On JUNE 9TH, 1900, died
PATRICK HENRY, the author of
the famous sentence, "Give me
liberty, or give me death"
He was the leader of the radi-
cal patriots of Virginia, and it
was his impassioned eloquence
which famed into flame there
the opposition to the Stamp Act.
WASHINGTON appointed him
Secretary of State, but he de-
clined this and many other
distinctions.
It is gratifying to know that the
public appreciate efforts made in
their behalf.
We are told almost every day that
our Children's Department excels all
other efforts in the city, particularly
for small children.
It's difficult to decide which are
the prettiest patterns, as some dozen
styles claim first place. Dainty
Scotch and Cheviot mixtures, Jerseys
and thin washable goods; also the
Clay Worsted and Tricots for dress.
See the assortment and we'll tell you
the price of each.

with half a pound of sausage meat, and
with this stuff the body of the bird; lard

half. Twenty-Five minutes before dishins
prepare another pound of chestnuts in the

pint of good broth, and let them stew
gently until quite done. Strain the gravy
from the chestnuts, add to them gill OF

Country Home I'm Favor.

During the past few years there has
been constant drift of families from the
cities into the small country places. Peo-
pie with regular but moderate incomes
have discovered that life in New York
gives but small returns in daily comfort
for the sum it cost them to live here.
They are heavily taxed even for Gods air
and sunshine fiat with call light
rooms being very expensive possession.
Hence the movement toward the country
towns-and hence the growing beauty,
conveniences and comfort Of these places.

into an imperative duty. But look at the

that do not receive due appreciation. BY
their aid in removing little dust here

Children should Not be Allowed to Take
Cold Feet To bed.

Children should never be allowed to 60

have instructions always to feel the feet of

Cold feet may mean nothing, and then
again they may be the precursor OF some
serious illness. Another source of danger

which strike chill through the body and
cause great discomfort. A woman of ex-
