A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
ANINTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
wOmanhood. Following is an instance: our
daughter. Blanche, now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons ain fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affiictiOn. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but rs pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs LOG pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health
DR.. Miles Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy
/ had no faith in patent medicines, and would
not listen to him. but as q last resort he sent VS.
a bottle, we began giving it TO Blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate. Mrs. r. K.

Keeping Jams.

A not infrequent cause of preserves
growing moldy is that the jars in which
they are kept are not perfectly dry when
the fruit is put into them. The jars put
away from last year will necessarily be
dusty and require washing, and it too
often happens that the jars are washed
the same day the jam is made. One may
imagine they are dried with cloth, but
probably a slight dampness remains,
which is enough to cause the best boiled
preserves to turn moldy, even if kept in
a dry place. Have jars washed in very
hot water the day before they are used,
and after drying with a cloth, put down
in trayfuls before the kitchen fire to do
away with the possibility of damp. They
should then be set aside in the kitchen
until the next day, covered to keep out
the dust.-St, LomS Globe Democrat.

Bank President Annie MOOres.

Mrs. Annie Moores, the only woman
president Of u national bank, has rather
had her greatness thrust upon her. 1'he
banking institution known as the First
National bank of Mount Pleasant, Tex.
of which she is the presiding officer, was
originally private banking house, and
obedient to the wish of her father and
brother, who controlled it, she familiar
lied herself with all the details of It's
workings. Later, when it came into her
hands national bank concern, it was
with some misgivings that she stepped
into the white light of publicity as its
head. 1t is pleasure to record that the
ordeal has been wholly satisfactory, and
even during the recent financial crisis
the credit of the Mount Pleasant bank
has stood unimpeached. AS it is situated
In a cotton district, its business is of con-
siderable volume, and it is high praise
for its head that it has safely weathere
the late stormy money times.

The sins of the fathers, in connection
with liquor drinking, are visited on the
children to the third and fourth genera.
ton to a greater extent than with most
other sins. Recently in England about
$4,000 children in connection with 1906
schools were examined by competent
physicians, and over 80 per cent of them
were suffering from physical or mental
effects attributed mainly to the drinking
habits of their parents. If all the chill
dren of all the schools of the country
were examined and truthful report
furnished, what terrible Indictment it
would make against business sane

All these thousands and thousands of
children must go through life impaired
and in many instances ruined, not be-
cause of any fault of their own. The
loss to the whole country because of such
defective citizens is tremendous. And
yet some will persist in claiming that if
man drinks it is his own business. In
dealing with the temperance question
we are not to think only of the drunkard

Optional Hospitality.

Many a pretty little home has been
broken up and the domestic Lares and
Penates scattered to the four winds be-
cause, as the young folks ruefully put it,
1--WE We're simply run to death with COM
pany." Visitors are costly luxuries, and
In homes where every expense has to be
calculated down to the finest detail an
extra one or two meals or to spend few
days beneath the rooftree means an out
lay that sometimes makes severe inroads
into the little store laid up for rainy
day.
Young housekeepers in the flush Of
their first month or so of happiness in
their new home will invite their friends
unfortunately to come and see them
and argue with themselves in an incon-
sequent and generous fashion that what
is enough for two will amply supply
any additional ones that may drop in for
luncheon or dinner.
This sort of thing is all right once in
awhile. A home would not he homei if
it were not the place where one could
receive friends and show to those out
side the ken of the domestic circle what
delightful thing it is to have ones own
little house. Yet when visitors come in
droves, bringing trunks that indicate a
lengthy stay, the worried housekeeper
soon discovers that the allowance for the
table does not go half so far, and that
the bills at the grocer's and butchers
run up with alarming rapidity.
If one is rich, of course, this added eX-
pense is of no consequence, but it is not
to them that we speak, but to those who
wish to be hospitable, but whose purse
limits them on this line as well as many
others. In order to obviate much of the
trouble that comes from an overdose OF
company, the hostess should, at the be
ginning, tell her friends that when she
is ready for them she will invite them
and when this time arrives she should il
her own gracious, womanly way lei
them know how long stay she has
made preparations for. The casual Wis
itor, or those who drop in for evening
calls are, of course, not included in this
1t is only those who come for days at {
time, and if they are as friendly as they
profess to be they will understand thu
motive in their invitation and will b.
kind hearted and considerate enough t
regard it to the letter.
Such plan as this, if adopted an(
followed with thorough understanding
ON both sides, would make home life fa
more pleasant and prove that optiona

She Gathered In Depew.

Chauncey M. Depew was passing
along the corridor of the parlor floor at
the Auditorium the other afternoon
about two o'clock, and noticing large
number of handsome young ladies in
the south parlor, with mans curios-

his brisk step to dead march and

lady exclaimed: "Why, there's Mr..

seized his two hands, and before the
noted orator could recover from
his surprise his handsome young captor

Society and the College Girl.

Too often the college gnl feels out
of touch socially. 1t is hard for her to
find her exact place. Yet the college
woman, of all others, should be lead
ing social power, since she ought to be
able to add much to current life. There
is also vital responsibility involved,
for college girl not only returns, in
some instances, to home where social
leadership is hers by right, but when
see mariies her husband is, in many
cases, a man of distinct prominence
and wide Influence, and she should be
adequate for the new position which
she holds as his wife. The social diff
culties of college girls usually arise
from one of two causes. In few
cases they do not care for society, and
scorn it outright; Others do care for it,
but are so alarmingly earnest, and
Qrom the ordinary point of view) so
lntimidalingly learned, that they are
somewhat unmanageable socially; be-
tween them and the world at large
there is an awkward constraint. The
girls of the fist sort are making a
serious mistake personally. More
than that, they are selfishly casting dis
credit on their training, and are max
ing life hard for all other college girls.

ROtted off by Beer.

This is not IA temperance treatise, but
it has bit of fact in it that the total aD-
stainer may show to the beer drinker
whenever occasion offers. The attention
of the New York hospital surgeons has
been called to the big number of bar
tenders that have lost several fingers
from both hands within the past few
years. The first case was that of an en-
ployee of "a bowery concert hail. Three
of the fingers of his right hand and two
of his left were rotted away when he
called at Bellevue one day and begged
the doctors to explain the reason. He
said that his duty was to draw beer for
the thousands who visited the garden
nightly. Tne man was in perfect health
otherwise, and it took the young doctors
quite time to arrive at any conclusion.
But they did finally, and it nearly to- k

A Chic Hair Bow.

One of the prettiest uses for ribbons
this season will be in the hair, as the
Greek fillet, with its knot on one side
near the front, or still more fashionable
as the smart cockade bow, showing three
ends cut out in points and two loops.
All these bows for the hair must stand
up in the most pronounced manner, and
the first lesson to learn by one desiring a
change of couture is how to tie this chic
bow. Double faced satin ribbon is the
kind used-l3 ne es wide.

novel adventure. While returning from
Australia to Singapore the steamer
topped two days among the pearling
fleet on the great pearling grounds of the

- He's in this room" His dreamy, clear.
Large eyes looked round for God;
In vain they search, in vain they peer
His wits are all abroad.
- He is not here, mammal No, no;

He's not in the shadows, is hep So
His doubtful accents fall
Fall on my heart, no babble mere
They rouse both love and shame.

And home the shadows flee,
In my dim room even yet l take
