THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT KANSAS COLORED WOMAN'S CLUBS Have A Splendid Session in Atchison Kansas. A Good Showing By Mrs. Luella White, of Wichita, Special Reporter TWELTH YEAR KANSAS C WOMA Have A Splendid S Kansas. A By Mrs. Luella White, of Atchison, Kans, June 15-10. The Tenth Annual Session of the Federation of Women's Clubs met at True Eleven Hall, 6th & Santa Fe Streets on the above date, Mrs. T. W. Bell of Leavenworth, presiding. Prayer was offered by the Chnplain and song by the Federation followed. They then listened to the address of welcome delivered by Mrs. Wm. Smothers of Atchison, which was ably responded by Mrs. W. A. Jackson of K. C. Miss. Roy of Atchison sang a solo which was well rendered. The minutes of the last annual session were read by Miss. J. P. Henderson of Leavenworth. The choir then appointed a committee on credentials. The department work of the clubs was then taken up and opened by excellent papers and responses Prominent among these was the department of Art, led by Mrs. J. J. Lewis of K. C. followed by other splendid papers on the subject by Mrs. T. Cox of Wichita Mrs. H. Rowley of Newton and Mrs. Wm Norman, of Leavenworth. A piano selection by Mrs, Romena Brown of Leavenworth, then followed. Afterwhich Miss. Nellie Wilson of K. C. K. read a good paper on "The Influence of Art in Home." Mrs. Will H. Jones of Wichita, read a paper on the Art of Cooking which was well received. The president then appointed the following as press representatives: Miss. Mary Jordan of Topeka for the Plaindealer and Mrs. Lulla White of Wichita, for the Searchlight. Adjourned to meet at 2:30 p.m. The afternoon session was called promptly at 2:30 o'clock and Mrs. D. Shearce of Topeka read an able paper on "Civics" which was well reponded to by Mrs. F. K. Dauglas of K. C. Miss. Pearl Hayden of Leavenworth and Mrs. R. Boone of K. C. Mrs. Paul Jones rendered a beautiful vocal solo which was hearty recieved and she responded to the applause with an encore. Another excellent paper was read by Miss. Anna Shepherd of Leavenworth entitled "The Love of the Beautiful." This was followed by a pretty piano solo by Mrs. Mary Goree of Newton. Mrs. Geo. M. Brown of Junction City had for her subject "Our Women" which was one among the best theae it had been our privilege to hear it showed a very careful study. "Lifting as Climb" was the subject of Mrs. A. L. Patton of K. C. this was well recieved. Miss. Jessie Ewing of K. C. in a piano solo gave one of her most brilliant numbers, showing her to be a very accomplished pianist. A few remarks from "Our Past President" was made by the only two present, Miss. Lulu P. Harris of Topeka and Mrs. Dyson of K. C. who was the first president of the Federation. We then listened with pleasure to the reading of the report of corresponding Secretary which demonstrated the fact that she was thoroughly proficient in her work. The report of the Executive Board was read and reeived by items then came the little wonder of Wichita, Marguerite Sanford, who favored the Federation with one of her choicest piano selections and was heartily ecored. The rest of the time was then spent in inspecting the work of Art in various booths. It was indeed a hard matter to decide which booth was the prettiest or which had the best and most experience work, as all of them were very beautiful. Each booth represented hundreds of dollars and every piece of work done by the Kansas women of our race. As we looked over the work we thought of what a success our people will have achieved fifty years hence, if me go on at rate we begun less, than fifty years ago, it is truely wonderful. We viewed with pleasure the beautiful hand painted china the exquisite laces and embroidery work, the leather and brass work also the hand carved work. It was, indeed, a revelation of the genious of Kansas women. On Wednesday morning Miss. Ora Jordan of Salina, Chairman of department of music carried out a most excellent program as follows: Vocal Solo Miss, L. Ware of Topeka Piano Solo Mrs. J. D. Brown of K. C. Reading by Miss Olda Anderson Vocal Solo Mrs. Wm. Cole, of Newton Piano Solo by Miss. Carrietta Edwards of Topeka Reading by Mable Gleed of Lawrence. The Federation then listened to the annual address of president. This was followed by a Vocal Solo by Mrs. S. Montgomery of Leavenworth. Then came the reception and introductions, during which time Mrs J. L. Harper and Mrs. Estella Patton of Wichita, delighted the audience with an excellent duet, accom panied by Marguerite Sanford, and they responded to the encore with another beautiful number. This concluded the first day's session. On Thursday morning after devotional exercise, the department of Education tood up its work with Mrs. A. L. Patton of —TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE BAND— PROF. N.

Arkansas Vallev lodge No. 21, Princess Chapter No. 12 and Mt Olive Court No. 9, have accepted the invitation of the Masons of Newton and will go to that city on Sunday, June 26th. to take part in the big Masonic demonstration on that day. The Masons of Newton are doing some good work in that city and should be encouraged in their effort. JUNE 25 1910. IN A SORRY FLIGHT. When ever any individual, man or woman, gets to that place in life where he or she believes that they are sole repository of all the intellect, wisdom and knowledge of any community; indeed, that individual is in a very, very sorry plight and is to be more pitied than laughed at. In these days of almost universal intelect and with the unprecedented spread of knowledge and in this country and, especially in Kansas, who prides herself upon the multipileity of her school houses and the high intellectual standing of her people, it is a thing almost inconceivable to the average mind of thought that any individual should permit themselves to be so very narrow of mind as to as sume or desire to assume that role of "intellectual suporiorty" Men and women of sound judgment and sane forethought do not venture to such a depth of unreason, but they are content to push their way forward on the good old ship of merit. Men of public life in these days realize that if they are to succeed permanently and substantially, that they must make that success upon the merit of their shown and proven ability in their trade or profession. Mush-room or forced popularity is dangerous, if not for any other reason than that it is forced and does not represent that free and open acknowledgement of merit and fitness, so essential to a healthy and lasting success. Wise men and women of today who are in public pursuits do not force themselves upon the public, like a house were on fire, neither do they show a craying for publicy too soon, if at all. They are aware that public leadership and public popularity, is a thing which can only be held upon one's merit and upon merit alone, and until they have estab lished that merit, they wisely flinch from coming too prominently or too often in the limelight of publicity, knowing full well that any forced attention for unmerited popularity or unmerited leadership will always be resented by the public two-fold. As a judge of one's fitness and as a lavish distributor of merit marks, the public, is liberal and un stinted and that man or that woman who is willing to and does abide his time and awaits the award of the public is the men and women who are today holding the positions of hon or and trust. Any man or woman who is so anxions for public leakership as to force for themselves supposed popularity, and whether they merit it or no, will find ere long that he will have a frowning public to meet frowns of contempt will be something of some note. Let merit win. Eagle's Advice Resonted. In an editorial previous to the meeting of the national Negro committee which held its second annual conference in New York from May 12 to 14 inclusive the Brooklyn Daily Eagle deplored the idea that politics should receive any consideration. It says this is the view which Dr. Booker T. Washington holds and futur says that it is time NO.11 enough for the Negro to look after his political rights. Time enough is right now. We have already been too lenirnt with those who are under oath to see that the law is administered to all citizens without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. The Negro wants his full manhood rights under the constitution of nothing. This is no time for race to halt in its contention for a square deal and equal opportunity as other men have. The Eagle's advice, to our way of thinking, is cowardly and sneaking. No such sentiment sets tamely upon the stomach of any Negro except he be of the bought up kind. We do not appreciate any man who attempts to curtail our rights. Ex. NEGROES TO Buy Steamship Seattle, Wash., -The steamship Rupert City, which was on the run between Seattle & Prince Rupert, B.

DIVER IN DRESS DESCENDING TO THE PEARL BED. DIVER IN DRESS DESCENDING TO THE PEARL BEDS THE DEEP SEA DIVER IN DRESS, READY TO DESCEND HE HISTORY of the pearl and pearl fisheries in America begins with the discovery of the western world by Columbus, who wrote glowing accounts to Queen Isabella of the beautiful necklaces and bracelets of pearls which he found the Indians of the Gulf of Paria and Cariaco in Venezuela wearing and which they so eagerly exchanged for broken bits of gaudily decorated Valencian plate. In the account of his third voyage in 1498 he wrote that on en HE HISTORY of the pearl and pearl fisheries in America begins with the discovery of the western world by Columbus, who wrote glowing accounts to Queen Isabella of the beautiful necklaces and bracelets of pearls which he found the Indians of the Gulf of Paria and Cariaco in Venezuela wearing and which they so eagerly exchanged for broken bits of gaudily decorated Valencian plate. In the account of his third voyage in 1498 he wrote that on entering the Gulf of Paria "the na- tives came to the ship in countless numbers, many of them wearing pieces of gold on their breasts and some with bracelets of pearls on their arms—which they informed me were to be procured in their own neighborhood." As evidence of the truthfulness of his statements he sent the queen an immense pearl of exquisite orient, weighing over 300 grains, taken from these waters. When Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513, he found the Indians along the shores of the Gulf of St. Michael (now the Bay of Panama) collecting pearls from oysters washed ashore during violent storms, as well as diving for them a short distance from the shore. When Hernando Cortez in 1526 discovered Lower California he found the natives wearing many beautiful pearls taken from the waters of the Gulf of California. History tells us that when Montezuma alighted from his regal palanquin, "blazing with burnished gold and overshadowed by a canopy of gaudy featherwork powdered with jewels and fringed with silver," to grant audience to Cortez, his cloak and golden-soled sandals were sprinkled with pearls and other precious jewels. The pampered favorites of the rulers of Egypt and Rome valued their precious pearls from the Indies no more highly than did the Indian women of the Aztecs of Mexico or the Incas of Peru. When the king of Spain made Hernando de Soto governor of Cuba with commission to conquer Florida the latter penetrated into the country of the Yueckes along the Savannah river in Florida to their chief village, Cufitatchiqui, where he found their queen wearing great strings of pearls. The queen in welcoming the Spanish explorer to the hospitalities of her nation even removed one of the most beautiful of her pearl necklaces and threw it around his neck. Thus the Spaniards were not disappointed in their expectations of finding pearls among other treasure they sought to obtain from the natives of the new world, and such adventurers as Ponce de Leon, Panfilo de Navarez, Cabeca de Vaca, Hernando de Soto, Coronado, and numerous others were lured on by this hope. A member of Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition collected from the natives of Virginia over 5,000 pearls, of which he chose "as many as made a fayre chaine," and the Indians of the Mississippi wore bracelets and earrings of fine pearls, which, as Father Louis Hennepin wrote, "they gave us to understand they received in exchange for their calumms from natives inhabiting the coast of the great lake to the southward, which I take to be the Gulph of Florida." For the sake of comparison of the principal pearl fisheries of the Americas with those of the old world, both as to wealth of production and methods employed, a short description of the oldest and richest fisheries in the world, those of Ceylon, is given. These are located in the Gulf of Manar, off the western shore of Ceylon and to the south of the island of Manar and on the Madras side near Tinnevelly. The Macedonians of Greece obtained pearls from the Persian Gulf and the Ptolemies' slaves worked the fisheries of the Red sea from where, undoubtedly, the famous pearl came that Cleopatra is supposed to have ground up and drunk in wine to her lover. The old methods employed on the Ceylon fisheries and which continued up until a few years ago are the most interesting. The pearl oyster beds are under the supervision of government inspectors, who regulate the fishing. When a bed is to be fished over, announcement of the fact is published beforehand, the season usually beginning the first part of March and continuing from four to six weeks, according PEARL FISHERIES OF THE AMERICAS to the condition of the bed. Fishing boats and divers from the neighboring coasts of Malabar, native Indians, Malays, Arabs, Polynesian and pearl merchants by the thousands from all parts of India assemble shortly before the appointed day until as many as 25,000 people are gathered on the fishing grounds. At midnight, when the wind freshens, the boats start for the banks in groups of 50 to 70, so as to arrive there before sunrise. Each boat carries from ten to twelve divers, who work in pairs, one diving while the other tends the signal line, and who relieve each other from time to time. At sunrise a signal gun is fired and the fishing begins. The diver usually carries a stone or other weight of about 50 pounds attached to the haul line to facilitate his rapid descent, and in addition carries a basket made fast to the girdle about his waist in which he places the oysters as found. Some divers working in shallower water use no weight in descending, but while at work at the bottom make good use of both hands and feet to seize upon and wrench loose any oyster seen within the limited area over which they can work. The diver who works without diving apparatus and who is called a "head diver," working in from 35 to 45 feet of water, which is the average, can make from 40 to 50 descents in a morning and can bring up from 15 to 30 oysters each trip. The native Indian, Malay and Polynesian divers remain under from 50 to 80 seconds, according to the depth at which they are working, but some can stand a much longer submergence. At the firing of another signal gun about noon the diving is suspended and the boats race ashore and beach, ready for unloading. On their arrival there the oysters are carried into the government corral and there piled into three heaps, each boat's load being kept separate, the government taking two heaps or two-thirds of the catch and the remainder being divided among the divers and the crew, the divers usually receiving the largest portion. There are about 4,500 divers at work, the daily catch averaging 1,000,000 oysters, which are often found clustered closely together. The government's share is then auctioned off by the inspector in lots of 1,000 and usually bought up by small merchants, divided into smaller lots, and resold. The true Indian diver never descends without first providing for attack against sharks or other dangerous fish by invoking immunity through the shark charmer's incantations, a hereditary endowment among the East Indians, one of these charmers usually accompanying each boat. Aside from this danger, which in these waters, however, is comparatively small, the diver working under a tropical sun and exposed to rheumatism and often paralysis is usually a short-lived man. Up until a few years ago this was the NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN PACIFIC OCEAN SOUTH AMERICA THE WHITE DOTS SHOW THE LOCATION OF THE PRINCIPAL PEARL THE CALIFORNIA DAM method employed in gathering pearls, and the British government of India derived a revenue of from $300,000 to $750,000 annually from the product of these fisheries, but for the last few years they have been operated by an English corporation under a 20-year lease for a stipulated sum per year, in addition to the proper care and cultivation of the beds under government supervision. The pearl shells from these waters are as large as those of Ceylon, but run from 6, to 7,000 to the ton. The true pearl oyster, Meleagrina of the Indian and south Pacific oceans, varies in diameter from two to eight inches, according to age, six inches being average. One diver working with helmet a air pump can secure as many as 15,000 oysters in a season. The greater part of the shell from the La Paz fisheries is shipped to San Francisco but 10 to 15 minutes, while in 50 feet of water he might be seen moving about on the bottle for several hours. The world has never known richer pearl fisheries than those of Ceylon. The pearls of finest orient and color come from these waters and the mother-of-pearl shell is the largest and most iridescent. It was from here that La Pellegrina came, said to be the finest and most perfect pearl in existence and which weighs 112 grains, as well as most of the crown pearls of European royalty. For centuries the Indian princes have amassed great wealth in pearls and those of the Rana of Dholpur were valued at $7,500,000. The most extensive pearl oyster grounds of the world are situated on the northern and western coasts of Australia. The richest pearl fisheries in the Americas at the present time are those of the Gulf of California, centering around La Paz and along the outer coast of Lower California in Mexico. These fisheries were discovered by Hernando Cortez when he marched across Mexico in 1526. The principal beds are near La Paz, in the Gulf, Espiritu Santo, Lorenzo Point, off the island of Cerrabro, Los Coyotes and Mulege bay, and, in fact, along the entire west coast of the Gulf of La Paz to above the island of Loreto and Tiburon, on the east side. In addition to those found along the outside coast of Lower California, pearl oyster beds are found at points along the southern coast of Mexico and Nicaragua. Cortez and the Spaniards after him obliged the Indians to work the La Paz beds and to give one-tenth of their catch to the church and one-tenth to the crown. The beds were soon depleted and later abandoned. Over fifty years later, after having recuperated, fishing was renewed, and it is said that a Spaniard who later worked them took yearly from them 300 to 500 pounds of pearls, which he packed on mules and sold by the bushel. Up to 30 years ago "buzos de cabeza," or head divers, only were employed, but on the revival of the fisheries about this time modern diving apparatus was introduced and today they are being worked under concession by San Francisco firms, who employ from 800 to 1,200 men and a number of run schooners, which collect the oysters from smaller boats working on the beds and carry them to the companies' sheds on shore, where they are opened and the pearls found sorted by passing them through small brass sieves of graded sizes. In the gulf the season commences in July and continues to October, but while along the unprotected outer coast it commences earlier, in March, it is terminated by the hurricanes that sweep this coast in June. Most of the diving is done by divers using the most improved diving apparatus, helmet and air pumps, and is carried on in from 40 to 120 feet of water, an average depth being 60 to 80 feet. The work can only be continued from 3 to $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours at a time, due to the tide, which along this coast has a maximum variation of over 20 feet, creating currents that make it impossible to work for more than $1\frac{1}{2}$ hours before and one-halt to two hours after the turn of the tide. One of the great dangers of working at the bottom when a strong current is running is the risk of being carried far from the boat on rising in an exhausted condition, in the case of the head diver, or of injury by being driven against some sharp jutting rock or coral formation on which the life line might catch fast. The divers take little or no food into their stomachs before commencing work, as this would hinder deep breathing and make them more liable to cramps. A diver wearing 25 pounds of lead on each shoe, rubber garments and brass helmet to which are attached air tubes, signal cord and life line can remain at the bottom from one-half to three hours, according to the depth at which he is working. The pressure is so great at 120 feet that he usually remains under YOUNG OYSTERS ARE RAISED but 10 to 15 minutes, while in 50 feet of water he might be seen moving about on the bottom for several hours. The pearl shells from these waters are not as large as those of Ceylon, but run from 6,000 to 7,000 to the ton. The true pearl oyster, the Meleagrina of the Indian and south Pacific oceans, varies in diameter from two to eight inches, according to age, six inches being the average. One diver working with helmet and air pump can secure as many as 15,000 oysters in a season. The greater part of the shell from the La Paz fisheries is shipped to San Francisco, while most of the pearls go to Mexico City and Paris. In 1908 the production of these fisheries was valued at $5,000,000, the pearls representing $3,000,000 and the mother-of-pearl shell the balance. According to Dr. George F. Kunz, one of the world's greatest authorities on pearls, a pearl of the first water should possess a perfect skin, fine orient or delicate texture, be free from specks or flaws, and be of a translucent white color, with a subdued iridescent sheen. It should also be perfectly spherical, or, if not, of symmetrical pear shape. White or pink pearls are the finest, owing to their delicate sheen. Sometimes the outer layer can be removed, the subjacent surface revealing a finer skin than the outer one, and in this way a pearl may be improved. The Lower California pearls are of a great variety of shapes and color, round, pear shaped, button pearl or flat on one side, baroque, or pearl of irregular shape, and in color ranging from white and pink to blue, green, brown and black. Some very famous pearls of history have been taken from these waters. With hardly an exception there are American pearls among the crown jewels of every ruler of Europe. In 1898, at the world's fair in Paris, there was exhibited a set of seven black pearls from these Mexican fisheries, valued at $22,000 at that time, and today worth much more. One of the largest pearls ever found here was sold in Paris to the emperor of Austria for $10,000, and the Spanish government presented Napoleon III. with a black Mexican pearl valued at $25,000. In Venezuela the principal oyster beds are located around the island of Margarita, which word in Spanish means pearl, and at Cubagua, El Tirano, Gulf of Paria and Coro, Porlamar, Maracapana and Macanao, so that this part of Venezuela became known to the early Spaniards as the Pearl coast. Of the Pearl islands of Panama bay, Rey island is the largest of the group. The only village of any size among these islands is San Miguel, as old as the fisheries themselves, the tower of its little masonry church being thickly inlain with beautiful nacreous shells from the fishing grounds on all sides. From the United States and Canada come the fresh-water pearls, which are produced principally by the Union, a species of mussel common to all the mountain streams throughout the country, although a pearl may be found in any mollusk having a nacreous interior lining. Pearls have been brought to the New York market from almost every state in the Union and Canada, principally from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee and Mississippi. --- Libly's Vienna Style Sausage Libly's Food Products is distinctly different from any other sausage you ever tasted.

Didn't Know the Purpose. Mark Twain, as an example of unconscious humor, used to quote a married woman who said one day in the late spring: "My husband is the dearest fellow. Jim,' I said to him this morning, 'are you very hard up just now?' "I certainly am hard up,' he replied soberly. 'This high cost of living is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do.' "Then, Jim,' said I, 'I'll give up all thought of going to the country for July and August this year.' "But the dear fellow's face changed, and he said: "Indeed, then, you won't, darling. I thought you wanted to buy a hat with an algrette or some such foolishness. No, no, my darling—lim can always find the money to let his dear little wife go to the country."

A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food That Cured Her "When I first read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says a woman in Sallisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells them by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food."

There is a wonderful difference in this world between the house that is simply a place to live in, with four walls and a roof, and the house which is a real home. The difference is not so much in the house itself as in the combined effect or union of the house with its surroundings. There are certain styles of architecture that seem to blend naturally with shrubs, vines and flowers. With such a house any work done along the lines of amateur landscape gardening seems worth while, for every nook and corner of the yard, every flowering shrub and every tree throwing out its wide branches seems to add to the cozy, homelike appearance of the place. This is one of the surest tests we have of excellence in architectural design. Some houses never seem to be at ease or in accord with the site on which they are built. Every effort to improve and beautify the grounds serves only to bring out the more strongly the plain awkwardness of the house itself, which is of necessity the very heart and center of the whole structure. A well-designed residence, on the other hand, I care not whether it is a little four-room cottage costing but a few hundred dollars or a splendid residence costing many thousands, seems to harmonize and blend with its natural surroundings. In this connection it may be remarked that the use of cement plaster has done perhaps more to bring about this desired union between the house and grounds than any other building material. The sand, cement, and gravel from which the plaster is made being from earth products seem naturally to harmonize with lawns and shrubbery. What could be more pestful and inviting than the cool, silver gray, the natural cement color, contrasting with the green of a well- kept lawn and gleaming out from behind the shading trees? Such a house will need no very large amount of shrubbery decoration. The mistake is too often made of doing too much planting about a house, completely hiding its own beauties with dense hedges and trees planted so close that their shades completely shuts out the sunlight, keeping the house damp and cold. It is not only bad for the house itself, but it is bad PORCH KITCHEN 9'6"X11'0" BINK PORCH 10'0"X6'6" DANTRY 4'6"X11'0" D'NING RM. 11'0"X18'0" NOOK GREAT LIVING RM. 14'0"X14'6" PORCH. 18'6"X18'0" First Floor Plan landscape gardening. A smooth, well-mowed lawn for the front yard, a group of shrubbery and some flowers to the side and one large tree in the background make a setting that will bring out the natural beauties of the house itself, making an inviting, home-like place and one that can be easily kept up. The house design shown in connection with this is an ideal one for suburban building, where amateur landscape gardening of a modest nature can be had. It is a cement plaster, story-and-a-half house, with green shingled roof and green trimmings --- around doors and windows and in the gables. Its entire width is only 26 feet 6 inches, so if placed well back on a 50-foot lot a good space would be left on each side for shrubs and flowers, and more important than these things of mere beauty, plenty of light and air would reach the room having the side exposure.

WINDOW GLASS AND HEALTH Opticians See Great Curative Powers In the "Weathered" Panes of Old Houses. If you have an old window in your house, or a house full of old windows, don't grow impatient of seven-by-nine panes of glass, but treasure them as a precious heirloom, for window glass "weathered" by a century or so of time is looked upon, especially if it has taken on an amethyst tint, as a boon to health, and people who cannot sit by their own fireside and gaze through it are buying it in the form of spectacles. Old glass of this complexion is being sought by opticians, and the old houses of Philadelphia are being shorn of their windows, it is said, to satisfy the demand upon New York for colored glass purported to have curative powers. The colored-glass-and-beathing theory has run through an interesting career. It was once blue glass of vivid hue that found its way into an occasional window pane behind which a hopeful invalid thought to prosper. Yellow glass has been given some place with the same idea of the value of its rays. Red has held out the promise of salvation to some, while the insanity of others has been charged against it. Blue spectacles gave way to "smoked," and "smoked" to brown; and the change to amethyst can only be looked upon as a happy one—especially if the amethyst has come with the kindly touch of time to an inheritance from two or three generations back. A Literal Fate. "What's become of Jakes, "He's gone all to pieces." "You don't say so! Nervous prostration?" "No; he looked for a gas leak with a lighted candle. "Dulcimer Jane" Ann Roswell came out of the post office with the weekly newspaper in her hand and turned down the snowy lane that led to her home. A woman, wrapped in a large Paisley shawl and with her arms full of packages, panted behind her. "Mercy me, Ann Roswell, how fast you do walk! Can't you slow down so's I can catch up with you?" Ann turned and waited until the other woman came abreast of her; then she fell into step with the other's slow pace. "How's your rheumatism, Sarah? Jacob said last night he guessed you'd be laid up for the winter." Sarah Ely smiled good-naturely. "The winter's well along and I don't laid up yet. Jacob's been croaking for the last three years about that rheumatism! I guess I'll be able to trot around and wait on him for some time to come yet. How's Dulcimer Jane?" "Who?" demanded Ann Roswell, fiercely. Mrs. Ely's florid face paled and a frightened look came into her little eyes. "For the land! I didn't mean any harm—honest I didn't, Ann! Only folks will call her that—and somehow it slipped out. I'm real sorry." There was genuine contrition in her voice and manner. "Who calls her that?" asked Ann Roswell in a strangled voice. "Everybody in Little River. I think old Mrs. Roe began it when Jane wouldn't have Jimmy Roe. The old lady said as how Jane didn't want to do anything except eat strawberries and cream and play on the dulcimer!" Ann walked slowly toward the shabby old house. "It's a disgrace—it is!" muttered Ann, intensely, and then she hastened around to the back door as if suddenly impelled by some long-delayed purpose. She removed her overshoes and wraps in the warm, tidy kitchen and went into the sitting room where the bright sun poured relentlessly on worn brussels carpet and dusty old-fashioned furniture. Books and newspapers, catalogues and magazines were strewn over chairs, tables and sofa. Every available corner of the room was scattered with yellow sheets of music or battered follos. On a small table, placed in the sunny bay window, was a dulcimer, one of those ancient instruments that our grandmothers occasionally played and by them reverenced because of its mention in the holy book. In front of the dulcimer sat Jane Roswell; tall and fair and slender and faded like a pale pink rose. With one hand, she gently waved a small padded stick above the dulcimer and as the stick smoke the metal keys she sang a nigh treble accompaniment to the tinkling notes. "Do you know what folks call you?" she asked, sharply. Jane Roswell looked up with dreamy blue eyes and her slender fingers strayed toward a ragged sheet of music. "Do you know what folks call you, Jane Roswell?" repeated Ann with sudden passion. "They call you Dulcimer Jane'—'Dulcimer Jane'—'Dulcimer Jane.' Do you understand, now?" Jane arose to her full height, and the dreamy light died out of her eyes. A look of pitiful bewilderment took its place. "Why—why do they call me that?" she almost whispered. Ann winced, but her voice did not tremble. "Because you're idle, Jane, and don't do nothing except sing and play on the dulcimer—drat the thing, I say! I don't wonder old Mrs. Roe said what she did!" Ann stopped abruptly at the strange look that came into her sister's eyes. "What did old Mrs. Roe say about me?" asked Jane, coldly. Ann hesitated. "She said—somebody told me just now—she said that you didn't want to do nothing except eat strawberries and cream and play on the dulcimer all day—and so she rickened you 'Dulcimer Jane' and folks have been calling you that for ten years! Sarah Ely just told me all about it." "Mrs. Roe never liked me," announced Mrs. dully. Ann was eager in her sister's defense. "She always was queer. Janey—don't you mind what she said. I expect she was mad because you didn't marry Jimmy. She set a store by him, and he ain't never married yet." Jane flashed a strange smile at her sister. "Jimmy Roe never asked me to marry him," she said at last. "He said he'd like to, only his mother made such a fuss over his coming to see me that he knew it would only mean trouble all around if we was to marry." Ann gasped. "I never knew it, Jane Roswell! And what did you say to him?" "I told him he needn't trouble to apologize, because I wouldn't marry him under any circumstances." Jane's head was held aloft now and her blue eyes sparkled with a spirit they had not held for many years. "But you did care for Jimmy Roe?" remarked Ann with a shrewd glance at her sister. Without one glance at her sister's accusing face, Jane Roswell uttered a bitter cry and ran from the room and afterwards Ann heard her pacing to and fro in the chamber overhead. Later in the day Ann was lured from her work in the kitchen by the smell of smoke. As she ran into the sitting room it seemed strangely bare, while beyond the glass door that opened into the garden a bright fire crackled in a place swept clean from snow. Jane Roswell stood beside the fire piling sheets of music and folios relentlessly on the pyre. And then, when the flames were brightest, she carefully laid her treasured dulcimer on the top and as she did so the little hammer fell with a clattering discord. And so the dulcimer uttered its last plaintive cry. With a little cry of grief Ann threw on her wraps and rushed to the village. This time she passed the postoffice and entered a small white cottage that fanked one side of a large grocery store. It was in this cottage that Jimmy Roe lived alone with his mother. Ann walked briskly to the front door, her thin lips set in a straight line under her sharp little nose. She contrasted the freshly-painted and well-preserved building with her own decaying house, which Jane had indifferently neglected for ten years. It was Ann's money that was spent on the food and clothing, while Jane recklessly expended her portion on books and music. The front door opened and Amanda Roe's bright black eyes stared inquisitively at Ann. "Good morning, Ann Roswell—come in, do! It's a mighty long time since you favored me with a call." She led the way into the warm sitting room and pushed a rocking chair in front of the glowing stove. "Sit down." Ann paused in the middle of the room and leaned against the high back of the rocker with folded arms. "I won't sit down," she said, slowly. "I came to see you on business." "Oh!" Amanda Roe's glance softened. "I hope there ain't nothing the matter with Dulcimer Jane," she said, quickly. "Dulcimer Jane!" Ann's voice was harsh and strained. "You needn't call her that any more, Mrs. Roe! I just heard this morning that you nicknamed Jane years ago and that everybody in the village has called her Dulcimer Jane, and so I told her—and you needn't call her that any more! She burned up all her music books and the dulcimer, too, and now she hasn't got any pleasure at all! I hope you're satisfied!" Ann flung out one mittened hand accusingly. Amanda Roe cowered in her chair and her bright eyes fell to the floor and studied the gay rag carpet. "I didn't mean any real harm," she quavered. "Jane was that proud she wouldn't look at my Jimmy and him breaking his heart all these years, and so patient and kind—no son was ever like him!" "It was before that you made trouble. You never liked my sister Jane. You didn't want Jimmy to marry her, and so he never asked her, and it's Jane who has been breaking her Leart. Put on your shawl and hood and come to the store with me," she commanded, kindly. Amanda Roe obeyed, and together they hastened down the path to the store as if this happiness which had been so long withheld from patient Jimmy Roe might elude them after all. In a ralled enclosure, James Roe was bending over his books. He flushed to the roots of his hair as Ann Roswell appeared beside his mother. "What's the matter, mother? Ann? Is there anything the matter with—Jane?" His voice came sharper than either woman had ever heard it ring. Without a word, James Roe slipped into his overcoat and jammed a hat on his head. A strangely boyish look came into his face as he came out of tue office. "Kiss me and wish me luck, mother," he said, pausing beside the trembling old lady. "Good luck, Jimmy, and ask Jane to forgive me and say I won't take it hard if she don't want to live with me," she whispered. "That will be all right, mother. We'll all live together—eh, Ann?" he said, kindly. "Run along do!" urged Ann. After the door had closed behind Jimmy Roe, the two women left the store to the clerks, and walked back to the cottage. "Don't go home yet, Ann," begged Mrs. Roe at the gate. "I'm awful afraid something might happen yet to spile it all and I do want Jane and Jimmy to be happy now; you can't tell how they'd take it if they was interrupted now!" "I'll come in awhile; I want to get your recipe for graham bread—I hear it's famous." "You can have it and welcome—and we'll talk about Jane's wedding," said Jimmy's mother.

Dainties for June Weddings. Nowadays the various pre-nuptial entertainments are a very important feature of the last weeks before the wedding. A delicious sauce for a vanilla ice cream may be made as follows: Chop the ginger from a pint jar of Canton ginger in small pieces, add the juice of an orange and a tablespoonful of lemon juice, together with the stirup from the ginger jar. A nice luncheon dish for a small party is creamed mushrooms, or sweetbreads, or chicken, served in croustades. These may be easily made by cutting off the tops of rolls, removing the centers, then filling with the creamed mixture. Croustades are made of stale bread, which are very dainty. Cut slices two and a half inches thick, remove the crust, then leaving a half-inch margin all around, cut down to half an inch from the bottom, and scrape out the crumbs in the center. Brush with melted butter and brown in the oven. Just before filling them dip the rims in the beaten white of an egg, then in chopped parsley. This gives them a pretty fringe of green. Sandwiches are always in favor. A sweet one is prepared with grated maple sugar, chopped nuts and a little cream. A crisp, appetizing sandwich is made by adding a slice or two of cucumber to the bread and butter sandwich. Chopped olives make another good filling. Brains Saute. Bread and fry as above; stir into the remaining fat a tablespoon of flour and brown. Add a pint of hot water and two tablespoons of catup. Put the brains back and simmer gently 15 minutes. Serve in a border of rice. Ham Rechauffe. Butter individual custard cups, fill three-fourths full of minced ham that has been heated in a cream sauce, break an egg into each cup, sprinkle with well buttered crumbs and bake until the egg is set. Other meats may be used the same way.

Doing First Things First. There are none of us who enjoy doing hard things very often; but in all housekeeping there is much that is hard and some things unpleasant. A good rule to follow in doing our work is to do the hard tasks first, as we used to do in childhood, with the good things, save the choice bit for the last as we would say: "The last the best of all the game." If one makes it a practise to do the hard task first we do away with the long period of dreading, which is worse than getting right at it. Without a definite planning to do the difficult work first, it is the most natural thing in the world to choose the thing easier or most enjoyable. With a change the revision would make in our lives, the hard work would be more often behind us, finished and done away with, and we free to enjoy much along the way that would otherwise be crowded out, because of the work ahead. The Season for Pineapple. Pineapples are cheaper in May and early June than at any other season, and for that reason the thrifty housewife watches the markets to get low prices and then proceeds to "put up" the delicious fruit in various ways. One needs to remember that pineapple wastes about one-third of its weight in preparation. When it is desired for puddings, ice creams, ices, etc., it is best shredded. When canned to be used as a sauce or preserve, it is cut in cubes. To Preserve Pineapple Remove the skin and eyes. Hold the pineapple in the left hand, with a silver fork begin at the stem end; shred to the core, which is juiceless. Weigh the pineapple after it is prepared, and sprinkle over it three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pound of pineapple. Cook the apple in the sirup thus formed, until the fruit is transparent, then remove the fruit and boil the sirup until thick. Pineapple is very nice served with tapioca and whipped cream. Grape Sherbet. To one cupful of grape juice add the juice of one orange and one lemon, one cupful of sugar, one pint of water and one tablespoonful of gelatine. Moisten the gelatine in a portion of the water, heat the remainder to boiling. Pour over the softened gelatine, add sugar and juice, then freeze. T The tender word forgotten, The letter you did not write, The flower you might have sent, dear, Are your haunting ghosts tonight. Canning Strawberries. The queen of berries should be handled carefully. When picked from one's own garden with care, they need not be washed, but this will not apply to those which come from the city markets. When we think of the hands and clouds of dust through which they have passed we are willing to lose a little of the flavor to be sure they are well cleansed. They should never be left standing in a pan of water in a warm room, or put into a colander where the sand washes down to the bottom layer. Drop a few at a time into a pan of cold water, quickly remove and drain. The sand will drop to the bottom of the pan. More solid berries can be handled less carefully, but raspberries, blackberries and strawberries need careful handling. Granite ware or agate are best for use in preserving. Most fruits keep shape and color better if cooked in a thick sipur. Watery fruits are improved by the addition of a little gelatine which is much preferred to too much sugar. Drop the berries into a heavy sipur of sugar and water, let them thoroughly scald, then fill the cans with the fruit, filling to overflowing with the sipur. In general, moderate heat in cooking is best, for it is more like the natural ripening process, the flavor, shape and color are thus best preserved. When jam is liked, use equal parts by weight of strawberries and sugar; jam the berries and stir in the sugar. Let stand over night, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. In the morning, can cold. Be sure that the cans are well sterilized by heat, then cool in the ice box before filling. The berries canned this way are perfectly delicious to use as a conserve for ice creams and desserts. They will keep all winter if put in a cool, dark place where the temperature is constant. Currants, cherries, raspberries and all fruits that can be jammed and well mixed with sugar keep nicely this way. HE man who rises early may increase his bin and But—goodness—how he gets himself despised by the folks next door." "It is the people who live in it who furnish a house."—Bishop Warren. Something New. How often we hear the housekeeper say: "If it wasn't for the everlasting three meals a day I could accomplish something." It seems to those who study household problems that three meals a day well prepared is an accomplishment for any woman, but of course she needs a change occasionally. If the husband would just remember that she is interested in other things and that, a theater ticket or a bunch of roses would please her more than a cook book, there would be fewer discouraged women. A porch supper or a picnic, when he shares the work, is a bright spot to remember, for all work and no play makes Jill a dull, despondent woman. There are women who absolutely refuse a little outing for one excuse or another, and then wonder why their husbands find them less interesting than other women. Demand a little more, respect yourself and your calling, and above all, keep cheerful, and take an occasional holiday. You owe it to yourself and your family. Household Hints Squeeze a little lemon juice over the beefsteak just before serving. Flavoring extracts should be added to a mixture when cold, if possible, as the steam carries off much of the flavor. When food has "cooked on" a graniteware dish, half fill the dish with cold water, with a little washing soda or soap powder, heat to the boiling point and the dish may be easily washed. What to Have for Summer Breakfasts. During the hot weather months the appetite is so sickle that one cares little for anything heavy in food. Fresh, chilled fruit is always refreshing, then a dish of cereal with cream, a roll and a cup of coffee is sufficient for most. For those who like a heartier breakfast, there are bacon, eggs, chops, omelets and fish. Calves' Brains Breaded Separate the brains into pieces the size of oysters.

Not So Strong Now There are thousands of people in Wichita today who, one year ago, were over enthused for the "Commission" form of government, who are today equallp as strong against it. These people have been convinced that it is not the thing for a city the size of Wichita. It is not the men personally of whom we speak - but it is the form of government. No matter how sincere or honest the Commissioners—it is simply too big a job for so few men. It might work in a hamlet-but not in a city.

Senator Burrows, who is chairman of the committee, however, interpreted the amendment as a reflection and promised there would be no occasion for such direction as the amendment implied.

RECOGNIZES A GOOD WORK EP President Roosevelt Pays Enthusiastic Tribute to Mission Hospitals. In Uganda; Mr. Roosevelt responded to an invitation to open a new addition to the Mengo C. M. S. hospital. Mr. Roosevelt said: "Long before I came here I had known of the work that was being done in Uganda, and felt particularly anxious to see it. Here you have a particularly intelligent native race, which has already developed a very interesting culture of its own, a culture both political and social. And the great work must of necessity be to try to help that race onward, and to try to do it in a practical fashion, and to do it so that the doing of it shall be primarily a benefit to the race, and, secondly, a benefit to your own people from whom you come. "I have the strongest feeling as to the good that is being done by the medical missionary. There must be some visible fruit in the life and work of the man who preaches if his preaching is going to have a very great effect upon those to whom he preaches. That visible fruit can be shown in many different ways, and one of the most efficient ways of showing it is by just such work as is being done in connection with this building, which it will naturally be a source of peculiar pride to myself to have my name associated with, and which I now take pleasure in declaring to be great." Good Scheme. "It's a shame," commented the friend of the restaurant proprietor. "What's a shame?" asked the restaurant man in surprise. "Why, that you should give that pretty wallress all the tough steaks for the patrons at her table." "Oh, I pay her extra for that. You see she is so pretty not one man would kick if the steaks were so tough they pulled his teeth out." Paired. She was an amiable old lady, and villagered much information to the dirt stranger who had come down to see an important event in the country town—the laying of the foundation some of the new church. "Test" prattled the old lady, "that is the duke and duchess, and the suple behind them are the mayor and mayors; and those two to the light are the vicar and—er—vixen."

GET FINE EFFECTS GET FINE EFFECTS CATERERS DO MUCH WITH ICES AND SPUN SUGAR. Wonderful Schemes of Decoration Evolved—Hostess May Have Any Idea Which Particularly Strikes the Moment's Fancy. Ices and Spun Sugar.—Caterers In the world of fashion are achieving wonderful effects in spun sugar, to be used with decorative ices at dinners, luncheons or suppers. The ices are ordered in special forms and can be had to match any color scheme or to carry out any holiday decoration. For a bridal breakfast there are large wedding bells of white spun sugar filled with ices in the forms of Cupids and orange blossoms. Again, the sun sugar is a huge slipper filled with heart-shaped and small wedding bell ices. For a spring luncheon in yellow nothing is lovelier than a great poke bonnet of yellow spun sugar, set on masses of green spun sugar with a broad band-like green ribbon across the crown. This is filled with ices in the form of white lilies, or roses with green stems. This form is passed to each guest, who serves herself to it and some of the spun sugar. For a pink luncheon a huge cornucopia of pink sugar is filled with ices in the shape of big azalea blossoms trailing from a bed of pale green spun sugar. Or it may be filled with real strawberries and vanilla ices molded to resemble strawberry blossoms and foliage. Quick and Easily Made Icing—Cream a lump of butter the size of an egg with two cups of powdered or confectioners' sugar and three tablespoonfuls of cocoa, vanilla and five tablespoonfuls of cold coffee. By using orange juice instead of cocoa and coffee, and orange rind or extract instead of vanilla, a nice orange filling is made. Beat hard and spread on cake layers. Quickly Made Sandwiches Fifteen minutes spent in watching a caterer make up the sandwiches for an evening entertainment yielded some profitable information. With a sharp knife he first cut up all his bread into thin slices, trimming off the crusts from a dozen slices at a time. Then into a bowl of freshly made mayonnaise he stirred the contents of a can of deviled ham. It was the work of a moment to spread this rich paste upon two slices of bread. A slap with the big knife pressed them into a thin wedge and a sharp cut divided the sandwich square in two triangles. Sandwiches for 50 people were made thus in less than half an hour. Strawberry Jelly. Materials: Four pounds hulled strawberries, two pounds of sugar, one lemon. Way of preparing: Mix the strawberries and sugar, place in a porcelain lined kettle, cover and let stand in a warm place for two hours, then place them on the fire and bring them slowly to the boiling point. Skim while cooking. Test by dropping a small quantity of juice on a cold saucer. As soon as the juice shows signs of jelly add the strained lemon juice, boil one minute longer and immediately pour into the jelly glasses. When cold cover with paraffin. Place the covers on the glasses and keep in a cool, dry place. Sponge Dumplings for Soup. One egg, one cupful of water, one cupful sifted flour, a dash each of salt and nutmeg. Separate the egg, beat white into the water and put on stove in granite pan, when hot stir in the flour, stir rapidly until mass leaves sides of pan and looks like putty; let cool, then add other ingredients and stir until smooth (the yolk is stirred in unbeaten). A few minutes before serving a teaspoon and diping it into the hot soup take up small portions of the dough and drop into the soup in the form of little sponges; as they expand very much make the dumplings sma-, let boil a few minutes, then serve. Flavor of Fried Vegetables Most of the stews, soups, braised meats and pot roasts are very much improved If the flavoring vegetables which they contain, such as carrots, turnips, onions, celery or green peppers, are fried in a little fat before being cooked with the meat. This need not complicate the preparation of the meat or increase the number of utensils used, for the meat itself is usually seared over in fat, and the vegetables can be cooked in the same fat before the browning of the meat. Lyllian's Frosted Rice Pudding. One teacup washed rice boiled soft. Put in pudding dish, add grated rind of one lemon, six tablespoons of sugar, yolks of two eggs beaten in one pint of milk, pinch of salt. Bake one hour. Frost with whites of two eggs, one cup powdered sugar, juice of one lemon. Spread on top of pudding when cold and brown in oven. Taploca can be used in same way. Molded Farina. Scald one pint of milk, add to it one cupful of water and sprinkle in three tablespoonfuls of farina and one teaspoonful of salt. When thoroughly cooked and thickened turn out into custard cups and stand away to cool. When cold serve with cream. You Look Prematurely Old BEYOND POWER OF MAN. Gayboye—Men are no good, eh?

Effusive compliments have been paid to Governor Marshall many times, but it remained for an old Irish woman to cap the climax. The governor met her at a funeral which he attended the other day and she was full of reverence for the Indiana executive. "Ah," she said, "an' tis the guv'nor," and she swallowed up the governor's slim right hand in her own hand, made large and muscular by many days of toll. "Yis, 'tis the guv'nor, an' it's glad I am to see ye, guv'nor, an' indade the corpse is honored by your prisince."—Indianapolis News. A Protection Against the Heat.

Conditional Piety. Two Scotch fishermen, James and Sandy, belated and befogged on a rough water, were in some trepidation lest they should never get ashore again. At last Jamie said: "Sandy, I'm steering, and I think you'd better put up a bit of prayer." "I don't know how," said Sandy. "If ye don't I'll chuck ye overboard," said Jamie. Sandy began: "Oh, Lord, I never asked anything of ye for fifteen years, and if ye'll only get us safe back, I'll never trouble ye again, and—" "Whist, Sandy," said Jamie.

The honors paid to Florence Nightingale on her ninety-first birthday serve to recall how brief has been the period during which the sick have had the benefit of the competent nursing on which their recovery so largely depends. It is impossible to conceive of modern medical practise without the aid of trained nurses. Their efficiency has undoubtedly been an important factor in the increased curability of disease. Yet but little more than half a century has elapsed since Miss Nightingale set out for the Crimea on her mission which was to revolutionize hospital work, and it was not until 1872 that the first class of trained nurses was graduated from the Bellevue Training School. From these small beginnings has grown within a generation the great humanitarian profession for women for which they have shown a special aptitude and to which they are attracted in annually increasing numbers. The influence of the woman whom England as also the civilized world honors beyond perhaps all others has extended to every sick room. She gave to the afflicted a new lease of life and to her sex its noblest vocation. Lazy William. "You are advertising for a chauffeur, I see, Mrs. Depayte." "Yes, we had to let William go last week." "I thought you were well pleased with him." "At first we were, but a new broom sweeps clean, you know, and we found that William was lazy. He was fine at washing the windows, spading the garden, pumping the vacuum cleaner, mowing the lawn, tending the furnace, running errands, pressing clothes, sweeping the walks, polishing the floors, olling the furniture, preparing the vegetables, waiting on table and doing the dishes. But he was lazy. He used to go to sleep at midnight regularly, no matter where he was. Many a time Mr. De Payste has left the club for home at two o'clock in the morning and found William snoring in the car outside. Imagine how it must have looked to our friends to see our chauffeur fear asleep in the street!" An Almost Universal Praver "Among the late Bishop Foss' anecdotes about prayer," said a Philadelphia Methodist, "there was one concerning a very original Norristown preacher. "This preacher, in the course of a long prayer one Sunday night, recounted the many misfortunes and evils that had befallen him in the course of his long life. Then, sighing heavily, he prayed: "Thou hast tried me with affliction, with bereavement, and with sorrow of many kinds. If thou are obliged to try me again, Lord, try me with the burden of wealth." Why He Quilt "Bondsonby has given up smoking." "Impossible. He's been a slave to the habit for years." "He's given it up, all right." "Why? Did the doctor order him to do it on account of his nerves?" "No, I don't believe so; but you know that peach of a stenographer he'd had for the past few weeks? Well, I happened to overhear her say one day, when Bondsonby was listening, that she would be as willing to kiss a pig as to kiss a man who was always smoking." How's This?

"Dash had the reputation of being the nastiest-tongued man in the regiment. "It was Private Dash, you know, who, for foraging one evening on a rich estate, came accidentally upon the owner's wife, a grande dame in evening dress. "Dash asked her for food. She refused him. He asked again. But, still refusing, she walked away. "No,' she said, 'I'll give you nothing, trespassing like this! I'll give you nothing. My mind is made up.' "Made up, is it?' said Dash. 'Like the rest of you, eh?' Another Simile. "What did the sun look like to you when you were in the arctic regions?"

The Overland The King of Cars No other car has so large made such amazing records No other car has so large a sale-none has made such amazing records. Price, $1000 up. It requires four factories, employing 4,000 men—turning out 140 Overlands daily—to meet the flood-like demand for these cars. Yet two years ago a hundred rivals had a larger sale. The reason lies largely in the car's utter simplicity. Its able designer made it almost trouble-proof. He created an engine which, for endurance, is the marvel of engineering. He designed the pedal control. One goes forward or backward, slow or fast, by merely pushing pedals. The hands have nothing to do but steer. A child can master the car in ten minutes. A novice can drive it a thousand miles without any thought of trouble. The Overland always keeps going, and almost cares for itself. All the usual complexities have been eliminated. That is why each car sells others, and our orders for this year's Overlands amount to $24,000,000. $1,000 to $1,500.—According to size, style and power MICA maturely A CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER, PRICE, SI. 8Imilarity.
