An Eve With Leg3,

"Depend upon it, children" said
the benignant old gentleman who was
addressing the Sunday school, "we are
fashioned by wiser power than our
selves. There was no mistake made
in putting us together. If our hands
were placed where our feet are and our
feet where our hands are, how could
we get along? It would be exceeding
ly awkward, children; exceedingly
awkward. l stretch my hand out this
way. l move my fingers this. Now,
what is it an evidence of, children?"
There was no reply, and after waiting
a moment the speaker answered the
question himself. cit is an evidence
of design. Don't forget that, chill
dren,' he continued, impressively. cit
is an evidence of design. Suppose
for instance, my eyes, instead of having
lids and lashes, had legs. How could
l use them?' "You could use them
in running your eye over the congre-
cation, couldn't your" replied deep
ly interested little boy near the door.

history. Her work was done SO we'll
that not a suggestion of mismanage-
ment or lack Of tact was ever heard
during the campaign. 1t seems that
she had the united support Of all the
women. Her nomination, therefore,
was foregone conclusion before the
state convention met.
During the campaign Mrs Peavey
travelled over the entire state organ
izing the women and urging them by
parlors to take up the duties of citizen
ship in public spirited manner. She
seldom made stump speeches; she pre-
ferred to talk business to the women
in these parlor conferences. What
the result of her work and that of the
republican women has been, the cleo
ton returns have demonstrated.
= The women who are to take part in
the exciting contest over the selection
of United States senator to succeed
Wolcott and who are to demonstrate
their abilities as lawmakers are Mrs.
Clara Cressingham, Mrs. Francis
Klock, and Mrs Carrie Clyde Holly.
Two of these ladies are New Workers
and the other is from Wisconsin.
Mrs. Cressingham was born in Brook
Ign, on Oct. 6, 1868, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seth w. Howard, who
lives at 275 Tenth street, South Brook
lyn. She was educated in the public
schools of that city and early showed
an aptitude for music as we'll as some
talent as reader. She made a most
favorable impression in public during
the campaign. She is ready speaker,
most winning and attractive in man
ner, and seems to possess clear vision
of public affairs. In 1883 she was
married to Mr. w. H. Cressingham,
who had just returned from an ex-
tended visit to China and Japan. AS q
result of that journey his health was
impaired, and he removed with his
family to Denver in 1890. He is now
operator of Morgenthaler type-set-
ting machine in a newspaper office.
Mr.. Cressingham has a decided talent
for literary pursuits and has written a
number of clever articles for eastern
periodicals.
Mrs. Cressingham took a decided in
terest in equal suffrage during that
campaign, and in a recent school cleo
ton she led the women against cabat
that was thought to be dangerous to
the best interests of the district In
the renub1ican county convention,
where the women were arrayed with
the business men against the gang"
she was prominent in her bold stand
for fair play and decency. The nat
ural result was that in the distribution
of offices the women were recognized
by the placing of Mrs. Cressingham
upon the ticket.
Her fellow laborer in the campaign
was Mrs. Francis Klock. Mrs. Klock

A distinguished instance of a com

Some years ago she took a pronounced
dislike to French tenor, allowing her

'It was on Sept. 26, 1927, at the
Walnut Street theater, Philadelphia,
says Mrs. John Drew, ''as the little
Duke of York, in Shakespeare's play
of Richard ILL., and with Junius
Brutus Booth, the great elder Booth,
father of the late Edwin Booth, as the
crookback tyrant, that I began my
stage career; and as that was sixty
seven years ago, and as I have been
continuously before the footlights
ever since, l may justly say that have
had longer stage career than any IF
my contemporaries. Though so many
years have passed, I remember my
first performance as well as though it
had taken place last night. The per-
Torrance of the elder Booth as Richard
made a most powerful impression
upon me. His dramatic force and
magnetism were like a giant whirl-
wind, sweeping all before it. l have
never seen any one else in that part
who seemed to completely realize it as
he did. 1t almost seemed as though it
had been written for him."

Two Simple Minded Ruralists Arc United
in Mock Marriage.
Alva L.. Hill. a young bachelor of "a,
and Mrs. Fannie G. Ballard, g bright
looking widow of 81, both of Detroit,
arrived in Lockport Sunday morning.
Leaving his lady friend at the station,
Mr.. Hill strolled over to a near by
hotel. He entered the place. and in a
bashful manner asked the proprietor if
it was necessary to procure license to
get married. The proprietor, being of
a jolly frame of mind, informed him
that it was not, and asked him if he
was considering very seriously specu-
lating in the matrimonial field. With
a blush that would have done justice
to a school boy, he told him that he
was. Being asked where the young
lady was, he replied that he would
bring the fair maiden directly. They
were subsequently married" by a
practical joker and went their way re:
joicing, thinking that the joker was q
genuine minister.

First Weather Prophet.

The father of the weather bureau
service was Increase A. Lapham, a
modest and retired but ripe scholar,
who lived in Milwaukee. He was the
first to note by telegraph the progress
of the wind currents and storms and
to predict their appearance in specified
neiphborhoods. On the strength of a
weather dispatch from Omaha, in 1869
or whereabouts, he announced the first
storm on Lake Michigan that ever was
heralded twelve hours in advance Of
it's arrival. The first work of the
weather bureau was under his charge
in Chicago. 1t was on the small be-
Cinnings of DR.. Lapham that the entire
system of the signal service was based.
Or. Lapham died in 1875.

TEACHING cANARiEs TO sIMo.
Artificial Notes Forgotten 1t Asoultlng

Artificial Notes Forgotten ct Moulting
Time and Must He ksssuRht
The piping bullfinch is much valued
and frequently sells for high figure
from $25 tol$50 being no unusual
price to pay for one of these pretty
songsters; but it is not generally
known, says Pearson's Weekly, that
the canary may be taught a variety of
notes very quickly and that its vocal
powers are by no means confined to
its own more natural song. There
are three distinct ways in which this
bird may receive musical education.
He may be taught to sing tunes and
opera airs, as is generally done with
the bull6nch; or secondly, he may be
instructed in the notes of another bird,
as lark or robin; or, thirdly, his
capacity may be developed, his pow
ers of voice cultivated, and his song
remain the canary song through all.
The learning time in canary's life is
from five to six months old to one
year, and the owner of one of these
little birds must make choice of
methods and begin in time. In the
first place he must see that his pupil
is in robust health and good spirits.
A seed diet gives the muscles COM
pactness, therefore seeds should not
be the principal diet until he "gradu-
ates," but soft food of hard-bOiled
egg, grated with cracker or bread,
and boiled in milk, to the consistency
of stiff paste.
If he is to sing "1Annie Laurie" or
'The Last Rose of Summer" he must
be placed in quiet room with the
cage covered. Then a few notes of
the chosen air should be whistled or
played on some instrumental
bird organ or piano. They must be
played slowly and distinctly, in correct
time, and over and over till the bird
begins to try it himself. He must not
see the teacher nor hear the least
tones to distract his attention from
the notes so constantly repeated. The
instructor may have to spend hours,
it may be days, before the bird learns
his lesson, but he must persist in re-
iterating those few notes and no 9TH
ers till the pupil repeats them. When
he sings his notes he should be re-
warded with something he likes; for
one bit of food, for another little
praise. No matter how we'll the bird
has learned his artificial song he will
forget it the first time he mouths, I'M
less it is carefully repeated to him
every dry while moulting. If the
birds owner wishes the canary to sing
like lark or robin, he must put him
under native instruction. Place the
cage, covered closely, in a room alone
with another bird of the kind desired,
whose cage is in a light, sunny win
dow. The lark or other bird sings
for his own pleasure, and the canary
in his darkened cage learns to initiate
it. The third method, and the most
natural, is to have the young bird
trained by a fine singer of his own
family-a canary-and all that is
needful to do is to keep the young one
during the learning period in the
room with the fine singer alone, when
he will initiate the songster so far as
his powers allow.

Corea and place that kingdom on a

war was mustered out a captain. Dur
ing the war Mrs. Klock worked with
the sanitary commission, and since the
war she has always been identified
with the Woman's Relief Corps of the

her selection as candidate for Office.

public instruction, Mrs. Angenette j.
Peavey, owes her position entirely to
the women who took such decided
stand for representation in the repub-
lican state convention. Two years ago
the republican managers promised the
Office to public school man of marked
ability because he at that time with
drew to harmonic certain factions in
the party, but the women forced the
delegates in the convention this year
to ignore the admitted obligations due
the man.
That Mrs. Peavey will bring con-
siderable executive ability to the post
all who know the lady admit, but
whether it is possible for woman to
deal in practical manner with the
obligations required by virtue of that
Office remains to be demonstrated.
The retiring incumbent is what is
known as rank populist.
Mrs. Peavey is a descendant of the
Upham family of Massachusetts,, and
can trace the family genealogy back
to William the Conqueror. Her public
school education was completed at
Racine, Wis, and for ten years after
ward she taught in public schools.
She was married in 1861 to Lyford
Peavey, who shortly afterward left
his bride to enter the Union army.
From the war he never returned. Be-
ing left soldiers widow, with a
daughter to care for, she entered into
business life with very successful re-
suits. She managed book store for
eight years, selling out to enter news
paper work. For time she assisted
in the management of the Racine Ad-
vocate, selling out to buy the control
of the Shawan County Journal.
