Both Sun and Moon Will Be Obscured in June. Washington, June 2nd.—two interesting spectacles in the astronomical world will occur dur ing the moon. These events will be eclipses of the moon and sun the former on June 3 and the latter on June 17. The totality will last about an hour while the sun will only be in totality near the north pole. Of chief interest will be the lunar eclipse over about half the earth. EWART MARKET PROPRIETOR Pork, Lamb, Veal, Chick- also Fresh Home Grown our Lunch.

It was crudely written and most of the situations were utterly impossible. Produced in the form in which it came from its creator's pen it could have been only a dismal failure. The manager was not for a moment tempted to produce the play he had received, but he saw possibilities in the author's plot. He sent for him and pointed out a few of the more glaring defects and suggested that the manuscript be turned over to a professional dramatist. turned over to a This was done, and the original manuscript, was pro amateur playwright applied ing, and is to-day the author now just how hopeless that form, and appreciates the pay discerned the dramatic nugge The search for embryo a gent and practicable method.

I lieve that creators of such dis section of America which has ciation for plays that are rea This was done, and the rewritten play, only faintly suggesting the original manuscript, was produced and immediately achieved success. The amateur playwright applied himself to a close study of practical playwriting, and is to-day the author of numerous successful dramas. He realizes now just how hopeless that first play must have appeared in the original form, and appreciates the patience and good judgment of the manager who discerned the dramatic nugget buried in a desert of dreary dialogue. The search for embryo dramatists, is, in my opinion, the most intelligent and practicable method of unearthing latent talent ever suggested. In response to such an appeal for new ideas there are sure to be valuable returns, since the writing of a scenario is no great task even to the utterly inexperienced. And the great cry of the modern stage is for new ideas. Whoever comes forward with the germ of a good plot will find producing managers ready and eager to provide the means of having that plot developed into a play. Chicago in particular and the middle west in general are more interested in serious drama than any other section of the United States. Combined with this widespread interest is an alert intelligence which responds in a most gratifying manner to plays that appeal to the intellect and not merely to the senses. It is the hope of every one seriously interested in the American stage that the vogue of frivolous and indecent entertainments flourishing in many New York theaters will be extremely short lived. And in the inevitable reaction from such unwholesome fare there will be a great demand for clean, virile, intelligent American plays. Is it not reasonable to believe that creators of such drama will be found in the section of America which has shown the keenest appreciation for plays that are really worth while?

The bet was always made in the morning, when the sky was always cloudless. The tenderfoot invariably lost, because it always rained later in the day. In those parts anybody could tell absolutely what the weather would be without a weather bureau. In New England, with a weather bureau, no one can tell approximately what the weather will be. It is between these two extremes of easy and hard guesses that you must figure out the value of the weather bureau's performances in guessing. If the bureau gains 35 per cent. over the natural 50 per cent. of the law of chance, what should be its credit, 85 or 35 per cent.? Modern Girl Must Have Daring By A. M.

A rainy-day prediction is considered verified and 100 per cent. is allowed the forecaster if the day is entirely fair save for a slight mist or a sprinkle of a few drops of rain. Can you beat that? Furthermore, if "fair" is predicted for any territory and the day is rainy, but the rainfall measures less than .02 of an inch, the forecast of "fair" is considered verified at the bureau.

STRIKEBREAKERS DESERT CABS Philadelphia, Pa.—The attempt of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company to run its cars with strikebreakers resulted last night in a number of serious riots. It was the first effort to operate the lines at night since the strike, on May 29, and after several futile efforts to get the cars through the mobs, they were sent back to the barn. In the Kensington district, where many mills are located, the feeling ran high. Mobs of men, women and children pulled the motormen and conductors from their cars and beat them severely. In many instances cars were set on fire, and in other cases thrown across the tracks. The police were powerless to control the angry strike sympathizers. In West Philadelphia dynamite caps were placed on the tracks, and crowds stoned the strikebreakers when they attempted to bring out cars, forcing them to return to the barn. In the downtown section conductors and motormen were pulled from their cars, and their clothes torn from their backs by mobs of strike sympathizers. In Kensington there were five big riots and all evening Kensington avenue, the main thoroughfare of the district, was filled with a howling mob. "Strikebreakers" Disappoint So far as can be learned, the striking street car men, themselves, did not take part in the rioting. They were kept confined by their leaders in their various meeting places. The imported strikebreakers proved to be a disappointment to the company. Many of them deserted their cars at the first sign of trouble, and left them standing in the street at the mercy of the mob. Several of them applied to the strikers for aid to return to New York, saying that they had been brought here under misrepresentation. During the Kensington riots, Policeman Levy was shot in the head and is said to be dying. In the same section one block of five cars were piled in the street after being partially demolished with paving stones, and were then set on fire. At least one hundred persons have been more or less seriously injured. Political Features Involved. The Central Labor union has decided to take advantage of the political features involved in the strike and at a meeting of its conference committee last night decided to issue a call upon all its members and sympathizers to celebrate next Saturday, which is primary election day here, as White Ribbon day. The white ribbon is the emblem chosen by the striking car men. Their sympathizers were asked by the striking car men to wear this emblem on election day and to vote for D. Clarence Gibbony for district attorney and President Murphy of the union for city treasurer, in opposition to the slated Republican nominees. An attorney for the strikers yesterday caused warrants to be issued for the arrest of two policemen who are alleged to have struck one of the strikers without sufficient provocation. Writs of habeas corpus have also been issued for the release of strikers who have been committed to prison. GOVERNMENT WINS A POINT. Editors Who Criticised Purchase of the Panama Canal Protest Against Continuance, But Are Overruled. Indianapolis, Ind.—The government won a point yesterday in its prosecution of Charles R. Williams, and De laven Smith, owners of the Indianapolis News, indicted by a grand jury; in the District of Columbia on the charge of criminal libel, in publishing intimations that there was an enormous "graft" in the purchase of the Pana canal by the United States. This was the second day of the hearing before Judge Anderson in the United States court of this district on the government's application for an order removing the defendants to the District of Columbia for trial. At the request of the United States attorneys, Stuart McNamara of the department of justice at Washington, and Charles W. Miller of this ditsrict Judge Anderson continued the case until October 11 next, Kansas Needs 17,000 Hands. Topeka, Kan.—The farmers of Kansas are crying for 17,000 hands to help them harvest their wheat crop this year. Charles Harris, free employment bureau, has received reports from all his local agents in the stave, and they show that the above number of men are needed. "It wouldn't surprise me of this number is increased to a couple of thousand," said Harris. "The recent rains continue to bring the wheat crop out of the kinks." The KITCHEN CABINET A FAIR EXCHANGE.

And the smoker's table? Useful? I should say. As a little sewing-stand, It has come to stay. Foreign Beverages. Booza—is a drink made in Turkey, from barley. Probably, the Americans who want an excuse for the slang expression "booze," will like to lay the blame on the "Unspeakable Turk." Quash—is a Russian beverage made of hot water poured on rye bread until it ferments. It is cheaper than vodka. Schnapps—a Dutch drink made in Schiedam. It is a strong gin distilled from turpentine. It is not at all like beer, nor so widely consumed. Pulque—is a distillation of the juice of the agave, a species of cactus. It is the favorite beverage of the Mexicans, and is made by mixing the juice with water and sugar, when it is allowed to ferment. Bar Maids in England.—It is curious to note that these are selected apparently with a view to having them as young as possible. Members of the crusade against saloons in London disclosed the fact that about 90 per cent. of the bar maids in London were under 25 years old. And more than 6,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 20 are employed in that one city alone. THE THING EXPECTED. ISS NANCY OLDFIELD always says And does the thing ex- pected. She sees a sunset, and she says: "A sketch would be re- jected If it were half as vivid; not An artist but would shrink. From painting clouds so flier red, As Nature—don't you think?" M She says she "cannot do a thing With newly-shampooed hair." And once the climax seems in sight, When, showing dimples rare, She gave me that old story (did This cut-and-dried Miss Nancy). Of how she "loathed plain cooking, but Liked making dishes fancy." She goes not in for suffrage, But, in her soft, round face, There comes a smile seraphic, "Home is the woman's place." In short, this maiden always does And says the things expected; That's why I marveled much when My proposal she rejected! "From Minute to Minute." Not only "from day to day," but from "minute to minute" is the advice of a certain woman (a very busy city woman), which accounts for the vast amount of work she is able to accomplish. She is a housekeeper, a music teacher and writer, besides finding time for club work and her children's amusements. "I never could do it if I looked one minute ahead," she said. "I should be swamped. I am on my way to the dentist now." "And after that?" I asked. She smiled. "Let me see; yes, if I stop to think, I have lunch for the children; lessons all the afternoon, and then dinner to prepare. This evening I have a class in musical history, and—but don't make me think so far ahead. I am to catch this car for the dentist's now, and that is enough to put my mind on for the present," and she ran gagly off. The concentration of effort on the thing in hand is the only secret of accomplishment. Granted, of course, ability, and some planning, the next requisite is strict attention to the thing in hand. The duties piling up before you are not seen; calm concentration on the immediate task makes the day roll out like a clear scroll, and vision is clear and duties light. Aids to Fricassee. The indispensable "aids" to a good fricassee, or stew, especially if it be a fowl, are the following: For one fowl, one quart boiling water, three sprays of parsley, a bay leaf, a stick or two of celery, two slices onion, a carrot, and seasoning of salt and pepper to taste. Given these, slowly cooked, and you have a delicious dish which may be served with the following sauce if it is to be eaten on any extra occasion. Cook together two ounces each, butter and flour, without allowing it to brown. Add slowly a pint of the liquor, and boil ten minutes. Add the yolk of an egg beaten with a spoonful of cream and a squeeze of lemon juice. When hot, pour over the chicken, and serve at once. WE SING the praises of books, Of old friends, tried true, And to the mellow, pened wine, We tender homage to "Old books, old wine, friends"-and yet, Another theme I cho I drink a toast, frie fill a cup, To one thing more- shoes! Ah, is there any tor like New shoes, on t feet? How often, footsore, have we gone A-limping up the street? How oft, on coming home at night, Worn out, a prey to blues, We sink, exhausted, in a chair- "Quick! bring me my old shoes!" We slip them on-ah, blest relief! Who could the toast refuse? There is no comfort in the world, Like that old pair of shoes. Timely Tips. For the kitchen woodwork—never use soap. This seems to add to the necessities for washing. Bran water is excellent to apply to the paint. Prepare it in the proportion of a pound of bran to a gallon of water. A pint of granulated sugar is equal to one pound; a quart of sifted flour makes a pound; a pint of butter, a pound, and a cup of butter or sugar, half a pound. A pint of chopped meat is equal to one pound, and a cupful of bread crumbs, two ounces. For green coloring for cakes, candies, etc., the extract of the pistachio nut is excellent and harmless. If this be found too expensive, extract of spinach is almost as good, though it lacks the flavor. Bridget's Beatitudes. Blessed are the green vegetables which are kept in a cool, dry place. A liberal use of fresh lime keeps out the dampness. Blessed are the wax papers found in the cracker and cake boxes. They serve many purposes; to wrap sandwiches in for picnics, and to rub over the iron in place of beeswax. Blessed is the blueing put in the water in which the clothes are boiled. It is as important and helpful as the blue in the rinsing. Blessed is the kitchen table which is provided with a "flap" at one side (or both), which can be let down when extra space is not needed. Blessed is the coarse salt sprinkled about the drains. It is an excellent disinfectant. THE LOCK OF HAIR. M A lock of hair: from what fair head? Of baby? Sweetheart? Wife? Remembered, thou art life in death; forgotten, death in life. Oh, relics of a by-gone day, a glove, a faded leaf. Time travesties our joys, and makes a mockery of grief. Yet I will keep thee, treasure-trove, sacred, whale'er thou be; Thy secret keep; thou art the pledge of Grape-Fruit. Time was when the orange and banana were looked upon askance as strange, foreign fruits, and distinctly regarded as luxuries. But now it is difficult to imagine a grocer or delicatessen shop without their cheerful presence. People on the sunny side of 40 can still remember when bananas were a dime apiece, and a wonderful treat—which now we take quite as a matter of course. And even so, this foreign grape fruit, while of comparatively recent introduction, is rapidly gaining in popularity. It is variously known as the "shadduck" the "forbidden fruit," or the "pomeloe," but grape-fruit it is now generally called. It is, really, nothing more than a large, thin-skinned, pale yellow, sorange. But it is credited with strongly tonic properties, and the faint, bitter taste is said to be caused by the presence of certain salts possessing all the beneficial effects of quinine. It varies in size from those no larger than an overgrown orange, to specimens as large as a small melon. Much of our grape fruit comes from Jamaica. There are many opinions as to the proper mode of eating it. The best way is to prepare it before sending it to table by cutting the fruit in half, crosswise, and removing the bitter pith. Then loosen the sections with a sharp knife, and fill the cavity in the center with sugar. Some like the addition of rum or claret. The sugar should not be added until it is ready to be eaten, as the juice is otherwise drawn out and the pulp made tough. For extra style in serving, cherries may be scattered through the pulp, or the cavity filled with ice of any desired flavor. Olivia Bartos Ostrus AN INDIGESTION REMEDY FREE Many people who are otherwise healthy suffer from indigestion, or dyspepsia. When you consider that the stomach and allied digestive organs are the most important organs of the body, it would seem that a disorder there is to be taken very seriously. Dyspepsia cannot eat the things they like; food sours in the stomach, then chronic constipation begins, or, as is often the case, you have been constipated all along, and the stools are forced and irregular. But there is no use letting indigestion go until it becomes chronic and undermines your health. It is good advice to take a course of Dr. Caldwell's gist and get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That man is a great gist and he is well to-day. Others who did the same and are cured are Ida A. Fortune, of Grand Junction, Tenn., B. F. of the drugstore, and I actually considers that it saved his life. You can obtain a 50-cent or $1 bottle of the drugstreet, and, taken according to directions, it is a liquid, acts gently, never grips, and besides the laxative effect, contains exceptional tonic properties which tone the stomach and has what is especially useful in home without any charges. In this way thousands have proven to their own satisfaction Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the drugstore's gist and home without any charges. In this way thousands have proven to their own satisfaction Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the drugstore's gist and home without any charges.

One fancies that few types of men, can, from time to time, have afforded royalty more amusement of a quiet sort than provincial mayors of England. "From the Foreland to Penzance," by Clive Holland, contains the story of a mayor of Weymouth who, during one of the visits of King George to the town, was destined to afford "comic relief" to a ceremony of some importance. The occasion was the presentation of an address of welcome to the king, and we are told that the mayor, on approaching to present it, to the astonishment and dismay of all, instead of kneeling, as he had been told to do, seized the queen's hand to shake it as he might that of any other lady. Col. Gwynne, the master of the ceremonies, hurriedly told him of the faux pas, saying: "You should have kneeled, sir." "Sir, I cannot," was the reply. "Everybody does, sir," hotly asserted the colonel. The mayor grew red, and evidently much upset, exclaimed: "Confound it, sir, but I've got a wooden leg!" History records that that "a smile surfused the face of her majesty, and the king laughed outright."—Youth's Companion. A Plea for Bachelors There are few people in the community more generous, according to their means, more unselfish, and more self-denying than the much-maligned bachelor class. Why, then, should it be taxed? If a tax is required, let it be levled on the pampered, petted, over-indulged, usually ungrateful married man—London Dally Graphic. You can never make a woman believe that she isn't saving money when she spends ten cents in car fare in order to obtain a dollar article for 98 cents. OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something. The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediately and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat any thing I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regularly. "My son who was troubled with indigestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in Pkgs.

The surviving officers of the navy who faced death that day in the south Pacific occasionally hold reunions in the city of Washington that are as marked in their way as the yearly meetings in the capital of the officers who fought with Dewey in Manila bay. The experience on the Trenton was perhaps worse than any experience of war, but Admiral Lyon, then a lieutenant, lived through it to take an active part in battles which were waged against other elements than those of wind and wave In the Samoan hurricane Lieut. Lyon bore an active part in the saving of his ship in the rescue of the men of the sister vessel, Vandella, which Spangled Banner" to the keeping up of the heart of the crew when every moment was thought to be the ship's last. In the face of death the band played the national anthem and the crew sang while battling with the storm for the master. There were 47 American officers and sailors lost in that hurricane. The reports of the officers of the three American ships told in full the tale of the heroism of the common sailors, but said nothing of their own heroism. The story of the deeds of Capt. Farquhar, Lieut. Lyon and of the rest of the officers of the American ship came from the pens of admiring aliens. During the Spanish war Admiral Lyon, then a commander, was in command of the Dolphin, a dispatch boat. A message carrier though his craft was, Commander Lyon then saw service in which it is ordinarily considered the business of the battleship to engage. The Dolphin was present at Sampson's bombardments of the forts at the entrance to the harbor of Santiago. Capt. Lyon with the Dolphin, which was of such build that a single shell probably would have sunk it, constantly ran his vessel in at night close to the fortifications in order to guard against any escape of the Spanish craft under cover of darkness. It was the Dolphin, under Commander Lyon which supported the marines in their fights at Guantanamo and at Cusco. The Dolphin constantly shelled the enemy, causing them to break from cover to give the marines on shore the opportunity of fighting something besides a hidden enemy. FLAG DAY AT HAND By MARIE EVERTON WOODRUFF LAG DAY, June 14, reminds that previous to the so-called birth of the flag an American flag, believed to be the rattlesnake flag of yellow silk, had been raised above the Alfred, the flagship of the commander-in-chief of the navy, Lieut. John Paul Jones. This was December, 1775, but when the fleet sailed January 5, 1776, a flag was displayed "with 12 stripes in the field, emblematic of the 13 united colonies." Later John Paul Jones is credited with being the first to hoist the Stars and Stripes over an American man-of-war, the first to show them in European waters, the first to receive and acknowledge a salute to them from a foreign power, the first to compel a regular British man-of-war to strike to them, the first to display them on board the first ship of the line built for the United States, which was appropriately christened the America. number of both stripes and stars much debate, but was finally the flag was used 23 years, and the flag inspired Francis Scott anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner of states had increased to Now comes an interesting idea To Mr. Peter H. Wendover of debt for the present appeal Wendover was a member of of December, 1816, he took upnent form of the flag. His bus and flag maker, and he realize the impracticability of adding state should appear. He there—"that a committee be appointed expediency of altering the flag that they have to report by bld Another connection of American womanhood with the growth of the flag is interesting. The first flag recognized by a foreign power was of silk, made and presented by the ladies of Portsmouth, N. H. It was said to be about 36 feet in the fly. John Paul Jones is authority for the statement that the same flag flew over the Bon Homme Richard when she fought the Serapis. He stated that the flag went down with the ship, yet a flag is now exhibited in the National museum which is said to be that of the Richard. A statement has also been made recently by eminent authority that the Ranger was not the first to receive recognition by a foreign power, but that the incident was antedated by a similar recognition of the flag of the Hornet, an American vessel fitted out at Baltimore by Joshua Barney, later Commodore Barney. An uncertain thing is fame. Whatever the truth of the various statements the progress of the flag has been continuous. The flag of 13 stripes and 13 stars was used at Brandywine—floated over the surrender of Burgoyne—cheered the patriots during the dreary winter at Valley Forge, waved at Yorktown and shared the rejoicings at the close of the war. The first change came in 1794, when Vermont having been admitted to the union in 1791, and Kentucky in 1792, a bill was presented in congress increasing the W ship in the rescue of the m sister vessel, Vandalia, which was a total loss. The Trenton was carried ashore finally by the terrific sea, but through the excellent management of her officer, who maintained a perfect discipline in a soul-trying time, the vessel escaped destruction. In the Samoan harbor when that tempest came up, out of the sea there were gathered men-of-war of three nations—America, Germany and Great Britain. The story of the tempest has been told time and again. Everyone perhaps knows how the British sailors whose vessel was the only one staunch enough to put to sea in the teeth of the storm, cheered their sailor brothers who were battling with death. It was under the orders of Lleut. Lyon transmitted to him by Capt. Farquhar of the Trenton that the members of the band of the flagship were lashed to the rigging in order that they might hold their places and play "The Star F It was Commander Lyon of the Dolphin who cleared Guantanamo bay of the torpedoes with which it was strewn by the Spaniards. Every moment of the time in which he was engaged in this work his vessel was in danger, of being sunk by a hidden mine, but Lyon kept at the task until the seaway was clear of the explosive obstructions. In Maclay's "History of the United States Navy," the method of torpedo removal that Lyon employed is thus described: "Under the direction of this officer two steam cutters, each towing a whaleboot some distance astern, were employed, which, steaming in parallel courses, passed over every navigable part of the bar every navigable part of the bay. Between the two whaleboats was stretched a light chain, some 50 feet long. As the whaleboats, drawn by the steam launches, moved along on parallel courses the chain swept the water under the surface until it came into contact with a torpedo anchor and cable. The obstacle at once re- number of both stripes and stars to 15. This bill caused much debate, but was finally passed, and the 15-stripe flag was used 23 years, and it was in this form that the flag inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner." In 1818 the number of states had increased to 18. Now comes an interesting item in the flag's history. To Mr. Peter H. Wendover of New York city we are indebted for the present appearance of the flag. Mr. Wendover was a member of congress and on the 9th of December, 1816, he took up the matter of a permanent form of the flag. His business was that of a sail and flag maker, and he realized because of experience the impracticability of adding a stripe as each new state should appear. He therefore, offered a resolution—"that a committee be appointed to inquire into the expediency of altering the flag of the United States, and that they have to report by bill or otherwise." The motion was carried, and he was made chairman of the committee to report a law. The committee referred the matter to Capt. Samuel C. Reid of New York, who had, as a privateer, distinguished himself by the capture of several British ships. As a result the committee presented a report, a part of which was: "In viewing this subject there appears to be a happy coincidence of circumstances in having adopted the symbols in this flag, and a peculiar fitness of things in making the proposed alteration. In that part designed at a distance to characterize our country, and which ought for the information of other nations to appear conspicuous and remain permanent, you present the number of states that burst the bonds of oppression and achieved our independence; while in the part intended for the nearer or home view you see a representation of our happy union as it now exists, and space sufficient to embrace the symbols of those who may hereafter join under our banner." Thereupon congress enacted the flag law in 1818, and the first flag in its present form was made by the wife of Capt. Reid, assisted by a number of ladies, at her residence in Cherry street, New York city. This flag had 21 stars, and it was provided further by congress that a star should be added upon the addition of each GERMAN VESSEL WRECKED IN SAMOAN STORM ing of the torpedo removals, gave all the credit to others. Of two young ensigns, William C. Cole and Yates stirling, Jr., who commanded the whaleboats, Lyon wrote: "It was as plucky an enterprise as ever I witnessed. Day after day these young officers ventured close in shore within pistol shot of a defense chaparral, where Spaniards could have fired with certain aim upon them with impunity, yet they went about their work as unmindful of their peril as if demon- ed with troops moving along the railroad on the shore toward Santiago. The road ran through tunnels and cuts in the bluffs, but there were occasionally open spaces. When the train appeared in one of the openings and was "skurrying" for shelter beyond, Lyon opened on it with the Dolphin's four-inch guns and with new state. The plan of arranging the stars in rows was also adopted. The flag now has 46 stars, and it is notable that it has never had one taken from it, the government maintaining during the civil conflict in the sixties that the tie which binds the states cannot be severed. Although the flag has passed through three foreign wars, it has never known defeat, never been trailed in the dust of dishonor. Some of the uses to which it is sometimes put at home, however, are not suggestive of the highest respect. But 34 states and territories now have laws making it a misdemeanor, punishable with fine and imprisonment, or both, to place any inscription or picture upon the flag, and two bills are before congress with a similar purpose, one being passed by the senate at the session just closed. On the Fourth of July of last year another star was added, and Oklahoma took her place in the galaxy of states. The sun never sets upon "Old Glory," and this was true before the acquisition of the Philippines, the Aleutian islands, a part of Alaska, extending so far west that when the sun sinks below the horizon there it is just rising from the sea at Eastport, Me. Countless anecdotes might be related of devotion to the flag and of personal sacrifices made for its preservation. Women as well as men have exhibited sublime heroism when the flag was in danger. And the principles for which it stands have earned for it and for the country the respect of all the world. One of the least known, yet most precious of the historic American flags now in existence is what is familiarly known in the ancient commonwealth of Massachusetts as the Bedford flag. When the "Concord Hymn," by the "sage of Concord," Ralph Waldo Emerson, first appeared exceptions were taken to the line "Their flag to April's breeze unfurled," the critics maintaining that the little band of farmers who assembled at the Old North bridge at Concord the historic 19th of April, 1775, and fired "the shot heard 'round the world'" had no flag. As in many other proven instances, the critics were mistaken. There was a flag at Concord, and that flag is still in existence. It was carried by Nathaniel Page, Jr., one of the minute men of Bedford, an adjoining town. This flag was stored in an attic in the old home of the Pages for many years, and was thought so little of by its owners that upon one occasion a daughter of the house is said to have used a portion of the gold fringe which bordered it to decorate a costume for a masquerade party. On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the "Concord fight," in 1775, the old flag was again brought to light and carried in the procession which was part of the celebration of the anniversary. tarded the progress of the boats, the torpedo was raised to the surface and removed." As usual with a brave man, Co m·mander Lyon, in writ- strating a problem in geometry in a classroom." On the afternoon of June 6, 1898, the Dolphin was cruising eastward of the entrance of Santiago harbor. When his vessel was close in shore Commander Lyon saw a train of open flat cars crowd- the smaller arms of the war craft. The engineer of the train put on all speed and carried his human freight into a tunnel and there he came to a stop. Lyon had his four-inch guns directed at the waterside wall of the tunnel wall and the shells began to batter down the covering. A breach was made in the wall, and, fearing that the whole thing would cave in, the engineer took the train out of the tunnel, and, gathering headway, it went at full speed for the next hiding place. Lyon took a flying shot and planted a four-inch shell into the locomotive's boiler and it was all up with the train. The Dolphin went in nearer to the beach and the crew opened with small arms on the troops, who returned the fire with their rifles and then made a scramble for cover. It is said that in this affair 100 Spaniards were killed or wounded. Rear Admiral Lyon is spoken of by his comrades in arms as "The Gallant Lyon." He is a fine sailor and doubtless he regrets that he has come to the end of his active duty cruise, and is in the port of retirement. Rear Admiral Bowman Hendry McCalla is an old American sailor who has been obliged by the fixed law of the service to seek a land berth for the rest of his life. He is active enough to go through more storms and more battles for his country's sake, but the youngsters must be given a chance, and so McCalla has stowed away within earshot of the noise of the sounding sea which he loves. Heroism during the Spanish war and heroesim at Tien-tsin during the invasion of China brought honors to McCalla to be added to the accumulation of honors earlier and worthily won. Years ago Admiral McCalla, then a commander, went ashore at Colon on the Isthmus of Panama, and backed by 150 blue jackets and marines, thrashed a regiment of Panama insurgents who were erecting barricades and were attempting to interfere with the Central and South American cable offices. It was said that McCalla thrashed the insurgents. He thrashed them without firing a shot. He did not care to involve his government in possible far-reaching trouble, and so he took means of his own to teach the troublesome ones a lesson without shedding their blood. Veracious history has it that the American commander, after a showing of force, captured the insurgent leaders and spanked them. The cable-cutting operations which Admiral McCalla conducted while in command of the Marblehead during the Spanish war were among the most notable achievements of that conflict, being carried on under the heaviest kind of fire not only from the great guns of the forts, but from the small and deadly firearms in the hands of hidden Spanish sharpshooters who lined the shore. During the second week in May, 1898, the Marblehead's commander made up his mind that there was a chance that the cables of the submarine company in Cuba leading from Cienfuegos harbor might be cut if a daring plan which he evolved could be carried out successfully. The plan was carried out successfully, and it brought fame not only to the man who conceived it, but to the younger officers and to the seamen who dared death—in fact, fairly courted death—that they might obey orders to the letter. The Marblehead and the Nashville were brought within range of the shore fortifications. Their two commanders stood where for hours they were fair marks for the enemy's guns. On that day McCalla of the Marblehead and his colleagues of the Nashville gave their men an example of heroism that to-day shines on the pages of naval history. If they were heroic, their juniors were none less heroic, and two boats' crews of seamen won that day the recognition of their government as being men ready to dare anything for the flag's sake. Lleut. Cameron McRae Winslow of the Nashville, took command of the cable-cutting outfit, consisting of launches from the Marblehead and its sister ship. The orders of the launch commanders were to run in close to Colorados Point and there to grapple for the cables and to cut them. Just back of the launches, coming as close as they could and to avoid grounding, were the Marblehead and the Nashville, with the men at the guns ready to cover the work of the heroes. Commander McCalla directed that because the men in the launches probably were going to their deaths, no man should be ordered to the duty, but that volunteers should be asked for. Every man on both ships volunteered for the service. The sailors and marines were told by Lieut. Anderson, under the orders of Commander McCalla, that it was extremely likely that those who went would never come back, and that it must be distinctly understood that no man was to go unless he wanted to go. They all wanted to go, and 16 went in each boat, but not all returned. McCalla ran the Marblehead into a favorable position and opened fire on the rifle pits of the Spaniards, which ran at right angles to one face of the cable-house. The Nashville shelled the chaparral beyond. The launches started toward the beach and reached a point only 100 feet distant from the breaking surf. There a cable was grappled, lifted and after extreme exertion, was cut. There were yet other cables, and the launches started for the point beneath which one was supposed to lie. They found it, lifted it and cut it, when suddenly the enemy, who had been using rifles, opened with machine guns, which had apparently been brought up in response to a message from the cable-house that the enemy was attacking. There was a third cable and with the bullets cutting the wavas about them like hall on the sea, the herole boat crews worked on. Lieut. Winslow was shot through the head; he paid no attention to the wound, though it was severe. Robert Volz, a seaman, was shot four times. Patrick Reagan, Herman W. Kuchmeister and Harry Hendrickson were mortally wounded and six other men of the command were struck. Volz came back to life after the surgeons said he must die. The work was done and it was costly, but naval authorities declare that it was worth the price. All the time that the operations in the launches were proceeding Commander McCalla, standing on the bridge of his vessel, was made the target of the heavy guns and the small guns of the enemy. He ran, perhaps, a greater risk than did the men at work in the small boats, but death passed him by. It was Rear Admiral McCalla, who, at that time, had been promoted to a captaincy, who took personal command of a hundred seamen and marines and started for the walls of Tien-tsin. His little detachment of sailors and "sailor soldiers" was the first of the forces of the allies to arrive at the Chinese city. For his services, Tien-tsin fight Capt. McCalla was advanced three numbers "gallant and meritorious," as the record puts it, at the in his naval rank. He is now living at Santa Barbara, probably regretful that his days of active duty are all in the past. THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, : : : : KANS. W. N. MILLER.....Editor Residence Phone Bell 1641.

The strike which has tied up the Georgia railroad is not the ordinary struggle between a labor union and employing corporation. It involves a denial of the right or negroes to work as passenger firemen and may incite a considerable race warfare. Indeed Goveruor Smith has refusde to call out the militia on ground that bloodshed would follow such a course for thousands of armed farmers have taken the white railroad men's side in the controversy. If the strike succeeds, negroes will be driven out of like employment upon other Southern railroads. An ugly issue is thus raised not in the South alone and not for the first time. There is a general tendency to restrict negroes to farm labor and to work as mule drivers rou stabouts, hotel waiters sleeping car porters and whitewashers, except where they can as teachers preachers, and professional men serve their own race. They are not even admitted as workers in cotton mills. Such exclusion is regrettable. The negro can only work out his own salvation which is bound up the industrial prosperity of the South, if he is fitted to do.

Dear Sir, Please allow space in the columns of your ever welcome newspaper to express to the public some of the joy that we had at Newton Kansas, on last Snnday May 30th. At 8:30 a.m. there were forty-five of some of Wichita's best and most talented citizens boarded a Santa Fe spell for Newton Kansas, and all the way from Wichita to Newton of every minute was filled with joy and merriment every body was happy and in the best of spirits. And when we finally reached the Newton the joy ran higher. We were joined by a happy crowd of Newton citizens and made our way to the A.M.E. church. At eleven oclock the services were begun with singing by the Junior and Senior choir and at 11:20 Rev. S. S. Washington pastor of the A.M.E. church of Newton introduced to the vast audience Rev. Jas. T. Smith pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church of Wichita Rev. Smith was in good spirit and delivered a wonderful and a maeterly sermon which will live long in the heorts and minds of the people of Newton. At this morning service a collection of Fifty ($50.00) dollars was raised. At the conclusion of the service all partook one of those real old fashion dinners just on the outside of the church. Every one ate to their hearts content and we had 12 baskets left. At 3:30 p.m. the Junior and Senior choirs of Wichita and the Chapel choir of Newton under the direction of Prot. Geo. W. White of Wichita, open the services. It was here that the sweet strains of music and captiviating voices caused the angle to stop and wonder and the Lord lent a listing ear and the hearts of men to leap with joy. Too much praise cannot be said of these wonderful choirs. At 8 p.m. Rev. Jas S. Smith preached from the subject "Lay aside every weight and sin that so easily beset us". He carried his congregation with him from beginning to end and everyone sat spell bound as he delivered to them his masterly message from God, Rev. Smith is truly a minister commissioned and sent from God to proclaim His blessed truth to the sons of men. He is wonderful and a mighty man of God. At this service twenty two dollars and ninety cents ($22.90) was raised making a total collection for the day of $72.90. Every one was much pleased and wish to go again.

Good Work - Low Prices to all 634 North Water St. Night Lights of New York Are a Vision of Magnificence. The sky line of New York is always changing. So, too, the night lights shift and grow in wonderful magnificence, creeping continually further upward toward the stars, until the lower city, grouped around the Singer tower, has become a veritable Chimborazo of glitter and glow. The little lamps that mark the dark wharves barely show. Above them the scant candles of the older city twinkle here and there, but not enough to mar the dark foreground beyond which come the palaces more goregous than any ever coaxed from genil land by slaves of Aladdin's lamp. From the platform towers of the great bridge the picture sets to the best advantage. It begins with the sinking sum. The murky view beyond the bay betcomes dull and dark. The torch in Liberty's hand suddenly gleams like in the night and then, like the twinkling in a kaleidoscope, the palaces begin to glitter in the gloom. There is no vision like it elsewhere in the world, yet only now and then does a bridge pedestrian pause in his hurried walk to give the spectacle a momentary glance. The usual New Yorker cares little for the splendor of his town.—N. Y. World. Now that a grocery In Beifast who has been doing business for more than 50 years has decided to close out his stock and retire, it will be interesting to know whether he still has in his store any goods that he bought when he first went into business. The Argentine ant, newly arrived at Oakland, Cal., and well settled in Louisiana, near New Orleans, is said to be the least in size but the most pugnacious and destructive of the family. It is small business for $c$ future great country like Argentina to send but such emigrants. It is no organ of monopolists but an agricultural paper which declares that the high price of meat is due, not to any trust, but to the demands of young married women, who, dreading the hackneyed jokes about the culinary attempts of novices, have taken to serving their husbands with steaks, "which anybody can cook." From the Grosi (Cal.) Offer we learn the interesting fact that "Ed Morell, who broke into the county jail in 1894, has gone to Millwood to recuperate, having been pardoned after serving 14 years in prison. Morell received a patent on a life-saving invented while in prison, on which he hopes to make a sum of money." Mr Morell appears to be a peculiar and original sort of person. His future career will be watched with interest. Women's Sweet Laughter. A woman has no natural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water; it leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool exhilarating spring. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the dark some wood in which we are travelling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange. Chinese Historical Plays That Keep Alive Race Prejudice. Historical plays are acted everywhere in China. They are popular in the quiet villages, the homes of the rich, in the crowded cities, and in the bugy market towns. These plays are written with the object of intensifying the bitterness and contempt of the people against the foreigner. The story of plunderings and massacres of their forefathers is vividly portrayed, with all the dramatic power that the actors possess. The foreigner is represented as a monster in appearance. His face is dragged out of shape and his mouth is made to appear near his ear. His beard on one side is red and on the other blue. His eyes are fierce and staring, and murder is stamped upon his hideous features. The people of the interior, who have never come into actual contact with the foreigner, have this conception of the hated barbarian. To their minds Americans, French, English, Germans are all alike, barbarians to be destroyed. Peculiar African Race. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flth, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kaffirs live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great an heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mealies are likewise grown. Took Precautions. "You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court. "Why didn't you slow down?" "Mere precaution, your honor. Once I shut off speed and hit a man so gentl y that he was able to climb into the machine and give me a licking." Quite a number of Wichitans went to Nswton last Sunday to attend the Rally at the A. M. E. church of which Rev. S. S. Washington is pastor.

"Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day as I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite, about two miles away, I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best colle, look through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid cut in state, and the funeral to take peace by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world." -Home Notes. Maciedonia Tabernacle No. 93 s still progressing.

They Are Not Only Carriers of Diseases But Make Life Miserable —How Every one May Help. Topeka, Kansas.—Dr. S. J. Crumoine, secretary of the state board of health, desires the people of Kansas to remove all surplus water from their premises this year and prevent the propogation of mosquitoes. In this month's bulletin Dr. Crumbine says: Besides being carriers of disease (malarial fever and yellow fever), they drive us into the house on a summer evening or else we must run the risk of losing a portion of our good red blood, being tattooed with red blotches and possibly be infected with germs of a serious disease. It is worth your while to help in the warfare of extermination on the mosquito and the fly. Mosquitoes seldom breed in large bodies of water; they perfer small pools, rain water that has collected in tin cans or buckets, cess pools, rain barrels, broken bottles, cellars that have water standing in them, badly drained roofs and leaders which permit water to collect in the sagging parts. Everyone can easily, and without the expenditure of money, assist materially in exterminating these pests by the spending of a few minutes after every rain storm in an inspection of the premises to see that all premises that might permit water to collect are immediately removed. ZEPPELIN AIRSHIP DAMAGED After Covering 850 Miles in 37 Hours The Craft Was Accidentally Injured. Goeppingen.—After covering a distance of about 850 milts in 37 hours, Count Zeppelins airship on its return trip from Bitterfeld to Friedrichshafen came to grief in an open field near here. In manoeuvering for a landing the airship came in contact with a tree and its position is very dangerous. The damage to the ship is much more serious than at first thought. A cursory examination directly after the accident showed that the envelope had been torn, and it was thought that the injury could be repaired and that the vessel would proceed. A more careful examination, however, disclosed the fact that the prow was broken, and that considerable time must elapse before the journey could be continued. NOW BREWERS WANT REFORM Change in Methods of Selling Intoxicants Only Means of Heading Off Prohibition. Atlanta City, New Jersey.—Rudolph J. Schaefer, president of the New York Brewers association, outlined what is expected to be the policy of the National Brewers' association in an address before the state organization in which he declared that brewers will lead the reform in the selling of intoxicants, which he said, is sure to come this year. He gave credit to New York clergymen for much assistance in obtaining proper reforms in liquor selling and advocated such reform as the only means of heading off the prohibition movement. Two hundred delegates are here for the national convention. Sixteen Roads Eight Low Fare Sixteen Roads Fight Low Fare. Jefferson City, Mo-Seven more railroads, making 16 in all, came into the supreme court with demurrers to the petition of Attorney General Major relative to their action in the matter of the three-cent fare rate.

Chicago, Illinois.—After 46 hours of almost constant wrangling the jury in the case of M. J. Boyle and F. A Pouchot, labor leaders, brought in a verdict of guilty on a charge of taking money to stop strikes, fining each of the defendants $500. Maddin is the so-called labor "czar" of Chicago.

Minneapolis Journal TREASURY SHORT OF CASH WORKING BALANCE NOT SUFFI CIENT FOR GOVERNMENT. A Bond Issue to Be Authorized by Congress Suggested—Call Money From Banks. Washington, D. C.—The treasury deficit for May is shown by the statement to have been $5,453,955. For the 11 months of the current fiscal year a deficit of $97,858,102 is indicated. The available cash balance was $118,979,764 and the working balance $40,329,000. Total receipts for May were $53,322,310 and disbursements $58,786,265. This showing is much more favorable than was expected by officials as late as three months ago and indicates that the deficit for the full fiscal year will fall much short of the official estimate of $112,000,000. The working balance is not regarded as fully adequate to the probable needs of the treasury for any great length of time and while the necessity for additional cash is not pressing, it is believed that officials will take advantage of the present easy money conditions throughout the country by calling on the national depositary banks for the return to the treasury of their holdings. These banks now have deposits subject to treasury check aggregating about $62,774,000, and it is believed that the government interest would not suffer by a withdrawal of at least $20,000,000 of this sum. This strengthening of the working balance undoubtedly would place the treasury in a position to await without special concern the passage of the pending tariff bill with any incidental authorization as to bond issues which congress may see fit to grant. FRISCO GRAIN DOCKS BURN Nine Hundred Tons of Grain and 100 Tons of Hops Also destroyeed. San Francisco, Cal.—Two thousand feet of the Nevada grain dock at Port Costa on the bay, 30 miles from San Francisco, in which all the grain from California for foreign ports has been loaded for 25 years, were destroyeed by fire. The loss is estimated at more than $1,000,000. Nine hundred tons of grain, 100 tons of hops, several cars laden with wheat and lumber and the "grader" the large structure where the grain was graded, for shipment were burned. A. Madden Witness Indicted. Chicago, Illinois—Francis E. Bowman, business agent for the Structural Iron Workers' Union, was indicted on a charge of perjury here in connection with his testimony for the defense in the trial of Madden, Pouchot and Boyle, the labor leaders who were convicted last week of "grafting." Bowman was an important witness for the defendants. One Thousand Agents Dropped. New York, N. Y.—One thousand agents of the New York Life Insurance company formally terminated their service with that corporation.

ALASKA-YUKON FAIR OPENED President Taft Pressed a Key and Started the Machinery of the Exposition. Seattle, Washington. — At exactly 12:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Seattle time, President Taft in the White house in Washington, pressed a beautiful gold telegraph key, and at the signal that flashed all the way across the country the wheels in every part began to turn and the great fair was opened. When the auspicious moment arrived every whistle in Seattle was pulled wide open, every other noise-making contrivance was brought into use, every man, woman and child of the city's inhabitants and of the thousands of visitors already here cheered, and the opening of the exposition was accomplished in the midst of a deafening din and general rejoicings. For two minutes every street car stood still and all business was suspended. SETTLING THE GEORGIA STRIKE Train Service Has Been Resumed While the Parties Are Reaching Agreement. Atlanta, Georgia.—Officials of the Georgia railroad and of the Brotherhood of Firemen spent nearly the entire day in conference over those points in strike agreement which remain to be settled.

Meantime train service on the Georgia railroad has reached normal conditions except in the freight department and the officials say that by Monday noon all freight trains will be moving on the old schedule.

Chicago, Illinois—Soon after the close of the market on the board of trade, which ended the famous Patten wheat deal, a small army of employees in the office of Bartlett, Patten & Co., each with a broad smile on his face, filed into the cashier's office to cash checks amounting to 10 per cent of their salaries.

Has Had Only Two Weeks of Freedom Since Seven Years Old. Topeka, Kansas.—Gov. Stubbs has received a pathetic letter from a man 26 years old, who has had only two weeks of freedom since he was seven years old. The young man is now in the Kansas penitentiary, and he asks the governor to give him just one more chance to "make good." The governor's office does not give out the names of pardon or parole applicants until the matter is acted upon, so that the name of this prisoner is unknown for the present at least. For 19 years this boy has been behind prison bars, except for two weeks. He was first in the Kansas Reform school, then in the reformatory and then in the penitentiary. His two weeks of freedom was while he was out on parole from the state reformatory. EX-GOV. CRITTENDEN BURIED Kansas City, Mo.-The members of both houses of the city council, the heads of the departments at the city hall, many members of the Kansas City bar, many business men and personal friends of the family attended the funeral of the late Thomas T. Crittenden at the home, 3220 Flora avenue. There were many women present. The house, porch, lawn and neighboring lawns were filled and many were forced to stand in the street. Floral offerings without number were heaped about the coffin and covered the walls and porch. The coffin was draped with the flag of the Seventh Missouri Cavalry, of which Mr. Crittenden was a member during the Civil War. Rev. T. P. Haley, a lifelong friend, preached the funeral sermon at the request of the deceased. ZEPPELIN SAILS 456 MILES Daring Inventor Had Been in Ain 22 Hours When Last Heard From. Berlin, Germany.—Count Zeppelin, whose remarkable performance in his first airship brought unbounded honors to the inventor, accomplished the most striking feat in his career. He guided his Zeppelin II from Friedrichshafen to Bitterfeld, a distance of more than 456 miles, without landing. The journey lasted nearly 22 hours and when last heard from Count Zeppelin was still in the air on the return journey to Friedrichshafen. He has already beaten all records for dirigible balloons with the opportunity of greatly improving the performance. THE GREAT AUTO RACE STARTS Ten High-Power American Cars Leave New York on Run to Seattle New York, N. Y.—The same telegraph signal by which President Taft opened the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition started ten highpowered automobiles of American make off on a 4,000-mile contest of speed and endurance.

Must Arbitrate Georgia Strike. Atlanta, Georgia.—Unable to agree upon the terms of settlement, the officials of the Georgia Railroad and of the Brotherhood of Firemen have invoked arbitration under the Erdman law. Commissioner of Labor Neill and Chzirman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce commission reluctantly gave up the effort to bring the warring elements together. Commissioner Neill notified both parties to the dispute to select an arbitrator within five days. His Protrait to Morgan New York, N.

Reeves laceares he shot in self defense. HE PUZZLED THE BRITISHER Evidently Doorkeeper Had Never Heard of the Lord That American Minister Served. Judge George F. Lawton of the Middlesex probate court told me a story the other day of an American minister who was spending his sabbatical year traveling abroad. Arriving in London, he made every effort to get an intimate view of the two branches of parliament in session. Of course no stranger is allowed on the floor of the house of lords, but the minister not knowing this, and with the usual amount of American push, tried to make his way in. There is a rule, however, that servants of the various lords may be admitted to speak to their ministers. Seeing the minister walking boldly in, the doorkeeper asked: "What lord?" repeated the astonished American, "the lord Jehovah!" For a moment the doorkeeper heslated and then admitted him. Turning to an assistant standing near, he said: "He must mean one of those poor Scotch lairds."—Boston Record. A little girl in St. Louis the other evening was going through the usual form of prayer: "God bless mamma, and papa and make me a good girl," and so on, when all at once she seemed to come to a decision. "Now that is the last time I am going to say that prayer," she said, very gravely, looking at her mother. "You are older than I am and it is your place to ask for all those things and I don't see any use in two people's asking the same thing." Since then she has firmly refused to pray, insisting that it is her mother's place to ask God for blessings. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Marian, a little three-year-old, is very stubborn. One day, when she was fretful, her mother, wishing to engage her mind, attracted her attention to a cow in a vacant lot and asked what it was. Marian replied, "hoss" (horse) and stubbornly refused to give in. Her mother, wishing to get a correct answer without scolding, asked: "What eats grass besides a horse?" "More hoss," was the quick response.—Delineator. Continual Doubt. "How many children have you?" said the tourist, affably. "I dunno exactly," answered the tired-looking woman. "Not for certain. Willie's gone fishin', Tommy's breakin' in a colt, Georgie's borrowed his father's shotgun to go hunting' an' Esmeralda Ann is thinkin' of elopin'. I never know how many I've got till supper time comes, so's I can count 'em." The light was soft in the conservatory. "But," said the young girl, nervously plucking to pieces a mauve orchid, "but there are microbes in kisses." The plashing of the fountain mingled with the low, deep voice of the youth. "My microbes," he murmured, passionately, "are so lonely!" Herewith he regretted his lost estate. Appetite Calls "What lord do you serve?" Is Tired of Praying. Quite True.

OPERATION HER ONLY CHANCE WasCuredbyLydiaE.Pinkham'sVegetableCompound Adrian, Ga.—"I suffered untold misery from a female weakness and disease, and I could not stand more than a minute at a time. My doctor said an operation was the only chance I had, and I dreaded it almost as much as death. One day I was reading how other women had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and decided to try time. My doctor sale an operation was the only chance I had, and I dreaded it almost as much as death.

Why will women take chances with an operation or drag out a sickly, half-hearted existence, missing three fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with such ailments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion, and nervous prostration.

Your letter will be absolutely confidential, and the advice free. TENDER, BUT NOT LOVING. Waiter (to customer, who had complained that his steak is not tender enough)—Not tender enough! Dyou expect it to kiss you! Logical Reasoning. A certain young man's friends thought he was dead, but he was only in a state of coma. When, in ample time to avoid being buried, he showed signs of life, he was asked how it seemed to be dead. "Dead?" he exclaimed. "I wasn't dead. I knew all that was going on. And I knew I wasn't dead, too, because my feet were cold and I was hungry." "But how did that fact make you think you were still alive?" asked one of the curious. "Well, this way: I knew that if I were in heaven I wouldn't be hungry. And if I was in the other place my feet wouldn't be cold." Household HInt. "Do you know how to use a chafing dish?" "Yes," answered Mr. Sirius Barker. "I have some novel ideas on the subject." "What are they?"

North of Chicago in the residence towns along the lake shore the art of building porches, verandas, etc., has reached a scientific development in advance of most places. When a Chicago man makes more money than he needs for his daily bread and railment he invests the surplus in a pretty villa in a north shore suburb. Each house has a porch or a loggia, or a veranda, or a colonade, or a porticochaise, or a combination of several of these ornamental, architectural attachments. In a recent visit among these suburbs I learned something in the building of the outside of houses. I found, for instances, several loggia porches. I mean by this term an entrance to the house built along the side of what would otherwise be a loggia. The same foundation answers for both but there is a low parapet wall built up about two feet above the cement floor reaching from the pier in front to a pilaster built into the front wall of the house. This wall separates the front door entrance from what would otherwise have been a genuine loggia. A porch proper is a shelter built over an outside door, an entrance door to a house or other building. A loggia is an outside room partially inclosed with a low wall or balustrade and is protected with a roof. A loggia has an entrance to the house either through a door or window, but there is no outside entrance to the loggia. Well those north shore fellows enjoyed their after-dinner Havanas in these fresh-air parlorers until the mosquitoes became too intimate, then it used to be necessary to retire to their inner sanctums or lose all peace of mind. But they studied the screen problem and some of them must have been inventors of a high order, because mosquito discouragers have grown in variety each year until you can find something interesting in screen work in connection with almost every new house. Cement is growing in popularity as a building material in that section. It PORCH KITCHEN 11'0"X10'0" PANTRY 3'0"X6'4" CL. BATH 7'0"X7'6" PASS CL. CL.

PORCH 21'0"X8'6" Floor Plan looks well, is lasting and it is easily worked into any artistic design that these aesthetic fellows want. But they soon found that tight-fitting porch screens and fancy curved beams and odd-shaped piers or columns were not compatible, so they commenced making the lines straight and plumb and to depend on size and proportions to illustrate a chosen design deemed by them most suitable for the location. My belief is that a plain, straight, square house with a porch 'design to match looks better than any possible fancy creation and the screens may be fitted easily and accurately. The latest wrinkle is to embed a grooved screen guide in the soft cement when the columns are being built. These frames contain two grooves which are fitted with removable stops similar to a window frame --- The screen frame is made very much like a window sash and is fitted in the same way between the stops but there is only one pair of stops and no jamb. Some of those outdoor rooms have glazed sash to take the place of the screens when cold weather comes in the fall. One man has a hot water radiator in his loggia so he can use it all winter and he keeps house plants there. He has a good cellar wall under it so there is no danger of freezing. Writing about fly screens reminds me that there are different kinds and prices. It is well to remember: this it that it pays to get the best. It is no more work or expense to make and fit screens having fine enough mesh to keep the insects where you want them. Then you can divide the house and give them the outside. In building the little bungalow here illustrated a good deal can be made of the bungalow porch by screening it off in the manner described. A great many of these four-room bungalows are being built as suburban residences and also at summer resorts. People are paying more attention to the quality of such buildings because they are used for a longer time. Years ago it was customary to put up a shack in the wilderness and tiv in it for three or four weeks in the middle of summer. But now people build small, compact little houses within easy reach of a railway station. The families occupy them for six or eight months and the man of business goes to the city in the morning and back at night. If the house is built right as it should be the family dread to leave it when winter comes and some of them live the year round at places not especially accessible when the snow is on the ground. The size of this little house is 25% feet in width by 38 feet in length. The shape of the roof is such that two or three bedrooms could be finished off in the attic as required. There is not much to be said in regard to the plan except that the house is solid, neat and compact and satisfactory for a small family as it now is. The design is calculated to be expansive if in after years a person should want to use the upstairs. Of course such houses should be built with good cellars. A cellar costs but little money when building and it is better to make a foundation in this way even for a house that is intended only for summer use. QUITE SPOILED THE ROMANCE Impressionable Young Woman Entirely too Early in Jumping to a Conclusion. The impressionable young woman was loitering at the front window when she noticed a man and a woman at the street corner talking together earnestly and volubly. The man's head was inclined and he was looking at the ground. The woman was gazing straight at him. "Oh, Auntie," cried the young woman. "Just see that! Perhaps they are parting forever. I know it is serious. See how her breast heaves with emotion." The unimpressionable maiden aunt regarded the scene for a moment and then said in a matter-of-fact way: "She's probably drumming into his head she wants him to do. And that isn't emotion her breast is heaving with. 'It's asthma, and she can't breathe right.'" The impressionable young woman drew back, shocked at the idea that asthma could make people act in emotional manner. But the aunt had opened the windows of the room preparatory to dusting, and they heard a thin, piping voice from the street say: "And remember, Fred, be home early." "One of the most beautiful smiles ever seen upon the face of mortal suffused itself on the countenance of Lord St. Orville as he fell at the feet of Julia in a deathlike swoon." You probably suppose that this sentence is an extract from some schoolgirl's novelette. But, in fact, it comes from a novel which 80 years ago was seen on the tables of most people of taste and culture. That is the style which was delectable in the brave days of old. You Look Prematurely Old To Enjoy the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the World and the Commendation of the most eminent physicians it was essential that the component parts of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna should be known to and approved by them; therefore, the California Fig Syrup Co. publishes a full statement with every package.

TORE HIS SKIN OFF In Shreds—Itching Was Intense— Sleep Was Often Impossible. Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks. "At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. I tried several doctors and used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I settled down to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks' time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. I have had no trouble of this kind since. H. A. Krutskoff, 5714 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill., November 18 and 28, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp., Soie Prope., Boston. ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN No Doubt In the Baggageman's Mind as to Contents of What Looked Like Coffin. In an emergency the manufacturer of Limburger cheese was forced to use strategy with a shipment. Ordinarily his product went in special cars, but in this instance no car was available and the order must be filled. Two hundred pounds of the fragrant compostible was put in a rough, oblong box, and taken to the railroad baggageroom. Then the manufacturer bought a ticket for himself and the box, and entered the train. At the first stop he went ahead to the baggage car to see that there was no trouble. He stood by the box in a disconsolate attitude and shaded his eyes with his hand. The baggagemen was sympathetic. "A relative?" he asked. "Yes," answered the manufacturer, "it is my brother." "Well," said the railroad man, philosophically, "you have one consolation. He's dead, all right."—San Francisco Argonaut. Mutual Surprise. A mission worker in New Orleans was visiting a reformatory near that city not long ago when she observed among the inmates an old acquaintance, a negro lad long thought to be a model of integrity. "Jim!" exclaimed the mission worker. "Is it possible I find you here?" "Yassum," blithely responded the backslider. "I's charged with stealin' a barrel o' sweet pertaters." The visitor sighed. "You, Jim!" she repeated. "I am surprised!" "Yassum," said Jim. "So was I or I wouldn't be here!"

A JUSTIFIABLE EXPRESSION. Inexperienced Caddie (after Mr. Toozle's fifteenth miss)—Shall I make the 'ole a big bigger, sir? As the Boy Saw the Lesson. Prof. Charles Zeublin of the University of Chicago was discussing at a dinner the greatest paintings of the world. "The legends that are beautiful and immortal," he said, "have in them turths that we all, according to our kind, take home. This is true in likeness of immortal works of art—pictures, poems, songs. For different people they have different messages. For instance, in my native Pendleton some of the mothers used to cut the children's hair. They did it with shears and a bowl. The operation was often painful, and the result was never elegant. "In Sunday school a Pendleton teacher once told her pupils the tragic story of Samson and Deliah. Then she turned to a little boy: "What do you learn, Joe,' she said, 'from the Samson story' "It don't never pay,' piped Joe, 'to have a woman cut a feller's hair.'"—Cincinnati Enquirer.

One thing certain is that the Emmanuel movement cannot stop the pervading disposition of man to put up an argument. A new kind of flea has been discovered in California.

Since this country set up in business as an independent nation its gold mines have yielded more than three billion dollars. It takes the American hen about six years to furnish eggs and chickens worth that much. Going barefoot seems to be growing less popular in the West Indies than it used to be. During the last fiscal year the United States exported more than two and a half million pairs of shoes to these islands, one-third as many as the exports to the whole world. Early in the new year another battleship will be added to the navy. It will be called the Delaware in honor of Maryland's little neighbor on the east.

N. MILLER, Editor. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank clerk in Elyria, O., who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of gulf would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdolings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit-was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge adivsed the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Said an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply candy crazy and, of course, eating nothing substantial makes her pale, if not downright yellow." Said the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abhor the stuff! It is herold treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self-denial.
