Old Maid Greatness and Other Inter-

Friends Of II. L. C.-Owing to certain
circumstances, one Of which was being
away from home some time, have not
been with you lately.
Looking over some back numbers of

the subject Of old maid greatness is a
subject not to be sneezed at by any
means. If we look at it merely in the
literary line, we find her coming pretty
well to the fore. The past has given us

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder Has All the
Honors-In Strength and Value 20
g Per Cent. Above It's Nearest Com
petitOrs.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of it's class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-wherever eX-
hibited in competition with others. The
result at the Chicago Worlds Fair is no
exception. In the exhibitions Of former
wears. at the Centennial, at Paris, Wen
ma and at the various State and Indus
trial fairs, where it has been exhibited,
Judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Powder the highest hon
ors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exam
nations for the baking powder awards
were directed by the chief chemist Of
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington. The chief chemists official re-
port Of the tests of the baking powders,
which was made for the specific pur-
pose of ascertaining which was the best,
shows the leavening strength of the
ROYAL to be 100 cubic inches Of carbonic
gas per ounce of powder. OF the cream
of tartar baking powders exhibited the
next highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches Of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average OF
III. The Royal, therefore, was found of
20 per cent. greater leavening strength
than its nearest competitor, and A per
cent. above the average of all the other
tests It's superiority in other respects,
however. in the quality of the food it
makes as to fineness, delicacy and whole
someness, could not be measured by fig
ures
1t is these high qualities. known and
appreciated by the women of the country
for so many years, that have caused the
sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as
shown by statistics. to exceed the sale
of all other baking powders combined.

fers to Ancient Events.
II. L. c. Friends-These long wintry
evenings give us ample time to contrib
ute to the page often, and none should
be excused for lack of time. As soon
as our new officers are installed, and
even now, let each one of us strive to

1 would like TO have those members
who are interested in the study Of his
tory to give an outline of their method
of studying it. 1 am at present follow
ing the method of taking notes, and L
find il a very good one. A. b. Hart,
professor of history in the Harvard uni
versity in an article in the October
number of the Chautauquan speaks very
faVora bly, of the method of taking notes,
but he says that students should be
careful and not take too many. They
should be brief and so arranged that
you may have a general view Of the
subject. / take the index and select out
such subjects as seem to have the most
bearing the subject, though all the
other matter is read very carefully. Prof
Hart also says to avoid wars and ru-
mors of wars; but IL seems to me that
some wars are such factor in the his
tory of country that to omit them
would leave a cavity which could not
be otherwise filed. After taking these
brief notes 1 copy them carefully on the
typewriter and arrange the matter in
a consecutive form. You then have a
short synopsis of the history, and in
simply rerea1ing 1t from time to time
the matter will be firmly fastened on the
mind Every student knows that the
easiest way to remember anything is TO
copy it several times, and in this lies
the advantage Of note-taking in the
study of history.
In Gibbons History Of the Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire" you see the
sad picture of the gradual decline Of
the greatest confederacy of the ancient
and perhaps the modern world It
seems impossible to enumerate the
prime causes of the downfall of Rome
but the long continued peace after the
reigns of the Caesars, in which the val
orous and indefatigable armies which
had carved out this great empire were
allowed to subsist In idleness and lux
ury, caused general decline of courage
and genius. Crime, superstition and ig-
noT'ance. the desmoyers of ancient gov
ernments, were at work, and rock by
rock, piece by piece, and pillar by pillar
this grand structure was RACED to the
ground. From time TO time valiant lead
ers would gain control Of the throne,
and by their armies would once more re-
store the, empire to its ancient bounda-
ries, but upon their death dozens of
usurpers would strive for the dangerous
position of emperor and rend the empire
by their civil wars. The barbarians sur
rounding the Roman world were at last
excited with the hopes OF plumber, and

1ne
While in the quiet of his home so dear,
Chicago's honored magistrate in chief,
Enjoying from the days care respite
brief,
With naught portending that should waken
A caller bold with heart disguised drew
near,
And without warning flashed beyond re-
lief
The instrument that bowed that home in
grief.
And ended Mayor Harrison's career.
A pistol shot alarm the foul deed told;
Friends sought the fallen victims side:
Into the street, with scarce concern, the
bold
Assassin took his way; and far and wide
Pale lips and trembling wires the tidinss
spread
That great Chicago's honored chief was
dead.
Into lifes calm was sent the painful word
That Weakened grief and sorrow every
where;
AS startling as a pistol crack in air
The painful news of how one rashly erred
From heart to heart was sped till all had
heard,
And with deep grief as human hearts
can bear.
The city like a sea of life was stirred.
The loved and honored one was laid in
state,
The while that surg1ng sea Of life trailed
past,
There in the solemn pose Of death TO wait
Till all the sorrowing had looked their
last;
Then on the cortege passed with solemn
tread
To Graceland, where the last sad rite
was said.

POLITICAL POINTS.

A Few Straws which Show the Way of
the Wind
Surprises may be looked for from unex-
pected quarters. The Republicans will be
more than pleased.
State Chairman Gilllyson is working with
his sleeves rolled up. Philadelphia viii roll
up an unprecedented majority for the tariff
party. The shut down of Dobsons mills is
the last straw
The Democratic candidates in this county
do not seem to trust their chairman, as but
few of them have paid him their assessments
"What is the matter with the Unions?' was
asked by one Democrat of another the other
day. They are all right (for the Republicans
this year.
The P opulsts will have little use for their
Democratic ally after this, The Democrats
always look out for No l. Having succeeded
in carrying the country with the aid of the
Populists they have no further use for them.
But, then, there is another day coming.
When the poor, deluded workingmen 90
to the polls to vote this year they will not
stand much tafy from the party that has
brought about poor times, No more rooster
diet for them.
Look out for the National plums after the
election. They are about ripe and ready to
fall. Congressman Reilly will give the tree a
shake about that time.
DR.. Dechert, the Republican candidate for
Treasurer, was in town again last evening
doing good work. If there is more con-
fident man in politics than the Doctor we

ment of the man who was injured, and if the
railroad company was not placed in a proper
light the company itself is to blame because
of its orders which prohibits its employees
giving any information concerning accidents.
The newspapers are expected by the public to
get the news, and if the railroad employees
must have their mouths sealed when given
an opportunity 10 put themselves right no
blame can be attached to the newspapers if
only one side of the story is given Some of
the most eminent writers in the country

companies, but it has had no effect and we
hardly expect our efforts in that direction to
bear much fruit We will continue trying to
CLEAN the news and when we run up against
the obstacle placed in our way by the rail-
