WELDING q Fan Correctly.
The average man or woman, coming
In from a walk or snatching q few
minutes rest from some exertion, will
seize a fan and ply 1t with frantic force.
lne very effort makes the last state
worse than the first, and the constant
breeze blowing on the face causes, II
anything, q heat more disagreeable
than the first flush of discomfort. Fans
are as old as history, and the ancient
Egyptians well knew their use, but it Is
not impossible to imagine those stately
queens Of ancient days permitting in
their presence anything SO vigorously
undignifed as the modern method of
tanning. Languor, ease, grace and
moderation not only make a woman
tanning herself a pleasing sight to
look upon, but they alone give the fair

the most prominent jurists who ever
sat upon a western bench, 1t seemed

Brace Weber was the handsome teach
er who taught the politicians the lesson.
Mrs. Weber took charge of her fathers
campaign from the start, and her wide
State acquaintanceship made her a
most valuable manager. A few days
before the convention she opened head
Quarters at the Madison House and
hung her fathers banner to the breeze.
1t was a campaign Of smiles. The dele
gate called, was charmed and before he
left the smiling campaigner had in an
artless way coaxed a promise that he
would vote for father. No Missouri
man-not even a politician-ever broke
his promise when given to q Missouri
woman, and the nomination Of Judge
Brace, In a storm Of enthusiasm, was
the feature of the convention. II Mrs.
Weber cried q little over her victory,
that wal her privilege as a woman, it

she Is a shrewd political manager, and
that her charming smile and the wom-
anly wisdom which taught her how to
manage men won a victory over the
most clever political managers in the
State.

'sFrom the Deck"
The recent death Of Rear Admiral
Thomas H. Stevens has led his COM
rades to recall the manner and spirit
in which his duty was done. It was
of his action In the Battle Of Mobile
that Captain Mahan wrote:
"As they passed, the admiration OF
the flagship and the Metacomet was
aroused by the sight Of Commander
Stevens Of the Winnebago, walking
quietly, giving his orders from turret
to turret of his unwieldy vessel, ID.
rectly under the enemy's guns"
OF the same engagement, Rear Ad-
miral Leroy wrote, Commander Ste
vens was outside Of the turrets, per-
fectly exposed, and AZ the vessel / COM
manded was close alongside his vessel,
both running for the ran Tennessee,
and as my vessel was the faster and
more manageable. he cheered me with
words Of encouragement ~ I Was pass
