Mr. Cono ver’s term expired May 1st. 1908, and he having failed to be elected at the regular election in November, 1907, he was declared out of office May 1st, 1808. ’Squire Conover, more familiar ly known as “Chunky” Conover, has held sway through thick (Chunky Bill)and thin (Little Joe) for nearly half a century, and when the fact be came known that “the small court had ceased to be” the good people got busy and notified the jovial chair man of the township committee, who at once corralled the legally constitu ted authorities of the township, who immediately exercised the full prerog ative of their oflice by appointing “Chunky Conover” until the next general election. Now that peace and quiet has been restored the citizeus of the borough and the general puolic desire to thank the township commit tee for their prompt aud efficient ac tion and are glad to note that ’Squire Couover has been legally installed with ‘'Little Joe on the side,” as county officer. _ XL Fifty Years Wedded Mr. Jacob Stults, one of the editors of the Hightstowu Gazette, and bis estimable wife passed the fiftieth mile-stone of their wedded life at the Morrison homestead, Hightstown.

Arrangements were made after the sale with Abraham White, the pres ent occupant, to retain possession providing olaims against the property are settled. If this is not done, it is the intention of the new owners to start a bungalow colony, using the house as a casino.

AN OLD NEWS PAPER PLANT Tbe Hightstown Gazette hae been removed to Mercer street. In speak ing of tbe chaDge the Gazette save: The Village Record first saw tbe light in 1849. Two young men came here from Trenton early in April of that year—James 8. Yard and Jacob Stults. The former was a practical printer 23 year6 old. The firm held together tor five months, when Mr. Yard sold his interest to Edward C. Taylor. This combination was brok en two years later, when Mr. Taylor became sole owner of the plant. A few months later he sold the estab lishment to Dr. B. H. Peterson, who was still living in Washington a few years ago, to which place he removed when he gave up the newspaper busi ness after a few months’ experience.] That was the year when the Know Nothings came into existence and “swept the deck” in that fall through out New Jersey and other States. The Record supported the new party, which went to pieces early in the fol lowing year. Growing tired of hie new venture, he turned it over to Mr. Taylor, who took charge of the con cern and sold it in 1853 to Mr. Yard, who had returned to Hightstown. Between that time and 1855, Mr. Tay lor conducted the Ocean Emblem, a paper printed at Toms River. In the fall of 1854, James 8. Yard purchased the Monmouth Democrat, and sold the Record to Morgan F. Mount, who subsequently sold a halfl interest to Mr. Stults. The latter a year or two later became sole owner and continued the business until 1870, when a half interest was sold to the late Rev. Thomas B. Applegef, and two years later tbe other half. Then Mr. Stults went to Dong Branch and purchased the Weekly News, and con tinued there until 1887, when he sold the establishment, together with the building, to the widow of Frauk Chanfrau. a famous actor of his time. The Record’s name was changed to Gazette when it was consolidated with the Excelsior, an opposition paper which had been in existence for some five or six years- The little sheet that was issued in 1849 was needed, and it fulfilled its mission; but the need for a live newspaper in Hightstown was never more keenly felt than it is*, to day. The town has come to the tutn of the road, and like many other en terprising inland settlements it de pends largely upon its local paper to aid in the work of devising measures calculated to lift the borough to a higher level and to assist in efforts to inaugurate improvements which every sane, liberal minded man knows we must have if we would “get on in tile world.” The motto, is now or if it is not, it must be, “off with the old and on with the new,” In 1904 the Gazette absorbed the printing plant of the County Record, an opposition paper, and on January 14, 1908, the Gazet te establishment was purchased by L. D. Tillyer, and he is now the soleowuer. FREEHOLD. Edward and Lincoln Sampson are visiting their mother on Center street. Mr. Richard Forman has purchased a Maxv ell runabout.

Copyrighted, 'HOS, by Associated Literary Press. »3 O She tud always been distressingly capable and competent. “I don't believe Beatrice ever had a headache or a nervous spell like you girls have,” Henry Dalton had remark ed one day to his two sister^ absorbed by benboua and new novels and wrap ped la Indifference and silk negligees. And the tone In which, he spoke was not entirely complimentary. In fact, adtetinct .note of personal Injury rang through it, lor Uovf cau a man assume aaattitude of’ protective chivalry to ward a, girl entirely capable of doing fotnfeefself? Beatrice never dropped her fan or her handkerchief, nor came into the drawing room with her glove unbut toned, nor gave opportunity for the lit tle services which other women seein ed to have- demanded of Henry Dalton Since he bad risen to the dignity of kntekerbochers. let withal Beatrice Craig was noth ing-if not feminine. She wore the softest and most. clinging of fabrics. Ahetphtyed golf, but did not court bare arma.and.tan. She wore tailored suits, bat she softened- them with delicious froufrou bows of lace at her throat. She was rutliy and fluffy, but she never tore her ruffles and then asked for a pin to make repairs. And. if. all these .things she was be fore her tether's failure and death- she was doubly inaccessible, and impregna ble after .reverses overtook her. Be fore that ahe bad simply fenced with DAlton. Now she donned an armor that seemed well nigh invulnerable, r Directlyj the estate was settled up and the-smallness of their inheritance was -mode known to her Beatrice Craig had turned breadwinner, investing the pitiful little heritage in a smart shop where layettes of the most superlative fineness and beauty were sold. In. the front room, with its exquisite fittings and scented presses, she exhib ited wares selected to suit the matrons among whom she-had grown from girl hood to womanhood. In the rear room atwt-.gathered *Utw«(fc was done under her direct su WWrieion. Hen delighted clientele said that her success was -founded on this personal oversight. Her doctor said that nerv ous prostration would Inevitably result from her persistent close confinement to business. Her mother wept in sheer loneliness at first and later drifted from their ..tiny apartment back Into the old bridge playing, -novel reading circle of gray haired friends. And what- Henry Dalton said is not for repetition here, for, having no nieces otunephews, how could be offer a de cent excuse for haunting a layette shop? And only at her shop was Bea trice to be found—aave the cruelly few heats when outraged nature demanded teat and refreshment. ana now ujaay, wiiu neury nniiuu thrust Into the dim background of the Ute when her mother made all things "lovely for her well shod feet to walk •pun, she wee standing before her eheval mirror preparing for a return— Just a brief return glimpse—to the old Mfe. if Her inether had wept to some pur pose- The doctor had said certain Sharp things that were more effective 'than maternal tears, and so Beatrice hod accepted the Da Haven Smiths’ ‘vwsna Invitation to spend the week end i ffTd' r'*’**’fP~ a few days more at their ’^odge In the Catskills. -Beatrice surveyed with critical eye her smartly tailored traveling suit and then cast a smiling glance at the suit cem» where rested a delightful matinee, ■preduct of her own workroom. It metUd. ha -good'tahille abed mornings and-drink her chocolate In a love of a matinee like that. And she should ■ta—d s ■couple of new books and wear Che White crepe de -chine, newly made «e«r fer-the «ip, to dinner.

It was good—just to do nothing. And when the call for luncheon came she felt hungry—and smiled. The doc tor had said a change was all she need ■ed, and here she was hungry already for the first time In weeks. The obsequious darky in charge of her table gave her the perfection of service, with one eye perhaps on the beautiful pigskin hand bag that rested against the window. That bag bad been one of Dalton’s gifts, and at that very moment the giver himself was sitting at a table behind Beatrice, watching her every move with hungry ayes. He knew that she was going to the Da Haven Smith lodge. Mrs. Smith had boldly held this out as a bait in his Invitation, bnt somehow he felt that the psychological moment for making his presence known had not yet ar rived. He noted sometimes a new droop In her shoulders. Occasionally, too, she leaned her head on her hand between courses. This was the reac tion which the doctor had predicted, but Henry Dalton did not know this. He -thought only that she was slowly but surely killing herself by reason of her pride, and he must stand Idly, dumbly by simply because he waB so disgustingly rich that she would not listen. And upon these bitter thoughts rush ed the psychological moment Miss Beatrice Craig, the Independent and competent, opened her hand bug, the darky keenly observant, and sllp 1 ped her hand Into the large pocket. Her finger tips touched naught but pol ished leather. She tried the small pock et and drew forth some cards. She sat up very straight and (lipped Into her change purse to find a dime, a quarter and an old German coin, souvenir of Henry Dalton’s student days In Ber lin. Her face turned scarlet, then white. A horrible nervous tremor swept over her. Frantically she turned everything Out of the bag to find almost anything a businesslike yet distinctly feminine person might own except money. Like a flash she remembered her mother’s request. She hod kept it all, every penny of the flatly folded bills. “Take what you think will last you until I come back.” Fateful words! Beatrice sent for the dining car con ductor and explained the situation. He was polite, but behind the mask of courtesy she read amusement, or was It distrust? She became haughty. “My host will meet me at the depot. Until then—well, here are my rings or my watch”— The darkles had gathered at the ta ble opposite Henry Dalton with heads together, lips parted In ironical smiles. He summoned his waiter sharply. “Anything happened to the lady?” “Seems like she ain’t got the price of her lunch.” Just at the instant Henry Dalton rose precipitately^ Beatrice came down the aisle, her head high, but her face ghastly. It was not the attitude of the conductor nor the grinning darkies, but a sudden faintness, a realization that for once her business ability, her su preme tact, her resourcefulness, had failed her. She did not read this as physical exhaustion. Her one grim thought was that she had lost her grip on herself. And then came Henry Dalton with a hand outstretched and the love of her shining in his eyes. "Beatrice, I am the most fortunate of men.” “Oh, Henry,” she said, with a queer break in her clear voice, “will you please”— Henry Dalton carried her back to tbe stateroom In the parlor car. Henry Dalton took firm possession of her luggage and Arm control of the situa tion. Henry Dalton all but lifted her into the De Hnven Smith wagonetto when they left the train. And Henry Dalton read the telegram, for which he paid, though it was sent C. O. D. to Beatrice Craig. "Forgot to put money back in purse. What shall I do with it?” “Buy flowers for yourself—every body,” wired Henry Dalton to the first amazed and then understanding mother of Beatrice. “I am taking care of Beatrice and always shall.” And that was why the smartest lay ette shop In all New York passed to a new owner and love came Into its own. Anta and tha Weather. “When you go out on a cloudy mom lng and find the ants busily engaged In clearing out their nests and dragging the sand and bits of earth to the sur face, you may be sure that, no matter how cloudy It Is, there will be no rain that day, and the probabilities are for several days of good weather,” says a gardener. “On the .other hand. If you see the ants about the middle of a spring or summer afternoon hurrying back to the nest and a sentinel out trotting round In every direction looking up stragglers and urging them to go home as soon as they can get there you may figure on a rain that afternoon or night. When the last of the wander ers Is found the picket hurries in, and the nest Is securely sealed from the Inside to keep out the water. It is very seldom that ants are taken by surprise by the approach of a shower, but once in awhile when belated or too far away to get home In time they mount a shrub and ensconce them selves under the thickest, broadest leaf they can find, and there they stay and bold on until the rain Is over. When an ants' nest Is washed out and the anta drown an examination will always show that the disaster was due not so much to lack of preparation as to acci dent, a stream from an unexpected di rection flowing down between two bricks or a downpour that caused a Call or the washing away of the bank In which the nest was placed." k I The Real Prince ...By... MARTHA COBB SANFORD. Copyrighted. 1908, by Associated Literary Press. o-■ .=o How Katherine Searle came to be Jack Carrington’s ward belongs to the early chapters of a long story. It dates back, in fact, fifteen years, when Kath arine was a three-year-old baby and Carrington a young man of twenty. But at the beginning of the present Chapter, after having been "finished oft" at a very proper boarding school, Katherine had Just returned from a winter In Europe with Carrington’s married sister. And Carrington as he sat In the twi light on the luxuriously appointed porch of his out of town house was ex pectantly awaiting a promised after dinner talk with her. In accordance with a long and care fully formulated plan he felt that the time had now come for him to take Katherine seriously in hand and to prepare her for the prominent part she was sure to play in a world of admir ing but, alas, Inconstant men. Katherine, radiant In a fluffy glory of some soft, delicate stuff beyond man’s comprehension, at length tripped out through the casement door and perched herself affectionately on the arm of her guardian's easy chair. He took her little white hand In his and patted It gently ns he would a child’s. “I suppose you haven’t begun Jo think about marriage yet, little girl?” he asked by way of tactful beginning. “Begun to think about it?” echoed Katherine. “Why, I’ve always thought about It—always and always." Carrington looked up in amazement. “H’m,” he mused. “I haven’t begun a moment too soon, It seems.” Then aloud he added: “So you’ve always thought about marriage, my dear? Well, well! And what have you thought about It?” Katherine threw her arms about ms neck and gave him nn energetic hug. Then she placed a cushion at his feet and settled herself comfortably. "I’ll tell you.” she began confidential ly. “I’ve always adored fairy stories, and of course there’s a glorious young prince in every fairy story, you know. Well, it was always fun when I was a little girl t0 Imagine myself the beau tiful princess whom the prince was looking for—and now I’m grown up, guardy, dear, it’s just as much fun,” she finished naively. Carrington laughed heartily. He was greatly relieved. "Imaginary princes are all very harmless and proper, little Kit,” he commented Indulgently, “but pretty soon you’ll begin to think about real everyday men.” “Pretty soon?” she queried teasingly. “Dear me!” exclaimed Carrington, w’lth an unconcern he was far from feeling. “You’ve not thought about real men already?” "You'd call Harvey Dunton a real man, wouldn’t you?” Katherine asked, looking at him roguishly. Carrington’s Jesting mood passed In a flash. He shut his teeth with sud den vexation. “Where did you meet Harvey Dun ton?” he Inquired searchlngly. "On the steamer coming back,” an swered Katherine. “Your sister Intro duced him. He’s really very devoted to me. He’s coming around later this evening. He sings, you know, and I’ve promised to play his accompani ments. Don’t you like him, guardy? You don’t look as though you do.” "Oh, Dunton’s all right,” he answer ed good naturedly, suddenly alive to the fact that he must play his hand cautiously. “You evidently like him, little girl?” he parried. "I don't know really, guardy. But he likes me. That’s as far as we’ve got,” was Katherine’s ingenuous reply. “I’m not taking him very seriously because, you see, somehow he Isn’t exactly like i the prince I’ve been expecting.” “I should hope not,” muttered Car rington. "wnat oia you say/" "I said he’s coming across the lawn bow,’’ evaded Carrington. “I’ll stay out here and listen to the music If you don’t mind, Kit.” “Just as you like, guardy, dear,” laughed Kitty. “I’ll come out again after he’s gone and tell you how we got on.” “Well?” asked Carrington an hour or so later as Katherine appeared sud denly in the doorway. She did not answer, but stood as if spellbound. This was a bad sign—a very bad sign, as Carrington Interpret ed It “Well?” he ventured again, this time a trifle peremptorily. “Guardy,” exclaimed Katherine, her rapt expression breaking into the mer riest of smiles, “I’d forgotten you were out here.” “That’s the way It seemed to me,” re turned Carrington dryly. “Dunton has a very alluring voice, hasn’t he? Come over here, you mischievous kitten, and confess, as you promised.” Katherine came slowly. "I’ll tell you, guardy,” she began hesitatingly, perching herself, as usuul, on the arm of his chair—“that Is, If I can. I hardly know myself how I feel. You see, when Mr. Dunton Isn’t sing ing I don’t like him any better than I do lots of other men, not nearly as well as some, but”— "Lots of other men, did I under stand you to say?” Interrupted Carring tan. “Oh, well, three or four, guardy! What do a half dozen, more or less, matter?” “There’s safety In numbers, to be safe,” replied Carrington tritely. "Bat lot’s get back to Dunton. You Were golhg to teTI me how you Teel about him.” Immediately Katherine dropped her l frivolous mood and became thoughtful, t “When he’s talking, guardy, he might Just as well be any man, as I told you. but when he sings, well”— “Well?” "I almost feel that my prince has come,” breathed Katherine ecstatically. “H’m! Very romantic,” was Carring ton’s chilling comment. "When will you see him again?” “Not for a week. lie was to go up to town on Important business,” sighed Katherine. “Well, off to bed wl“t you now, my child,” ordered the tern guardian, “and may some good l iry tell on how to know the real prince when he comes.” A week later to a night Carrington again sat listening to Ihmton’s full magnetic voice as, with seductive ease, It glided through one love sing after another to Katherine’s sympathetic ac companiment. Suddenly there came a pause in the singing-a long pause. Carrington waited for the sound of talking, but the silence was unbroken. Without stopping to weigh the jus tice of motive of consequences, he Jumped up determinedly and made a dramatic entree Into the music room. Duuton, startled, straightened him self stiffly. He had been leaning over Katherine, looking Into her eyes with passionate pleading. “This business must stop right here,” commanded Carrington, looking Dun ton squarely in the eye. “I do not understand you, Ur. Car rington,” replied Duuton haughtily. "If you have been eavesdropping you could have hoard nothing, for nothing has been said.” "No; that’s Just the trouble,” retort ed Carrington hotly. "Nothing has been said. Miss Searle Is my ward, as you know, and it is my duty to pro tect her from such sorcerers as you. I happen to know that, like the carefully guarded ladies in the fairy tales, she is waiting for her prince to come”— here Carrington smiled down upon Katherine gently and placed his arm about her—“a real prince, Mr. Dun ton. They wear many disguises, you' know, and the lady’s protector has to be on the alert.” uunton turned asny wmte. "I trust that she may find her—real prince," he answered scornfully ■%nd walked angrily from the room. When the sound of his footsteps had died away Katherine flung both her warm white arms around Carrington’s neck. Her eyes were full of shining tears, but her lips were smiling. “Guardy,” she said softly, "I have found my prince!” “Katherine, you don’t mean”— began Carrington joyfully. “Yes—Jack—I do.” “And bo,” said Jack lovingly, after he had kissed her until she protested, “this Is the end of the fairy story?” “Oh, no!” laughed Katherine softly. “They lived happily ever after, you know.” Exercise or Die. Every man and woman must do some muscular work or take equivalent ex ercise, else they will die long before their natural time. And if one’s voca tion involves the use of only one set of muscles work must be found for the other muscles, elso the individual be comes disproportionate In form and eventually a prey to disease. A hodcarrler, who is required to use nearly all his muscles, exerting him self close to the limit of his strength for many hours daily, never gives any thought to artificial exercise, for he has no need of any. But the profes sional man, the clerk, the typist and the saleswoman—all these find little real use for the muscles in their daily employment, and they require to take up some system of physical exercise to maintain normal health. Then there are factory operatives and the toilers in various trades, whose work brings Into play certain sets of muscles, while others are out of use. These require exercise adapted to giving employment to the neglected muscles. There is also a class of wealthy people who do no regular work of any kind, who re quire to follow some strength giving sport in lieu of work. At the opposite extreme is a class of athletes who make a business of artificial exercise and build themselves up into moun t: i.is of muscle.

A Real Fire Engine. lu all the varied list of curious causes of fires perhaps the most absurd was the source of a conflagration that oc curred in Worcestershire, England, in l'J02. The Worcester Insurance com pany decided to change its Are engine from a horse drawn vehicle to one op erated by a motor. The work was not quite completed tvhen the company re ceived warning of n lire which had broken out on a farm at nearby Kemp sey village. However, the engiue was in sufficient running order to be sent on forthwith under the action of the newly installed motor. Unhappily the engine’s funnel had not been protected by a spark pro tector. As a result the trail of the snorting mechanism was embellished with a gorgeous train of sparks. There in lay the cause of trouble. In a lane the Are engine met a wagon loaded with straw, which it promptly set on fire. Unheeding, it hurried on its way and in its course present!? ignited some stacks which bordered on the road. It still pushed on relentlessly, however, and came to a standstill only when the water tube of the motot burst.

(eMr .i Grant’s Joke. Eliot M. Miller, a civil engineer of New Orleans, tells how General U. S. Grant made his father, Chaplain Mil ler, swear: It was one of the chaplain’s duties to receive and distribute the mail to Gen eral Grant’s staff. Whenever the mail was late he was greatly annoyed by questions as to the cause of the delay, time of probable arrival, etc. On one occasion, when the post was unusually late, the chaplain for fear of losing his temper attached the following notice to the door of his tent: “The chaplain does not know when the mail will arrive.” Shortly afterward General Grant, passing the chaplain’s quarters, noticed the sign. He paused before It a mo ment and then walked slowly on his way. Coming out of his tent a few moments later, Chaplain Miller was horrified to read: “The chaplain does not know when the mail will arrive, and he doesn’t give a d—n.”—Harper’S Weekly. Not All Gon*. A Confederate soldier whose com mand had run two days from Nash ville had thrown away his gun and ac couterments and, alone in the woods, gat down and commenced thinking, the first chance he had had to do such a thing. Bolling up his sleeves and look ing at his arms and general physique, i he thus gave vent to his feelings: “I am whipped, badly whipped and some what demoralized, but no one can say I am scattered.” A Sponge Garden. ‘‘My prosperity is due,” said the for eigner, “to a garden, a submarine garden, a garden of sgenges that I own in the Mediterranean.” He twid dled his fingers so that the diamond flashed on his brown hands. “Yes, I am very rich,” he said com placently. ‘‘I cut from my garden about $30,000 worth of sponges a year. I It is a large garden. Prom the Syrian coast it extends to—oh, an Incredible distance. You didn’t know we planted sponges like potatoes. Men own sponge beds in the Mediterranean as they own oyster beds in the Chesa peake bay. Only sponges are more lucrative than oysters. They fetch fEom $1 to $10 a pound. It takes a sponge after planting three years to mature. The best depth for a sponge garden is 150 feet.”—New York Press. HIM fPUTT Cl Divorce Suit Dismissed and the Plaintiff Goes to Prison. SHE IS SCORED FROM BENCH Judge Celts Her Action Wicked Design to 8upport Fates Claim by Forgery and Perjury—Grand Jury Takea Up the Matter. New York, May 27.—Mae C. Wood’* divorce action against Senator Thom as O. Platt was dismissed by Justice O'Gorman in the supreme court, and immediately afterward the Justice com mitted Mrs. Wood to the Tombs in de fault of $5,000 bail on a charge of per jury. Unable to secure bail, Mrs. Wood spent a night in the city prison. Her case was presented to the grand jury. This end to the case was no less sud den than sbnsational. While a favor able Outcome for Senator Platt had been looked for, it was not believed that JuBttce O’Gorman would render an immediate decision. He had been making up his mind as the trial pro gressed, however, and disposed of the case immediately upon the conclusion of the brief argument of counsel. With these stinging utterances from the bench Justice O’Gorman removed the stain of bigamy from Senator Platt and consigned the woman to prison: "I cannot credit the plaintiff’s evi dence as to the alleged marriage, and the testimony as it impresses the court is that this is a most wicked design to support a false and fictitious claim by forgery and perjury. “The court cannot believe from the evidence that there was ever a mar riage. On the merits of the case every issue has resulted in the court’s im pression that the plaintiff has com mitted willful perjury in this case. “Being impressed with the plaintiffs guilt of perjury, the court commits her to the city prison unless she furnishes bail In $5,000.” She has been released on bail in the amount named. Senator’s Son Testifies. The sensational turn to the celebrat ed case was largely due to the testi mony of Frank H. Platt, son of the de fendant, who said that A. H. Hummel first demanded $50,000 for certain let ters to Mrs. Wood, but eventually took $10,000. None of the letters contained any al lusions to marriage or an offer of mar riage, the defendant’s son swore. He said he had burned all but half a dozen of them. The packet comprised thirty or thirty-five letters and notes. “A great many of the letters were brief notes of invitation,” responded Mr. Platt to questions put to him by Mr. I.e Barbier. "What was the reason for paying $10,000 for those letters?” "My father was just about to be married for the second time, and we thought best to get rid of the woman.” Senator Flatt denied the alleged se cret marriage; denied that he had ever discussed, proposed or arranged for any marriage with the plaintiff, in fact, denied in its entirety the circum stantial story that Mae Wood swore to on the witness stand as to the events of Nov. 9, 1901, the date on which the alleged ceremony was per formed. With a deathly pallor in his face, his hand trembling, his voice echoing weak and hollow through the silent courtroom, the senator admitted that he might “foolishly” have addressed the woman by affectionate terms; ad mitted that some of the letters Intro duced in evidence had been penned by him; admitted that he had found her “agreeable” and had admired her; ad mitted the payment of $10,000 to se cure his letters to her. But straining his voice to its utmost capacity, he denounced as forgeries the certificate of marriage and the acknowledgment of the validity of the Wood woman's claim upon him. He branded as "ut terly false” her story of the meeting at the Fifth Avenue hotel, of the ensuing ceremony, of the proposal of marriage at the Oriental hotel, of the injunction of secrecy and of his holding her in his lap while he guided her hand in sign ing a picture of himself “For my little wife.” Might Have Been "Foolish. When asked if he had ever addressed her in endearing terms he first said “No” and then qualified his answer when testifying, “I may have done it foolishly sometimes.” He admitted that Mrs. Wood was in his apartments at the Fifth Avenue hotel on Nov. 9, 1901, the day she con tends a legal marriage ceremony was performed. The senator, however, said that he had merely asked her there to have dinner with him and that she had not remained, as she testified, for the next three days. He admitted, however, that they had a code of signals by rapping on the door between the room she occupied and the outer ones. Senator Platt made the positive an nouncement that he will not be a can iidate to succeed himself at the expi ration of his term a year from next March. “1 am winding up my public career,” ■aid the senator, with a deep note of sadness, “and I cannot tell you with what regret I shall retire to private Ufe. But it is decreed.” Town Treasurer a Suicide. Newtown, Conn., May 27.—Charles H.

I Put Artificial Nerve Force Into the Nerves and Brain to Give Strength and Power I HAVE CURED WHERE OTHERS FAILED A Letter Dropped in the Mail Box To-day Brings You This Wonderful Free Course of Treatment To-morrow. It is Truly Astonishing How Quickly and Surely This Remarkable Treatment Will Overcome Deep Seated Kidney, Liver, Stomach and Lung Trouble and Other Dangerous Diseases. Let Me Give You the Proof Free My experience in the treatment of ahronic diseases has been extensive and varied. I have been in general practice since 1880, a U. S. Pension Examiner for a number of years; Health Officer and member of Municipal Board of Health and President of County Medical Society. My treatment is not a patent medicine, nor a cure-all, but It is a treatment that will be prescribed especially for your par ticular case after a careful diagnosis of your condition. True, it will contain oxygen to kill dead ly germs that infest your blood and tis sues. It gives vitality to the red blood corpuscles, and fills you with vim and vigor, but it is death to bacteria and dis ease germs. My treatment will contain artificial nerve force, which is the nearest approach to natural living nerve force that ever has been discovered. It is truly marvel ous how this artificial nerve force takes the place of the natural nerve force, and gives you wonderful strength and power. My treatment will also contain special remedies carefullv prescribed to suit your particular condition. In my varied experience in treating chronic diseases I have had every oppor tunity to study various methods and kinds of treatment, and I can honestly and con scientiously tell you that I have never seen any treatment which I believe com pares with the treatment which I am in position to offer you. I know this is a strong statement* but I do not feel that it is one word stronger than the absolute truth. Mrs. N. W. Bowden, of Newborn, N. C.. says: “One year ago I was in a dying condition. Three doctors had given me up to die. I tried Force of Life, and to-day I am a well woman. I thank God for the day that treatment was sent to me. ^tr© is also a letter from Mrs. Hannah Peters, of Harrisburg, Pa. You may read it for yourself. Mrs. Peters says: “I thank our Heavenly Father for guiding me to you, and for the good health you have restored to me. I would have been In my grave had it not been for you. Your treatment has certainly cured me completely.” Then take the case of M. B. Hyatt. Here was a man who had gone from doctor to doctor; finally he decided to try Force of Life. United States Com missioner Ridgeway, who spent over three months Investigating Force of Life treat ment, says in regard to Mr. Hyatt that his case showed an instance of remark able recovery—“Raised, as it were, from the grave.” I do not ask you to send me one cent of money; merely write me giving your name and address, and stating the leading symptoms of your trouble, and your case will be diagnosed and I will prescribe for you a special course of treatment. I will send you this course of treatment without one cent of pay. There are absolutely no conditions attached to this offer. If your letter is received to-day, your treatment will be sent to-morrow. It will cost a great deal of money to give these free courses of treatment, hut I want to prove to the sick and afflicted in every city and locality in this country that at last I have a treatment .which is abso lutely sure and certain in its effects. No matter what your disehse; no matter what treatment you have tried, I want you to write to me. If I think that I cannot cure you, I will frankly tell yoa so, but do not hesitate because your case has been pronounced incurable. If you wish to try my free course of treatment, I advise you to sit down and write me to-day. Address your letter to G. EJ. COUTANT M. D., Suite Syracuse, N. Y.

f NO DIVORCE FOR THAW. He Is Insane, Says Judge, but Wifi Will Stand by Him. New York, May 27.—Coincident witl Justice Morschauser’s decision thal Harry K. Tbaw is still insane and thal it would be a menace to the commu nity to give him his liberty it became known that Thaw and his wife, Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw, have become recon ciled. So far have the peace negotia tions progressed that Evelyn has con sented to drop the action, which she began last March, to have their mar riage annulled on the ground of the prisoner’s insanity. The discontinuance of the annulment action has left young Mrs. Thaw in the position of being the wife of an Insane man, and as such it is under stood that she will immediately make application to have herself appointed a committee of his person and property. In support of her application she will have the decision of Justice Morschau ser that her husband is still insane and the testimony of the experts called at her husband’s trial that he was insane on the day he made his will, which wag the day of his marriage. It was learned that District Attorney Jerome will exhaust every resource at his command to prevent Thaw from being returned to any other institution than Matteawan. It Is said that he will not listen to the proposition of Thaw being sent to Poughkeepsie, as it is from that Institution that one of the experts who testified in Thaw’s behalf came. Mr. Graham announced that the pro posed appeal from Judge Morschau ser’s decision declaring Thaw still in sane would be based on the question of the validity ef Judge Dowling’s com mitment, sending Thaw to Mattea wan. An appeal cannot be argued before fall, so there appears to be no doubt whatever that Thaw will continue un der strict restraint during the summer at least Judge Morschauser’s opinion follow ing the long hearing held before him, at which Thaw sought his release on the ground that he is now sane, is ex tended, but in substance he finds that Thaw is still afflicted with a mental taint that it would be dangerous to the community to release him at the present time, that he must be held in the state's care until there is absolute ly no doubt of his complete recovery and that on the other ground of his contention in the application for a writ of habeas corpus, the commitment to Matteawan after his acquittal was con stitutional. NOT INSTRUCTED FOR BRYAN Nebraskan’s Followers Lose Their Fight at Harrisburg. Harrisburg, Pa., May ‘11.—After one of the hardest tights within the party in several years the Democratic state convention here decided not to instruct its delegates at large to the Denver convention for Bryan. It was a vic tory for the Democratic state organiza tion headed by Colonel James M. Guf fey of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania member of the national committee. Colonel Guffey maintained all along that he and his friends would control the convention, but their claims were always disputed by the leaders of the faction who were in favor of issuing binding instructions for William J. Bryan. Aside from the defeat of the Bryan ites, probably the most important hap pening of the convention was the drop ping by the Democratic organization of former State Treasurer William H. Berry of Delaware county. There were several names presented to the convention for delegates at large, among them Mr. Berry’s, and he received the smallest number of votes. The delegates at large chosen by the Guffey people are Colonel Guf fey, State Senators J. K. P. Hall of Elk county and A. G. DeWalt of Le high county and John G. Harman of Columbia county. NEW GUNNESS CLEW. Former Farmhand Says Woman Spoke of Buried "Favorite Horse.” Laporte. I ml., May 27.—As u result of a statement made to the authorities by Harold Chapman, a former em ployee of Mrs. Belle Gunness, men un der the direction of Sheriff Smutzer began searching for bodies in a hither to unsuspected place. Chapman says that he was Instructed one day by Mrs. Gunness to build a wire fence around a certain part of the back yard. Mrs. Gunness superintend ed the work and watched every move very carefully. At a certain point she wanted Chap man to make a crook in the fence. There was considerable argument over the matter. Chapman said, but finally he yielded and made the bend around the place where Mrs. Gunness said she had a “favorite horse" buried. In returning seven true bills against Kay Lamphere the Laporte county grand jury' also indicted Mrs. Belle Gunness for the murder of Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield. 8. D. No war rant was issued for Mrs. Gunness, as she was declared officially dead by the verdict of Coroner Mack, blit in order to vote a true bill against Lamphere as an accessory in the killing of Helge lein it was necessary to indict Mrs. Gunness as the principal. Keystone Prohibitionists Meet. Sayre, Pa., May 27.--Bauners, flags and bunting in festoons and streamers greeted the delegates to the state pro hibition convention when they arrived In this village. No pains have been spared by the business men of this place to make the little town of Sayre as attractive as possible, and many were the commants spoken by the delegates of the handsome decora tions. Angel’s Fad.

By ANNA MUNSON. _

Copyrighted. 1908, by Associated Literary Press. J Michael Angelo Moultrie was his name, and the diminutive of “Angel,” bestowed upon him by a doting moth er, was well applied. At least this was the opinion of other tenants in the big Burlington apartment house. Angel was eight years old, but he scarcely looked si*, with his long gold en curls and ethereal beauty. In his velvet suits he suggested some child of the Little Lord Fauntleroy period held over Into an age of Buster Browns. Mrs. Moultrie was possessed of a theory that as the child is named so the tastes incline, and she had set her heart upon his being a painter. Angel’s splotchy water colors were carefully preserved in a huge portfolio 1 against the day they should become tlie priceless mementos of a world famous painter’s youth. The only child of a widowed mother, Angel was about as badly spoiled as a boy could be and yet escape the reform school, but his seraphic countenance and his big, innocent eyes had enabled him to successfully lie out of complic ity in many juvenile crimes. Though the small boys of the block invariably explained that Angel was the instiga I tor of all the mischief, even their own fond mothers believed them to be in a conspiracy to destroy the fair fame of the model child. i Angel was quick to perceive his pop ularity, and with unerring instinct he found his way to those apartments where candy and cake were to be had. He seemed to know when callers with offerings of candy had visited the dif ferent young women, and his own calls were scheduled for the following day. His one exception was Nannie Dim mlck. Nannie seldom entertained call ers of the sort Angel most approved. No five pound boxes of sweets lay upon her table, and no great masses of flowers scented the room, yet Angel liked best of all to visit at the Dirn mlck apartment, for there was a cer tain tenderness in Nannie Dimmlck’s manner of which Angel approved most highly. She always looks like she s going to cry,” he had told his mother in an en deavor to discuss the girl’s peculiar charm. “She looks like she’s going to cry, but she doesn’t. She just holds you tight in her arms, and you feel glad and sorry all at once.” Clearly this blending of emotions ap pealed to Angel, for he was a regular visitor to the Dimmick apartment, and the girl found odd comfort in his prat tle. Nannie sorely needed comfort, for 1 the look of sadness in her eyes deepen ed as the weeks sped by with no word from Arthur Ryder. When he had come to her with his face aflame with happiness to tell her that he had found his chance at last, 'that the firm had decided to send him on a tour of the African and Asiatic countries to intro j duce their wares, it had seemed that fate, with kindly hands, had swept barriers from their path. I “It will be the making of me,” Ar thur had explained. “I start at Cape Town and work ip the east coast of Africa, then cross to Asia and so up to China. It will take about eighteen months, but if I make a success I shall be taken into the firm and we can be married, dear.” Mrs. Dimmick had refused to listen to an engagement. Time enough for that when Arthur came back, she had told them. An engagement of a year and a half would be worse than use less. It would deprive Nannie or many pleasures, anil no formal engagement was really necessary. If they both were of the same mind when Arthur should return there would be no oppo sition to a short engagement and an early marriage. And so Arthur had gone on his long journey with gladness in his heart, for Nannie had assured him that it did not need the formality of ring and an nouncement to ratify the promptings of her heart. First had come glowing letters from London and from Cape Town, letters that breathed of hope and love, then blank silence. For more than a year not a letter in the familiar handwrit ing had been received, though an in quiry at the office of the firm elicited the information that Mr. Ryder was not only alive, but exceedingly well, according to his reports to the home office. Mrs. Dimmlck had stormed at what she had termed his discourtesy, but Nannie would not listen to her moth er’s urgings that she go more into so ciety and forget the afTront. In spite of everything she still loved Ryder, though pride forbade her to con fess that fact even to herself, and she had no heart for the bustle and stir of social events. She preferred to stay at home and tell Angel the fairy stories in which he delighted. She was telling for the hundredth time one of his favorite tales when Mrs. Dimmlck came into the room with an envelope. “A cablegram for you.” she announced coldly. With trembling, hands Nannie opened the blue and white envelope and drew out the slip. Her expression changed as she read. “It Is from Arthur,” she said quietly. “He Is sailing from Japan.” “Much good may it do him,” was the unsympathetic reply. “This is a nice time to hear from him. It's more than a year since he stopped writing. I sup pose that you will let him givw yon some flimsy excuse and be as crazy about him as ever.” “It will take a very excellent excuse to explain his long silence,” said Nan nie dully. "Unless he hns some legiti mate reason to offer I shall refuse to see him.” j Gently she put Angel from her lap and slipped off to her room. Angel munched the last of the little cakes brought In for his refreshment and took his departure. Some weeks later Angel, playing about the lobby, observed a stranger enter and drew near to the telephone desk to learn Ills destination. Angel was Interested In young and good look ing strangers as a possible Increase In the number of purveyors of candy. His face took on an expression of surprise as the operator returned an answer that Miss Dimmick was not at home. “She was there a little while ago,” Insisted Angel, selfishly Interested in the stranger’s success. The operator flashed an angry glance at him, which caused Angel to subside, and the stranger left the lobby with an air of dejection far different from the springy step with which he had en tered. The next day he came again and ask ed that a note be sent upstairs. He waited for the answer and read It be j fore he turned to leave. Angel follow i ed him to the street. “I say,” he began, “are you the fel low Miss Nannie used to like?” “Why?” asked Ryder, parrying ques tion with question. “Because she’s sore on you because you didn’t write,” continued Angel. “Are you the fellow?” Ryder nodded, and after a moment’s hesitation Angel continued: “On the level, I didn’t mean to do nothing, but I took the letters for my collection.” “You are collecting letters?” asked Ryder, hardly comprehending the con fession. “Stamps,” explained the Angel. “They were bully stamps. I didn’t sup pose Miss Nannie would care. Ma gets lots of letters that she throws into the tire without reading, so I hooked the ones with the funny stamps. I guess that’s why she looks like she always wants to cry. I didn’t think of it that way until the other day. Then I wait ed until I saw whether you made it up.” Ryder’s face grew black as at last he realized what the boy was saying, but Angel’s eyes were again his salvation, and the scowl vanished. “Go up and tell Miss Dimmick what you have told me,” commanded Ryder. “Tell her that I wrote every steamer in spite of the fact I received no re plies. Tell her that I have been half frantic. Have you the letters that you can show?” “Burned ’em,” explained Angel— "that is, all except the stamps. They had no business leaving the mail out on the table where any one could swipe ’em. The elevator boy got most of the picture cards. I don’t collect post cards,” he added virtuously as though this were some extenuation of his fault. Ryder paced the sidewalk while An gel went to make his confession. It was a long quarter hour, but at last Angel, his face white and scared, ap peared on the steps. “I fixed it for you,” he announced, “but Mrs. Dimmick heard what I said, and I bet I get the licking of my life.” And he sat down on the steps while yet he could sit to ponder on the fatal fascinations of a fad. The Log Line. Officers on the coastwise and foreign steamship lines are not limited to their regular duties, but are expected to an swer the questions of curious passen gers besides. Sometimes, however, the passengers take the matter into their own hands and Instruct others more ignorant than themselves. The purser on a well known liner tells of a lady who had made a passage before and who in consequence felt a superior knowledge of maritime things. Several ladies were grouped in the stern, this one among them, when their attention was attracted by the log with its long line attached to the rail. “Why, what can that be?” inquired one of the party. “That?” said the knowing one. “Well, you see the vessel has to keep in com munication with the land, and in order to tell just how far they have got on the passage they keep one end tied to the dock, and by looking at the amount of line paid out they can tell just how far they are from the other side.” “Oh!” exclaimed the other after this lucid explanation. “Well, I have al ways heard of the log, but I never knew what one was ^before. Thank you so much!”—Youth’s Companion. Fourteen Mistakes. An English paper gives a list of j what It terms “the fourteen mistakes of life.” While there are undoubtedly other mistakes than those mentioned, the list Is a fairly comprehensive one. It is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong and I Judge people accordingly, to measure the enjoyment of others by our own, j to expect uniformity of opinion in this world, to look for judgment and ex perience in youth, to endeavor to mold j all dispositions alike, to look for per fectlon in our own actions, to worry, ourselves and others with what can not be remedied, not to yield in Imma terial matters, not to alleviate all that needs alleviation as far as lies In our power, not to make allowances for the Infirmities of others, to consider every thing Impossible that we cannot per form, to believe only what our finite minds can grasp, to expect to be able to understand everything. And the last and greatest mistake of j ail Is to live for time alone, when any moment msy launch us into eternity. News of f, A Week Paragraphic Photographs of the World’s Doings The event to which the entire Metho dist Episcopal world has been looking forward, the election of bishops by the current general conference in Balti more, began, several ballots being tak en. The first was without effect, and the result of the second was the elec tion of the Rev. W. F. Anderson, secre tary of the board of education, freed men's aid and Sunday schools, and the Rev. J. L. Nuelsen, a professor of the German college at Berea, O. Other bishops elected were the Rev. Drs. W. A. Quayle of Chicago, Charles W. Smith of Pittsburg, Wilson S. Lewis of Sioux City, la.; Edwin H. Hughes of Greencastle, Ind.; Robert McIntyre of Los Angeles, Cal., and Frank M. Bris tol of Washington. William H. Marsh, an aged inventor of Brooklyn, died from hydrophobia in his home. He had been told by the director of the Pasteur institute that he had come too late and that the Pas teur treatment would not avail. Calm ly the condemned man asked how many days he had to live, and on be ing told not more than four days were between him and death Marsh said he could meet his fate without fear, hav ing his affairs in good shape. He was infected by the lick of a pet dog whose wounds he bandaged. Assisting at the autopsy on Marsh, Dr. Ira Van Giesen wounded himself slightly and may have inoculated himself with rabies. More sectional bitterness than has been seen on the floor of the house in many years was rampant when the McCall bill providing for publicity for all contributions to presidential and congressional campaign funds, with the Crumpacker amendment, was pass ed. The vote was 160 to 125, every Democrat opposing it and every Re publican supporting it. The sectional ism displayed was over the Crumpack er amendment, which is the long stand ing proposition to secure information about the suppression of the negro vote in the south with a view of cutting down southern representation.

GOOD FORM for the WEEK-END HOSTESS is the season of the year M when the suburban and country hostess shows to best advan tage. Weary city folk are anx ious to escape town noises and grime, and week-end invitations are received with appreciation and favor. The sub urban hostess suddenly appears in the eyes- of her city friends as an angel of mercy. She should do all In her power to emphasize her popularity, and to do this, it is not necessary to entertain lavishly or to spend more money than the family exchequer will'permit. The out-of-town hostess should re member that the object of the average wefek-end party is rest. Therefore she will avoid fussiness and over-enter taining. She will give her guests the opportunities for rest and solitude which they will probably crave. Select your party with care, bring ing together only congenial guests, and issue your Invitations so far in advance that it will not be necessary to fill out the list with an odd girl.or man who may not be congenial. Do not invite more girls than men. Bal ance your guests carefully. Do not invite more guests than your house will accommodate comfortably. Better a quartet of guests, comfort ably disposed in separate bedrooms, than two or three girls crowded into one bedroom of medium size. “Your invitations should be written in the first person, and give some definite information to your guests. Tell them the day on which they are expected to arrive, Friday or Saturday, and name definitely the length of time they are expected to stay. Never say a “day or so." State clearly: “We will be pleased to have you with us from Fri day to Monday." Generally speaking, men leave town Saturday noon and expect to return by an early train Monday morning. Girls often remain over until noon or afternoon on Mon day. Enclose a time card or state tne best trains for your guests to take, and If you live some distance from the depot, and have no carriage or motor car with which to meet guests, tell them precisely what trolley car to take to reach your house, or give Information as to village hacks, etc. Suggest also In your Invitation any special amusements that you may be planning, such as a trip to the coun try club with tennis, golf or a dance. If one is planned. This gives your guests a hint as to what they will need in clothing. At the hour when your first guests are to arrive, be in readiness to re ceive them. If you have but one maid, so arrange your work that you will be dressed and on the porch or in the re ception hall when the guests come in. A flurried little housewife, suggesting domestic problems, is not a restful hostess to greet arriving guests. In each guest room have tha beds freshly made, plenty of towels, a sup ply of stationery, pen. Ink, etc., and if your garden supplies them, fresh flow ers in a dainty vase. Guests will go at once to their rooms to rid themselves of travel grime, and you can send up tea or a cooling drink, as you think best. Often Just a pitcher of ice water is placed in each room, and other drinks are served after the guests come down stairs. Plan amusements for your guests that will have a distinct outdoor and country flavor. If you belong to a country club, by all means arrange a Jaunt of some sort there. If your party rups from Friday till Monday and you have distinctly tired city folks to entertain, let your first evening be one of quiet on your own porch, and arrange for your dance or card party Saturday night. State distinctly the hour of your Sunday morning breakfast, and If you belong to the growing class of fami lies who have only a light breakfast, such as fruit, rolls and coffee, allow your guests the privilege of eating these in bed. Even with one maid, you can serve these room-to-room break fasts very easily. If your guests are non-church-going folk, do not urge the Sunday morning service upon them. They may prefer walking to the ves per service through country lanes. And if they are church-goers, be sure that you k»iow the hours of service and the location of the various churches. As a rule at house parties, however, on Sunday morning guests are left to their own devices, and the hostess plans nothing before the lunch hour. Do not make your guests feel that you are putting yourself out frantic ally to provide entertainment. Be restful and your guests will fall under your placid influence and reap real benefit from your week-end party. No matter how early your guests may leave Monday morning, you must be up to see them off, and your ser vant must provide a breakfast. Incidentally many suburban and country hostesses now entertain only over the week-end, and servants know that work must be arranged accord ingly. This leaves the suburbanite free to her own devices during the mid-week. Summer Styles for Small Men APPY that mother who possesses the ability, time and patience to w make summer raiment for her small sons. Nowhere does factory workmanship prove so fickle and short lived as in the wash-clothing made for boys. While there is a certain tailored air about ready-to-wear garments, the thrifty mother can afford to sacrifice this quantity to durability. Only the best grades of factory made clothing for children pay, for every mother knows the long loose stitchery on cheap goods. Another defect in ready to-wear clothing for small boys is care lessness in cutting, which often results in immediate fraying of seams. On the other hand the woman who makes suits for her sons can test the material by first washing a sample at home. She will also whip or bind her wide seams from sheer force of habit, and she will* adjust her machine stitch ing so that seams will "stay stitched.” In buying cheap ready-to-wear cloth ing, it is almost always necessary to sew on all the buttons and rework all buttonholes before permitting the child to don the garment, and It is just as easy to work them the first time and be done with it. Some mdthers think that embroidered insignia for shields, cuffs, sailor collars, etc., forms an important item in the finish of summer clothing for boys. If the home-sewer cannot do this sort of embroidery, she can buy anchors, shields, etc., all ready embroidered and deftly apply them upon the fabric of the suit. Another thing—an tne up-io-uaie pattern firms now issue admirably-con*, structed patterns for boys’ clothing, and if the home-sewer is not quite sure about the correct methods of finishing off seams, adjusting bands, belts, pock ets, etc., she can early rip up or examine a factory made suit, to learn the trick. With these few suggestions as to the economy of making the small boy’s clothing at home, let us turn our at tention to fabrics suitable for such rai ment. For the small boy just out of dresses, unquestionably white pique, repp or wash poplin makes the smartest of "best suits,’’ and these are i{i one of two styles, the Russian coat and baggy trousers or a full, deep-collared blouse with the same baggy knickerbockers. Only a few faddish mothers this sea son are making their boys wear the snug-fitting knee pants with a bare space betw’een the knee and the top of the sox. The snug-fitting pants do not wear as well as the baggy knicker bocker, so dear to the boyish heart. For older boys, white is little used, but there is a distinct demand for black and white check suits. Small young sters have these checked suits set off by collars and cuffs or shields of the most vivid hues, such as grass green, bright blue, scarlet, etc. Older boys wear deep white collars with bright ties, in the shades mentioned above. These checked patterns come in galatea cloth, imported and domestic, chambrtays, ginghams, madras and cheviot®. Galatea cloth is one of the most dependable fabrics for small boys cac&Jp taken in selecting colors. Some new Resigns show stripes of blue or scarlet on a tan ground, many blues that will surely wash with white or scarlet stripes or figures, and a splen did gtay and white combination that wlH 4pfy summer suns and summer sanfcwles. Thjf mother of two boys tells me that Ihe does not buy a variety of fabrijp for their summer clothing, but select! two full bolts of material which she Jfirst tests by washing a sample; then she makes these two materials up in various styles to secure variety. For Instance if she has selected a dark blue chamjfray with a white hair-line stripe, she nkakes some of the little suits quite plain with stitching for a finish. Some she. irlms with washable white braid and i dd8 a white collar or shield and again she makes up some with a trim ming of dark blue wash braid. In this way, she secures variety in a color whlc she knows will launder and wear well and also be becoming to her boys. Wi idsor and narrow string ties in vivid colorings come to match narrow enameled belts, and add picturesqueness to otherwise simple suits. For play the enan ©led belt is not a good invest ment, as it cracks under rough usage. A pi Lin suede belt or one of cloth to mate i the suit, interlined and stitched row upon row is far better. It will hold starch so well that it does not be come mussy in the first wearing. These wasli belts are finished with button and buttonhole or with a plain mother-of pearl or bone buckle which can be bouglxt at any notion or button counter. W-.— SUMMER GIRL TRINKETS —f MONG the "Fads and Follies" of I the summer girl of 1908, her J-—•. vivid neckwear certainly occu pies first place. Its ever increasing daintiness of color is alluring to the eye, but destructive to the purse. Tailored collars in white linen are em broidered with dots and figures of vldid colors, and with them must be worn a dainty tie, matching the collar exactly in coloring. In fact, these collars and ties are sold in sets, neither one being complete without the other. Young girls are wearing turnover or "Peter Pan" collars of soft linen in natural color, with buttonholed edges in green, blue, pink and brown. With these collars is worn a stiff bow of ribbon matching the embroidery In color. The ribbon is very wide—about six or eight inches and the bow must be a tailored one with short ends. Soft fluffy Jabots of net and lace are crowd ing each other on the counters, and are growing in favor. If odd belts are worn at all, they seem to be metallic in effect. The leather belt is dead and gone, the rib bon belt Is part of the trimming of the gown itself; but the separate belt Is made of gilt or silver. These belts come in gilt braid with large gold buckles or In cloth of geld ribbon with enameled buckles, set off by brilliant stones. Stiver braid Btudded with cut steel heads makes a smart looking belt If fastened with a silver buckle. For older women, these silver belts are seen studded with Jet and finished with a Jet buckle or one in-gun metal. VARIOUS WAYS OF SERVING ASPARAGUS iN^HE old-fashioned housewife knew but one method of serv ing asparagus, and that with cream sauce on toast. The up-to-date cook finds a variety of ways for using j this early vegetable. CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP.— Cut the tips off of two bunches of as paragus and set them aside to be cooked separately. Cook the remainder of the asparagus and one onion in a pint and a half of boiling water and salt. Let this boil until very soft, then mash and rub through a colander, be ing careful to get all the pulp. In a separate dish cook a tablespoon of but ter, a tablespoon of flour, and add to it a pint of boiling milk, stirring con stantly to keep it perfectly smooth. Add the strained asparagus water, salt and pepper to taste and cook for five minutes. In the meantime cook the tips of the asparagus in a separate dish until quite tender, take them out and drain them, and add to the soup just as It is served. ASPARAGUS AU GRATIN.—Take a large bunch of asparagus and cut off the tops about two and a half inches down, and tie these in little bundles bound with cord. Cook for ten or fif teen minutes in water that is well salted. Drain these little bundles well and cut the cords from them. Arrange on a flre-proof platter, and cover with a white drawn butter. Over this drawn butter sprinkle a thick layer of Par mesan or English .cheese, and brown in a very quick oven. ASPARAGUS TIPS AND SCRAM BLED EGGS.—Cut the asparagus up in small half-inch pieces—that is all of it that Is tender. After thoroughly, washing In cold water, put in sauce-! pan with one quart of water, half a teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoon of sugar. Boll for twenty minutes and drain thoroughly. Melt a heaping tablespoon of butter In a frying pan (porcelain lined preferred), add the as paragus tips, and toss them about for a minute or more. Into a separate bowl crack six or eight fresh eggs, two tablespoons of milk, half a teaspoon of salt and a goodly dash of pepper. Beat this together with a silver fork until well blended, then pour over the as paragus tips in the pan and cook for five minutes, stirring very gently. This should be served In a deep dish gar nished with parsley. ASPARAGUS VINAIGRETTE.—Boil a bunch of asparagus for about twenty minutes after having cleaned tt prop erly. When done, take out and drain thoroughly so that no liquor comes from it. Arrange on salad plates when cold, and over the tips strew some pickled cabbage or some green Chill sauce. Then make a rich French dressing with much oil and put a ta blespoon of dressing over each portion. This must be served ice cold. ASPARAGUS TIPS IN CREAM.—Cut into one-inch pieces all the tender parts of one bunch of asparagus. Plunge Into boiling water, to which must be added a teaspoon of salt and one of sugar. Boll for twenty min utes, then drain. In a separate sauce pan melt half an ounce of butter and add an ounce of flour, then gradually add one gill of milk, and one gill of cream, a pinch of salt, dash of sugar and h saltspoon of grated nutmeg (this last can be eliminated if the flavor is not iked by the family). Mix this all well with a wooden spoon, and let it com to a boil, then add the cooked tips and half an ounce of butter. Mix wet! with the wooden spoon, let It come to t boil again, then pour into deep veg< table dish and serve piping hot. El gi and Tomato In Ramaklnu.— Butt er your individual ramakin dishes and fit into the bottom of each one balf of a ripe tomato, laid with the skin down. Add just a little water and bake until the tomato is tender. Now scoop out a little of the baked tomako heart, leaving a cup or shell of twniikp. For six portions, break into a bofel two eggs, a teaspoon of melted buttfr, one tablespoon of cream, a llttll onion Juice, a tablespoon of Si'a.id Parmesan or English cheese, a pincf each of salt, sugar and pepper, and [beat until creamy. Fill the hol lows! of the tomatoes with this cus tard! set in the oven until it bakes flrnfi jr, garnish with a tiny sprig of park ey in each portion and serve in the ramakin dishes as cooked. Ft neli Drefuting: Have your bowl an<| f'ork or egg beater ice cold, also your Ingredients. Three-fourths of a te##i Son of salt, one-fourth of a tea sjfcpa of pepper, half a teaspoon of pul veri* ed sugar, four tablespoonsful of oliv& oil. Beat these together until the s«af( gilng is dissolved, then add two tah| spoonsful of vinegar, beat ener 8TetfE|)y with your egg beater, and poiii¥at once over the salad. BEAUTY HINTS IN SUMMER GARDENS yfc ,TT" toilet table of the modern beauty and the shelves of drug stores suggest the fact that veg etable remedies are best of all for the human skin. "Cucumber Cream," "Let tuce Cosmetic," "Arbutus Lotion,” these are only a few of the titles picked at random, and they should suggest to the woman who lives in small town, sub urb, village or farm the wonderful pos sibilities of her own little plot of ground. Then, too, there are delightful scents and sachets which any girl can make if she has a mere pocket handkerchief of a garden in her city back yard. Even the city girl without a garden plot can And fine uses for June roses sent by men friends and the strawoer rles and the vegetables brought to her door by hucksters. In other articles I have spoken of the useful qualities of tomatoes, horse radish and other homely remedies for tan and freckles. In last week’s ar ticle I gave the ever-rellable formula for cucumber cream. Invaluable alike to the woman of oily complexion or the victim of freckles. To-day I am offering some formulas that are new to my readers, but which suggest great garden possibilities. Lettuce Cream.—For healing tanned or Irritated skin. Almond oil, 4 ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax, 1 ounce; lettuce Juice, 2 ounces. The lettuce must be scalded with boiling water, and allowed to stand a few min utes. Pour off the water and pound the lettuce to a paste In an earthen bowl or mortar, then strain through cheesecloth. Melt the first Ingredients In a double boiler over a very slow Are—do not let them come to a boll, Just melt them, then drop by drop add the lettuce Juice, constantly beating the cream with a fork until all the Juice Is added and the cream perfectly smooth and cold. Lavender sncner rowuer.—p in pv.hcv bags with this to scent your linen: Dried lavender flowers (powdered), 10 ounces; powdered benzoin, 3 ounces; cypress powder, 6 ounces, and oil of lavender. 1H drachms. Cypress pow der Is made from reindeer moss, wnlch Is carefully picked over and then re duced to a powder. A delightful sachet can be made of the dried lav ender flowers alone, tied up in silko lene bags. Lavender flowers dried and mixed with a small quantity of orris root and powdered cloves will keep mothB away. Liquid Strawberry Rouge.—This Is a delightful rouge to use, and entirely harmless. It should be applied with a bit of absorbent cotton. Put three quarts of very ripe strawberries in a fruit Jar and add to them 1 pint of distilled water. Set this Jar in a pan of water over a very slow Are and let It boll slowly for about two hours. Then strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Let it get cold, then add the following ingredients: Deodorized alcohol, 12 ounces; best Russian Isin glass (dissolved), 30 grains; pure car mine, 15 grains; attar of roses, 4 drops; oil of neroli, 2 drops. This should be kept in a dark and cool place, and alwayc tightly corked. French Face Powder—Take six large and very ripe yellow carrots and scrape them into a bowl. Do likewise with a pink beetroot. Put this In a bag and squeeze out all the Juice. Add to this about three ounces of pure corn starch, and expose It to the sun, stirring It occasionally until the fluid has all evaporated. You will And that the dry corn starch Is tinted a beauti ful pink. Sift this through fine gauze and then add the following Ingredi ents: Powdered Venetian talc, 300 grains; powdered lycopodium, 300 grains; powdered bergamot, 45 grains, and powdered bismuth, T grains. Sift all together onee more and keep in a tiny wooden box. Aromatic Vinegar.-—Delightful to use In your toilet water, also a most agreeable disinfectant. Excellent for relaxed tissues or coarse skin. Laven der flowers, 1 ounce; fresh tops of rose mary, thyme, rue, sage, wormwood and mint, ounce of each; Calamus, nut megs, cloves and cinnamon (bruised), 1 drachm of each; camphor, 1 drachm; alcohol, 2 ounces; strong wine vinegar, 1 quart. The camphor gum should be dissolved in the alcohol, then add the herbs, the spices, and, lastly, the vine gar. Let it stand for about ten days or two weeks. Strain through cheese cloth. Chlckweed Water.—An old-fashioned and harmless cure for obesity. Gather the fresh white-blossomed plant, and to every six handfuls add one quart of water. Let it boil slowly for an ho,ur. In the bottom of a stone pitcher have several sticks of liquorice-wood (this is not necessary, but gives good flavor to the drink), and pour over the liquor ice sticks the boiling tea. Add the sliced peel of a lemon. Drink three or four glasses of the chickweed water, cold, every day. Aromatic Foot Bath.—For tired, sen sitive feet. 1 ounce of dried mint; 1 ounce of dried sage; 3 ounces of dried Angelica; V6 pound of Juniper berries and 1 pound of rosemary leaves. Boil all these herbs in five quarts of water for twenty minutes. Soak the feet for about twenty minutes in a basin of water to which a goodly quantity of the herb water has been added. How to Serve Strawberries*—In very few households is this done correctly. If you have very large, sound berries, do not hull them nor cut off any of the stems, but wash them in very cold water in a colander, shaking them lightly and draining thoroughly. Then wash any green leaves you may have at hand, strawberry leaves if you live in the country, or grape leaves; or In town, any bit of greenery, like chicory or parsley. Lay this on a flat plate, heap single service of strawberries upon it and pass with the berries powdered sugar. Geranium leaves are also tasty with the berries, just to provide the green background.
