the burden of his entire canvass was
upon his own shoulders. He did not
have the cooperation of a single
capitalist who was willing TO put up
money on the result. Butter is strong
on some points, and weak in others,
and one of the latter is his fataliStic
belief ia his own destiny. He was
thoroughly deluded with the idea that
he was to be the next president,
and he made his campaign
OUTLAWS with the most
Lavish hand. Bills for special railway
trains, speakers, newspapers and club
expenses were paid without stint.
Buffers belief was that he would get
enough votes in the electoral college
to hold the balance of power, and
then seize the coveted prize. His
small vote was the disappointment of
his life, and must have a crushing
effect on him. As to his expenses, /
could name one Boston bank from
which he borrowed $4,000 during
the campaign, and anesher where he
got 100000. 1t is quite certain that
his vaulting ambition cost him total
of 1926, 900. The S95, 600 which he
borrowed on his Washington prop
erty is merely a part of his aggregate
outlay"

Learning Homework

IF mothers educated their daughters
to think more honorably of house
work, we would not have so many
inefficient housekeepers, but if the
mother is efficient in the control oil
her home, she had rather do the
work than have the trouble of teach
her daughters, forgetting that this
is an injustice to them as well as to
herself, and she can no more neglect
this part of her education than she
can neglect their education from
books, and they should be taught to
understand that to be an adept in the
art of sewing, plain or otherwise, is
as great an accomplishment as music
and painting; not that underrate
these latter accomplishments, but I
consider the former as equal to them,
and 1t seems strange that mothers
are SO blind to this most essential part
of their daughters education.
When we contemplate the many
unhappy homes made so by the inca
pacity of their mistress, our best in
stincts convince us that the training
of our girls is absolutely wrong.
once heard farmers daughter say to
her mother the week before she was
married, II have never made loaf
of bread or cake" And she was
twenty three at the time, and her in
tended was farmer, and the mother
was well assured that the daughter
would have to be her own house
keeper.
But even in the case of dividing
the care Of the household with serv-
ants, the discipline is better when the
lady has a practical knowledge of
how things should be done. and the
length of time required in the per
Torrance of certain duties; if she has
a knowledge of these facts she will
be a more kind and patient mistress.
While [ believe that our girls
should be proficient in every depart
ment of learning, I think also that
they should be taught the Importance
of serving an apprenticeship in the
kitchen at the same time-Practica1

A PRETTY WOMAN'S EXPERIMENT
Proving that She WAS Attractive and
DemOnstra' ing that She Was Loyal.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

[ hold it to be a truth constantly
selfevident that every man will de-
fend woman against all men except
himself. II you hNvn't noticed it al
ready, you have only to look for it an
hour or so IN any place of mixture of
the sexes. Clap your eyes on a pretty
woman without male escort, and two
phenomena will be obvious. Firstly,
there Will be large amount of open
and covert staring a. her, to all Of
which her obliyiousness is, of course,
only assumed. Secondly, if one of
the starers happens to realize that
others are at the same game he will
manifest plainly his disgust
at such treatment of an
unprotected beauty, utterly
ignoring his own offense. A husband
and wife got into street car. The
man was somewhat dudish in dress.
The woman was under 90, and as
pretty AS nature and art are In the
habit of combining to produce. They
were chatting on the very subject that
I have here introduced.
"Percival, DEAR" said she, 81 will
prove TO you that I am right and take
promise not to get angry about 1t.
He closed the contract. Then she
drew herself up, as though the hus-
band sitting beside her was an entire
stranger, and waited for the car to
fill with passengers.
''Now," she whispered behind her
fan. "observe how [ am ogled when
alone"
Within five minutes he saw that a
dozen masculine passengers, from
hoary age TO callow youth, eyed his
bride with more or less audacity, and
several nanifestly would not have
needed the smallest beginning of a
wink on her part to seize upon her
then and there. That part of the ex-
hibitlOn was a triumph for the wife,
but the most curious feature of her ex-
pertinent remaining to be tried
You certainly do seem to attract
great deal Of admiration, said the
husband, supposlng tat the pretend
ed strangeness Was at an end. She
lifted her eyebrows ia simulated sur
prise, as though an impertinent fellow
had unwarrantedly accosted her, and
pointedly turned her face away from
him. He understands her now, and
did not speak to her further.
Next she drew her shoulder away
from contact with his. By this time
the spectators were believing that he
was annoying her dreadfully, and
scornful chances were aimed at him.
A man arose from the opposite side.
will you exchal ge seats with me2"
he very politely and gallantly SAID,
lifting his hat most deferentially.
Now he had been foremost among
the original oglers-the veriest sina-
pleton of them all.
Thank you, sir, she replied, ''but
[ prefer to sit beside my husband"
Thus with the same stone she killed
that yulture- bird and the dove mate
whom she had undertook to instruct
as to the philosophy of male gal
lantry.
