The Board resolved to have an ap plication of asphaltum applied to 4-5th of a mile to the new stone road ou the It unison road. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Polneuius the road from Manalapan village to the church was accepted. Adjourned to 1 P.M. At the afternoon session Mr. Fisher made a motion that an agreement be prepared to be signed by B. F.

Alleutowu Messenger, Red Bank Standard, Long Branch News, Arlautic Highlands Journal, Keyport Weekly, Monmouth Democrat, Freehold, Red Bank Register, Ocean drove Times, th's year, it is computed by reliable taxing authorities, will exceed that of last yeur bv $5,000,000 as a result of the edict issued by the County Board of taxation to the effect that all persou al property must be assessed iu the same uiaoner and in the same propor tion as real property—at true value, or 100 per cent. 'I he assessors of the various taxing districts of the county have beeu in structed to this effect by the members of the county board, which is now overseeing the making of the levy. The Board visited Freehold, Upper Freehold and Manalapan townships where, it is understood, there is nearly 11,000,000 worth of personal property alone. The Board has already visited Long Branch and the northern dis tricts. It will be in Asbury Park and [Ocean drove within a short time. Any assessor failing to carry out the instructions of the County Board will be called to account by that body, which is determined to equalize taxa l ion in every seuseof the word. It is declared that this additional as sessment will act as a hardship upon the property owners of Monmouth in view of the fact that it will subsequent ly reduce the tax rate. The County Board is endeavoring by every pos si ble means to impress upon the asses sors and the general public that the only way in which to cast aside the inequalities of past taxing sjsteui is to equalize assessments. The tax act of 1903, under which the various county boardB are now working, de clares that this be done. Since New Jersey became a state there has beeu nearly 130 different tax laws and amendments.

Manson of Red Bank to the effect that lie will seek a reuouiinatiou upon the Republican as sembly ticket at the primaries to he held in Septemper. Mr. Manson held a seat in the lower house two years ago and sought re-election last year, but was defeated by the Democrats. LILLAGORE AGAIN TO SEEK SEAT IN HOUSE T. Nelson Lillagore of Ocean Grove Is being urged by hi6 friends to run for a seat in the house of assembly upon the Republican ticket, by seek ing the nomination at the September primaries. When interviewed Mr. Lillagore stated that if his party de sired to place him in nomination he would seek election in November. Mr. Lillagore was nominated and elected by the Republicans two years ago to this office and was placed in nomination last year, but was defeat ed, together with Frauk Manson of Red Bank and Isaac B. Davisou, of Englishtown and other nominees upon tiie Republican ticket. It is believed that, the Neptune township Republicans will demand of the powers that be that Mr. Lilla gore be placed upon the ticket. Last year during the campaign tor governor, Mr. Lillagore, who speaks Italian fluently, traveled about this state and addressed Italian mass meetings. In thiB respect he made himself almost invaluable to the Re publican state committee, which had met with considerable trouble in reaching this class of voters. It is understood that he will be requested to take up tills part of the eampaigij work again in the fi^Lwhether he re eejves the noinina^^^^^gginbiy or not. a I a_ B^fvTng Freehold at 5.45 for the shore ■PB^oti Friday'the train was delayed two hours.

Bouse, the engineer, saw the wheel coine off and fall beside the tiaok and he put on the air brakes just in time to save a serious accident, for a part of the wheel truck had fallen down and was on the track while the other wheels of the truck were off l he track. The accident was a lucky one as the train which is a fast oue was running slow at the time. The train from the shore was also stalled until the 0 o’clock train bound west bad orders to take the cars back to the Allaire siding and attach them to the train, Why suffer with headache and ueu ralgia when eorrectly fitted glasses to the eye will remove ihetrouble.

fc What a splendid type of tireless act Ivitv hs .the sun as the psalmist de- Ife scribes it issuing like “a bridegroom Sf from bis chamber aud rejoicing like a Ctorng man to run a lace.” Every 1 (uan ought to rise in the morning re freehed by slumber aud renewed by rest, eager for the struggle of the day. BBS -But how rarely thisisso. Most people !P\ rise still unrefreshed, and dreading 7- the strain of tile day’s labors. Tile cause of this is deficient vitality and behind this lies a deficient supply of pure, rich blood, aud au inadequate nourishment of the body. There is nothing that will give a man strengtli ?Fd euer*ry, will Dr. Pierce’s Golden B^ Medical Discovery. It does this by m increasing the quantity aud quality ter of the blood supply.

She had Just missed the 3:45 for Greenwich. Something (or .was It some one?) struck her violently In the back, and she swung round Just ss a young man dashed by to the closed gate. She was adjusting a shak en puff when the youth returned fall of apologies. "I beg your pardon, but I did want to catch that 8.-45 train the worst .way,” he said as he mopped his brow. “So did I,” replied Altle with em phasis, “but I did not think It neces sary to employ personal violence as a means of catching It.” Alice turned from the apologetic man, Who stood regarding her with open admiration. The latter or something meat suited to your off. sbe said, With charming assumed severity. “Oh, I say," continued the man, *Tm no professional Blugger, you know, Just a plain, everyday lawyer running out of town for a holiday,” and be produced his card In verifica tion of the statement “And maybe you’ll be easier when I tell you that there was a girl on that train I’ve been trying to meet for two years:" Alice react me name on me earn, "Mr. Waiter Witherspoon.” Then she smiled. He followed her into'the wait ing room, and they sat down on the uncomfortable benches. Conversation of an impersonal but interesting na ture made the watt remarkably short Once settled in comfortable, Pullman chairs they were like old traveling companions. “You see,” Mr. Witherspoon* was ex- j plaining, “this girl I missed? on the other train is a peach—the (prettiest girl ever—except you." “Don’t you think we might'have* a Window open, Mr. Witherspoon!?" Alice interrupted. Witherspoon opened the window and turned the conversa tion into a less personal channel. “Where do you visit in Greenwich?” “Oh, me—that is, I—oh, I am going to visit my grandmother,” answered Alice, with halting speech. “I bet she’s a dear old lady." assured (Witherspoon. “Now, this other girl that I was going to meet—she had no relatives.” Alice offered no interruptions this time, and he rattled on. “She’s an orphan, no brothers, sis ters, mother or grandmother—nobody but herself. The Hardys are giving a celebration of their wedding anni versary, and they asked Miss Twitch ell and me. And, well, you kuow that all happy brides are matchmakers! But I’m jolly glad 1 missed her, •cause”— “The next station is oura, I think,” (suggested Alice. *gr But imported r TEAS COFFEES i At HALF Price Finest Teas, 19o., 27c., 33c. Best, 37 c. a lb.

To be sure, they conde scended to appear at meals with the other guests, and at the dance Satur day night Witherspoon was decently attentive to his hostess. Monday morning nrrived with un seemly haste, and who can say how It happened that the wagonette would hold only six of the eight guests re turning to town? And who will ex plain how It happened that Wither spoon and Alice were the two selected to go In a hired trap? It struck Alice that the drive to the station was much longer than coming from It, despite the most agreeable company by her side. Finally the old horse drew up alongside the platform, and Witherspoon helped her out. She fooked In all directions for their fellow guests. "Why, where are the rest of our crowd?" she asked in amazement. “A-hem!” started Witherspoon. “It looks as if we had missed another train." “How can that be?" suggested Alice. "We started at the same time they did, and now we will have to wait thirty minutes for the next train. How could It have happened?" she re pented. "Well, the fact Is,” confessed With erspoon, “It didn't happen by accident. I paid the driver $2 to miss the train.” Alice looked at him searchlngly to see if she really heard him aright. “You see,” continued Witherspoon. "I wasn’t going to have Billy Brewster staring at us all the way in town. I wanted you all to myself. And I want to say something to you." “Not here In a railroad station!” cried Alice, with feminine premonition of what that something was. "Why not?” asked Walter recklessly. "We’re all alone, and I want to tell you that I love you, and, oh, Alice, won’t you say ‘Yes?’” “Want the New York train?” yelled the station agent. “Yes, of course," replied Alice. Witherspoon beamed on her and grasped her hand. “Oh. sweetheart. If you knew what a happy man I am end do you really love me?” “I was speaking to the station agent when I said ‘Yes,’ said Alice blush ingly. “But maybe the same answer will do for both.” Humble Folk it it

I, By C B. LF.WIS. I! _

Copyrighted. 190*. by Aeeociated Literary Press. In a way they had been engaged for a year or more, \Tom Salters and Lin da Green—in a vway, I gay. because the humble peoplevltvlng In the coves or scattered cabintfvoa the sides and crests of the southern mountains do not speak of “engagements.” It is taken for granted-that when a “young feller" "hangs around” the cabin of a mountaineer possessing a marriageable daughter he has matri mony In view, and when the nearest neighbors are called in to see the couple jump the broomstick or stand up before a traveling preacher to be made one there is no surprise and lit tle comment. The father of Linda Breen had? no questions to ask of Tom Salters. He had known his father for years. Tom had as yet no questions to ask of Lin da’s sire. Neither Linda nor her moth er had referred to the subject. Many {times when Joe Breen and the yonng I man were out hunting squirrels or walking to the village together Tom would suddenly say without preface: 1 "Beckon me’n Linda better gll I hitched.” And the father of Linda.would throw Rnray the old quid, bite off another ami after chewing away, for a couple at minutes would reply: “Tea, I reckon.” IThati evening the father would have aefew Swords to say to the mother in private, ynnd at a later hour'she would caauaJlywremark to the daughter: "Tom Salters wants you, and I reck on you’ll Ibe goin’ In a few days.” Nineteen times out of twenty the marriage would follow. There would be a new squat of land taken up. n new poteocabln built, and another fam ily would\go on making mountain his tory. But- In this case no marriage -followed. Xt\was all on account of the (arrival of Tom\SaHei's uncle from n vintage In the lowlands. He was In lWflness down ythere and wanted help, so he\had cotnevfor Torn. Tomi uau no wuvuuuu, native \w!t He wus» known to be n “right swart" young \roan The unde talked of\a brooder field, a chance for educatlontaud a rise in the world. Lin da must wait. At the end of a year or two Tom could'1'come back land marry her and tuketbcra way. And In th«^ twdUght of drummer's evening Tom land Linda sat on\a log In front of her father's cabin, a space of a foot between diem. Both looked Into vacancy, and he told ller of the',plan. He taJked ln-a Jerky, disjointed way, but she’understood as well as if lie 'had Been a ’Sliver tongued orator. He had asked for her hand. He meant to\mar ry her. He had no thought of disloy alty. Jflie road seemed straight And plaL^BAAgm, aMhedldiiot droajir hranVM ^Ehnwer un^wnoidUh>w f«r^ girl followed Ttom’s' words, an®,yet she saw months' and’ months and months ahead of them. Two or three tlmes'ishe Instinctively reached out her hanav as If to detain him, but drew \it back wclthoutVhis hav ing observed the action. Two or three times there were tears Inther eyes, but Bhe took care that he should notVsee them. ■“Well, iwfcat do you reckon?” \he asked asj he had finished and the si lence hadl lasted for a long mlnnte. "Better jgo, I.reckon,” was the reply. Wbat ather answer could she have made, a [tousled, barefooted, ignorant girl of the mountains, and yet would her worn tin's, pride seek to detain him when hefhmlf proposed the separation? They aat together for five minutes longer, innd then they separated, she to enter the cqibtn and seek Its darkest corner to lctiher tears flow and be to shake hands with her father and moth er an® bid them goodby. al uiu/ ye nuiu yi ura ivvvid uuu both could “write a scrawl or two and both could road a scrawl or two,” so scrawls passed between them. They were weekly at first, and then there were longer Intervals. If Tom did not write, Linda could not answer. Then one* day there came a neighbor who had iseen Tom In person in his new field. The speaker did not mean to wonnd or bruise, but he had seen a >new Tom Salters, one who was no longer of those on the1 mountains. He had for gotten the crags and peaks for the streets >of the town. When the man had departed Linda’s mother wanted to look her In the eyes. Linda wanted to do the same by her mother.. Instead of so doing both turned 'their heads away. They said nothing) of Tom. Whatlhappeued was all simple and natural. Tom Salters had entered upon a 'new life. It offered number less attractions to the young man who had never traveled ten miles from the cabin In which he had been born, and It was but natural i that he should soon begin to forget the*old life and all that he had left behind. His scrawls were Indited at longer Intervals and finally ceased altogether. He came to almost Ignore the few mountain men he had) known In other days. They looked atlhls new clothes, noted his speech and. walk and went away shaking their heads. In their opinion this was rank* disloyalty to the mountains. By and by there came another mes senger to the cabin in the cove where Linda waited. Again there was no de-; aire to wound or bruise, be t simply to impart news. Tom Balters .was “shin- j 1 if*' v tng up” to a harfdBbme young girl down there In the town. He bad become almost a gentleman. No matter how right smart he had been before leaving home, he had surely become right smarter after his life among townsfolk. He would nev er return, fee would marry aud settle down where he was. All this and much more Linda lis tened to with her elbows on her knees and her head In her hands. She sat thus after the caller had departed, aud her mother dared not break the silence. It was Linda herself who broke it at last by lifting her head and quietly saying: "I never reckoned on his cornin’ back. We haln’t go In’ to speak of him no mo’.” The mother crossed the room and patted the daughter on the shoulder, and the Incident was closed. Mr. Breen was not even Informed of the goaslp. Linda had not sung for months. She began singing now. Bbe had not ram bled from the cabin for wefks. Bbe bow began taking long walks. Laugh ter came to her lips once more, and when she stopped at the little poet offlce and was told that there was no letter her smile was not replaced by a look of disappointment. “Linda’s forgot about Tom and Is git tin’ perter than ever,” remarked the father to the mother one evening aa they sat alone. The mother did not answer. She looked at him In contempt. As a moth er she knew that Linda was simply breaking her heart The true woman suffers toost when she laughs most. She was watching Linda. There was an undefined fear that the girl’s reck less spirit might lead to tragedy. Weeks passed, however, and nothing happened—nothing except that Linda grew pale cheeked and thin, and note of defiance rang In her laughter. She was suffering and yet defying the pain. Then came a crisis. She. was a mile down the mountain road one day, seat ed on a bowlder where she had often sat before watehlng the highway wind ing down Into the lowlands and the busy world she knew not of, when a human figure came Into view half a mile below. She recognized It even at that distance. A blush came to her cheek, and her eyes flashed. Tom Sal ters was coming back at last. She saw that he was oressea as sue had last seen him and that be walked with weary step and dejected attitude. Until he was within a quarter of a mile the girl was blushing and trem bling and ready to raise her hand and shout a glad welcome. Then she be came a thing of stone, except that she moved her eyes to note his progress. He did not discover her until he was within a hundred feet. Then he drop ped the satchel he was carrying and sprang forward, her name on his lips. The girl slightly inclined her head, but there was Ice In her look. "And you won’t shake handsl You won’t howdy! You won’t say’’— She motioned to him to sit at her feat, and In a weary, hopeless way he obeyed. He waited a long minute and then tn a husky voice began: “I have, come back to stay. I was a taM^o gd\away. I was bo’n up yere, ^^7 might-have knowed I wasn’t flt ten for dowuV there. Mebbe somebody told you that I tried to be one of ’em. Yes, I did. I wore shoes. I wore store clothes. I tried .to talk like ’em an’ act like 'em, but I wasn’t fltten. 1 thought I .might be, but I never could be. Won’t you speak to me, Linda?” "Go on," she replied, still without looking at him. “Mebbe—mebbe somebody from up yere told you about—about a gal down ttere. Yes, there was one. X fell in lorw with her, an’ she—she made fun of^iae. She laughed at me. An’, Ivln da,»the fellers mocked me an’ put upon me\ an' tpade game of me.

BRYAN FAR IN THE LEAD.

Nebraskan’s Followers Predict Hia 1 Nomination on the First Ballot—Del- j egates Adopt Resolution of Respect For Memory of Grover Cleveland Contesting Delegation From New York Loses—Committee at Work on the Platform—Anti-injunction Plank Arousea Much Discussion.

Denver, July 8— Tlie Democratic na- j tional convention was called to order J in the Auditorium here by Thomas j Taggart, chairman of the national j committee, who later relinquished his j seat to Theodore A. Bell of California, temporary chairman of the conveu- i tion. One. thousand and two dele- gates are in attendance. Interest centers now in the attitude 1 of the New York delegation toward the presidential nomination. The old say ing, “As goes New York so goes the nation,” is frequently heard. It is re membered by both Bryan and auti I Bryan men that there are seventy eight delegates from New York and that the direction in which these votes J are cast on the first ballot may have a material bearing on the result of the •■^roting. ^P Tiie New York delegation will hold third caucus of convention week MHBkth the purpose ft jeacbing.a decision to which candidate fojk the presiden illal nomination shall receive the seven ty-eight votes. The caucus has been ft called by Charles P, Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall and chairman of the delegation. The adherents of Mr. Bryan still say that New York will vote for the Nebraskan, while the op posing forces are hopeful that the de cision may help them in their effort to WILI-IAM J. BRYAN, block a nomination on the first ballot. Mr. Murphy maintains the same sphinx-like silence which has charac f* terized iiis attitude ever since bis ar rival in Denver. Parker For Injunction Plank. A spirit of conciliation, it is said, still pervades the Tammany delega tion. As an evidence of this it is pointed out that Judge Alton B. Par ker, who was reported as coming to Denver jfs the representative of New Yor)i state in a fight against the adop tion of an anti-injunction plank, went into the session of the convention com mlttee on resolutions to advocate an i. anti-injunction plank which is deelar 1 ed to have been drawn by Samuel Gompers himself and which formed a part of the tentative platform put forth by the New York delegation. Lewis Nixon was chairman of the subcom mittee of the New York delegation j that brought this about. Guffey Men's Hops. Much is being made by th« Guffey men of the differences which Mr. Bry- an has had with such men as Roger j Sullivan of Illinois, John T. McGraw of West Virginia, certain of the Dem ocratic leaders of Texas, Tennessee,

I I TViseosstn and orner states. They pro cess to believe that the delegations '.■oiu these states are anxious to ad minister a rebuke to Mr. Bryan for his 'lleged interference with the state del id tkms in selecting their representa :ves in tlie convention after the states 'lemselves had declared in favor of 'henomination pf the Nebraskan. It was a stirring scene which spread i ‘lore Chairman Taggart when with, j(lifted gavel he first sought to bring ■.tier out of the confused babel of ■ound and motion. The splendid am phitheater, decorated with flags and uniting, was packed to its utmost lim es with a dense and seething mass of humanity. Below in the central arena Sat the delegates, Just two more than on even thousand, and back of them the 1,000 alternates—these 2,000 the real convention, with the destinies of the party in their hands. Flanking them and sweeping around the hall were the long lines of eager, expectant onlookers, rising tier on tier and gal lery on gallery, solid masses, the brightness of the women in their gay costumes vicing with the splendors of Old Glory, which hung at every hand. Off to the left the president’* daugh ter, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longwoeth in fetching gown and I.ady Gay j Spaqker hat with flowing plume, j smiled from one of the boxes, and from another box looked out the daughter of the Nebraska leader, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, beaming as she waited the naming of her father fot the presidency. On the platform, too, were many representatives of foreign countries—young Viscount de Cham-, bran of France, M. Kroupfsky of Rus sia, Hon. H. F. Charteris of England and the ministers of Argentina, Greece, Belgium and Chile. The appointment of committees was quickly disposed of. For a moment the Pennsylvania row threatened to throw the assembly into wild confu sion. That state presented two sets of officers, representing the two con testing factions. Ollie James of Ken tucky, voicing the Bryan sentiment, endeavored to refer the light to the credentials committee. Against tills Colonel Guffey and Ids lieutenants, pale and gesticulating wildly, sought to interpose a protest, but it was of no avail. For a time pandemonium prevailed, and then the smooth run ning machinery consigned the question to the credentials committee, where Mr. Bryan’s adherents are supreme, and the Guffey forces retired, full of wrath and disgust. Cleveland Resolutions Presented. The presentation of resolutions of respect to the memory of Cleveland brought to tlie front two notable fig ures—Judge Parker of New York, the Democratic* candidate of four years ago, and ex-Governor Francis of Mis sonri, one of the surviving members of the Cleveland cabinet. The resolu tions as adopted emanated from Mr. Bryan’s friends and were presented by I. J. Dunn of Nebraska, who will make the nominating speech for Bryan. Judge Parker gave way in the matter of his own resolution eulogizing Mr. Cleveland, to which the Bryan men had made objection. Mr Francis lauded Mr. Cleveland’s career. When the credentials committee met Christopher G. Callahan of Holyoke, Mass., was elected chairman, and I). H. Linebaugh of Atoka, Okla., was made secretary. Five states and the District of Co lumbia gave notice of contest. Each congest was limited to thirty minutes for argument, although time for the presentation of evidence is to be un limited. The shite notices were re ceived from Pennsylvania, Idaho, Illi nois, Ohio and New York. The first case taken up was idafe. immediately niter neing railed to order the platform committee proceed ed to carry out the wishes of Mr. Bry an by electing Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma as permanent chairman. The committee then de cided to intrust the details of the preparation of the platform to a sub committee of seventeen members to be appointed by the chnir, but before these appointments were announced the full committee listened to argu ments in support of various planks which will be offered for adoption. After a recess the committee re sumed its hearings, taking up the la bor question. Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the Federation of Labor; John Mitchell and other labor leaders were present. They presented for the consideration of the committee the suggestions which were tendered to the resolutions committee of the Chicago convention and asked that they be incorporated in the platform. Addressing the committee in support of the resolutions, Mr. Gompers spoke of their failure to secure recognition. “We asked them for bread, and we received a stone.” The Republican injunction declara tion he declared to be an indorsement of the “existing abuse of law.” He asked the Democrats to “either leave the subject entirely out of the plat- j form or adopt a real remedy for the j wrongs complained of.” He reviewed the decision of the su preme court in the hatters’ case hold ing labor unions to be trusts or illegal j combinations in restraint of trade un der the antitrust law and made an earnest plea for an amendment of that law. He declared that it had never been contemplated that the Sher man law should apply to those who toil, but that, on the contrary, it was 1 intended to control combinations deal ing with the products of labor. On the subject of injunctions Mr. Gom pers said the laboring man merely asked to be regarded as equals. “We do not ask for special privileges,” he said. Gompers Makes Promise. Mr. Gompers said that If the Demo cratic party would assist in righting these two wrongs it would make it possible for labor to stand with it. Labor could afford to wait for the other reforms suggested. “If you will do what we ask you will electrify our hearts.” he said in conclusion, “and we would be with you.” When Mr. Gompers had concluded George Fred Williams of Massachu setts asked him how far the principles he had been arguing for were indorsed by organized labor. The reply was that they had been indorsed by conven tion after convention of organized la bor and that every branch of labor had adopted resolutions urging the reforms. Mr. Gompers said the planks also represented the views of the executive council of the Federation of Labor. James Duncan, first vice president of the American Federation of Labor, added the weight of his argument in support of what Mr. Gompers had said. At the conclusion of Mr. Fufer’s re marks Governor Haskell called upon John Mitchell, the labor leader and possible vice presidential candidate, to address the committee. The committee will not report to the convention until Thursday. With the nomination of William Jennings Br/an seemingly certain in spite of the resistance of a small minority, the followers of Mr. Bryan are openly and exultingiy jubilant. The hotels and streets are filled with the tumult that usually follows rather than precedes a Democratic conven tion, and the atmosphere is charged with Bryan feeling. Existing conditions seem to be: First—Mr. Bryan will be nominated on the first ballot, and more than 700 votes will be cast for him. Second—Mr. Bryan will dictate the very letter and spirit of the platform to he promulgated. Third—Mr. Bryan, through his rep resentatives, will dictate the selection of a candidate for the vice presidency. Fourth—Mr. Bryan will endeavor to induce Judge Gray of tielaware to ac cept the vice presidential nomination, and, failing in this, will ask New York to select the candidate for that place. Fifth—That Mr. Bryan will succeed in drubbing into submission and pos sible extermination those old line bosses who are now resisting him, Guffey, McCarren, Sullivan and others of lesser note. The way for the opening of the con vention was made clear by the action of (lie national committee in disposing of the contests over seats. In record time the committee dis posed of all contests before it with the exception of those of Pennsylvania and Idaho, which went over for a time. I-1-1 THE AUDITORIUM. The general result was to sustain the delegates who came with credentials from their states aud districts. A to tal of seventy-six seats were involved in the contests from Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Iduho, Ohio and the Dis trict of Columbia. The work was done by six subcommittees. Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago was an easy winner of the twenty contested seats from Cook county which were disputed by Robert E. Burke and his associates. Tom L. Johnson of Cleve land was a winner in the Nineteenth Ohio district. McCarren Turned Down. Senator Patrick H. McCarren of Brooklyn was ignored in his contest against Charles F. Murphy for the twelve seats in Kings county, N. Y. Before the subcommittee he became so abusive of the Murphy and Coler men that be was not permitted to pro ceed, and the meeting was abruptly ad journed with the decision to take no further action on the contests. The full committee sustained this action without debate. The New York delegation appointed a committee of ten to draft a platform and named Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic standard bearer of 1904, as the New York representative on the platform committee. The question of the selection of a candidate on the Democratic ticket for vice president will not be determined until after the nomination of a candi date for the presidency. This is the decree of Mr. Bryan and has been com municated to tlie Bryan leaders. Mr. Bryan has taken the position that not until after the first position has been filled can there be a really intelligent selection for the second place. When the nomination shall have l>een made and there shall be an opportunity to consider its effect upon the country at large, then, he thinks, and not until then, can the vice presidency he intel ligently considered. This desire on the part of Mr. Bryan has been received generally with favor. Mr. Guffey enlivened the ante-con vention proceedings by issuing a hot reply to Mr. Bryan's characterization of him in Lincoln as a “corporation man who had taken the Pennsylvania delegation as a result of conspiracy to thwart the wishes of the party.” Mr. Guffey did not mince matters, and his language was approved by a conference of the anti-Bryan lead rs. The resolution honoring Grover Cleveland prepared by former Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, presl- i dentiai candidate in 1904, aroused much discussion. The Bryau men are up in arms j against the proposed resolution and are emphatic in their denunciation of its announced wording. They declare that the resolution ns published Is an open attack on their candidate for the pres idential nomination. Judge Parker has denied any intention of offending any one. Boni Wants His Children Back. Paris, July 8.—Count Boni de Castel lane. accompanied by his counsel, went to tiie office of Judge Henri Ditte, president of the tribunal of the first instance of the Seine and applied to have the custody of his children restored to him on account of his di vorced wife’s marriage in London to Prince Heiie de Sagan. After hearing argument Judge Ditte adjourned the case until the return of the Princess de Sagan to Paris. Bishop Potter Better. Cooperstown, N. Y., July 8.— With each succeeding hour hope brightens for the recovery of Bishop Henfy Cod raan Potter, who is seriously ill from a complication of stomach and liver trouble, and ills physicians believe that his improved condition warrants a decided hope for a favorable outcome Margaret, with her eyes on the heavy sky that hung over the stubbly fields, sang softly: "Falling leaf and fading tree, Lines of white on a sullen sea.” She stopped and turned to Meredith with an impulsive gesture. “This is the cud,” sfie said. His somber eyes met hers. “I can't see it,” he stormed. “We love each other. Why shouldn’t we be happy?” “Ah, but there is the other girl!” she reminded him. "Yes, the other girl,” he said, and for a long time after that they were silent. In front of them stretched the long brown road. The goldenrod flamed on both sides of it now, but when these two had first met there had been sweet brier and other delicate flowers of the early summer. Margaret had worn a bunch of wild pink roses that first morning when she had come ,to the big gate to get her mail, and I-to Meredith, there on the same errand, she had seemed as frest and perfect as the flowers she wore Since thin they had waited everj mnrnipffi Aa old rustic bench undei the oaks. life in that time had tak eu on new meaning. “Think of it” Margaret said at last “tomorrow the little postman will come here and there will be no one to see him and nothing will be changed, bul you and I will be far away—you in the west and I in the east” After another silence he asked "What are you going to do with youi life?” “I?” she hesitated. “Oh, go in for something, I suppose—settlement work or society or literature. Perhaps I’ll write a novel.” Ayou imnK mat any oi tuosc things will make you happy?” She stretched out her hands to him, “Ah, happiness"— she began, and her voice broke. “Come with me,” he whispered as he bent over her. “It must be you and I for all the future, Margaret.” She drew away from him. "No, no,” she told him; “I shall get along. A woman can find so many interests in these days, and in using my brain I shall forget that I have a heart. And you—you will marry the other girl, and this summer, this little time that we have had together, will seem to you like a dream or a strain of music that heard once you can never forget.” Ills eyes followed her as she rose and walked to the gate. She wore a loose tan coat and tan shoes, and her brown hair was waved and puffed into a shining coiffure. “Oh, you beauty,” he whispered, “you beauty!” “Hush!” she warned, and they heard the beat of a horse’s hoofs. The mail wagon of the rural deliv ery carrier was protected from sun and rain by a white umbrella, under which the little man sat like a frog under a toadstool. “You all goin’ tomorrow?” he asked as Meredith gave him directions for forwarding the mall. Then he gave a chuckling laugh. “I reckon if you all come next summer your mail will come to the same name." Margaret had a half dozen letters and a paper. Meredith’s mail was all business matter except one square white envelope addressed in delicate feminine script. “Look here,” the little postman said to Margaret facetiously as he hand ed the letter to Meredith; “I’d be jeal ous of that letter if I were you. He gets one every day.” A wave of scarlet swept over the girl’s face. “Jealous!” she stammered. “Oh, no!” But when the little man had gone she broke down and sobbed. “I am jealous,” she told Meredith. “I am dreadfully, dreadfully jealous." “And yet you won’t marry me.” "No." "You want me to marry a woman I don’t care for, to whom I am engaged simply because I had known her all 1 my life and had drifted into It. and j you want to make me miserable and to make her miserable just'■because I you are afraid It will be dishonorable j for me to go back on my word?” “But she loves you, and she isn’t strong.” His face softened. “No; she isn’t strong, and she has a sweet nature. If I had never met you I should have jogged along with her and there would have been no heights of happiness. I should have dwelt al ways in the plain. He stopped abruptly. “But what is the use of thinking about that? It’s our last day together. Margaret. Let us forget everything but that we are together.” “Then we’ll ride,” she said. “I’ll go back to the house and get my habit, and we will gb over the hills and far away.” He stufTod his letters into his pocket. “You haven’t read—hers.” Margaret re minded bnu. “Another time,” he said briefly, and they went to get ready. Their ride that day was a thing to live in a man’s memory. The hillsides were glowing in russet and orange and green. The lake as they passed it was ns blue ns a sapphire, and the blackbirds were flocking in the golden fields. They talked little, but they lived in tensely In those few hours. Now and then she ventured a little plan for his future or for hers. But he would stop her always, and then he would urge their horses on and on until they went (like the wind. i At last twilight came, and they stop ped at a wayside inn for supper. They j ate little. i “I can’t,” Margaret whispered when he insisted. “I am thinking of tomor row.” v\ nen tne waiter came wun tneir inn Meredith, reaching for his pocketbook, brought out with it the unopened let i ter of the moniing. As It lay on the table Margaret studied the postmark. “How does It happen,” she asked suddenly, “that she Is In New York? I thought you were to meet her in Denver.” He caught the letter out of her hand. I “New York?" he repeated and tore it open. As he read his face changed, whit ened and was suddenly illumined. “Margaret,” he said, with a quick intake of breath, “Margaret!” i “Wbat is it?" she asked, startled, j “Helen is married—to some one she met this summer.” Across the table they stared at each other, stunned by this sudden fulfill ment of their hearts’ desire. Meredith, catching curious eyes upon them, rose. “Come,” he said abruptly; "we must go.” The stars were out as they mounted their horses, and the road lay like a silver path before them. In the dark ness Meredith leaned over and drew to him the lady of his heart. “Dear,” he whispered tensely, “it is the road to happiness.” Met Their Match. Tl'^i students at one of the leading colleges determined to play a trick on one of the professors. For a week they collected all kinds of bugs and finally had gathered a large number of them. Selecting a half I dozen of the most uniformly sized, I they took them apart; then they glued 1 a leg of. one, a head of another, a body of a third, etc., until they had a per fectly made body of a ling, arid a very funny one. Next day when the bug was dry they took It to the professor. “We found It an hour ago,” said the spokesman, “in the back field. It Is very queer, and wc thought you could tell us the name of It.” “So I can,” said the professor after le had looked at it. “It is a species of1 lurabug.''—Philadelphia Ledger.

fHWiWWWWWtWWWW I The Best Man! By EMELINE BARR. Copyright, 1S08, by Associated Lit- i erary Press i IwMWMWwwwwmwawMWl I For tiie first time in his life John Amidon found himself in New York. It was a warm spring day—much too warm nud too glorious to spend in visiting a round of stuffy offices. He would make a holiday of it and let business wait until tomorrow. An inspiration seized him, and after some search through the various com partments of his leather wallet he drew out a dingy visiting card. “H’m,” he mused. “That’s funny. I was sure_I had his address. ‘Richard Malloney,’ that’s all it says, though, that’s sure.” He put the card back thoughtfully. “It was something about Washing ton,” he reflected. But the “something” had eluded him impishly. He drew a map out of his pocket and studied it carefully. With an air of triumph he at length pounced upon the words “Mount Vernon.” He had it! Should he consult a telephone direct ory? What was the use? It would be more fun to give Dick a surprise. Dick was just the kind of fellow to enjoy the unexpected. On the way out on the train Amidon indulged in pleasant reminiscences of college days when he and Dick had been such jolly good chums. Was it possible a whole ten years had gone since they had seen each other? “But Dick’s all right,” he solilo quized. “It’s a great thing to be sure of a welcome. He'll be just as glad to see me as I will”— “Mount Vernon!” shouted the con ductor. and Amidon got off hurriedly. “Can you tell me where Mr. Richard Malloney lives?” he asked the first per son he happened to run into at the station. Before the person addressed had time to reply a six-year-old boy nined ur>: “I can.” “Is that so?” returned Amidon gen ially. “Well, suppose you show me then. Will you?” For answer the knowing one turned to lead the way importantly. When he came to the end of the station plat form he stopped beside a shining auto mobile. “Get In,” he said to Amidon hos pitably. Amidon hesitated. “Why, thank you, young man," he replied. “You are very kind, but if you’ll Just be good enough to tell me where Mr. Malloney lives I’ll walk there.” “But we’re going right there,” per sisted Amidon’s personal conductor. “Mr. Richard Malloney is my father. I’m. Richard Malloney, Jr., you know." In spite or htS'Ttmaaement Amidon was alert enough to be conscious of the chauffeur’s silent chuckling. Rich ard Malloney, ,Tr., was proving a most unexpectedly sprightly pilot. It might be well before committing oneself Ir revocably to his management to ask a few definite questions. So Amidon addressed the amused chauffeur. “I arrived from town on this last train,” he stated. “Can you tell me if Mr. Malloney is at home?” “Very sorry, sir,” returned the chauf feur civilly. “He’s just started for town himself.” “And—Mrs. Malloney?” “She went with him, sir.” Amidon reflected a moment. “Barbara’s home,” volunteered Mal loney junior. Amidon’s face lighted instantly. Bar bara—that was Dick’s sister, of course He remembered, but this was no time for reminiscences. “Is she, indeed?” he exclaimed jovial ly. “Then I will run out.” And he jumped in beside Richard. “Let’s see,” he mused, hardly con scious that he spoke, “how old must Barbara be now?” “About thirty,” Richard suggested. Amidon glanced at the chauffeur. He was quite sure he was chuckling again. “About thirty?" repeated Ammon. "It doesn’t seem possible.” “She’s grown up awful fast,” Rich ard commented. “She was only just a girl when she went away to school, but now she does her hair up and stays up evenings. 1 wish I was thirty.” This yearning was accompanied by a very genuine sigh, but Amidon had quite forgotten to listen to the child’s prattle. His own thoughts were more absorbing. Had he or had he not met Dick’s sis ter? So many fellows at college had sisters! If so, what had she looked like? She must have been very young —and to think of Dick’s being married and never letting him know—more than that, to think of there being a Richard Malioney, Jr.! "Here we are,” exclaimed the boy, “and there’s Barbara on the porch. Hoo-oo!” Barbara came to the top of the steps, looking at Amidon curiously. As for Amidon, he was seised with a panic of misgivings. Surely, If he had ever In his life seen that girl, no mat j ter how many years ago, he would never have forgotten her. But he must say something, fot young Richard had already climbed out of the machine and announced, “Here’s a man to see you, Barbara,” an Introduction that certainly needed elucidating. i Amidon braced himself. “I am John Amidon,” he stated sine 1 ply, standing below her, with hat in band. “Tour brother and I wen friends at college. I hoped to find MU here.” To his astonishment Barbara burst out laughing, revealing two very beau tiful dimples In her glowing cheeks. She recovered herself with evident ef fort. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Amidon. There must be some mistake. Ton see, this Is my only brother,” she said as she lifted Richard junior off his feet and then let him down again with a suddenness that evidently tickled that young man's fancy. “Well, It couldn’t have been your father!” ventured Amidon. At the absurdity of this suggestion Barbara and John both laughed hearti ly. Then Barbara had an idea. “Why, of course, you mean Cousin Dick. Are you a Harvard man?” John nodded. “Ninety-eight,” he' In formed her. “How stupid of me not to have thought of that at once!” Barbara ac cused herself. “But, you see, ’98 Is a pretty long time ago, and Dick has been j abroad nearly ever since he left col- lege.” It was ^11 such a ridiculously mixed up state of affairs—the idea that Cousin Dick was married and that Richard junior was his son; that Barbara was Dick’s sister—when In reality, as it turned out, Dick had no sister; that, most comical of all, Barbara was “about thirty’’—well, what was there to do but to laugh and laugh about It? “But how,” suddenly broke out Bar bara, “did you happen to find us here In Mount Vernon? Dick’s family lives in New York, you know.” “What part of New York?” asked John. “Washington square." And then followed more explanations and more laughter. When Mrs. Malloney returned from town at luncheon time she found Bar- bara and .John In the midst of an ex citing tennis match. “Who’s playing with Barbara?” she questioned Richard junior after several futile attempts to recognize the young j man. “A man I brought from the station,” Richard Informed her boastingly. "Richard, what are you talking about? j What’s his name?” "Barbara will tell you. She likes him. They’ve been laughing lots.” The introduction, with its subsequent explanations, at last over with, Mrs. Mulloney was all charming hospitality. “Of course you'll come out and stay with us while you’re here, Mr. Aml don. The city is so disagreeable in warm weather. It's a great privilege to be able to do anything for Dick's friends. We’re all most fond of him, but he gives us very little chance to show it You will make this your headquarters, won’t you?”* John Ainidon had to hold on to him self good aud~hard. lie was so happy that he feared he would appear over zealous in accepting the invitation. Of course John Amidon fell head over heels In love with Barbara. Of course he decided to spend the whole summer In the east, and, of course, at the end of the summer be wrote to his claim. Dick Malloney, commanding his con gratulatinns. "You’re going to marry Barber., aren’t you?” asked Richard junt a-, i bing abruptly out from under t’n.- ha:: mock where the lovers were sitli one evening at twilight. “You bet I am!” exclaimed Job, catching him up affectionately. “What will I be then,” queried t„ puzzled Richard, "your cousin or. son?” "You? Why,” said John, laughle. “you’ll be my best man, of course.' Reading Tn S=d. Reading In bed, like most luxuries, can be overdone. In fact, there seems to be only one excuse for this fas cinating way of ending the day. Cer tain people find that their worries ac cumulate in their brains after bed time. Their nerves are at high tension, and their minds are actively at work trying to solve problems that should have been left behind in the city. Going to bed with the brain in such a state means that with nothing to dis tract the thoughts, hearing nothing and seeing nothing in the darkness. Imagination has full sway and hours of wakefulness may be the result. Such a man, we think, will find half an hour’s reading in bed a great help. With careful attention paid to the quality and position of the light so that without flickering it shines over the shoulder and directly on to the page the much maligned habit of read ing in bed has sometimes a very bene ficial effect on a tired and overwake ful brain.—Family Doctor. A Considerate Bride. i “The most considerate girl I ever knew got married yesterday,” said the man. “She showed her thoughtfulness in a most unusual way. The day be fore the wedding she called the atten tion of the rest of the family to a row of old shoes standing in a downstairs closet. ‘I want you to throw these after the carriage,’ she said. ‘They are all mates. I collected them to throw away. I learned some time ago that certain poor souls who have hard work, to get clothes of any description keep a lookout for big weddings. They hang around the house at going away time and pick up the good luck shoes. Maybe they get a fit, and maybe they don't. Anyway, I’ve done all I could to accommodate them. I ‘Here are stx pairs of decent shoes to be fired after me. If somebody doesn't get fitted in that collection It isn’t my fault.’ ”—New York Times.

I CAPTURED A FLEET ON FOOT. Remarkable Achievement of Five Revolutionary Heroes. When Savannah was Invested by the American army Captain French, with a small body of British regulars and five small vessels, was stationed twen ty miles up the river, and the prox imity of tbe American force made him nervous. Colonel John White of the Georgia line wanted to capture this de tachment, but no soldiers could be spared by the American general for the undertaking. Now, the colonel was a determined and masterful man and re solved to make the venture on his own account. He persuaded his three or derlies and Captain Ethholm to aid him. At the fall of night they built a great many fires In the woods near the Brit ish post, arranged so as to give the im pression of a hostile camp of large force. Then the colonel and his four friends, “Imitating the manner of the staff, rode with haste in various direc tions, giving orders In a loud voice. French became satisfied that a large body of the enemy were upon him, and, being summoned by Colonel JFhite, he surrendered his detachment, the crews of five vessels and 130 stands of arms.” Colonel White pretended that he must keep back his troops, as Tory out rages had infuriated them and indis criminate slaughter might take place. He took the parole of the British cap tain and soldiers not again to serve, gave them three guides, his orderlies, to escort them to safe quarters and hurried them away before daybreak lest the fury of his pretended soldiers should fall upon them.—L. T. Sprague in Outlook. Old Fashioned Wit. The standard of wit varies from time to time. What passes for the genuine article at one period without challenge Is at another condemned as puerile. Stories were commonly told of Beau Brummel and his friends which there Is good reason to believe to be au thentic, but which would-now be re garded as too silly for credence. The famous man about town once laid a wager with the prince regent that he would see the greater number of cals If the prince chose which side of Regent street he pleased. As the re sult Brummel saw about twenty, while the prince had not encountered one. He was asked to explain the system on which he had gambled and did so thus: It was a very hot morning, and George IV., who liked to take his ease, chose the shady side of the street But cats like sunshine and gratified their Inclination by sunning themselves In large numbers. Beau Nash’s wagers were not always so successful, a’ d he once found him self nonplused' _y a young woman at Bath. Having bet that he would “take t a rise” out of the girl, hP addressed 1 her with the remark that no doubt she I was familiar with her Bible and haJH read the history of Toblt and his do^fl “Now,” said he, “can you tell me ttjU dog’s nAneZ” Tift reply was prompt ns lffwas pertinent: “Oh, yes/ sir. His name was Nash, and a verjy Impudent dog he was.”—London Globe. -1- Cards Are Out. “I am glad your name Is Mary,” said Mr. Slowcoach to his sweetheart, whom j he has been courting for several years/' “Why so?” she asked. “Because I was reading today and came across a line which said, ‘Mary Is the sweetest name that a woman ever bore.’ “That Is poetically expressed. I’ve heard my father say It to mother, whose name Is Mary. It is from some poet, Isn’t It?” “I believe so.” “But I’ve heard my father say there was even a sweeter name than Mary.” “I think he must have been mis taken,” said the lover as he tenderly pressed his sweetheart’s hand. “No. I don’t think he was mis taken.” “What was the other name?” A beautiful flush suffused the maid en’s cheek, the silken lashes fell and veiled the lovely eyes, and, In a tons as soft as the whisperings of an aeo llan harp, she murmured: “Wife!”—London Answers.

Check Your Passion. An old man was once walking with a little boy. They came across four shrubs. The old man said to his youth ful companion: “Pull up the least one.” He obeyed wtth ease. “Now the next” He obeyed, but it did not come so easily. “And the third.” It took all his strength to move Its roots, but he succeeded. “Now the fourth.” In vain the lad put forth all his strength. He only made the leaves tremble. He could not move the roots. They had gone strongly into the ^arth, and no effort could dislodge them. Then the wise old man said to the ardent youth: “This, my son, is just what happens with our passions. When they are young and weak one may by a little watchfulness over self and the help of a little self denial easily tear them up, but If we let them cast their roots deep into our souls there is no human power can uproot them. For this rea son, my child, watch well over the first movements of your soul and study by acts of Virtue to keep your passions well in check.” t j

GUARDING AGAINST THE DEADLY VACATION GERMS ^y^HY does the family doctor bill JJ generally grow apace after “Mother” and the children re turn from their vacation? Why do so many girls go direct from their summer boarding place to a sick bed at home or to a hospital ward? Perhaps you have never realized that these things did happen year after year. Perhaps, if you heard the fact commented upon, you have said, as one woman did to me: "Oh, well, you know we never realize how utterly done up we are, until we go on our vacations. Then when once we do relax and tired nature asserts itself, we simply drift into illness. We have time to think that we are ill, and from thinking or realizing that you do not feel well, you go to bed." Fine reasoning, but it will not bear investigation. Doctors will tell you that halt of the fall illness is the result of mid summer folly. Typhoid springs from bad drainage and water supply, tainted wells and foul pipes at summer re sorts, and tuberculosis, so often laid to an accidental ducking during the vaca tion by the lake or sea, more often comes from contagion through the use of public drinking cups, towels in public lavatories, etc. The disease germ is a lively, mis chief-making little creature in vacation days, and every traveler should guard against his evil work. The most dangerous germ with which the average summer traveler comes in contact is that of tuberculosis. He is everywhere. The consumptive who clings to a steam-heated room all winter is abroad, endangering the r,nhi ie health, in mid-summer. In one of fiie" great Taefortesuot-Uew York City, there worked a bright in spectress. She was without rival in the opinion of her employers. As the piles of garments came in from the sweat-shop workers, this girl passed upon the workmanship, checking the articles off on the vouchers. In order to facilitate her work, she moistened her Anger tips on her tongue and then, with the moist Anger, quickly turned the pages of vouchers. One day she reported for work with a cold. In a month, she had lost her voice. In six weeks a city physician examined her throat and pronounced the trouble tuberculosis. If the girl were to speak aloud, one of the tuber cular abscesses In her throat might burst and death follow The next day the girl left for an outdoor camp in the Catskill mountains. Perhaps you think this has nothing to do with vacation germs. No? Well, let me add that this girl was wretchedly sick and feverish. The train was hot and stuffy. About every Afteen or twenty minutes during that hard Jour ney, the girl who, to all other eyes, was apparently in good health, stepped to the water cooler for a drink, and between each of her drinks, scores of other passengers bound for summer resorts along the Hudson River, men, women and children, drank from tho same glass used by this girl In whose throat, only a few inches below the lips which touched the glass were the deadliest abscesses known to medical science. Do you know who has been drinking of the glass you seize so eagerly in railway station or train or hotel hall? If you don't know, don't use the glass. Have a drinking cup of your own, one of the little collapsible affairs, and loan it to no one. The inspectress with death written in her throat ought not to have used that public drillglass—but no one had told her so. She ougRtToTtaWliSH- frer own glass, her own face, towels. But like all of her kind sh.e was optimistic. She would coiie home In a few weeks cured. In the meantime she had no thought of the} disease germs she was scattering among-pleasure-bound tra velers. In the mart and nickle-plated lava tory of one f the finest railway sta tions in Amei ca, I saw a maid put out a spotless rol er towel. Then she went about her b isiness. She could not dictate who e iould and should not use that towel. RThile I was there, one woman with m revolting skin disease and another with an ugly running sore on her lower Up used that towel. A third woman t ith a hacking cough and hectic flush ca ne In, took the towel off the roller, dip >ed a corner into water, laved her face throat and hands, dried j them and puiJ the towel back on the roller. And a ter these came a fresh, 1 laughing girl, vacation bound. She told her friend hoi hot she was. She must have a good uiash between trains. She bathed her tai& and hands vigorously in the coolin water, then turned to the towel. Ri'"T° Is the season of the year C~\ when the stout woman finds It V J so hard to fight that lethargy which the excessive heat Is bound to bring. She stays In doors and takes no exercise. She takes cold baths Instead of warm ones. She drinks quantities of iced liquids with her meals, and yields to Innumerable other temporary com forts. all of which add to her already heavy figure pounds of additional flesh. How to prevent this is a timely ques tion. To begin with, do not feast the body, and then rush to the nearest druggist and buy some patent anti fat This is a very dangerous prac tice, and in the majority of cases where women are overburdened with flesh, what is needod is not medicine, but a general reform of habits. It is not necessary to starve yourself, but to select certain foods, and take exer cise. If the days are too warm to venture out, then take a long walk In the evening after supper—but exercise you must have. As to food. All sweets are barred, and nothing should be eaten between mealB. Eat no white bread at all un less it is toasted very brown. Gluten or graham breads are permissible. Potatoes are barred in all forms. For breakfast, eat no cereals with rich cream. But eat any fruit excepting bananas, peaches and melons. In the place of richly cooked desserts, eat fruit without sugar, figs, dates, nuts and raisins. Never touch veal or pork, but all fish are allowed, unless it be of an oily variety such as mackerel or sardines. Green vegetables and salads are allowed, but no soups. If the abdomen Is large, much bene fit will bo found from drinkjng chick weed water. Three or four glasses of this drunk during the day Is very'i^w freshing and beneficial. To make this drink, take six handfuls of the freshly A—.

In the bottom of a china pitcher place a stick of liquorice wood, some lemon peel, and two slices of the lemon. Pour over these the strained water. Let It get cold and drink when thirsty. Do not beguile yourself Into think ing that motoring or driving Is exer cise that will take the place of walk ing. Neither will dragging one foot after the other around a block or two answer. Start out at a brisk pace, with the head up, shoulders thrown back, and a long swinging stride. This is a natural, healthy, reducing exercise. Do not fall to take a warm bath every day. A large lump of alum In the water Is beneficial. When I say warm, I do not moan hot. Hot baths are very debilitating. And be gen erous with the use of a stiff scrubbing brush. In this way you help to break up the fatty globules. Then day your

Keep away from the soda water foun tains. These are two rules that must not be broken. At home when you are thirsty, drink the chlckweed water— and when you go to the soda fountain with your girl friend, drink vlchy or seltzer, or a lemon phosphate. Under no circumstances order Ice cream soda. To-day we are showing Illustrations of reduction exercises for the stout _BS*i KEE?"LEGS STIFF; MAKE FINGER TIPS TOUCH FLOOR. exercises have been described In full In these columns, and we simply pub lish the illus tratlons to make them clearer. Begin these exercises before the fat becomes too ponderous. It is much easier to keep flesh from coming than to get rid of it once you nave guinea it. Avoid tight lacing. Get a corset that fits you properly. It will cost you five or six dollars, but think of the money you are going to save on Ice cream sodas I pommon sense will tell j^ou that If you pull In your waistline so that you can barely breathe, that the circulation will be Impeded, your hands and face will get re0, you will per spire excessively, and yet the flesh has not disappeared. It has merely been pushed up or down. You weigh just ns much whether your waist measurea 26 or 28 Inches. Get a long corset that supports the abdomen, not a short one that pushes It down. Lises for the Luscious Cherry Candled Cherries.—Wash, stem and pit one pound of large firm cherries, putting a pound of sugar to a pound of the fruit. Boll the Juice and the sugar to a very thick syrup. Put the cherries in this syrup and let them simmer-not boll, for ten minutes Then set them away In the syrup until the next day. The next morning take the cherries out of the syrup and put In a deep dish. Let the syrup boll up once and pour over the cherries. This should be done for three mornings. On the fourth morning, boil the syrup al most to the thickness of candy, dip the cherries in and let them get thor oughly coated, then place them separ ately on flat dlBhes and dr>. Cherry Cordial.—Very ripe cherries should be used for this. Bruise the fruit and mash through a dander, sweeten to taste Boll for ten minutes and then strain. Boll again until perfectly clear, skimming off occasionally. To every quart of the cherry juice add one gill of puye brandy. Seal the bottle tightly and keep in a cool, dark place. German Cherry Pie.—Make a cherry pie as usual, but omit the upper crust. When almost done, beat up one egg until very light, and add to it one scant half cupful of rich cream. Pour this mixture over the top of the rle. Put pie back In oven and bake until the custard is set. This makes a very attractive as well as an appetising Cherry Salad.-Thls is a very dainty dish and really requires little time. For a course at luncheon it is most tempting. Either the large white or red cherries can be used, and It is most effective to mix the two colors. The fruit should be stoned without breaking, and in the place of each stone is placed a nut meat (hickory nut, hazelnut or anything you have on hand). The cherries are then spread on the white leaves of lettuce and served with a sharp French dressing, omitting the pepper. Cherry Tapioca.—Soak one small cup of tapioca in water over night. In the morning add a pinch of salt and cook until clear, then add butter the size of an egg. and one cup of sour cherries, which have been washed and stoned. Add to this half a cup of sherry wine and sugar enough to sweeten. Flavor with vanilla, turn into earthen or agate dish and bake until it bubbles up. Serve ice cold with rich cream. Cherry Roll.—One pint of flour, one teaspoon of salt, one large spoonful sugar, two teaspoons baking powder, one tablespoon butter, either milk or water to moisten. Work as little as possible. Make a soft biscuit dough, divide into five parts, pat flat and lay a handful of stoned cherries on each and roll up. Place in a pan and pour over the rolls the following sauce. .One tablespoon of butter, one cup of sugar, creamed together, then add a pint of boiling water. Stir until blended and pour over the rolls and bake until done a golden brown. Sensible Gifts for the Traveler MV ,UTg Is ’the season of the year when Inany of our friends are taking either short or long trips, and a useful 1 ttle gift as an occasional remembrance of friends left at home is always wel :ome to the globe trotter. Often the quei tion arises: “What shall I give her or him?” and I hope these fev suggestions will be of service to readers. If you can i.fford it, there is nothing of more geneial use than a little fold ing pocket camera, and this makes a splendid gift! for either a man or a woman. A reliable make is not cheap and no other kind should be purchased. This gift occupies little room, and brings great Joy not only to the tia l veler himselfj but to those at home when they sej> the pictures on his re turn. In all stationery shops can be found a littlel writing pad under vari ous names. I ©metimes it is called “A Line a Day,' then again “A Hasty Line,” but It 1 Consists of a writing pad of medium <1 mansions, which can be folded up to j form an envelope^ sealed and mailed i i a moment. With this pad should ?o an indelible pencil. They are invaluable to tto traveler with little spi re time on his nands. If your departing friends are taking a long trip a little pillow not over 12 by 8 inches 1 of the greatest comfort. This pillow should be made of hair and covered with)pink sateen. Then there should be thr e little white linen pillow covers to fit It. These slips can be the simplest hemmed affairs, or can be hemstitched and have the owners in itials embroidered on them. Hair pil lows are always cooler In summer, and linen covering Is also cooling to the skin. These pillows are used at the back of the head In the daytime, and to sleep on at night; many people object ing to putting their heads Immediately next to the linen In sleepers and against the heavy plush covering in the day coaches. What are known as "Necessity Hold ers" form another practical gift. These are made of cretonne or other heavy material and fit at the top of the tray of the trunk. A plain piece of cre tonne Is chosen and on it are sewed many little pockets of various sires —small ones for hair pins—larger ones for dressing combs and brushes, a square one that would hold sewing materials, etc. These little pockets should be bound and have tapes to fasten them down. The entire "Hold er” is put on the tray cover with thumb tacks. If the tray has no cover, then It Is fastened to the inside of the trunk cover. Men are blessed with Innumerable pockets in hidden places, but women will always welcome a safety pocket In which they may carry their extra money or small bits of Jewelry. Such a poqket can be made at home from heavy black silk, lined with phamols or the wrists of an old suede glove, and bound firmly about the edges. 1908 SUMMER LINENS AND LACES QOVELTIES may com* and novel ties may go, but linen remains forever a dependable and popu lar fabric. It oomes In a variety of weights, from cobweb handkerchief linen to the quality which Is almost as heavy—and as warm—as cheviot. A medium weight linen makes the most serviceable and comfortable summer costume. The extremely heavy weaves do not launder so well, and they are anything but cool. In color, all-white and ecru are the most dependable for tubbing, but this year there are many charming tints for the woman who can afford to pat ronize a dry-cleaner Instead of a laun dress. One of the smartest of the new linen colors Is, of course. Copenhagen blue and its "near tints," both lighter and darker. Some beautiful rose pinks are show#, bordering on cerise, and all the purplish tints like rasp berry, crushed strawberry, etc. In the browns, a golden tint without a sug gestion of red Is the coolest of all for summer wear, but ecru Is better even than the darker tint. A charming grey Is offered which Is neither pearl nor steel, but suggests a bit of silvery blue. It combines beautifully with white lace and Is cool to eye and touch. Baby-blue and lavender are bad col ors for hard wear, as both show streaks of yellow under sunlight or tubbing. A few very stunning suits j (coats and skirts) are shown In black I linen, piped with white or black and white and finished with white cuffs and collars. Also a little of the tea green linen is shown for tailored suits, but the popular novelties of the season are the raspberry and grey linens. In width, these linens vary from 27 to 86 inches, and the Utter cuts to best advantage, especially for circular skirts. A good quality can be secured for 60 cents a yard, and fifteen yards will make a stunning three-piece suit, or princoes frock and loose coat. The preferred cut for the typically tailored linen suit is a pleated skirt for the stout figure, a tailored shirt waist with stiff collar, long sleeves and a smart cutaway coat. The latter is single-breasted and finished with three large buttons. The pleated skirt for the stout woman must be laid in fine pleats, very flat around the hips and stitched down flrmly, with the flare below the knees. When the linen costume is to be used for more dressy purposes a complete dress suggesting princess lines with tucker and perhaps half sleeves of finer wash materials or lace is worn under whal Is known as the sllp*on Jacket, which may or may not have sleeves. The Jacket may be of linen, heavily encrusted with lace or of lace trimmed by strappings of stitched linen. What is known as an imitation Irish lace is the very best combina tion with linen, and It washes wonder fully well. It can be bought In the all-over width*, in Irregular insertions or galoons, in edgings and in me dalltons. It Is a great noon to tne woman who cannot embroider. The very smartest touch on the linen costume for midsummer Is. of course, this hand-embroidery In large, sprawl ing, extravagant patterns, done with mercerized floss, always white, what ever the tint of the gown. And with this embroidery are used quantities of buttons, some covered with the plain linen, others covered with crocheting and still others done In lace. Very large buttons finish the coats, medium sized buttons trim the skirt, and tiny buttons appear on the trimming of blouse, cults and collar. The tailored suits are quite fre quently piped with a contrasting color, and black and white striped fabric Is used with almost every tint, pale bluq, lavender, white, grey and black.
