Walton, a successful business man has been nominated on the Republican County ticket for the office of Constable of Helena township. While this is no great big office it is a concession and a sign that protends much good for the future recognition of a loyal, a patriotic citizen and we feel that he will compare favorably along side of the other candidates and that he will receive a hearty support from all classes if for no other reason than that the race is duly entitled to some recognition along political lines.. It is the duty of our people to use all honorable emans toward his election. And It is a fast fast world. In a recent issue under the caption His Sins Have Found Him Out, some of our friends seem to think that we were assailing the church, they expressed no sympathy for the man but thought that if he did the church was blameless in the premises. No we disclaim any intention of in anyway reflecting on the church. No one who is on the outside has more respect and lends more support according to their means than ourselves and we disclaim any intention to reflect in any way on the church. Our sole object was to show up to the public a man who was a disgrace to the church and was using the same as a mask to hide behind with his permicious deviltry who should be shown up and denounced from the house top as a menance to the morals and good of the community. With Walton as constable and the old realiable Cap. Adamson to show him the ropes Helena Township will have an excellent brace of peace officers Congressman Chas. N. Pray will make a progressive campaign and be triumphantly re-elected. Hew to the line in the pending campaign let the chips fall wheer they may. The republicans are getting wise to the fact that the colored vote in this county is the balance of power and have at last accorded them recognition on their county ticket. There are yet some of the weak kneed candidates to be relegated to the rear. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET For Congress CHARLES N. PRAY. For Clerk Supreme Court .. JOHN T. ATHEY For Railroad Commissioner E. A. MORELY POLITICAL Capt. Adamson the genial and accommodating official of Judge O'Donnell's court had a walk away for a renomination and will have the same in the general election. Cap. is one of the best officials that ever held office in this county and it is only a question of time until he will be promoted to a higher office. Everybody is for Cap. and Cap. is for everybody, with such men as him holding public office who does his full duty to the county and the people alike at all times there is no question or hesitation in giving to them a hearty support from all classes.

PERSEVERANCE Splendid Paper Read by Mrs. Henrietta House at 1st anniversary of second Baptist Church. Perseverance means, in short, to "Follow up." Hence, Patience and Perseverance overcome the greatest difficulties. The stone is hard the drop is small, but a hole is made by a constant fall. Again: Perseverance signifies to continue in a given cause, in spite of discouragements in order to obtain our ned. Therefore always watch and pray and not faint, on the way, recorded in Isaiah 30th Chap. 21st verse; namely: Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when we turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left. So let us continue making improvements as we go, notwithstanding all the hard trials that may await us. In spite of disappointments, defiance of our enemies lets go. Fear neither the difficulties of foreign languages nor the difference of manners, nor the powers of secular government. Consult not the course of rivers nor the direction of mountain ranges. Go straight on. Go as the thunder of him who sent us. As the creative word went, which carried life into chaos, as the eagles go, and the angels. Persevere as the school-boys. The sleet is falling, the winter is cold, but we are tough and bold. Another course we are to persist is prescribed in the 1st Cor. 9th Chap. 24 verse, namely: Know ye not that the which run in a race, run all but one receiveth the prize. So sun that ye may obtain. It means progress and success. Why should we persist? Because the work is the Lords and we must go on. And too, the victory is not gained by the swift nor the strong, but by those htat persist to the end. Hence, come weal, come woe, we'll gather and go live and die for Jesus. To speak on: We must persist because our God says to us as he did to Moses, why cry ye after me, Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward. We must persevere because there is no discourage nor vacation in this war. The Christian soldier ought to fight like a lion. In fact he must be a lion in the fight. Said a fox to a wild-hog: Why do you whet your tusks now? there is no sign of the coming of the hunters or the hounds. Why Dear friend answered the wild-hog it would never do for me to be sharpening my weapons when I ought to using them. Learn to be in time. The road to our future welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well doing toward the mark for the prize. David Livingston the traveller missionary was a wearer. Sturgeon the electrician and Bloomfield the poet were shoemakers Andrew Johnson, president of the United States was a tailor. At the loom, at the plow, on the bench, we must persevere in oud endeavors to accomplish our good and begun work. That the church might persevere successfully, she must prove all things, and hold to them which are good. COLORED AMERICANS GAIN 14,397 ON U. S. PAYROLL Republicans Poine to Army of Negroes They Have Given Places—High Offices for Black Men. ..Claim Credit for Emancipation and ..Denounce Democrats as Unfriendly to the Colored Race. (From the Baltimore Sun) A direct appeal for the Negro vote in the coming Congressional election is made in the Republican textbook, mainly on the gurund that the party in power has shown "justice" to the Negro by appointing him to Federal offices. This discloses for the first time the extent to which Negroes have been given Government preferment. There are nearly 15,000 Negroes employed by the Government. They total salaries aggregating $8,255,761. Eleven are officials of the Diplomatic and Consular Service; 11 are officers in the United States Army; nearly 3,000 are employed in the Postal Service. The number employed in departments in Washington is 5,768,703 of whom are in the Treasury, 571 in the Government Printing Office and 421 in the Department of the Interior. Colored Employees of Government.

"The Republican party determined that the Confederacy should be destroyed; that the Union should be preserved; and true to its principles and in keeping with his own declarations, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondmen. Following the freedmen of the slaves came their enlistment in the army and navy, and by this act the names of 200,000 Afro-Americans were added to the honor roll. The leaders of the Republican party, feeling that their work was far from completed, framed and passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and the States ratified their action, thus making slavery impossible and confirming the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. "Clothed by the Republican party with the right to vote, is it surprising that these newly made citizens voted with the party which had taken them from their former position as mere chattles and made them citizens of the republic campaign book as fol the republic?" Education North and South special to the Chicago Defender, bearing date of June 3, sent from the City of Mexico, says: "By one of our leading journals here. President Diaz has refused to accept the life membership voted him by the International Sunday School convention. The president says in part: 'When a people like the Americans draw the color line on black people and I accept membership, with my republic full of black men who are manning our railroads, army and national industries? I would be unfit to make laws for any people. The black man has rights and privileges in Mexico that the world must respect, and I will not wash my hands by accepting a membership into that association which seeks to enslave my fellowman. 'I trust the American Negro will not weaken, but will fight for his rights until the judgment day when we shall meet Him face to face.' HORTICULTURE Most Ingenious Time Saving Contri- vances Prevents Damage to Apple as it Falls. One of the most ingenious of time saving contrivances is the fruit gather- er designed by a Kentucky man. It collects all the fruit that falls from a tree and holds it where it can be quickly picked up and placed in a basket, also saving the apples, pears, or whatever they may be from damage by failing. A circle of stakes is driven around the tree in a radius wide enough to include anything that falls from it. A circle of canvas, with a hole in the middle to receive the trunk of the tree, is fastened around the latter and also fastened to the stakes with the outer edge of the ring lower than the Fruit Gatherer. portion around the tree. Around the outer edge, too, is a wall to keep the contents from rolling off to the ground. QUINCE A PROFITABLE CROP Cultivation on Increase In United States Where It Has Been Grown for Many Years. (By J. E. MANDELL) In habit of growth the quince is a low dwarf tree which admits close planting in the orchard. Ten feet apart each way is sufficient distance for most varieties. Planting the trees at the above distance will give about 485 trees per acre. While the quince will grow on almost any kind of soil, a medium heavy clay loam, being easy of cultivation, is the ideal soil for it. In such a soil the quince readily responds to good cultivation, and if given good care it will continue to produce good crops of fruit for many years. In case the soil should be hard or deficient in plant food liberal application of manure will be very helpful in making the soil a better one and keeping the tree in a vigorous condition. The quince does not require a great deal of pruning. About all the care that will be necessary along this line will be to remove and cut out the surplus shoots and dead branches. An occasional shortening back of the longer branches may be necessary to keep the tree in its natural form. The best time for pruning probably is just before the beginning of the growing season. Any wounds made at that time usually heal promptly. The quince is propagated in many ways. The methods most in use are by budding, grafting, cutting and from seed. The method of propagating by cuttings is the easiest. The cuttings should be made from the fresh young growth of the previous season and be treated as any other cutting. The quince begins to bear early, usually in two years after planting. The size of trees and kind to plant depend to some extent upon the locality and the taste of the grower. Two year old trees seem to be preferred by most planters. The quince is so easily grown that the care required in raising it is more than amply repaid by the value of the fruit produced. When the quince is properly prepared for the table by the many methods recommended it is a very delicious fruit. The quince finds a ready market and sells at a good price, all depending on the quality. The price paid the past season ranged from two to three and a half cents per pound. The quince has been grown in various localities throughout the United States since the early days. Its cultivation is on the increase and in some sections we find it planted on a commercial scale. But owing to the fact that the quince, including all the varieties, is unfit for eating uncooked has kept it from taking much prominence among the commercial orchard fruits. The uses to which the quince may be put are many, but its chief value is as a preserving fruit. Where the quince is grown it is naturally more used. In France and some of the other European countries, large quantities of the quince are used yearly for making quince marmalade and wine. The marmalade industry, especially in France, is quite an ex-tensive one, and the finished product finds quite a ready sale. SIMPLE SUPPORT FOR PLANT Ohio Man Arranges Device for Training Flowers Straight and Holds Them in Place. An Ohio man has designed a useful little article in the plant support shown herewith. It is made of galvanized iron wire and will last as Simple Plant Support. long as the owner, so in the long run it is cheaper than sticks and much more satisfactory in every way. The upright standard of the support consists of wires running parallel to each other except at intervals, where they converge and engage each other. There are other circular pieces of wire with downwardly projecting prongs which can be fastened on the standard at any of the points where the sides converge, thus forming shoulders in which to hang the prongs. These rings, it will be seen, can be moved up and down the standard to accommodate the growing plant and placed where most needed. Many plants that are strong and healthy when young turn out badly because they are not properly trained, and with this support they can be given the proper direction. Aside from its other advantages, the device is much more attractive than the usual unsightly stick used for this purpose. GRAPES OF HIGHEST QUALITY May Be Secured by Placing Paper Bags Over Clusters, Preventing Fruit From Rotting. In many sections not all of the grapes were killed by the heavy freeze and storm in April, and not a few of those that were killed came out later with new shoots bearing some clusters of grapes. If you wish to procure grapes of the highest quality and free from rot, slip and fasten paper bags over the clusters. Grover's manila paper bags are ```markdown ``` Bagging Grapes. the kind to use. When the grapes are about half grown cover each bunch with a paper bag by slitting the top to fit the stem of the bunch and fastening the laps down with pins. Grapes covered with paper bags are not only of better quality, but they ripen earlier, and the bags are a protection against frost for late maturing sorts. The illustration shows how the operation is performed. HORTICULTURAL NOTES In selecting trees to plant for shade this spring don't forget the white elm. Roses do not require frequent watering, especially if the soil is kept well hood. The jay bird is very destructive to fruit and should be killed on sight, and his gaudy plumage exposed in the top of a tree, as a warning to others of his ilk. Many growers say that weeds are as valuable a fertilizer as clover and cowpea, if they are turned under every year. The grower who will sort his apples into two or more grades and pack well, will get more money for his fruit than the one who throws all kinds together in a barrel and places a layer of the best ones on top. Red raspberries do well in the chicken yard, give shade when most needed, and the fruit is mostly out of reach of the fowls. Some of the late blooming plants, such as asters and nasturtiums, may be lifted and potted before frost and kept alive and blooming indoors for several weeks. HER HASTY JUDGMENT By ANTOINETTE PATTERSON (Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) Isabel Stevens had been out of boarding school somewhat less than a year when she married Fred Carrington, a man some years older than herself, but whose youth had been crowded so full of care and anxiety that his courtship of Isabel had been, as she was never tired of having him tell her, the very first romance of his life. Fred, with all his appreciation of Isabel's intensity of nature, would have been greatly surprised had he fully known how much this meant to the girl. She felt perfectly sure of the future; such was her trust in her husband's loyalty and devotion, but that even the past held for her no rival, or no tender memory for Fred to look back upon, had for her a meaning that words could not adequately express. And now what was it that had happened to make Isabel's pretty, fair face look years and years older, and had marked it with the lines etched only by a breaking heart. It was summer, and they had been having a lovely month in the new house—Fred's poverty was now a thing of the past. They had built this house on the New England coast. Suddenly, affairs of urgent importance, connected with an estate of which he was executor, called Fred to Philadelphia for a few days. The city was just then in the grip of a hot wave, so in spite of her pleading, Fred simply would not hear of his young wife's accompanying him; and, as it was the first separation they had ever known in their married life of two years, it was regarded by Isabel as something only a little short of a tragedy. After Fred had gone she locked herself in her room, and, silly, childish thing that she was, cried for a whole hour. Afterward, but only because she had promised Fred, she went to the next house and spent the rest of the day with the charming friends who were her neighbors, also. The next morning isabel, more lonely than ever, realized the best thing R. M. TERRAS Cried for a Whole Hour. she could do would be to find some active employment. There was an old desk which had come down to Fred by inheritance from the colonial days and which had been shipped with all its contents straight from his bachelor quarters to this new house, since it was too big for their apartment in the city. Nothing would be more absorbing, Isabel concluded, since it was so intimately associated with Fred, than to give this desk a thorough cleaning out. Fred—he was different from most men in this respect, as in every other—would be so pleased when he should return to find everything in apple-ple order. She knew where the keys were, and the morning had passed very happily. The old desk had assumed a rejuvenated appearance—all but one drawer—when something happened that took the sunshine out of everything for Isabel. In this last drawer, stuffed away back, she had come across a photo graph of a ballet dancer! And, more agitating still, there was written across it, Fred's name and a silly sentimental message. Also there was a date, which Isabel realized with horror, coincided to within a few months of their wedding. And so this was the truth, and it had been but a fool's paradise in which she had been living these two years. She picked up the hateful picture and forced herself to look at it. There was no denying that the face with its wealth of fluffy blond hair was pretty. But she took positive comfort in the fact that the feet were decidedly big in spite of the tight, pointed slippers. And then the costume—what there was of it! How could any woman appear in such a dress, much less be photographed in it? And how dared she send it to Fred? But the bitterest thought of all was that Fred had not only received it, but had cherished it all this time. And had kept it in a place where she would be most unlikely ever to see it. Of course everything was perfectly clear now—the visit to Philadelphia was only an excuse to see that woman, and the heat but a filmis pretext to keep her from going, too. She thought of suicide; she pictured Fred coming home and finding her lying cold and still across the threshold of their room, the fatal picture clasped in her stiffening fingers, and the little heart-shaped pin he had given her on her last birthday lying broken in two halves by her side! But, on second thought, that would not do at all; for it would only make it possible for him to marry the dancer. And a divorce would have identically the same advantage. No; she must live out her life somehow, bearing to the silent grave this terrible knowledge. Scraps of doleful poetry, from Byron, of course, now began to float through Isabel's mind—lines she had not recalled since her morbid school girl days. How true, how absolutely true, were the words: My days are in the yellow leaf. The flowers and fruits of love are gone. My days are in the green and the grief Are these ladies? And the tears were now flowing co- ploulsy. Fare thee well!—thus disunited. Torn from every nearer tie. Seen'd in heart, and love, and blighted, we can die. More than, and while she was assuring herself that "thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on," there was a knock. But nobody must see her until she had time to compose herself, so she asked what was wanted without opening the door. The maid said a letter had just come, and this Isabel told her to slip under the door. It was one with a special delivery stamp, from the faithless Fred. In spite of her lacerated feelings, she tore open the envelope with a most unseemly haste and read: "My Darling Belle: I will write you a long letter tonight, but this is just a line to ask you to look through that old desk of mine and see if you cannot find a photograph of my old friend Bob Johnson. He was a member of the Mask and Wig club, and had that picture taken long ago. Bob has just become engaged and wants the photograph to play a joke with—jokes were always so dear to his heart. But I am forgetting to say the picture is of him in the character of a fairy dancer and has some crazy words written across it. You can't possibly miss it!" Isabel got no further for a full five minutes. And then one of the maids was heard to say to another down stairs: "Mrs. Carrington ain't missin the boss so much as we thought after all. Just listen to her—she's a-singin away like a burr!" OLD-TIME AUCTION SALE One Still On Which Has Lasted fofr Nearly a Quarter of a Century. An auction sale, which has already lasted nearly a quarter of a century, is still far from finished at Sotherby's in London. It is the sale of the most extensive collection of ancient manuscripts in the world—the Bibliotheca Phillips, the collector of which, who died 40 years ago, devoted a long life and a fortune of $500,000. The disposal of the vast library, which packed his country mansion, Thir壁aine house, Cheltenham, from basement to attic, began in 1886, and the sales will continue at least and other generation. Already 13 separate sales, totaling nearly 16,000 lots, have realized $225,000, and there have been several sales by private treaty as well. The French and German governments have bought in many national manuscripts, which Sir Thomas Phillips acquired while ransacking Europe for his unmatched collection. Anything written on vellum, whatever its nature, was purchased by this eccentric collector, who described himself as a "vello maniac," and gave any price that was asked for old manuscript. The account books of kings and queens, the early records of ancient monasteries, long-forgotten treaties between nations, and the autograph poems of fourteenth century bards were all eagerly bought by him. The Pacific Codfishers. The codfish is a sacred bird in this section of the world, and anything that has to do with his ultimate fishball destination is of interest at the Sunday breakfast table. We of New England are prone to forget that the fog hung banks off our Atlantic coast are not the only playground of Gloucester's claim to world fame, and even if the great African bank is too far away to count commercially, there are other habitats of the progeny of the State house symbol which must be taken into consideration. There is a codfishing fleet in the Pacific, and Boston men have recognized the fact by interesting San Francisco capital in forming a fishing trust to control the catch of the Bering sea grounds. The little fleets out of Frisco and Seattle have worked under a "gentleman's agreement" as to prices for some years, but bad weather and two poor seasons made cut rate prices popular, and war came to the drying sheds. The proposed combination of the five leading Pacific interests is the result—Springfield Republican. Cordial Greeting. "One of my acquaintances is much interested in the Chagrin Falls Hunt club, and is an onlooker at most of the functions of that organization," said Ward Jackson to the Cleveland Leader. "The other night he said to me, with some show of enthusiasm, that gradually he was getting acquainted with the club members. 'Why, Dan Hanna came right up and spoke to me today,' he said, exultantly. 'Is that so?' I replied. 'What did he say to you?' 'He said "Don't get too near that horse there or he'll kick your darned head off."' MODES of The MOMENT T IS difficult to interest any woman in fashions just now. She is watching for what is to come and caring little for what has passed. It is too hot, too humid, too fatiguing to bother one's head with anything so exacting as clothes. There is nothing new about cretonne coats. They were worn last year, but they have been brought out again in a popular way. Sometimes the cretonne is merely used as a more important trimming. It is applied to a homespun linen in any color desired. Bands of it are put at edges, including a four-inch hem at the bottom. 1 She knows that her head must be troubled with this problem in six more weeks, and she is saving up her vitality for that time. She has got her clothes for summer, and she has no idea of getting her clothes for winter. She wants to enjoy the open air, the new book, leed meals on the avningshaded veranda. As far as it is possible she wants to be let alone. She is quite willing to listen to any overture to pleasure, but she is actively opposed to any effort toward work, writes Anne Rittenhouse, in the New York Times. In a way she is a molluse, in that she holds on with all her strength to doing nothing. She may want to wear the clothes she has, but she may not be able to do it. It is rare indeed when a woman is not compelled through inclination or some forces of circumstances to rearrange her wardrobe in every season, no matter how well it is planned. She may regard the heated and languorous midsummer as the most irritating time to think about anything so simple as a blouse or so terrifying as a hat and a gown, but ten to one she must do it. This is true of each of the four seasons. To save herself trouble she may use all her wits toward planning and perfecting a wardrobe that will leave her free for the rest of the season, but her best laid plans will go awry. Some Good New Ideas. She will learn there are midsummer fashions as soon as she begins to experiment with them. She will be surprised to learn how many clever things are introduced in a dull season to keep up interest, and how really satisfactory these are when tried out. Some of them are entirely new; others were invented much earlier in the season, but in the rush of many new things, they were allowed to pass by without notice. The designers themselves take great pleasure in introducing scraps of new things, in applying new methods, in playing with new ideas, when the bulk of the work is over and the frenzied demand for clothes has somewhat ceased. One designer, noted for charming things, says that she gets all her inspirations after June. She explains this by the fearful rush of the spring, when every woman wants all her gowns at the same time, and no leasure is allowed for suggestions or inspiration. As long as women must look at clothes and make them or buy them it is wise to know some of the interesting things that are being done in mid-summer gowns. Embroidering white embroidery with colors is a truly pleasant touch that is brought into favor and gains new followers each day. The eyelet embroidery is bought in the real or imitation varieties, and then its openings are overcast with vivid tones in mercerized wash floss. The pale blues and pinks which, in other days, every woman chose, have given way to intense colors, such as red, green, purple, black, and yellow. These are mixed in with several other tones, and sometimes three or four colors are used in strong contrast to each other. Can Be Done at Home. This work can be done at home, although it become tedious if attempted in large quantities. The best part of it is that a small piece of it goes far. The method of the day is to use very little trimming, but make that little most brilliant and important. A patch of scarlet and yellow embroidery on a dead white gown is effective and artistic. A mass of this embroidery is not. The woman who needs new white blouses for her coat suits or informal wear with white linen skirts, is getting eyelet embroidery and touching it off with a splash of oriental coloring to give it character. These blouses fasten down the front with crochet buttons, are finished with a frill of handkerchief linen or silk mull edged with plcot lace, and then the embroidery, with the eyelets as a foundation, is carried out in some sweeping Egyptian design across the shoulders, at the bust, or on the edges of sleeves. This is more effective on a peasant blouse cut without shoulder sleeves and armholes. The entirely square blouse is coming more into use every day. The patterns for it are extremely simple. They require the material to be folded over to the required depth, a circle cut for the neck and straight underarm seams cut in one with straight undersleeve seams. As you easily see, there is little sewing to do. The underarm seams are stitched up, as are the seams under the sleeves. The front is opened, hemmed back and buttoned, and the trimming is what one desires. There is nothing new about cretonne coats. They were worn last year, but they have been brought out again in a popular way. Sometimes the cretonne is merely used as a most important trimming. It is applied to a homespun linen in any color desired. Bands of it are put at all edges, including a four-inch hem at the bottom. There is a wide Incroyable collar, buttons covered with cretonne, and wide cuffs that flare back over the elbow on a short sleeve. These coats reach to half way between the knees and hips, and many of them are cut away in front. They are put over thin white frocks, and some women wear them with foulard, marquisette, and velling. They are rather prettier over white than anything else. It may not be an ultra-nice suggestion, but if a frock is a little worn or not altogether fresh the coat, like charity, covers much. It gives distinction to what would be commonplace. The smart ones are all cretonne and the colors chosen are soft and cool looking rather than vivid and glaring. There is an attempt on the part of the ultra-smart designers to substitute these coats by tapestry ones, that give the same effect, but which are quite warm. Virtue in Tapestry Coats. They can only be worn on the coast or in the mountains. The cretonne is far the better choice for our climate unless one is going to spend vacation days in a cool climate, where there are formal social affairs. If the tapestry coat, however, remains in fashion until next autumn it will make rather a pleasing garment for afternoon affairs. It will be made 1 Morning Gown of Dotted Foulard. in an ornate style, with frills of good lace at neck and elbows, and will be fastened with gemmed buttons set in rims of metal. This is the theory; it may not materialize. Women may not like this coat, and it will not last. It has its advantages, and I see no reason why it should not have a fair trial when the cold weather comes in. The Long-Line Effect. Which same might be entitled "the long-line effect and how to get it." For all of us must look like sylphs nowadays, and if Nature has been unkind, she must be gently assisted to kindness. Nothing succeeds for this purpose, with the woman whose clothes are of her own devising, like the vertical band running down the front of the one-piece frock, almost from chin to toes. The gown may open in this manner, so that there is a row of fabric-covered or pearl buttons or of braid frogs all down the front, caught at the waist by a loose girdle. Many of the new skirts also open in the front, seeming nothing but wide oblongs of dress goods wrapped about the form femini- Or that long line may be a simulated opening, whereas the dress fastens quite conventionally in back. Then there is a frill effect of lawn or linen, deeply scalloped and perhaps edged with embroidery or itself embroidered. Indeed, a fold and a row of buttons in the exact vertical middle of a gown will give the desired effect with a minimum of trouble. with a imbibition. Then there is the tunic effect. A tucked underskirt and a tunic slashed down from the frilled Dutch collar to below the knees will make one look delightfully long and slim. Moreover, simple defining embroidery will do a great deal; and there is always the sash, appropriately draped and fastened at shoulder and knee. And the applied strip of embroidery over net, or of braiding, or dress goods figured in a contrasting color to the plain fabric, always succeeds in its effects, especially when the whole skirt is vertically plaited in wide folds and the applied band reaches entirely to the low-cut neck. The important thing to remember is not to undo the effect, laboriously gained, of the straight front line by wide frills or tucks elsewhere in the gown. Let everything be subdued to this one feature, so that the idea of length is accentuated. length is abbreviated and so, all hall to the long-line of feet.

Address G.C. Mantel, Spokane, Wn Engineer O'Rourke's Plan Submitted to Army Board. Washington.—John F. O'Rourke, the engineer who bridged the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and drove the Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel under the North river a few days ago laid before Acting Secretary of War Oliver his plan for raising the Maine from the mud of Havana harbor. Secretary Oliver called Brigadier General William H. Bixby, chief engineer, into conference and Mr. O'Rourke told the two officers the details of his plan. It was decided to refer the O'Rourke plan to an army board of engineers, which will be appointed shortly, and which will consider at the same time other propositions for the same purpose which have been made to the war department. Briefly, the newest plan is based upon a system of pneumatic cabbons M. B. ROBERT S. OLIVER. Assistant Secretary of War. such as have made possible the building of extremely deep foundations under water and which contributed largely to the success of the building of tunnels under the Hudson. No divers are used, and the pontoon system is put completely aside. The method proposed is to swing the Maine in a cradle of powerful cables and lift her completely out of the water, where a complete inspection of her hull will be possible. While the ship is suspended above water, Mr. O'Rourke declares, she can be repaired as readily as if she were in dry dock, and after being relaunched from the cable cradle, can leave Havana harbor under her own steam. This is said to be the first plan yet proposed which would present the ship to a naval board in precisely the same condition as she sunk on the night of February 15, 1898. To raise her with pontoons, construction experts say, would mean to work upon her hull under water and to float her with compressed air would disturb conditions between decks. First a wharf of piles would be built on either side of the submerged wreck. Then between the wharves and the hull 12 pneumatic calssons would be hunk—six on each side. Practical tunnel building operations would be employed thereafter and a hundred little tunnels would be driven through the mud under the Maine's keel between the opposite calssons. Through each tunnel a powerful steel cable would be run and each end would be run up the outside of the calsson to the wharf above. So there would be a steel cable under the hull every four feet and the aggregate of all would be calculated to be capable of raising four times the weight of the wreck, which is about 7,000 tons. Each cable end would they be attached to a system of steel screw rods and the screw jack principle would be employed. In that the war department would be asked for a thousand men to operate the hand screws and by every man turning a lever at a given signal it is planned to pull the hulk up in the cradle of cables in practically the same way as the pyramids of Egypt are supposed to have been built by man power. Once swung above the water line, the gap between the wharves would be bridged and the engineers would work under and around the hull. When repaired she would be let down into the water by a reversal of the process by which she was raised. The war department has awarded contracts calling for the expenditure of about $1,000,000 at Fort Sill, Okla. This will provide quarters for a regiment. But the government does not intend to stop there. Immediate plans include the enlargement of the post to the brigade rank. Blue prints in the office of the quartermaster general, which have been approved by the department, look ultimately to the establishment at Sill of a division post and the expenditure of at least $20,000,000. The old post, now occupied by three batteries of the First Field artillery, probably will be retained as a school of musketry, which under orders issued last year, is to be transferred from the Presidio of California to Fort Sill. Twelve of the buildings at Fort Still are complete. At least 40 are under active construction. Work is getting well under way on a number of other contracts. Two shifts of men are working day and night on the artesian well, and are something more than 150 feet in depth. It is expected the drill will be kept going day and night for an entire year and the depth of the well will be about 2,000 feet. Bridges are being constructed. A large sewer and drainage system is being prepared and the grounds graded. The weekly pay roll for the workmen on the building alone averages about $5,000. In a few weeks it is expected this will reach $10,000 as new contractors will appear with their crews. Curtiss' Aeroplane Excites Comments. Washington.—The experts in both the army and the navy are watching with keen interest the development of the heavier-than-air craft. While the officials are not willing to say much publicly about the possibilities of the use of airships in time of war, they are saying privately that the probability is that when the next great war comes the airship will play a more effective part than battleships, land batterles, or great masses of troops. The prediction is freely made by army and navy officials in private that not a dollar will ever be spent in fortifying for the protection of the Panama canal. They have arrived at this conclusion because they think they foresee that within a few years the airship will be brought to a stage of perfection that will enable it quickly to destroy any fortifications that might be erected along the route of the canal. Congress at the recent session declined to appropriate money for the fortification of the canal. No public reason for this failure to make an appropriation was ever announced, but is now pretty well understood that the experts in both the war and navy departments suggested that it would be well to defer action until the government understands better what to expect of the airship. Officials in the army and navy departments are greatly impressed with the performances of Glenn Curtiss with the aeroplane at Atlantic City recently. Those performances were not under the auspices of either the war department or the navy department, but agents of each of the fighting arms were present, and were deeply impressed with what Curtiss was able to do. Some of the experts from the department who saw the Curtiss per Glenn Curtiss. formances came back firmly convinced that if war should come tomorrow the aeroplane would be able to do destructive work. In spite of the possibilities presented by the rapid development of air craft, the United States government is really doing nothing toward taking advantage of the situation. Two years ago an appropriation of $25,000 was made for the purchase of an aeroplane that would perform certain specifications—that is, that it would do certain things. It will be recalled that the Wright brothers complied with the conditions a year ago and the government took over the aeroplane. The understanding then was that the signal corps would devote a special attention to the navigation of the air. A tract of land was leased near this city, and men from the signal corps practised with the government aeroplane for several months. Last fall the craft for which the government had paid $25,000 was shipped to Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, Tex. Since that time regular practise with the aerosplane has not been carried on. There are men connected with the army and navy who believe the United States is almost criminally negligent in this mattte. ABOUT THE HOSIERY WHAT TO DO WHEN IT SHOWS SIGNS OF WEAR. When Holes Appear, Get Out the Darning Cotton and Proceed to Fill Them Up Without Delay. The length of time hosley will wear depends largely upon the care given it. Buy a good grade to start with, and when a small hole appears, darn it immediately. When a large one appears in the foot cut away all the thin part adjoining, leaving a round or oval shaped hole with a good firm edge. Take the darning cotton and steel crochet hook and proceed to fill in the hole, working all around the edge with single crochet stitch; then round and round, narrowing fast enough to keep the work flat and finishing firmly at the center. This is done more rapidly than darning, is very neat and as strong as before the hole appeared. And then the children's knees. If darned in short stitches when beginning to wear thin their life is lengthened, and it is a good idea to place a thin piece of an old stocking underneath and darn through both. When this will not do any longer cut off the stocking, straight across, in the strong part, just below the worn out knee. Then join the two parts again on the sewing machine with thread to match but turning the top portion of the stocking upside down, thus bringing the worn part away up out of sight; or perhaps it can be cut off entirely (it depends upon the length), and the top or unworn part down over the knee. The seam inside can be opened and felled down if desired. A little practise will determine just how much or how little to stretch the seam under the machine foot, so that when the stocking is pulled it will appear smooth and the seam hardly noticeable. At any rate, stockings treated in this way wear twice as long, and a pair which at first looks impossible to the weary mother (with half a dozen im-possible pairs in the weekly mending basket) can be very quickly converted into a pair which will never look un sightly except when off the foot. "Mothers'" do not wear through at the knee and can be repaired by cutting off the worn feet and attaching others, which can be bought at any large dry goods store, or can be made from the legs of another pair of hose. The legs can be utilized in another way: Cut each of two down a few inches—say, eight or nine—set in a diamond shaped piece to give width and finish with bands and side openings into a neat little pair of panties for the wee one. These tuck into the stockings and thus protect the delicate little knees from many bumps and scratches. If made of large (outside) hosiery no extra piece is set in, but seamed up straight. Fell all seams. When father's socks are beyond repair in the feet make some nice soft holders of the tops. Macaroni au Gratin. An easy way to prepare macaroni is to boll half a package in salted water until tender, drain it in a colander and stir it into a saucepan or chafing dish, in which two tablespoonfuls of butter and half a pound of grated cheese have been melted, the latter being added after the first has begun to bubble. Toss the macaroni with a fork until heated through, season with a dash of salt and pepper and serve. The result is delicious, especially when the macaroni comes piping hot from the chafing dish. To Cook Spinach. Spinach needs very little water for its cooking. To make a spinach salad wash and soak the spinach according to directions, place in a kettle without any water and cook 20 minutes. Drain at once and chop fine. Add a tablespoonful of melted butter, salt and pepper. Press into molds and chill. When ready to serve place on a platter, garnish with curled parsley and put slices of hard-boiled eggs in the center of it. Put a spoonful of mayonnaise dressing over each mold of spinach and molisten the egg with it. Bread Pudding. Butter slices of bread, arrange them in a buttered baking dish. Cover with four cupfuls of milk, four well-beaten eggs, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt, the grated rind and strained juice of one lemon. Bake one and a half hours in a moderate oven. Serve with hard sauce Log Cabin Toast. This is an exceedingly dainty way of serving toast, particularly where the appetite requires coaxing. It is made up of long, narrow strips of bread cut to the thinness of afternoon tea sandwiches, then toasted a delicate brown. All are lightly buttered and oiled on a hot plate log-cabin fashion. Shirtwaist Hint. After shirt waists are ironed put them on waist hangers to keep them in shape and hang these on the broom or other stick suspended from two chairs. Chicken Wiggle. One cupful of chopped chicken, one half cupful of milk, thickened; one cupful of peas; butter size of an egg; salt and pepper. Serve on dry toast Sherman, Clay & Co.

The subject of the conversation was a lawn party, which was to take place the next day. Both were discussing what they should wear, and after five minutes had come to no decision. In the midst of this conversation a masculine voice interrupted, asking humbly what number he had. The lack of reply did not squelch the inquirer, for he asked again for the number. One of the girls became indignant and scornfully asked: "What line do you think you are on, anyhow?" "Well," said the man, "I am not sure, but judging from what I have heard, I should say I was on the clothesline." "Here," said the professor, who was selling his wares on the street corner, "is a substance more powerful than radium. You can look through a brick wall with this." "Give me a quarter's worth," said a man in the audience. "Here you are, sir." "But where are the directions?" "Oh, they are simple. First bore a hole in the wall and then rub this on the hole." Judge—Are you married? Prisoner—No sir. Policeman—Beg your pardon, judge, he's wrong.
