Mapleson used to say that he picked his chorus entirely fresh every season from the best and most spirited people of Italy—who could sing. It was his pride that they were the most lifelike operatic actors in the world. Said Mr. Mapleson: "You read in the papers about the bands of the mountains holding up British noblemen every few days for half a million ransom, when not in the army fighting for their country. Well, the best of Advertising America is the land of unique sign painting and strange devices for advertising. Millions of dollars have been spent in New York city for the expensive and elaborate signs, many of them artistic and exceedingly attractive. But the genius who preempted a tree in one of the up-town districts before surveyors and builders came along drew much attention to his signboards. The picture shows the tree, which is said to date back to the Revolution and for more than a hundred years withstood the wildest storms that swept the Atlantic coast.

Uncle Sam Hopes to Produce One That Will Combine Attributes of Style, Action and Beauty. BONNY IOWA, One of the mares at the government horse breeding station. STABLES AT THE GOVERNMENT BREEDING STATION. When President Roosevelt visited Colorado a few months ago he called, attention to the importance of the government horse breeding station recently established at Fort Collins. At this experiment station, under the Colorado state agricultural colle charge of Dean W. L. Carlyle of the Colorado state agricultural college at Fort Collins, the government hopes to develop the ideal American carriage horse. The great stallion, Carmon, formerly Thomas W. Lawson's Glorious Thundercloud, has been selected as the head of the stud. This great horse, after the mature deliberation of a committee of experts, was selected as being the nearest to the type of horse which it is proposed to develop. There are nineteen mares, a high breeding and selected with the care that marked the selection of Carmon, and it is hoped, by proper care, that it will develop a style of horse that will be typically American, and that it will have all the attributes of action, style in rest, endurance, lung capacity and power. The horse breeding experiment station has been established only about a year and a half. There are thirteen colts running about the great pasture, and these show all the markings and characteristics of the highest breed type of horseshield. It is not expected to develop the ideal American horse at once, however. If a satisfactory breed is developed in twenty years, or in the house of a generation, the scientists who are making this important experiment in horses will be more than satisfied. It is realism that work must be slow, and that years must elapse before success can crown the work. Everything depends on the start, however, and it is gratifying to learn that the leading horsemen of the country commend the beginning that has been made by the government, and have every faith in the type of horse to be developed from mares that now form the nucleus of the government stud. Not a move has been made in this important work without the most mature deliberation. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry at the work from the hands in touch with the work from the hands in touch with the experiment being directly under the department.

Scientists have found that the plains of Colorado, stretching east from the Rocky mountains, formed the natural home of the horse in this country. The Intre W. C. Whitney equipped an exertion to find traces of the first horse in this country, and the bones of the celebrated three-toed, pigmy horse were unearthed near Julesburg, Colo., showing that the plains saw the earliest development of man's CARMON, GREAT STALLION AT H and his groomsman, best friend. Not only does the dry, crisp air, at the Colorado altitudes. give horses great lung capacity and power, but the absence of moistness tends to make a more solid bone for- mation. The cow ponies of the West- ern range are the hardest horses of their size in the world. Their great lung capacity and their solid bones combine to make them ideal for end- urance. These facts decided the government experts to select Colorado as the breeding ground of the American horse, and the hardy condition of the animals, at Fort Collins would indicate that the choice was a wise one.

There is an exercising track in front, where Carmon and the rest of the government horses are put through their paces by Mr. Hutton.

Physician Gives Hints of Value to the Layman. In a suggestive article on bathing, a doctor gives some hints which should never be forgotten and which are of interest to those who have long known them as well as to those who have not. Here are a few excerpts: Should one feel chilled after a cold bath and the following hard rub, that HEAD OF GOVERNMENT STUD, , James Hutton. person must realize that cold baths are bad. There is really no way I can suggest that a person can tell whether or not cold baths are good for him, except by the glow and warmth that should follow. I think if the finger nails look blue and the body is covered with gooseflesh after the bath that it is too strenuous, says the physician. As to the method of taking baths, I believe that a needle, shower or bath sponge is best, for few are strong enough to stand, a plunge, and as to slitting or lying in a tub of cold water, would say unhestiating that it is unnecessary. It takes too much animal heat and results in a loss of energy that is unnecessary, who are not strong enough to take a cold water bath as it comes from the spigot will find it immensely beneficial when a bag of salt is placed in the tub; or by taking the chill off with the addition of warm water, the bath will still be practically cold, for the temperature will be much cooler than the body. A rule, a bath should, be taken only in the morning directly after rising, unless a person is very warm and wants a cold tub on a hot day or in a few cases of extreme fatigue. When very warm I would suggest that the individual wait until the perspiration is entirely dried on the body before getting into the water, the shock to the nerves and the rapture to the blood is drawn to the surface of the blood the cold is not good. This same rule applies to salt water bathing. And many persons who jump into the surf when very warm and covered with perspiration often wonder why they were nauseated after they have been in a few minutes. One of the most refreshing baths I have ever taken is a combination of the cupful of cider vinegar and cold water. If it is not too cold I would suggest lying in it from five to ten minutes when particularly fatigued, for the reaction is remarkable. There is this to be guarded against in cold water bathing, that it is not to be done unless the person is physically fit, never when the thought of the cold on the body brings a shiver or if one feels weak. At such times a bath in tepid water will be far better and will have no bad results, as the cold one might. Pain is a small price to pay for the joy of sacrifice. President Roosevelt's Retreat at Pine Knot. Probably no ruler in the world has such a modest country home as the president of the United States. It is situated in the heart of the wilderness, in the state of Virginia, and is called Pine Knot because it is nearly hidden in a clump of trees. The house was partly built of the timber of trees in the woodland to make a clearing for a farm, and in front in support is supported by posts of these trees left in their natural state. The Roosevelt home is so far away from the nearest railroad that the president and his family are obliged to ride horseback or drive in a vehicle for several hours after leaving their car to reach it. The nearest community of any size is over twenty miles distant, and so few people live in this part of the United States that between the town and Pine Knot only about ten houses can be seen. This quiet spot was selected for a home by Mrs. Roosevelt. The house cost actually less than $500, for many American laborer and farmer lives in a small dwelling. The people in the vicinity are large houses, but it is comfortably furnished and has a large open hearth, where a fire is always burning on cold days and THE STREET CENTER THE PORCH WITH ITS PINE TREE POSTS. In the evening. The house has but four rooms and a small shed, where the meals for the president's family are cooked by the one servant. At times Mrs. Roosevelt, who is an expert in cuisine, prepares the meal with her own hands. The next door neighbor is a lithe and clear-eyed mountaineer, whose affairs have prospered until he owns a house that cost at least two thousand dollars. He is one of the most prosperous residents of the section, is Sam Hoffman, in his two-thousand-dollar mansion. But Sam takes off his hat when he meets his neighbor. "Neighbor" Roosevelt wherever he may wander around "Plain Dealing" play station. And because he chooses the kind of life and this unadorned simplicity of living for his recreational hours, he unconsciously sets his fellow citizens an example of sterling value. So-called "country life" has been made a good deal of a farce by the rich who built themselves huddled palaces and call them "cottages," who call it "vacation" to spend the summer at Newport and the winter at Palm Beach who take their pleasures in drove with prodigal ostentation of outlaw and who talk of "the simple life" as If you were riding that way, and chanced to see this refuge chosen by Theodore Roosevelt as a country place, you would think it the clearing and the home of a settler carving out his humble niche in the wilderness. And if the owner is there, you may see him laying his axe, with sturdy' arm, into the butt of a pine which must give way to make way for his clearing. Just woods, and the smell of fir, and the mountain winds, and a roof for shelter, and a joyous solitude—these are what the president sought 'and found in his neck of the woodland, which is dignified among the moun- FRONT OF HOUSE SHOWING TREE FRONT OF HOUSE SHOWING TREES CUT BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT talneers by the name of "Rosevelt's Rest."

This is not the kind of territory that any one would seek out as a refuge from care and work unless his love of a nature were genuine; unless he wished the "real things," and these only. The nearest trolley line is fifteen miles across the hills, and Scottsville, the only town within driving distance, is an hour away. If the larder is empty, Willy's store can be loaded in half an hour on horseback at the town. Willy's store carries a limited stock of potted ham, codfish, crackers and ginger snaps, but does its heaviest trade in axle grease and cartridges. If the president wishes a more varied assortment, he must ride on to Scottsville. There are no markets, no stockage, no telephones to the butcher, the baker and the ice man. But everywhere is the bigness of the outdoor world, mile after mile of walking and riding without sign of human handwork except the infrequent cabin of the mountaineer.

Captain Billings--Sleepwalker Author of "Sinful Peck," "Down to the Sea," etc A small Lake Huron potato-schooner lay at a dock in Godicher, and on her bandbox of a cabin sat the big, fat captain, puffing a pipe. Another big man, but with a solemn and sorrowful face, strolled down the dock and climbed aboard. "Have ye all hands, sir?" he asked. "Want a mate," said the captain, peering at the man between puffs. "You sail mate!" "Been mate. Salt-water mon." "Scotchman, ain't you?" "Yes." "I'm not, thank God. You'll get a dollar a day here. Go for your clothes." "I may be mistaken, capt'n, but—What am I to call ye, sir?" "Billings—Capt. Billings." "I may be mistaken, Capt'n Billings, but are ye no the man that slugged me grievously in the nose 20 years gone, in Fat Anna's bardin-hoose in Bombay." "There was a barely perceptible twinkle in Billings, eyes at this, but Mr. Machperson went ashore the allegation, and Mr. Machperson went ashore for his dunnage. When he returned, the pipe was out and Capt. Billings had waddled amidships. "There's your room in the cabin," he said, pointing aft. "The cook there'a—a colored brother was smiling out the forward cabin door—'will show you. He sleeps forrand, but the man. Now, one thing I must tell you, Mr. Macpherson. I a somnambulist. "A what, sir?" inquired the mate, dumping his bag on deck. "A sleep-walker. I'm a bad case, I'm under the doctor's care for it. I'm liable to get up from my bunk at any time." "Aye, sir. Ye walk 'round decks sound asleep. I've heard 'o such things." "Worse. I'm another man, or rather the same man younger. I'm a sailor 'fore the mast again." Next morning Macpherson was up before night. Up the dock he saw the buky, waddling figure of the captain heaving along toward the schooner. "Mornin', cappen', said the big, fat skipper, smiling rather vacantly in the morning light. "Got all hands?" "Mornin', capt'n', repeated Mr. Macphail. "Well, Im lookin' for a berth, sir.' said the captain. "Rather early, sir." PICKED UP HIS BAG AND SLOWLY MOVED AWAY. the morain', I know, but it's a strange town. Must 'a' be on a bat. I quit an English bark at Cape Town the other day. What town is this, sir, anyhow?" Mr. Macpherson's jaw dropped in sheer amazement; then he comprehended. "What's your name?" he demanded. "Jock Billings, sir; able seaman. Here's my discharges." He reached into his pocket, then withdrew his hand, with a blank face. "Must 'hast' lost, em, sir. But I'm an A. B." "Na doot, na doot. Lookin' for a berth?" Billings nodded. "Come aboard. Fifteen dollars a month." Billings smiled, and came aboard. McPherson went aft, ruthlessly searched the captain's desk, and found the articles, signed only by the cook, and dated the day before, for the trip after which his own name as f mate of $30 a month. "Come afte' he an' seen articles," he bawled from the cabin door, and Billings obediently came, and signed as able seaman, at $15 a month. In five minutes from the time Mr. Macpherson started for the rail, the nefarious job was complete—he had shipped and signed as sailor the captain who had signed him as mate. And the darky cook was none the wiser; captains, mates and sailors who had him—loud-voiced individuals for whom it was his duty to cook, and it mattered little to him that in this case the mate was the noisiest. So he helped the two to make salt and when Mr. Macpherson had steered the little craft out into the lake, took the wheel at the mate's behest. Mr. Macpherson went forward. "Jock Billings," he said, "come here." Billings came obediently. "We're too fat, Jock. D'yo know me, by the way." Billings looked keenly, though stupidly, at him. "I—I—think I may—" "Aye, ye think right, Jock. 'I'm the mon ye chastised no long back when ye were no so fat as ye are the noo. I've a long memory, Jock, an 'lord has a long arm. An 'lord the Lord never'me ye to be so fat, Jock, an has given ye into my hands to reduce ye. Take you that broom by the windlass, an' that draw-bucket by the pump, an' scrub this schoner clean." "Aye, aye, sir," answered Jock, cheerfully. The weather remained fine, the wind a succession of cat'spaws between long intervals of calm, and still the captain did not awake, but remained Jock, stupid, short of memory, very cheerful, with less girder, grief joints and several pounds of fat turned into solid muscle. His dumb, patient suffering under the mate's persecution on that long drift down the lakes need not be enlarged upon. Through it all he was the target for a running fire of comment and abuse in burden of which was Mr. Macpherson's disapproval but his estimate of Scotchmen. He was past caring for consequences now—only intent upon punishing the man who had "slugged" him for being Scotch. But there was a dark Nemesis camped on his trail. Unknown to him, the cook, who slept in the forecaste, had questioned the ox-like animal that hours' rest in the height, and the sult was that he ceasled all his surprised comment from the galley door, and waited. Whatever truth there may have been in the mate's surmise that reminiscence was what threw Capt. Billings into his past, certain it is that he was wrong in his selection of the antidote. Hard work did not waken him, though it did him a world of physical good. While still Jock Billings the little schooner came into port during the night, and as Jock Billings he went to sleep, as usual, in the forecast, and as Capt. Billings he wakened in the morning before either the cook or the mate, and came up to his schooner moored to the old familiar deck he deck bleached whiter than before, he riggled taut and tarred, and things genuinely more shipshape than he had ever seen them. Rousing the cook, he went afft, with many an admiring look around and aloft, and waked his treasure of a mate. And when Mr. Macpherson appeared, he greeted him with enthusiasm and brotherly love. "You've done well, Mg. Macpherson," he said, beamingly. "I'm proud of you—that I am. You and I'll get along. But, by George, I'm in a bad way myself—in fact, I need just such a man as you. Waked in the forecastle. Been asleep all the way, haven't I!" "Aye," answered the mate, cautiously. "An' it to the forecastle ye go when ye want to lie doom an' rest." "Funny. I must see the doctor and have it 'tended to. I' am getting worse." He looked aloft. "Scraped and dried down, and everything set and you did it all alone. Well, well have some paint aboard next trip." "Aye, paint her if ye like, sir, but I'll take my money here, sir, an' you. There's too much work makein' a yacht oot e' this hooker. I have to do it all." "Dat's a lie, cappen," said a disgusted voice behind them. "He nebear done a single ting but boss de job. He made you scrape de mats, an' grease dem down, an' den you work like aroustabout wid tackles an' ropes, an' den you go up an' tar down—an' you didn't know anytiny 'bout it, sah. "Hold your evil tongue," roared the mate. "It's a liar ye are. Let's have my money, capt'n. I'm through." "Look at yo' hands, cappen," persisted the cook, indigently. "Jes' look at de tar on yo' hands." The captain looked, and his face darkened. "In his so, Mr. Macpherson," he said, "that while in my other self—a sailor again—you have worked me as such aboard my own schooner?" "Pay me off an' I answer ye," said the mate, doggedly. Red in the face, Capt. Billings darted toward him; but Mr. Macpherson elended his grasp, and being the better runner, gained the dock. "Give me my money," he said; "that's all I ask." "You're not on the articles," said the angry captain. "You'll get nothing for this trick. You have no legal claim." "I am on the articles," insisted Mr. Macpherson. "at a dollar a day. Fourteen-dollars you an, me an, Capt. Billings. You can toss it to me, you can direct your Senegambian friend to tow my bag clothes on the dock. I'm intrigued. Capt. Billings went below and inspected the articles. Then he removed his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and told the cook to throw the mate's bag on the dock. "Mr. Macpherson," he said, calmly, when he reached the deck, "I and you are right, and within the law. You shipped a man named Jock Billings, and made him work. You're a smart man, besides being a whole seaman. I'll pay you off at three dollars a day, and sign you on for the season, but you must come aboard and get it." Mr. Macpherson looked at the huge muscles he had developed on the captain's arms, and picked up his bag and slowly moved away. (Copyright, 1966, by Joseph B. Bowles). Eye Strain a Seat of ILLS. When the specialist to whom they had taken their 16-year-old daughter on account of what seemed to be a case of infiltrant melancholia diagnosed the case as one of eye strain and ordered prompt treatment from an oculist, the parents of a young New York girl were astonished. Eye strain seemed as remote from melancholia as wounds on the feet. Their astonishment immediately increased when after a few treatments and acquiring glasses the child showed a noticeable improvement. Latter day medical science traces to eye strain many ills which seem so remote from the eye that formerly physicians never thought of establishing a connection between them. Sick headache, nervousness, melanoma, insomnia, are but a few which have been brought to the door of weak eyes, the proper treatment having been neglected. Nervous diseases of the nature of St. Vitus' dance are now thought to originate frequently in eye trouble. The weak eyes blink incessantly and this causes a contortion of the facial muscles, which the subject through constant repetition DELIA AT TWENTY. BY GERTIE De S. WENTWORTH-JAMES. Twenty to day!

I almost laugh at turn back the page and read an imptunant self-belief of four years ago. The chronicles of 18 and 19 seem little more than pages of fashionable intelligence (my debut, balls, parties and general frivolities); but the entry of 20 will be different from them all. I have left the "teen" days behind, and my heart and I have begun to grow up. Yes, the thoughts of youth may be "long," but they are not always glad. Mine are not glad to-day—in fact (I'm not quite sure, but I fancy so). I am acutely miserable! The Mendleigh house ball is my blue chiffon gown is crush lilies in my hair and on my brow drooping, the stars are pals birthday is past, and—my life is gun! I hardly know how to chorel but I must! One cannot faith with a lair that is only once a year! When we arrived he was waiting for me at the top stairs. His greeting was stimily restrained as usual; and aftef down his name a couple of on my programme, he bow crossed over to Erica—who is ning to look terribly matronal thing! (Such a pity when I six months younger than she is they are supremely happy, so Without quite realizing it myself, I know that I must have been thinking about him ever since the beginning of the season, when we met at the Arlingtonts "flower dinner." We haven't seen each other very often, and never for long at a time; but still I know that whenever I go anywhere my first glance round is to look for a sleek, dark, painted-looked head, and a face that is decidedly Napoleonic about the upper lip. He isn't tall, he isn't well-built, he almost slouches (the right sort of slouch, of course) when he walks, his eyes are gray and cold, and his smile is so soft that discourses, his-his—oh! I don't know anything except that I have been unconsciously weaving him into every orange-blossom dream where I, in white chiffon velours, have been a central figure! But to-day—my twentyth birthday when I ought to have been so full of newly ripened happiness—it is all different! I can hear them saying it now just as I heard last night, sitting behind that hideous palm; waiting for that underbred man to bring me that vilely "and where is 'madame'?" giggled old Lady Banchester, wagging her "I DON'T FANCY I DID ASK YOU TO BE MY WIFE." grimy-gloved finger into a Napoleonic face. "Oht—er—she is still in Germany — Heidelberg. I thought she'd be out of place in London, so I haven't brought her over again!" replied George, putting that delightful curve into his voice which he chiefly feeds to ladies. "Bad husband. But I shall give you away!" "Oh, don't Lady Barnchester—really, please don't!" and for once he spoke quite earnestly as with another finger-waggle Lady B. passed on—into the supper room, of course! So he is married! There is a "madame," some Ger- man Frau whom he must have met during his six months at the Heidel- berg university, where I know he went after leaving Cambridge! It's terrible to think I have been admitting him into my orange-bloss- som dream—I, who regard flirting with married men as a spinster's final cry of failure! But yet that is what I have been doing! I have been allowing George Dull- more to dance with me, ride with me, walk with me, and talk to me, when all the time there is some Gretchep with two plaits and a black velvet laced bodice, who owns the best he has ever had to give! I am trying to think that I have not encouraged him very much; but as I look down at my birthday presents I know this is not so. Yes, it is no good trying to deceive myself or my birthday diary— I have saved dances for Gretchen's husband before I knew that he was going to ask for them; I have often gone to parties when I would much rather have stayed at home, just because I had told him that I should be there; I have— "But there, let me mury her 'have done,' and erect a monument of future deeds over the grave!

I have promised him the sixth waltz at the Mendleigh house ball, and I will keep my promise; but as we sit out after the dance we won't drift subtle personalities. Nothing shall be a mere nothing shall be subtle any more—only facts (which he must think I have known ever since our first meeting) concerning "madame" in Heidelberg! Perhaps if this had all happened two or three years ago, or in two or three years' time, I should have cried, but now I couldn't do it. I feel too much excited, too anxious for my own vindication, too much wounded in my pride for tears! But yet—how! I could have cared!—how I could have cared! (As usual I’ll finish my diary when the birthday is over and the entry can be complete—"complete!" Will anything ever be complete again? Never! because The Mendleigh house hall is over, my blue chiffon cowl is crushed, the lilies in my hair and on my breast are drooping, the stars are palling, my birthday is past, and—my life has begun! I hardly know how to chronicle it all—but I must! One cannot break faith with a diary that is only written once a year! When we arrived he was there waiting for me at the top of the stairs. His greeting was stimulatingly restrained as usual; and after putting down his name a couple of times on my programme, he bowed and crossed over Erla—who is beginning to look terribly maltown, poor thing! (Such a pity when Nigel is but they are severely happy, so I suppose a dawning double chin doesn't matter!) At last came our waltz, and almost before the music had fully come to life we were reversing down the famous ballroom, while dead and ruffled and doubled Mendleigh glared down at us from the walls. Generally speaking. I don't like a man who dances well, but with him it doesn't seem to matter somehow; he takes the thing so seriously—without speaking a word or observing any conventional courtesies that, to him, waltzing might be an affair of international importance! There is nothing frivolous about his dancing. He starts dancing the music start hardly going through the form of offering his arm, and continues scientifically till the end. It is a desperately attractive method—unique and eminently artistic, even though it mayn't sound so! Directly the waltz was over he took me to a small ante-room—little more than a recess—which is only known to the Mendleigh house intimates; and then, sitting down by my side, waited, as usual, for me to begin to walk. "By the by, before we discuss the—the by the or the music, or attack any other—let me thank you for the sweet rose and the beautiful box," I said, with a brave effort at cheery friendliness. George smiled swiftly (his teeth are perfect), and looked less Napoleonic than I have ever seen him. "Many happy returns of your birthday, Delia," he said, with a passionate tenderness in his voice. It was wonderful to hear him speak like that, and his eyes—oh! could those be the eyes that were so careless and cold as a rule? For half a second I forgot "madame" in Heidelberg, and let my glance meet his own. "Delia," he said, bending over me, and speaking without emphasis, and yet putting more strength into the words than if they had been doubly underlined. "Delia, I love you much more than I ever meant to love any woman. I never intended to love, because I never intended to marry; but good enough was chance in the idea of paying rates, and poetry in the notion of writing checks for rent. And it's you who have taught me, dearle! Delia, will you—will you—" Then suddenly I remembered Gretchen with the two plaits, and perhaps—who knows—there might be a little Hillerich, or a small Lottchen, or something terrible like that! "How dare you be absolutely wicked!" I cried, dashing up from the seat and standing indigently before him. At first he did not speak, but remained sitting down and looking at me in a way that made me feel more of a schoolgirl than I ever felt in my learning days. Then, after a most inconsiderate pause, he rose and faced me. "I had no intention of being wicked, I assure you," he replied in the same voice that he asks elderly ladies if they'll take tea or coffee. "What have I done?" "Good many things that it wouldn't be, v-very reputable to print, I've no doubt; but I should think it's about the worst when you—a m-m-married man—ask me—a girl—to be your wife." For a second he looked contemplative, then answered quietly: "I don't fancy I did ask you to be my wife, and I feel quite certain I am not married—quite sure!" "Then how about 'madame' in Heidelberg, whom you won't bring over again? And how about Lady Banchester calling you a 'bad husband'? "But as 'madame' happens to be my 'cello', which I once took up with such fervor that every one called her 'my wife' (or 'madame'), I can't see how it matters! Lady Banchester can answer for me, because she had both seen, and heard, 'madame', before I took her back to Heidelberg!" "I can hardly remember what happened next. I only known I felt that the world was a sort of environ of Parameet!" "When I—I—beg your pardon—oh! so m-much!." I stammered. "Pray don't apologize! Shall we go back to the ballroom?" (Did he mean it? Yes, his face was grave, and inscrutable! I had lost my happiness! My heart must try to go to sleep again!) "Yes, thanks, I—I—" But I couldn't go on: Something came before my eyes. Perhaps it was a picture of myself in lonely, on-coming gray days; perplexed by his life in glorious content without me? I can't say. I only know that had I been offered all the jewels of the wicked women in London I couldn't have helped burying my face in my suede gloves and crying just as thoroughly and sincerely as I cried when I was a little, little girl. Just for a second he let me cry, and then—No, no, birthday diary, I can't write that! It was so wonderful! My lips thrill now as I remember, and my cheeks still glow and burn. I did not know that love could be so intense, so all-comprising, so all-comprehending and so all-comforting! (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) HER FORGIVENESS. By COSMO HAMILTON From its studiously curious knocker to the bottle-glass windows in its attic, the Harling's little house was characteristic of its mistress. They were both very dainty, very minute, and in excellent taste. I should like you to have seen the house and its mistress on a certain winter evening not so many years ago as to be pleasant to remember, at 11 o'clock in the evening. The fog embraced its outer walls; delicately shaded electric lamps warmed its inner ones. In, the drawing room the fire crackled cheerly on the Dutch hearth. The corners of the room were in deep shadow, except when the fire gent out shoots of light that died as soon as they were born. In a big arm chair, staring into the fire, her little chin in her hands, sat pretty Mrs. Harling, with a slight quiver at the corners of her mouth and nostrils. There was a thin gold chain round her neck, which, going abruptly up to her left hand, held a locket containing the portrait of her husband, the man from whom she had been separated for three months. Yet—not querely, because she was a woman—she was pressing the miniature against her chest. "Dear, dear Jim!" she cried inwardly, "if only he'd come back I'd go out of town forever. I'd pitch away all my swagger frocks, if only he'd come back. I'm so lonely, so lonely." She drew near the fire and caught an infinitesimal dog, and held it with a little cry to her face. "Fancy his packing his things and leaving the house without saying goodbye. Twenty minutes after he left—I say 20, but I mean two—I had forgotten the very words I said, the very exertion of the foolish new frock. And then to stay a while without sending one line on a postcard to the silly little idiot who loves FIDGETED WITH THE BACK OF THE CHAIR, NERVOUSLY. him so much! Oh, how could he, now could he?" Mrs. Harling stopped her confession for a moment and cried. Mrs. Harling blew her nose. "I don't know what you think about it," she said, addressing the infinitesimal quadruped. "But I would give my ears if he would get lonely too, and come back to me. Ears, did I say? Yes, and my diamonds and my horses, and my friends, and a year—or nearly a year of my life. I would, I would, I would." Mrs. Harling sprang suddenly to her feet. "What's that? . . . Heavens, what a state my nerves are in! If I didn't know that Jim never means to come back, I should swear that I hear his great step in the street, his latch key in the door . . ." Her breathing came quickly, her hands futtered to her lips, a light danced in her eyes. "More than that. That sharp click is the noise his stick always makes when he pokes it into the Chinese stand he hates so. . . How childish. How absurd. My heart's pumping like a steam engine. . . It's imagination. I'm overwrought. It isn't Jim. It can't be Jim. . . Yet it seems to me that his funny, impatient step is on the stairs, his hand on the handle. . . " The copper handle of the door was turned. With her hands over her mouth, Mrs. Harling ran behind a high settee that was standing in the shadow of the room. During the pause that followed, a week, a month, three months, were lived by the little woman crouched behind the settee. The French clock's little voice cried the half hour. Col. Harling blinked when he reached the circle of light and stood for a moment, overcoated to the tips of his gray musket, leaning on the back of a chair. He heaved a sigh when he found the room was empty, and slowly took his coat. "Well," thought he. "What a fool I was to come back. She's out somewhere with some one she likes better—some one who doesn't bore her as I do." He stood for a few moments looking round the room. Suddenly, with a quick gesture, he caught up his coat and strode to the door. Mrs. Harling made a dash at the door nearest to her, rattled the handle and turned quickly back into the room, with a little cough. It was very well done. "Oh!" she said, pulling up short, and looking at her husband as though he would defend stranger. I—I. Obviously delighted and extremely uncomfortable, "Good evening," Harling stammered. "I beg your pardon for disturbing you—" "Not at all." Harling darted a look at his wife, caught her eye and immediately began a minute examination of the carpet. "What in the name of goodness am I to say," he thought. He started a sentence, hap-hazard, and let it take its course. "I left my favorite copy of the book," he said. "Mrs. Harling said, "unbelieved!" knowing well that he had never possessed any kind of a copy of Pendents. The door slowly opened. "It's a matter of some-importance to put my hand on it as soon as possible. Nothing else would have excused my breaking into your house without giving you warning." "After al," said Mrs. Harling, in a shiny yellow voice, "it's as much your house as my wife." "It's very kind of you to say so," said Harling, simply. "With your permission I just—er—" "Pray do." With a look of intense affection, in which there was more than a dasa of amusement, Mrs. Harling watched her six-foot husband search with well simulated eagerness for something they both knew had never been in the house. "You are quite well, I hope," he said, peering into a rose-bowl. "Quite well, thank you. And you?" "Never better, thanks. A slight touch of my old friend the gouge two days ago. And last night I woke with it in my knee." "I'm sorry." "But I'm extremely well otherwise. The only other things I have to complain about are, complete spleenness, excruciating neuralgia and constant lumbago. Perhaps I didn't leave this book here, after all." "Perhaps not." Mrs. Harling turned a laugh into a little cough. "So perhaps I'd better not keep you." "Oh, you may as well find it now you're here," she said, quickly, wishing fervently that she could lock the door. "You're sure I'm not disturbing you." "You won't disturb me in the least." Harling found his wife looking carelessly into the fire. "Of course I ought to have sent a messenger, but the fact is I wanted the book in a hurry. I never like to be long without my Penecennis." "I didn't think you ever read." "I'm a voracious reader, now." "You never used to read." The little woman noted the "now" with intense satisfaction. "No, but during the last three months I've read everything there is to read—except Pendennis, and I've always heard that book well spoken of." Mrs. Harling was quite unable to resist the temptation. "But if you've never read it, why do you never like to be long without it." Harling fell back on his mustache, which he pulled vigorously. "Well, you see, the cover's bright. I like bright covers when I'm feeling dull. They add a touch of color to the surroundings. Oh, here it is. 'Adam Bede.' To be sure. I knew it was one or the other. 'Adam Bede' also reminds me of Pendennis. I suppose because it isn't begin with a P." He hung himself. "But that's got a black cover." "So it has. Well, I daresay it will remind me not to feel too cheerful. Thanks. Good-by." "Good-by." Harling didn't move. Mrs. Harling was certain that he wouldn't. "You never used to feel too cheerful," she added, "two months ago." "I hardly remember anything so long back as two months ago." There was a pause. Harling could think of nothing else to say. He longed to catch the little woman in his arms and hold her tight. He went two steps nearer. "If you should have any message for me the club will always find me. White's." "Thank you, I will try and remember." He fidgeted with the back of the chair, nervously. Then he laughed and tried to speak lightly. His voice was loaded with weights. "It's pretty cheerful at the club just about now, I can tell you. Everybody's gone away and so the waiters and I have the place to ourselves. Very—pleasant—that." "Do you like being a one with the waiters?" "Yes, thanks. They're quiet, respectable men. Old soldiers, many of 'em. Some of 'em served under me. They remind me of the happiest time of my life." "The time before you married me, you mean?" "I'm afraid I wasn't a marrying man. I'd been a bachelor before, you know. A man like that forms selfish habits that do not fall in with a woman's views. He gets irritable over little things—grumbles at the food and finds fault with the servants." "You never did." "It's very nice of you to say so. Well, good-by!" "Good-by!" This time, this unpsychological man actually went to the door, and this time this psychological woman beheld that he was going. She made a step to follow him. He turned. "You've not altered anything here, I see. It looks just the same dear little home." "Does it?" Mrs. Harling's voice was very soft. She had paid him out for an offence he had not committed and was satisfied. Mrs. Harling was nothing it not a woman. Harlong forget to be nervous. "By Jove," he said, with a queer kind of laugh. "You still keep yesterday's papers lying about, and the cups I took at Eton. And, by George! what's this? I put that bunch of violets in this vase the day I went away. They are all dried up and yellow. Surely, they—they—whye—they that neck scar I put here, and—and the pair of gloves I bought the day the night I—the night you—" His voice crumbled in the most ridiculous manner. "Why, so they are!" cried Mrs. Hallow, hysterically. "The—the s-silly things." "Oh, Milly!" he continued. "I've been so dashed miserable all this time away from you. You can't manage to give a man another trial, can you?" Mrs. Hallow fung herself into his arms, laughing like a child and crying like a woman. "Oh, Jim!" she cried. "It's I who want another trial!" Harling held her tight and put his face down upon her shoulder. "Copyright, 1996, by Joseph B. Bowles."

England was represented in Switzerland last year by 53 commercial travelers; Germany, which enjoys the lion's share of the Swiss import trade, employs an army of nearly 5,000 "drummer," and is followed by France, with 1,586 of these enterprise-bearers, who annually sell there $40,000,000 worth of French merchandise.

Here is one explanation: Gen. Trepoff went to the theater one night when a cinematograph supplied part of the entertainment. Revolutionists had tampered with the film, however, and the instrument ground out moving pictures which led up dramatically from a meeting of conspirators to the murder of Gen. Trepoff himself after the taking off of the late M. von Phihr, whose thing was so realistically done that Trepoff was terrified and at once resigned.

COMMERCIAL CULLINGS The quantity of frozen meat exported from Argentina last year was 3,325,124 carcasses of sheep and lams, and 1,922,757 quarters of beef. The mineral production of France consists of lead, zinc, copper, coal and lignite, iron, antimony, arsenic and salt. An immense quantity of building stone and slate is quarried. The cement and phosphate production is large, aggregating sums far up in the millions of dollars. Coal is the chief mineral product. In the year 1880 Germany sent about 61,070 tons to the United States. Japan sent $1,190,000. In 1904-5 Germany sent about $4,985,000 of silk goods to the United States, while Japan sent $5,930,000 worth. Japanese exports of silk goods have tripled in ten years, increasing from $747,400 in 1895 to $22,410,000 in 1904-5, and the ascending movement continues. Glass Bonbon.

By Phillip Merrill Mighels Hubbard, standing at the opening of his mine, saw a miniature whirlwind whisk a hat from the sage brush below on the hill. Immediately thereafter a young woman arose from a building, chase after her property. Laughing aloud, the miner ran down the hill and caught the hat. "Well, I swear, I didn't know you were anywheres about, Georgie," he panted; "but I seen the whirlwind steal this, and here I come." "Well, I swear," he head. It was wavy hair, brown where it started from the scalp, but golden for its greater length. "Where was you?" she answered. "I didn't see nobody." "I was up to the claim," said he. "Was you resting in the brush?" "I was trying to be alone." "tuh!" said he, "and I was yearning to see your pretty face." She tossed her head impatiently. "You don't stand there till you take a knee and grow!" she snapped. "I've got to get back to camp before it's night." They started westward in the brush, she with feverish haste. They saw a swarthy man approaching. He spat away a cigarette, and showed his contempt as he gazed on the work-dust form of the girl's companion. "Well, George," he slowly drawled, "haven't you shook him yet? I should think he'd know that he's a rank sucker. Ain't he dropped to your work?" The mister's face was crimson as he confronted the sneering newcomer, "Look here, Charlie Dow, my fine gambler," said he, in a growl, "you're making undecent remarks about a lady which has promised to be my wife, see you've got your gun on, but I already will not on the dump, if you're a man, for I am going to give you a thumping. "Chop off, will you!" said the gambler, "You aren't worth fighting. You're a squeezed lemon. Do you want to know where your last little bar of bullwant, which you gave to me, and that he had flashed." He had hardly flashed the small billet of metal before the miner leaped upon him. The gambler jumped and attempted to draw his revolver; but the hand of Hubbard was there ahead, and flung it away. The girl, up to this, had merely stood there, admiring the gambler. Now he was darting alertly about the struggling man, countenance Intense with concern. Then, like a bolt from the clearest sky, the butt of the gambler's pistol HE FELT HIMSELF DIZZY, INTOXI CATED. suddenly descended on the back of Hubbard's head. The girl had dealt him a powerful blow. he dropped on his face. The gambler fell only to his hands and was quickly on his feet. He darted at once to the prostrate form. "No, no!" cried the girl, shuddering. "Hurry up—git away!" She grasped Dow's hand in her own and dragged to get him off the dump. In the twilight the two hastened together over the trail to Thompson's Bar. When Hubbard opened his eyes, the moon was shining coldly on the hills. The air was keen with frost. He arose stiffly and rubbed at a swollen spot on his head. He staggered as he dusted his hat and tried to think. Then he made his vay down the slope to a cabin at the edge of Bullion Hill Camp. The chinks of the cabin appeared to let in all the chill of the wind, except on the northern side, where the snow had plastered all the logs with a six-inch coating of ice. Now and again on the puffs of wind came a mooring sound, fraught with suffering. Hubbard, taking a lantern, fought his way through the storm to a shed a hundred yards to the west. A bellow louder than any before came on the wind. His light was reflected from four bright lights; two the wild eyes of a trembling owl, and towed more the new optics of a tiny flop-tower calf. The mother creature lay upon the ground, bellowing eagerly, a pencil of snow across her bac₄ᴷ flung from a gaping chink in the boarding. Hubbard hung the lantern on a nail. Then he emptied a number of ore sacks to blanket the freezing creatures. He lifted the calf near the mother's nose, and otherwise labored for the lives and comfort of both. He was back and forth from the cabin to the shed a dozen times; he poured hot drinks down the cow's throat all night. Hubbard took the morning she died. Hubbard took the arms, covered it closely with the sackies, stumbled with it to the cabin. He placed it down before the fire and made ready for bed. The miners came out of their bunks and stood with arms akimbo about the tiny animal, earnestly regarding its blinking eyes. One announced that they had named the calf the "Bully Bear." "That's all right," said Hubbard; "only he's a girl, and an orphan besides, for his mother has kicked the bucket." The days that followed brought a storm of snow that is now famous in the annals of the Pacific slope. Roads were lost in the drifts, trains were blockaded in the mountains, towns were isolated completely from the world without. The stage to Bullion Hill failed even to start for more than two weeks. The miners in the cabin hoarded milk for the little calf with jealous care, and the buller Boy was on the fourth day. The Buller Boy was hungry, and growing thinner on the diet. Day by day Hubbard went down the hill for news of the stage. When the milk was gone he bought the only paper of oats in camp. With this he fashioned a porridge. It proved a poor expedient and was soon gone. The four men watched their Bully Boy in silence and despair. They had learned to regard it with an incredible affection. The red little body was with the miners and gullied hollows, the legs, on. On the seventh day, with fingers in the tiny creature's mouth, Hubbard carried it down to the store. The miners placed stroking hands upon the silken coat of the only creature ever born in Bullion Hill with a sort of awe. "Poor little Bully Boy!" was all they sau. That night, or, rather, at two o'clock in the morning, the Bully boy, who had herofore maintained a patient silence, gave voice to a solitary bleat. It was: a child a child's helpless cry: "Mah-mah." Hubbard dressed and went scuffling through the snow to the shed. In the cold and darkness he sat there for more than two hours, with his fingers in the mouth of the starving little creature. "I'm going to Thompson's Bar," he said to the others in the morning, "for to fetch some milk." It's 20 times over and 20 back," said Skinny. "I don't care if it's a hundred." He put on snowshoes and heavy clothing. Snow was falling when he started. The miners watched him going, and waved their hats as he stood for a second on the ridge of the hill. The afternoon was well commenced at Thompson's Bar when, in answer to his knocking, the door of one of the cabins was opened to Hubbard, and a voice invited him to enter. He went in, to ask for tinned milk, beholding a woman shabby dressed and careless in her appearance. He asked the lagers through her golden hair, and smiled in his face, "Don't you know me, Huby?" she asked, "Am I changed so much as that?" His face was burning hotly, "I reckon I know you, Miss George," he answered in a husky voice, "I don't forget easy." "Oh, I'm glad!" she cried, placing her hand on his arm, "for you always was my friend." He drew away, "I reckon—I've got to do," he hawked, "couldn't you be so quick?" she coaxed, gliding between him and the door. "You ain't a-going to treat me mean?" In her eyes he saw the look that long before had made his heart thump and his brain reel. "I've got to get back to Bullion Hill to night," he repeated doggedly. "Oh, no!" she pleaded, touching his hand caressingly. "You are holding things against me, hub dear, which you had ought. I was terrible fascinated by Charlie Dow—you ought to know I was—and I didn't know what I was doing. You aren't—giving to hold that against a helpless girl? You're tred, Hub dear. Set down, and don't get Bullion Hill to night." In his eyes she was the voice of Bully Boy, yet he was thrilled by the woman. She seemed more than ever warm and delicious to the cold man whose senses were clouded. He knew himself by a summoning of all his will. "Where is he at?" he inquired. "Who?" she said, "Charlie?—I don't know. He's went, and left me—went with Spanish Man. I didn't know what I was doing. It was you I loving all the time." She looked in his face with eyes that blazed and dilated magnetically. He was weakly disengaging himself from her clinging arms. "I've got to be starting," he repeated, with less determination. "Let me go." "Oh, darling Hub!" she pleaded, while the tears willed up in her eyes, "you won't go and leave your little Georgette here—even if only for the old love? Wasn't we once happy, dearest? Wasn't we lovers? She added in a whisper. "If you'll stay, I'll make you happier than any man in the world, and nothing shall ever come between you and I again." Her breath was hot against his cheek. She had drawn him slowly to chuckle and now her arms crept about his neck, knelt at his side, his lips held draping up to his own. He felt himself dizzy, intoxicated. Her eyes were holding his gaze with an irresistible power, the passion of his nature was stealing over his brain. Suddenly his look was concentrated on a locket on her breast. It was open, and in it he saw—the face of Charlie Dow. From time to time, after dark, the miners went out to listen for Hubbard. Five o'clock and six came and passed without a sign or a sound. Suddenly, out of the stillness of the snow came a muffled cry. "Ah, ah, ah!" They stared oddly. From the drifts on the hill came an answer. They rushed from the cabin and ran to the shed. "Hey—little Bully Boy!" "Here you are, little Bully Boy," they heard in the hub in a crooning voice. "Here's your old Hub—here's your fingers." By the light of the lantern they saw Hubbard lying flat in the shed, beside the calf, his fingers in the mouth of the thin little creature. Scattered from his arm were many tins of milk, cold and frosted. "Well, Hub," said a miner, "I reckon you've saved his life." you've saved his life" "That's where you're off," said Hubbard thoughtfully. "It was Bully Boy that saved me."

In England and Scotland when you dine they wheel a joint of beet around to your side of the table—the same with the mutton and fowl—and you are invited to tell the carver what you like best. You have a choice and your choice is respected. Sherlock Holmes has announced his intention of abandoning detective work. "My dear Mr. Holmes," said Dr. Watson, "you don't mean it!" "Guite so, my dear doctor," he said. "Those Philadelphia detectives have made me look like a bungling amateur." Shooting another charge of dope into his arm, he assumed a William Gillette pose and stared moodly into the fire. farmyard of hogs and bob veal calves the local news sharps immediately proceeded to idealize the boy, and next day they were talking wildly of the "Baby Bear Killer of the Adirondacks." The black bears up in that wild region, as years ago described by Mr. Verplanck Colvin before he became a tough customer. Adirondack survey, are tough customers. Their bones are all skin and muscle. Their bones are away in so much fat that nothing worries them but hunger and well-aimed rifles. Hunters say that once a bear was killed in the mountains up there RING MILK IN In America, both on Staten Island and in New Jersey, and incidentally in New York, and all over the mighty West, they "chuck" food at you, and whether it is canned, corned or jerked beef, you have to take what the waiter condescends to give you. Then the milk—well, the less said about it the better, whether canned or skimmed milk touched up with cream. Down in Mexico they follow the European custom of insuring pure milk to customers. In Italy the dairyman drives a cow from door to door, to be milked in the presence of some one of the household. In Hungary every fam ATING POSTC "Yes," said Mrs. Uppisch, boastfully, "We pay cash for everything we buy there." "Yes?" replied Mrs. Knox.

MEXICO. lily has his own cow, sometimes half a field, and went to the suburban fields around the town. In Mexico the poorer the man is the better the cow, and the more there is of her. To explain it would require time, but the milk, like the fact, speaks for itself. The animal is tied to the telegraph pole in front of the mansion, and the process of milking is watched from the plaza. Every child is expected to pull a handful of grass from the field, and feed the cow. Thus a bevy of orchard children save hirping a farm hand and the cow waxes fat. You see the sailor on the deck of one of the big liners bound for a Mediterranean port. What is the man doing? He is putting a mast on the little floating postoffice that he is going to set adrift on the bosom of the rolling sea. Here is the explanation. The inhabitants of the Azores and other islands in the Atlantic are anxious to get the mail and to have their letters taken on board the ships and sent to their destinations in various parts of the world. If is said that only one line of steamers makes a halt at these islands for any length of time, most of the others take the mail. When a ship wishes to oblige passengers having postal cards and letters to send a seaman rig up a water cask, deposits the mail therein and seals it hermetically. A weight suspended from the bottom of the cask keeps it upright when thrown into the water. A little mast about as tall as a ten-foot man is fastened to the side of the cask, with a flag flying from the mast head. My passing ship seeing the little flag knows what it means, hauls it on board, takes out the letters and towards them to their destination. "So these are your diamond curiosities." asked the lady in the jewelry store. "I don't see anything startling about this one." "No," replied the clerk, picking up the jewel, "that's so; the pricemark has dropped off." He Thought So. "Tommy, you've taken the largest bunch of grapes in the basket. Do you think that's nice?"

Latest Modes in Summer Millinery I BY MARGARET E. SANGETER. A home without books is like a rose without perfume. No house is completely furnished that has no library. There are to be sure, homes without number in which there are chairs and tables, china and glass, rugs and draperies, soft couches, curtains and bric-a-brac, pictures and vases, but never a book. If you happen to call in such a house, and the mistress keeps you waiting while she changes her toilette, you look in vain for a book to pass away the moments of inaction. If you staying in such a house and have not brought with you something to read, you look in vain for an entertaining volume or an attractive magazine. People who do not spend money for books are apt to be pardonable in subscribing for magazines. A taste for literature demands gratification. Where the taste does not exist people are satisfied, strange as it may seem, to endure a state of absolute pauperism in the matter of reading. We all know houses where there are books enough to form the simulacrum of a library, but when there are examined they are discovered to be a fearful and wonderful collection of misfits, old school books, books that have been received by the children as prizes, books that have been picked up by the traveler to cheer the tedium of a railway journey, books that have been sent into the house as holiday presents, and books that have been borrowed and never returned. Odd volumes of this and the other author of repute appear in these weird and queerly assorted conglomerations. But complete sets and of books that have amuse and satisfy, there are few to be seen. Such miscalled libraries are only fit to be used as kindling and would find the best end in a rubish heap or a bonfire. The second-hand shops would have none of them. Even where people intelligently book books, there is occasion from time to time for judicious weeding and for letting go that which is ephemeral, and, for all practical purposes, worthless. Although public libraries are multiplied, every home should have its own library, just as it has its own beds and tables. It is not necessary to appropriate a room and use it solely for books. Very few of us have space to spare for this luxurious accommodation treasures. The living room is the happiest place for the home library; the shelves to hold the books may be of home manufacture, put together by anybody who can manage a plane and a hammer, and they may be stained in harmony with the color scheme of the room. What to choose for the library is the first consideration. A library that grows as a garden grows or an orchard, little by little, is in the end the library that one loves best. I would suggest to be the initial purchase be set the Shimai in good type, with fine illustrations, each volume small enough to be held in the hand without weariness. Although Sir Walter is out of fashion, it is possible to cultivate his acquaintance if one has a set of the Waverley novels in one's possession. Sir Walter Scott is a little leisurely in his movement, so far as the beginnings of his romances are concerned, but once you are fairly embarked in his company, the pace is swift enough for the interest of most readers. Occasionally, in these days, one is so fortunate as to pick up a Flat sailor hats, with broad, rolled brims, low crowns and a conspicuous absence of bandeau, have later appeared. They are made of ecu panama, the brim faced in color, oftenest brown or olive green. A simple velvet ribbon, tied in a long bow on the left side is a favorite trimming. Panama hats for outing are the most chic. They are in pure white, perfectly round, with dented flat crowns. A careless bow of sixlux pink or light biaffea is used on one side, used that which it is most becoming to the wearer to turn down. Evening hats in toque shape are very narrow. The straw or lace of which they are made is draped on a wire frame, shaped like a Scotch cap. Big paradise aigrettes, or one long plume fastened on with a velvet butterfly bow form the trimming. A favorite new way of arranging plumes on big hats is to take a number of tips and fasten them into the center of the crown, which has already been dented in. The tips are arranged No other empire in the world owns so much absolutely useless territory as the British. Banks Land, Prince Albert Land, Victoria and Baffin Land, with hundreds of other arctic islands and lands, are at present quite useless. Helen Keller's Dream Country. I can dream of that happy country of the future, where no man will live at his ease while another suffers; then, indeed, shall the blind see and the deaf hear.—Helen Keller. really fine set of Scott at a second-hand shop or at an auction sale, for a small price, and almost every year there are opportunities to secure his and other standard authors' works in exquisite bindings, at the marked-down sales of the large book shops. However, in forming a home library, it is not worth while to attach too much interest to fine bindings. The book itself is a fine book or, and a good cloth binding satisfies most people. Rich and ornate bindings are for those who can pay for them without missing the money. A full set of Dickens and of Thackeray, a set of Balzac and of Robert Louis Stevenson, should be added to the library which is to be an integral part of the household life. If one cannot purchase a set all at once, buy a single book at a time, setting aside a day for the monthly income required for the purpose. Very often officers are made by publishers in the line of subscription books, and it is difficult to resist the suave urbanity of the agent who sets forth the reasons why one should avail himself of these inducements. But be warned in time. Unless one is very certain of the future, anything bought on the future will probably hang like a mill-stone around the neck in the days to come. Bowell's life of Johnson is a never-falling-source of pleasure to the reader who enjoys biography at its best. A shelf should be set aside for the lives and letters of men and women who have done good service to their periods. Here we would find, were we setting out to form a library, wide room for wise selection. As a rule, choose the lives of those who have done something for their time, and around whom great movements have focussed. The life of William E. Gladstone is in its way a political history of Mr. Gladstone's England. The life of George Washington is the story of the American revolution. The lives of Ulysses S. Grant and of Robert E. Lee in the civil war in the United States in the issues the most tremendous and far-reaching conflict of the nineteenth century. The life of Herbert Spencer is a contribution to the story of modern education and contrasts with antique Jones. The life of Sir Edward Burne-Jones is the story of a wonderful movement in modern art. So we might proceed indefinitely, since biography is the story of the human race represented by its foremost men. A home library will be incomplete without poetry. Do not consider poetry as merely decorative; it is the fit food for the cultured mind. If one does not care for it, he is to be pitted. Among the poets whose works should be added to the shelves are Homer, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Browning, Dowlow, Whittier, Lowell, Kipling and Stephen Phillips. This is a very short list, for the poets are many, but these would make an excellent beginning. Every home library should be furnished with some sacred literature. The Modern Readers' Bible, in little volumes, arranged not in chapters and verses, should belong to the store of books in every household. An alarming ignorance of the Bible is a character of our day. To this cause, more than to any other, may be attributed the prevalence of graff, the increase of corruption in politics and the general lowering of old-fashioned ideas of honor.

During the course of a little sermon on morals at a Sunday school the instructor said: "An excellent way, children, when you are in doubt as to whether a thing is right or wrong is to follow the rule never to do anything which you would be ashamed to have the whole world see." Home from the school rushed one small pupil in high glee. "Mamma," he said, as soon as he found his mother: "I'm never to take any more cold baths in chilly weather. Teacher says it's wrong."

Distrust all who would have invade one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY AUGUST 4. 1906. The Chicago Tribune finds matter for congratulation in the fact that the number of lynchings seems to be on the decrease. It gives the annexed summary: In half a dozen cases or more there would have been lynchings in southern states during the last week but for the governor in suppressing mobs and fouling the point of the bayonet to let the law take its course. The statistics of lynching for the first half of the year, however, are the best evidences of its gradual decadence. During this period there have been but thirty lynchings, all of them in the south, and all of Negroes but four. That is the smaller number, in any six months for twenty years past. It looks as if the south were calling a halt on lynching. It is true that several of the southern governors deserve some credit for checking the prevalence of lynching by the mode of prevention, but the country is in a condition to give grounds to conclude that there is much of calling a halt in the matter. The only satisfactory proof of a real intention to call a halt is the punishment of the murderers as murderers, not turning them loose with a trifling punishment. As yet this has not been done either in the south or north, but to this must it come at last. --- [Picture of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, facing left. The background is a plain black surface.] SENATOR SHELBY M. CULOM. A Man Who Has Known Senator Culom for Years, Who Has Studied Him and Knows Him, Says: "Senator Culom's power lies in his even temper. He never recognizes an enemy. He does not appear to think he has one. He never loses his temper and never scores an opponent. No one knows where he is to strike. He keeps his own counsel. He does not like the limelight and never airs his opinions in the public press. He is absolutely sure before he goes ahead. He will not take the testimony of six men when he can get sixty. He talks very little. He does not mind it and affable with newspaper men, but he does not; tell them his secrets. "Senator Culom is a politician and he plays the game of politics with a master hand. He outgenerates his enemies. He recognizes no faction in the republican party and never antagonizes any of the different elements that go to make up the party. He is a good general, an upright man, a husband and father and is altogether a man whom the whole state of Illinois should feel proud to have in the senate as a representative of all the people." PETER H. HARRIS Virile Junior Senator of Illinois Gives His Views on Disfranchisement of the 'Afro-Americans in the South. Speaking of disfranchisement Senator Hopkins said in an interview: "Under the operation of State constitutions in this country today, a comparatively few persons at the South are intrusted with power equal to that enjoyed by a great number of persons at the North. "Take the State of South Carolina for example, where there are 500,000 white persons and 700,000 Afro-Americans are not allowed to vote, and the result is that the 500,000 whites there exercise in the Federal Government, as much power as do 1,200,000 persons in Illinois. "Now, it is a mere commonplace to state that such a condition is a travesty on representative government. If that order of things continues the time will not be long before the liberties of the people, white as well as black, will be disregarded. Such a government may be administered intelligently but it can never, in any sense, be said to be free. The spirit of unjust disjunction through the warp and woof of it, weaving a political fabric that is oligarchic in scope, and subversive of republican principles and republican institutions. PRINCIPLES THE PARTY STRENGTH. The mistake is frequently made of supposing that it is of no use to organize and maintain a party which has no hope of electing its candidates, has no power to run them ridiculed as side shows, which them ridiculed at nothing all. But such parties have been the means of effecting some of the greatest reforms ever inaugurated in this country. The old abolition party was never very strong numerically, and the political forces of the country and overthrew slavery. The conclusion is that the strength of a political party can not be estimated by the number of its adherents. Among the elements of its strength are the principles it represents, and the political forces it faces. This is shown by the fact that measures which have monopolized the attention of the present Congress are those proposed by the Populists. Bat Masterson, in the New York Telegraph goes for "fake" southerners in a very amusing style: The fake southerner after engaging you in conversation for not above two minutes will give you to understand that he is a southern gentleman-sah, and if he meets with no interruption will not be long in informing you that it other丝品 of gentility are rank counterfeited. He will proceed to tell of the great number of slaves owned by his family before Lincoln got to working on the job, and if everything runs smoothly with him he will, with as fine a show of self-importance as you ever saw, ask you to cash his personal check. Bat says that it is these "fake" southerners who go into hysteries whenever Dixie is played. Fagan, an Afro-American deserter from the 24th inch, is said to be concerned with the following is an account of his doings, according to the dismatches. Having organized a gang of fifty Negroes, Fagan, as their leader, is conducting a series of depredations on natives, stealing more than 100 head of cattle during the past month in the province of Pangasinan. Officers have learned that the original thieves are Filipinos, but they are supported in their efforts by the renegade Negroes, who dispose of the animals. THE APPEAL takes the liberty of following the lead given in the foregoing by the word "suppose" and supposes the whole thing a lie. Our European brether, especially the British are much concerned at the indications that the "fanatical Mahomadans are about to inaugurate a "Holy War." And England do so to resist the holy War. She remembers the *four* forces Hicks Pasih, Sir Samuel White, Lord Wolsely and "Chinese" Gordon were exterminated in the past times and anticipates that a struggle with these "fanatics" would be even more desperate than those of the past. Hatishim "spores of unkind" is getting to be an operation which cost more than it comes to, and seems to indicate that the plundering of feeble nations by "the great powers" is coming to an end, as it certainly ought to. The Washington Post mentions the following instance of the depravity which lurks under a dark cuticle: "And now Japan is resolved to hold what she conquered. She has made a tariff wall around Manchuria that excludes all merchandise but Japan, merchandise, and England, Germany, and England. The United States are squawling about it; but it is little the Japs care for that as long as their goods supply the markets of Manchuria and all rivals are kept out." Caucasian Americans boast that this country's country, and of course not can blame the Japs for thinking that theirs is a brown man's country. It is well. --- The Chicago Record-Herald says: "Whenever feet that say a 'burl' Negro has been seen, you sure to find a little further on that the police 'hustled' him somewhere." Hs R-H is laying unhallowed hands upon the American Ark of the Covenant when it sneers at the usefulness of any one of reasonable common sense that, while it is a matter of no moment for a white man to be burly, for an Afro-American to be the sense is an evidence that he is "fit for the task" and in the South, the proper subject for a lynching bee. No unseemly levity should be associated with the word "burly." Japan is rapidly adopting American customs, as shown by the fact that the Manchurian railway will allow a rebate on a "few" Japanese goods. Of course that move will crowd American products out of the market and deprive the American admiration of the Japanese about fifty per cent. W. H. The Immortal Martyred President. T he Resemblance of Senator Culium to the Great Emancipator is almost Startling. SENATOR CULLOM, WHO STRIK-INGLY REEMBELS THE Martyred President Relates Reminiscences of His Acquaintance with the Grandest Figure in the World's History—the Immortal Lincoln. Shelby M. Cullom stood in the doorway of one of the rooms in the Great Northern hotel which is a part of his headquarters. Tall, angular, erect he stood there, and his likeness to Abraham Lincoln was almost startling. Genocide Cullom has been paragraphed as the "mind who looks like Lincoln" for many years, and there is little wonder. He has the same-large features, the prominent nose, the firm mouth and keen eyes, and even his hair and beard are trimmed not so much in imitation of the martyred president as in the fashion set at that time. Sitting in the bright afternoon light, Shelby M. Culom presented a striking and dignified figure. His hair and beard are white, but his face is ruddy and has the warm hue of health. He seems to bear his years lightly. His face is spare; but not wrinkled. His hands are long and slim and he uses them sparingly in gesticulation. He is eminently a man of the Lincoln. He is ruddy, conservative and of the old school. Written is written in every feature and poem, in every line. His eyes are keen and they read a man's very soul. Senator Cullom is an earnest man and yet he has a sense of humor. He is a serious statesman and yet he loves a good anecdote and a pointed story. And he can tell a story, too, in a manner to make it interesting. He uses and simple language, with homely lilies and quiet similes. He impresses by being sober and natural—a man who has been himself at all times from the time he followed the plow in Tazewell county to this day, when he is one of the most conspicuous men in the upper body of the national legislature. My acquaintance with Lincoln began when I was a lad starting out in life," he said, with a far-away look in his eyes. "It has been said that I look like Lincoln and I count one of the pleasantest compliments of my life that one ABRAHAM The Immortal Martyred President. T the Great Emancipat paid me by a quaint, elderly quakeress who came to my office once upon a time. "As we talked over the matter of which she had come to see me about she interrupted me with: Friend, I was in the office. It was after the interview had closed and she was about to depart that she took my hand and, gazing at me intently, remarked earnestly: "Friend, the very much resembles Mr. Lincoln. Lincoln, he was my ideal when I was only a dozen years of age. He was 30 then. I remember the first time I was ever in a court room. Lincoln was there, defending a man charged with murder. He was considered a great lawyer even then. He was a master of the law. That was my impression that was irresistible and his hold on the public was overpowering." The funeral honors paid to Lincoln have seldom been surpassed in grandeur and perhaps never in popular sorrow. There was some talk of having the body buried in the east, but the people of Illinois would not listen to this and Shelby M. Cullom was a member of the committee sent on to plead the case. The people of Niagara nois, and besides him there is but one other man living who went on that eventful journey. It will be recalled by those who are familiar with the history of those days that the body of the dead president was embalmed and laid in state in the rotunda of the capitol April 20. The following day the funeral train began its wonderful journey to Springfield, and over the same route he had travelled going to Washington. The remains were then going to Albany, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Springfield and solemn services were held in each place. Senator Cullom participated in all these great scenes of sorrow and says that the grief expressed everywhere was something so poignant and so pitiful that he can never forget it so long. Crowds gathered at every crossing and a crowd of uncovered heads as the train passed by. Every city was the scene of vast, solemn gatherings as the funeral train pulled through. The sorrow of the people had never been surpassed in the world and perhaps never will be. It was only by taking the body of the beloved president on this last journey that the people could give vent to their grief and sorrow and the patriotism of the people was stirred as it never had been before. Going home again, the sorrowing men and women determined to stand by the nation at all hazards. His reminiscences of Lincoln. Senator John Kincoln in all the walks of his life. I knew him as a young lawyer making his name here in Illinois. I knew him as a private citizen and as a lawyer. I knew him as a candidate and as a leader him in his home and in the bosom of his family. And now, after all these years and after having met many men and having studied the lives of the greatest men the world has produced, I am inclined to think his the noblest and the greatest figure of all time, the grandest measure of a man on the globe." CURRENT CULLOM COMMENTS Senator Cullom will continue to do business at the old stand. Senator Cullom was speaker of the first Republican legislature in Illinois in 1861. Senator Cullom has been a 'Republican almost from the very beginning of the party. Senator Cullom resembles Abraham Lincoln in rugged honesty as well as in personal appearance. In 1862, Shelby M. Cullom was appointed by President Lincoln, commissioner of army accounts. Senator Cullom personally secured the appointment of a number of colored officers in the Spanish-American war. In the early 70s J. J. Byrd, a colored man, was appointed trustee of the state university by then Governor Cullom. Senator Cullom was the friend of the Afro-American in the dark days before the war and he is the friend of the race now. Senator Cullom supported the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the reconstruction lefglature. LINCOLN. the Resemblance of Senator Culliom to or is almost Startling. Senator Cullom is a man of common sense, good judgment and absolute integrity; his character was formed before graft became popular. Senator Cullom is a man of the people and the people will see that he is reelected Senator so that they may continue to have a voice in the affairs of the nation. Senator Cullom came up from the common people just as Abraham Lincoln did. He was a poor farmer's son and made his way up in the world by his own exertions. There is nothing experimental about the statesman we ask the people to reevaluate. Cullom has been tried for many years, and he always stood by the people of Illinois. The early life of Senator Cullom was spent on his father's farm and there he acquired the strong body which has enabled him to give, so much labor to the public service. Senator Cullom knew Abraham Lincoln before he became a national character and it was his privilege to sit at the feet of the Great Emancipator and drink inspiration from that noble soul. One reason that Shelby M. Cullom has so many friends is that he is honest in his dealings with his fellowman. In his long political career he has never made a promise he has not fulfilled. The fact that Senator Cullom is now a poor man is the best proof in the world that he is an honest man. He has had many opportunities for grafting, but he has remained poor and honest. One reason that Shelby M. Cullom has so many friends is that he is honest in his dealings with his fellowman. In his long political career, he has never made a promise he has not fulfilled. In the days before the war Shelby M. Cullom was one of the foremost practitioners at the Springfield bar and many of the great lawyers of that day were pitted against him but he made a great record.

The passport of Matt Jensen to popu lar favor lies in the splendid record he has made in every public station to which he has been called. [Portrait of a man in a suit with a bow tie, set against a decorative border with geometric patterns.] He is now seeking the important office of Clerk of Courts, for which he is singularly well qualified, and the people recognizing the past services has rendered a public servant will be asked as to the future conduct of this office. While a young man he was appointed a deputy in the office of the State Treasurer and was serving in that capacity when he was elected by the Common Council of this City to the office. The council at this time was Democratic but party lines were waived in the desire to secure the best man for the office. Mr. Jensen served as City Clerk under both Democratic and republican rule and so faithfully discharged his trust as to earn the appraisal, respect and good will of the members of the council and the natrons of the office. At the inception of the good roads movement Mr. Jensen, recognizing the importance to the City and County of permanent thoroughfares joined hands with the promoters and worked occasionally in this behalf. Largely as a result of this direction and his fine office work he was elected County Commissioner, receiving one of the largest votes of any man on the republican ticket. During the two years of his service on the County Board he has always championed good roads, good laws and good schools. His individual efforts have been responsible for the laying of some ten miles of permanent roadway, an improvement which must rebound to the benefit of both City and County. He has also expended the expense of the public moneys and kept an eye single to the side of right. ST. PAUL One of the prettiest weddings imaginable was that of Mr. Robert L.

The Second Annual session of the Afro-American Women's Federation of Minnesota was called together Wednesday morning July 25th at 10:30 a.m. by mrs. Ione E. Gibbs of Minneapolis, State President. After the devotional services conducted by the Chapman Mrs. Emma Jeffery, also of Minneapolis, informal greetings were extended by several Duluth ladies, the responses being given by the visiting ladies of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The roll was then called which showed fifty-four delegates present, all seeming full of interest and enthusiasm. The minutes were then read of the Annual and Anniversary meetings, and the Appointments of Committees by the President, after which the meeting adjourned for dinner. Music, followed by reading of the minutes. Paper "Afro-American ladies of the G. A. R." by Mrs. Irene Wynne, St. Paul, which was very instructive and informed us of many things we did not know concerning that organization. The Report of Clubs was next taken up which showed a marked advancement from every point of view since the last Convention, and, of course, was encouraging to those who tested. The Report of Offices was then taken up and each one felt that she had done her duty to the best of her ability. Instrumental Solo, Mrs. Eva Solomon St. Paul. The paper entitled "the Club and its influence in the Home" was very ably read by Mrs. Jesse Williams of Duluth which held the audience spell bound during its entire reading.

Saturday morning the Delegates were given a delightful Tally-Ho drive over the Boulevard, Compliments of Mrs. Dawson. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Lydia B. Gross of Superior entertained at a Banquet at Hotel Superior in honor of the visiting delegates. Carriage and Tally-Ho drives were an every day occasion until the last visitor left Dublin, thus proving the Zenith of the city. The credit is due Mrs. Mayma Merry, Pres. of the City Federation and their members for the success of this convention, who with the assistance of others made an everlasting impression on the people of the Twin Cities, no pains were spared to make every one welcomed. Every one came away happy feeling that, had they been absent from this convention they would have missed a very rare treat, and those who did not attend have much to regret. The next Convention will be held in St. Paul July 1907. One of the main features of the convention that attracted considerable attention was the exhibit of Arts and Crafts which was displayed at the rear of the church, where very excellent work in embroidery, and lace work, raffla weaving and cooking was shown.

Race Designation. There would be no confusion about the proper race designation of the people of African origin in the United States if the rule governing in the case of others similarly situated had been applied to them. No such confusion exists in the case of any other of the racial elements that constitute our citizenship. Despite the arbitrary classification of all Europeans as racially homogeneous, there is as much dissimilarity in their race traits and tendencies as there is in those of the people of Africa, who are divided for the most part, into tribes instead of nationalities, as in the case of the European peoples. Europeans who have become Americanized are known and proud to be known, however remote the relation in time, as in origin British, French, German and the like. Ask a Continental where he came from, and he will answer, unhesitating Europe; ask him further from what country in Europe, and he will name the country of his birth. Ask an African newly arrived in the United States where he came from and he will unhesitating answer Africa, and he will name its of its geographical subdivisions; if you are still unsatisfied and want to know what race he belongs to, he will tell you to one of the tribal subdivisions, as he has and knows no political subdivisions—a Vey, a Zulu, a Dahomey race. In short he will tell you that he is an African from this or that tribe. It is the same way with the European, the Asiatic and the American as with the African. They all have a geographical and a political relation to the country of their origin, and outside of their country they are referred to by their geographical rather than their political relation. This rule is universally applied to the inhabitants of all the continents except that of Africa. My contention is that it should also apply to them, when they are racially classified, because there is no reason I have advanced why they should not be. It is by this process of reasoning that I have come to adopt the term "Afro-American" as the only proper race designation of the people of African origin in the United States. The term has found an abiding place in all of the dictionaries and much of the later literature of the United States. Time, habit and blood mixture have produced a new race in this country, approximating much nearer the American than the African type. We do not need any additional infusion of white blood, although we are getting plenty of it; we need only to intermary the mixed and pure bloods of the race, as we are doing, ultimately to mix the blood of all the people of African origin on the continent. To-day we have Afro-American black and colored people; the time is coming when they have only Afro-American colored and white people; and these ultimately will disappear into the American people, whose race is in process of formation. This is in inevitable, as we have no reinforcement of pure blood from Africa, and are ceaselessly mixing blood with all the white races here with whom we live and a part of whom we are. It is of the highest importance that we get ourselves straightened out on this question of "Who Are We?" Until we get this race designation properly fixed in the language and literature of the country we shall be kicked and cuffed and sneered at as a common noun, sufficiently and contemptuously characterized by the vulger term "Negro." The term "Negro" adopted from the Latin, has been used from primitive times, to describe the black people of Africa as they are or have been; and, so used, it has been treated, and quite properly, as a common noun. It is impossible to get the writers in America, Europe or Asia to treat it as a proper noun. They never will do it, because it is not a term definitive of race affinities and unities, but of physical peculiarities of race, of which color is the visible and invariable index. The term "Negro" has not even a respectable tribe in Africa to dignify it. The tribe so designated is reputed to be one of the most discredited of all the African tribes. An American recently returned from Abyssinia told me that if a person should call an Abyssinian a Negro he would fell him in his tracks. He would take it as a term of reproach—as an insult—T. Thomas Fortune in New York Tribune. Customers Do Not Kick. A mule by any other name would kick just as hard as "Maud" does. The same fabric with any other name would wear just as long as Saxony-Cheviot. But you know and we know that when you buy Saxony-Cheviot that it will wear until the proverbial cows come home—that it will never sinne—that it will retain its "press" longer than ordinary fabric—that it is just about the most dressy fabric that could be put into a $30 suit. That's the price we ask for a made-for-you suit of it. Lidteen & Co., Tallors, 104 E. 7th St. THE NAGEL UNDERTAKING CO. Wm. E. Nagel Manager. 208 West Third street. Telephone. Main 1504.

The patient is supined in frame, the blankets placed on his shoulders downward in the electrical blanket and reclines upon the table while the current suitably controlled by the proper actuation of the switches of the switchboard is applied at the feet. Thus an even current is distributed over the entire surface of the body and increased by displacement of the operator, producing a mild or energetic process of sweating. The action of the inner or first blanket is to absorb this sweat, and render the patient perfectly comfortable while undergoing treatment, when the current turned off, the patient is removed from the blankets, given a bath and backy, rubbed with a coarse towel, producing a vigorous circulation and the treatment is concluded by the external application of certain medicines over the affected portions of the body.
