Campbell, present City Commissioner, either personally or by reputation, have the utmost and highest confidence in his honesty, integrity and fairness, not only as a citizen, but as a city official. "Bob" Campbell has lived in Wichita for years and years—in fact he M. H. was reared here and taking up his career here from a boy to a young man and then to manhood his record stands clear and clean. It is an admitted fact that he is a Re-Call candidate before the election next Monday, September 25th, by a chain of circumstances and it is admitted that no department of the city government has been more carefully, economically and systematically conducted than has the department over which Robt. B. Campbell is at the head. Few men have ever been elected to public office by a larger popular vote than was Robt. B. Campbell last spring, and few men have ever made a better record in office than has he. The people of this city have confidence in Robt. B. Campbell and will vote for him at the election Monday. Taking up the work of his department in the shape in which he found it he has by hard work and close application placed his department on a basis of which every citizen may have just reason to feel proud.

JOBISTOO BIG JOBISTOO BIG The issues involved in the present Re-call Campaign which will end Monday, Sept. 25th. with the Re call election, is one of vital interest to every citizen in Wichita. In this campaign, as in every campaign in the past fifteen years, the Searchlight believes that every feature and then vote according to the dictates of his or her own decision. It is qtite unfortunate to the citizens of Wichita that one Mr. John H. Graham should ever have been injected into the political arena of this municipality, for every since his first introduction Wichita has been in a political turmoil and civic unrest. We do not attempt to say that Mr. Graham is wholly to blame for these conditions—yet it is a fact they exist. During Mr. Graham's former administration Wichita was, during the whole of his term of office face to face with the most disgraceful spectacle of a Mayor unable to work in harmony with his own Council and his own appointees. The disgraceful scenes enacted at and around the City Holl during the Graham former administration was one with which every citizen was rightly disgusted. Mr. Graham set the precedent of being the first Mayor who could not find citizens of Wichita to fill her police force and had to impart policeman into our city. Every citizen who was in Wichita at that time are acquainted with the business depression and stagnation of affairs which was evident at that time. Now Mr. Graham is Mayor again, not because the majority of the people wanted him as Mayor, but on account of a strain of almost unavoidable circumstance and in less than six months of his term the same scence are enacted which made his first administration a force and disgrace to our city. Since Mr. Graham became Mayor last April business has dropped off, labor is idle and a general stagnation exists. A sober comparison of the busy, bustling and hustling conditions which existed during Ex-Mayor C. L. Davidsod's term and the sluggish, inactive and business depression of the first six months NO.25 of the present Graham term is enough to convince any fair thinking citizen that something is wrong. There is no class of citizens whom these conditions — good or bad—concern more than they concern the colored people and the laboring people. The colored man is, as a whole, a laborer and when work is slack and times hard such as they are now and have been ever since Mr. Graham became Mayor last April — no people feel this man keenly than do the colored man and it is to their interest to so cast their vote that the results will be of benefit to himself. Every fair man who knows anything of present conditions agree that the election of Mr. Graham Monday Sept. 25th, will mean that times will grow harder, work will get more scare and that contemplated improvements will not be made and that for the next eighteen (1) months Wichita labor will have to look elsewhere for employment. The question which the colored man and the laborer must decide is — will he vote for Graham and harder times or vote against Graham and in favor of more work and better times? The facts are simply these—the money interets, the investors and the men in high financial circles who arr the back bone of every community have not the confidence in Mr. Graham and his associates and are not willing to invest their money while he is Mayor—thus work stops—labor is forced to be idle—and the laboring man feels the blunt. It is up to the colored voter and the laboring man. If they vote Graham out next Monday work will pick up Tuesday again and if they vote for Graham things will remain dull and get duller in Wichita for the next eighteen {18} months. Take your choice. The Searchlight has no personal interest in the Re-call election Monday, Sept. 25th. other than that interest common to every other citizen who wishes to see our city prosperous and all her citizens employed.

Atchison, Kansas.—Two thousand children, laughing, cheering and tossing great bouquets of flowers, greeted Balle P. Waggener here when he returned after an eight weeks' absence in a hospital in Rochester, Minn. And while the children smiled and called to him, great tears rolled down the attorney's cheeks. He smiled through them, but he could not talk. He was too deeply touched. "I cannot talk," he muttered to a friend. "I can only feel a great gratitude which I cannot express now." There is scarcely a child in Atchison who is not personally acquainted with Mr. Waggener. He calls hundreds of them by their first names as he passes them each day on the street. For years he has been giving picnics, entertainments and jubilees for the children of Atchison. But this time it was their day to play the host.

Mr. Taft Believes Wickersham's Findings in Case Were Based Upon Incomplete Data. Beverly, Massachusetts.—The resignation of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the United States bureau of chemistry, will not be asked for by President Taft, despite the recommendation of the personnel board of the department of agriculture, which was indorsed by Attorney General Wickersham. This decision has been announced here by President Taft. The "codign punishment" for Doctor Wiley, which Mr. Wickersham held to be necessary, will not be meted out by the chief executive. The president's opinion, carrying no word of criticism for Doctor Wiley, but many a word of praise, has been made public here. He explains that the attorney general's findings in the case were made with less complete data than was before him when he took it up. In the opinion the president admits what has been well known to many persons close to the administration—that there is trouble in the department of agriculture. A general clean-up of affairs in the department, however, is likely to be required by the president and carried through when he returns to Washington in November. DENIES "COMMERCIAL CLUB" Mayorex Says There Is No Such Club, and Governor is Seeking More Information. Topeka, Kansas.—A few days ago the "Hunnellwell Commercial club" sent a long telegram to Gov. Stubbs urging that no more advertising be given Hunnellwell on account of the mayor, Ella Wilson, who was asserting that Hunnellwell was the home of bootleggers and thieves. As soon as it became known that this telegram had been sent, Mayor Wilson sent a letter to the governor saying that there is no "commercial club" and that the men members of the city council had sent that message. The governor is going to dig a little deeper before he acts and intends to find out just who the members of the club are and whether they are simply fighting to help the town or to oust the mayor.

Kiev, Russia.—Premier Stolypin diet from the effects of the bullet wound inflicted by the assassin, Bogroff. One hundred and fifty arrests of lawyers and other acquaintances of Dimitry Bogroff, the man who shot Stolypin, have been made in Kiev. Among the versions of the circum stances leading up to the crime and which must be investigated is the assertion that Bogroff belonged to a new autonomous revolutionary group the aim of which is to assassinate in individual statesmen. Another version is that the revolutionaries put Bog roff, who, according to the police, had been filling the dual role of revolutionary agent and police spy, in a dilemma where he had to kill Stoly pin or be himself killed.

Taft, president of the United States, is to be a visitor at the Missouri State Fair on Saturday, September 30, and in his official capacity will open the eleventh annual exhibition of the wonderful resources of Missouri. President Taft's visit to the state fair will be an honor which will be appreciated by all Missourians as it is made in recognition of the state's wonderful productions, and with a view of becoming better acquainted with the citizens of this great commonwealth. During his visit to the state fair, President Taft will deliver an address in the large, magnificent Live Stock pavilion which has a seating capacity for 10,000 people, and the distinguished speaker can be distinctly heard from every part of the large auditorium. The president will probably make the principal address of his Western trip at the state fair and his talk to Missouri farmers on agricultural topics will be exceedingly instructive and interesting. SPAIN NOW FACES REVOLUTION Government Learns Details of Revolutionary Plot Said to Include Murder of Weyler. Madrid, Spain—Martial law has been declared in Spain. This action followed reports of violence in connection with workingmen's strikes which have been called in various cities to further, the government says, a revolutionary plot. The most serious situation is at Valencia, where a general strike has been declared. Premier Canalejas announced that the government has in its possession the details of a revolutionary plot uncovered at Valencia and Barcelona. Part of this plot was to assassinate General Weyler, captain-general of Catalonia. The government asserts that it knows the names of all the conspirators and the sources of their supplies. MAINE'S ELECTION IS SETTLED Governor's Canvass of Returns Shows Majority For Repeal of Liquor Law of Twenty Votes. Augusta, Maine.

Brown, president of the National Railways of Mexico, discussing in New York a railroader who was always out of work, said: "He is too quick with his tongue—that's the trouble. He has a ready wit that he is too apt to use upon his boss." Then, with a laugh Mr. Brown uttered this epigrammatic and true saying: "Repartee has lost as many men their jobs as it has made others their reputations." Left HIm Ear Behind Childish standards of greatness are interesting—perhaps because they are at once so like yet so unlike the standards of grown folk. Many an adult, for instance, has been proud with no more reasonable basis than that which little Johnnie displayed in attempting to "top" the boasting of a juvenile comrade. "I've got a real railroad train, with an engine that goes, an' an real, live pony, an' a really, truly gun, n'—" "That's nothing!" interrupted the lad's disgusted listener. "Once I knew a boy that sat up until 11 o'clock twice in one week!" A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO. Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for Lewis' Single Binder Cigar What is probably the biggest lot of all fancy grade tobacco held by any factory in the United States has just been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars. The lot will make twenty-four carloads, and is selected from what is considered by experts to be the finest crop raised in many years. The purchase of tobacco is sufficient to last the factory more than two years. An extra price was paid for the selection. Smokers of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appreciate this tobacco. - Peoria Star, January 16, 1909. One Cure for Sarcasm. One evening last week when he got home his wife had a new hat to show him. It was some hat. Anybody could have seen that it was the final phrase in female headgear. But Bunsen started to make remarks. He said it looked as if it had been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner on an empty stomach. And he made a lot of other disparaging remarks. Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears. Bunsen had to go into the other room to have a quiet laugh at her expense. The next day he had forgotten all about the hat. The day after that he was reminded of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him a bill for retrimming that hat—$18.34 it came to. Bunsen paid it without a murmur and said the revised edition of the hat was just exactly right. He is not criticizing hats any more. Diary of a Fiv-Killer. Monday—My attention was called last night to a statement that house flies are bearers of disease and should be destroyed as soon as possible. I began my crusade against them this morning. It was a little discouraging, because there was only one fly in the house and it was quite agile. It escaped me. I broke two vases and a photograph frame. Tuesday — I nearly killed three flies this afternoon, but the lamp got in the way. It was a $7 lamp. Wednesday—I saw a fly on the outside of the fly screen and raised the screen so I could hit it. Seventeen flies flew in. I missed it. Thursday—There was a sluggish looking fly on the window with closed wings. I stole toward it cautiously, but it flew up just as I let the blow fall.

A HiT What She Gained by Trying Again. A failure at first makes us esteem final success. A family in Minnesota that now enjoys Postum would never have known how good it is if the mother had been discouraged by the failure of her first attempt to prepare it. Her son tells the story: "We had never used Postum till last spring when father brought home a package one evening just to try it. We had heard from our neighbors, and in fact every one who used it, how well they liked it. "Well, the next morning Mother brewed it about five minutes, just as she had been in the habit of doing with coffee without paying special attention to the directions printed on the package. It looked weak and didn't have a very promising color, but nevertheless father raised his cup with an air of exceptancy. It certainly did give him a great surprise, but I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant one, for he put down his cup with a look of disgust. Mother wasn't discouraged though, and next morning gave it another trial, letting it stand on the stove till boiling began and then letting it boil for fifteen or twenty minutes, and this time we were all so pleased with it that we have used it ever since. three bump got outhed the men files uggleh closed ously, be blow a fly, began to Drat er.

Love- liness is a liv- ing thing made of beauty, the table, she called off their was surprised. "Who thinks of their ages?" s were not so beautiful when yo "IS CAN DANCE THE TRAGEDIENNE; I AM FORTY-ONE" O OMAN is loveliest at forty!" "W The speaker herself seemed never lovelier than when admitting forty-one years past. For twenty years Paris has called her The Beautiful Otero; and she is still at the height of fortune as the most famous Spanish dancer and the most bejeweled professional beauty of the gay French capital. She explained herself: "I refer to fine women. In health and the enjoyment of rational luxuries, they need only two things to triumph In the charm of their full flowering—will to keep in condition, and mastery of that pathetic disdain which temps them to stand back in the shadow." She rose and paced the room with catlike grace. She snatched a man's hat from the table, cocked it over her eye, fung the end of a cloak over her shoulder, and struck an attitude. "I have our value impressed on me ever in the Spanish dance," she said. "The grand dance of the flamenca! What a dance, monsieur, what a drama! It is the whole of woman's life in three "I CAN DANCE THE TRAGEDIES acts: desire, seduction, tragic triumph. Never has dramatic work expressed femininity with the grace, mystery and intensity of those three scenes. Now, look you, in the south of Spain they say it it takes eight years to form a flamenca. Perfection is unattainable; because this exhausting dance—twelve minutes!—show me a danseuse of the opera who will accept a variation of twelve minutes—contains three roles that are unconnected: the ingenuine, the amoureuse, and the tragedienne. One ought to be sixteen years old to dance the first—and forty to dance the end of the drama, in which Rubia, magnificent at fifty, fixed the tradition." "Madame." I asked, "Is it possible that you are old enough to dance that third act?" "I am forty-one," she laughed. "I had made two trips to the United States before I settled in Paris in 1891; and I was just of age when starting out. If I am not worn like some great hammacas, it is thanks to the life of Paris. Those who remain in Spain use themselves up, monsleur. It is a magnificent public, but it fatigues the artiste. In Paris, the good people interest themselves as much in my jewels and accept what I give them. So I have been able to live reasonably. Luxury is good for a woman of self-control. Those soft creatures who lie around and overeat, I have no patience with them! I have always had unconscious Painting from my work, though I owe much to the Turkish bath. . . . " "The Hammam?" I asked. "No, no; I have a sweat-box in my apartment fitted with fifty electric-light bulbs. I often take it four times a week when not dancing, followed with a tepid douche, turning cold. There is an apparatus to frighten young beauties, monsleur!" Certainly a remarkable woman. On the stage, from Copenhagen to Vienna, from London to Rome, she is known, always and above all, as a beauty. She sings after a fashion. She has made successful ventures into pantomime. And now, at forty, she has made herself an actress of merit, appearing in emotional roles on the great Paris stage. Now, also, at forty, she continues to pose for the best selling beauty photographs on the European market. After her comes Lina Cavalieri, with no third in their class. Other beauties sell as well in certain successful poses; but Otero and Cavalieri never cease posing. "Women of forty!" exclaimed Otero. "What pathetic disdain, what proud anticipation, what unhappy acquiescence, hastening out to meet fate more than half-way, cause so many to ignore their splendor and even wander into self- ```markdown ``` ARSON PUB. CO. tractions, yes—and also the maniere de s'en servir! The way to use them! Here is the triumph of the woman of forty—when she gladly lets herself loose!" "Why not?" I murmured, fascinated by one who certainly lets herself loose. She continued gaily: "Why, the intuitions of the very young man are unerring in this matter. The youth of seventeen, with senses painfully fresh and keen, begins with a grande passion for the wogan of forty. Instinct tells him that she is the loveliest. The thing is traditional, from Harry Esmond down to Porter Charlton. And Joseph even; how did she get that coat? We laugh. Laughter is a sudden glory—over human mischance. The youth himself refuses to arrive at charming forty beside a woman of sixty-three; yet his first untroubled judgment was to award the apple where it belongs." "The man of forty evidently. . ." I began. "The worst enemy of the woman of forty is the man of forty," persisted Otero. "She is the mirror in which he dreads to see the shadow of his own degeneracy—forgetting that his wear and tear of ten years past have not been hers. So the man of forty marries the girl of twenty-three. In spite of his wear and tear, she finds in the charm of the full man her profound satisfaction—without looking ahead. Why look ahead? In Paris we see dally men of forty making inexperienced young fellows appear foolish. For example, I will cite the best loved-man of Paris, over whose elegant person five hat-pin duels have been fought in the past three years—the latest on the Blairitz boardwalk, between a young matron and a bud of society. He will be forty-two years old next February." Otero did not cite his name, so I will imitate her wise discretion. "The man of forty is vain and suspicious," said Otero. "Even when in full possession of his physical and mental perfections, he must punish unoffending loveliness that walks beside him in the path of years. Oh, yes, he makes the woman of forty suffer! The fair creature would be more than human not to resent it. Unspoken malice in her laughing eye causes the fatuous fellow to grit his teeth with hate. And so, two perfect creatures, at the flood of all that is best in them, too often turn their backs upon each other, leaving opportunity open to less prejudiced hearts and heads—to girls with their intuitions,—to men of fifty purged of petty vanity!" Even so, women of forty rule Paris. Madame Otero collects portrait photographs. Scattering a package of foremost Paris beauties on "THE WOMAN OF FORTY IS POSITIVELY LOVELIEST." I know of nothing so eloquent of her superior loveliness." "Let her are one years. The ciple. And al in such matter possibly thirty pleness, quo? perior surround "We see it they look."

"We see it every day," I said. "Fine women have the age they look." "No, no, the woman of forty is positively loveliest," replied the lovely specialist. "We must distinguish. Physical lovelieness is one thing, academical perfection of form another. Paris painters of voluptuous subjects—nymphs rolling green lawns, bacchantes sprawling in pagan festivals, courts of Neptune sunning on golden sands—have always been reproached by their uncompromising brethren for 'doing chic' because they wiltfully age their models. To attain the acme of sensual beauty, they enlarge rotundities, exaggerate curves, tend toward the corset waist—bete noire of purists and delight of gods and men—and arrive at an unearthly charm by giving the nymph of eighteen a whole set of outlines that she ought not have for fifteen years. What is this but glorifying by 'chic' the beauty of forty—whom these painters seldom obtain as model, because there is always some man to prevent it!" "Also, I said, "they must pretend their nymphs are eighteen—for the man of forty." "Betiss!!" laughed Otero. "In times past overweening plumpness may have been a danger to the lazy and self-indulgent—even at eighteen; but the modern fine woman changes little between thirty-five and forty-five. As for academic purity of line, none but uncompromising painters and sculptors want it—to give purity of sentiment; and it is lost, not at forty, but at twenty-four. The episode of Eberlein is classical. Struck by the pure beauty of a twenty-five-year-old model, "Let her arrive unknown in a community and confess thirty-one years. The other women will give her thirty-six on principle. And all the men, suspicious of their women's frankness in such matters, will be sure that she is a delicious creature of possibly thirty-four, grand maximum, of unusual tact, poise, suppleness, quo? all kinds of graces of unknown but obviously superior surroundings!"

As for academical purity of line, none but uncompromising painters and sculptors want it—to give purity of sentiment; and it is lost, not at forty, but at twenty-four. The episode of Eberlein is classical. Struck by the pure beauty of a twenty-five-year-old model, the famous the table, she called off their ages for me. I was surprised. "Who thinks of their ages?" she said. "Some were not so beautiful when younger. Look at this one . . . and this . . . Here is a lady with an almost insignificant nose; and her eyes were never much until she had them tattooed where actresses pencil. Here is one with not a perfect feature, yet her physique and temperament are delightful. And this other, without the noble spirit breathing through her look, would she not be almost plain?" She said true; yet I had passed all as charming. All have beauty reputation. When a woman like this gives away her sisters it is edifying. Otero showed me how one splendid creature fought for years against a double chin and conquered; how another began bony; how another has learned to dissimulate a trumpet nose. "Stop!" I exclaimed. "You will make me think that all young women are full of defects!" "They are," said Otero. "What is time for but to correct them? Scatter the photographs and look again. You will find them beauties now in any case! They are radiant. They have learned their power!" It was even so. There were flashes of ecstasy, gleams of delight, eyes that spoke soul awakenings, lips parted in mystery. There were coy faces, faces that asked baffling questions, confidential faces, high, courageous faces, faces that breathed sweet, sad reverie. "All kinds of faces, except wooden twenty-year-old faces, hein?" laughed the subtle Spanish. "A Paris photographer has given me a partial reason why their faces are lovelier at forty. It is because they have been photographed so much." "The effort to resemble one's best picture?" I mused. "All that, in general; but he claims a particular influence of self-suggestion. We come to resemble our best photographs by gentle degrees, unconsciously, when they follow each other in a long, changing series." "Living up to last week's photograph makes next week's photograph still handsomer," I said. "A hundred photographs completes the cure." "He was a photographer, of course, and gave the entire credit to his art," replied Otero. "Perhaps the secret is encouragement. How often we have seen plain women bloom out. We women guess the secret cause—the transfigured one is happy in love. She has been encouraged." "Oh, well then," I said, "any way to encourage oneself! . . . ." "That's it! Beauty is a habit!" exclaimed Otero. "It is the habit of those who have started encouraged! Let the woman of forty merely conceal her age, and the trick is half won. --- of a twenty-five-year-old model, the famous sculptor noted down minutely, numerously, all her exact measurements in order to reproduce such a perfect anatomy in marble. Four weeks later, in verifying the measurements before an incredulous confrehe, he was astonished to discover that not a single one conceded; the academically perfect anatomy had budged all along the line—toward the voluptuous beauty prized by common mortals!" "And the maniere de s'en servir!" I mused. "I accuse not only the young girl's green acidity, her forming body, sleeping temperament, and crudity of mind," summed up Otero. "In northern lands, the sleeping parts may get the sand out of their eyes by twenty-five; but, even then, years pass in looking round and wondering what this world may mean. So, at thirty, the average young woman, loaded down with natural arrogance and ideas that have been imposed upon her, tranquilizes a growing disquiet by repeating to herself: 'I am a young thing!' Up to thirty-five the satisfaction of ruling may have been her chief profit. Now she wakes completely to the pulsing life of things, knows herself and—dismayed by sense of loss—plunges avidly, or else—" "—Or else, discouraged, sinks back, murmuring: 'I am an old thing!'" I finished the sentence for her. "That's it," laughed Otero. "If she grows panic-stricken, she enters the 'terrible quarantine' indeed. They may be the 'terrible forties' or the 'splendid forties,' as she makes them, as her world permits her, or as she dominates it, with happy insouciance brushing aside every obstacle and flinging herself into the harmonies of an instrument finally attuned. Then she is truly terrible—terrible to younger, undecided women whom she mocks and bamboozles, borrowing their admirers from them out of pure lightheartedness; terrible to men, on whom she avenges the neglect of years to come!" Treasure From the Sea Boys that live at Pine Brook, N. J., did not know that there was a buried treasure near at hand or they might have gone hunting for it. Two fishermen found it. A strong line, much larger than you have ever used unless you have gone fishing for whale or something of that sort, was caught in the bottom of the river. The men tugged on it and found that it gave a little, and just then an automobile came along the road. The men asked the automobile man to give them a little assistance, and they tied the line to the rear axle and let the car pull on it. The line strained and slowly moved out of the water, drawing with it a wrecked canoe full of mud and stones. In the canoe was found a heavy chest, which was removed by the men and loaded into the car, and then the driver and fishermen went on to town. There they displayed the find, and the chest was recognized as the silverware box belonging to a hotel. The box had been stolen in 1904, and no trace of the robbers had been found. LESSON TEXT - Daniel 6. MEMORY VERSES - 21-23. GOLDEN TEXT - "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him and delivereth them." - Psa. 24:7. TIME-Probably B. C. 538, very near the close of the seventy years' captivity, soon after Cyrus had conquered Babylon in B. C. 539. PLACE-Probably in Babylon, as is shown by the close connection of Daniel 5 and 6. PERSONS-Daniel was probably 80 years old; as this event was 66 years after his going to Babylon, in 604, and he must have been at least 14 years old at that time. Cyrus the Persian had just conquered the Babylonians. Darius the Mede, a viceroy of Cyrus, temporary king of the new province, but not in the line of emperor kings. In our last lesson we stood by the golden image on the plains near Babylon. We saw the crowds bowing down before it while the heroic three stood up alone. We saw them cast into the fiery furnace and wonderfully delivered. This was just after the destruction of Jerusalem and greatest deportation of exiles and treasures to Babylon. They had reached Babylon. They were in the fiery furnace of affliction. At this point the three Jews, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, were preaching a sermon to the captives, heard all over the empire—"Be true to your God, and your religion at any cost; yield to no seductions of idolatry, and God will deliver you from your burning fiery furnace, as he has delivered us." It was preached at the psychological moment. It was heard by the Jews in Palestine four centuries later when they were persecuted by Antiochus; but it was needed even more by the exiles in Babylon; and would be worth an hundred times more to the Jews in the fires of Antiochus, because it was true in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, and was lived out by the deliverance of these captives a few years later. The end of the exile was drawing nigh, as foretold by Jeremiah. The seventy years had nearly elapsed. The king who was to bring their deliverance was on the throne. The captives scattered all over the empire needed to know this and to be prepared. They had felt the horrors of the wars and rumors of wars, they had seen as it were the stars falling from the political sky, as Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar. They needed to know that the time of their redemption was drawing nigh, and to be prepared for it. Here comes in the event of our lesson. Darius, Cyrus, Daniel, known all over the empire, were to present a resplendent light that would shine into every corner of the realm. Multitudes of the exiles must have suffered for their religion, and they might feel that God was not their friend and helper if Daniel's experience always resulted favorably while theirs did not. And they needed a visible object lesson of the delivering power of God to encourage their hope and faith for the deliverance of their nation from the "den of lions" in which they had been living for almost seventy years. Daniel must have been between eighty and ninety years old at this time. He had had many trials of his character and faithfulness. He was an exile from home and native land, among enemies to his race and to his God. His native land was desolate, his relatives scattered; his people were exiles amid many difficulties that must have tested their faith to the utmost. But on the whole Daniel had been eminently successful, as he was worthy of success. He had maintained his high character. His course had been one of almost unbroken prosperity. The severe trials to which he had been subjected had hitherto resulted only in raising him to higher honors and success. Under Darius, Daniel was recognized as a man of great ability and integrity, and one who could be trusted implicitly. Accordingly, he made him one of the three presidents over the 120 governors of as many provinces into which the kingdom was subdivided. It was not long before the other officers determined that in some way or other, by fair means or foul, they would get rld of Daniel. They brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. This was according to the Oriental custom on the evening of the same day. The story of the den of lions is strictly in keeping with Babylonian usages. Assurbanipal says in his annals, "The rest of the people I threw alive into the midst of the bulls and lions, as Senacheth my grandfather, used to do." Daniel from the den of lions said, "My God hath sent his angel." He does not say whether the angel was visible or not. The winds and the lightning are God's angels according to the psalmist. But it is probable that he was visible to Daniel, as a manifest token of the favor and protection of God. Daniel declares that he had been faithful to God and hence God had seen fit to deliver him. It was God's endorsement of his character. His faithfulness would have shown God's power and commended him to men, even if Daniel had died as a martyr. But the deliverance was an open declaration that God was on Daniel's side. Daniel had been as true to his king as he had been to his God. Faithfulness to God made him faithful to man. There are faithful Daniels in every town, crucified on unseen crosses, burned with invisible flames, shut up in spiritual dens of lions. SEARCHLIGHT, PAGE FOUR. THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, ..... KANSAS.

GENTS WANTS TRUNKS Strange Freak of Nature. Philadelphia, Pa, Sept, 20, The medical fraternity is keepy intercated in rwins who are children of Negro parents. Marie Bonder aged five months and a few days is as black as her heart-of-African ancestors were. On the other hand, Sallie Boner, likewise aged five months and a few days and a twin sister to Marie, is much whiter than the average Caucasian baby. Doctors say that it is nothing more or less than the unusual but well anthentical atavism or manifestation of racial strain that has been submerged for generations, and finally crop out unexpectedly. The case of Marie and Sallie is all the more unusual because of their being twins—one black ann the other white. The doctors declare that they have records of cases where a single baby has bestrayed the submerged steain of another race but tdat atavism has seldom manifested itself in this manner. Atavism is not peeuliar to any race. The same freak of nature might develope in the offspring of the white persons. There are many wonderful conjectures about the Marie and Sallie. Their mother died when theo were born, and as far as their father knows, there may be the blood of white man in Mamma Boner's veins, Friends of Mamma Boner say that it must have been four generations ago that the Negro strains were broken. The grandparents of the twins came from Georgia. Sallie is absolutely white. She is not green nor yet blue, Neither is there the slightest indication of her Ethiopian parentage in her hair. Her eyes are as blue as the corn flowers, and delicate is her skin that the blue veins beneith can be traced along their forked way for inches. Her lips are full but not the thick, supersensual, sagging lips of the Negro. As a matter of fact, there are scorns of Caucasians to be seen every day whose lips are heavier and thirker. Her nails are pink and delicately shaded just like those of any white baby. Her little nose is going to be aquiline and daintily moulded. It is of no advantage to describe Marie is the typical pickaninny—just as cunning, just as clean—but a pickaninny if there ever was one. To make the distinction all the more vivid Marie's cubby little legs are so bowed that she would easily represent the letter 'O' if stood on her minute feet. Sallie's are as straight as legs con be.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Real estate dealers and speculative builders in the larger cities and suburban towns have long realized that every dollar spent in making more attractive the interior of the houses that they offer will come back ten-fold in the increased selling price that can be obtained or the larger rental that can be asked. This is something which the home builder who has but a limited amount to invest, or the builder in the smaller towns, does not always realize. Indeed, it really pays better in the end to cut down the size of the house if it should become necessary to economize, rather than to omit any features which add to the selling value of the property. One may say that he is building a house for himself, that he has no intention of selling, but expects to live in the house for the rest of his life and can do without the frills if only the house is big enough to accommodate the actual needs. What, therefore, is the necessity of considering selling or rental value? There is an old and very true proverb that "man proposes, but God disposes;" and though a man may be building a home, circumstances may in time arise that make the sale or renting of the house imperative, and every feature that adds to its selling or rental value will be doubly appreciated. Death may make it necessary to sell the house in order to settle the estate. Business reasons that cannot be foreseen often compel a man much against his inclinations to move to some distant part of the country; and I have found out by personal experience that there is nothing more unsatisfactory as an investment than O real estate which is so far away that the owner cannot see for himself whether repairs asked for by the tenant are really needed or not, but must be compelled to depend upon the word of the real estate agent, whose interests seem often to be rather with the tenant than with the landlord. At such a time, the owner realizes that anything which by catching the eye and the fancy of the prospective purchaser makes a house sell more readily is something decidedly to his advantage. The man who is compelled to borrow money in order to build his house usually endeavors to keep the sum that he borrows down to the lowest possible notch, and will cut down wherever he can in order to accomplish this object. But it is possible to carry this pruning too far.

For the sake of saving from one to five hundred dollars—and often nearer the former figure than the latter—he will omit such items as fireplaces, mantels, built-in china closets, or attractive stair finish. He thinks, perhaps, that after the mortgage has been paid off he will add these features that he has omitted; but he forgets that it will cost very much more to add them later than to put them in at the time of building; to say nothing of the fact that those things which we put off un- --- til another time are very apt to be left undone. It would be far wiser to cut down in some of the hidden features that he may regard as essential, rather than to omit those which show upon the surface and which make the difference between a box-like barracks and a home. When you stop to figure the matter out, the two or three hundred dollars additional which a man will have to borrow in order to include those items which will make his home attractive will at most add eighteen to twenty dollars a year to the interest charges which he will have to pay, while they will add fully a thousand dollars to the price he can realize for the house, or five dollars a BED RM 13'0"x9'0" BATH 9'0"x6'6" HALL 23'0" BED RM 13'0"x10'0" Second Floor Plan month—perhaps more—to the amount of rent he could get for it. Attractive wall papers, while adding much to the selling value of the house that is erected as a real estate speculation, especially when chosen with a good taste and artistic feeling that is now possible to command—even with the low-cost papers—can be better left for the future than any other item which the home builder needs to consider. Wall paper must be renewed every few years at best, and the paper hangers are no more objectionable to have about the house than the scrubwomen that seem to be an inevitable THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM part of the spring and fall house cleaning. Gas or electric features are another item that can, if necessary, be postponed till some time in the future, provided the house is piped or wired for them, because there is no need for expensive or disturbing mechanical work in placing them in position; but it is the poorest kind of economy to omit the necessary piping or wiring—according to the custom in the locality—or both in those towns where both gas and electricity are installed. But those features which are built into the house and which form an essential part of the construction or the finish should never be put off until a more convenient season, because the mechanical difficulty and the expense of adding them later will prevent them from ever being put in. The seat at the bottom of the stairs and which forms a part of the paneling should be built at the same time the stairs are, and made an essential feature of the design; and the same thing is true of the built-in china closet in the dining room. The design illustrated here, is an excellent example of the small house equipped with all the attractive little features that are so much appreciated by the housewife and in such demand by those who are looking to purchase a home, yet, at the same time, do not cost very much when provided for in the original plan and put in at the same time the rest of the work is done. A desirable feature of this design is the arrangement of the stair hall separated from the rooms of the first floor. This is the way it should be, in case it is ever desired to rent a room, since the rooms on the second floor are directly accessible from the front entrance without disturbing anyone on the first floor. The economy of this design may be seen from the fact that the house has been built as illustrated, using all first-class materials, for $2,500. The width of the house is 28 feet, the length 25 feet 6 inches. There are three rooms on the first floor and two rooms on the second floor, besides bathroom, large clothes closets, etc. The exterior appearance of this house is attractive and up-to-date. ```markdown ``` Five Per Cent Commission (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Miss Maggie Raines and her mother sat facing each other and saying never a word. They had talked for an hour. They had talked all there was to talk. They had tears in their eyes as they talked. For a year past Maggie had had a steady place as a stenographer at $12 per week, and she had done wonders with her salary; rent, fuel, provisions, clothing and car fare, and they did not owe a dollar. The average working girl is twice the financier that the average working man is. Things had gone very well with the little family, but now trouble had come. Maggie had lost her place at a day's notice. She wasn't despairing, but discouraged. She knew all about answering advertisements and tramping from office to office. It might be weeks before she was settled again, and what of the income? Down at the corner where the girl had taken the car every morning and left it every evening, was a real estate office. The proprietor was a middle-aged man, and he looked to be a good man. That is, he seemed to Maggie to have an honest face, and she thought there might be sympathy there for one in trouble. She didn't want charity, and she didn't want pity. She wanted a chance to help herself, just as it would be given to a young man. "Well?" queried the mother after a long silence. "I was wondering if I was as smart as most other girls," was the reply. "One of our stenographers quit her place two months ago and went to selling real estate on commission. She has made a hundred dollars a week." "Just think of that. Maggie!" "I am thinking of it. In the morning I am going down to have a talk with the real estate man on the corner. If I can make $25 a week it will be a great thing." "But how does any one sell real estate, dear? "I don't exactly know, but I guess most of it is done by talk. You make a person think he wants to buy, and then keep at him until he does buy." "Well, you have a coaxing way about you. You got the landlord to come down five dollars a month on the rent, and the grocer will sell you a pound of prunes a cent cheaper than he will me." Next morning Maggie Raines visited the real estate office. Mr. Stryker had just opened his mail and seemed perturbed, but he gave her his attention. In an embarrassed way, and yet with underlying confidence, she said she believed she could sell real estate, and she wanted a chance to try. Mr. Stryker didn't smile doubtfully nor sarcastically. He had been trying to sell real estate for a good many years, and had had poor luck at it, but he didn't even ask himself how a young stenographer who didn't know the value of a load of sand was going to make a success at it. He gave a minute or two to thought and then replied: "I will give you a chance, and a splendid one. I own 80 acres of timber land at Walnut Point, on Lake Huron. I have about closed a deal with a party in Buffalo. In fact, the deed is made out, and if handed to him the money would be passed." "And are you going there to close the deal?" Miss Maggie asked. "I was, but my wife has been taken seriously ill and I cannot leave her. I can give you power of attorney and send you, if you can go this evening and close the affair tomorrow. I will pay your expenses and give you five per cent. commission. You will net $250 for three days' work." "Oh, Mr. Stryker, but that's too much—altofter too much," exclaimed the astonished girl. "I'll be glad to go for $50." "Your commission will be the sum I have named. You will take along the deeds and a letter from me. You will, of course, say that you are connected with this office. You can say that other parties are after the land. If asked about my standing you can say it is of the highest. You can say that on a part of the land is a quarry of purest granite that when developed will be worth twenty times my asking price for the land. I have been told that the walnut trees alone on the land are worth half the price, and you can mention that incidentally. You must talk, Miss Raines—you must talk." "And bring back a certified check for the amount. Make the party understand that he is getting the bargain of his life, and that I am selling more to accommodate him than for any other reason. John D. Rockefeller would snap up Walnut Point in a minute at the price asked, but I have refused to deal with him. You may have seen him here at the door of the office the other day. You had best be ready to take the four o'clock train." There was rejoicing in the house of Raines. The sale was sure to go through and that $250 would solve many problems. It would be a starter for other sales, and after a bit Miss Maggle might be riding around in her own auto to hunt up customers. She rode all night, but she didn't sleep a wink. Over and over—a hundred times over—she repeated her lesson, and after her arrival and breakfast in Buffalo she sought the office of Mr. George McLane with the utmost con- "I certainly will." Edence. She hadn't been told whether he was old or young, but she had imagined white hair and chin whiskers and a benign countenance. She was therequire surprised to be ushered into an office where sat a young man of less than twenty-five, who had half a dozen letters from the morning mail before him. No chin whiskers—no benign! A very keen, good-looking young man she called him, and she suddenly found that she had temporarily forgotten even her own name. He opened two more letters to give her a chance to get her memory back, and then she began on her first real estate sale. Yes, Mr McLane had had some correspondence with Mr. Stryker about Walnut Point. Yes, he had about decided to close the deal. Yes, he had heard something about that granite, and some thing about Mr. Rockefeller. Yes, it was very kind of Mr. Stryker to offer him such a bargain. Miss Maggle Raines was exultant. That five per cent, commission was as good as in her purse. She was an unqualified success as a real estate seller. And then Mr. McLane showed her a letter from the west three days old. A part of it read: "The big storm caused the lake to cut through the Point and make a channel 200 feet wide. The gale did not leave fifty trees standing on the whole tract. I know that the old shark Stryker has been written to, and you look out that he don't stick you!" Miss Maggle laid down the letter and then covered her face with her hands and wept. "Of course, you didn't know," said the young man kindly. "Will you—you believe I didn't?" she asked. "I am sure you didn't. Stryker was trying to use you to swindle me. He was afraid to come himself. That's all fudge about a sick wife." "And I—I am an idiot!" she said as her tear came again. "Oh, no, no, no! It was five per cent. commission, you see. I shall be up your way in a day or two, and may I call and talk it over with you?" "But what is there to talk about? Stryker is a villain and I—m—" But yet when Mr. McLane called they found lots to talk about, and mother and daughter were glad that he came. Miss Maggie dropped real estate and took up stenography again, and Mr. McLane—. Well, when a young man will make a railroad journey of 40 miles every two weeks in order to spend four hours in the company of a young lady, it is to be concluded that there is something doing, and that Buffalo's next census will show at least another happy home. First English Play. Nicholas Udall's "Ralph Roister Doister," which was printed in 1566, was probably the first English play, and of the second of such comedies. "Gammer Gurton's Needle," which was performed at Cambridge in the same year. Careful students of the history of the English drama recognize the impracticability of drawing distinct lines of separation between the old miracle plays which were religious, the moralities which were transitional, and the plays of the distinctly secular stage. The earliest ascertained date of miracle plays in England is approximately 1110, in the reign of Henry I. At that time the miracle play of St. Catherine was acted at Dunstable. It is mentioned by Matthew Paris under its Latin name "Ludus de Sancta Katharina" as performed under the direction of a monk, Geoffrey, who later became abbot of St. Albans. The subject of the beginnings of English drama is presented in an interesting manner in Manley's "Specimens of the Pre-Shakespearean Drama." Europe's First Parrot So far as known, the first introduction of parrots into Europe occurred in the fourth century B. C., when it is related, one of the generals of Alexander's army, returning from India, brought with him specimens of the ring-necked parrakeet. These parrakeets, which were called "Alexandrian parrakeetes," after the monarchs in whose reign they were introduced, are still very popular with bird-fanciers, and are so common in India that sailors continually bring them to Europe and America. They are docle, and while slow in acquiring speech, finally make excellent talkers. Roman writers inform us that they were not eaten in India, but were held sacred because of their ability to reproduce human speech. There Were Others A couple were engaged to be married the other day in Chicago, and every preparation was made to celebrate the nuptials, but the bridegroom did not appear. A messenger, however, brought the news to the waiting party that he had business occupation in New York, and could not leave. The reply of the young lady was worthy of the occasion. With tear-drops glistening in her eyes, and her heart ready to burst with grief, she turned to the company and said: "I don't keer a darn, there's plenty more men in the world, anyhow!" The first system of police was inaugurated in England by Sir Robert Peel in 1814. THE KITCHEN CABINET OME say that we should Eat to live. And some say Live to eat. But look at it which ever way, 'Tis true, to live, we eat. THE presence of a large amount of cululose in food enables us often to satisfy the appetite without in- jury from over-eating. WAYS OF SERVING LIVER To many this plbeian dish will not appeal, but we can only feel sympathy for those we miss the good things that may be served alone and in combination with liver. For minced liver simmer the meat in water for twenty-five minutes. Then drain and chop finely. Add two onions chopped and pepper and salt. Return to the saucepan and cover with cold water and cook twenty minutes; then add enough bread crumbs to make it thick. Make a border of mashed potatoes around a platter and pour the minced liver in the center. Liver with bacon is the most common way of serving liver. Parboil the slices of liver, drain and roll in flour. Have a few slices of bacon fried until crisp; remove them and add an onion, cook until yellow, then remove and add the liver. Brown well on both sides, and when well cooked place on the platter and garnish with the bacon and rings of fried onion. Bacon and small pieces of liver placed alternately on skewers, then baked in the oven is another dainty way of serving liver. Roasted Liver.—Cut little slits in a fresh calf's liver and put into these slits small pieces of fat salt pork cut into strips. If you have, and can use, a larding needle, this may be done very neatly. Allow the liver to lie in the following mixture for an hour: The juice of one lemon, one tablespoonful of olive oil, a slice of onion, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, three cloves, a half a bay leaf and salt and pepper. Turn frequently while soaking. Drain and wrap in buttered paper and roast for an hour and a half, longer if the liver weighs very much. When nearly done remove the paper, dredge with flour and brown, basting with a little butter. Serve with a tomato sauce. Liver in Casserole—Lard the liver and lay it on a bed of diced vegetables. A few stalks of celery, a small turnip, one carrot, an onion and bits of salt pork. Add two cups of stock or boiling water, two cloves, a sprig of parsley and a fourth of a bay leaf. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender. Serve from the dish. A little flour may be added for thickening, if desired. DON'T hunt after trouble, but look for success. You find what you look for, don't look for distress. If you see but your shadow, remember. I pray. That the sun is still shining, but you're in the way. Don't grumble, don't bluster, don't dream and, don't shirk... Don't think of your worries, but think of your work.

Salmon, canned, or if one, is fortunate enough to live where they may be procured fresh, are one of our most satisfactory fish. They are so many nice ways of serving it that a few may be reminders. As a salad with a chopped pickle and a bit of celery and dressing it is universally liked. Salmon Loaf.—Shred with a fork a can of salmon, pour off the oil and set aside. Add one egg, three-fourths of a cup of milk, salt, two tablespoonfuls of butter, and three-fourths of a cup of bread crumbs. Mold in a leaf, put into a pan and pour over the oil; bake half an hour and serve with tomato sauce. A cup of strained tomato seasoned with red pepper, cloves and onion. Pour around the loaf and serve. When the fresh fish is obtainable, which is, of course, so very superior to the canned, try broiling a salmon steak. Dry it well, and dredge with flour, then lay on a well-buttered broiler or grilliron. If using an iron, turn with a broad-bladed knife and an egg whisk on top to prevent its breaking. When cooked to a light brown, lay on a hot platter, season with pepper and salt and serve at once. Salmon Corquettes.—These may be made from left-over salmon when it has been served plain. To half a can of salmon add a cup of bread crumbs and pepper and salt. Mix two mashed potatoes with the salmon and the white of an egg, well beaten. Roll in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Salmon served with macaroni makes a good dish; also with rice. Baked Salmon.—Take a small can of salmon, three eggs and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Drain the salmon, flake carefully, season with salt and pepper and mix with the three eggs, hard-cooked and chopped fine, and one and a fourth cups of bread crumbs. Soften with a half cup of milk or water, add the butter and form into a leaf. Bake twenty minutes. THE presence of a large amount of cellulose in food enables us often to satisfy the appetite without injury from over-eating. cellulose in a large amount of cellulose in food enables it often to satisfy the appetite without injury from over-eating. Cellulose is the woody fiber in fruits and vegetables. WHEN MARKETING. Remember that fresh fish have eyes bright, not glazed and sunken. The flesh is firm, the odor good. Look to see that your milk bottles hold the standard measure. They are usually a quarter of a cup short on a quart. This amounts to a good deal in the course of a year's bills. Does your baker carry bread uncovered through the street and handle it with uncovered hands? Or do you have it wrapped in paper? Pay a cent more and have clean bread. Never buy cheap cotton towelling for dish towels. Linen keeps white wears better, absorbs the water and are all-round better towels. Have a pair of scales, good reliable ones, in the kitchen, and keep a strict watch on the weights. A good merchant respects such a careful buyer and will see that she is fairly treated. When fruit juice refuses to jell, add a tablespoonful or two of vinegar to the juice. When fruit is high, save the peelings and ores and many an extra glass of good jelly may be added to the store. An easy way to fill preserve jars is to use a gravity boat. The handle makes it easy to dip and the spout is just right to enter the top of the jar. If fat or milk is spilled on a soft pine floor, or in fact on any floor, pour cold water on it at once and the fat will harden and save sinking into the floor and making a spot. Before using the casserole, put it into a pan of cold water and bring the water slowly to the boiling point. This tempers the dish and makes it bear strong heat without cracking. Boll about five minutes. Never let dish water dry in the towels; rinse first in cold water, then wash them in hot soap suds and rinse again, and dry. Towels cared for in this way will never get gray. Keep a cork on the letter file or spindle on your desk. It may save an eye or two. E. ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which B.

When cane seats in the chairs sag, turn them upside down and scrub with hot soapsuds, then rinse in hot water. When dry they will be drawn tight again. Insist upon getting sixty pounds of potatoes to a bushel, exclusive of the basket. Use the small-sized clothes pins; they stay on better than the large ones. Old oil cloth is useful for mats and pads to save the table. Cut in squares and use it under hot dishes. Old paint stains may be removed from cloth by rubbing first with olive oil and then with chloroform. Add sugar to fruit when half cooked, and save in the amount of sugar used. A crochet hook is a good article to keep in the bathroom to draw out lint, hairs, etc., from the paste pipes which stop the flow of water. A little powered pumice will remove stains from under the finger nails. Apply it with an orange stick. To keep corns from troubling rub them often with a fine piece of sand paper. To clean and renew the shine of leather, dust well, then rub with a mixture of three parts benzine and one of sweet oil. Dip a sperm candle in the hot starch just before taking off the stove, or add a piece of paraffin as large as a pea. It keeps the starch from sticking. A shoe case to hold half a dozen pairs of shoes and slippers is almost an indispensable addition to the inside of the closet door. The shoes are always in pairs and can be found in the dark. As a perspiration deodorant soda is excellent. It is used dusted on like powder. To prevent the sink pipe from clogging, use plenty of washing soda in hot water once a week. Nellie Maxwell.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, it came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura, and purchased some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cuticura Booklet, and when she was one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

None of the doctors understood my case and I felt myself sinking lower day by day. I improved rapidly through the use of Doan's Kidney Pills and at last was entirely cured."

If old clothes are the racket, I can make a splurge." You L Because of tho IT SAVES TIME AND TEMPER Wise and Methodical Housewives Have a Cleaning Up Day About Once a Month. A good plan followed by methodical housewives is to set aside a day occasionally—say, once in four months or so—for a general clearance of oddments and the putting straight of cupboards and wardrobes. One whole day passed in thus attending to details will result, later on, in the saving of valuable time and perhaps, of temper also. Apart from such important items as checking the contents of the linen cupboard of kitchenware, etc., there are many things in the home that require regular attention. On the "miscellaneous" day it is as well to lay down a dusting sheet in one particular room, which will serve as a receptacle for all rubbish intended to be thrown away. Writing desks will probably require considerable attention; old blotting paper should be consigned to the dusting sheet and replaced by fresh blotting paper; inkpots that have become clogged should be emptied, washed and refilled; pencils should be sharpened; old nibs thrown away and fresh ones substituted. Another little task for the "miscellaneous" day is to collect together blunt knives and scissors and send them to be sharpened. Music, too, may be looked through and torn pieces set aside for mending later on. Then again, if time permits, it is well to include in this occasional work the overhauling of traveling trunks, noting any repairs that may be necessary, seeing that straps are in their places and locks and keys in good order, and polishing any leather trunks that look dusty, and would be the better for the application of nourishing cream. LEGS FOR TRUNK DEVISED They Are Pivotally Attached to the Corners and Fold Along the Bottom. An Illinois man's device for supporting steamer and other small trunks so that the owner does not have to break his back or get down on his knees to get into them should interest many people. This supporting device consists of four legs, each pivotally attached to a corner of the A woman stands behind a table, presenting a roll of paper. trunk at the bottom. When not in use the legs fold up along the bottom line of the trunk and protect the corners. When the receptacle is to be packed or unpacked or is to be used as a bureau in a two-by-four hotel room, the legs can be extended and locked into position, supporting the trunk about eight inches above the floor and making it much easier or access. In either the extended or the folded position the legs are so firmly locked that there is no danger of their collapsing, in the one instance, or being broken off, in the other. Removing Grease. If your kitchen table is spotted with grease, or if the dresser has dabs and spots of grease on it, you can clean the woodwork perfectly by scrubbing it vigorously with hot water to which a teaspoonful of whiting has been added. Wipe thoroughly dry with a clean cloth and the wood will be as good as new. It is well to have both table and dresser covered with white table oil cloth that can be washed after each meal. If you do use oil cloth provide yourself with thick mats of cardboard or asbestos on which to set hot plates or skillets, for n-at will surely ruin any oil cloth with which it comes directly in contact.

MONROE DRUG COMPANY, Quincy, IL INDIGNANT AT THE INJUSTICE Scholars Would Not Stand to See Much-Loved Teacher Not Getting Her Rights. The following incident told of a public school teacher of cheery manner and marked ability, noted for her success in leading backward or unwilling pupils along the rocky road of knowledge. In laboring with an especially trying class she was wont to encourage the members by such confident remarks as "Of course we can do it!" "Of course we can learn this lesson as well as other people, if we try!" As examination time drew near and the little ones became more nervous, she changed her tune to "Of course we're going to pass!" The children did pass, duly, but, natural pleasure in the unexpected success having evaporated, were sulky and disagreeable almost beyond belief. It took their new teacher a long time to get at the root of the misunderstanding, over which they whispered in corners and because of which they treated her like a bitter enemy. At last, however, she drew from the most pliable youngster this indignant, tearful admission: "We ain't a-goin' ter study no more in this darned ole school. Here, we come up from Miss Blank's room, an' she stays down there all alone, when she knows so much more than we do. It's a plumb shame, that they didn't let her pass, too!" A Matter of Creed. "Two men were disputing over their respective churches," says the Slater News in reviving an old story which is still good. "One was a Baptist and the other a Presbyterian. Finally one of them called a neighbor who was passing and asked his opinion as to which was the better church in which to be saved. 'Well, neighbor,' he said, 'son and I have been hauling wheat for nearly forty years. There are two roads that lead to the mill. One is the valley road and the other leads over the hill, and never yet has the miller asked me which road I came, but he always asks, 'Is the wheat good?'"—Kansas City Times. FACTS ABOUT BLUING.
