December 1926. His father having
died while Robert was still Young. the

In business for himself in Belvidere,
H., marrying in the following year

hshed an extensive mercantile business
IN Wilmington. A year later he started
the Wilmington Independent. In 1854
he was a delegate to the convention
held at Bloomington, H., that gave
name to the Republican party. Gov.
Waterman has always taken great in
terest in political affairs, without being
known as a politician, and has done eff
fect1ve campaign work during many
Presidential campaigns. During the
war, notwithstanding numerous and i'm
pOftanG duties at home, he enlisted more
than 1000 men and rendered good serv-
ice as bearer of dispatches to the front.

An Interasting Confest.'

The scheme of advertising recently
chosen by Louisville bOOk-hOuse has
proved remarkably successful. A list
of twenty questions concerning liter
arv matters, for the correct answers to
which prizes in books were offered,
was furnished to every applicant. The
plan was a new one in Louisville, and
it caught the popular fancy. Every
person who had any Pretension to liter
airy requirement entered the compe-
tition, and the 500 lists which had first
been printed proved inadequate to sup
ply the demand The contest became
town talk. and In the schOOl-rOOm, as
among children Of a larger growth, )"
the author of the "Centaur" and @Pen-
sylla" were the subjects Of discussion.
The enterprising booksellers, how
ever, are now paying dearly for their
extensive free advertising, for they
have on hand nearly 10000 pages Of
manuscript representing the research
Of over $50 persons. All of these but
five must be disappointed, and the
task of selecting the winners IS no easy

The proper materials for travelling
dresses are camelette, a lightweight

the old fabric; ladies' cloth, also light

early summer trade, and fine French fan

with box plated skirts, very simple
drapery in the back, and basques with
vests and cuffs to match whatever trim

has been some demand for accordion
skirts in mOhair, with silk blouses for
travelling dresses, but they catch the dust
and are too full and heavy, the light,

It is claimed that persons addicted
to the use Of alcoholic liquors can be
entirely cured by the new French
method of hypnot1sm. The patient is
hypnOtized and then told by the doc
tor that he must never want to drink
again, but must feel disgust for liz Tor.
This method Of treatment is said to be
successful in every instance. Mrs.

LITTLE FOLKS.


There sat a silly little lass
Upon a bed Of pOsies,
Her tears believed the summer grass
And twinkled on the roses.
Nov, why is all this grief ?H I said,
And all this dolefu1 crying2"
The maiden sadly shook her head,
And answered, softly signing;
All yesterday 1 Wept, said she,
And then this morning could sss
Twas quite without a reason;
So now 1 mourn the stupid way
In which i spent that lovely day
The fairesG of the seasOni
o dear-O dear-O dear-O dear
The fairest Of the season {"
So there she sat, the silly lass,
And nothing could content her;
The roses and the summer grass
No grain of comfort lent her;
Nor any word that could say
Would ease her dOleful crying.
Il can but weep for yesterday"
She answered, sadly signing
Twas all so fOOlish-that see
And that is not the worst, said she;
a IT'S not my greatest sOrrOW;
can not eaJ-I can not sleep
And all the day 1 weep, and weep
For fear III weep tomorrow

How Gladstone Reads.

Mr.. Gladstone usually has tbroo
books in reading at the same time and
changes from one to the other. when
MS mind has reached the limit of ab-
sorptlon. This is a necessary correc-
i've to the tendency to think only of
one thing at one time, which some
times lnpolitics leads him to neglect
mat all-round survey of the situation
Which IS indispensable to a prime min
lster. During the beginning of the
irish question in 1880 he was so absorb
ed IN the question of the coercion of
Turkey that he could hardly he in
duced to spare thought for Ireland .
now, now IL IS just as difficult to get him to
thlnk OF any political question but
that OF Ireland. He complains some
tunes that his memory is no longer
quite so good as it used to be. but ri
though that may be true, it is still
tWice as good as any body else's. for Mr..
GlaustOne has an extraordinary facuI-
" OF not only remembering those
thlhgs he ought to remember. but for
getting those things it is useless for
MIN 10 remember. His mind is Tins
unlncumbered with any unnecessary
top-hamper, and he can always. so TO
speak, lay his hand upon anything the
moment he wants it. This retentive
memory was no doubt born with him
nut 1t has been largely developed bv the
constant habit Of taking pains When
ne reads a book he does so pencil in
hand, marking off on the margin those
passages which he wishes to remember
querying those about which he is in
doubt, and putting cross opposite those
which he disputes. At the end of The
volume he constructs kind of index
oil his own which enables him to refer
to those things he wishes to remember
in the bOok.-The Critic.

Quite number of the children had

There have been also scores Of chill

been cured who have taken enough of
it. We have also two inmates of the
home, subject to painful recurring at
