The Muskogee Cimeter. DEFENDS CHARACTER OF THE NEGRO Chicago Man Says He Proved His Courage In The Teanster's Strike. THE MUSEUM Vol 6. In a speech, "The Chicago Strike and Negro Labor" delivered in New York, last week, Mr. S. Laing Williams, white, of Chicago said in part: "Out of the 6000 men imported as strike breakers, 700 only were colored men. As soon as these men reached Chicago, a test was made of their strength of character. Under the leadership of Curry. the strike breaker, several hundred of them paraded the streets with no weapons for their defense, except walking stick. Bricks, shoes, stones and everything possible were hurled at these Negro workers. But CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

A leading banker told me that the conduct of the Negro men had amazed him. Some firms for which these Negroes worked declared after the strike was over they would not employ any except Negro teamsters hereafter. "The teamsters' strike in Chicago has demonstrated that the Negro who is called upon to do difficult work, under difficult conditions is every inch a man." —Xenia (O.) Observer.

The individual without a hope will become a vagabond or a suicide. That pacifying, inspiring hope enable us to read the the future—the fruit of imagination, yet we must experiment and realize before the hope becomes a fact and imagination be comes a certainty. To tell today what will occur tomorrow in conjecture, but to prepare today to meet any condition that tomorrow may bring is good judgement. Reading the future then is preparing in the present for all possible happenings hereafter. The Rising Sun Fire Insurance Company of Muskogee, I.

It is rumored on reliable authority that Hen Wilson has left his wife again owing to some marital trouble between them. This is not the first time Hen and Sary Ann have had marital trouble. The last time before this Sary Ann struck Hen with a rolling pin above the left eye and he went out of the house and did not return for several weeks. Some says he went to the Co. seat and spent most of his time in a hospital. Finally he returned home a sadder and wiser man and him and Sary Ann made up again and started out together to try to live a different life with the dove of peace perched above their hearthstone, as you might say. But now ruction swift and terrible has broken out in their midst again. We got this straight or we wouldn't say anything about it in print. Mrs. Wilson herself told Mrs. Caroline Hooper that Hen had left home followed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to Ben Wade's wife and Ben Wade's wife told it to Mrs. Widow Henderson who told us. Sary Ann has a quick temper and when she gets mad there seems to be nothing else to do but for Hen to dig out for a while and wait until the clouds roll by. What the trouble was this time was that Hen went right into the house like a durn fool and set hiself down on a new sofa pillow which Mrs. Wilson had just finished. Mrs. Wilson stated that Hen might think that sofa pillows were made to sit on, but he was mistaken. Hen's whereabouts is at present unknown.—"Bingville Bugle Items" in the Boston Post. Properly Introduced. Margaret is a well-brought-up little girl who has some knowledge of etiquette. She has been taken to the country this summer to a house where there is a large dog. "Don't go near the dog, Margaret," said her mother; "he doesn't know you and he might bite." But that did not suit Margaret and she knew how to arrange matters. Going to the dog, she made a little courtesy such as she has been taught to make at dancing school and said politely: "Doggie, I-am Margaret Brown," Then, the introduction having been made and the dog having no excuse for not knowing her, Margaret waltzed up and petted him, while he wagged his tail with much graciousness. New York Times. No Other Cotton Fields. The attempt in this country, or the talk of it, to restrict the cotton acreage because of a heavy crop, following several short years, has naturally given new impetus to the movement set on foot several years ago by European cotton mill owners to find a new source of supply that would render them less dependent than at present upon the American supply. Encouraging reports have been received from time to time of this or that corner of the earth, but on the whole the prospect of a considerable increase from new fields is not encouraging and American growers apparently will not have to worry for several years over the matter of foreign competition.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Two Brothers. Harry Lehr told at Newport a story of two brothers—the one rich and ugly, the other poor and handsome. The two brothers sat in a cafe garden, and the rich one, as he lighted a cigarette, sighed complacently and said: "Confound it! All the mothers in New York are after me. There's no rest." The other brother, laughing, answered: "Yes, and all the daughters are after me. We divide the women folks between us."

For Cuts, Burns, Sprains and Insect Bites, it has no equal, so far as my experience goes." G. E. HUNTINGTON, Eufaula, Ala.

Don't get into the way of belittling your chances and feeling they are not big enough to bother over. DATE 'EM STOP, WOMAN! AND CONSIDER THE ALL- IMPORTANT FACT peri- nen's great reely it is ate That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass., for special advice. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it. "I do not believe it will help me." To cure, or money refunded by your merchant, so why not try it? Price 50c. 8URE CURE FOR WORRY. Before Suicide, Try Digging a Ditch for Two Hours. A gentleman whose name is unfamiliar to me, but whose humorous instinct arouses my sincere admiration, writes as follows to a newspaper: "Sir, Apropos of your article on 'Worry,' I have found digging for an hour or two in stiff soil has a wonderfully salutary effect." And the charm of the observation lies in the fact that it is perfectly true. I know something about digging. In earlier life, I was a member of a volunteer corps. For one week in each year I used to go into camp, and our adjutant would vary the monotony of drills and sham-fights by setting us to dig field-kitchens and rifle-trenches. "As far as I remember, we had to dig a thing called a 'half-hour trench.' From the name, I presume that experienced sappers would complete the job in half-an-hour, but my comrades and myself congratulated ourselves warmly if we managed to make any sort of a ditch in two hours. "Shirking, I am sorry to say, was out of the question, for some officious person measured off the whole trench into equal portions, and each man was compelled, therefore, to rely upon his own unalded spade. "Well, you never saw any men worry less than we did at the end of those two hours. A quart of shandygaff and six feet of cool turf constituted elysium, and nothing short of a severe thunderstorm would have persuaded us to move a finger. "Before suicide, therefore, try digging."—London Sketch. Welding by Electricity In the novel method of electric welding of a Berlin firm, the heat applied is evolved by an electric arc formed between the working piece and a carbon electrode at the place where the weld is to be made. A relatively small electric generator is used with a storage battery connected up in parallel, and the carbon, fixed in the holder, is readily shifted as desired. The great heat melts both the working piece and the metal to be welded, insuring an immediate juncture. Welding material is supplied until the joint or aperture is filled and by gradually reducing the arc the weld is cooled slowly. The process supplies especially a cheap and simple means for making small repairs in large castings. Child's Inductive Reasoning. Here is a curious bit of reasoning of the part of a little girl in a North country school. The examiner wished to get the children to express moral reprobation of lazy people, and he led up to it by asking who were the persons who got all they could and did nothing in return. For some time there was silence, but at last the little girl, who had obviously reasoned out the answer inductively from her own home experience, exclaimed, with a good deal of confidence, "Please, sir, it's the baby!"—London Tit-Bits. Flag to Replace Church Bells. A Londoner suggests that church bells be abolished, practically everybody knowing what the time is nowadays, and that a flag be hoisted on each church during a fixed period before service. Test for Chauffeurs. At a recent automobile meet in England one of the competitions was to test the capacity of the chauffeurs to judge the pace at which their respective machines were traveling. Danger in "Spare Room." The custom of some housekeepers to keep the "spare room" closed at all times and then opening it only for warming just before putting a guest into it is, to put it mildly, very thoughtless, says an exchange. Cold objects, bedding included, when exposed to sudden heat, condense the moisture in the air and consequently such beds are always damp and cold and are the most unhealthy and should be avoided even by guests. Better go to an up-to-date hotel or walk home any number of miles than to sleep in such a bed. CUTICURA GROWS HAIR. Scalp Cleared of Dandruff and Hair Restored by One Box of Cuticura and One Cake of Cuticura Soap. A. W. Taft of Independence, Va., writing under date of Sept. 15, 1904, says: "I have had falling hair and dandruff for twelve years and could get nothing to help me. Finally I bought one box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and they cleared my scalp of the dandruff and stopped the hair falling. Now my hair is growing as well as ever. I am highly pleased with Cuticura Soap as a toilet soap. (Signed) A. W. Taft, Independence, Va."

"In my family medicine chest no remedy is permitted to remain unless it proves beyond doubt the best to be obtained for its particular purpose. "For treating all manner of skin troubles, such as Eczema, Tetter, Ringworm, etc., Hunt's Cure has held its place for many years. I have failed to find a surer remedy. It cures itching instantly." R. M. SWANN, Franklin, La. Paderewski's First Teacher Paderewski began studying music at the age of 7, his first teacher being a man who made his living by giving lessons on the piano, which he himself could not play. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The Tokio Street Railway Company serves a population of 1,500,000. In Japan it is known as the Tokio Shigai Tedsudo. Its capital is $7,500,000.

Industry, integrity and economy will do for them what it has done for other human beings and advance them more rapidly on the highway of life than any other policy. There is no reason why any Negro should not with these qualities speedily make himself a decent home of his own and have the respect and confidence of his neighbors, black and white alike. In this worthy ambition I wish the colored people Godspeed. Robt. L. Owen. We thank Mr. Robt. L. Owen for his kind wishes and the race is glad to count him one of their friends.

On Monday afternoon there was a shooting scrape in the south part of town in which T. A. Ketchum as a white man and Will Robinson a colored were the actors. It is reported that Ketchum assaulted the Negro with a revolver, and the Negro went home and got a winchester they both began a duel and when the smoke cleared away no one was hurt, and both duelist were on the run. The account of the affair published in the Phoenix is a "Pipe Dream." It is rumored that there is a colored woman in the case. We shall investigate that part of the rumor the public shall know the whole truth. Ketchum gave bond for his appearance before the court and Robinson gave leg bond. AN EFFICIENT OFFICER. J. O. Mitchell, a well known Negro citizen of this city, prominent in business circles, was J S BROWNLOW. MANAGER. shot in the right arm early Tuesday morning by Dennis Cyrous a colored posseman for Deputy Cordell of Wewoka. The shooting occurred in a rooming house on North Main street. Mitchell had some difficulty with a woman, who first fired a shot. The posseman, who was in another room, was awakened by some one coming into his room. Mitchell entered the room with a revolver in his hand. Cyrous told him put the gun down. Instead of doing so he raised it as if to shoot, when Cyrus fired. The bullet entered his right arm near the shoulder and came out near the back of the neck. Mitchell will recover, Cyrous was given a hearing before Commissioner Scofield Tuesday and discharged. No other arrests have been made —Phoenix. Denis Cyrus is one of the best officers in the Western district and is always faithful in the performance of his duty. Those who know him best know that he is a brave and fearless officer and that he would not injure anyone without just provocation. The Commissioner very properly discharged Mr. Cyrous after a hearing. Prof. Briles, our new Supt. of schools, is getting down to business and judging from the interview published in the Pheonix, he is the right man in the right place. We believe our schools will prosper under his supervision and that the interest of the children, white, black, and red will be carefully guarded and that the same will be true of the teachers, and that none but clean people morally will be retained in positions and in all of this he will receive the support of our Board of Education who as a whole deserve much credit for what they are doing for our schools.

MUSKOGEE, NOTES OF TWO TERRITORIES Governor Ferguson has issued his official order designating Chandler as the place for holding the next annual encampment of the Oklahoma national guards. The encampment will be held for six days, beginning October 5. J. R. Marbet, a St. Louis capitalist, has made a proposition to the citizens of Chickasha to erect a $25,000 opera house. The company he represents have built opera houses in several territory towns. The city council of Davis has granted a franchise through the streets of that place to the Oklahoma City, Lexington and Sulphur Springs electric railway company. Henryetta has sold a gas and waterworks franchise to J. Smith, an eastern capitalist. The price given has not been made public. The killing of an immense rattle snake is reported from Homer, a small place near Davis. The snake measured four feet ten inches and possessed twenty-six rattles and a button. Since January 24, the date of the government payment at Sulphur, there has been built and under construction over $250,000 of building improvements. Eight boys, each about fifteen years of age, were arrested at Marlow last week upon the charge of disturbing public worship and demolishing property belonging to a school district. They were taken before a magistrate and fined ten dollars apiece. At Fort Sill every precaution is being taken to prevent malaria and other diseases. All bodies of water near the post are covered with coal oil, 200 barrels having already been utilized. This is done to kill mosquitoes and prevent further breeding of these pests. During the past week worms have been noticed on the cotton in the vicinity of Lawton and as a result George F. Miles an expert in the agricultural department at Washington, was sent to make experiments and endeavor to stop this great destroyer. Jake Woods, a lad fourteen years old, living at Madill came very nearly meeting his death by diving from a bank into shallow water. He was told by a companion that the water was deep at that point, but proved to be only thirteen inches with a rock bottom. The boy's face and top of his head were badly bruised. Howard Bush, a young man twenty years old, hailing from Kansas, was run over by a Santa Fe train near Ardmore and instantly killed. It is supposed he was walking on the track and did not notice an approaching train. He had over $75 on his person when picked up. Sapulpa physicians may erect a hospital. A stock company is being organized with that object in view. The Chiloocco Indian Industrial schools, has 2,500 acres of land under cultivation this year. The school's wheat crop amounted to 200 acres, there were 220 acres in oats, and the corn crop covers 1,200 acres. Besides these crops 100 acres were devoted to cane 400 acres to alfalfa, 20 acres to navy beans, 40 acres to cow peas, 40 acres to milo maize, 100 acres to garden, 40 acres to orchard, and 20 acres to vineyard. THE MOMENT'S MODES SOME BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF FASHION'S FANCIES. Charming Design in Light Blue Bastiste—Pretty Sheer Summer Frock Topcoat for the Early Fall—Crin Hats to be Popular the Coming Season. Girdle Is Still Popular. The prediction of the disappearance of the high girdle has become nearly as familiar as the one that has doomed the bolero to extinction only to find it shaking itself from the ashes of a fleeting disfavor to assume its same old place in the wardrobe or a still worthier one. The girdle, as a fact, is just as much in evidence as ever, and, with the princess gown or its effect waxing in popularity, the girdle is likely to remain prevalent for another season at least. It is still, too, in the latest gowns, as pointed as ever. The fact is that the girdle is suited to the wearer and, any shape which is becoming is modish. For a slight figure there is a worthful suggestion in the cut where the waist is swathed with a deep, shaped girdle, pointing low at the front and extending half the width of the bodice at the top, where it ends in two points. Crin Hats for Fall and Winter. Crin hats are to be worn all the fall and winter, and those of black crin, or trimmed with foliage in green shades, or rosettes of shaded ribbons also in greens, make one of the little hats, which is good not only for any season but for any occasion. There is a new tarpaulin hat in three-cornered shape brought in this fall which is intended for automobile wear, but which makes an excellent outing and rainy day hat. They can be had from $1.50 up to $5, those at the latter price, however, being as superior in both shape and softness and becomingness as it would be if they were two patent leather shoes at the same price. New and Likewise Pretty. Quite new and pretty are the silk walking petticoats embroidered with eyelet work, upon flounce borders, and across headings. In grays and colors matching the costume they are most effective. More serviceable are the fine alpacas, black ones in particular, having shared flounces eighteen inches wide, covered with narrow stitched crossbands of black taffeta. Of Light Blue Batiste. Batiste in light shades, trimmed in batiste openwork embroidery, is a special favorite for hot-weather frocks. 1 and the first cut illustrates a charming design in light blue. The skirt, finely tucked over the hips, is walking length and is finished at the foot with three deep tucks. On the blouse, the embroidery is put on over the shoulders in epaulette fashion and bib front, edged all around with narrow valennciennes dyed to match the material and embroidery. Elbow sleeves have carried all before them so far as sheer frocks are concerned, and in this case, instead of a frill for finish, a double row of lace forms the turn-back cuff. A tab of embroidery edged with lace is set on top. Of Canary Batiste. Of pretty, sheer summer frocks there is apparently no end, and even as late in the season as this fresh models are constantly being shown. As an example, here is one in canary batiste, outlined by the tiniest frills of plain material. Elbow sleeves so 1 much in vogue, giving a certain air of festivity, are formed of one large and two small puffs edged with a deep frill of batiste. For Early Fall Topcoat. For the tailor-made coat the moderately full coat sleeves, rather high and square at the shoulder, but not emphasizing these lines on an exaggerated degree, and the modified gigot quite full at top and rather close below the elbow, are the two models that have the greatest vogue. The gigot form may be secured by the cutting of the plain sleeve, or may be attained by laying the lower part of the sleeves in flatly-stitched, small vertical plaits. There is no denying that the gigot idea predominates in sleeve modes, but it is a modified and chastened gigot that we have accepted and shows itself rather in the fact that the sleeve is broader at the shoulder than any point below than in exaggerated fullness at the shoulder. Dusty Piano Keys. Dusty piano keys are about as annoying a thing to even an amateur performer as anything can be, except, perhaps, sticky keys. Just how they get that way nobody knows—something in the atmosphere at certain times of the year is probably responsible for it, but a few seconds each day will effectually remove the effect, if it doesn't the cause. The keys should be dusted religiously and the piano lid kept closed, if they show a disposition to get dusty again soon. And a cloth, barely moistened, will take dirt and stickiness off. The Pannier Effect. Some noticeable frocks with pannier effect of a modest type have been in evidence and the earlier attempt to launch panniers, which met with failure, is apparently being revived in some influential quarters. However, the general tendency is toward the clinging hip lines, many of the newest skirts being sheathlike around the hips, while spreading to billowing fullness at the bottom. Attractive Walking Petticoats. The most attractive walking petticoats have come out—white ones, with deep ruffles edged with the merest scallop of blind work, and the petticoats are cut well—there's all the freedom of movement that you want when you don short skirts. Hints for Building and Improvements Plan of Grain Barn. The above cut shows the plan of a barn, which combines capacity with cheapness. The upright supports may be either 4x6 posts, or round poles, and where large, flat stones are not available may be set in holes with concrete in the bottom and all around the posts well up and beveled at the top, so as to shed the water. The barn is 42 feet wide by any desired length, the side posts to be set 8 feet apart. On account of the double angle of the MAY DOORS 10' x 12' 4 inch side of rafter. Side View. roof purline posts are not required. As there are no timbers in the center there is plenty of room for hay. Material for Cement Blocks. J. R. F.—I intend to build a house of concrete blocks. How much cement will be required to be mixed with each cubic yard of sand in making the concrete? 2. If the wall has an air space in the center is it necessary to lath and plaster on the inside to prevent dampness? If sand is used in making the cement blocks, it will take two barrels of Portland cement to one cubic yard of sand. If fine gravel is used it will take one and one-quarter barrels of cement to one cubic yard of gravel and would make as good a block. A continuous air space as described is generally sufficient, but if strapped, lathed and plastered it would be sure to make a thoroughly dry wall. Notching Logs for a House.

Father (to sleepy-headed son coming to breakfast on time)—So you got up before breakfast, did you? Son—No, sir, after it. Father (surprised)—After? Son—Yes, sir. If I hadn't got up after it I wouldn't have got any. AGRICULTURE The Stone Drain. On farms where the land is stony, stone is used extensively in the construction of drainage ditches. The work of building a drain of this kind is much greater than it is of building a tile drain, but when it is built it often proves very effective in doing what was required of it. The ditch must be made wider than in the case of the tile drain, and there must be room for a man to work at the bottom. There is, however, the advantage in favor of the stone drain that it does not have to be below the frost line as does the unglazed tile drain. The floor of the drain must be hard and even. The sides are made by putting up stones of nearly uniform height. The top consists of flat stones placed on top of the sides. Over the flat stones are thrown in smaller stone and very small stones on top of those. Usually hay is thrown in and an even layer made and on top of this is placed the dirt. The hay will rot, but by that time the soil will have compacted itself and is not likely to work down into the drain. Oregon Water Hemlock. This is one of the poisonous plants growing in our pastures, especially to the west. The root stock is vertical, as shown in the illustration. It contains most of the poison found in the c a b d b plant. The fibrous roots run out from this and follow the surface of the ground. This root stock rots or dwindles away almost entirely before the seeds mature, but fresh ones are formed from it for next season's growth. A piece of this root stock the size of a walnut is fatal to a cow. A piece the size of a marble is fatal to man. The water table in the soil must receive the early attention of the farmer. It should never be near the surface after the ground has thawed out in the spring. Intelligence can overcome both drouth and freshet, at least in their after effects. There is some crop that will grow on almost every kind of land. The farmer that sells butter and keeps the milk on the farm is doing the best for himself and the children that are to inherit the farm after him. FASHIONABLE RAG PICKERS Well Dressed Women Hunt Patches in Department Store Scrap Heaps Rag pickers are now in the fashionable circles. With the recent innovation of Martha Washington curtains, silk patched pillows and variegated curtains the women of the more exclusive set have taken to rag picking as a summer fad. The heads of the dry goods firms in this city are besieged with applications for their clipped off remnants of silk and satins and their bundles of salesmen's samples. For a long time the most accommodating of these merchants allowed their salesmen to do the picking among the debris themselves, but the fad has become so overwhelmingly popular that the women are given the opportunity to scratch for themselves. Now it is not unusual to see a couple of well dressed women in some little dark corner of a big wholesale house rummaging in piles of rags for the desired patches. Phila 'elphia Record. Considerate Motorists A number of English automobilists have formed an organization under the title of League of Considerate motorists, for the encouragement of careful driving and consideration of the general public. A number of M. P's and others prominent in the professions have enrolled their names. Lesson for Women. Jersey Shore, Pa., Aug. 28th (Special)—"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me." That's what Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. "I was laid up sick," Mrs. Earnest continues, "and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good reason to praise them everywhere." Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is "cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease." Woman's health depends almost entirely on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys.

Even English Admit American Women Excel in This Respect. A contemporary has been waxing eloquent over the woman who walks well, and lamenting the rarity of grace and dignity in the average woman's gait. And it must be confessed, if the woman whom one sees in the streets of the metropolis be taken as an example, a waddling walk or little mincing tripping steps seem to be all-prevalent. An English woman walks worse than any other woman. The French woman steps out with lightness and ease; the American with a fine strength and an air as if the pavement belonged to her, and should be honored by the tread of her little feet; and as for the Spanish woman, even lighter and slimmer of foot that the daughters of Jonathan, why hers is the very prettiest of motion. An Englishwoman, if I may so express myself, is handicapped by her feet. Hers are far, very far, from the neatest known, and her mauvaise honte in showing them to a watchful world, how natural. Poor thing, she is too often in a hurry. She does more in her day than any other woman, and it is not possible to be graceful while hustling. Walk slowly (says a master of deportment), with a quiet swing, but with a swing, head back and your weight on each foot in turn. Take care not to rob yourself of inches by giving at the knees. Practise with a book on your head at home, and say to yourself meanwhile as a suggestion: "The poetry of motion. The poetry of motion."—Gentlewoman, London. Not a Matter of Speed. Dr. W. W. Keen, the noted surgeon of Philadelphia, was praising speed in surgical operations. The best surgeons, he declared, were always the swiftest. Speed was one of the great essentials of fine operating, since, the briefer the period passed by the patient under the knife, the greater the chance for his complete recovery. "On this head," Dr. Keen continued, smiling, "there is a story of a distinguished English surgeon. "He performed successfully a difficult and delicate operation on a millionaire banker's wife, and naturally, the bill that he rendered for this operation was a large one. It was not exorbitant, but it was enough—a reasonable and just bill. "The banker, though, thought otherwise. With an imprecation he declared the bill to be an outrage. "Why,' he cried, 'the operation only took you ten minutes.' "The surgeon laughed. "'Oh,' he said, 'if that is your only objection, the next time any of your family needs an operation, I'll keep them two or three hours under the knife.'" Justified. The professor was delivering an eloquent address on cruelty to animals, and to illustrate how a little judicious forethought would eliminate to a great extent the sufferings that even small insects are subject to, said: "As I was coming through the hall to night I saw a bald-headed gentleman very harshly treat a little innocent housefly which had alighted on his head. Now, if there was any justification for such bad temper I would be quite justified in indulging in it at the present moment, for a fly has just alighted on the back of my head. Now it is coming down my brow; now it is coming on to my—— G-r-r-eat Pyramids of Egypt, it's a—wasp!"—London Tit-Bits. Irresponsibility.

Under the name as "asakusanori," one variety is put up in neat tin boxes and largely sold in the Tokio markets. Ads and Ads. There's lots of advertising writers who make good copy on mighty poor subjects. When you've got the subject, it does not take fine language to tell it.
