Improving the Consular Service.
Attention lias been drawn to numer
mis transfers and promotions In Hio
United States consular servlro re
cently, nnd n careful rovlow of factH
shows that the procedure Ik In con
formity with the determination of
President Roosevelt's administration
to put matters on n plane of higher ef
ficiency. A Washington dispatch, con
fildorlng tho subject at length, says:
"Tho changes and promotions are the
first fruits of the system of consular
Inspectors which was crea.cd two
ycaru ago. Under this plan, Introduced
In tho consular reform bill then
passod, sevoral traveling ngcntH woro
nppolntcd to go from consulate to con
sulate and to make regular reports to
tho department with refcronco to tho
conditions found to exist at each
place." Much benefit to tho country
has como from tho action tnken by
tho administration, and morn Is like
ly to follow, declares tho Troy (N. Y.)
Times. Secretary of Stato Root, with
the hearty concurrence of President
Roosevelt, hns shown lively personal
Interest In tho consular sorvlcc nnd
has sought to maka It Instrumental In
fostering profllablo nnd pleasant com
mercial relations with foreign coun
tries, and this policy Is having excel
lent results.
Tho Jnpancso did a graceful act In
raising and dedicating n monument to
tho Russians who fell In defending
Port Arthur. This trlbuto of generous
foes to bravo enomloi should go far
toward removing nsperltlos, If any rc
main. Russia went Into tho war with
rather lofty notions ns to tho Inferior
ity of tho Jnpancso as fighters, n mis
tako which was quickly porcelvad.
Japan made no such fnlBo step. The
mikado's soldiers nnd sailors believed
thoy hnd their work cut out for thorn,
nnd that It would not be boy's play.

The match is a llttlo thing but It
plays n most Important part In modorn
llfo. Roccntly gathered Information
shows that matchmaking lu tho United
Statos has attained tho dimensions of
a bis Industry. As it Is estimated that
tho total consumption of matches In
this country nlono Is 1 65,000,000,000
annually, It must bo apparent that
somebody must bo buoy to moot tho
requlromontn. Of courso matchmak

Portsmouth, N. H. An event of un

Nelson Page.
On tho conclusion of tho exorcises
tho guestB from other cltlns visited
the Nutter house on Court street, in
which "Tho Story of tho Had Hoy" Is
laid.
The old hotiBu on Court street In
which Mr. Aldrich passed his boyhood
days hns been fitted up In n way to
porpetunto his name, down to tho
timallost furnishings.
Tho houso belonged to Mr. Aid
rich's grandfather, Thomas Darling
Halloy. Jt Is a two-story and u half
frame structure, tho main ontrnnco
from Court street leading Into n broad
hallway, which passes completely
through tho building to tho largo gar

door Is nn ancient door plato, bearing
the immo of T. 1). Halloy, as well us
tho big brass knocker which did serv
ice when Mr. llalley was nllvo and
Mr. Aldrich was zi llttlo boy. On tho
right of tho main ontrnnco Is tho room
that Is known an "Grandfather Nut
ter's slttlng-room," which contains
chairs nnd tables of thnt period, In
cluding a center table of rnro mahog
any with brass claw foot.
A closet In this room coutnlnH n

which wns used by tho household
whou thoy entortalncd. Facing tho

Aldrich, dressod In n continental uni
form that hu woro In 1840 when ho
commanded tho Portsmouth Contin

which his mother mado all of tho uni

Tho main hallway Is furnished lift

kltchan Is situated In tho rear ot
Grandfather Nutter's slttlng-room.

that porlod. Tho old bluo ltldgewny
crockery dinner sot, which hns been
In tho Bnlloy-Aldrlch family for a po
rlod ot 1C0 years, occupies a conspicu
ous place on thu wooden shelves.
Miss Abigail's bedroom Is directly
over the kitchen, In ono coruor Is a
largo high top canopied bed. In nn
othur Is n small work tablo with Miss
Abigail's work basket, also n silver
sowing bird sorowud to the tablo. On
the opposite side of thu upper hall Is
Mrs, Aldrlch's room, with a high post
ed bedstead and dimity draporlos, ami
all othur Dttlngs that belonged to tho
old period.
Over tho front hallway Is a Binnll

fame high backed chair stands bo
lide tho bed, and on Its back Is hung
tho llttlo continental coat that Mr.

So complete has tho Idea been car
rlod out of having tho Interior or tho

Aldrich, that oven tho gnrrut has not
been overlooked. It wns n favorite
resort for Mr. Aldrich and his boy as
sociates. Hero can bo found all ot
tho cnBtoff nrtleloH on which Mr. Aid

Methods of Trimming That Will Make
Any Simple Frock Ornamental.
Ono of tho protty ways of mnklng

ming It with nn opposlto design In tho
tamo coloring.
To bo explicit, polka dots nro In
fashion nnd frocks In this design nro
trimmed with wide bins bands of plaid
or striped mnterial In tho samo color.
A striped frock Is trimmed with a
wide straight baud of polka dot mate
rial. A plain surfaco Is trimmed with
both tho polka dot and tho striped
fabric, and when tho combination Ib
well dono It docs not really look like
a pntchwork quilt.
It can oven bo carried out In yokes
nnd stocks, nn nets in fashlonnblo col

How Some of Them May Be Avoided
by the Home Dressmaker.
It Is usually tho llttlo errors In
dressmnklng thnt nro tho most Irri
tating aim annoying to tiie womnn
who does her own dressmaking. Tho
uullned waist Is ono of tho hardest
gnrments to fit correctly. When
wrinkles como nt tho baso of tho arm-
holo, tho trouble usually is that tho
urmholo has been mado too small.
If It is, do not cut It out, but dimply
snip It with the point of tho scissors
to sou If tho wrinkles nro removed.
If tho wrinkles nro not romovod, then
trim tho nrmholo.
If tho waist wrinkles nt tho bnso of
tho collar lino in tho back, sco If your
belt is In tho proper place exactly nt
tho waist lino nnd thnt tho lino from
the center back of tho belt Is plumb.
If you nro sure that tho belt is cor
rectly placed, then snip tho collar
with tho point of tho scissors at each
sldo of the center back of tho collar
and wrinkles In all probability wil'
bo removed.

SERGEANT JONES

Until by night, If their pickets (dept.
They would rouse from dreams In a

Thinking tholr tireless foe wns near
To smtle by the light of thu tropic Hf.ir,
North through Luzon Lnwton swept,
(Tho bravest of nil tho bravo was he)
And with his column Hint never crept
Was ono wIiom splilt to Ida wua twinned;
Danger? He. laughed It down tho wlndt
Sergeant Jones of Tennessee!
' Fronting the Filipino line,
One morn us tho resting soldiers lay.
Hearing tho manners whir and whine.
He saw the folds of a buttle-llng
In the sultry breezes rlso and sag
Heyoiid where u river wound Its way.
What did the daring sergeant do?
Tightened Ills trooper's belt by n hole,
Slipped from tho shelter of thick bam

Swam tho ooze of tho sluggish Hlrenm
Willi Its rows of bayonet-reeds ugleam,
And forwnrd over tlm rico-llolds stole.
Over tho rlco-flelds stole, and tlioil
Leaned at tho banner, and clutched It
fast
In tho very faco of the riflemen;
And, ere they rallied from palsied dread,
Hack with the captured ling he sped
With never a look behind hint cast.
Around him, like Invisible bees.
Tho bullets buzzed In n deadly band
From tho rllles of his enemies;
Thoy plowed tho ground behind, before.
Hut he readied tho dip of tho river shore
Unscathed, tho banner within his hand.
Oh, whnt a cheering, rank on rank,
Down the length of the lino thero ran,
Drected him as ho climbed tho bank!

VALUABLE CARGO SAVED.
The
Decision and Gallantry of
Squad of Enlisted Men.
William F. Crawford, sergeant com
pany A, Ninth Illinois cavalry, Milan,
111., tells u good story ot how n val
uable enrgo of government supplies
was saved to tho government. In
January, 18G4, n sergeant from each
company of his regiment was sent
home on u two months' leavo to ro-
emit tho regiment, snys Nutlonul Trib
une. At tho expiration of that tlmo
several ot thorn met nt Cairo, 111., to
tnko boat for Memphis, where tho
Ninth Illinois cnvalry wns stationed.
Tho boat was a largo one and heavily
loaded with army supplies, nil kinds
of ammunition and enough Spencer
cnrblnes to nrm n brigade. With tho
exception of themselves thoro was no
ono on tho boat but tho enptnin and
crow nnd ten old soldlors without
arniB. Everything went nlong finely
until thoy got to within 30 miles of
Fort Pillow, whon they met n boat
coming up tho river, whose cnptaln
called out that ho had been fired un
nt Fort Pillow, where tfio confederates
had a cannon nnd u small number of
men. Sorgt. Crawford talked over
tho situation with his comrades, and
proposed to break open one of tho
boxes of carbines nnd of cartridges,
but tho mato objected, ns did the enp
tniu, who said ho wns rcsponslblo for
tho cargo, and must deliver It Intact,
The sorgeant replied that tho arms
wero there, and thnt thoy must havo
thum to dofend themselves nnd tho
boat, bo, being too mnny for tho cap'
tain nnd tho crew, they opened tho
boxes nnd holpod thomsolvos, tnklng
cnrblnes nud 25 rounds of ammunl
tlon. Comrado Crawford, with two
men, went up on tho hurrlcnno deck
whoro thoy found two big colls of
rope, which ho nnd ono of tho men np
proprlated as a means of protection,
whllu tho third man took u position
behind tho smokestack to watch t!o
pilot, whom thoy suspected and
feared would run them In. Whon
nenr Fort Pillow thu cannon fired
n snot over tneir heads, which was
u signal to tho pilot to land them, but
they kept u closo watch on him, ami
ho mndo no move to do so. When op
poalto tho ennnon It fired right Into tho
boat, but tho soldiers on hoard omp
tied tho seven shots In tholr cnrblnes.
nud thu captain of the boat cried
out: "Hoys, you havo killed and
wounded Bovornl." Thoy kept It up
until so far nvv.v that tholr guns
would not enrry. None of tho threo
shots fired by tho confederates had
any effect on them, nnd tho soldlors
woro landed nt Memphis with n big
load of governmout supplies saved by
tholr pluck nnd resourcefulness.
A Beautiful Incident.
A beautiful Incident, llnoly typical of

Llttlo Suslo has always been deeply

DROPPED COFFEE.
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.
A physician of Wash., D. C, says of
his coffee experlenco:
"For years 1 suffered with poriodlcnl
