FARMERS CONGRESS.
THE INTERESTING ASSEMBLY PRE-.
SIDED OVER BY "FARMER" HOARD.

He Is an Ex-Governor of Wisconsin and
Is Called the Farmers Friend-How
the Congress Started and What 1t Is
For.
Ex-Governor w. D. Hoard of Wis
conSin, who was recently elected presi-
dent of the Farmers National Congress,
is known in his own state and some
what widely throughout the west as
Farmer" Hoard. Probably no one
man has done more to develop the dairy
industry in Wisconsin and neighboring
states than he, and for more than 80
years he has taken fatherly interest in
the personal welfare of hundreds Of
farmers. For many years he has pub
hshed Hoard's Dairyman, which has
been regarded as an authority on all
matters pertaining to butter and cheese
making and has been read religiously
by thousands of dairymen. He has also
edited local paper called The Jefferson
County Union.
The organization which has chosen
Mr.. Hoard as its chief executive officer
represents the result of years of COM
bined effort ON the part of the western
farmers to form a coherent and repre-
sentative body. The congress is the out
growth of the Grange movement, which
a few years ago promised to knit the
agricultural strength of the whole
country into a powerful political body,
strong enough to dictate to Legislatures
and railroads
But the Grange proved too unwieldy,
and it went to pieces almost because Of
its own weight. Next came the Farm
ers' Alliance, with its spice of political
aggressiveness, and this proved even
more popular as a form of organization
than the Grange had been. 1t was soon
seen, however, that little could be done
by local alliances, so state alliances
were formed, with the object of demand
ing definite reforms.
In order to still further extend the
work the organization was broadened

renee. Indeed, abroad this is called q
"white season.. Women, young, mid
die aged and old, attire themselves in
white. At night the gowns worn are in
satin and in mousseline de sole, in
handsome brocades and unpretending
glace silks. In the morning are worn the
coat and skirt of white linen, smart
pique or serge. Young women who
want something practical and useful
for early morning wear have included in
their wardrobes white suits with short
coats or bolero bodices and plain skirts
fairly full, but innocent of trimming.
Later on in the day the coat or bolero is
discarded for cool blouse of muslin or
lace. In the afternoon the gown be-
comes thing of innumerable frills and
flounces, fine French muslin over silk
furnishing the foundation.
For fetes and garden parties there
are ideal gowns in the popular grass
linen in biscuit, pale fawn, rose pink
or delicate green, embroidered either
in ecru and appliqued in open designs
with ecru, duchess or renaissance lace,
or with creamy embroidories, and the
open applique designs in black lace.
These robes have the skirt portion
gored and scanned, and the designs run
up in points, as well as forming a bor-
der all round. The embroidered bodice
piece in some forms pinafore front,
in others takes the form of strips of
narrow bordering.
A favorite combination Is gray and
pink. Pink gowns are often, however,
made up over white. Spotted muslins,
Worn over color and made with frills
innumerable, are also worn, and the
dainty organdie and tambour muslins
are very fashionable. White glace silk
has gained favor for summer gowns,
the skirts being in many cases trimmed
with white chiffon ruches arranged in
a series of many vandykes, the lines of
trimming being placed some five inches
apart and covering the skirt in this way
from waist to hem. Effective gowns are
made in cool looking grenadines and
gauzes.
The pinafore style with banded waist
makes a smart bodice. 1t fastens either
under the arm or at one side. There
are new boleros having the front entire
and closed and are either embroidered
or covered with circular rows of velvet
or ribbon. Pouched fronts have found
favor with women having thin, fat fig
ures. BlOuses continue to be much worn,
especially with fancy wooIen skirts.
A straw sailor hat with simple band
and bow of satin ribbon is a favorite
with young women for morning wear.
Later in the day this is exchanged for
more dressy headgear A pretty garden

steaI-Carlo got into trouble for the
1O1st time. He wasn't really a bad
dog; but sufferd from a bad form of
lkleptomania. A more humane age will
treat such cases as they require. l
Eoften had to say that he wasn't my dog
at all, and leave him to take the
punishment he deserved; but he always
turned up dirty and affectionate, and
generally landed some interesting
street relic on my turkish rug. Some
times 1 fancied it was pure benevolence
on his part; for he was not greedy, and
had no manner of use for the articles
he purloined. 1 tried hard to watch
him, but usually before the end of the
week, 1 would find by his suspicious
silence that he had collected a SWEET
potato or something and was turn

the streets so many would answer to

were all connections and invite them
home to supper, and when 1 got exas-
perated and threw things at them, he
always took it as a personal insult,
even if 1 didn't hit him! But he has
gone now. After he had eaten the
IIandlady's cat, torn up the hall carpet,
worried the star-boarder's only hat,
and slept in weary wetness on the
parlor couch, it was no use trying to
condone his ecentricities, and 1 have
made up my mind that 1 will never

wide brim bent down low ON one side
and its graceful outline emphasized by
skiIlfully draped folds of chiffon.
Light colored gloves are worn, even
with tailor made gowns, but delicate
biscuit or pale cane tint has been even
more seen than the somewhat obtrusive
white.
A gown representing the very latest
summer fashions is of cream canvas
over cream silk and trimmed with satin
ribbon. An equally fashionable gown is
of gray crepe de chine with embroidered
bodice. A gown designed to be worn at
the races is in fawn cloth and is trim
med with black braid. This gown is a
good model where a useful but stylish
dress is required for outdoor wear

and the Farmers National Congress was
| evolved. The farmers had some diff
Guilty in deciding Just how many dele
gates should compose their working
body. They Hid not want the number to
| be so large that the congress would be
unwieldy nor so small that it would not
be fairly representative 1t was finally
determined to have one delegate from
each congressional district and two dele
gates at large from each state. This ar
rangement has worked very well, and
the sessions have been of much benefit.
There were a number of other candi-
dates for the presidency at the recent
convention in st. Paul, but Ex-Governor
Hoard proved to be the most popular.
He is plain, unpretentious man of 60,
who thoroughly understands agriculture
in all its branches and knows, too, how
to win the confidence of an audience.
President Hoard is native of New
York state, but he removed to Wiscon-
sin at the age of 81 and has lived there
ever since. He served during the war as
a private in the Union army and alleges
that he "has never done anything star
Ting or heroic in his whole life. -
He managed, however, to become vel!
and favorably known to great many
people in Wisconsin Some of them
We're farmers who had read his news
paper, and many were those who had
heard him talk at farmers institutes
and similar gatherings For years he
has been in demand as a speaker, fOI
he could always be depended upon to
say something that smacked Of sound
common sense as well as to enliven the
session by telling one or two good stories.
In this way he gained a wide reputation
as a humOrist, and his audiences came
to expect at least one funny yarn OF
wittily told anecdote from him when,
ever he appeared in public. He tells his
stories with a serious look which addl
not little to their face value. Then hC
is master Of several kinds of dialect
and his Irish stories are especially vel
appreciated.
Perhaps his best story is one which
he told during his gubernatorial can
vass 1t concerned Mike and Pat. Mike
had bet Pat dollar that he could earn
the latter 70 the top of a four story
building in his hod.
"Oi'll take thot bet" said Pat.
So Pat climbed into the hod, Mix,
shouldered it and the dangerous climl
was begun. At the third story Mike wa
nearly exhausted and the hod wabbleC
about on his shoulder, but he recovered
his wind and made the top safely.
"Shure," said Mike, as he put thu
hod down ON the roof, Eye didn't thinl
Old lose me bet, did ye?"
col had hopes at the third sthory,
said Pat.
Ex-Governor Hoard always seems t
have one of these anecdotes on tap to fl
any subject or apply to any situation
and they are all the better appreciate,
for the fact that his applications ar
usually extremely pat. Often he tells
funny story just to put a farmers gath
ering in good humor or to break up
debate in which heated arguments an,
personalities have been INDUCED in.

MY DOG.

Dear faithful friend, thy honest loving
life
Is spent full oft in scenes of needless
strife,
Harrled by thoughtless youth thy
worth unknown,
Drowning thy sorrows in the Juicy
bone.
Dodging for aye the minions of the
law,
Yet proff'ring still the kind, forgiving
paw,
Willing to suffer penitential pain.
Anxious to wag the friendly tail again.
a simple honest soul who knows no
thought
Beyond to serve his master as he
ought,
Careless his merits or his faults 10
know,
Grateful alike for favor or for blow.
Seeking no other law than just to be
A friend alike in wealth or poverty.
So good you are, hold the saying true,
Who loves myself must love my dog

The City Councils Secret

ton of the City Hall

The city council, sitting as commit
tee of the whole, yesterday afternoon
summoned the heads of the several de-
partmnts before them with the ambition
of scaling down the cost of maintaining
the city government.
The assessed valuation of property is
about $6O,oOOO 900, the levy on which
would bring the city a revenue amount
ing to 5000, O00 exclusive of the license
fund Some time ago when estimates
as to the cost of running the several de-
partments were made, it was found that
the sum of 100000 in round figures
would be necessary, judging from the
items furnished by the heads of the Of
fees.
The levy of 100000, together with the
receipts from the license furd about
5000, 900, which latter amount is used to
pay the salaries of the chief officers
would still leave a deficit of about
$1,000 The council is determined 10
bring the expenses within the receipts.

uncle at Alhambra. They got Off the
train at San Gabriel and were wandering
around when found by one of the resi-
dents. Word was telephoned to Pomona
and Marshall Caldwell came after them.
The boys did not relish their experience
| in getting lost and promised to stay at
home after that
The sleepy environments of Pomona
, again became distasteful to them, and
about week ago they started out to
| stir up little excitement elsewhere
They were finally found several miles
! from home at 10 o'clock at night. The
| following day they repeated the expert
ence.
Then their mother, worried almost 20
distraction on leaving home the follow
ing day. decided to fasten the elder boy
so that he could not get away, knowirg
that the two would not separate She
accordingly put a chain around his
wrists and locked it there with a pad
lock Then she. took a. staple and fas-
tened the chain to the bedpost. Feeling
that her troublesome boys were perfect
ly secure, she left home congratulating
herself on at last having found a means
by which she could leave home knowing
that they would be there when she re-
turned.
The good woman had reckoned with
out her host. Her footsteps had hardly
died away around the block when the
boys put their heads together to con-
trive some means to escape. 1t didn'.
take the precious pair long to evolve
scheme. Ernest sent Willie after O
claw-hammer and then directed him to
go to work on the staple. The careful
mother had not been a little painstaking
in driving the iron into the wood. and
it did not come out easily, but the small
or boy gouged and gouged until it was
finally loosened, and. presto, it was out.
But one difficulty remained; the chain
was still securely locked around En-
nests wrists and could not be pried off.
But these bright boys We're not to be

fell to the floor. Then the boys left, but
they did not go home Instead they
found some other urchinS to play with,
and again ran away.
This was too much for the over-bur-
dened mother. She had been baffleda and
worried until she could put up with
it no longer. All her time was required
for her daily labors, which could not be
neglected or both herself and little ones
would suffer for something to eat As
a last resort she decided to place them

The surest tranquillizer of the nerves is a
medicine which remedies their supersensi-
tiveness by invigorating them. Over tension
of the nerves always weakens them. What
they need then is a tonic, not a sedative.
The latter is only useful when there is in
tense mental excitement, and imme-
date necessity exists for producing
quietude of the brain. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters restores tranquility of the nerves
by endowing them with the vigor requisite
to bear, without being Jared or disturbed
unhealthfully the ordinary impressions
produced through the media of sight, hear
ing and reflection. Nay, it does more than
this. it enables them to sustain a degree
of tension from mental application which
they would be totally unable to endure
without its assistance. Such, at least, is
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn from
the testimony of business and professional
men, litterateurs, clergymen and others
who have tested the terrifying and repara-
tive influence of this celebrated tonic and
nerVine,
