that many women welcome showery

is in its warmth. For cold, clustering

Cleveland omitted one very import
ant matter in his message to congress.
and that is to demand Of those bodies
the abrogation of the rule or custom
that calls for the adjournment of either
or both for Il whole day sin respect to
the memory OF deceased member, }"
especially at tirhe when public inter
ests demand the utmost promptitude in
enacting relief legislation. No good
purpose is served by such a custom.
Brief eUlosiums, the adoption of resolu-
lions of respect and the adjournment of
the body an hour earlier than the regu-
lar time are sufficient to satisfy a rea-
sonable sentiment and proper regard
for decency. These observations are
suggested by the action of the house,
Tuesday, in adjourning until Thursday
on account of the suggested death of q
member. The senate set precedent the
day before along the line we have sug-
gested, but it was ignored by the house.

One of the most troublesome things to

of advice: One OF the ways to protect
the cows from the torture of this fiy is
this: Prepare a mixture as follows:
Three quarts OF train oil, one quart Of
petroleum and one ounce of carbolic
acid Half a pin; of this is enough for
a dozen cows, and one application a

man has been met at the door as he
walked out of the Kansas state peniten-

in custody on another charge. This is
probably right enough in the stern I'M

help wishing that some of these unfor-
tunate devils who had been exemplary
prisoners could be given an opportunity

after they had filled two big bags with
groceries ready to carry away, because

watermelons that they had found in one
corner of the store. His overpowering
love for the luscious watermelons is
something that no genuine negro ever
