Belated Information.
Albert Morris Bagby was being con
gratulated at the Waldorl'-Astoria in
New York on tbs success of bis "mu
sical mornings.”
"I impute my success," he said, "to
the fact that I engage no talent that 1
don’t know thoroughly. In entertain
ment, as In matrimony, knowledge is
most important.”
Then Mr. Bagby smiled and said:
“Two ladies were talking the other
day about the Chinese revolution. The
younger lady said:
“ ‘Isn’t it dreadful in China? A wom
an doesn't know her husband till she
marries him.’
“The other lady, a divorcee, answer
ed bitterly:
“ 'I didn't know my husband till I
married him, either.” — St. Louis

Puzzle of Living.
Religionists chided about their ina
bility to agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in inci
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have “died if you drank
water with your meals.” Now they
say it doesn’t do any harm at all. One
variety says: “Eat meat, lots of it, to
build good, rich blood." Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both Increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
“Talk with your meals, laugh; It
makes the food digest.” Others insist
silence Is never so golden as at the
table.
Modern Methods.
The late A. Tennyson Dickens, dur
ing an interview in Chicago, condemn
ed the war in Tripoli vehemently.
“Slavery,” he said, with a bitter
smile, “is now abolished. We no long
er steal a people and sell them into
bondage. No. no, indeed. We Just
steal their country and charge them
so much for governing it that they
have to work twice as hard as slaves
to pay their taxes.”
Evidence.
“What makes you think our great
public men don’t work as hard as
they uspd to?”
“By the photographs,” replied
Farmer Corntossel. "When I was a
young feller the big men in politics
didn’t take near as much time to git
shaved and have their hair cut.”
Out of Date.
"Every time he opens his mouth he
puts his foot in it.”
“That’s a great pity. Contortionists
are no longer in demand as vaudeville
attractions.”
Ani oculist can do nothing for a man
who is blind to his own Interests.
A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning, and tells It in a way so sim
ple and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
“I had neuralgic headaches for 12
years,” she says, “and have suffered
untold agony. When I first began to
have them I weighed 140 pounds, but
they brought me down to 110.
“I went to many doctors and they
gave mo only temporary relief. So I
suffered on, till one day, a woman
doctor advised me to drink Postum.
She said I looked like I wa3 coffee
poisoned.
“So I began to drink Postum, and
gained 15 pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not so
fast as at first. My headaches began
to leave me after I had used Postum
about two weeks—long enough, I ex
pect, to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
“Now that a few months have pass
ed since I began to use Postum, I can
gladly say that I never know what a
neuralgic headache Is like any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
relieved me.
"Before I used Postum I never
went out alone; I would get bewilder
ed and would not know which way to
turn. Now I go alone and my head
Is as clear as a bell. My brain and
nerves are stronger than they have
been for years.” Name given by

! ADVANCE MODELS ARE
! SHOWING NEW STYLES
Flounces Trimmed With Velvet
and Bead Sashes—High
Waist Line Going.
One of the model gowns which was
seen recently and foretold fashions for
the comi: year was In berge silk, made
with lots of narrow flounces from feet
to waist, each flounce edged with black
velvet. Down the left side the round
line of every flounce was caught with
a small mother of pearl buckle fasten
ing a tiny velvet bow. The corsage
had a fichu of creamy net and an over
one of beige silk trimmed with flounces
like those on tho skirt, only a little
narrower.
Another new gown shows a fancy
little tailormade In cream canvas with
one rever of bright patterned toile de
Jouy.
The sweetest party frocks of
sprigged muslin with wreaths of roses
aud a folded pink silk sash are also to !
be seen.
A complete contrast Is a lovely pale j
blue satin dress veiled with a three
decker tunic in different kinds of nacre ,
lace Rnd a hanging sash of beads.
These hanging sashes of beads, by
the way, are most fascinating. There
are also some silk cord sashes made in
the same way; one in violet plaited
silk. Four rows formed' the waistbelt
Rnd from the fastening point fell a
dozen long rows caught into a bar at
the bottom and fringed.
Cords as Finishing Touches.
Others are in silver, in beads. In i
cords of different colors, and, as a fin- |
lshlng touch to a dress, they are cx- !
tremely pretty and desirable.
Several of tho afternoon dresses are
made with striped velvet tunics. A
violet underdress should have a tunic
of black velvet striped finely with vlo- i
let, and a striped gown should have a i
plain chiffon tunic.
! The obvious tendency in the very |
newest models toward a rounded ;
waistline makes one feel sure that by
the end of tho winter the quite high !
waisted dress will be altogether out of '
date; but It will take longer than that
to bring back the really full skirt, even J
If It ever arrives at great popularity, i
Another pretty gown is ^n blue green
chiffon, stamped with velvet flowers
and trimmed with narrow hands of
chinchilla, and there Is a very simple, j
smart one In black chameuse, worked ,
with threads of gold and sapphire blue.
WOMANLY WISDOM.
From the Farm Journal.
The web on tho leaves the spider !

Is like the charm hope hangs o’er

Tho' oft she see it torn by the breeze
She spins the oilghj tissue again.
A shoe horn is a great help when
putting on children's rubbers.
Get the kindling ready the night be
fore. It is a real pleasure, these cold i
mornings, to find a v, ell-tilled basket
all ready.
Do not waste time and energy' trying
to wash the bean pot the same day it
is emptied. Put it in a pan of water
for a day, and then It will clean easily.
Being alone in the house, and hear
ing burglars down stairs, a woman had
tho presence of mind to take a large
paper bag, blow it full of air, then
break it on the wall of the stairs. Mis
taking the loud report for a pistol shot,
tho robbers fled.
The best way of cleaning tho rub
bers on a wringing machine is to rub
them clean with a cloth dipped in coal
oil. It won’t do any harm if the rub
ber absorbs a little.
If you want to make the very best
coffee, free from ground and which will
need no straining, try the experiment
of putting it in a little muslin bag be
fore placing it in the pot. You will be
surprised at the result.
The cold strikes up through a mat
tress that just rests on springs, and
makes one cold in bed at night. Lay
one or two thicknesses of newspaper
over the springs; this will keep out the
cold and save the mattress from wear.
Never put tho children to bed when
they are nervous or fretful, nor when
you have cross words on your lips. A
person's last waking thoughts Influence
the sleep, so it Is imperative that such
thoughts be quiet, happy ones at bed
time. And do not neglect the little
good night stories.
There are some time saving "kinks”
about preparing vegetables. We all
boil beets v. ith skins uncut to keep the
juice in. Now put potatoes also with
the skins on in tho same kettle, and the
two vegetables cook nicely together;
only beets must go in first and boil
much longer. They will not discolor the
potatoes.
NOVEL TABLE COVER.
A lovely, if somewhat costly table
cover recently seen in one of the shops
suggested one of the numerous ingen
ious ways in vogue of employing satis
factorily any scrap of lace or needle
work one happens to have in the house.
This table cover or tea cloth, about
60 inches square in ecru linen, was cut
out round the edges into four blunt
corners, divided by four Vandykes. Be- ■
tween each peak was inserted, point
upward, a three cornered specimen of I
filet lace, while larger ones, peak down
ward, were sewn along the base of the
blunt corners.
A lace insertion framed the center,
fille 1 at the corners with a motif of
broderie Anglicise, crossed with bars
and connected with powderlngs of the
open work. Each of tho four sides of j
the frame was tipped with a diamond j
medallion in filet lace, and round the i
outside edges of the linen square was a
white linen fringe with spaced tassels.

In popular songs is the quality of words
and music getting better or worse? Do
you remember the days of "Champagne
Charlie,” “Captain Jinks of the Horse
Marines,” and “Up In a Balloon, Boys?”
"Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay" was circling the
globe at tlie time of the world’s fair and
we knew of the captain of a square rig
ger who heard the chorus In Hongkong
and thought he was listening to a Chl
nesu song, in the early '90s came “Annie
Hooney,” "After the Ball,” "A Bicycle
Built for Two,” and "Sweet Marie." Af
ter “The Blue and the Gray” and “lust
One Girl” began "the era of ragtimes with
"Hello Ma Baby.” "The Good Old Sum
mer Time" helped to bring in the new
century. "Tammany," "Hiawatha,” and
"Tell Mo, Pretty Malden' —tho sextet of
“Florodora" fame—camo along about tho
same time. Later there have been "Nancy
Brown," "So Long, Mary," "Dearie,” "I
Love a Lassie." and other Harry Lauder
songs, "Yip-l-addy," "Beautiful Eyes,"
“Rings on My Fingers,” and yet-echoing
“Fve’-y Little Movement.” There have
been besides whole groups of songs, such
as the moon-and-baboon typo of serenade,
and the songs celebrating home and child
ish oys—the peeping-through-the-knot
liole-in-gi'andpa’s-wooden-leg sort of thing.
Taking it through 20 years, there lias

for the words. Recently we passed art

Then Your Kidneys May Be Weak and in
Need of Quick Attention
Backache is enough cause to suspect the kidneys. The
kidneys are in the small of the back. Congested kidneys swell
and throb. The back naturally aches. It hurts to bend or
stoop or to sit down. J
Kidney trouble may come on all unnoticed. A cold, a
chill, a fever, a strain or irregular habits may start it. While
sick kidneys can be fcured in the beginning, it is a serious
matter when dropsy, gravel or Bright’s disease sets in.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made a reputation in the cure of
backache, and kidney and bladder ills. The best proof is the
testimony of the users. Here are two typical testimonials.
Thirty thousand others are being published in the newspapers.
A postage stamp will bring you reports of cases nearer home.

Didn’t Surprise Mrs. Flynn.
Dennis Flynn, while returning from
work, took refuge under a tree during
a thunder storm. The tree was struck
by lightning and Dennis was blown
some twenty feet, away by the concus
sion and badly stunned. A neighbor
found Dennis and began the work of
resuscitation; another hurried to the
home of Dennis to Inform Mrs. Flynn
of the accident. Mrs. Flynn listened
to the neighbor's account of the acci
dent with mingled terror and joy, and
when told that her husband was not
mucli hurt and would soon be home,
her pleasure was gratifying to behold.
"An’ Dinnis was twinty fate away,

“Och, my Dennis always was quicken

proud shake of her head.
