A gentlomnn who prldCB hlmsolf on driving n "Binglo cylindor" declares that when ho kept a horso and trap ho spent upon It fully ?G0t) a year. Most of tho monoy was paid to n. Borvnnt! for, ho adds, "a groom Ib, of course, essential, ns ono can scarcely look after a horso ono BOlf." Aftor ho bought nn nutomobllo, ho estimated his heaviest oxponso as tires, f 80; his noxt largest, gasollno, 970, and his total annual outlay ns only n trlflo above $300. During tho year for which figures aro Riven, bo traveled nomo 8,000 miles, and found that It cost him on nn nvorngo less than four cents a mllo. "I looked aftor tho ma chlno myself, ontlroly," bo says. Tho question that tho situation suggests is, Why not deduct from tho six hundred spent on thn horso nnd trap tho cost of tho man who took caro of them, or why not add tho oxponso of n cbauffour to tho cost of runnng tho nutomobllo? Church Advertising. Wo do not bollovo that tho nvorngo church can gain much from news paper advertising. Iu n Inrgo city it Borves ono purposo only; It tolls strangers whoro n pronchor known to thorn perhaps Tjy ropntntlon may bo ncard. Tho advertising of Bormon topics is of little vahio, unless tho nn nouncoment Is couplod with tho nnmo of a preacher of wide and' command ing reputation. Our ndvlco would bo to withhold nowBpapor advertising m. til thcro Is Bomothlng doflnlto and Apo dal to ndvortlBo. When that tlmo comes, bo It nn annlvorsnry or what over, expend upon ono day's advertis ing what you savod by refraining from constant announcements. In this way, Bays W. T. Demarcst, In tho Ilomllotlc Itoylow, nttontlon will bo nttrnctod nnd you will probably bco results. Tho best advertising of regular church serv ices can bo dono locally In tho church's vicinity, by placard, circular letters, and personal work. Admiral Corvora, who commnndod tho Spnlsh fleet at tho battlo of Santi ago, was rotlrcd lately from nctlvo sor- vlco nt his own request. Americans wH always havo a warm apot In their hearts for tho gallant and chivalrous old Spanish sailor. Our own horoos of tho Spanish war harly commanded more popular respect nnd affection than Corvora, whoso life ns a prisoner on tho Unltod States was a sorios of popular triumphs. Ills humanity and quickness of action iu saving tho lives of Hobson nnd his companions was never forgotton by tho Amorlcun peo ple, of which fnct ho received tho most gratifying demonstrations when ho ar rived here.

In 1000 ho married Miss Minna Field, daughter of Honry Flold of Chicago and niece of Mnrshall Field, tho morchnnt dry goods prince. Their wedding eight yours ago was tho result of a ro- inanco dating from their meotlng In Bchool, but tho mnrrlngo turned out unhappily and two years ago Gibson and his first wlfo wore divorced, Shortly afterward sho mnrrlod Alger non Durnnby, a mombor of tho Drltlsh "smart sot," and thoy nro living in LicoBtcrshlre. Aftor his divorco Preston Gibson took up his resldonco permanently in Washington and at onco became pop ular In tho sot which comprises somo of tho best known beaux and belles of tho capital, Besides being a well' known nuthor of Kentucky storleB, Gibson has dramatic tulents, and took n prominent pnrt In social theatricals. Hut It was as an athloto and lover of open nlr sporto thnt Miss Jarvls camo to know him, nnd their lovo of athlot- ics soon ripened into tho romance which wns announced recently. Tho dobut of Miss Jnrvls last win- tor wns regarded aB ono of tho smart est ovents of tho season. on Tariff Revisers from UruBsoIs, and that tho wood- wor or tno imposing "tnrono" upon which tho committeemen sit at hear ings, was brought over from Itnly. "In fnct," said a Domocrnt, "tho only nrtlclo of domestic production around tho rommllttco room theso days Is tho hot air supplied by tho witnesses who appear before us." All of this recalled to Domocratlc membors of tho commlttoo n ludicrous Incident thnt occurred during tho con sideration of tho Dlngley bill In tho houBo, 11 yenrs ago. Nelson W. Ding- loy of Mnlno was In chargo of tho tar- in measure ni tnai tlmo. Ho wan speuklng to tho thomo, "Vo should oncourngo American Industries." Mr. Dlngley wub followed on tho floor by Jerry Simpson of Knnsas, wIiobo nlmblo wit and comic stories nro u part or tho traditions of tho houso. Mr. Dlngley wore a high hat, and invariably brought It into tho houso with him, laying It on tho chair adjoining tho ono ho occupied. "mo guntloman should practice wiiat ho preaches," shouted Mr. Simp son, moving toward tho unsuspecting Mr. uingloy. Picking up Mr. Ding loy's hendgoar, Simpson continued: "I find a labol In tho gontlomnn'a hat, reading thus: 'Mndo In London.'" to Become a Nurse tinued that report, and ever bIiico Washington has boon wondering what tho young woman would do, It being assumed thnt her affections had been sb deoply wounded as her royal suit or's by tho breaking of tho engngo mont. It Is now lenrnod that MIsb Elkins' nttltudo toward Bocloty for tho noxt six months at loast, nnd porhans longor, will bo more serious than was anticipated, Arrangomonts havo boon mado by Miss Elkins to bogln tho serious work of study in tho homeopathic general hospital In Washington.

Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the Evening Costume. Ab every womnrr knows, It Is rnthor Injurious to flno fabrics to pin hoavj bunches of real floworB on them. Thoy also fade before tho evening Is over and nro apt to bo discarded. Tho presont fashion is to wear a largo bunch of French blossoms, won derfully colored and fashioned. There Ib no attempt to avoid daring and vivid combinations. This Is a feature of this Benson's dressing. Scarlet popples ns well as American Denuty roses aro favored. Gardenias wun ineir gioBsy green leaves, aro worn on black, purplo and crimson frocks. Combinations of flowers nro not In ns good tnsto as thoy wore somo seasons ago. Tho bunch is ot ono kind. It is pinned a little below tho bust at tho left sldo. This scem3 to bo tho exact spot accepted ns tho fashlonnblo ono. Among tho rare flowers which aro pui on oxira nnnusomo gowns aro lilies of yellow satin with green leaves. BAD EFFECTS OF ANGER. Complexion Suffers Where There Is Lack of Self-Control. The girl who hns a vory quick tern por must expect to havo troublo with her complexion. Sometimes red spots come out prominently nnd rcfuso to be hidden even by powder. Somotlmes there Is a flush, and when It dlsap poors tho skin is quito dry nnd feels almost painful. Tho causo of all this Is tho excite ment of getting nngry. Very little can bo dono for tho Bkln while tho temper remains unchecked. Perhaps It would bo a good Idea for tho girl who Is wor ried about her poor complexion to ox amino horsolf to find out If n haBty tempor Is tho causo of tho mischief, Should this bo bo, let her set about gaining Bolf-control before sho nt tempts to Improvo her looka by tho ap plication of ercams and lotions. Checks for Trimming. Many of tho nowest fall dresses aro showing a touch of trimming or piping of checked mntorlal. For instance, black suit Is beautiful trimmed with a tiny piping of black and whlto checked sergo. A dross of plain ma terial Borgo or panama is very modish trimmed with bandB of checked tnffota. What a difference a now touch llko this makes! Even In an old-fashioned dross qulto a new ef fect may bo obtained by just a llttlo modern trimming, vthlch lightens up tho wholo and at onco shows tho wearer Is up-todate. Newest Aprons.
