KILLED BY T., P. & W. TRAIN.

William Stapleton Instantly Killed We&t Of Chatsworth On Monday Morning.

The east bound m orning passenger on the T., P. & W. railroad, due here a t 9:80 a. in..struck W illiam Stapleton on Monday morning, about a mile and a half west of town, and killed him a l­m ost instantly . The un fortunate man was s it t in g on the north rail of the track , and was seen by th e engine men, and the engineer sounded the w histle w arning him to get off th e track, and supposed tha t he would do so. How­ever he failed to move un til the tra in , w hich was running a t a rapid speed, was so near him th a t it was im ­possible to stop it before it struck him and he was hurled off th e track and died alm ost in stan tly .

The rem ains were brought to th is city. Coroner W. E Slyder was sumr moned and arrived a t about three o’clock in t lie afternoon, on a special engine sen t from F orrest. He im- paieled the following jury: Dr. T . C. Seright. foreman: J . H. Doud, Jam es Bergan, H .'O . McCombs, J . C. C orbett and Cecil Rumbold. A fter hearing the evidence, the jury rendered a verdict to the effect th a t deceased came to h is dea th by being struck by a T., P. & W. tra in , the circum stance being due to gross negligence on the part of deceased.

W illiam Stapleton had resided in th is v icinity for about eigtit years, being a native of New York. He was 4" years old and was a moulder by trade. Since coming here lie had worked for various farm ers in th is vicinity , and had been working tills spring for John Miller, who resides two miles west of town. He was in town on Monday morning, and it is supposed th a t tie s ta rted to walk to Mr. M iller's place, and sa t down upon th e track and fell a sleep. Deceased was related to M esdam erJohnO ’Brien and W illiam Lawless, of C harlo tte township.

T h e funeral services were held on Tuesday m orning a t SS. P e te r and P au l’s church, Rev. F a th e r Ryan, of P iper C ity, officiating, and the re­m ains were Interred in St. P a tr ic k ’s cem e te ry .__

"THE SIMPLE LIFE"IT IS KNOW N IN THE LAND

OF THE MIKADO.

WOT A V ISIO N O R T H E O R Y

Jap an ese Home Life an Idy l of Sim­plicity — No Changes of Fashion Affect National Costume—Pastries an d Rich Candles Unknown — C hildlike Enjoym ent of Flowers— Sim plicity the D istinguishing Fea­tu re in A rt—“ Greatness in Small T hings.”

B y E d w a rd B u ck ley , I’ll I> (T he l n lver- eU y o f C hicago , fo rm er!) p ro fe sso r In

th e D o sh ls lia College, K \o lo .»{ C o p y rig h t. 1905. b} Jo sep h B. B ow les.) The simple life in Japan is no vision

c r theory or homily, but a realized fact in every sphere of life, though not unaccompanied, of course, by much that is elaborate, artificial and otherwise opposed to the quality of simplicity. Certainly Japan is not yet Utopia, and writers, like Sir Edwin Arnold and Lafcadio Hearn, have made it appear so only by garbling th e ir accounts. Yet. just as certainly the peo,,.e have in many respects dis­tinguished themselves above all oth­ers upon earth; and to this list of preeminences — including cleanness, artistry , adaptability. self-control, courtesy and loyalty—must clearly be added simplicity. Charles Wagner has no more to teach the Japanese than has William Morris, though both these prophets are just now being preached as Ihe special need ot America. This being so. it may prove worth while to survey the Japanese field for sim­plicity; and. in any case, a new in­eight will be gained into the mind of a people whose recent achievement in warfare lays an obligation upon us to reconsider in its light every previous | verdict upon the Sunrise people. It is j not for a moment meant that Amer- I {cans could well adopt all or even any | of these Japanese simplicities just as j they are; hut that they may well “give ns pause" and may serve to indicate a direction towards which we can travel j from our standpoint.

The Japanese house is simplicity Itself, being a light wooden frame­work. covered with a thatched or tiled roof, and supported on stones which lie on the surface of the ground. One o r two of the sides may he covered with a plastered wall, the others will be open to the air and light in sum­mer, and protected by translucent pa­per sides in winter. Further protec­tion at night, as also in violent storm, is secured by sliding wooden doors. Rooms are divided from each other by opaque paper elides, removal of which converts several room.-, *nto one. Floors are covered with rush mats, always six by three feet in size, and

to eight of them. Furniture Is con­spicuous by its absence, despite the fact that a single room may serve as parlor, dining-room and chamber in one. No chairs or tables are needed because Japanese sit with feet under them upon the soft mats; no bed­steads are in use because Japanese sleep upon thick quilts spread on the m ats at night and stored in a closet by day. Meals are served to each in­dividual on a separate lacquer tray. Ablutions are taken in some common spot convenient to house and well. The best rooms usually have an al­cove raised a few inches above the floor, In which there stands one vase o f flowers and hangs one scroll bear­ing a picture or legend.

Evidently it would prove impossible ! to reduce a human i.abitation to sim- 1 pier terms than these and at the same time maintain the nigh culture that •exists in Japan and indeed reveals itself in these very household arrange­ments; for, though all Is simple, all is also scrupulously clean, precisely neat, exquisitely finished, well propor­tioned, harmonious.)' colored and reslrainedly ornamented. The single vase and scroll will be exchanged for others as season or celebration de­mands; and these reserves with all o ther family treasures of clothing, toys, books, and the like, are kept in «. small fireproof storehouse made of mud. The Japanese house, then, is no hut, but shows a national style of architecture, cheap yet serviceable, alight yet healthful, simple yet ele- jgant. The entire treatment of the Japanese Interior is intensive, that is, a little done to perfection, whereas o ther peoples, except in their espe­cially cultured circles, incline to an extensive array of articles, chosen and placed without keen discrimination of Alness or beauty. Especially dp we Americans litter our walls with prints, and ornaments, and even photographs o f our friends, most of which things would serve us far better if occasion­ally brought out from the drawer, book, portfolio or thest, where they lielong.

• • • • •T tje a! tuple life of the Japanese

shows itself, furthermore. In their clothing. F irst and foremost, no in­cessant change of fashion diverts them from a beautiful national costume, -which, like the size and shape of their m ats and floors and houses, can there­fore become standardized with a re- .su ltan i economy, a t well as adapted :*ad reflmv; with a resultant beauty. Only one sh irt Is cut to flt the figure closely; the other gnrments are wide­ly blocked out, and In consequence •cither flow somewhat loosely or are .gathered together with a sash. It has not occurred to the Japanese .to stick rlngs on his Angers any more than bells on hla toes; and though he— or gather she—employ j the useful comb

and hairpin, these, like the best silk dresses, last a lifetime, and Indeed are sometimes passed on from mother to daughter. No such atrocity as a starched shirt ever deprived the Jap­anese skin of needed ventilation, nor did such ridiculous gear as a silk hat ever insult his head. Rather would his fine sense for beauty and use ap­prove the act of William Morris, when he placed upon a chair the cylinder hat he had lately worn as director of a commercial company, and prompt­ly sat down upon it! The Japanese hat, when worn at all, Is light and well ventilated; and the sandal like­wise is a model of hygiene, though too friable for use in the army.

• • » • •Japanese food is at the same time

simple and sufficiently varied, mak­ing its staples of rice, fish, beans and eggs, with a few vegetables and frulta. Pastry and rich Canutes are unknown, opium is prohibited, smoking is of the mildest tobacco in the minutest of pipes, and rice-wine is the only in­toxicant. This combined simplicity and moderation contribute a. not in­considerable share to the remarkaule vitality of the people and to that healthiness for whh h the army and navy are distinguished. There is ex­tremely little waste of food in Japan. Everything is carefully trimmed, sea­soned and cut up before cooking, so that the eater can readily manage with a pair of chopsticks, and thus dispense with the litter of table silver and vessels and covers which commer­cialism and luxury and fancy combine to place in ever-increasing number upon the western table. That Japan­ese enjoy perhaps the best teeth in the world is partly cause, partly effect of such food, such cooking and such eat­ing.

• • » • •This simplicity so noticeable in the

house, furniture, clothing, ornaments and food of the Japanese extends like­wise to activities where the mental factor predominates. For example, in j their amusements the Japanese plan games and sports, no! unlike our own, but without that mania for gambling that besets the peoples of China, India, and. in less degree, those in Europe and America. The baneful practice is known in Japan, but is prohibited with success, and moreover is not reckoned respectable. The same abili­ty to win satisfactory pleasure from simple conditions appears in the Jap­anese enjoyment of their numerous festivals, wherein holy day still means holiday. This is rn often-observed trait of the Japanese; and among oth­ers, Maj. Gen. Palmer writes: "Sure­ly. for happiness, gentleness and so­briety, for soft-voiied and always- smiling chatter, for the blessed quali­ty of inhaling healthful enjoyment from the simplest things—no other country can even profess to show the match of a festival crowd in Japan." What an asset to the mental wealth of a people is this "blessed quality" compared with the obtuse tempera­ments of the average Britisher and German and Russian, which must be raised to festival pitch by deep pota­tions of ardent spirits! j

« • « • •If the simple life is to be at the

same time a sufficient life, then a prime element in its composition must be supplied by that sense for beauty which revels equally in nature and In art. Here the Japanese enjoy a clear title to preeminence As for nature, practically the whole population of a city turns cut several times in the year for no other purpose than to visit places noted for certain kinds of blos­som. The principal flower-festivals for Tokyo celebrate the plum in Feb­ruary and March, the cherry in early April, the azalea in middle April, the peony in early May, the wistaria in June, the convolvuli's in July, the lotus in August and the chrysanthemum 1 and the maple (leafI in November. Visitors stand or sir to gaze long and | keenly at these living and fragrant jewels of vegetation and point out j this or that distinguishing quality, not only of bloom but also of foliage, with critical judgment. A famous old plum tree, just outside the palace wall in Kyoto, is called “tree of the re­turn,” because a former mikado, after stopping to admire it and passing on, turned back under constraint to ad­mire it "some more! '

It is small wonder that so ardent a love of nature should have impelled the Japanese to transcribe onto pa­per the varied beauty of peak and pine, of stream and fish, of field and flower which they see before them. Hokusai was spokesman for his peo­ple when he declared that he paint­ed nature because Its myriad objects all seemed joyous to him; and E- von Hartmann, that prince of pessimists, was able to give no better counsel for the blues than is implied in this Jap­anese sentiment. No national art equal to the Japanese in combined force and grace is at the same time so simple. Rarely is the picture a com­pleted whole, but rather a bit, an im­pression, a suggestion, a concordance; which, however, amply suffices the c »d of art, inasmuch as it stirs an emo­tion, \b lle it delights a sense for color or line. The means used are the very simplest: A brush and pa­per and ink (or water color) that also serve the letterW rlter; and indeed to write, to draw hnd to paint are all expressed by the same Japanese word, kakeru. When finished, the picture even though it be a masterpiece, la never framed, but Is simply mounted on stout paper and rolled upon a stick with a second stick to stretch the pa­per when hung up. Orlglnala are aa common in Japan as copies with us, while the color block-prints of Japan form at once the simplest and the beat democratic art the world ever saw. *

• • • 9 aThe caae for simplicity In literature

is ns good as In art, though thn lit­

erature as a whole enjoys ho such high rank as does the visual art. The Japanese have composed no epics, but they have produced creditable dramas and lyrics, which, however, show no characteristically Japanese forms. I! is the tiny ode of 31 syllables that sup­plies one more example of the Jap­anese greatness in email things. The structure Is aa simple as the extent is short; for here prosody requires neither rhyme, meter, accent nor al­literation. but only that the five lines count five, seven, five, seven, seven syllables re sp ec tiv e . However, so musical is Japanese prose tha t this crude line meter suffices to turn It Into poetical form, with the advantage that Japanese emotion may hurst into song without a long training in the mysteries of versification. 8o It is as common for a Japanese to compose an ede as it is to sketch an Impression; and the two are sometimes combined with excellent effect. Here is an ex­ample of this tiny ode, where, how­ever, the translation has not preserved the form of the original.

Japanese music, as a whole, has ex­celled no more than has Japanese lit­erature. and can therefore claim the less credit for its simplicity, though the quality is there and has its pecul­iar value. The Japanese esteem mu­sic but little and commit its cultiva­tion to blind men and women. Conse­quently there is no notation, milady can qever claim that she has forgotten her music, she Is also never tired or out of practice: and, since the samlsen —a banjo introduced from Manila in the seventeenth century—Is found in practically every house, music Is as common in Japan ls It is simple. When one has observed how generally the exclusive piano-forte has dis-i placed the smaller musical instru­ments In the American home, and how, then, in turn, this piano has frequently become merely a prominent piece of furniture, with the conse­quence that our hon;es run short of a chief solace In life, he is inclined to long for a Japanese simplicity that would make music more manageable and not too good for human nature'* daily food.

And not only tills, but with the introduction of the automobile, with the coming on of the drivers' strike, and last and heaviest the blow struck by the Iroquois theater fire, the general business of the livery­man in Chicago just at this time couldiiol be tiurac.

Looking for the reasons tor the toss of interest in the sleigh, Leroy Payne recalls that sleighing at the present time is for another class altogether than that which once affected it in Chicago.

The time was when every sleigh and cutter in the barns would be out and on the jump, hired for the most part to young men who occupied i^hrkships in counting rooms or in State street stores. These young people do not affect sleigh­ing any more. I don't know what amusement they have taken up in its stead, but it is certain that the old-time sleighing party which used to make up on winter nights for an evening's drive over the avenues and boulevards has disappeared. Notwithstanding the snow of the present winter, we have not had one-fourth of the sleighing that might have been expected last fall.

"As to driving in general, the auto­mobile has hurt the business of the liveryman, but nothing In the history of the livery business in Chicago has had the effect on the business that the the­ater fire had. With the fir« came a sud­den. swift shutdown on the demand for carriages and all manner of wheeled vehicles. The effect of the drivers' strike was nothing to It. The closing of the city's theaters and the halls in which dances were held simply put an extin­guisher upon the carriage business. The demand from the theater party has gone and nothing else in the carriage line has come to take its place. To my mind, it will be a long time after the theaters and halls are open again before the carriage business picks up again to its old aver­age.

"With the passing of sleighing, too. It may be remarked that carriage driving, as it once prospered In Chicago, is going. If the clerk at large hired sleighs in win­ter. he also hired buggies and carriages on pleasant Sunday afternoons and evenings. But he doesn’t do It any more. Somewhere he has lost Interest In driving, and presumably he cannot afford automoblling. But it is hard on the liveryman.”

Foot and Body in Proportion.Not long ago a prize waa offered to

the lady having the "smallest and pret tiest foot." It was won by a person so constituted as to have to wear a child's size of shoe. That Is to say that a foot abnormal in type outclassed the shape­ly and natural member. The size of the foot should be in proportion to the size of the whole body. It either ls this or it ls to some extent a deformity. Thus a small foot might as easily be a blemish as an adornment— Washing­ton Times.

[Sp ec ia l C orrespondence by Will Colvin.]Springfield, 111., April 6.—May 2) is

suggested aa the date for adjournment of the Illinois legislature. W ith the vast amount of legislation tha t is ab­solutely necessary, It js scarcely pos­sible that adjournment can be taken earlier, and the session may last con­siderably longer. As a m atter of fact, really nothing has been accomplished up to this time. Many of the most Im­portant measures that are expected to develop from the session are slumber­ing In committee, and may not see the light of day, even should the general as­sembly remain in session until June 20, because of the efforts on the part of committee chairmen to hold them up. Others are slowly plodding along on first, second and third reading, with favorable prospects of defeat upon go­ing to the next house.

How the Bills Stand.The republican party is pledged to a

primary election bill. One finally has passed the house, but It Is satisfactory only in a partial way. The house bill has been rearranged by the senate, and there is likely to be a big fight before both houses reach an agreement. Then follow In importance the civil serv­ice bills, one or two of which are on third reading in the house, while the senate has not touched either. The good roads bill has not been re­ported from the committee, because of the vast criticism from the farm­ing communities of the state. For weeks Chairman McGill has spent his time In the country districts trying to explain to Inquisitive and hostile farmers the benefits to result from a hard roads bill, but his success is meager. The passage of a greatly modi­fied bill is a m atter of grave doubt.

F ig h t on A nti-T rust Bill.The anti-trust bill, introduced by

McKinley, and considered one of the Important pieces of legislation to come from this session, has reached third reading in the house. Their efforts are making to send It hack to com­mittee for amendment. If these are unsuccessful, the bill will have hard sledding in the senate. Insurance In­terests that are included in the op­eration of the measure are making the fight on it, and are being assisted by the big department stores and manu­facturers of Chicago. The bill takes the life of underwriters' associations, and for this reason the Chicago per­sons Interested declare that its pass­age will increase thtdr Insurance rates.

Demand for Gas Legislation.Gas legislation has been held up by

Chairman Church, of the committee on municipal corporations. There is a demand In Chicago, and, In fact, all over the state, for some kind of gas legislation by this general assembly, but it is doubtful if the demand will be realized. Both sides have had a hearing before Church's committee. On each occasion he refused to enter­tain a motion to report out one of the three bills pending, either of which will be satisfactory to most of the members of the house. ' But a gas measure up to the senate, and see it squirm..” is a plea frequently made by different house members. It is openly intimated by the same members that the Chicago gas trust has too many friends in the senate for an antagonis­tic measure to ever see the light of day after reaching the upper body.

Other Bills Fending.Among other Important measures

pending are the board of trade bills, the fellow servant Mil, the shot flrers bill, which has passed the senate, and recently been reported out by the house committee on mines and mining, the anti-loan-sharks' bill, and the dif­ferent resolutions providing for impor­tant investigations. Of the resolutions only one has been acted upon by com­mittee. This is Manny's providing for an Illinois Central railroad Investi­gation to determine If the company ls paying seven per cent, of Its gross earnings, as provided In the original charter grant I nto the state treasury. The house judiciary committee has report- eu the resolution out, but It is yet to be adopted by the house.

See Evil in Chicago Charter.More than half of the time of the

session so far has oeen devoted to Chi­cago charter, but there has been no resu lt The bill exempting mercantile corporations from assessment on their capital stock passed the Benate by al­most a unanimous vote. Reaching the house, it, was sent to the committee on

corporations, and there was referredto a subcommittee of five. Many country members look upon the bill as one of the most vicious places of legislation Uat could possibly reault at this session. It ls backed by a tax dodging crowd, known as the Illinois Manufacturers' association. It la al­leged that the passage of the bill will exempt from capital stock taxation such Interests aa the Illinois steel trust, the Pullman company, and others of like size, which already pay less taxes proportionately than tha or­dinary farmer or owner of small prop­erty. The subcommittee has a fairly good understanding of what the bill means, and Is likely to withhold action until it is too late for the house to pass the measure. Probably this ls one Instance In which the holding up of a bill may be justified.

Little Buslneas Done.Neither house reconvened until

Wednesday morning, and then only a corporal's guard was present in either. The representatives and senators re­mained at home for their municipal elections. The few who returned en­deavored to work through the three remaining days of the week, Wednes­day. Thursday and Friday, and were partially successful, In so far a t least as committee action on a few bills was concerned. The house Judiciary com­mittee gave a final hearing to the Anti- Saloon league officers on the local op­tion bill, and then went Into executive session for action on the measure. It Is certain that the bill will be reported out with a favorable recommendation, but It Is not so certain that the com­mittee will see fit to report the bill wlhout amendments. This la what Is demanded by the Anti-Saloon league, the bill having passed the sen­ate in its present form. Few house members nad any conception of the local option bill until Judge J. Barton Payne, of Chicago, representing the United States Brewing company, ex­plained Its provisions. The bill Is really bad in many respects, and should not be passed without changes. It ls doubtful, however, if these will be made, because the threats of the Anti-Saloon league have Intimidated several of the house members. The anti-policy-shop bill also was consid­ered again in committee, but no defi­nite action was taken on the much-ad­vertised and many-times-lost measure.

Body Lags No More.These are among the most Impor­

tant days that the general assembly of Illinois will know. Right now the most important of all the work of the session is being accomplished. This Is the time in the session when manip­ulations of every character are go­ing on and these manipulations are dally determining the fate of one bill or another, some be­ing for a food and proper cause, oth­ers with vicious motives and Intent. It is right at this time In the session that the stlffest efforts are put forth In the interest of bad bills and there are a number of these to be found In either house of the present general as­sembly. While some hills are shown to had on their face, the motives of others are seriously questionable.

principle that a man's home ls hla castle was appllt^ by a Jury In the circuit court In the finding for the defendant la the case of James Tobin against John Wlnklemeyer for $6,000 damages be­cause the latter’s dog bit Tobin. It was shown that Tobin was endeavoring to crawl into the dog’s kennel to take a nap, when the dog disfigured his face. The defense set up that the dog bad a perfect right to defend its own premises against an intruder, and the jury so de­cided.

A nti-T rust Bill to Pass.McKinley's anti-trust measure, which

has the unqualified sanction of ‘the attorney general, is a special order and probably will be passed.

In­surance boards of underwriters will be compelled to go out of business If the bill becomes a law.

Senate Passes Berry Bill.The senate has passed Berry's bill,

authorizing the transportation of chil­dren to school in consolidated country districts, the cost, to be paid out of the public school funds If authorized by a majority of the voters at any general election. The bill met with opposition in the senate on the ground m at it is class legislation.

Manny’s Resolution Liked.Manny’s resolution providing a com­

mittee of nine to determine by in­vestigation whether the Illinois Cen­tral railroad has paid to the state seven per cent, annually of its gross earnings on the charter lines has been favorably acted upon by the Judiciary committee. I t la now up to the house to pass the resolution by adopting the committee report. In 1899 C. H. Bosworth, acting for the state, made an investigation along the line suggested In the resolution. The report furnished by him a t that time i makes no reference to the vast sub- ! urban business done by the Illinois . Central railroad in Chicago, neither | does it mention that any revenues are received from advertising, both of which are large items in the column of gross receipts. Manny's resolution also attacks the right of the railroad company to own and operate coal j mines under Its charter, and contends | If their operation Is legal the pro- ! ceeds from coal sources should be In- j eluded in the gross • receipts on which j the seven per cent, ls paid to the state.

■\ need to take anybody's word on the sub­ject for our own experience has taught us how well they deserve praise.

" It was just about ten years ago that I first read about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and bought my first box. I was at that time all ran down, weak, nervous and without ambition. I had been doc­toring all summer for malaria and stomach trouble. Everybody thought I was going into consumption, as my mother had died of that disease.

“ Thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I am now alive and hearty. I began to improvo as soon as I began to take them, and when I had taken three boxes I was a well woman. Everyone wonders how I keep so well and am able to care for my homo and six children without help. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills explaiu it.

" My oldest girl’s health began to fail when she was about fourteen. 8be was nervous, complained of sharp pains in her head, would get deathly sick and

g/have to leave the school room to get fresh air to revive her. I gave some pills to her. She took only a few boxes, bnt they cored her troubles, and caused her to develop into a perfect picture of health. Then my husband took them for rheumatism and found that they wonld core that too. So yon seo wo have all got great good from using them, and that Is why we reoorn- mend them to othors,"

Mrs. Minuio B. Gossett lives at Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Go., Ohio, and is well known, as she has resided iu the same neighborhood for more than thir­teen years. Her story shows that a medicine which makos tho blood sonnd and tho nerves strong, overcomes a vari­ety of diseases and should be found In every household. Dr. Williams’Kuk Pills are sold by all druggists everywhere.

’’They have cured anaemia, and all forms of weakness, also the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism. They are indispensable for growing girls.

By Mother’s Food and Drink.

Many babies gAve been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken In with their moth­er’s milk. Mothers cannot be too care­ful as to the food they use while nurs­ing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother Is a case In point:

” 1 was a great coffeq drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat a meal without it But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain In my heart, to which was added, two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking It from me!

“In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk, l have since ascer­tained that it really dries up the milk.

“So, I quit coffee, and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Cof­fee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but It Increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and need Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which hs had been troubled. I-«o longer suf­fer from the dlxxtness, mind spells, pain In my heart or sour stomach. Postum has cured them.

“Now we all drink Postum, from my husband to my saven-montha’-oM baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink wa have ever used. We would not give up Postum for ths best cof­fee we ever drank.** Name given by Postum Oo., Battle Greek, Mich.

TEMPER BEAUTY'S ENEMY.A Calm and Placid Manner and Way

at Looking at Lite Conducive to Orcwth of Physical Charm.

Temper has much to do with ths de­struction of a fine and delicately tint­ed skin. You are familiar with the woman who becomes pale with anger or purple with rage, yellow with dis­appointment or green with envy.

The pallor, the purple patches, and the jaundice, are Apt to become fixed— and a woman whose complexion con­sists of a scheme of color In which these tints predominate, distinctly bears the color im print of the sere, the yellow leaf.

A bad complexion Is sometimes the outward and visible sign of a lad tem­per, hence serenity is to be cultivated as an aid to natural beauty, says a writer in the American Queen. W or­rying about household m -tte is and servants Is to be avoided a t all cost as tending to accelerate the fading of June’s roses from th9 cheeks of ths not too youthful, and ths t?mptation of the active minded, alw iys to be doing something, must be s Tenuously resisted.

Unless you have p’e ity of rest and relaxation, both of mind and muscle, your mirror will soon b 'g 'n to cast reflections on your face and tiny little wrinkles will appear one by one, i the stars come out on a summer's night. But “atgm soft s'umber al urea thee,” be careful not to sleep with the hand under the cheeky as this certainly tends to numb and wrinkle the skin. Another point to attend to Is not to allow the Jaw to drop when you fall asleep; this Is apt to foster the appear­ance of lines on either side of the mouth. •

Undoubtedly bad temper la not the only enemy of beauty, but also the first cause of many nervous disorders, and many of the Ills that follow a bad digestion.

Who has ever seen a really happy woman with an unwholesome looking skin? Worry, continuous fretting, envy and maliciousness not only weir the face with ugly lines, but destroy tho foundations of the entire constitu­tion.

Therefore beware, and use the only solvent remedy. Cultivate cai'nness. courage, cheerfulness, amiability and affection, and as the sun drives the fogs of night before It. so the ugliness will give place, If not to beauty, then to charm.

The old woman who want3 to be young must learn all over again how to walk. And Before she does this she must learn how to stand. Stand well and you will walk well Is a pretty good rule, declares Mme. D’Arcy.

To stand well your feet must bo com­fortable. And this is a good thought for the elderly woman. Make your feet comfortable. Few old women are ahle to stand well because they have

which rnflKe their fetjcfeel ill a t ease.

Feet can be kept more comfortable by rubbing them with vaseline every night. They can be kept comfortable by changing the shoes every day. Nev­er wear the same pair of shoes all day long. And there Is another shoe rule —namely, that shoes should be fre­quently eased. Take your shoes and wet them soaking wet. Take a walk in them and let them dry on the feet. This will mold them to the form of the foot.

And another thing. If the shoes feel hard and stiff rub them with oil. Grease your shoes frequently If you want to have them comfortable. You must keep the leather soft and pliable.

Stockings should fit the feet. There are too many pairs of 111-flttlng stock­ings. And when the m atter of shoes and stockings has been arranged there should come the question of heels.

As soon as a woman feels old and tired she begins to wear low heels. She takes the "lifts” off her heels and she lets her step become laggy. Have your heels of good height. Preserve the arch of the foot. Don’t let your feet grow flat. Try always to have trim, neat-looking shoes. These are excel­lent foot rules for any woman.

Now, about the walk. There is an English Instructor who gives -these ruleB for "walking young:’’

“To walk young, walk erect. Bring the abdomen in. Throw the chest out. Tako long steps. Place the feet at right angles or as nearly so as you can. Lift the chin. Throw back the head. Raise the eyes. Breathe deep­ly. And don't mince.”

Cover the face of the card with a layer of soft wadding, then lay t ie embroidered silk over this, turn the edges to the back of card, notch them so that they may lie fiat, then fix with glue or seccotlne.

Cover the back with a piece of plain silk or sateen; a piece of very thick card or wood must next be cut, as shown, to form a support to the back; this should also be covered, ami must be firmly glued to the back. A piece of wood will be the best thing for the foundation upon which to place the

For the W om an w ith a M ottled or D ingy S k in the F ollow ing I s W rit­

ten an d Should Be Observed.

How to Treat Gloves.This Is the proper way to treat a

glove: • When you spy a tiny hole mend it without delay, that It may not ihcrease In size. Mend it on the Inside of the glove with fins cotton of the same oolor ns the kid. Do not use silk, for it soon wears out.

Never break off your cotton, but cut it, so as not to draw your stitches too tightly and make the seam hard and un­even. When sewing n split In n finger seam Insert n finger Into the glove and draw the edges together so that they meet and that is all; a ridge would not only be uncomfortable, but would look unsightly.

When n glovs is too small and silts it Is worse than useless to sew up the rent; It must be patched. The patch must be of kid of the same color.

Fresh air Is a superlative tonic In the promotion of beauty. Many a woman's mottled complexion Is due to the vitiated atmosphere she breathes. For one reason or another, she gets very little of the fresh air tonic. She comes to notice a slight dlnglness creeping over the natural clearness of her face. Forthwith she wonders what she is using that is spoiling the texture of the skin. She tried another kind of soap aud changes the brand of her cold cream. But her complexion keeps right on gathering a shadowy hue.

True, she Isn’t feeling very well— Just a little languid. She tells herself "that tired feeling” means that all the cure she needs is "rest.” She doesn't mistrust that this lassitude Is a physi­cal hint that she needs fresh air tonic In order to keep the muscles elastic, to invigorate circulation of the blood, to stimulate the skin. Wh«n any of these physical conditions begins to lose tone the complexion pays the penalty.

When the dlnglness Is ever so slight, the fresh air tonic should be taken without delay. A walk of a mile or two provides fresh air and exercise. The face should not be covered with a veil. A cool wind Is a first-rate stim ­ulant for the skin. The walk should take place every day and a longer dis­tance shou)d be covered, gradually.

The fresh air tonic may be taken In a hoated room with the windows open. The walk may be taken up and clown the room with a variation In swinging the arms and practicing high steps.

Moreover, the woman with a dingy or mottled complexion should sleep In a room In which there Is s circulation of fresh air.

A man usually estimates his value ac­cording to the wale of his own making.— Philadelphia Bulletin.

No Quarter.The evils which always follow after n-

digestion, biliousness or constipation, will ipve no quarter. Better fight them to a finish with Dr. Caldwell’s (laxative) Syrup Pepsin. It is a weapon against these dangerous diseases, which will give

quick relief ami permanent cure. Bold by all druggists at 50c and $1.00. Money back if it fads.

Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics showing that 5,174,718 depositors in savings banks of six eastern states are directly interested In the Joint owner­ship of $442,354,086 of steam railroad securities, that insurance companies doing business In Massachusetts hold $845,889,038 of steam railroad stocks and bondB, and 74 educational institu ­tions depend on $47,468,327 Invested In sim ilar securities for a portion of their Income. Other fiduciary Institu­tions own enough railroad securities to bring such holdings up to more than a billion and a half dollars, about one- sixth of the entire capital Invested in railroad property. These investments represent the savings of the masses, there being twenty million holders of life insurt nee policies In the country, as many more of fire Insurance poli­cies, and an even greater number of depositors <n banking and tru st Insti­tutions, where Investments are large­ly in railroad securities.

NEVER thought to die and leave her penniless. I never

thought—"And here a sharp, sudd&n spasm

seemed to take away the voice of the dying man; he gasped for breath, and his wandering fingers seemed to grope blindly In the dark, while little Juliet burst out Into sobs as she clung wild­ly round his neck.

Mr. and Mrs. Montague Aylesford looked blankly a t one another. Mr. Aylesford was much agitated. Mrs. Aylesford turned pale with amazement.

" I t can 't be—” hesitated Mrs. Ayles­ford, In a low tone, with an inquiring «levatton of her eyebrows.

" I t must be," nodded her husband. And Juliet Dallas, throwing herself wildly upon the corpse that a moment ago had been her living, loving father, cried out:

“Dead! Dead! Oh, bring him bac<t to life, Borne one! Don’t let them take him away from me!"

And then the poor child fainted.“My dear,” said Mr. Montague Ayles­

ford to his wife, “ I'm afraid this Is a bad business."

"My dear,” said Mrs. Montague Ayles­ford to her husband, “we have been under a mistake all along!"

And tney rang the bell for the hotel chambermaid to come and "look after” the forlorn young orphan. FOr Mrs. Aylesford, who had "dearest," and "darling" and "sweetest oned" poor Ju lie t for the last three days, under the Impression that she was an em­bryo heiress, had suddenly grown cold since Dlgby Dallas' dying Bpeech had produced so different a conviction In b ar mind.

"Do you think tha t wa ar* uudar any special obligation to take charge of her?” Mm. Ayleaford asked, oa the day of the fanerel, when poor Jo lie t aat in ber deep mommies weed* alone In the room In which her father had died.

Mr. Ayleaford looked dubious. He had Inst been examiuiug luC papers of the deceased.

“I am convinced, my dear,” he said, " th a t we have been kept systematically in the dark as to my Cousin Dlgby’s affairs. He allowed us—wickedly al­lowed us, as 1 may say—to suppose him a man of wealth, and here be has actually had the—the presumption, my dear, to go and die and leave a great girl on our hands! A girl to be fed. and clothed, and educated, and—and all sorts of things, Mrs. Aylesford!"

But In this account of the existing sta te of affairs Mr. Montague Ayles­ford entirely omitted to mention that he had hurried from a distant part of the country to his relative’s dying bedside without any summons. There he had volunteered of his own accord to take the pretty young orphan in charge, and there he had fawned on Capt. Dallas afi T the most obsequious manner, firmly believing In bis wealth. And now, after all, to be disappointed —It was a bitter cup to quaff!

“ It’s tbe most unheard of thing that ever transpired within my knowledge,” said Mrs. Aylesford. "But, of course, we can’t be held responsible, and It's my duty to tell tbe girl so a t once, and prevent any misunderstanding on the su b jec t”

She rang the bell and ordered the servant to tell Miss Dallas to attend her In the blue parlor.

Ju liet came—a fair, shrinking young creature, with soft, blue eyes, a rose- fair complexion, and features cast aft­e r tho pure Grecian type, straight, clean cut and aristocratic. Her dress of deep black was plain, yet became her like the robes of a princess, and a je t cross suspended round her alabas­ter throat upon a black velvet ribbon was all the ornament she woro.

"Juliet," said Mrs. Montague Ayles­ford, sourly.

The orphan glanced timidly up. She could not comprehend why Mrs. Ayles- ford's tone had so radically changed toward her during the last 24 hours.

“Yes, Mrs. Aylesford.”"Mr. Aylesford and 1 have been ta lk­

ing your sad case over. I t is nothing extraordinary—In fact, It occurs every day, and you may as well follow the •XAmple of others in a like predicament and decide a t once what you will do."

Juliet looked a little surprised."I thought,” she hesitated, “tha t i

was to live with you.”Mrs. Aylesford compressed ber Ups."Of course, you cannot expect to eat

the bread of idleness," she declared. "Mr. Aylesford and I are merely dis­tan t relations. That we have kindly Interested ourselves in you so far Is more than could have been expected. Don’t stare ao,” she added, with some irritation In her voice and manner. "la

there anything no very extraordinary In what I have bMn saying?"

"I think there Is,” Juliet said, in a sort of choked voice. “I th ink—”

She checked herself, but her eyes were brimming over w it htears, end her lip quivering.

"I do wish you woulda't make such a baby of yourself! ” said Mrs. Aylesford, sharply. "Look the m atter s tra igh t in the face a t once; you will have to do so, sooner or later. Mr. Aylesford finds by an examination of all the papers your deceased father has left"—Juliet shud­dered Involuntarily, as If some cruel hand had been laid on an exposed nerve —"that all the property you will Inherit amounts to only a hundred or two of dollars, and you will a t once be com­pelled to do something to earn an hon­est living. Mr. Aylesford and 1 certainly shall not support ypu. Capt. Dallas must have been Improvident and ex­travagant to the last degree not to—”

But Juliet's pallid face and upraised hand checked Mrs. Aylesford’s further speech.

"Hush!" the orphan cried, passionate­ly. "You shall not cast the shadow of one reproachful word upon my dear, dead father's memory! He was too noble and too good for one like you to comprehend his nature! He—”

But here she stopped, the breath flut­tering on her lips like a wounded bird.

"Upon my word!"M rs. Aylesford ejac­ulated, bristling up and turning scarlet. “I might have expected this imperti­nence, but I will not endure It from a penniless beggar like you! Go to your room at once, Ju liet Dallas, and remain there until I and Mr. Aylesford have bad time to talk over this very extraordinary and unlooked-for state of things."

And Juliet obeyed, weeping in solitude the bitterest tears that she, a tender fa­ther's spoiled darling, had ever known.

Not until the next day did Mr. and Mrs. Montague Aylesford deign to an­nounce their final decision in the m at­ter.

"There Is a lady here,” said the for­mer. sonorously clearing his throat, "who wants a well-bred and ladylike young person, not altogether without education, to take charge of her four little girls.- The wages—ahem! I mean the salary—will be, of course, small at first, but the position la exception­ally genteel, and, I think, my dear," with a sidelong glance at his wife, “that our young relative could scarcely do better than to accept It.” ,

But Juliet shook her head with quiet dignity.

"I do not think," she said, "tha t paps would have been willing for me to as­sume a menial place."

Mrs. Aylesford rolled up her small, blue eyes In holy horror, and elevated her hands to correspond.

“A menial place! Your papa! Well, I should like to know what some people expect! But you won't live upon Mr. Aylesford and myself—that 1 can prom­ise you!"

"I would die sooner than eat a mortal of your bread!” Juliet aaswered, de­fiantly.

"It s a great deal easier to ta lk about dying than i t is to die!” said Mr. Aylea­ford, acidly.- “And what, may I atk , do you propose to dor*

“I don't know.” Juliet said, growing pale as the u tter loneliness of her post-

j LiC r. flashed upon her. "Papa tele­graphed last week to my Uncle Rich­ard—”

"Exactly so!” interrupted Mr. Ayles­ford, with a countenance of Intense re­lief. “Your Uncle Richard, to be sure— the very person to take charge of you. Only I supposed he was off somewhere on the other side of the globe."

Juliet supposed so, too, especially as no answer had as yet arrived to the sum- mons of the dying man; but she said nothing, only stood with drooping head, clasped hands and lily-pale face.

At this very moment the door swung swiftly open, and a short, stout man, with a shining bald head and a bronzed face, strode. Into the room.

"Ha! my niece!” he said, abruptly. “And my Cousin Aylesford and her hus­band! So poor Dlgby has gone, eh? But I couldn't get here an hour sooner. I've traveled day and night—day and night!”

As he spoke the words he took Juliet unceremoniously In his arms and kissed her.

“1 know by experience, my dear,” he said, In a tone gentler than his brown face and brusque manner would lead one to anticipate, "what It is to be left an orphan; but In your case you hav* th e advantage of wealth to smooth the road of life. I was poor.”

"Eh?" cried Mr. Aylesford."Mr. Richard Dallas Is quite mis­

taken," said Mrs. Aylesford, tossing her head and smoothing down an invisible crease in her black silk dress. "O.usln Dlgby died without leaving—” ^

"He died leaving a fortune of a hun­dred thousand dollars to this girl," In­terrupted Mr. Dallas, "of which I hop- pen to be the trustee.”

Mr. and Mrs. Montague Aylesford ex­changed astounded glances. Could It be that they had so woefully m isinter­preted the last unfinished sentence of the dying man? Was Ju liet an heiress, after all? And had they, the wealth worshipers, defeated their own ends?

But it was in vain to retrace their footsteps now. Mr. Dallas, evidently put lu possession of the facts of the case by Ms niece, treated the worthy d u p le with til cohcealed contempt when uext they met, and took Ju lie t away with him within a week to complete fe r educa­tion In Europe.

And the Montague Aylesrorda had the satisfaction of knowing th a t they had made an exasperating mistake —N. Y. Weekly.

M’DONALD IN CHAIR.MADE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO

AFTER TURBULENT CONTEST.

New Executive Enjoys Unique Dis­tinction of H olding Four Publio

Offices ' a t One Time—W as Once a Miner.

Denver, Col.—Jesse McDonald, the new governor of troubled Colorado, who has just taken his seat after three months of turmoil In the Adama- Peabody contest, goes Into office un­derstanding something of the compli­cations of politics. For Gov. McDon­ald has himself been ousted from of­fice, and has also enjoyed the unique distinction of holding four public of­fices at one time.

Just after Gov. Peabody's resigna- tlbn was handed In, Mr. McDonald was, In effect, governor, lieutenant governor, state senator and mayor of Leadville. The shift has simplified his situation somewhat, but at the present time he actually holds two of­fices—governor of the state and mayor of the city In which he permanently resides.

These political shifts, typical of Colorado, are peculiarly interesting in Gov. McDonald's case. Two years ago he was elected to the state senate from his district. There was the inevitable contest, as the vote was close, and a democratic legislature decided against McDonald and unseated him for his opponent, Daniel Healey, democrat. McDonald protested, returned to Lead­ville—where he was elected mayor— and bided his time. He was placed on the republican state ticket as lieuten­an t governor last fall, and received a substantial majority, although the can­didate for governor was, on the face of the returns, defeated.

When the present general assembly met the McDonald contest case, hang­ing over from two years ago, was again brought up. Healey was un­seated, McDonald given his seat, and

until he was sworn In as lieutenant governor served as state senator. The senate seat is now vacant. He Is ad­ministering the municipal affairs of Leadville at long range, and doea not propose to resign the office, as his term expires next month.

The new governor of Colorado Is a common-sense, level-headed man of affairs. He was once a miner. Bom In Ashtabula. O., in 1855, he attended school there anil later In Pennsyl­vania. When he came west it vas at the age of 24. The carbonate excite­ment at leadville was at its height People were flocking to the camp from all over the globe, and there were stories of the fabulous fortunes in Senator Tabor's Matchless mine and others that gave Leadville its celeb­rity. McDonald g<?t an “outfit," went to the carbonate camp, and at once took up a number of locations.

McDonald's mining locations and his subsequent Investments were foitun- atq. He had talth in Leadville ns a mining camp, and also the mining camp of Robinson in a near-by coun­ty. He gradually became a man of Influence, and Is one of the most prom­inent figures In mining circles In Leadville, and but few large deals are made In that camp In which his name does not figure. His fortune Is said to be half a million.

Mr. McDonald has not sought an ac­tive political life. His business prom­inence, rather, has forced him Into It, and It was by request of the repub­licans of Leadville that he ran for the state senate two years ago, and twice for mayor of Leadville. He Is a mod­est man and he has a modest wife.

No other man could have been so fortunate to his party as tho-lieuten­an t governor In the crisis that faced the republican party, as, when It was found tha t ceitaln republicans would not support Mr. Peabody, the mention of Mr. McDonald's name was accepted as a favorable circumstance, for no objection whntever could be offered to him In his party or out of it. On condition that he became governor all opposition to the unseating of Alva Adams ceased In the party. Gov. Mc­Donald was chosen by his paKy for chief executive and as a peacemaker, and ho Is exceptionally well fitted for the office as well as the complimen­tary role assigned him. He Is a man of firm convictions, slow to make up his mind, but once fixed there can be no turning back; an able business men, free of enemies In his party, and owing allegiance to no man or faction, but a t liberty to heal all schisms, and to give the sta te an administration tha t will make no stir in history, but which will give entire satisfaction to th a o itlse a i.

HONOR BUND HYMN WRiTCR“ Fanny Crosby Day” Wldaly Observed

aa Tribute to Noted Bight* less Woman.

New York.—Sunday, March 26, was observed in many Christian churches throughout the country aa “Fanny Crosby day." in honor of the noted blind hymn writer whose songs have cheered and comforted the sorrowing for many years. On March 24, the aged poet was 85 years old, and It was thought fitting that those who love her hymns should pay her a tribute of af­fection on the Sunday nearest to her elghiy-flfth birthday.

Since she was six years old Fanny Crosby has been totally blind. Her own affliction has helped her to know

Among the best known of her hymns are "Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” "Res­cue the Perishing," "All the Way MySaviour Leads Me,...... Let the GoodAngels Come In,” "Savlour(,More Than Life to Me,” and “ 'Twill Not Be Long, Our Journey Here.”

Francis, Lyman Schuyler, Ella Dale, Charles Bruce, Victoria Stewart, Julia Sterling, Victoria Sterling, Carrie M. Wilson, Frank Gould. James Apple, Lizzie Ed­wards, Henrietta Blair and Arthur J. Langton.

Miss Crosby has written songs that were in their day popular. Among these are: "Hazel Dell," “Proud V»orld Good-by. I’m Going Home," and "The Honeysuckle Glen."

She has the distinction of being the first woman whose voice was ever publicly heard in the senate chamber In Washington. In the '50s she read a poem there.

Miss Crosby lives in Bridgeport, Conn. She is cheery and merry, and frequently addresses large audiences.

E T W. H. XOEBBL.

When Jerry Maude became engaged to Sylvia Cartwright he felt himself blessed above his deserts. In return he was willing to propitiate his good for­tune by an oblation, however heavy. The opportunity was afforded to him by his father-in-law elect A hint aa to tho disadvantages attaching to Idle bus- bands fell upon ready ears. Jerry In­vested a portion of his ample capital In the purchase of an old-established wine business of the spml-shlpping, semi-family order. Fortunately for tho welfare of the concern It possessed a ca­pable manager. It was, perhaps, equally fortunate, in view of Jerry’s unortho­dox views upon the furtherance of busi­ness, that the new proprietor's visits to the office never occurred, at less than weekly intervals.

It was ln March, a month before the date of their wedding, that Sylvia paid a first visit to hts office.

As the dazzled clerk showed her into his private office Jerry's eyes lit up In honest admiration.

"So, Jerry, this Is your den—your spider's web,” she cried. "But how dingy. Poor boy!”

“ It was dingy,” admitted Jerry, thirty seconds later. “But now. if this is a spider's web, good heavens! I can see no trace of It—only you."

H seated her In a leather-covered chair. “And does it repay you, Jerry?” she asked. "This gloomy place, these dull hours here?”

"If you mean ln a financial sense," he replied, “I am afraid not.” He drew out a bottle of champagne from a recess and Invited her to join him.

Sylvia declined and passed to a table which held three or four filled glasses. "This shall be my morning’s refresh­m ent ln defiance of your office. 1 drink to you in water."

She raised the glass to her lips. Jerrv looked up from the bottle he held and shouted.

It was too late; she had drunk. Sh3 spluttered suppressedly. Jerry sprang hastily to her side.

"Sylvia," he cried, aghast, "it was a sample of gin."

She was choking gently; he led her to a chair and she asked for water.

He was gone In an instant. A few moments later he was back, a glass of water in his hand. He came to an ab­rupt halt before her. Her eyes were glowing; she was la u g h in g shortly, b u t It was not Sylvia's laugh.

Her eyes turned slowly upon him. It may have been the sight of his horroi- iftruck countenance that added to heremotion. A movement sounded from theouter office. The danger of intrusion brought him to his senses. He hastened through the door and at his call the white-whiskered nauag* r ante to his side. 8he was aleept ‘'g. 1 e told him all.

I t was a t tha t mome ’t a voi 'e <ou nded behind him. A man, open -ne tthed, stood within the doorway. Almost ere the ejaculation had passed hla lips Jerry and Soames were upon him. Jerry still had hold of his arm and hustled him out.

Soames flung toward his employer a look of genuine compassion.

' l understand, Blr. When the lady. . l.aon> *Koi cho’vV,' o l-no till *4 MM IM t l**l lull ...... - - --

—In fact, she must remain in iguoiaiivo of what has happened."

Sylvia's eyelids fluttered. Her eyes opened; she sat erect. Soames departed in haste. Jerry turned to pore over tho pages of an open ledger that lay at hand.

“What happened, Jerry? I remem­ber drinking some horrible stuff, and then I must have fallen asleep.”

"Were you asleep, darling? And Inever knew it. You see. Soames came Injust then and we were absorbed in dry business details.”

It was In the September following their marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Maude were seated in the second row of chairs upon the crowded Eastbourne parade. Upon the corresponding front seats were two men. One was scanning the visiters' Ust; he turned to his neighbor.

"Maude,” he remarked; "Mr. and Mrs. Geoffery Maude. Curiously enough, it was in connection with this fellow that I underwent one of the most extraordi­nary experiences of my lifetime. Ho played about with a wine business for awhile. One day I went there to get some cheap claret. I shall never forget it. In the first place, the outer office was deserted.

“So I went Into the private room. The scene there nearly stunned me. Mauds and his manager, jaws dropped, eye* starting from their heads, were staring at the figure of a girl unconscious in an armchair. She was a beautiful girl. They caught sight of me and bustled ma out. Maude gave up the business short­ly after that, and, mark this, Soames, a fellow who was without a penny, ha t it now. How do you explain that?"

"It is well for some husbands that w’lvcs have not the gift of looking back­ward,” mused his neighbor, cynically.

Jerry 's eyes in guilty confusion turned to seek those of his wife.

•The ICth of March," she cried. "My day—at your office. O Jerry!"

He told her all—of necessity. She lift­ed a burning face.

“And—did I look horrible?""If any other woman could look r.3

you did then she would never know an­other instant's sobriety.

So she forgave him—for the second time.

Most Accurate Frontier.As an Instance of the jealousy exist­

ing In the relations between Norway and Sweden, It may be noted that th* boundary line between the two coun­tries is the most minutely exact In Eu­rope.

la an unhappy moment • was Inspired to give Janka a camRELto r Christinas, aUce which tlm s h4 has made life a burden to his frisada by insisting upon taking tnelr picture* a t every available opportunity.

Last Sunday evening, In response fo his sister's Invitation to tea, he ap ­peared at the door and smilingly a n ­nounced; _

" I’ve brought my camera to taka a family group.”

The announcement was received without enthusiasm.

"But. Charlie,” expostulated his sis­ter, “you won’t have time. Th* Smiths are coming to spend the even­ing, and you know It takes you hours to arrange a group."

“Nonsense! Nonsense!" sputtered Jenks. "W hy—”

“And the last time you took our pictures there was only legs, uncle Charlie!" shrilled his small namesake.

“That was because the camera was too low,” explained Jenks. “ I’ve got­ten the thing down to perfection, now.It won't take five minutes.”

But when tea was over. It took con­siderably more than five minutes to se­lect a suitable background for the* picture. Then stools and chairs of vary­ing height must be placed so tha t the tall members of the family should not eclipse the short ones. At last, after half an hour had been spent in thla way, and the family had all been cor- raled Into focus, as Jenks supposed, he looked into the finder to discover th a t only one-half of his sister appeared in the group. He waved her over to the left.

“Lucky you discovered tha t,” said his brother-in-law, jocosely; “a family group wouldn’t be complete without my better quarter!”

His sister moved over."Now, Susie,” said Jenks to hl»

small niece, "light this match so I can see if you're in the picture. No, I thought not. Get ln front of your fa­ther. Now you cut off his head. Drop on your knees. Now I can only see your pompadour. No, that won’t do. You'll have to get a higher stool.”

Another stool having been procured, after a prolonged search, the same thing was repeated at the other end of the group, with small Charlie and his mother as dramatis personae.' Finally, after a box of matches had been consumed and a large assort­ment of stools and chairs had been submitted for Jenks' consideration, all four members of tho family were a r­ranged to his satisfaction.

“There! That ought to be a good picture,” he said, in a tone of self- congratulation. “Now, don't jump when 1 set off the flashlight. O. wait a minute, iou haven't left any room for me,"

“O. are you going to be ln it?” ex­claimed his sister in despair at this new complication.

"Why, of coats’ ” said Jenks. re­proachfully. "<Vhat's a family group good for without all he family?”

his. sister had to be lowered, his brother-in-law elevated, and Susie and Charlie must aeek ether stools. In or­der to make room for Jenks.

“The Smiths may come at any mo­ment now." his sister warned him.

"I don't care!" exclaimed Jenks.Iv-liij. J*!!! 1"" tiling Ul 11*1, V LUIGIpicture spoiled, sm iths or uu Smiths. Now I'll touch off the flash and then run to my place before it goes off. I'll have to be pretty quick, but I guess I can make it—now!”

A fizz, an explosion and a flash which discovered the family group, eyes shut, mouths open, wearing the horrified expression of a Russian mob a'jout to be fired on by Cossacks.

"All over," announced Jenks, rising from his allotted corner and going over to examine the camera. "O—O, wait a minute! Stay just as you are. We ll have to do it all over again. I forgot to open the shutter. Don’t move—now!"

The fizz, explosion and flash were repeated.

"That one was all right." said Jenks, "but 1 11 just take another to make' sure while you're all In position." .,

"I wish you'd hurry. Uncle Charlie,” said the children, sneezing and cough­ing amid the strangling fume* of the flashlight powder. “ We’re almoafc choked.”

“Well, we’ll open the windows for a minute," said Jenks.

When the group hitfl assembled for the third time the sound of fire en- gines was heard in the distance and small Charlie ran to the window ex­citedly.

"Somebody's sent in an alarm !" ho cried. “Gee-whiz, I hope they have. W on't It be fun to have the engines at our honse!"

They all hung out of the windows in suspense while the engines rushed down the street, and Jenks' sister breathed a sigh of relief when they- passed on to the next block.

"Now, then." Jenks began his for­mula once more.

"No. Charlie," Baid his sister, de­cidedly. as the front door bell rang. "There arc the Smiths now. and the rooms are as cold as a barn, with the! windows all open, and smoke is bo thick we can't breathe. I shall have to ask them to wait in tue hall until I can close the windows.”

“Well, for pure, unadulterated in­gratitude, commend vne to family groups!” exclaimed Jenks, as Susie and his sister went about with dustern, grumblingly removing the thick layers of white powder that had settled upon the furniture. "The next time yon want a picture taken—hold on! How’* th is?” Jenks paused In sudden eon* sternatlon as he looked at the camerm>

"W hat's the m atter now?"Susie.

In 1863 w ith her pareuts. Mr. and Mrs. W illiam K. H lne, she moved from Ohio to Peoria county, 111., and In the following year they settled a t C hatsw orth. . H er home was w ith tier paren ts u n til th e tim e of her m arriage, where the strongest ties of affection existed between her and all the mem­bers of the family

On June 10, 1874. she was un ited in the bonds of holy m atrim ony to Mr. John F. S tanford, and her beautiful home life ever made a deep impres­sion upon all who knew her. In her life the susta in ing grace of God was sweetly m anifested, and upon all, from her husband to the casual ac­quain tance, she left the gracious In- tiuence of a Godly life.

She became identified w ith tlie Presbyterian church a t C hatsw orth in 1888, and in 1801 her membership was transferred to the Congregational church a t Healey, and she rem ained a consistent and helpful member of the church until th e tim e of its reorgani­zation as a M ethodist church. At the tim e of th is change in organization she received her le tte r from the church and. together w ith Iter hus­band. became practically identified
