STRIVING TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES.

or the year before, but did not give up

had annually picked with her had duck.

1t is not easy work to gather cranber-
ries. None but the shortest OF mortals
can do the work without going ON the
knees. This is very wearying to those
Indispensable parts of the human anat-
omy and very wearing ON skirts and
trousers. The picker Of short stature
who stoops at the picking saves the knee
WEAKNESS and the wear and tear of
raiment, but is generally affected
with what the Cod pickers call a
"crick" and the Jersey pickers a
misery in the back that more than
makes up. Pickers who gather from the
wild boys can ordinarily sell their
pick for about 80 cents a bushel and
can pick from two to four bushels in a
day. The latter quantity is exceptional,
however. Pickers on cultivated Dogs are
paid by the measure, receiving a ticket
for each measure and ''cashing i'm at
the weeks end. The women are not
able, as a rule. to pick as many cram
berries as the men, owing to their lesser
strength; but. especially in Jersey, they
are apt to finish the season with more
money. because they gamble less and
spend less.

in Q gang OF pickers is likely to lessen
the tendency to roughness. On the cape,

picking side by side.
On most cultivated Dogs there is an
overseer who follows after the pickers
and urges them to hasten In their work,
Tor it Is to the interest Of the grower to
get the crop harvested as early In the
season as possible. There is sometimes

A Gard,

To the voters Of Lake County.
Since it has been reported through
certain papers Of this county that we
have sen beer and other liquor into the
country, and have furnished money to
buy beer and liquor for the purpose of
influencing voters to vote for us at the
coming election, we do hereby absolutely
and uDqualitiedly deny each and every
such charge, and state that nothing OF
the kind has been done by either OF us,
or by any one for US with our knowledge
or consent. j. Fl. WILLIAMSON.

New Jersey, but now the latter stats
produces about as many al Ill other
cranberry growing sections Of the Unit
ed States combined, fully 5000 acres
Of the total Of IL, 900 acres under culti-
walton being located in Ocean and ad-
joining counties. The total American
output is about 800, 900 bushels, New
York. Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore
and Milwaukee being the great markets.
Some years the export trade in cranber-
ries is very large, the American crop
being eagerly bought in England, France
and the West Indies. E~ngland's supply
was formerly furnished almost exclu-
sively from the Dogs of Lincolnshire and
Norfolk, but tho fruit there grown Is
only the common wild cranberry, much
inferior to the full, round, juicy Amer
lean berry. When the English cannot
get cranberries from the United States,
they have to take up with those from
Sweden and Russia.
The cranberry harvest is now ON. It
furnishes plenty of work TO many hands
for O brief period every autumn, and o
large proportion Of the persons SO en-
ployed are industrious only during the
few weeks Of the gathering. This cir
cumstance has called into being q more
or less distinct class, known as ''the
cranberry pickers, /" whose characters
tics are very similar to those Of ''the
hop pickers. This class is much more
in evidence in the Jersey boys than ON
the cape" where a very considerable
portion Of the h~arvesters are Cape God
folks, - simple. sincere creatures Of old
New England stock. In Jersey, howev-
er, there are negroes a-plenty from near
and far. and of late years there are
many Italians. With both these GLASSES

whereas the Cape Codders are steady
and sober and devoted to their work.
Among the Jersey pickers, too. there ia
far more Of roistering and carousing and
fighting, especially ON the wild boys"
where the berries are the property Of
whoever seizes them first.
Women as well as men pick cranber-
ries both in New Jersey and ON the cape,
but the feminine type known as the
queen Of the bog lourishes best and
possibly only in New Jersey. She is
usually q strapping Italian woman,
though sometimes q quadroon or mulatto
and in n or two instances a full blood
ed negress. Besides being endowed with
q certain rough comeliness she who
would rule o bog must be possessed Of
great physical strength, for there are
times when her right to reign will be
disputed by force. One such who had

Life.

My old friend, the Indian slayer, who
used to intimidate Old-Hand- Full of
Clouds and the rest of his tribe, has lived
in Minneapolis for few years back and
has a charming little home not far from
Forest avenue.
The neighbOrhOod is q pleasant one, and
my old friend is a great favorite, especial
ly with the children
One of our neigh bOrs has cute little son,
just old enough to ask hard questions and
make embarrassing remarks before COM
pany, and who is noted for his neat Faunt-
leroy appearance
He dropped in on my old friend the 9TH
er day, and sitting down quietly folded
his hands and seemed waiting for some
troublesome ideas TO form themselves in
his mind.
Finally he looked up and asked, ''Say,
do look dirty?''
''Why, no. said my old friend, whom
we will call captain for short.
well, were awfully poor anyway"
The captain said he was sorry, but that
most people were feeling the hard times
1--WE haven't even got horse
The captain expressed his sympathy
and said there were lots of people in the
same fix.
And we haven't got a COW neither
This evoked some other sympathetic re-
ply from the captain
And we haven't got any pigs
1t was getting somewhat InOnOtonOus
but still the captain made a proper re-
Spouse.
And we haven't even got a dog or a
cat
This the captain endeavored to make
him think was a blessing, but the child
continued:
And we haven't got any hens or chick
ens.''
At this the captain began to think the
young man was not sufficiently cOgnizant
of the blessings he had, and SO he thought
he would call the lads attention to some
of the things he had to be thankful for, SO
he got the floor and commenced:
but, my son, think how much you
have that a good many little boys do not
have. There is your good mother, who
loves you so dearly and would do anything
to make her little boy happy
Yes" interrupted the little fellow,
''but I'd rather she were hen, and then
she could lay eggs for US to eas-"
This was too much for the captain, and
he retired from the field, convinced that
in the present mood at least his words
would have but little efect.-NinneapOl

THE FASHION PLATE.

Pretty summer dresses are made of
cream tinted indian muslins embroid-
cred in delicate colors.
Pink beiges, cornfiower, blue and red,
with a violet tinge which softens its
tone, are very fashionable colors.
Tyrolese is the name of hat with an
indented crown which is to supersede
the sailor. 1t is trimmed with broad
black ribbon band ard a stiff bow and
two quilts at one side.
Two flexible steels are sometimes put
in the edge of dress skirts to give them
the desired flare, and a plated f1ounce
of stiff muslin is added at the waist to
throw the fullness out.
Ribbons are the one special feature
of decoration ON thin gowns, and the
latest Partisan fancy is to have bow,
with long ends which reach nearly to
the hem of the skirt, fastened at one
side of the yoke.
A novel way to freshen a white silk
gown is to cover it with tunic of col
ored transparent gauze. 1t can be made
in one piece, finished around the neck
with a full bertha and drawn in at the
waist with belt
The silk petticoat has become an ar
ticle of artistic elegance, made of rich
brOcades and MORE silks and trimmed
with lace covered rufTles and hounces of
chiffon, and is almost as important an
item Of dress as the gown which is
worn over 1T.
Tulle cravats are worn with the tul1e
trimmed hats and are made with two
large rosettes, instead of the, bow which
has prevailed so long An extreme fancy
for giving breadth to the revers and
keeping them in place is carried out by
putting q slender whalebone in the up
per edge.-New York Sun

ERT- ert has devised
system of ''model homes which will
not only diminish the expense and labor
of housekeeping, but increase the COM
forts and conveniences of home.
Mrs. Coleman Stuckert has been ex-
planning her system to the faculty of
Chicago university, and they Will prob
ably give the plan trial Other COM
munities of Chicagoans are also inter
ested in the scheme, and we are likely
TO soon have in the Lake City one or
more practical exemplifications of the
''model homes theory. This is Mrs
Coleman-Stuckert' plan, briefly ex-
planned:
Around the outside of a block of land
are to be erected Al houses, all connect
ed SO as to form a square of buildings,
with fronts of pressed brick and stone
trimmings, tastefully constructed and
varied in style of architecture. Each
house will have either two or three
stories, and none will be more than two
rooms deep, so as to afford ample light
and abundant fresh air. In the central
court will be erected a large two story
building, where will be located the
kitchen, laundry and cold storage plant
and the dynamo and improved heating
apparatus for supplying electric Light
and steam heat for the A homes. On
the second floor of this building will be
a kindergarten, and a library, and a
large hall, which can be utilized for
many purposes
The ''1nodel homes will all be con-
nected with the central building by
speaking tubes or telephones, and an
electric conduit for carrying the ham
pers to and from the kitchen. The
7-ofr1co and dirty 6iSIac Wi II 1ea ro77t
TO the central kitchen to be washed, I'M
less the families own handsome china
ware, in which case it will remain in
the home, where it can be washed in
portable sink provided for the purpose.
Thus the housewife is spared the worry
and trouble of preparing her own meals
and washing the dishes. The central
building is to be provided also with
large dining hall, where those who pre-
fer to do SO can eat their meals, and
where large dinner parties can be given
The cook, the engineer, the laundry
man, the electrician and their assistants
will all be trained experts in their re-
spective lines, as the community can
afford to pay good salaries for their serv-
ices. Large and comfortable sleeping
rooms, ETC., will be provided in the cen
trail building for the skilled employees
The space inclOsed by the block of
houses and on either side of the central
building can be used for lawn tennis
and croquet grounds. And around the
inside plat of ground will be a raised
promenade, which viii he provided with
rustic seats here and there, and on the
corners of which Will be erected small
summer houses.
The affairs of this model community
will be managed by board of directors
elected by the home owners. According
to Mrs. Stuckert, all the comforts of the
finest private homes can be enjoyed for
less than half the usual cost for the
same kind of service. She claims that
the table expenses, with a very liberal
bill of fare will amount to but 50 per
capita per week
