WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE LA FOLLETTE U.S. SENATORIAL TROUGH GUBENA TORIAL TROUGH VOLUME VII. LA FOLLE GUBENA TORIAL TROUGH THE GOVERNOR-SENATOR. The time is now approaching when the Congress of the United States will meet at the Capitol for the transaction of public business, and it is the intention of the constitution that all of these states shall be represented by a certain number of representatives in the lower house and by two in the Senate. Heretofore this law has been thought to be incontrovertible. But the constitution is a matter of very small concern to present Senator-Gov. La Follette, so long as it conflicts with his pet schemes and personal ambitions—and even the former of these have been subordinated to the latter. Just so long as Gov. La Follette thinks he can pose before the God's patient poor as their hero, the protector of their rights, and the redresser of their supposed wrongs, so long will he stand in the way of the people of this state having the full representation in Congress to which they are entitled. The present Legislature of this state paid the highest compliment and bestowed the highest honor within its power when it elected Robert M. La Follette as a member of the Senate of these United States, and it was the bounden duty of any one with a single spark of true honor and nobility of character either at once to accept or decline the great honor thus conferred upon him. Instead of doing either of these things, however, he, in his self-conceit, imagining that he has been destined to fulfill a mission in Wisconsin, which in his opinion no other person could equally fulfill, has acted the part of the dog in the manger, or as our illustration portrays. Mr. La Follette probably, knowing how well he has hypnotized his followers in Wisconsin fears to trust his political barque on the more stormy sea of national politics. By so doing in our opinion he shows a woeful lack of confidence in his own powers. Or is it possible that he can imagine an execution will be made in his favor and he be permitted to fill the double position of governor of and senator for Wisconsin, just because that state has permitted him to fill the double position of governor and lecturer (or agitator) at large at a handsome double salary for the last three years? Gov. La Follette has called an extra session of the Legislature, which means that for two more months at least Wisconsin will be represented by only one senator. Mr. La Follette probably thinks that Senator Spooner's record is sufficient for any two ordinary men. While this may be true, it does not alter the case that Gov. La Follette, while posing as a protector of the people's rights, is himself one of the worst violators of the same by depriving the people of his state of their rights in the matter of representation to Congress. Gov. La Follette should be made to understand that no one man power will stand for any length of time in this rugged country, and that although intoxicated with the measure of success he has achieved he cannot and will not be allowed to act as a dictator. Thought He Was Dead. "Shut up an' be dead. What's th' use of spoillin' the game when everything goin' nice; ye always was a quitter," remarked Max Davis, as he pushed Joseph Oderbralski back onto the stretcher of the county morgue wagon, and sat heavily upon his chest to enforce his demands. "But I ain't dead," wailed Odebralski. "I don't wanna to get pinched for false pretenses. I can't help it if I ain't dead, but I'm dog-goned if I'm a-goin' to act like a corpse until I am one." "Shut up an' make a noise like stiff," commanded Deputy Coroner Henry Grundan, as he thrust his head into the front end of the wagon, viewed the pair with disapprobation, and drove on again whistling the "Dead Mouth in Saul." The morgue wagon had been called at the earnest solicitation of Davis. The two had been drinking in saloons near the Holton street viaduct, when Odebralski become unconscious, bleeding at the nose. Believing his trusty Achates dead, Davis called the morgue wagon. Odebralski recovered before reaching the morgue and was taken to the Emergency hospital. After restoratives had been applied he was sent to his home, 892 Warren avenue.—Evening Wisconsin, Milwaukee. A Submarine Battle On a shallow short of Long island, near New York, extend long sandy beaches. These often are interrupted by creeks or little inlets into which the tide runs at high water, running out again when the tide falls. Standing on a bridge over one of the runways I happened to see a big crab making a dinner upon a piece of fish which he held firmly in one claw. Around him, but at a safe distance, were several smaller crabs, who did their best to join in the big crab's dinner. Meanwhile, the big fellow had no time to loiter over his meal, for in spite of his clever sparring with his free hand every now and then one of his small enemies succeeded in making a successful raid, and retreated safely with a bit of the fish. Still, between attacks, big Mr. Crab was holding his provisions so fast that the little pirates would soon be defeated, unless they could invent a better plan of attack. They had been making quick dashes and still quicker retreats, but the big crab, by wheeling to and fro, and by striking out or snapping his nippers at them, made a successful defense. He had only to turn as if on a pivot, while they must advance and retreat some distance. Therefore, the small fry consulted their ingenuity, and adopted a new plan of attack. One by one they scurried up stream, keeping near its banks, until they were about eight feet above the defender of the fish. As each reached the right distance he would launch himself into the swiftest part of the current, and let himself be whirled downward. By the time the young cruiser-crab was opposite the big battleship-crab he would be going so fast that it was hard to hit him or to grip him, and yet he, keeping head on, and having to make no effort, except a single, quick grab at the fish, was able to score a frequent success. No sooner did the big battleship-crab avoid one little cruiser than another was upon him, and his store of food rapidly diminished. Seeing that his defense was overcome, the big fellow gave up any attempts to fight, and devoted himself to eating as fast as possible. In a few moments the fish was gone, and the battle was over. But it certainly was an uncomfortable way of taking dinner.—for both parties to the battle. Civilization has its advantages.—Forest and Stream. Human Skulls Are Shipped. Human skulls are to be shipped from Saginaw, Mich., to Scotland. The gruesome shipment will be made by W. Knox of Cleveland, O., senior member of the firm of Knox & Elliott, architects. While inspecting the electric plant at Bridgeport, he became greatly interested in the excavations in the Indian burying ground which was uncovered in the operations there, and eagerly gathered up relics. The work of digging up the skeletons is still going on. The bones are being thrown up continually and while in Bridgeport Mr. Knox was able to secure two practically perfect skulls. These he will send to his brother, Dr. D. M. Knox, who is a surgeon connected with the University of Glasgow, Scotland. The skull of the American Indian, he thinks, should prove very interesting to those in the old world as it differs very materially from that of the white man. -A dietary of fruits and nuts has been tested in various experiments at the University of California. These experiments have demonstrated that both fruits and nuts furnish the body with energy, while the nuts yield some fattening materials also. CREAM CITY NOTES.

St. Mark's church annual fair was opened Tuesday evening. Unusual interest is attached to this event this year as the pastor, Rev. Dr. Butler, and the trustees are endeavoring to pay off a mortgage on their property, amounting to over $500. The hall of the church was fitted up with stalls containing the usual articles on an occasion of the kind and made quite an attractive appearance. While many of the articles are the handiwork of the ladies of the congregation, a large number were donated by merchants of the city and friends of the members. The following were the stalls and the ladies who presided over them: Stall No. 1 (trustees), confectionery and notions, cigars, etc., Mrs. Mosette and Mrs. Peoples; stall No. 2 (deaconesses and missionary board), dry goods and fancy articles; Mrs. D. E. Butler and Mrs. Toals; No. 3 (Stewardesses), silverware, chinaware and notions; Mrs. A. L. Herron and Mrs. O'Neal; No. 4 (church aid), dry goods, notions and fancy articles; Mrs. Gant and Mrs. William Coleman. The general secretary was Mrs. Laura Williams, and Mrs. Shaw, assistant secretary. These were assisted by a numerous staff of assistants in and out of the congregation. Special entertainments were provided for each evening. That of Tuesday evening was a presentation of a scene in fairyland, directed by Mrs. A. L. Herron, in which about a score of girls and boys took part. The programme was a lengthy one and the performers did themselves proud and reflected the highest credit on the painstaking efforts of their trainer, Mrs. Herron, and her youngsters received compliments from all sides at the close of the scene. When all did their parts so well it would be invidious to single out any one for special praise, but we cannot refrain from saying that Miss Marie Antoinette Burgette displayed very marked talent in the parts assigned to her. Miss Cecil Carter also is deserving of special notice for her tasteful and finished rendering of the songs sung by her. On Wednesday evening there was a short musical and dramatic entertainment arranged by Mrs. Harry Williams. In this Miss Gerty Thornton displayed her fine powers in a very forceful recitation, which was deservedly enceded. Mrs. Williams' rendering of two songs was much appreciated, and a short scene by a bevy of school girls was effectively rendered and showed careful training on the part of their instructor and considerable talent by the girls. Miss Gerty Redd especially displayed very marked histrionic talent. Thursday evening (Thanksgiving) was the notable evening of the week. Prof. E. Williams presented his famous moving pictures, which were much appreciated by an audience which filled the church to overflowing, after which the Hon. F. L. McGhee of St. Paul, one of the most prominent criminal lawyers in the northwest, delivered an address, taking as his subject, "Men Immortal." A special feature of the evening was the presence of the newly formed New-Port Protective Aid society in a body. These men made a fine appearance and created a very favorable impression in their favor. [It may be said here that at a recent meeting of that body a resolution was passed that in order to live up to the principles of their order and its constitution no Sunday dances would be promoted by the society.] Mr. McGhee in commencing his address referred to the Niagara movement and took the opportunity to deny the preconceived impression in the minds of many that this movement was in opposition to other associations of which Booker T. Washington was the ruling spirit. He said that the leaders of this movement had set apart that day all over the country to advocate its principles, which were for the advancement and protection of the Negro race. After paying a high compliment to the men of the Protective Aid society the honorable and learned gentleman proceeded with his address, which was a masterpiece of eloquence. The "Men immortal" he referred to were not the Alexanders on Napoleons of the world, but men such as John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglas, Prof. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington. The lecture was listened to by an audience who sat spellbound. At will Mr. McGhee could move it to laughter or tears, and he left what we should imagine to be an indelible impression for higher ideals on his large audience. The lecturer was introduced by his brother professional, Attorney W. T. Green, and besides him on the platform were the Rev. Dr. Butler. Rev. Harry Williams, Messrs Lucian Palmer, J. D. Cook and R. B Montgomery. Before the address a collection was taken for the benefit of the fair when a handsome sum was realized. The new society gave a separate offer ing amounting to $10, and Dr. Butler in thanking them said that its name would be inscribed on the church's roll of honor. Friday evening a dramatic and musical entertainment arranged by the Ladies of the Pastors Aid society will be given, after which there will be an auction of the articles remaining over and a most successful fair brought to a close. KICKED GIFT HORSE IN FACE. Turns Down Two Nominations-One Proved Very Handsome. When a man is fool enough to kick a gift horse in the face he ought to have no vain regrets, has long been the philosophy of Abe Meyers, a wealthy property owner of Brownsville, a section of Brooklyn. But Meyers has changed his tune, and excited comment recently by occasionally walking into a corner and kicking himself. Early in October Meyers was playing pinochle in the rear of a Brownsville saloon with Alexander Rosenthal and a third man, a German, who, it is said, can speak scarcely half a dozen words of English. The municipal ownership club had just sprung into life in the district, and organizers were looking about for a man of some popularity in the neighborhood. An officer of the club approached the men playing pinochle and addressed Meyers: "Mr. Meyers, we would like to nominate you for alderman in this district." "Don't make me laugh," retorted Meyers, "I'm busy." The Hearst man persisted, and finally Meyers said: "Well, if you are so hard up for a candidate, put up my friend here," nodding toward the German. "He's a good fellow and doesn't mind having his name on the sign." The German's name went down on the list. But the municipal ownership man was not through. He asked Meyers if he would accept the nomination for municipal court justice. "Nix," replied Meyers. "I don't want to be a joke in the district. Why don't you put up Rosenthal here. He's a good fellow. He ain't so sensitive about being joked with." Rosenthal's name also went down. Both men were elected. Rosenthal will soon be in a ten-year job at $6000 a year. GRAVESTONES FOR SIDEWALK. Monument Man Utilizes Leftover Goods in Unique Manner. La Crosse, Wis., has the distinction of being perhaps the only city in the United States that can boast of having within its limits a sidewalk made of grave stones. Thomas Shimmin, the monument man residing on Twelfth and State streets, is the owner of this unique sidewalk, and thousands of citizens have walked over it and marveled at its strangeness during the past few weeks. Grave stones that were ordered by various bereaved people and never called for form the nucleus of the walk. Between the blocks cement fills in the irregularities formed by stones which do not jibe. It is not only the most unique but also the most expensive walk in the city. If the stones had been ordered cut for the purpose the walk would cost several hundred dollars. Epitaphs alone are lacking on the grave stones or were until Halloween night, when some village wag got busy with a blue crayon pencil. The epitaphs inscribed on the stones, however, were not exactly in keeping with their sacred character. The inscriptions were the source of much amusement to passersby until footsteps finally obliterated them. Dozens of epitaphs such as "Here's to a boy killed by a skyrocket which most unexpectedly went off in his pocket," and "Cursed be the bones that lay these stones," graced the blocks for several days. Bride Deserts at Altar. When everything was in readiness for the marriage of Minnie Hartsboorn to J. H. Olthof at Kalamazoo, the bride-to-be suddenly asked to be excused a moment while she went to her room. Minutes flew by with the assembled company standing about the rooms and the lonely groom facing the minister. One after another of the members of the family went in search of the girl, but without avail. It developed that she had disappeared. Later the girl returned, explaining that she had been at the home of a friend. She concluded at the last moment that Olthof, who is 56, was too old for a husband and she concluded not to marry him. Olthof's only comment is that "she who does not care for me is not worthy of me." The Hartsboorns are wealthy Hollanders. Will Sue King Alfonso. Fernandez Duro, an amateur aeronaut, will sue King Alfonso for $12,000 for damaging his balloon. The King, while attending the recent contests between balloons and automobiles, found Duro's balloon unattended. He entered the car and began throwing out the ballast, intending to make an ascent. One of his aids arrived and realized that the King was engaged in a dangerous freak. He clambered into the car as it was rising and ripped open the balloon for the purpose of letting the gas out. The King, of course, could not ascend. Duro's efforts to obtain compensation for his damaged balloon have been in vain and he will therefore bring the matter before the courts.

The editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate has just returned from a tour of the central and northern part of the state, during which he had the opportunity of meeting with many prominent politicians, and among them aspirants for the office of governor of the state. Of all these aspirants and prospective or receptive candidates he has no hesitation in picking out as the man of the people, well worthy of the honor and capable of filling the office worthily, Senator J. J. McGillivray of Black River Falls, a man who has already served his state in a highly commendable manner—the man who saved the people of the state many millions of dollars during the recent session of the Legislature—a square man who will not stand for any graft or doubtful dealings, and withal a gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet on account of his pleasing and agreeable manners. The people of Wisconsin, by elevating him to the high office of governor of the state, would not find in him a man whose highest ambition it is to be dictator instead of governor. Another gentleman who is excellent timber for the governorship would be Senator Hatten of New London, who, however, declares that he is not to be considered as a candidate, actual or receptive, and whose opinion is that Senator McGillivray is the only one of those mentioned as candidates who would weld the different factions together and bring forth peace and harmony out of chaos and discord. Even although such a strong man as Senator Stout is urging Senator Hatten to let his name be mentioned that gentleman is firm in his resolve as above stated. Senator Hatten might also have the nomination and election as congressman for his district, but his ambition does not tend in that direction. Another candidate whose name is prominently brought out by his friends is the cold, impassive chairman of the state central committee, W. D. Connor of Marshfield. In the opinion of the editor, formed by conversation with men conversant with things political in the state, that gentleman has not the ghost of a show, and his candidacy is looked upon more as a joke than taken in a serious manner. The next candidate is the ever-persistent office seeker and holder, the present Lieut.-Gov. Davidson. The great majority of his party cannot see that he has any claim upon them for support, as in the minor office he has not shown any marked tendency to executive ability. Some of his intimates even go to the length of saying that the lieutenant governor would do better to go to his native country and take office under the newly elected King, because there his conversation could be understood, which is not always the case in the state over which he aspires to rule. It is clearly to be seen that the administration men are willing to give him the cold hand and a throw down. The most dangerous opponent of the Black River Falls man is the soi disant countryman of the lieutenant governor, Speaker Irving L. Lenroot of West Superior. In the opinion of the editor and many others besides who "know the ropes," his election would be tantamount to a continuation of La Folletteism (as Lenroot would simply be the mouthpiece of the governor-senator), which would indeed be a calamity, an overwhelming calamity. So taking all the aspirants and those urged by their friends to become candidates, the editor has formed no other conclusion but that J. J. McGillivray is the fit and proper person to promote to the high honor of governor of the state of Wisconsin. LATEST IS PHONOPOSTAL. Record of Human Voice Is Carried on Postal Card. The phonopostal is an apparatus which registers and afterward reproduces the human voice by means of a sheet of pasteboard shaped like a postal card. The records are made by an ordinary phonograph of the simplest possible type simply by means of a stylus provided with a sapphire point. This point presses on an impressionable substance spread on the surface of the card. The merit of the invention consists in the discovery of a substance which can be easily spread on a sheet of cardboard and possesses all the advantages of the wax-coated cylinders. Moreover, it is able to stand the strain of transmission by mail. The sounds are inscribed in a spiral, which commences at the outside edge of the card and continues in an ever-narrowing curve until it forms a small circle. The record is so deeply engraved in the coated cardboard that not more than two or three syllables are lost by the two stampings of the postoffice on the concentric lines. Seventy-five or eighty words can be inscribed on a phonocard, which is sufficient for news.—La Nature. Whisky in the Pillows. A good many stories are told of the ingenius tricks resorted to by moonshiners in disposing of illicit whisky. Perhaps the most common is one used by the natives. It is to leave a jug and a half dollar on some particular stump or log; the next move is to go away for a short time, and on returning the half dollar will be gone, but the jug will be covered (inside) with "mountain dew." Burton Holmes, the traveler, tells the following story of an experience he had early this fall in the mountains of Tennessee: "I had joined a camping party near NUMBER 39. the small town of Jellico, which is on the state line between Tennessee and Kentucky. Some one in the party suggested a trip up the mountains to get pine needles or balsam pillows, from the mountaineers who sell them to the few tourists that reach this wild region of the Blue Ridge. It was after several hours' hard climbing that we saw our first cabin. We went over, and after several whoops and calls our efforts were rewarded by a woman coming to the door. We asked if she had any pine needles for sale. Instead of answering she slowly, and with great care, looked us over. I could see that her inspection more or less satisfied her, but she said she 'didn't know.' she would 'have to see,' and turning she went back into the house. Almost immediately we could hear a hurried conversation that was being carried on in low tones, and in a surprisingly short time a man appeared and asked what kind of pillows we were looking for, 'men's or women's.' Not a little surprised at the strange question. I replied that we would like a few of both. My answer evidently puzzled him, for his eyes narrowed into a peculiar squint and he told us he did not have any 'made up,' but that we could have loose balsam, for these, at the rate of 50 cents a pillow. He said he had men's pillows all ready, but they would be $1.56 each. Finally we were fitted out with enough balsam to make pillows for the women and each man in the party had under his arm a rude sack-like pillow that felt as though it contained a brick. We had all been wondering what made the pillows so heavy until curiosity finally overcame one of the men, and with the help of a penknife he started an investigation. The mystery was soon solved, for when he withdrew his hand a full quart bottle of moonshine whisky came with it. Needless to say none of us that had purchased 'men's pillows' could use them to sleep on until slight alterations had been made.—Brooklyn Eagle. Upon Writing in Albums. The most cheerful sufferer from the plague of albums, which raged fearfully in his day, was, as might be expected. Charles Lamb. He disliked them almost as cordially as did Thackeray some years later; but he had a curious habit of doing things which he did not want to do, and which he did not deem worth doing, for the sake of giving pleasure to the insignificant people about him. The mental attitude which makes this habit a possibility is hard to understand. It is too infrequent to be regarded with tolerance. We sympathize with Thackeray, who, being badgered to write in an album already graced by the signatures of several distinguished musicians, said curly: "What! among all those fiddlers!" It is the reasonableness of such ill nature which appeals to our instincts of self-preservation. But when we find Lamb driving his pen along its unwilling way, and admitting ruefully that the road was hard— "My feeble Muse, that fain her best would Write at command of Frances West Write at command of Frances Westwood, But feels her wits not in their best mood, we resent the inexplicable sweetness of temper which left him defenseless before marauders. Why should Frances Westwood have commanded his services? Why should Frances Brown, "engaged to a Mr. White," have wrung from him a dozen lines of what we now call "copy?" She had no recognizable right to that copy; but Lamb confided to Mrs. Moxon that he had sent it to her at "24 hours' notice" because she was going to be married and start with her husband for India; and also that he had wholly and happily forgotten what he had written, save only two lines— "May your fame And fortune, Frances, whiten with your name." of which conceit he was innocently proud.—Agnes Repplier, in August Lippincott's. Pony Saves Girl's Life. Genevieve Reddington, 12 years old, was saved from being killed by two panthers in a canyon near Cullen, Okla., by her pony, which set upon the beasts and drove them away by blows from its hoofs. The girl was riding, when the great cats rushed upon her from the jungle. Her pony stopped, frightened at the sight of the beasts, and they dragged the girl from the saddle. They had almost stripped her clothing and were rolling her over and over on the ground, when the pony ran at them and began kicking. One of its hoofs struck the girl in the head, rendering her unconscious. When she regained consciousness the pony was standing quietly by her side, and the panthers had disappeared. Married in Uncut Corn. Under the soft glow of the November harvest moon and in the middle of a field of several hundred acres of uncut corn, Earl E. Campbell and Amber H. Stricklin were married at midnight. The guests had assembled at the Stricklin home when the groom suddenly remembered that he had procured the license in Cherokee, Ia., while the wedding ceremony was scheduled to take place in Ida county. After a hurried consultation it was decided that in order that no question should ever be raised over the legality of the nuptial contract an adjournment should be taken to a high knoll on the Stricklin farm, just over the county line, where the ceremony was performed.

Where was this country situated? In the mountain or in the plain, at the shore of a river or by the sea? This the story does not tell. Perhaps it was near the kingdom where the dressmakers were very skillful in adorning the robes of the princesses with moons and with stars. And what was the offense from which the fairy haé suffered? With regard to this also the story is silent. Perhaps they hed omitted to offer up prayers to her at the baptism of the king’s daugh- ter. However this might be, it is cer- tain enough that the fairy was in a great rage. She asked herself at first whether she should devastate the country by sending out the thousands of spirits that served her to set fire to all the palaces and all the éottagers, or whether she should cause all the lilacs and all the roses to fade, or whether she should turn all the young girls into ugly old women. She could have let loose all the four winds upon the streets and laid low the houses and trees. At her command _ fire-spitting mountains would have buried the entire land with burning lava and the sun would have turned from its path so as not to shine upon the accursed city, But she did still worse. Like a thief who leisurely chooses the most precious jew- els in a case, she removed from the mem- ory of men and women the three divine words: “I love you!” | And having brought this affliction, she removed herself with a light smile on her lips that would have been more hideous than the church of the devil if she had not had the most beautiful rosy lips in all creation. i. At first the men and women only half perceived the wrong that was done them. it seemed to them that they lacked something. but they did not know what. The sweethearts that met in the evening in the eglantine lanes, the married couples who talked confidingly to each other be- hind closed windows and drawn curtains, suddenly interrupted themselves and looked at each other or embraced; they felt, indeed, that they wanted to pro- nounce a certain customary phrase, but they did not even have an idea of what that phrase was. They were astonished, uncasy, for they did not ask each other any questions, for they did not know what question to ask, so complete was their forgetfulness of the precious word. But they did not suffer very much as yet, for they had the consolation of possess- ing so many other words that they could whisper to each other, and of so many caresses, Alas! It was not long before they were seized with a profound melancholy. It was in vain that they adored each other, that they called each other by the tenderest names, and talkel the sweet- est language. It was not enough to de- clare that all the bliss lay in their kisses; | to swear that they were ready tovdie, he | for her and she for him; to call each other: “My soul! my flame! my dream!” They instinctively felt the need of saying and hearing another word, more exquisite than all other words, and with the bitter memory of the ecstacy that was con- tained in this word came the anguisl of never being able to utter or to hear it any more. Quarrels followed in the wake of this distress. Judging ais happiness incom- plete on account of the avowal that was henceforth denied to the most ardent lips, the lover demanded from her and she from him just the thing which neither the one nor the other could give, without either knowing what or being able to name it. They accused each other of coldness, of perfidy, not believing in the tenderness which was not expressed as they desired. Thus the sweethearts soon ceased to have their rendezvous in the lanes where the eglantines grew, and even after the windows were closed the conjugal cham- bers heard only dry conversations in easy chairs that were never brought near each other. Can there be joy without love’ If the country which had ineurred the hatred of the fairy had been ruined by war, or devastated by pestilence, it could |not have been as desolate, as mournful. as forlorn, as it had become on account |of the three forgotten words. Hi. There lived in this country a poet | whose plight was even more pitiful than that of the rest. It was not because, (having a beautiful sweetheart, he was jin despair for not being able te say and ‘|}to hear the stolen word. He had no || sweetheart, for he was too much in jove with ‘he muse. But it was because he || Was unable to finish a poem which he had | begun the day before the wicked fairy ‘|}had accomplished her vengeance. And | why? Beeause it just happened that the | poem was to wind up with “I love you!” |and it was impossible to end it in any other way. | The poet struck his brow, took his head between his hands, and asked himself: '|“Have I gone ;mad?” He was certain, however, that he had found the words that were to precede the last point of ex- ciamation before he had commenced to write the stanza. The proof that he had found these words was that the rhyme with which they were to go, and which of interrupted poems!—sitting at Teacalne of the forest near the limpid fountains where the fairies have the habit of dancing of an evening in the light of the stars. IV. 3 | Now as he sat ones musing under the boughs of a tree, the wicked, thieving fairy saw him and loved him, One is not a fairy for nothing, and a fairy does not stand on ceremony. Swifter than a Lutterfly kisses a rose she put her lips ‘upon his gp and the poet, greatly occu- pied though he was with his ode, could not help but feel the heavenliness of her earess. Blue and rose diamond grottces opened up in the depths of the earth, gardens of lilies spread out there, lum- inous as the stars; thither the poet and ahs fairy were drawn in a chariot of gold in their flight; and for a very long time they loved each other, forgetful of all but their kisses and suiles. Gnomes dressed in violet satin, elves attired in a misty haze, performed dances before them that fell in rhythm with the music of unseen orchestras, while flitting hands ‘that had no arms brought thea ruby baskets of snow-white fruit, pecfumel like a white rose and like a virgin bosom. Or, to please the fairy more, the poet re- cited, while striking the cords of a theorbo, the most beautiful verses his faney could conceive a: | Fairy that she was, she had never Snes joy comparable to this of being sung by a beautiful younz man who in- yented new songs every day, and when he grew silent and she felt the breatn of his mouth very near her, pa-sing through her hair, she melted away with tenderness. ‘Their happiness seemed to be without end, Days passed by, many, many days, but nothing occurred to disturb their joy. ‘Nevertheless she had moments of gloom, when she would sit musing. with her cheek on her hand and her hair falling down in streams to her hips. ~O queen!” he cried, “what is it that makes you sad, and what more can you desire, seeing that we are so happy in ‘the midst of all our pleasures, you who zre all-powerful, you who are so beauti- ful?” She did not answer at first, but when he insisted she sighed and said: “Alas! Iam sad because you have never told me: ‘L love you!” He did not pronounce the words. but he uttered a ery of joy at having found again the end of his poem. In vain the fairy attempted to retain him in the blue and rose-diamond grottoes, in the gardens of lilies that were as luminous as the stars. He returned to earth, completed, wrote and published his ode, in which the men and women of the afflicted coun- try found again the divine words that they had lost. Now there were rendezvouses again in the lanes, and warm, amorous conversa- tions at the conjugal windows. It is because of poetry that the kisses are sweet, and lovers say nothing that the poets have not syng.—Catulle Men- des in Current Literature. ‘5 ANTI-SLIPPING ATTACHMENT For Use Upon Pneumatic or Cushion Tires of Vehicle Wheels. The pneumatic or cushion tire is such an improvement over the iron tire used on vehicies that its use is becoming uni- versal; but the rubber, being susceptible to changes of temperature—contracting and expanding with the heat and cold— difficulty has been experienced in pre- venting the tire from slipping off the wheel of the vehicle. As yet no satis- factory device has been devised which thoroughly overcomes this fault. A unique contrivance is the one_shown in the illustration, patented by a New York man. It comprises a chain which takes a zig-zag course upon the circumference Th <a x : Se WO AS \ BS of the tire and is anchored at inierrals by means of double-ended snap hooks to a chain passing adjacent to the rim of the wheel. This chain is made up of links, turning buckles being positioned at intervals to connect the sections of the chain und to draw and hold it taut. Another chain is placed zig-zag over the surface of the tire and is connected at intervals with the lower chain by means of double-ended snap hooks. These hooks are each made of a piece of metal bent to form hooks, while the shank of each hook is concaved to conform to the contour of the tire. In applying this anti-slipping attachment to wheels the inner ends of the hook are caught into links of the lower chain, there being two of these chains, one on each side of the wheel. The upper chain is run zig-zag over the surface of the tire, being made to engage alternate hooks upon opposite sides of the wheel, and when the chain has been run about the entire circumfer- ence of the wheel, the turnbuckies are operated to draw the lower chain taut. ‘This device can be applied to a tire while it is in an inflated or deflated condition, and can be quickly attached or detached from a vehicle wheel. Wo Getting Awav from Wrinklec A drastic method of smoothing a wrinkled forehead is to make a little slit at the roots of the hair, pull the skin up smooth and secure it there. A titled American woman had such an operation performed, says The Pilgrim, and only a slight sear, which the hair covered, remained to show what had been done. Her forehead was as smooth as that of a debutante. “But,” said the specialist, “if you frown or think hard the wrinkles will come back again.” ————$—$— No More “Katy” Girl.

The method used makes it unnec- essary for the patient to stay in a san- itarium and all of the treatment is car- ried on in the homes of the patients. The faculty regards the new method as peculiarly advantageous, because _ it reaches the poor, domg away with the large item of expense incurred when the patient goes to a sanitarium. Medicine is given to him when necessary, a slight charge being made if he is able to pay it. Declaring their decision appeared un- fair to their own members board three of the United States general appraisers decided a test case under the pure food law against C. D.

This company _ protested against paying duty upon twelve bottles of imported wine which had been con- sumed in tests for adulteration whici were made by the department of agricul- ture. These bottles were part of a large shipment.

It is announced that Mrs. Stuyvesant Fis) craves the Kohinoor, or at least that she has lost interest in small jewels, and the so-called artistic jewelry which has so fascinated the miiltlonaive class for the last few seasons. She says that she no longer will wear a large quan- tity of smal Istones, set in weird and quaint effects, for the art of Lalique has had its day, and society women who can afford good jewels will demand large solitaires with settings that will not be- dim their luster. Mrs. Fish also says that the gold and silver chatelaines which have been so popular are decidedly ostentatious, and will not be carried by the women in her circle. Burnett Y. Tiffany, a son of the late Charles L. Tiffany, and his wife, Lucille ‘Tiffany, were before Justice McCall in the New York supreme court. The jus- tice in strong language declared that any man with an income of $18,000 a year should pay his bills and that Mr. Tif- fany_ is morally and_ equitably respgnsi- ble for a claim of $5336 made against him. | Nevertheless Justice McCall re- served decision on the merits of the case, Young Tiffany under the provisions of his father’s will received an income of $3500 a year, but pared Soe of the es- tate were empowered™ to increase this amount of they saw fit. Under this au- thority they increased the allowance to $18,000 a year. One reason why so little is heard of swell dressers in New York city these days is that there are too many of them. New York, instead of having a “King of Dudes.” as in the old days, now has a “kingdom” of dudes. There are 50,000 men in New York who dress as well to- fay as EB. Berry Wall, Reginald Ron- alds. Sito Ontivia, Fred Gebhardt, Harry Lehr and a dozen others whose F $s ie eo MMS a eet Re of 200 pairs of trousers give a man any distinction over his fellows. The paying of $15,000 a year for clothes has become too common for that. The annual meeting of the Navy league of the United States was held at its headquarters in New York city. There was a large attendance of dele- gates from all sections of the league in this country, as well as from Paris and London. Amid much enthusiasm the principle of the league, the upbuilding of the navy and the maintaining of its efticlency, was affirmed. Several reso- lutions were passed looking toward the furtherance of the purpose of .the or- ganization. The following directors for the term ending in 1908 were elected. Francis B. Allen, Connecticut; William McAdoo, Herbert L. Satteriee, New York; C. B. Parsons, New Jersey: Horace Porter, New York. Mrs. Henry S. Hoyt, member of one of New York's oldest Knickerbocker families and the oldest cottager of New- port, R. L, died at her home in New- port. Had she lived until Christmas she would have been 96 years of age. Her husband died eighteen years agu and he left her a large estate and in their joint rights they were worth sev- eral millions. Among her nephews and nieces are Mrs. J. King Van Renssalaer, Miss Virginia Hoyt. Miss Redmond and her brother, (Goulé edmond; Miss Sarah Duer and Miss Amy Duer, sisters of the late William A, Duer, father of Clarence A. Mackay; Gerald Hoyt, Hen- ry Hoyt and Winfield Scott Hoyt. Her maiden name was Miss Frances M. Duer. Albert V. Deane Reid, who is endeay- oring to secure the release of his bride from the Bloomingdale asylum, to which she was taken the evening following her marriage by her brothers, was arrested at the close of the habeas corpus pro- ceedings hearing at White Plains on a bench warrant signed by Recorder Goff, Reid having been indicted by the New York county grand jury upon a charge of bigamy. Keid denounced his arrest as an outrage and denied his guilt. He said the arrest w2s not unexpected, as his brothers-in-law had hinted at something of the kind. Reid said his first wite died before he left England some years ago, and denied that he married any woman in Canada, as had been inti- mated. “Father, I have married Ireue.” This dispatch was received by Mr. and Mrs. ‘Charlies Francis Rabell, New York city, from their son, Dr. Charles Francis Ra- bell, superintendent of the New York Colleze of Dentistry. The wedding of ‘Dr. Rabell and Miss Irene D. Whiting of Chicago had been arranged to take place in that city in January. News of their marriage was 2 surprise to both samities. Miss Whiting, now Mrs. Ra- ‘bell, is a daughter of Frederick George Whiting, northwestern superintendent of the Cunard steamship line in Chicago. ‘Miss Whiting was visiting her friend, ‘Mrs. Charles Streiff, in Brooklyn, when Dr. Rabell met her. In September last they became engaged. The old Fleischmann building at: Broadway and Tenth street, which was sold to the Grace church corporation the other day, has long been the abode of artists and is today one of the few studio buildings left from a former era. Horatio Walker, Jr., once had a studio there, as did Daniel Durand and_ the elder Reinhart. Hapless Gus Dirks drew most of his bug pictures in Studio 38, and it is said that William M. Chase ‘was once on the rent rolls. But for il- lustrious names one must go to the old Tenth street studio building near Sixth avenue. The artistic history of the Fleischmann building is the history of the little known illustrator, the producer of “buckeyes” and pot-boilers for deal- ers, the artists who draw fashion plates, advertising illustrations and even deco- rate dinner cards. That familiarity breeds contempt even for sums of spacious denomina- tions was amusingly illustrated on a re- cent oceasion by John W. Gates soon after that much caricatured gentleman came like a Lochinvar out of the west. ‘A certain mining property in which the’ jubilant western tnancier had an oar was at that time being aired in court’ and Mr. Gates had been called to the stand as a witness. “How much money did you and your associates really put into this venture?’ queried a lawyer for the _ plaintiff. “Somewhere between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000," replied the witness to the gasping court, jurors and auditors. “But surely you can re- member nearer the exact amount?” “No,” yawned Mr. Gates wearily; “any sum that I might name would probably be several million dollars out of the way.” Grover Cleveland, who was to have spoken at the Princeton alumni dinner in East Orange, N. J., was unable to attend and sent the following letter, which was read by the toastmaster, R. B. Annin: There never has been a time in our na- tional life when publie duty and public sery- ice as well as the obligations of judiciary position called more loudly for the direct nterposition of the steadying and conserva- tive strength of university and college training, and the alumni of Princeton, es- pecially, cannot disregard their imperious duty in this direction without neglectins the lessons taught by college life. In this emergency those who, have been favored with the teaching and influence of Princeton should be neither blind nor deat ie to her teachings, they should be alert in dqmonstrating that loyalty to her means loyalty to national honor and safety and obedient to her traditions and eare for righteousness, they should do battle under the banner bearing the device, “Thou shalt eet steal.” After following a woman ecross tie continent in a yain attempt io persuade her to marry him, only to see her board a steamer for Europe, Walter Herlieh, an elderly man, supposed to be from Lindsay, Cal., committed suicide in a hotel in Hoboken, N. J. Whea Mrs. A. Tilloch, a comely young German widow, arrived in Hoboken from Bremen on October 19, she told the people of the hotel where she stopped that she was on Teeth Save His Life. A bullet from a rifle struck Patrick Noone of Mohawk. Pa., a miner, as he sat before a restaurant on West Market street the other day, but because his teeth were strong his life was ‘saved. The bullet struck Noone squarely in the month and flattened itself against his teeth. Two were knocked out. but the force of the bullet was checked. and this will no doubt save the man’s life. It is alleged that another man did the shooting from his home nearby. A TRICK OF THE COLLEGE GIRL. Shoe Clerk Explains How She Gets Money for Matinees. “What's a fellow going to do about it. anyway?” exclaimed a Boston shoe clerk the other day. “It beats me. Here comes in Miss College Maid, and she is as fascinating as:she.¢an be. She picks. out a $5 pair of shoes as ‘perfectly love- ly,’ and ‘won’t we charge them up to a? which we certainly will do, because fe’ has notified us that his credit is . K.’ and is at his daughter's disposal. “But next day in comes Miss College. Maid with her shoes in a box under her arm. She would ‘really like to look at those $3.50 shoes,’ and she finally buys them. ‘And won't we give her the. charge check,’ she says with a smile that will tilt most men from tneir balance. “Of course, if a man made such a proposition we'd call the police, but. we're apt to bow to the Miss College Maid with the smile, and hand over the $1.50 to her, as if she had asked for only a A ee of extra shoe strings. Then while Miss College Maid trots off to the matinee to spend our $1.50 we puzzle our heads as to whether we have been buneoed or whether we have buncoed ‘dad,’ although, to be sure, we charge it’ to his account. “And if a fellow once falls a_ victim to the wiles of Miss College Maid he soon learns that she needs a new pair of shoes about every time a matinee ido) comes along.”—Shoe Retailer. Get at the Cause. Sacramento, Ky., Nov. 13.—(Special.) —A typical illustration of the way Dodd's Kidney Pills Cure Rheumatism is well told by Catherine Devine, who is very well known here. She says: “For over four years I was greatly troubled with Rheumatism. It used to take me worst in my legs and feet. At times I would be. so bad I could not put my feet to the ground. As I am Over seventy-three years of age I be- gan to think I was too old to get cured and should have to bear my Rheuma- tism the best way I could. But I heard about Dodd’s Kidney Pills and thought I would give them a trial. So I gota box and began taking them. Well, I must say Dodd's Kidney Pills did me a wonderful lot of good. They eased the pain from the first, and to-day I am in better health than I have been for many years.” —_.__——_ YEAR OF THE GLITTERING FAN. The Modish Variety Is Rather Small and Covered with Spangles. The medium sized fan, measuring; eight or nine inches, will be the popular one this year, dealers say. Larger fans, those decorated with real luce and os- trich feathers, will also be fashionable, and as for the smallest fans of all, those perhaps five inches long, this season will see their glorification. These smallest of| fans are called theater fans, bag fans, glove fans, etc. _ It is the exceptional fan that is not partery or entirely covered with aa gles. In the hands of coquetry not ee could be more effective than the spangled| fan. The queer thing about it, though, is! that it may be as dignified as it is mis-; chievous. It takes color from the one| who carries it. The smallest fans, as well as the me-| dium sized ones used for dances and| dinners, are ee all made on the same order, though of course the former do not admit of the elaboration of de-| sign found on the larger size. ' The gauze foundation prevails and is| treated with adornment in spangies, hand nee or applied lace or silk in) charming designs, Spangles come in different shapes. The, round or sharply pointed oval shapes are: the most popular, the latter being largely; used for tlower petals in spangle design. A great bachelor button flower dene in! silver spangles of the oval shape in a| white fan is very attractive. On a black’ fan is seen an irridescent bird perched on_a gold branch that bears silver fruit. Green fans are new and well liked, as. are also those in the modish raspberry hue. The latter sndapen in a design of gold are ey, effective. Hand inted flowers, like roses and| poppies, sprinkled with a little spangle- oe make a delightfully airy, dainty: nish. Applications of white lace on black: grounds or black lace on white grounds, are much sought after. Fans of white gauze on one side and of black on the. other give a cloudy background which spansics or lace show effectively.—New' ‘ork Sun. Proverbs of New York Streets. A new Broome street's clean.

From a beautiful farm down in Tex- as, where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. “When my baby boy came to me five years ago, I began to drink Postum Food Coffee, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it, for it en- abled me, a small delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing healthy baby 14 months old. “I have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffer- ing to myself. “My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off the old kind of coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. “In fact the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old who always calls for his ‘potie’ first thing in the morning) up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or s0 wholesome as Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

When a girl leaves me who is honest, who does not steal or drink. and who evidently has done her work as well as she could, what right have I to report unfavorably upon her when asked for a reference by the W NH A? The girl may not suit my ideas in doing her work, yet she may just fit ito another household that is governed hy different ideas. Many a mistress Jikes in a girl what I abhor, and vice versa. “That's the great trouble with we servant girls,” said one of them to me “I suit one family and all goes well until for some reason they have to move, then I seek another place and nuiy have to try several before I find one that suits both of us.” The fact is, we have got to use wisdom in this matter of references, and it is better to errsou the girl’s side than to report unfairly. Many helpers also complain that the housewife will not tell them when they nake a mistake, nor show them just jow she wants the work done.” To scold bout it is net to give the necessary in- struction. So many mistresses, too, are jess competent housekeepers than their servants. It is largely a question of ex- perience, of tact, of patience, and the better the work-together ideal of the W HN A is practiced by both employer and employed, the better will be results. Good Housekeeping. Wh» Woman Does Not Propose. ‘There is a reason deep in the natures of man and woman why man and not wonan should make the proposal of mar- riage, and the more open advances in love. That reason is that woman is af- fection; that, as between the two, love originates with womap, and man re- sponds to it. Individually, then, he must be left free to respond or not to the love of an individual woman. His response is his proposal. this is why, when a woman makes the advances, she repels the man she loves. She is not only loving, but pressing her love on man, There must be response, mutual give and take, in love; and when woman not only gives, but gives without being invited, she cheapens her gift so that it is despised. lt is a curious defect in reasoning fre- quently turning up in this discussion, that assumes that when woman is grant- ed the right by social eustom (and exer- cises it) of making proposals, she will marry the man of her choiee. 1f this were true, it would be the clearest proof of the error of the method, for it would indicate that woman’s open expression of aifeetion, while it inwardly repelled, snd thus destveyed the possibility of mu- tual love, yet outwardly constrained its object. Providing mam were as free as is woman to reject proposals, the exten- sion of this “privilege” to woman would lave no other results than we now see. Woman now chooses her husband just as nich as man chooses his wife, More; she loves, and he but responds. Never yet was there woman who could not make it clear to a man that she loved lim witheut the chance of placing him in the painful position of having to re- buff her. It is even doubtful whether a woman should purposely exhibit her love even in the most delicate manner, until she is assured of its return. If she loves, and loves deeply and truly, it will have its response unless the desired lover is unfitted for a mate for the par- ticular woman, The question resolves itself to this: Is the love of a woman more attractive to a man when it is openly displayed, and even boldly proffered, than when it is at least partially concealed?

Vhilosophers will tell you never to ex- pect: gratitude, Rut it would be a dreary old world if we neither expected nor gave gratitude for kind actions. : Aud no matter what our lives may be, we all have a great deal to be thankful and grateful for, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, When you perform a kind action is it net pleasant to feel that it is appre- ciated Of course, it is, and so you must not forget to show your gratitude when oth- ers are kind to you. Never hesitate to express your thanks fully and freely; people may say they dou? expect it, but they like it just the same. _ And do not let your gratitude take the form of lip service only.

Although the prejudice against fighting sickness in # hospital is wearing awae there are still to be found a large num- ber of persons, principally women, who prefer home with its meager opportuni- ties when they fall ill, i cast my vote for the hospital for several reasons, the most important of which is the greater chance of recovery, and prompt recovery at that. I used to be as silly as anybody on the subject, till I had occasion to require a surgeon's services and a dose of ether, Against all advice I decided upon home treatment, and a8 & punishment, I pre- sume, was forced to look upon such gruesome tpelguae en as to make me re- gard a rather insignificant surgical operation as my farewell to earth. It seems. that an amount of apparatus is needed even in such safe cases, and T would have been spared a deal of dis- comfort had I gone to the hospital, as I ought to have done, With the best of intentions home treat- ment cannot be rigid and careful as that found in institutions where life is regu- lated like clock work. There are times when we give in to sick persons at home, with serious doubts of the wisdom of such a course. Nurses and doctors have no sentiment to combat and science is the winner. At home it is next to im- possible to keep visitors at bay, because some of them are relatives; at a hospital there is no hesitation in turning away the nearest kin, eyen on visiting day, if the patient’s condition demands it. Ex- pense does not figure much in the choice, for it is appalling in either case when one’s means are limited. _ Prejudice and superstition are hard to conquer, and they are such drawbacks in life. It was only a short time ago that a helpless woman had to be moved from one home to another and an am- bulance was suggested as the proper conveyance. There was a scene that left three persons exhausted, the patient, the nurse and a devoted daughter. The pa- tient had a horror of hospitals and every- thing connected with them, and the am- bulance was the forerunner of the hearse, she declared. The nurse argued, all to no purpose, and both nurse and daughter proposed to ride with her. For the first time the sick woman wavered, and the advantage was followed up by the nurse, who told stories of previous rides she had taken with patients, It was a grewsome ride, but it was the death of one superstition, at least. The patient recovered from her nervous- ness a convert to hospital treatment, which in her case would have been cheaper and very much better. Unques- tionably many lives are lost through in- attention to small injuries and ailments; they would be attended to at a hospital, Think of .the cases of blood poisoning resulting from little accidents and care- lessness after them. How much safer to subscribe to emergency hospitals—a small yearly fee entitling one to imme- diate attention under = such circum- stances! That is what sensible persous do. In many homes there are elaborate medicine closets without the best reme- dies for sudden attacks of illness and accidents. For wounds of all kinds there is nothing better than peroxide of hydrogen, save where the bleeding is profuse. Sometimes a bandage kept wet in witch hazel will prevent further trou- ble there. A hot beverage at bedtime— composition tea or capsicum or lemon- ade—will nip a cold in the bud, but when you are ill have the best treatment you can find. It is cheaper in the end.— Boston Traveler. Philosophy in Love. “Oh, yes, it’s all over now,” she said, as they waited to be served. “You do not seem to be weeping much about it,” said her listener, with sur- prise. “What's the use?” asked her tistener, taking a sip of ice water; “such things always end—it’s a way they have—and I have had them before! So I cannot say I was unprepared.” “A man, you know,” she went on -meditatively, “is a creature to be surely ‘counted on—different from a woman, He must go straight ahead or he must stop short: and, of course, some will go far- ‘ther than others, some you may allow as | long a tether as they will take; but wen | they come to the end of it it is good-bye; they cannot be a friend if they are in love; black’s black and white's white with them; and they are not fond of gray.” : The second girl sighed as she thought of her own troubles. “But when an affaire du coeur is over one sighs—sometimes with relief,” said ‘the first girl, who had brown eyes, now soft, now brilliant; “it is a load off the mind, a lift to the heart; and you can sit up again and take notice of other dear fellows you have shamefully neglected, eat and sleep, dream and work, without forever stewing about whether Edwin is or is not mad.” “T cannot say I look at it that way,” said the second girl, with some spirit. “You will, you will in time,” said her | friend right cheerily. “You have it bad just now, I know; but you will recover | and live to have several other attacks.” “Good gracious, you are cynical!” said the second girl rather irritably. “Some day you will get it yourself so bad you won't want to recover, and then what? 1 am preparing already to say I told you so.” | “I may,” said the first girl, her browa eyes rather misty, “but I think not. i | know men toc well. The man I might |eare for in such a life and death way as | you fancy you new do does not exist; he }is a myth of the imagination, a figment of an overactive brain, a creature formed of the moonshine of heart’s desire. 1 know that and so know that I can never | meet such a one; and it is just as well. For it would be highly inconvenient did I find myself now at this late date be- coming vnruly and headstrong. It would be against my principle of never letting anything become inconvenient.

Refinement in the Speaking Voice. The girl who is cultivating a melodious speaking voice must listen to every word she utters. In this way, and in this way alone, can she obliterate any jarring note in her voice. Just as the violinist learns to distinguish the most minute differ- enees in the tones of his instrument, so the ear can be taught to catch the least | inharmonious note in the speaking voice. This power of discernment eannot be ac- quired in a day nor in a week, but by several months of daily practice. Ounce learned, however, instinct aids a girl in shaping her mouth and regulating, her breath so that every word she speaxs is sweet and harmonious. | A very great hindrance to a proper ‘production of the speaking tone is an ‘obstruction in the nasal cavities. A girl's first duty is to see that the nostrils are weil cleansed each morning. Sooth- ing antiseptic tablets can be obtained from any druggist. a good sized bottle selling from 15 to 20 cents. If a wash fails to clear the nose there is a growth er misplaced bone in the way which should be removed before the nasal cavities can give a musical resonance. Melody in speaking tones, however. counts tor very littie if words are not pronounced distinctly. Foreigners crit- icise the American girl severely because of her carelessness in this regard, and she can learn much from the really de- lightful way in which they make every sound clear. No matter how much they may run their sentences together, they take pains to utter each syllable. ._ Lo develop a clear articulation there is no better method than practice of the many rhymes containing words that be- gin with the same letter. An exagger- ated motion of the lips should be pa | into use when repeating them. ne good rhyme for practice: Betty Batter fought a bit of butter. “But,” said Betty. “this butter’s bit- ter. It will make my batter bitter. If I buy a bit of better butter, put it in my hatter. it wili make my batter ea So Betty bought a bit ‘of better butter, put it in her batter, and made her bat- ter better. So ’twxs better Betty Batter bought a bit of better butter. Here is a short poem from Shakes- peare that is also excellent: Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity. Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, Nods and becks and wreathed smiles, Such as hang on Hebe’s cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek; Sport that wrinkled care derides And laughter holding both its sides. | Come and trip it as you go | On the light fantastic toe. | Failure to articulate distinctly is, ay form of laziness not at all in keeping with graceful womanhood. A girl | should respect her language, and make | each consonant and vowel stand out so that every word is clear cut, and her listeners do not have to strain every nerve to make out what she is saying. | This is equally as important as melodi- ous, sweet speaking tones, and in combi- | nation with them renders a woman's | voice her strongest drawing card.—Seat- te Wines. | Grace of Manner Wanted. + We are not prepared, as a rule, to admit that our grandmothers, and their mothers before them, were very wise in their respective generations, but at least we are bound to acknowledge that they certainly much better understood in those days how to produce and cultivate grace of manner and bearing in girls than we do now. W ehave gymnasia, which they had not; we are taught physical culture on the latest scientific principles—of this they understood noth- ing. Our girls live in the open air, walk, bieyele, moter, play all manner of ath- letie games, While their grandmothers and greut-zrandmothers were reared like hothouse plants. We no longer squeeze in our waists or try to keep our feet small, as they did, and yet, withal, the horrible truth must be admitted and faced that we possess none of their grace, that our deportment is faulty, and that the pretty lines of face and figure which all women of gen- tle birth possessed half a century or more ago have not come to us. And, finally, that we are sadly defi- cient in the courtesy which then seemed woman’s natural attribute, but which, as a matter of fact, was taught her from babyhood, like stitenery and the use of the globes. Something must be rotten in the state of Denmark to have brought about the ungracefulness of the modern girl, and as we are always drilling, mas- saging and developing ourselves. it is becoming abundantly clear that our so much despised and’ pitied forbears did know a great deal more than we do about training up a girl in the graceful way she should go, and turning her out a courteous, charming woman. What we really lack nowadays is de- portment. Our girls never learn this at home, at school, or in the dancing class. What girl is now taught how to come into a room, to enter and leave a car- riage with grace, to make a bow proper- ly, to move everywhere with ease and yet sieping her figure to the best advan- tage? Few modern women can walk, dance, or stand, hold up_ their skirts, greet their friends by an inclination of the head or grasp of the hand in a thor- oughly graceful fashion, yet even we See for ourselves what care is taken to drill them and how they have been | physically trained till they have grown alarmingly big. This then is not the way to do it, and if ever we are again to have a race of women, who can carry themselves well, impress other nations by their gentleness and graceful bearing, and restore to England the “cultivated” manner, we shall most certainly have to hark back to the methods of the old- fashioned schoolmistresses and teachers of deportment, keen our girls from oyer- much hockey, and insist that they shall be “ladylike’ above all things. We shall, doubtless, have a hard fight to set back to this state of affairs, The mod- ern girl is very much out of hand at present, and, like Harriett, who fatally played with matches, she “will not take advice,” but one has hopes that there will be a reaction, and in due course we shall revert to the old methods of teach- ing the art of feminine grace. ‘There is no reason why physical cil- ture and all outdoor exercises should not have due regard paid to them, but in combination we mast rigidly enforce euse of movement, quietness of manner, 10- gether with a certain formality, less self consciousness and less speed and general offhandedness.—Ladies’ Pictorial.

Bobby’s Burgiar. “I maintain,” said Bobby's father, “that there is good in every one. Even in a thief there is some good, and it only needs the right treatment to bring it out.” Bobby heard this at the dinner table one evening and it set him thinking. He had always thought of thieves with a shuddering horrer and a furtive glance over his shoulder to make sure that there was really no one behind him. But his father’s words gave him a new sort of courage. If he was sent alone into a dark room he went thinking brave- ly: “Even if one is there,” meaning, of course, a burglar, “I will treat him so as to bring the good out.” One day Bobby's mother and father went out of town, leaving Bobby to the care of Nellie, the cook, Now, Neilie was a good cook, but when it came to taking eare of little boys she failed ut- terly. If Bobby was quietly employed with his engine on the nursery floor, Nellie would swoop down upon him and scold him for “messing up.” But he could climb out to the edge of the roof of the lean-to and Nellie would never no- tice that anything was wrong. And, most of all, she had a policeman, who used to look in at all hours and distract her attention from her duties disgrace- fully. One morning, when Bobby's mother and father had been away several days, Bobby was playing quietly in the nurs- ery, and when Nellie came to “clean him up." as she called it, he submitted pa- tiently to the too generous application of soap and the too frequent tweaks of his small nose. Was it any wonder, then, that Nellie, seeing him so orderly and tractable, thought there could be no harm at all in taking a short walk with Mr. Fla- herty—Mr. Flaherty was her policeman, whom she always alluded to as her “sis- ter-in-law’s cousin.” So Bobby was left alone in the big house. He played for a while, and then, growing tired of the game, he cast about him for more amusement. The pantry struck him as the best place to find it. He ran downstairs and, dragging a chair into it, he reached up to the highest shelf, where, since time immemorial, the best goodies were always kept. Nor was he disappointed. The first thing he felt was a large jar of jam, open and full to the top. No need for Bobby to hunt further. Here was heaven, indeed. After a few ambrosial mouthfuls Bob- by heard a noise behind him and nearly dropped his jam in his fear of Nellie. He turned, and in the pantry doorway stood, not Nellie, but a strange, big man, with a shiny revolver in his hand—un- doubtedly a burglar. Bobby's fear of Nellie was as nothing with the terror that now assailed him. But, somehow, his father’s words sud- denly flashed through his mind. He re- membered his rule and thought swiftly, “How shall I treat him so as to bring the good out?” “Have some jam.” he said, with a trembling, pathetic attempt to smile. TIME, THE GARCON.

When he had devoured it he asked: “Your ma home?” “No,” said Bobby. “There ain't any- body home but me—and you.” He avas certainly getting over his fear in his —e: at having known how to treat his burglar. “Well,” said ‘the burglar. “I guess you know I didn’t come here to chin with a little three-footer like you. I've got to get some boodle here, and I don’t want no noise about it. Now, will you come and show me where. the silver is, or should I tie you down and stop your mouth and find it meself?” Bobby's heart sank. Then he hadn't known how to treat him, after all.

Sink or swim, steal or starve, And my old woman gittin’ worse every ininute, and not even a shed to lay down in,’ The burglar rubbed his sleeve across his eyes and sniffed. Bobby got down from his chair and led the way to the dining room, Point- ing to the last drawer to the sideboard, he said, with eyes full of sympathetic tears: “Our best silver's in there. You might as well take it) We don’t use if often, anyway. And—and here’s my best top to give to your little boy,” he said, tak- ing 2 shiny black top from his pocket. ST Tve got plenty of others.

Imagine their feelings when they found him superin- tending the packing of all the best silver. The burglar sprang to his feet. But Bobby Inid his hand on the burglar’s parm and said: “Don’t be “fraid. You see, father, the burglar came, and i ‘tried to treat him so’s to bring out the jgood in him, buc there didn’t seem to be much in him. But he’s got a little bey my age, and he hasn't had any- thing to eat for a iong time, and so I thought he'd better take the silver.” Bobby's father looked’ sternly at the | burglar. “I s’pose it’s all up with me.” said the burglar grimly. “I'll go up, I reckon, j for a long time this trip.

And suppose afterward we doen't call the copper at all, but try to keep you busy earning money that you won't want to steal, Let's have your hand aud your promise.” The burglar put out his hand, and genuine tears of gratitude stood in his eyes. “Take it from me,” he said, fer- yently. “I'll never steal another penny as long as I live.” Bobby drew a deep breath. “Now I see how to bring out the good,” he said.—Edna P.

POOR SINGER TO WED COUNT. Miss Franceska Bisceglia, Former Keno- sha Girl. Will Be Countess. Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Franceska Bisceglia, a former Kenosha (Wis.) girl, and Count Eduardo Viancinia, member of one of the oldest Italian families and an officer in the Italian army. This is only one of the incidents of the very remiarkable ca- reer of Miss Bisceglia, who seven years ago was an unknown little girl in Ke- nosha, byt who has since won a diploma from the Verdi Conservatory at Milan and who promises to be a great prima donna. Seven years ago Franceska Bisceglia was a pretty little Italian girl in Keno- sha. Her father was a_ poor tailor who had come to America from Italy when his daughter was 4 years of age. Miss Bisceglia failed to attract more than passing attention in Kenosha. She was about her father’s shop and. was regard- ed as a type of beauty from southern Italy, but no one in Kenosha ever heard her sing. Her father was of an artistic temperament and he carefully trained the little giri as a vocalist. In 1898 the Bisceglia family sold their property in Kenosha and removed to Chicago, and shortly afterward when the daughter was singing at a litde Ital- ian charity entertainment her voice at- tracted the attention of Gastone Gott- pe a paiene oe gee hey ee pened to one e ehurch. ie asked to be presented to the girl. Ln an- ether week she had entered the Gott- sehalk studio as his favorite pupil. After three years with the Chicago teacher her father was prevailed upon to send the young girl to Italy to complete her musi- cal education. In erder to do this the father mort- gaged his little home and Franceska went to Milan. Out of the sixty-eight candidates for entrance to the Conserva- tery, she was one of the four who passed the difficult examination and the first girl from America to receive this honor. For four years she worked like a Tro- jan and laie in the summer she made her debut at the Teatro Sociale at Sa- cile, Italy. For five consecutive mights she sang the title role of “La Traviata and not only her wonderful voice but her great dramatic powers attracted the audience. At the end of the fifth night of her en- gagement she demanded a night's rest and when this was refused she canceled her contract. The audiences refused to accept a substitute, and the manager was forced to close the theater. During her stay at the Conservatory she met Count Viancini and it was a case of love at first sight. The engage- ment was announced a short time ago and the consent of the parents for the marriage was obtained, but Miss Bis- ceglia has declined to wed until after he has earned sufficient money to pay her father what he advanced for her musical education. Immersed at 102 Years. At the age of 102 Capt. Thomas Sauls has joined the chureh at Webb City, Mo.. and as a preliminary to his admis- sion to the Baptist faith he was im- mersed in the waters of Center creek. It was a cold day and the onlookers said the ceremony seemed unnecessary long, yet the old man went through it bravely and has been none the worse for it se semegit since. The captain was torn in North Carolina four years after Washington's death. PAPERS BY THE PEOPLE HOW TO BE HAPPY WITH YOUR HUSBAND. I have collected a large number of marriages which have fallen univocation, and I have divided them into contracted between really young people contracted by mature persons. In the category I have found a much larger good homes than in the first. Disman and wife proceeds from three senses, the heart, the intelligence, of all unhappiness is produced when all the cord are united. The greatest of happiness is alliance of the three causes and harmony better. You have always thought that marriage is two existences, of two bodies, of two souls, up to the other, which shall produce the complete of a man and a woman. Suppose that they are represented by the number 100, and that, in case it the co-operation of both be necessary. If mence by fixing your share at 60 or 80, then be 40 or 20 left for your husband, and the suit be attained. If you can give 90 you will obtain all the more easily, in that there is only 10 to furnish. I know one of the happiest of homes in we supplies 99 and the husband only 1. The general never found her husband too parsimonious. Two ways complete and the happiness perfect.

In doing this all that your husband you will come as an unexpected gift, a dear of all unhappiness is produced when all the causes of discord are united. The greatest of happiness if there is an alliance of the three causes and harmony between them. You have always thought that marriage is the sum of two existences, of two bodies, of two souls, united the one to the other, which shall produce the complete happiness of a man and a woman. Suppose that the happiness be represented by the number 100, and that, in order to make it the co-operation of both be necessary. If you will commence by fixing your share at 60 or 80, there will only be 40 or 20 left for your husband, and the sum will always be attained. If you can give 90 you will obtain the result all the more easily, in that there is only 10 left for him to furnish. I know one of the happiest of homes in which the wife supplies 99 and the husband only 1. The generous wife has never found her husband too parsimonious. The sum is always complete and the happiness perfect. In this addition commence by placing as your contribution all that you can of love, of goodness, of indulgence, of tenderness, of delicate foresight, of dear divination, and then the sum total will attain a large amount. Woe to you if you remind your husband that you do not wish to bring more than 50, neither more nor less. Expect little of your husband and you will have run more than half the course that leads to marital bliss.

There is one convincing proof that men can get what they want when the necessity arises, and that is that practically every man who gets married at once gets a better salary. His salary is not increased because he has taken a wife, but because he finds it necessary to have an increase in salary, demands it, and either gets it of that employer or of some other.

If you have the chances are 100 to 1 that you raised the money and without much trouble. You had Depopulation of English Villages Prevented by This Means. With a view to placing a check upon the depopulation of Kentish villages, which is reaching alarming proportions, several large land owners have decided upon a system of profit sharing with their agricultural laborers, hoping by this means to stimulate "Hodge" to take a greater interest in his employment. The system of sharing farm profits was initiated by E. W. Hussey, a large estate owner, of Scotney Castle. Every year the hands are called together and each receives a share of the profits made on the year's working of the farms. On the last occasion of the profit-sharing each man received $13.13, while a youth's share amounted to $8.75. In cases where several members of a family are engaged on a farm sums approaching $48.66 have been taken home. The system has had such successful results that Mr. Hussey has received numerous inquiries asking for details as to the working of the scheme, with the consequence that other farmers in the county have expressed their intention of working on similar lines. A wise man iets his wife have her own way—otherwise she would have it, anyway. THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE.

Thanksgiving day was quietly celebrated by our people in Milwaukee While the great majority enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner in the family home a very considerable number took advantage of the dinner served by the ladie connected with the church fair. A general invitation had been issued by Dr Butler, and if any one went hungry it was his own fault. The ladies of Calvary Baptist church also served a dinner at Kinner's restaurant, 210 Fifth street, which a large number took advantage of. Post-Graduate Normal Course. The post-graduate normal course of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute will be extended to two years beginning with the opening of the next school term. September 12, 1905, and will comprise a much broader scope of work than heretofore. Work will be offered for three classes of post-graduate students in this department; first, students whose interests are purely industrial second, students whose interests are primarily in the academic work, and third post-graduate normal students who wish to combine the industrial and academic work. Students of the second class will be required to devote five days of each week to normal work, and one day to industrial employment. The various courses will be taught by specialists thoroughly competent, and Tuskegee institute with its complete material equipment in every department thus affords superior advantages for young men and women wishing to prepare themselves for literary and industrial teachers desiring to take advanced work.

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail road has begun the enforcement of its order against the drink habit in a way, which has startled its employees. I had been supposed that the order, like several previous ones, was intended to check the men only, but on a recent Saturday night discharges were made right and left. Several old men at this point were let out. No excuses or promises for the future were accepted. An official said that nothing short of summary removal will be considered in cases of train crew men who take a drink while on duty. The enforcement of the order is to apply to all classes of employees, how ever, and after satisfactory evidence is obtained that a man is addicted to drink he will be discharged and no probationary term will be allowed.

I recommend it to all my friends.—The above letter was written by Mrs. Ennis Colbert, Vanderbilt, Pa., June 22, 1904. Ozonized Ox Marrow will straighten your hair, too, no matter how kinky it is.

Bass, as a rule, are rather particular about the kind of food they take, and even the most painstaking angler fails usually unless he offers them choice live bait. Down about Chadd's ford, Delaware county, however, they are not so particular, and, if the fishermen have been telling the truth, they have developed a great fondness for sweet corn, which is used as bait for carp. A few grains are strung on a hook and as a carp lure it has always proved effective. But this year the fisherman is just as liable to get a bass as a carp. Working for Social Prominence A representative of the Shuberts has made public a letter from William H. Conners in which Conners states he will offer James Hazen Hyde $1000 per week to act as Sarah Bernhardt's American press agent during her coming tour. If necessary he will increase the figure to $4000. The object is to give social prominence to the engagement.

A man properly ambitious, industrious, and willing can make just as much money as his needs require, and seidom can he make any more.

In Greater New York the police have received complaints of wire-tapper losses amounting to more than $250,000 in the last year. Hardly a day passes but a new victim of the oily-tongued tapless wire tappers brings to police headquarters the same old story of being put up against the fake wire game Years ago there were legitimate wire tappers. Former telegraphers with an eye to making money saw how easy it was to juggle and delay for several minutes the results on horse races. A band of real wire tappers worked the game from San Francisco to New York. In Hot Springs and Chicago their winnings were estimated at $200,000. In 1888 the celebrated pool king of Buffalo, Prince Howard, was tapped for $35,000 in four days.

Admirers of Dumas pere—whose name is still legion—should read M. Arrede Barine's "Geolier dans le XVIIIe Siecle," in the Revue de Paris. It gives one quite a different idea of St. Mars, governor of the Bastile and other prisons, from what we should have gathered from the relations with him of Aramis and the rest. Benigne d'Auvergne—St. Mars, like that of Athos and the rest, being only a nom de guerre—was obsequious even to cruelty to the commands of Louvois or other minister for the time being, and was in consequence looked upon by his master as a model jailer, who would stick at nothing. His principal characteristics were --- --- I I PROFIT-SHARING ON FARMS. All the employes of Mr. Hussey's Lamberhurst estate now take such a keen interest in their work that they exhibit no inclination whatever to migrate to the towns. Lamberhurst, though a very small place, has long been looked upon as a model village, everything being done to encourage the inhabitants to remain within its boundaries. The wealthy residents in the neighborhood have established a number of up-to-date recreative institutions and the village is unaffected by the problem of the unemployed. Curious Flowers. The Chinese, Japanese and Siamese are peculiarly skillful at botanical feats. One of their wonderful achievements is known as the "changeable rose." This bloom is white in the shade and red in the sunlight. At night or in a dark room this curiosity of the rose family is a pure, waxy white blossom. When transferred to the open air the transformation immediately commences—the time of the entire change of the flower from white to red depending on the degree of sunlight and warmth. First the petals take on a kind of washed or faded blue color, and rapidly change to a faint blush of pink. The pink gradually deepens in hue until the lily-white rose of an hour before is as red as the reddest peony that ever bloomed. to have it and you got it. You were forced by circumstances to do things that, under ordinary easy going circumstances you would not have done. You have collected from some one who had owed you for years, perhaps. Would you have done it if the necessity had not arisen? It is the same way with getting an increase in income. The emergency arises and you arise to meet it. EVIDENCES OF THE EDUCATED MAN. Education is an awakening. A child is born in a soul-house that has many windows, and each window has the curtain down. One window is named Reason, one Memory, another Imagination. Along comes the parent or the teacher and lifts the curtain from the window of Reason and the whole realm of truth and beauty comes rushing in. The ideal man is has all the windows open toward land and sea. Some have the window of Common Sense open crack and some have lifted the curtain from the of Judgment only a little. Is the true brother of death and ignorance is half and half death. An educated soul is a fully awakened vitalized soul. The old notion was that a boy dated when his memory pocket was stuffed full of old Greek roots. The new notion is that the soul awakened to all the truth and beauty of nature life. Culture, therefore, is not simply a knowledge best that has ever been done, thought or said, to new Arnold's definition; it is that knowledge plus power to perfectly use and enjoy all that is good world of knowledge, beauty and duty. one who has all the windows open toward land and sea and sky. Some have the window of Common Sense open about a crack and some have lifted the curtain from the window of Judgment only a little. Sleep is the true brother of death and ignorance is half sleep and half death. An educated soul is a fully awakened and vitalized soul. The old notion was that a boy was educated when his memory pocket was stuffed full of Latin and Greek roots. The new notion is that the soul must be awakened to all the truth and beauty of nature and of life. Culture, therefore, is not simply a knowledge of all the best that has ever been done, thought or said, to use Matthew Arnold's definition; it is that knowledge plus the full power to perfectly use and enjoy all that is good in the world of knowledge, beauty and duty. HOW TO WIN SUCCESS. Work just as hard as you know how; never let up after you have made up your mind to achieve anything, but stick to it, through good fortune and bad, with a purpose that knows no swerving, and if you are the right kind of a young man to-day you have success before you. A man must never become discouraged, no matter what he comes to face, and he must not sit down and bewail the lack of early advantage. matter what he comes to face, and he must not sit down and bewail the lack of early advantages. Poverty is no handicap in the beginning. Rather it is a help, for too many advantages for the young man are apt to kill his ambition, and without ambition success is impossible. Anyone, if he will work hard and faithfully and be honest in all his life, will find that success is possible, for the poor boy's chances to-day are just as good as they ever were.

THE PO THE CREATOR'S CARE. By Rev. Henry F. Cope. "Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture."—Ps. c., 3. The world may think that it is growing weary, and it may boast of its deadening cynicism, but it still remains that there is an ever increasing multitude of people who sing, frequently, this old, old song and who somehow feel that these words ring clear from the heart of truth. The thought of the providence of God may make little appeal to one when the sky is clear and the hand is firm on the tiller, but only he who reads the secrets of all lives knows how this hope has given new heart to those who have been tossed helpless on the dark waters of trouble. But how may we know this doctrine of Providence has any root other than our desire for divine assistance? Was not Jesus mistaken when he talked of one who cared for the very sparrows? Were not these old-time singers deluded? Must we not each fight our own battles all alone, carve out our own fortunes? In outgrowing the ancient conception of God as an all glorious, all perfect man, have we not also outgrown the ancient Hebrew faith in him of whom they sang, "Like as a father pitleth his children, so the Lord pitleth them that fear him?" It is a good thing to lose faith in the Creator's care if we have been resting in it as an escape from duty, from the exercise of our own energies. When a man allows himself to be pauperized by his faith in Providence an experience of poverty may teach him a good lesson. Divine love has not been revealed to encourage human laziness. There is no difference between trusting to luck and trusting to Providence with your hands folded and eyes shut. There are too many people willing to glorify God by waiting for wages they have never earned and harvests they have never sown or cultivated. Men cannot too soon lose that kind of faith or learn to call it folly. We are more than the sheep of his pasture; we are his people; therefore Providence means more than gifts of plenty and paths of peace. It means often weary ways, toil, fighting, sorrow, pain, dark nights with no stars. It means ways we cannot understand. Our plans have been for ease and prosperity; it seems, perhaps, we have earned them. Then comes hardship and adversity. We looked for delights and there came but disappointments. And all these things but mean to us that Providence means more than our protection; it means our education, our perfection. The best thing that you can do for a sheep may be to put it into the richest pastures; there may be some people for whom the all wise can do nothing better. But for a man, for his people, the best thing you can do is to throw him out into the barren fields, where he must dig and toil, to tear down his arbors of ease and his walls of safety that he may learn to build better. The saddest, dreariest life of all would be the one for which so many of us are ever praying, the one unmixed with sorrow or disappointments. The divine purposes are the best promises of Providence. The infinitely wise and good will not be content with anything short of perfection. If we are his creation we can be sure of his care, the care that educates, disciplines, and perfects. All nature certifies to this assurance; it is all a record of the mighty power that works out perfection, that develops ever higher forms of life. And the great, wide open book of the field and the hillside has the same revelation for him who will read as that recorded long ago by the singer of Israel. But in the process of the perfecting the ways of Providence seem strange indeed. Perhaps a man can no more understand the infinitely higher and more intricate purposes that are being wrought out in his life than the plant can comprehend the theories of the botanist. Here in the struggle, often bruised and bitter at heart, a man needs faith to know that out of it all comes the good and the glory unsearchable and immeasurable, that though right may seem to be worsted, though night settle down everywhere, though hearts be near to breaking, and eyes know no rest from tears, yet the infinite goodness is over all; the will of love will yet be done and the work of love accomplished, that all things are working together for good, the greater good well worth the waiting for. Thus faith defends the heart from despair; this hope nerves for nobler endeavors. Nothing causes all things to work together for good better than the confidence that the worst that can be is yet a way to the best that is to be. MODERN IDOLATRY. By Rev. Thomas F. Dornblaser. Idolatry has been a great sin of ages. It is the crying sin of this age. Our idols are set up on pedestals and worshiped publicly with song and instruments of music. They are, however, enshrined in the hearts of numerous devotees and exercise a controlling influence upon their lives. The tens of thousands of fallen women in our great cities is proof positive that the worship of Venus, the goddess of illicit love, is still luring thousands to her debasing shrine. The myriads of drunkards and thirsty souls that crowd the temple of Bacchus seven days and seven nights in the week is proof that the god of wine is still strikingly in evidence. Mammon, the god of gold, numbers his worshipers by the millions. How timely the old command, "I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt have no other gods before me." CHRIST'S KINGDOM By Rev. W. F. Whitlock. Text: "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."—Revelation xl., 15. The purpose of Christ's coming into the world is fully set forth in the scriptures. He did not come simply to awaken a new religious sentiment, or to lift what spiritual life there was in the world to a higher plane, or to make a declaration to his disciples of doctrines they had not hitherto known—and could not otherwise have known—but he also came to establish a kingdom. This kingdom had been the subject of prophecy long before his coming. David, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Zechariah repeatedly give forecasts of the reign that he should establish in the earth. John the Baptist heralded its approach, and Christ himself made mention of it from the beginning to the end of his ministry. Have not the great inventions and the changes they have wrought in the life and knowledge of the people been sources of enlightenment and elevation to all? Has not the growth of knowledge brought moral illumination, conviction and purpose, and, as a result, a better adjustment of resources to great and noble ends? Has not the church harnessed these inventions and the changes they have wrought to its enterprises, and made them moral media in spiritual achievement. Are there not now among the people a healthier tone and tendency as to the advocacy and maintenance of the principles of morality and righteousness? Does not public sentiment increasingly approve the good and condemn the wrong? Are not good men more fully revered and trusted than in former generations, and are not bad men placed more and more under the ban of public discredit and censure? The sovereignty of the people is today the central thought a world politics. Monarchy is on the wane, but democracy is waxing more and more. Aristocratic organizations of society are going down before the one founded on equality of rights and opportunities. The leaven of democracy is modifying every government, shaking every throne and making royal robes and crowns appear as tinsel and as dust. And what country has done so much as these United States to demolish old idols, dissolve despotic empires and hold aloft in the stainless blue the vision of national righteousness? It is because we have been sending across the seas the holy incense of civil and religious liberty that there is commotion, overturning and cataclysms here and there. And this commotion will continue until the potential grandeur and inherent divinity of every soul is recognized and given freedom to do and to be what heaven decreed. This is to be the outcome, and it explains the conflict now on hand. And it will not stop until a loftier race than e'en the world hath known or fully conceived shall rise "without disease of flesh or brain—shapely and fair—the married harmony of form and function." And so there looms before us the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Let us help to make the vision real. SHORT METER SERMONS. An empty head cannot be hallowed. Love runs over, but it never slops over. All our debts to God are payable to men. The race for gold does not make the golden race. You cannot glorify God by despising his world. In moral matters one and one may make a million. Many prayers are long only because they are so thin. Only a crooked heart will justify its acts by twisted texts. People who beat about the bush get none of the berries. The man whose life lads nowhere is never late in getting there. It takes more than a drop of sorrow to sweeten a sea of sin. Many a pessimist as to humanity finds his pessimism in his own heart. The only way to lighten your labor is to find something to love in it. When a man brags of a good deed it is because he knows so few of them. It takes more than a brotherly manner to make up for the lack of business method in religion. Many a man's denominational convictions are in inverse ratio to the denomination of the coin he drops in the collection.

Shadows very often form the chief interest in a picture, and many a salon print could make no claim for attention but for the beautiful interplay of masses of light and shade which it portrays. Following along the lines of this popular fallacy, just mentioned above, many beginners carefully plan to make their views with the sun directly behind them, and it could not be in a worse place. This matter of direction of the light should be given careful atten- tion, and it may be said in general that the most pleasing landscapes are made with the sun at the right or left. This fact may be made evident to the worker if the landscape to be photographed includes a tree in the fore- ground, by taking a point of view with the sun full on the tree. There is little beauty in it under such circumstances, but, taking a position at right angles to the first point of view, so that the sun is directly at the right or left, will change the whole aspect of things. One side of the tree is beauti- fully lighted while the other fs in shadow, and every little branch is outlined with a charm of distinctness and of light and shade. A slight change in one direction or the other will increase or decrease the light or shadow as is thought best for the truest rendering of the scene. This illustration is es- pecially applicable to trees bare of leaves in autumn. We have said that the point of view should be chosen with reference to the direction of the light, but there are cases when the proper grouping of objects demands one point of view, and that only. Under such circumstances the view should be studied to find out at what time of the day it will be best lighted, and nearly always a satisfactory lighting may be secured if the exposure is made at the right hour.—Phil. M. Riley, in Photo Era. WIND AND LYRE. Thou art the wind and I the lyre: Strike, O Wind, on the sleeping strings— Strike till the dead heart stirs and sings! I am the altar and thou the fire: Burn, O Fire, to a whitened flame— Burn me clean of the mortal blame! I am the night and thou the dream: Touch me softly and thrill me deep, When all is white on the hills of sleep. Thou art the moon and I the stream: Shine to the trembling heart of me, Light my soul to the mother-sea. —Success Magazine. 1A ROMANGE OF TRAVEL. PPP PLD IIIS T might not have happened if ] Chelmsford hadn't noticed her vain- ly trying to overcome the obstinacy of the car window. And it might not have happened then, had she not shot that appealing glance in Chelmsford’s direction. To that glance from those eyes, Chelmsford—hitherto invincible —capitulated. He dropped his grip and tackled the window. Under the spell of those eyes and that smile he was conscious of a Samson-like strength; if necessary he could have torn the window from its casing. After he had conquered the window there was nothing to do but resume the grip, acknowldege the thanks, and continue his search for a vacant seat. It was really too bad that the other half of her seat was oc- cupied by her mother. When he had at last settled down, he tried to turn his thoughts to the Naa i le A. Ne j aa | Le ei Wes : eR SHE HERSELF ANSWERED HIS RING. breeze-kissed lakes, denizened by vo- racious and inquisitive bass, which he had reluctantly left behind; to the city of turmoll and smoke to which he was reluctantly returning; but they deter- minedly refused to turn from—those eyes. At each stop of the crowded excur- sion train he watched to see if she left the coach. When she and her mother arose, as the train pulled into his own station, he hurried forward, elated, only to behold a handsome young fel- jow meet them and bear them triumph- jantly away, paying especial attention to her. Thirty minutes later Chelmsford slammed a grip upon his dressing ta- ble and scowled fiercely at his refiec- tion in the mirror. “Just my luck,” he growled. “Missed the one opportunity of my life.” He slipped the catches of the grip and jerked it open savagely. Strange ‘and surprising articles flew forth, arti- cles quite foreign to the apartments of a bachelor. Marvelous and dainty gar- ments, decorated with delicate lace jand bows of ribbons, rose up from the yawning receptacle to confound him. JA bunch of tiny hairpins tinkled on the itable. A downy powder-puff rolled ‘forth, its faint incense rising to aston- ‘ished nostrils. “Shade of St. Anthony, protect me!” Chelmsford gasped. “It’s her grip!” A little package of letters nestled at “MISS GRACE OLCOTT, “2714 N. Walnut St., “City.” Only five blocks away! One never knows how near he may be to Para- dise. | Gingerly, reverently, he tucked the escaped articles into the grip, snapped it shut and rushed out. At a neat little cottage in a shady street she herself answered his ring. She uttered a little cry of mingled joy and dismay, and held out her hands— for the grip. “Did you—open it?” she stammered. “Naturally. They are precisely alike and— | “Horrible!” she interrupted, and fled with her grip. | Soon her mother appeared, handed Chelmsford his property, with a few cool words of thanks, and laid her hand on the knob cf the door. Hyi- dently she considered the affair as a closed incident. So Chelmsford lifted his hat politely and returned to his rooms humbly. An oblong of pasteboard on the floor caught his eye. He snatched it up, turned it over, saw a face, and—kissed it. Then, seeking solace, he searched his grip for something which should have been there, but which wasn’t. Meditating for a moment, he smiled hopefully. Next day arrived a little missive, “Pardon me if I say that a gentle- man would not have kept my photo- graph. Kindly return it at once—by mail. (Miss) Grace Olcott.” Promptly Chelmsford retaliated: “Pardon me for wondering what use a lady can have for my pipe. I shall call for it—in person. Respectfully. “John Chelmsford.” As he approached the cottage next morning she emerged, hatted and glov- ed, bearing a stenographer’s note book. She blazed at him for a moment with those eyes, then melted and laughed merrily. “What a muddle! That pipe must have fallen out when we opened your grip. We thought Brother Will had left it when he brought us from the station. I’ll run in and get it.” The pipe restored, Chelmsford ob- served brazenly: “Come on. We'll miss our car. You're going down town, aren’t you?” She was, of course, and to Chelms- ford, and—yes, to her—that car seem- ed to travel exasperatingly fast as they chatted together. As he handed her from the car she said, suddenly: “My photograph. You must return that—you know.” “Is it really necessary that I return it?” “Why, certainly.” “By mail?” he asked, smiling. She looked down and shifted thé note book nervously. “I think I shall bring it—this even ing.” She looked up at him quickly, ther down again. “Quick! The car's going, May I?” She glanced up archly, smiling be witchingly: “If you think that safer than thé mail,” she called back as she turne away.—Valley Weekly. Seaweed Sauces.

Ex-Secretary Vanderlip Urges Cor- porations to Make Provision. Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury, ad- vocated in a recent address the estab-| lishment by large corporations of pen- sion funds for old employes. In dis- eussing the matter Mr. Vanderlip re- ferred to the great changes which have been going on in industrial life during’ the past 25 years. “There have been tendencies,” he said, “toward speciali- zation and concentration. There has been a wonderful application of me- chanical aids. We have been work- Ing toward production on a vast scale. This has created an industrial army, the rank and file of which tend more and more toward becoming automatic wheels in the great industrial organi- zation, The new industrial order has made a new social order. There is to- day no such things as industrial inde- pendence possible for a workingman. He must work with others. He must become subject to regulations in con- nection with his fellows. “So long as the individual can act- ively fill his place in this new order of affairs this condition shows great im- provement in many respects. The mo- ment he gets out of harmony with the whirl of the indusérial machine, how- ever; the moment that sickness over- takes him and accident injures him or old age reduces his power to keep in step with the industrial march, his condition is likely to become incompar- ably more unfortunate than would have been the case under similar cir- cumstances in earlier times. “With the exception of the United States, all the great powers of the ciy- ie Fo / OAS Pete ge ONG aiaicarenpeme erotic smn ane ilized world pension their civil ser- vants. The full working out of the merit system in civil service can never be accomplished, I believe, until we recognize the principal of a civil pen- sion for superannuated government employes. There is no other impor- tant nation which has not recognized that principle. “In an inquiry reaching nearly 2,000 corporations replies show that 70 have adopted some plan for retiring and providing for employes during old age. Without a single exception these cor- porations which have adopted such a plan expressed the opinion, after hay ing had an opportunity to note its ef- fects, that it was a wise business prac- tice. As a rule those American cor- porations which have adopted the old age pensions system have treated the ‘matter in the light of deferred wages, ‘the corporation bearing the entire ex- pense of the pension requirements. “If I were to attempt to summarize the reasons why institutions in the United States are beginning to adopt old age pension schemes I would say that they embrace such considerations as these: The pension attaches the employe to the service and thus de- creases the liability to strike. It makes more certain a continuance of efficient men in the lines of work with which they are perfectly familiar. Of quite as much importance is the fact that a pension system enables employers to dispense with the elderly and ineffi- cient and thus give constant encour- agement to good effort on the part of younger men hoping for promotion. It operates especially as an incentive to hold men between the ages of 40 and 50 when they have acquired the ex- erfence and skill which makes them especially valuable and prevents their being tempted away by slightly in- creased wages for a temporary period. The Roar Was Inaudible. Travelers from the United States, af- ter a visit to England and the Con- tinent, are usually willing to acknow!- edge that there is a shrill quality in the voices of American women. The New York Tribune tells of a party of tourists who were on their way to visit a famous waterfall, when the power of American vocal organs was well illustrated. For two hours they ascended the quiet, pleasant road. “We are nearly there now,” the guide said at last, and with revived spirits the tourists pressed on. “How much farther, guide?” asked, a little later, a young man whose boots were tight. ‘ “Only a short distance, sir,” was the answer. “As soon as the ladies stop talking you will hear the roar.” When a well-to-do family moves ivto a town, and the members become ac- tive workers in a church, that church feels that it has found money roiling up hill. When a new fellow comes to towa, and doesn’t do very well, people soon begin to inquire: ‘Where did that fellow come from?” Popul Sy ence. The new method of producing gen- eral anesthesia proposed by Schneider- lin of Berlin, consists in giving three hypodermic injections—two hours, one hour and half an hour before opera- tion—of scopolamine with some mor- phine. Unconsciousness continues some hours after the operation. The British birth rate has been steadily declining in recent years, and the latest report shows the lowest rate on record—twenty-seven per one thou- sand for London and 29.2 per one thousand for seventy-five large towns. ‘This scarcely exceeds the death rate, which must become the greater within a few years. Sanitation has reduced the death rate, particularly among in- fants; this alone has postponed the be- ginning of race decline beyond the present time. The falling off in the birth rate—due partly to selfishness ‘aaa love of pleasure and partly to our strenuous modern living—is most seri- ous among the middle and upper classes. New England fishermen sometimes find floating on the surface of the sea an object which they have, with rare descriptive force, named, “the purple veil.” Twenty or thirty feet long by four or five wide, it resembles, says a writer in the National Geographic Magazine, a lady's veil, of gigantic size and of a violet or purple color. Pro- fessor Spencer F. Baird found that it consists of a transparent membrane, and that the purple spots are formed by innumerable embryonic fish em- bedded in little cells. These, and there may be as many as a million in a single “veil,” develop into the well- known angler or goosefish. One of these huge veils full of eggs is the product of a single adult fish, which rarely exceeds three feet in length. The storage of heat from the sun, first pointed out by Kalescinsky in 1901 in some small salt lakes of Hun- gary, has now been observed in salt lakes of various parts of Europe and in Siberia. In the Szovata lakes, a warm layer several yards thick, was found between two cooler layers, and a condition of the heating is the exist- ence of a layer of fresh or diluted salt water over the heat-absorbing layer. Even fresh water will be heated un- der a covering of oil. The stored heat sometimes rises to 150 degrees F., and may be retained for a considerable time, and in a lake of Norway it proved destructive to oysters until the cold water was let in from the open sea. Artificial solutions of various salts may be made to serve like the salt lakes as heat accumulators. Now that the Isthmus of Panama is about to be pierced with a canal, which will form a waterway for ma- rine life as well as for ships between the two oceans, the need of a biological survey of the fresh waters of this isth- mus is suggested as a proper subject for the attention of Congress, One problem for which a solution is sought is that of the connection between the fresh-water fauna of the Atlantic and the Pacific slopes of the isthmus. There are indications that the fishes of the Pacific slope streams crossed the divide from the Atlantic slope in times much more recent than that of the interoceanic connection which, it is believed, once existed at Panama. The completion of the canal before the making of the proposed biological sur- vey would obscure the problem by producing an artificial mingling of the faunas of the two slopes. Tee Pointed. When somebody asked Graham Saunders why he did not go to visit the squire’s family any more, he hesi- tated for a moment before he ven- tured to put his reason into words. “I’m not one that’s looking for slights,” he drawled at last, “and I never paid much attention when they spoke about folks that generally came at meal-times, nor any of their re- marks about large appetites.

It turned rapidly from one color to another, red, yellow, green and white. The star was first seen by Dean Wilson and Prof. Densmore of the University of Nevada, who were at work in the ob- servatory of the university. It was im- mediately reported to the townspeople and soon the streets were crowded with a chrious and observing throng. When first discovered the star was low in the heavens, but rose rapidly and_ finally reached the zenith, where it appeared to remain stationary. The university pro- fessors and astronomers here are at a loss to explain the phenomenon. It is thought by some to be a comet. a SKIN-TORTURED BABIES Instant Relief in Warm Baths with Cuticura Soap and Gentle Anointings with Cuticura Ointment.

J. A. Watrous, U. 8. A. Less than uy years ago a young fel- low in Pennsylvania was making a “stake” by selling mouse-traps. He made money. He was energetic; he drove sharp bar- gains. * In time he brought up in New York. Suddenly he came to the front as the controlling inftaence in great railroad en- terprises. He was Jay Gould. He bought more railroads and made more millions. He wrecked other roads and packed away other millions. They called him~hard - names, and he doubtiess deserved some of them. When he died, about fifteen years ago. he was hated by a great many people and loved by but few, but he was worth close to ‘a‘quarter of a billion of dollars. He left some likely children, The eld- est boy, ‘George Gould, has developed into one Gf ‘the best ‘basiness men in the coun- try. He is not a railroad wreeker. ‘He is :a buider-ap; he is a helper of cities in: many ways. His wealth is piling up. While he makes good bargains for him- self he makes good bargains for railroads, for cities, for men and states. The enterprises ‘that ‘the ‘Goulds con- trol are adding millions of dollars yearly to'towns where they have investments. Tens of theusands—probably not one less ‘than 100,000 men—are given em- ployment by the Goulds. Their payroll goes up into the ‘millions of dollars a month. Take Richmond, Va., for instanee. They own the street car and electric plant and are extending lines to Petersburg and Appomattox; to Ashland and other points. They are building a railroad that will tap the rich Northern Neck, the beauti- ful country between the Potomac and Rappahannock river, where Gov. Fair- child and Gen. Bragg took the Iron brigade the winter of 1863; they .are soon to invest $500,000 in a steeel plant on Belle Isle, where a great many northern soldiers spent various months of the year during the war. That will give employment to 800 men. ‘They are planning other factories for | Richmond, Petersburg and neighboring towns. These new enterprises, planned and some of them uncer contract, mean a phous for Richmond, such as any ‘city in the nation would be glad to receive. , | It is hard to tell what they do not mean. so * In view of what the Goulds have done. are doing and what they are to do, it is not strange that the people of Richmond are slow to engage in a move looking to municipal ownership of a street car and electric light plant, proposed by some of her citizens. But all of the Goulds are not men. There were girls in that family. Helen Gould is one of them, and she is one of the grandest women of her time; all of the time watching out for chances to do good with her great wealth. Men of the army and navy have great admiration for Helen Gould. She has been very kind to them. , She has expended hundreds of thou- sands of dollars for their comfort and pleasure. She has provided them with a thousand or more libraries, ot carefully selected books. She gave Uncle Sam $200,000 when the Jast war began. From her purse came much of _ the money that sent representatives of the Y. M. C. A. to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, where they wrought well for both the army and navy and the natives. All through the Philippines can_ be found the Helen Gould libraries, and al- ready thousands of the natives who have been taught to read in the public schools which are doing wonders for their far- away American possessions, are regular patrons of them, and by their reading and schooling are fast becoming Ameti- egnized. When the good work in the way of de- velopment and tne employment of a vast army of men, by the Gould sons, and the superb womanhood of Helen Gould, and the blessings her efforts are bestowing upon the world are taken into account, we need not regret. seriously, that their father lived, wrought and left a vast for- tune to be used by his children in many desirable channels, We need not worry about the money used by the new crop of Goulds being tainted. For that matter, do you recall that any one refused Jay Gould’s cash be- cause it was tainted? Hasn’t much good come to the world from the efforts of that early trader in mouse-traps.—Evening Wiseonsin. Oak Trees as Memorials. Many English Qneens have chosen oak trees in Windsor forest whereon theit names, with the dates of their choice. bave been commemorated by means of brass plates. In different parts of the forest, with seats around them, are oaks bearing the names of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Caro- line, Queen Charlotte and Queen Vic- toria. ‘Herne’s Oak,” mentioned in the “Merry Wives of Windsor,” as being in Windsor park. was destroyed by a_gale wn August 31, 1863.—London Daily News. +. Smokers Engage in Competition. An important competition for smokers, for which many clubs in Belgium had long been training, has just been held at Laeken, a suburb of Brussels, The purpose of the contest was to prove that more pleasure and less harm is derived from smoking slowly than from puffing away a pipe load in a few minutes. - Two hundred competitors came. from all parts of Belgium. ‘The first prize was won by Mr. Kos, who is believed ‘te have established a reeord by making his pipe last for three hours and seven eee The shortest smoke in the prize list was Mr. Saboo’s two hours and eight minutes. One of the com- petitors explained that the secret of ‘success lay in the method of filling the pipe. The best way to do this, he said, is to pack the tobacco loosely in the lower part of the pipe, press it tightly together in the center, and more freely at the top. SS A NEW CAN-OPENER. ‘Will Not Slip and Endanger the Hand of the User. | So many different kinds of can-openers are manufactured that perfection in their design would secm to have been reached. Such does not scem to be the case, as 2 New York man has patented ‘still another, which he claims is superior to any new used. His invention apper- tains more particularly to the construc: tion of the head of the can-opener with relation to its co-operating parts, and its object, in addition to providing a eun- opener wherein the head may be made of sheet meta! stamped or formed up, is to provide an implement or utensil L | 4 a ees 4 bo ,O DANGER OF CUTTING THE HAND. that can be used on the tops or sides of cans without liability of its slipping and causing an irregular and ragged cut. It also prevents such unstability in use as will prevert a rapid opening of a can or endanger the hand of the user through the fulerum failing to bite well into the metal of the can. It comprises a cut- ting blade attached to a handle and a fulerum head parallel with and extend. ing above the blade, consisting of 4 shank having prongs with narrow froni flanges projecting downward. If it is desired to open a can at the top, the blade is forced through the tep of the can near the edge until the recessed por- tion of the flange contacts with the edge of the can. The handle is then forced downward, the head being raised slight- My and thrust forward by the contact of the back of the blade with the metal of the can. The blade having been project- ed to its full length beneath the can top, the handle is then raised. One side prouz rests upon the top of the can and serves to steady the can-opener when in use. avoiding the possibility of the implement slipping sidewise. ‘Io complete the oper- ation of the opening of the can the han- dle is repeatedly oscillated with a for- ward thrust each time to accomplish the proper feeding movement. ABILENE’S HOPPER TRAP: Contrivance Which Failed to Accomplish All That Was Expected. The report of grasshoppers in south- western Kansas recalls the famous hop- per killer that 'C. C. Henry tried here once. ‘he hoppers had eaten every- thing in 1874 and in the spring of 1875 the young ones were thick. “Something had to be done,” said Mr. Henry, “and when we heard of an invention in Colo- rado that would clean up a field we de- cided to get it. “We had sowed wheat three times with seed at $2 a bushel and the farm- ers who were in the business on a sitall margin were desperate. ‘The whole crop of new hoppers were hatching out, and it looked as though there would not be a green thing left in the country. We had tried burning them in ditches and various plans, but none of them seemed to work. “Then I heard of the Colorado wonder and took teh train ter Boulder, where the inventor lived. His name was King, and he was very proud of his invention. It was something like a huge fanning mill turned upside down. There was a let of complicated machinery inside that was supposed to create a suction close to the ground and draw tie oye into the interior, where they would killed by the impact or could be dumped in rows and so destroyed by pouring oi! on them and setting the heap atire. “I bought the machine and started home with it, taking it by express, so hurried were we to get to work clearing up the pests. I wired ahead and there were several hundred people at the train to receive me and my treasure when we arrived. “A day was set for the trial and dele- gates came from all parts ‘of central ‘Kansas to see it. C. V. Reilly, the state entomologist, came with the rest, and many learned men were present from the state colleges and the university. It partook of the nature of a great scientific expedition when we all went out of town toward the field on the Smoky Hill bot- toms for the opening trial. Hundreds of farmers were lined up and the town was deserted. It meant a great deal to dis- cover the remedy for grasshopper ills. 1 was somewhat nervous, for I had a sort of a hunch that the thing would not werk. It did not look quite right to me for_a practical implement. “But we started in bravely, the wheels began to go round and the grasshoppers were supposed to be cleaned off the earth in a wide swath following the in- strument’s patb. As a matter of fact there were about as many as there were before. A few hundred or thousand were sucked into the machine—but sev- eral millions were ‘eft on the ground and it dawned on everybody that the machine was a failure. “The famous hopper killer was hauled sadiy back to town and placed in a va- cant lot. It stood there for many years and at last was taken by the old junk man.”—Abilene Reflector. Composite Pronoun Wanted. The want of 2 composite pronoun to express both “he” and “she.” and, what is sometimes more important, to express neither he nor she, must have em- barrassed every one at some time or an- other. There are ungrammatical ways of shelving the difficulty; such as, for instance. by translating the convenient French “on” as “they,” when we really mean one beady who may be either mas- culine or feminine. The lack of a port- manteau word to express both sexes without specifying either, did not, how- ever, trouble the new maid who ap- proached her mistress with the ingenious remark; oe a friend of mine has ealled—and may I ask it to ten ?’—Lon don Chronicle. AND — OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with, the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, he there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who a not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—*“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In oie to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by oer one who values health and aes Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who willsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonableprices. a ge CLAIM DESCENT FROM LOUIS XVII. Party in France with Sincere but Not Numerous Adherents. On the occasion of the anniversary of the death of Marie Antoinette mass was said in the humble but ancient church 9f St. Denis at La Chapelle, in the pres- ence of the“King and Queen of France and the Dauphin.” The royal personages were a quiet looking gentleman apparently about 40 years of are a lady, very simply dressed, and a little boy with long fair. curls, whom she held by the hand. A small number of elderly ladies and gentlemen received their majesties and bowed low when they alighted from a motor car. The King of France in question is the descendant of Naundorff, who alleged that he was Louis XVII, son of Louis XVI., having been saved from the Tem- ae Prison, and not, as most historians lieve, done to death in boyhood, an- other child having been substituted for the real Dauphin. The present King of France de jure is in deadly earnest about his divine right to the throne, and his followers, who style themselves the only real legitimist party of France, are, though not very numerous, equally sincere and devoted to the cause. It is, however, rather a platonic devotion, and the party has yet made no apparent attempt to bring about a revolution in order to set the King upon his rightful throne. After the religious service the congregation, numbering about a dozen persons, bent knees and kissed hands while bowing low to the Queen and the Dauphin. ‘The King’s name is Jean, and he is therefore John ILI. of France.

"Do you," said the preacher, "take this woman to be your wedded wife, to love and to cherish in sickness and health, for better, for worse, for rich or poor, until death do you part?" There was an awkward pause. Then the bridegroom finally replied, "Them's the calculations." Punctuation—A high school girl said to her father the other night: "I've got a sentence here I'd like you to punctuate. You know something about punctuation, don't you?" "A little," said her cautious parent. This is what he read: "A five dollar bill flew around the corner." He studied it carefully. "Well," he finally said, "I simply put a period after it, like this." "I wouldn't," said the high school girl; "I'd make a dash after it." "EAST LYNNE" VILLAGE GOES TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER ```markdown ``` Abberton Hall Kington Church East Lynne, that is to say the village which, under that name, is the scene of Mrs. Henry Wood's novel, "East Lynne," is being sold. The whole village is to go to the highest bidder and whoever buys in the estate will find himself possessor of an English parish complete. There is the village, manor farms, pasture lands and orchards. On the map of England, East Lynne figures as an obscure but very ancient Worchestershire village under the name Abberton. It is Abberton, however, which contains the hall in which Lady Isabel had her youthful home, where she returned as the bride of Archibald Carlyle, who to return again, disguised as Madame to pass away after having confessed a forgiveness. Few popular novels, perhaps, have than "East Lynne," but few have ever Wood wrote "East Lynne" in 1861, when Monthly."

It requires great good will to the heroine could return to her husband's house, the husband seeing through the transparent doors.

In church of Abberton possesses many points of belief to have been a chapelry as early as the dedicated to St. Edburga, the sainly daughter of the master. From early childhood Edburga manifested these culminated in her assuming the veil of the gold of her that when one day her kingly fathers and gold in one hand and a book of the Gossip, she chose the latter. It was inevitable that she have miracles associated with her name, and she been wrought in remote times around her shrine.

Few popular novels, perhaps, have contained more glaring literary faults than "East Lynne," but few have ever equaled it in popularity. Mrs. Henry Wood wrote "East Lynne" in 1861, when it first appeared in "Colburn's New Monthly." As soon as it was completed, it was issued in book form. It went through edition after edition in Great Britain, was pirated vigorously in America and translated into every known language, including Parsee and Hindustani. One of the librarians in Madrid, years after, told the author's son that the most popular book on the shelves was "East Lynne." For forty years it has, as a play, had a successful run on the stage. Numerous versions of it were produced between 1861 and 1890, but from none of them did the author profit a cent. "East Lynne" has made more than $1,000,000 for others, and only fame for its author. The story is, from the modern point of view, defective in almost everything which makes a novel a work of art; but it cannot be said to lack incident or interest. Half of its popularity at the time of its publication was undoubtedly due to the reaction then setting in against inane and impossible goodness. It was a protest against the conventional hero, and on the stage it was one of the earliest of modern "problem" plays, before "problem" plays were recognized and labeled. It requires great good will to the author to believe that the heroine could return to her husband's house and remain there without the husband seeing through the transparent disguise of a pair of blue goggles. Modern criticism is apt to characterize Lady Isabel as a very silly woman and her husband as a very dense specimen of manhood. While Mrs. Henry Wood was not skillful in character drawing, she is said to have had in mind a former owner of Abberton Hall when she drew Mr. Carlyle. This gentleman restored the old church and was generally admired in the neighborhood for his uniform kindness and generosity. Abberton is the modern spelling of the Ebriton of the Domesday Book, and it goes back to Saxon times, when its owners were the abbots of Pershore. In the reign of Edward I., the name was changed to Albreton, and in 1524 all the manorial rights and patronage of the parish were granted to Thomas and Francis Sheldon by Henry VIII. Until late in the eighteenth century the Sheldons held the manor, but then the estate passed into the hands of F. Laslet, who represented the borough of Worcester in Parliament for some years. The parish church of Abberton possesses many points of great historic interest. It is believed to have been a chapelry as early as the twelfth century and is dedicated to St. Edburga, the sainly daughter of the Saxon King, Edward the Elder. From early childhood Edburga manifested deep religious feelings, and these culminated in her assuming the veil of a nun in later years. It is told of her that when one day her kingly father offered her glittering jewels and gold in one hand and a book of the Gospels and a chalice in the other, she chose the latter. It was inevitable that such a pious woman should have miracles associated with her name, and many are reported to have been wrought in remote times around her shrine at Pershore. The present church building is not the one in which Edburga worshiped. There have been two restorations, but some portions of the windows of the old church still remain, and there is a Norman font which is well preserved, although credibly reported to be 800 years old. There are many magnificent tombs of the Sheidon family, both at Abberton Church and at Beoly. Those at Abberton date from 1659 and are under the western tower of the church. The register of the church is also full of curious antiquarian interest, for it goes back to 1661 and has been carefully kept by a succession of rectors. The manor hall of Abberton is situated within easy distance of Birmingham, and the grounds march on the south side with the estate of the Duke of Orleans. It stands on an eminence surrounded by fine forest trees and commanding views of the Malvern Hills, the Lench Woods, the fertile and charming Vale of Evesham, and the Cotswold Hills. The hall is a commodious building, and the most interesting relic of its early days is a stone and brick Elizabethan chimney with the date 1619 carved on it. Flevel Manor, which is also situated in the parish, was once the property of Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, who, however, lost it in one of the social and political upheavals of his time. At the dissolution of the monasteries all the lands fell into the hands of Henry VIII., who parted with them to the Sheldons, and it was in this way that that old family came into possession of the entire parish.—Montreal Star.
