muttered disconcertedly, as she picked up an old coat. "Land sakes! If 'tin't Eben's wedin' coat! Mor' 50 year," she mused. "He did look nice, an how lovin' he was! All the rest of our lives! We did it, Oh, men. Our sister she sighed. Funday came, and Eben saw Josiah White walk up the little path to where 'Clinda sat shelling peas. After a few words he sat down beside her and commenced helping her. Uncle Eben, half buried in a hay stack across the road, watched him angrily. He had taken to strange habits of late, hiding around to see what Aunt 'Clinda was doing, and listening eagerly to every remark concerning her. Now, what's that old wretch洞 there again? HeIGHT spruced up, but keep his justelf from Lucinda or I'll klide the hide on him. I did it when we was boys, an 'I am agr'in' he muttered. That night the children were unusually annoying, and when Uncle Eben made a faint protest Melinda flew into a passion. "I don't suppose you ever was a boy! You are so canankerant that it's no wonder 'Cinda couldn't live with you!" she threw at him as a parting taunt. "I guess you're about as to 'Cinda,' answered the old man tottering from the room. Her husband laughed: "Well, you put your foot in it that time," said he. "I don't care; I'm sick of him, and there's no more to be got out of the stingy old wretch." Uncle Eben had turned back for his handkerchief and overheard this. "She's right about that, too; she won't get any more out of the day about noon Aunt 'Cinda was feeding her chickens a van drove up to the house, 'Where'll you have these things unloaded mam?' "Them don't belong here," eyeing the shining brass bedsteadts and the plump-looking mattresses longingly, and a glimpse of a roll of bright-braed carpeting filled her eyes with tears. She shook her head. "No, no! There is some mistake!" "No, ma'am; I was told to leave them with Uncle Eben's wife. That's you, I reckon?" Uncle Eben laid his hand on 'Cinda's shoulder. "Land-o'massy, where'd you come from, Eben?" "Up the barn lot way. I guess I aln't fit to come in the front door." He tried bravely to make a joke of it, but his voice was tremulous with emotion. "Cinda lald her withered hand on his arm, 'it was awful lonesome without you, Eben. We jest mustn't be so techy. We know each other's ways an we don't need no third person to tell us, do we?" "No, no! I mustn't be so techy. I give M'lindy the house an 'ten-acre lot to find out some things, but the knowledge is dirt cheap at that. Now let us see how it looks," said he. "Goodness! I never thought I'd have things so nice," answered Aunt 'Linda gratefully. Uncle Eben put his arm around her. "Together we 'arned the money, an 'together we'll he' the good of it. We have it for others to squander, 'Linda." Little Noise in Berlin. Berlin is said to be the most quiet city in Europe. Railway engines are not allowed to blow their whistles within the city limits. There is no loud bawling of hucksters, and a man whose wagon gearing is loose and rattling is subject to a fine. The courts have a large discretion as to fines for noise-making. Strangest of all, plano-playing is regulated in Berlin. Before a certain hour in the day and after a certain hour in the night the piano must be silent in that musical city. Even during the playing hours a fine is imposed for mere pounding on the plano. Old Boots Made Valuable. The Gaulois of Paris has been entertaining its readers with a patent leather boot story. It seems that every six months each sewer man of Paris receives a pair of heavy boots. At the end of the period these articles are worthless as far as the original purpose is concerned, but they have actually increased in value.

Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark. In speculation with your life it might be worth anything which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to who are poor. You will need to work hard, would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. Forgetting an Injury Church—I like to see a man who can forget an injury.

Citron Tree and the Bible. Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event, it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance, in the Proverbs, "A word flty spoken is like apples, gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay me with flags, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love."

When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the heens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good—he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication, that other similarly ailable may also use it and obtain relief. Behind every one of these letters is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of someone else. This re:e. edy is for sale by all druggists. A Healing Salve for Burns, Chapped Hands and Sore Nipples.
