WHAT SHE BUYS.

The slipshod housckeeper is the exact
opposite of the fussy one. She is deficient
in what, for lack of Il better name, one may
call mental glue" and has absolutely no
method everything is done at random
and the whole establishment, literally and
figuratively, tumbles TO pieces in all direc-
tions To use her own expression, she has
mo head" and continually forgets things,
or remembers them too late to be of any
use. The servants do pretty much as they
please i'll this sort Of house, and partake
of the general lipshoddedness both in
manners and appearance. This state of
things is TO be found in all grades of So
cioty, from the highest to the lowest
There is the wOuld-be smart woman,
who tries To keep up a big establishment
and makes an imposing appearance on a
limited income; and there Is the woman
who makes no pretcnsions OF any sort, but
pleads a large family ana small cXchcquer
as an excuse for her slipshod household.
In the first case the smart housewife 90
spends all her money, or, at any rate, far
too large u share OF it on dress and pleas
ure. She lives beyond her means, waste
and extravaganza are the order OF the day,
debt and disaster too often the result
Bills she looks upon as so much waste paprr,
to be thrown away with lofty disdain,
unless she is absolutely dunncd for the
money, and things become disagrceable in
consequence; then she begins to borrow,
takes to secretly pa wning any available
jewels or plate; perhaps, even worse, she
is tempted to bet or gamble-do anything
in fact, TO get out of her difficulties, ali the
time only piunging deeper into the mire.
Once this kind of thing begins, it is inn
possible to say where 1t may end. Ii she
has any children, woe betide them, for
their mother takes little or no heed ofthem;
babies are bore, and the nursery a terra
incOgnito to her. The nurse or goveTness,
as the case may be. is chosen without any
discrimination. and the unfortunate chill
dren are left in the charge OF careless or
ignorant people anu suffer untold miseries
in body and mind, too often to be revenged
IN after years.
The smart slipshod housewife IS sci
dom visible till midday, and thcn-unleSs

Her face was coarse,
Her hand was hard,
Her Ire or humblest toll,
Her dress was rags,
her face, so dull,
or wretchedness was spoil.
The woman had starved and fought her

Can give you home for your broken age
In her joyless heart woke DO thrill or
rage.
Her beared eyes lit,
Her thoughts flew back,

Her race so proud

bold,
They lested that child of her heart was

10 be blest with her gold when her life
was done,
Her race changed not,
Her smile was calm,
Her glance but scathing gave;
Who knew her soul
with longing cursed,
cried pray yers for cen grave.
For never a babe on her Bosom lay,
Splendor and pomp and power her day,
Ah, she smiled with scorn tho the jest
cut deep,
And stecled herself, must her secret
keep.

Comptroller Eckels Not Appre-
hensive Over the Recent
Bank Failures.
Purely Local Conditions Re-
sponsible for the Differ
ent Collapses.
Van NortWick Bros. of Batavia
Ills, Assign Their Vast
Interests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Comptroller
Eckles said during the afternoon that
he feels no apprehension over the bank
failures which have occurred of late
Mr.. Eckes, when asked as to to the
general situation, said:
Those failures which have occurred
lately have little or no significance at.
tached to them. They were due largely
to local causes, wholly unconnected
with the general condition of the banks
throughout the country at large. The
two failures Tuesday are of minor i'm
portance, in each case the banks CAPT.
tai being only 100000. AS against
these few failures, based on local
causes, the general condition of the
banks is excellent. On the whole it is
evident that the national banks today
are as stable as they ever were, and the
sparodic failure of bank here and
there through defects peculiar to the
failing bank is of small Importance,
wholly without significance. 1 am adj
vised from Minneapolis that the failure
there has occasioned no disturbance
beyond the institution concerned"

The following interesting sketch of Hon.
Jos. KraKer, member-elect of the legislature
from the Third district of this senatorial dis
trict, appears in the Pioneer Press:
s'Joseph Kraker of Melrose was born in
Austria in I843. He came to the United
States in 1861. and spent three years among
the miners and Indians in Michigan, Wis
consin and the Lake Superior region, sell
ing trinkets and carrying his store on his
back, as Mr.. Kraker puts it. During the
Indian troubles of 1903 Mr.. Kraker as
sisted missionary in preventing the Wis
consin Indians from, joining their red breth-
ern of Minnesota on the warpath. Later he
opened store at Shannon, ILL.,, where he
remained until 1871, when he sold out and
removed to Minnesota. He engaged in
general merchandise business at St. Martin.
and later at Albany, Stearns county, and in
1884 removed to Melrose. He started the
bank at Melrose in company with Senator
Keller and others, but sold his interest, and
Is at present engaged in the lumber and
hardware business, and in farming. Mr..
Kraker is Democrat, although at the last
election he voted the straight Republican
ticket, and did valiant work for Mckinley
and Morris in his vicinity: He ran as an
independent candidate and received votes
from all factions, many silverites voting 70.
