There was a pretty little story told on the lost pago of a. metaphysical maga zine recently and signed "Selected." Hero Is the story and it Is full of meaning: A tired woman tvlth a big basket entered a car. She seemed very ITeary, and stag Korcd down th car to an empty Beat. , Then she sat flown and lifted the heavy basket to her lap. She moved It from one knee to tho other to ease Its weight. .Finally a working man reached across tho aisle and said to her: . "Madam, if you will set the basket on the floor tho car will carry you both." Take the story home. ' Aro you not carrying your basket on your lap? Aro ou not feeling It very heavy and very hard to manage? Then lot It down on the floor of God't car. There Is power enough to carry you both. Tho basket may contain disagreeable labor, Innumerable worries and alt' kinds of troubles. That Is your basket, and you are given the work of getting It to your dcstlna tton. But set It down on tho floor of tho car which Is carrying you nlong. And take tho Journey as easily as you can. Forget nbout the weight of the basket while you may, and know It will bo car ried for you. Tho samo magazine has a monthly motto. This month It Is: "I hold quietly and firmly to tho in tegrity and power of the law of tho spirit." That is a grea and glorious thought to Veep In mind. No matter what your faith may be or what your creed, hold to tho conscious ness of the power of the law of the divine spirit to bring things out for your best good. Do not be In a hurry to have it mani fested. It will prove Itself when you are ready. There was a young girl who longed and prayed for the Influence of certain people In high position to be given to her. It seemed cruel and unkind of Provi dence to refuse this boon. Years after ward, when she had attained the thing pho dosired by her own endeavors, she thanked the Invisible helpers that they had denied her curly prayers. She was stronger and better for having made her own wav. nnd shn hnd crnwn discriminating and learned that the in fluence of those sho had desired should befriend her would have been most un fortunato for her in her youth. Believe In the Invisible helpers. They aro real beings. They aro part of tho great divine, gov ernment which has this oarthly sphere of ours under supervision. No matter how it may seem to you that things are going very badly on earth every century the raco Is in reality ad vanclng to a higher plane. Everything which Is flagrantly evil Is llko tho raging of fever In the veins of n sick man: and tho fever will turn at tho critical hour. Things grow worse in our politics, and In social and Industrial matters that they may be cleansed of their Impurities eventually: and that the raco may see how useless It Is to try and find happiness In any way but right ways. If you ure carrying on your lap the heavy basket to worry over our politics and our social evils, put down tho burden on the floor of the car. Lot the power at tho head of the In vlslblo government carry It along for you. It will do no good to hold It on your lap.. Busy your mind with 'high Ideas of personal living. Keep straight In your own affairs; be practically unselfish; give thoughts of good will to your com petitors and rivals In tho field of en deavor. That Is a moro constructive work toward bettering the world than railing at the evils you seo about you, and It Is much harder. Make your homo brighter and happier for your presence In It. Many men and women believe they are doing their duty by their families through hard work and constant effort to enlarge tho fortunes of thoso dear to them; yet they make home the most miserable place on earth for their Ill-tempers, their ner vousness and their lack of social quali ties. Home building Is the first great work of each mortal. From the center of a happy, orderly, cheerful nnd peaceful home, no matter how small and humblo It Is, each of us may work out toward a large useful ness. But first we must make that center. And then keep In mind the power of tho law to bring things out for the best and tho power of tho car to carry our basket. Copyright, 1812, by Amcrlcan-Journal-Examlner. GOLD DUST cleans like magic Gold Dust is more than soap does more than soap. Soap merely cleans; Gold Dust gets under the surface, kills every germ, washes out every impurity and ster ilizes everything it touches. It is a sanitary cleanser1 which cleans quicker and better than anything else, and saves the housevife the toil of rubbing and scrubbing. Gold Dust does all the hard part of the work you merely assist it. Gold Dust is old in 6C size and largo pack ages. The largo package tacans greater economy "Ut tU COLD DUST TWINS Jo your work" f Women and the Cigarette j The long suffering men now learn that women have gone to such leno-ths In cigarette holders that man Is likely to have an eye single for their charms. What, with 'tho new devices, which aro anywhere from five to seven inches on the horlrontal, and tho tobacco roll which Is stepped Into them, thero Is a beam with a fiery end which is likely to put soma persons out of sight.. These cigarette holders are among the latest Importations from London. They are made of bone curved Into the sem- blancn of a quill and ornamented on tho end with a silver knob. If women smoked much In public or walked around with cigarettes between their lips, as the mas- cullners do, there would be no man who could have eyes for them. Mankind would be rnked by projecting liatplns or branded In passing by the fires of nico tine. This matter of cigarette holders will have to be taken up as seriously by the board of aldermen as it did the ordinance with regard to the sharp points which project from the millinery top hainDer. Cigarette holders for feminine uso are becoming moro extensive and expenslvw every day. In one of the well known hotels of this city where women are per mitted to smoke thero appeared yesterday a contrivance for holding clgarettoa which towered above the fair hand to which It was attached. It looked In the distance like a smouldering lorgnette. The holder consisted of two pieces of silver wire. which farmed tho legs of a pair of tongs, which firmly grasped the puffing cylinder. The hold was made tho more secure by a ring which was run up tho required dls tance. Many of the London novelties were In tho cases of a Fifth avenue firm of to bacconists, and In the windows of other establishments could be seen new Im portations. TJiey aro In different colors.

FUArfK I'AItNUM Uy .MAKGAItKT JIUlllJAUI) AVUH. "Men aro greater flirts than women, and the older they get, tho worse they are." There is a challenge to tho sox from Mrs, Frank Farnum, wlfo of ex-Hcnator Farnum of Illinois. MrK Farnum was asked to glvo her opinion on the poor little American flirt, who has been recently roasted to a neat crisp In the public prints, no less u per son than Frof. lirlggs of Radollffe -college having called her unclou and tven worse. 'The natural woman might bo called a flirt," said Mr. Farnum, "because she's perfectly uticontelous of how she Is af fecting people n her natural deslro to ; pleaue." And Mrs, Farnum turned a pair of very I large fine brown eyes upon tho writer, and her animated fucc sparkled with high spirit. Though she Is the mother of one boy who la over six feet nnd another almost as tall, her youthful appearance and vl vaclous manner, besides her very beauti ful Voice, which Is frequently heard In Chicago at concert!, mako her one of the most popular society women of the Windy City. "And then, too, tho gill who has trav eled abroad knows thut she must 'keep her eyes In front' when she Is on the street; foreigners do not understand tho unconsciousness of the young American Kiel's gaze, and they do not realize that her admiring glunco Is dlrcotod much to tho landscape and not wholly to them selves. Hometlmes, especially If she does not know their language, n mere man bo comes merely purt of tho view to the un sophisticated tourist. "Another reuson why girls do not flirt as much un thoy used to, Is becaute tho modem young woman Is not afruld of men any more, for sho Is mentally oquul to thorn. To fusclnato u mun nhe now Uses her Intelligence, where some years ago sh had to resort to thi" art of coquetry alone. "Then thero Is nnother. thing. Flirting Is largely h matter of a girl's nppcurunce. Tho little brown wron-IIko gr, who sel dom ItfUs Iter oj'ch and Is us demure an nny little mouse may he, Is nn arch flirt, an out-und-iiuter," the kind tit President Hrlggs mentions. I!ut sho can get away with It; nobody notices her. "llut take tho girl with the great hlg ryes, with a great deal of Animation, who Is full of the Joy of living and exuberantly , cnthUNlastlc over mun, woman nnd bonst alio will bo marked down as a flirt In no time. "A Blrl like that has only to open her big eyes ond look from n shop ulndow to a main passerby, and he nt once suc cumbs und puts her down for something that she litis nn Ideu of being. "It's part of tho American girls' rights to flirt when sho Is young, but the great irounio is inai no one grows old nny more. Why. I was walking down the street today with a friend of mine, it woman much past 40. Fifteen years or so ago a woman of that age wpuld huvo worn a tilncl; dress and a bonnet. Today she had on a smart tulloted suit, a cun nlug tailored hat, her hair was done In a most becoming fashion, and while she hadn't tho slightest Intention 6f attracting any one's notice, every man who passed looked at her. "Years ar this woman would .probably not .have been physically equal to a long walk at her uge, and she would certainly have evoked no masculine admiration at all. "Women dress so skillfully nowadays; they walk so well, and there l attraction In everything they do? I don't care what people say about the present fashions, I think the are charming. The llttl tailor niado girl of today Isn't half as "flossy" looking as the "coine-lnto-the gardon-Maud".,klnd of n girl, who was The housemaids of Clovoland, O., have, formal a union, and they nro greatly exercised over tho question, "Hhall wc or nhall wo not consent to recelvo our gentlemen friend In tho kitchen?" a o o d for the Housemaids' union -I believe In It. Better hours, bet ter pay and better sleeping rooms I hope tho Iioufc mulds will get nil these things. Why not? Uut about this kitchen business.

And If so, when did IU ait graceful dishonor begin? Ugly? A good, wholopomo, clean, bright, cheerful kitchen? Why. to my mind It's tho prettiest room In tho house. What's ugly about a shining floor, and clean curtains, and a bright range and rows of good cooking dishes? I've seen donzens of little reception rooms, with stiff little girl chairs In them, and a stiff, beroslcd carpet on the floor, .and a stiff girl mirror .on tha soloinn walls that weren't half so pfetty as, & kitchen to my eyes. What's wrong with tho kltchcn7 Why should any girl bo ashamed to boo hnr best joung man In tho placo It Is her prlflo to keep spotless and shilling?

Seems to ine If I could cook woll enough to hold u good pluco I'd bo proud of It, not ushamcd, nnd wliUper, gentle maidens of tho HousemHldH' union, I never noticed any aversion to tho kitchen on tho part of any man I evor met. , Tho average woman has to nrguo with her husband by day and by night to keep him from making somo excuse to got out Into the kitchen, Don't send your young man away frou the kltohon, nontlo flllda or sweet Elloin. Load him light In and see how mild and tamable tho sight of that shiny rango und thoso rovs of delectable spices will make him. If I had a young man who was a little slow coming to tho point of talking nbout tho flat, I'd never see him unywhoro but In my kltohon, and I'd weur a good, big, clean, serviceable kitchen npron when 1 saw ilni, too. Oh, yes, the tube skirts and tho elab orate hntr aro well unough to catch his vagrant eye, hut whop you. want to really enchain him, give him n doughnut tA your conking, or a dozen enkes or so with rnlslns In them, and wntcti tho caution nnd tho reserve melt from his manner like snow In the spring sunshine, Olo Isn't all for modnllght plcnleo and moving picture shows, Hilda; ho Just nets that way to please you. What Olc re-nll-' takes .'an Interest In Is a good flrn on n cool evening, a comfy scat by It and something good to oat. Xty this necro mancy shall you hold him captive, no matter what yellow-haired siren tries to nteal his heart from you. The Manicure Lady 'I was reading a funny thing tho other day about Mister Hlr Walter Hcott," said the Manicure Lady, "It told how ho met Mister Tiyron when Ilyron culled him Mister Scott, ho suld, "Cal me, Walt, kid; call ho Walt." I ain't Interested much In them poets," said the Head Hurber, "because I hoar so much about the stuff that your brother Is all tho time writing. I its so used to listening to poetry that T am beginning to dodgn uny sentence that begins with a capital loiter nnd ends with a rhynio." "The only reason I mentioned t, klddo," said the Manlcuro Lady, "was to show that oven tho poots knows, how to bo as democratic as Mister Wilson. You know a lot of people think that because a man can make up verses he Is going around all the tlmo with his head up In tho air muklng a nolso llko on eurthquake. Noth ing lould be no farther from the trbth than that, Ucorge. Wilfred Is. one of tho mot democratic fellows that you, ever aeon. Of courne, I don't mean to say that he. Is ns great a poet as a man llko Mister Hlr Walter ficott, but I will say that tho poor kid has some means of making up rhymes, llko I was stroll ing In the park and It almost broke my heart when from her I had to go, for It left her all alone. That's the kind of a poet that Wilfred Is, George, but Just tho same he's my brother, und If anybody around hero Is going to knock his poetry 1 guess It will have to be mo. He wouldn't rest easy If he thought one or you barbers was picking any flaws In his orsos." "I don't care one way or the other," said tho Head Hurber, wearily, "I hud un unco once in Arizona that used to wrlto some verBcs. Him and his brother h.id a ranch together. Ho did tho rorse . writing fpr the firm nnd his, brqth.cr did the work. H worked oil right for a, little while, becaiwu the ono that wroto the versss kept bulling the other brother that somo flno day ono of tho magazines would buy enough of his verses to help him buy another ranch. The pocma kept coming back llko ono of them there boomerangs, and nt last the brother that was doing all the work took a good healthy kick at tho brother that was writ ing all the poetry, and the partnership dissolved. I doVt say that poetry writ ing ain't a grand urt, If you call get n little sugar, tor tho sweet thoughts that you write, but somehow or other It seems to mo that the undo who did nil tho work around tho ranch was a lot more useful thnn the guy that was wasting a good fountain pen." "Woll, you havo talked quite a while," said tho Manlcuro Lady. "Now let mo say a few words. I think poets Is kind of, useful sometimes. Tha old gout has went Into the canned goods business, and Wlltrod has wrote him eight poems about the special brands of canned stuff that father Is going to see. One of the verses goes; "All of Johnson's goods aro canned, and their flavor Is simply grand," That ain't bad." said tho Head Barber "You bet It ain't," declared tho Manl curo Lady. "You see, George, brother has been, canned so often that Is cpmes nat ural to him to write about canned goods. ' mm 13 "People are always mixing up the two all undress ruffles and streamers, put on JdeuH of fascination and flirting," said t to attract the attontlon of men by the Mrs. Farnum, who undoubtedly belongs to tho fascinating class of women. "Now, It's a woman's prerogative, al most her duty to be fascinating. Flirting might be called the process of fascina tion with mallca aforethought. "There Isn't as muoh flirting as thero whh some' years ago, which Is largely due, 1 think, to two things. First, our girl travel more, and the large Increase In foreign population makes them more careful and more circumspect In public than they used to be. girl who was young In the nineties. "The- fact thut wornen dross so much alike and in so practical a wuy shows that they dress for themselves and not for men. And the girl of today Is so In dependent and so ell-pot&eitcd that the attention and admiration she evokes is of u higher order nnd of nu entirely dif fident kind from what It used to be. "Men may say they don't admlro the Independent airs of the modern girl, but Just look at them! Why. of course, they do," concluded the. charming Chlcagoan. , MAN' AJSO TELE SOU- nr. R V.
