Brown. 500 Capital Street, Charleston, West Va., has recently invented what he calls a Food Warmer in which resturants and hotels may send out meals to offices, apartments and private residences. It is one of the most simple unique and practical inventions of th edge. The Food Warmer is made in two sizes. The smaller one is designed for workingmen, with a capacity for one or two meals. It can be carried in the hand. The NO.26 REV. SIR FRANK WILSON, C. G. M. larger warmer weights 12 to 15 pounds with a capacity for about twelve meals. It is intended to be used at winter or summer resorts to convey food from the hotel to the cottage. The mechanism of the Food Warmer looks like a tin box with a handle and a door in front. On the inside are several shelves, on which the food in tin or earthenware vessels is placed. Beneath the whole outfit is an alchol or gasoline burner, which will keep the food warm at least an hour without refilling the lamp. The cost of warming for a meal is estimat- HE TOAD OUR BEST FRIEND THERE WERE BLENDED THE NOISES OF A MILLION THROATS NOTHING LIKE AN ACCURATE ESTIMATE COILD BE MADE. NCLLE SAM'S scientists have had more than one good word to say for the toad. Several *government publications have been issued, I am told, telling about the toad and its good work. There is no department in nature which is overlooked by the scientists of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson's department. If it is believed by the experts that any NCLC SAMS scientists have had more than one good word to say for the toad. Several government publications have been issued, I am told, telling about the toad and its good work. There is no department in nature which is overlooked by the scientists of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson's department. If it is believed by the experts that any benefit may come to the people of the United States by the study of the habits of a particular animal, that animal is studied forthwith and studied carefully. In folk lore history and in the history of localities which hardly can be classed as folk lore, the trog and the toad frequently have been confused; sometimes stories have been told of trog visitations and it has turned out that the invading army was composed of toads. The reverse of the statement also has been found to be true on several occasions. Some years ago an army of track-hopping tramp toads took possession of the gravel road bed of the Sioux City and Pacific railway, and in unbroken column miles in length, as the local story had it, the toads marched past the town of Blencoe, Iowa. It is stated that there were so many millions in this mighty army that nothing like an accurate estimate of the toads could be made. The ground was said to be brown with the color of its visitors. If there was such an army of the batrachians as it is said there was it would be no wonder if the residents of the infested district might have feared that the toads would divert their course from the railroad into the towns, to repeat Pharaoh's plague of the frogs, "When the rivers brought forth frogs abundantly, which went up into the houses, and into the bed chambers, and even upon the beds, and upon the people, and even into the ovens and into the kneading troughs." Now the toad is not nearly so handsome a Now the toad is not nee being as is his frog cousin. He never could "a-wooing go" like his green-coated brother, despite the fact that Shakespeare proclaims that his toadship has a jewel in his head. Ugly and venomous, the bard of Avon writes the toad down, and ugly and venomous to the people's mind in many places he is to this day, although in reality he ranks with the birds as one of humanity's best friends. As a matter of fact, it is likely that the brown-skinned army which moved without banners in military array some years ago was on the march to meet the great army of Rocky Mountain locusts which was moving steadily forward in an opposite direction and in General Sherman's words, "Foraging liberally upon the country." Even though the toads are so harmless and helpful, they perhaps will never get anyone to love them. It must be admitted that appearances are against them. The Iowa people who some years ago were visited by the toads had no reason to arrogate to themselves any particular distinction on account of the visitation, for in scores of instances the animals have appeared in immense bodies, and in some cases, without any intention. intention so to do, they have inaugurated veritable reigns of terror. Years ago, in the little Puritan settlement of Windham, Conn., out of which sprang as many notable American families, perhaps, as have come from any other colonial hamlet, a migration of toads led the people to believe that the tocsin of the last day had been sounded, and they were all summoned, sinners and sinless, to answer at the bar of judgment. Tradition says that the migration which brought this fear upon the people was one of the frogs. Scientists of today lean rather to the toad theory, but it made little difference to the frightened populace which species of batrachian brother it was that brought horror into their midst. Now it happened that there lived in Windbana two colonial colonels, big men and dignified, by names Dyer and Elderkin. It may do no harm at this late day to say that both these military titled gentlemen were more fond of good living, so the story goes, than was perhaps exactly consistent with the strictest Puritan thoughts. Some of the elders of the place, it is said, looked a bit askance at some of the views of Colonels Dyer and Elderkin. There were slaves in that day in Connecticut and Windham held its share. One peaceful night in May the Windham families retired at their usual hour, not long after "candle light." At midnight they were wrapped in the profoundest slumber, but no sleep however sound could withstand the roar that broke upon that peaceful hamlet in the watches of the night. There were blended the noises of a million throats. It was guttural, harsh and horrible, and it came out of the jetty blackness of midnight. The people of Windham jumped from their beds panic stricken, threw on what clothes they could, and rushed outdoors, many bearing pine torches, which are little light holes in the inky blackness. The slaves were prostrated with fear and clung to the knees of their masters. The noise ceased not for an instant, but on the contrary increased with every moment, and then, to the added horror of all, the noise found shape in words which one quick-eared, imaginative woman interpreted into this, all but two of the people accepting the interpretation readily: "Judgment day; Judgment day; Colonel Dyer and Elderkin too, and catch a nigger too." It is perhaps needless to say that the only two people among the white inhabitants of LIKE AN ACCURATE ESTIMATE COULD THERE A MIL large "ta toad took --- Windham who did not thoroughly accept the interpretation were Colonels Dyer and Elderkin. In a few minutes the light of the torches showed an immense concourse of toads or frogs, whichever they were, bearing down the main street of the town, croaking and "glucking" like a myriad of night demons. It suddenly struck the people that if Judgment day was at hand, notwithstanding the fact that Colonels Dyer and Elderkin seemed to have been singled out by the visitors, the day of accounting according to the Bible was an all-embracing affair, and threat all the Windham people started trembling violently. There are living today a good many persons who are direct descendants of the Colonel Elderkin whom the batrachians called to judgment that night. In Chicago until recently there lived a Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Norris, a direct descendant of Colonel Elderkin. Mrs. Norris had heard the story of the invasion of the village a score of times from the lips of her grandmother, who as a child was taken time after time to see the place from which the night disturbers came. To the days of their deaths Colonels Dyer and Elderkin were called Frog Dyer and Frog Elderkin, and if local Connecticut authorities are to be believed, there has not been seen from that day to this either a toad or a frog in the meadow and pond from which started that midnight migration. To get away, for a moment, from frogs and toads, and in order to lead back to them again, let it be said that out in Utah the gull is a carefully protected bird. Olive Thorne Miller speaks of them as "great, beautiful, snowy creatures who look strangely out of place so far from the seashore." I have been told that these gulls are sacredly protected by the law and the people of the western state, and I have also been told that the early settlers, the Mormons, believed that the Lord has sent the birds to his chosen people. It is no wonder that it was believed the gulls were specially sent. Clouds of grasshoppers had destroyed the crops in that early day in many of the western territories. They attacked Utah by the million millions. Then it was that the gulls appeared—birds never before seen in that locality within the memory of man. They came in tremendous flocks and devoured without stopping the hosts of the enemy, and they completely saved the crops from destruction. Now the gulls follow the plains like chickens, and in Utah at least, it is said that no one has any desire to raise his hand against them. What the gull was to Salt Lake region the toad was to one section of a northwest Texas county, some time ago. There was but a comparatively small area of the county under cultivation, but the growing things were threatened with destruction by a horde of Rocky Mountain locusts; then there appeared to the astonished gaze of the resident Texans an army of toads, before which in numbers the great army of Xerxes was but as a score. These dismal-looking, warty-backed Hop o'-mythumbs came along as on business bent. They said nothing and they ate grasshoppers. They cleaned up utterly one entire flight of the creatures. And they quietly sat under the cabbage leaves and beet tops to wait for more. They didn't come. The toads had saved the crops, and it may be judged that if one wants to be certain to get in a quarrel he can get it if he will go that section of Texas and malign a toad. Should anyone be inclined to doubt the insect-eating capabilities of a common every-day American toad, let him listen to the evidence of an experimenter, who is at once a scientist and a clergyman, the one fact establishing his accuracy and the other his veracity. This theologe-naturalist, as the record shows, found a toad in his garden and proceeded to make a pet of it. He went to call on master toad one morning about ten o'clock and without knowing how many insects already had fallen before the toad's darting tongue, proceeded to feed him on plant pests. The toad ate readily and greedily twenty-three large squash bugs which were offered him, and then locked up inquiringly for more. The squash bug larder was depleted, so the clergyman turned his attention to caterpillars. Of these hairy, repulsive creatures the toad ate ninety-four, so the story record goes, and then he shut down to hop heavily off to a shady corner to take that rest which it is said aids animal digestion. Now this experimenter tells tales of toads which might appear a bit overdrawn, were not the gentleman's cloth what it is. He took in his experiments with one toad some M --- large "tangle-legged" grasshoppers. Master toad took kindly to this species of food, but owing to to the nature of the insect's legs and their extreme length he found difficulty in swallowing. In order to aid in the process, as soon as he would get a firm grip on the grasshopper he would look for a stick or a stone by means of pushing against which he could force his prey down his throat. Now in order to see what the toad would do if no stone or stick were at hand, all of those articles were removed from his vicinity, and then he was fed another big grasshopper with great knotted legs. Now it must be remembered that the press ent writer is not vouching for this toad story; he is simply setting it down as it has been told by an observer, and if it is a "nature fake" the blame must go elsewhere. The toad, finding he could not swallow the big grasshopper, looked about as usual for a stone and, finding none, he attempted to use the ground as a pusher. He was unable to get the right angle to secure sufficient force, and so as a last and perfectly effective means, he stood on his head and without the least difficulty forced his food down his throat. This toad unquestionably was a wonder. One day, we are told, he happened to find an angleworm of great length. He took hold of one end and succeeded in swallowing about an inch and a half of the worm, which then realizing its danger apparently, wound the rest of its body boa-like around the neck of the toad. This gave the worm leverage enough to enable it to tug away at that part which the toad already had swallowed. The result was that although by a mighty effort the toad could swallow about half an inch, the worm, when the relaxation came, succeeded in withdrawing three-quarters of an inch. The toad saw his breakfast slipping away from him, but his infinite wit came to his rescue. It is said that he sat up like a squirrel took one mighty swallow, and then before the worm could get in its withdrawing work, he pressed his forefeet against his throat and held the swallowed part of the breakfast in place; then, so the story goes, by a series of quick successive swallowing and throat squeezing, the toad soon had the worm in the dark interior where he was needed for breakfast. Toad migrations are not extraordinarily uncommon events. They have taken place in many parts of the country, and once the toads in traveling succeeded in stalling a railroad train on the Canadian Pacific line. The story of this runs to the effect that the wheels crushed the creatures and so greased the rails that progress was impossible for some time. The passengers said that they could have stood the situation more philosophically if the blockaders had been frogs, for then the question of the food supply would have been settled for a lot of hungry people. Frogs' legs make good eating. It is not generally known, perhaps, to the layman that toads, like frogs, lay their eggs in the water. Countless millions of eggs will be deposited in some morass. They hatch out, the young get big enough, and migrate in a body to the dry land, sometimes going long distances as an entity. These, it is said, are the marching armies of toads which astonish people and accounts of which are spread broadcast over the earth. Straw Hats and Autos Straw Hats and Autos "You might scarcely think," said Mr. MacBlink, "that there was anything in common between straw hats and automobiles, but by that way of thinking you'd be surely forgetting their cost of upkeep, in which respect they are strikingly alike. "They say it costs more to keep an automobile than it does to buy one; precisely the same is true of the straw hat. You take my own experience for an illustration. "Early in the season I bought a straw hat for which I paid $2. I know a place where you can get a very good straw hat for that money, and if it hadn't rained all summer I should have been on the straw hat account under no additional expense. "But it always does rain more or less, just as it has done this summer, and as is very well known if a drop of rain gets on a straw hat it is all up. Raindrops on a straw hat will accumulate dust, and then you have to have the hat cleaned, and that costs money; in some places 25 cents; in some 15. "I find by reference to my books that I have paid out this summer in straw hat account for upkeep only $2.30, which is a good deal. While the automobile man has been spending his money for gasoline and things I have been blowing mine for hat cleaning, and it has cost me more to keep that hat going than it cost me originally. "But in this I find some slight satisfaction. In this respect at least I find myself on the same footing with the man who at the beginning of the season bought instead of a straw hat an automobile."

His nature, in- Stimet and education are to be ‘clean and?decent. This with his pleasing warthers and; his clerical knowledge of the business will make him a won derfully strong candidate.

The Warships Were Bombarding the Palace—Republicans Have Army London, Eng.—"Through the courtesy of the director of Le Matin the following statement was given out: "A wireless message has been received by Le Matin stating that revolution has broken out in Lisbon. A warship is now bombarding the palace. It is stated that the army and navy are on the side of the revolutionaries." The Daily Mail further states that King Manuel is a prisoner in the hands of the Republican party and unless the rest of Portugal rallies to him and overwhelms the capital, the house of Braganza will have ceased to reign. It is not yet 2 years since the most tragic royal assassination of modern times laid low King Carlos and the Crown Prince Luise . . . lilie and left the troubled throne of Portugal to the boy, Manuel, who was also slightly wounded in the attack. The royal family including Queen Amerillie, were driving in an open carriage on February, 1908, when at the corner of the prado Do Commercialo and the Rua Do Arsenal a band of men armed with carbines suddenly sprang forward and opened fire. The King and the Crown Prince were each shot three times and lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsenal nearby.

This Will Place the Law in Operation Pending the Appeal to Supreme Court. Topeka, Kansas.—The Bank Deposit Guaranty law will be in effect in Kansas in a day or two unless Judge John C. Pollock in the federal court refuses to obey the mandate of the court of appeals dissolving the injunction. Judge Pollock granted the injunction preventing the further operation of the law, and an appeal was taken to the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Paul, which dissolved the injunction. While the national banks have appealed to the supreme court of the United States for a further hearing in the case, the order dissolving the injunction goes into effect just the same and the law can be put into operation as soon as the mandate becomes a part of the court records. The attorneys for the state, Fred S. Jackson, attorney general; G. H. Buckman and A. C. Mitchell, will go before Judge Pollock in Kansas City and ask that the mandate be ordered spread on the records. There are now 398 banks participating in the guaranty fund.

The law will continue in full force pending the final hearing of the case in the United States supreme court. TO DECIDE INDIAN POLICY Suits Filed in Supreme Court Test Right to Protect Indian Land. Washington, D. C.—Seventeen suits, instituted by the United States and charging that many thousand conveyances of Indian lands of the five civilized tribes, allotted in severity to them, had been made in violation of express restrictions against alienation, were filed in the supreme court of the United States for review.

The cases involve a determination of what is the present policy of the government toward the Indians of these tribes.

Kansas City, Missouri.—The Kansas City Produce exchange was permanently enjoined by Judge Porterfield from meeting to set the price of foodstuffs and produce sold in Kansas City. In the same order, the Produce exchange was ordered dissolved permanently and fines were imposed upon the Armour Packing company, the W. L. Grush Commission company and the Hurst Produce and Commission company. An application for a temporary restraining order against the "food trust" was made by Virgil Conkling, county prosecutor, three weeks ago. When court opened the companies named in the application were not represented in court. "Under the law, I have the right to make an order prohibiting the packing company from doing business in the state," Judge Porterfield said. "In lieu of that I will impose a $7,500 fine." William S. Cowherd, attorney for the Kansas City Fruit & Produce exchange, appeared in court after Judge Porterfield had entered judgment and asked that the judgment be set aside because he had forgotten that the case had been set. Judge Porterfield granted his request.

A NEWSPAPER DYNAMITED The Los Angeles Times Building Dlown Up—Two Attempts to Destroy Residences. Los Angeles, California.—An attempt to destroy the residence of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, by means of an infernal machine, was made Saturday afternoon. Following as it does the explosion which with great loss of life, destroyed the building and plant of the Times, a suspected effort to blow up the auxiliary plant of that paper and the finding of a powerful infernal machine in the residence of Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association, the city has been aroused to an intense state of suspense and excitement. For 20 years, following a quarrel with the Typographical union, which resulted in making the Times a nonunion paper, Gen. Otis has fought unionism with every resource at his command. He has been ably seconded in this fight by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association, whose secretary was the object of frustrated dynamiting Sauriday. MR. TAFT'S KEYNOTE SPEECH Gave All Factions Credit for Recent Legislation and Complimented Col. Roosevelt. New York, N. Y.—President Taft made public his definition of "progressive republicans and gave definite notice of his friendly feeting toward that wing of the party. The occasion was his first political address of the congressional campaign, a "keynote" speech delivered before the banquet of the National League of Republican clubs. A "progressive Republican," according to the views of the president, is "one who recognizes existing and concrete evils and who is in favor of practical and definite steps to eradicate them." Three times during the speech he referred in complimentary terms to ex-President Roosevelt, first thanking him as the executive whose administration marked a rising tide of progress for the party; again, as being chiefly instrumental in organizing a crusade against political corruption; and finally, without mention of his name, as "heartening the cause of Republicanism by a brave declaration of principle," in the convention at Saratoga.

Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have, And the rest will come back to you. WAT is life but what a man thinking of all day. Make the world within our reach Somewhat the better for our life. Hints for the Housekeeper. Many women prefer to write off valuable recipes rather than use a good cook book in the kitchen. When this is too much trouble, have a pane of glass cut to fit the size of the open book, bind the edge with the binding used in passe partouting and always have it handy when using the book, as it serves two purposes, keeps the book open and clean from the spatters in cooking. For a change add a minced green pepper to scrambled eggs with a few mushrooms. Watery custard or a custard that wheys, is caused from cooking in too hot an oven or too long in cooking. Set the dish in hot water and never allow the custard to boil. A cupful of ripe oils added to a beef stew makes an elegant dish out of a common one. Use tomato juice instead of water in the omelet. Cleaning pots and pans is the bugbear of the cook. It is hard work if left until after the dishes are washed and hangs over one as a burden. One easy way is to keep a supply of newspapers in the kitchen and as soon as a greasy dish is emptied wipe it out with the paper and wash it as soon as possible. The paper may be burned and so the grease is kept from the cloth and sink. A dish which is a great favorite with many is codfish served in a white sauce made of sour cream instead of sweet; it makes a pleasing change. Some one says that sour cream is good in mashed potatoes. It is worth trying. For a plant stimulant use a few crystals of iron sulphate dropped into the watering can once a week. This chemical being a combination of iron, sulphur and oxygen, acts as a tonic to the plants' tissues. To clean kid gloves with little trouble and expense try this method: Soturate a bit of clean muslin with gasoline and shake it out until it is no longer wet. With the glove on, wipe gently from finger tips to wrist. Hang the gloves in the air for a few hours to air thoroughly. Rice, oatmeal or other cereals left over from breakfast make delicious pancakes. Take equal parts of the leftover and flour, add a little sugar, salt and one or two eggs and enough milk to make a heavy batter. Bake in hot fat until brown. These little cakes make a nice dessert when served with jelly. O KNOW what you prefer, in- O KNOW what you prefer, instead of humbly saying amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive All Sorts of Hints. A good umbrella with proper care will last for years. Never roll up an umbrella when wet, as the dies rot it and soon it will crack in the folds. When a wet umbrella is left to drip in the rack, always turn it handle end down, as the water settled in the top and if not soon dried will rot the silk. It is strangely true that those who have the fewest clothes are they who take the least care of them. It is not wear that makes a drabbled mass of your best gown in a few months. It is lack of care when not worn. If hung badly or folded and put away a gown will soon lose its freshness. A "best way" to hang waists and skirts is on coat hangers; these may be made of barrel hoops if the bought ones are unattainable. Women who wear their clothes well put them on carefully and take the stitch and brush often to their garments are always well dressed. It is an economy to have two or more pairs of shoes to wear, as leather, like people, need rest to wear long. If the feet perspire the leather rots quickly unless aired and changed often. Sprinkle a little powder in the shoes or burnt alum is a good remedy for that trouble. Use the least dressing or blacking possible, but do not slight the brush. Did you ever get a little shock on seeing the backs of muddy heels on an otherwise well dressed woman? When the heels wear out unevenly as they do with so many of us, have the shoemaker put on another lift and straighten them. An authority on such matters says that many ills that women are prone to are caused from wearing run-over heels which keep the body out of plumb. When putting away shoes for a season of a week, stuff them to keep them in shape if you cannot afford a few shoe trees. Rough braids on the skirts wear shoes in a very short time. When shoes get wet let them dry naturally away from the fire, then rub with a little sweet oil and they will be as good as ever. Shoes should be aired as well as clothing and oftener. Put them in the window at night to air. HAT is life but what a man is thinking of all day. Emerson Make the world within our reach Somewhat the better for our living. And gladder for our human speech. -J. G. Whittier. Culinary Suggestions Mashed potatoes are such a common accompaniment for roast poultry or broiled steak that it seems surprising that so few cooks serve them properly. When boiled in rapidly boiling water with a tablespoonful of salt to a quart of water they should when cooked into a snowy mass at the first blow of the masher. After draining them remove the cover and shake over the fire to remove all moisture, then mask until smooth, adding the cream or milk heated, then the butter and salt. Pile the potatoes into a hot dish; but do not pat down, that makes them heavy. Potatoes mashed and served in this manner are a strong contrast to the ordinary mashed potatoes as served. Many people like cooked cucumbers, for those a few suggestions may be welcome. When they get a little too coarse of seed to serve slices, pad and slice in lengthwise quarters, scrape out all the seeds and cook them in slightly salted boiling water until they are tender; then drain, butter them, season with salt and pepper and serve on narrow lengths of toast well buttered. Fried cucumbers are very appetizing for a breakfast dish. Prepare them as above except in the manner of slicing leave them in half-inch slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, roll in cracker crumbs and fry quickly on both slices in hot bacon fat. These are delicious served with a cheese omelet. Here are some new catsups, at least new to some: Add two tablespoonfuls of stick chamomon, two teaspoonfuls each of cloves and mace to three cupfuls of water and simmer 15 minutes; parakehive and core a dozen rich, lappars, lay in a baking dish and pour the spiced water over them, cover closely and bake until the fruit is tender, but not soft, and skim out. Return the syrup to the fire, and simmer until reduced to one pint, strain, to the spices in bags (three of them); add one pint of strong vinegar and three pounds of sugar to the hot liquid add the pears, a few at a time. Skim out into quart jars with a spice bag in each, and when all are cooked, pour the pickle over and seal hot. These should more correctly be called spiced pears. AH! WHAT would the world be to us If the children were no more We would dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before. —Longfellow. A Child's Birthday Party. A children's party is not always a easy one to arrange; but the pleas ure it gives the little people more than repays one for all the trouble. Of course, there must be ice cream; it would be no party without it. A simple plain ice cream is the best for them, not too rich or served with a sauce. If one can afford something a little elaborate, it is nice to serve the cream in spun sugar nests. These may be bought or made at home and add an elegance to the dish of cream which is a delight to a child. Very pretty little cakes may be prepared by using the angel food recipe and piping the mixture through a pottery tube on to the baking sheets in any desired form, then bake a delicate brown. Next to cake in importance to the palate of the child is the sandwich. They are sure to like sandwiches. Sweet ones may even take the place of cake. Home-made bon-bons are all ways a treat and are much more wholesome than the kind bought at the confectioners. A great variety of them may be made with the fondant, flavored. They may be dipped in melted fondant, flavored and colored. To make the fondant, boil two and one-half pounds of sugar and a cup of water, a half teaspoonful of cream of tartar, without stirring, until forms a soft waxy ball in water. Turn out on a mable slab or large plate and when cool work with a wooden spoon until ceramy. Put it into a bowl, and let it stand covered for a day to ripen. It is then ready to make into any desired candy. The charm of the party will not be fully appreciated until the birthday cake appears, brightened by its rose candles. A board that may be kept for year and serve for any number of birthday may be made from the top of a card pail. Bore holes not quite through but deep enough to hold a small cake upright, leaving the center for the plate with the cake. This board may do for the great-grandmother's birthday cake as well, for the candles to the story of the years. WHIMS. The city man who was summering in the country was lounging at a little station on an interurban line. Along came a seedy pilgrim walking up the track. "My friend," said the city man; "do you expect to hoof it to the next station?" "Sure." "How far is it?" "Bout six miles." "What's the fare from here there?" "Fifteen cents, I reckon." "Car coming pretty soon?" "Tep." "Well, just to gratify a whim, suppose you let me lend you money enough to pay your fare to that station." "That'll be all right, boss." "I haven't the change. Here's a poster." Thanks. Now, boss," said the seedy warfarer, "jes to gratify a whim, I'm cut" to keep on hooftn' it. Good-by." An ANGEL. Former Mistress—So the lady enraged you at once when you said you had served with me. Former Cook—Yis, mum. She said that anyone who could stand yer fer its months must be an angel. Why Not? If "Mrs. Dr. Brown" is right, Why would it not be fair, To speak of "Mrs. Bishop White" Or "Mrs. Judge McNair" Who Made the Spade. Two blacksmiths were recently conversing as to which was the first trade in the world. One insisted that it must have been gardening, and quoted the following from Genesis: "When Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden he was told to take care of it and till it." "Ah, John!" retorted the other, who stood up for his own trade; "but who made the spade?" Accounted For. Belle—I wonder why that good-looking doctor avoids me so and is so cool to me when we meet? Nell—I think it is because Ned thoughtlessly told him what you said about him. Belle—What did I say that he didn't like? Nell—You sald, don't you remember, that he had such killing ways. Just Luck. "That man Barnes is the luckiest know I ever knew. He has just given up one easy job for another still easier." "I know him. If he went up in aaky balloon he'd be dead sure toumble into some soft place." Not That Kind "You'd like some marine insurance in a consignment of linen? All right. Did you Lloyds' for—" "Blame it, no! It's not celluloids in shipping; it's linens, I tell you!" Rounder—Jack said he couldn't care any peace of mind till he married Bella. Gadsby—And now his wife gives him a piece of hers. a regular Caller. Expected letters may fail to call, but there's a who never will. The instillator is the collector With his little weekly bill.

"And that's where you're wrong." Harry was actually clad sensibly and neither carried a pet monkey nor smoked scented cigarettes. THE GYPSIES OF THE GASOLINE AGE. Arrayed in khaki, weather stained. And full of grease and oil. Their faces tanned with sun and wind. Their hands begrimed with toil. With hook and hoot and siren shriek They come from near and far. And travel in a cloud of smoke, The gypsies of the car. In limousine and touring car, And lively runabout. They laugh at indigestion, nerves, Insomnia and gout. No dream of dark and evil things At night their slumbers mar, They keep eternal holiday, The gypsies of the car. The wanderlust is in their blood, They answer to the call, Of open road and azure skies, Green fields and forests tall. And leave a trail of gasoline Around this earthly star, Thought in the tramp, The gypsies of the car. -Mina Irving, in New York Sun. Side Lights on History. Bluebeard was reflecting upon his past—for he was a man with a past. "Yes," he said, complacently stroking his cerulean facial adornments, "I've been something of a lady killer in my time." Moreover, the old scoundrel was an exception to the rule that all the world loves a lover. Not to His Knowledge. "Officer," said the earnest seeker for information, tendering a good cigar, "I want to ask you a very confidential question. Is there any petty grafting going on in your department of the service these days?" "Divil a bit, sor," answered the copper on the beat, accepting the cigar. Loyalty or Punishment! "There is no use talking about it," said the stern old malden aunt, with a snap of her firm mouth. "When two silly folks like you put your heads into the matrimonial noose—" "Yes, aunty?" "You ought to hang together." Woman-Like. The tourists climbed through the dust of ages and stood before the mummy of the Egyptian queen. "How natural she looks," exclaimed the men in the party. "But won't you turn her over?" insisted the women. "What for?" demanded the dusky guide. "So we can see how her dress is buttoned in the back." COULDN'T TALK RIGHT. GEORGE BAKER Jinkins—I don't see what he sees in the girl he is to marry. Winkins—Love is blind. Jinkins—Love must also be deaf and dumb if he can get along with her. Hyphenated. When a woman says "N-no!" It is quite easy to guess The little hyphen is to show Her answer should be "Yes." Setting the Pace. "Henry," insisted the wife of the man who had made his first million. "why do you compel our fashionable butler to go around the house in his shirt sleeves?" "So I can enjoy some comfort in my shirt sleeves without shocking his lord mayor of London's sensibilities," elucidated her husband as he settled back for an after-dinner smoke. Why They Left. "Let me sing the old songs in your parlor," lisped the girl who imagined she was a prima donna. "Please don't," begged the landlady. "But your boarders will be carried away by my singing." "That's just the trouble. The last time you sang they were carried over to the next boarding house." A. Hurry Call. "I'm looking for a doctor. Can you answer a hurry call?" "If it comes within my province," said the physician. "I'm a lung specialist, you know." "The joy's lungs seem to be all right. It's a green apple specialist I want." Matter of Finance. Hyker—They say old Giltedge is a multimillionaire. Pyker—Well, I don't believe it. Hyker—Why not? Pyker—Because his only daughter wanted to marry a duke and he declared he couldn't afford any such luxury. You Look Prematurely Old ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS Unmarried, and Contented Withal, They Have Mapped Out for Themselves a Pious City. There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every subject, from removing grease from carpets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time when a visiting Spin got up to make a few remarks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time coming. "Think of the day," she said, "when, having no husbands or children, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the family wants waiting on. The sniffing and snorting increased in volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence in financial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "But we must not take offense at what our sister has said," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know." This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet.—Atchison Globe. BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." Love's Crime. George was a manly fellow, yet, surprising as it may seem, he was guilty of a grave charge, a criminal offense—theft, for had he not many times, stolen kisses from his fair sweet-heart? Maude, one of the most lovable of girls, was equally guilty as an accessory; she received the stolen property. Each seemed to have perfect confidence in the other, however, and when sentence was pronounced by a properly qualified official, they decided to serve their time together. They remained loyal to the end, neither making any effort to have their sentence abrogated or shortened, but during the course of their long term together several small offenses were directly chargeable to them.

Seven poor children, four girls and three boys, all about ten years old, went to a nearby seashore resort, in charge of two women, for a day's outing. The funds for the picnic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the outing "of their own accord, and the remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is probably the naughtiest boy in the neighborhood. But we think that when boys do little things like this they will come out all right."—New York Tribune. Why He Wouldn't Hurry. They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: "The audience will be waiting" "Well," observed the old pastor (who was to preach that foreonon), "don't let's ret over it if we are a little late. It reminds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there on time. 'Never mind,' said the poor fellow, philosophically. 'Don't fuss over it. The people can wait. There'll be nothing doing till I get there.'"—Christian Herald.
