Mrs. William Tod Helmuth, presi- dent of Sorosis, says: T believe that woman's clubs have wie1ded a potent influence in bettering the condition of women during the last 25 years, and that their educational features will en- able us to more worthily fulfill our DO iitical duties when we get suffrage 1t is matter for congratulation that our clubs are steadily increasing in numbers throughout the United States This means that our women are growing mentally and approaching nearer and nearer our high ideal of womanhood and motherhood ;

All Are Eeually Affected.

There is just one of all the varied de. partments of life that men have tried to conduct entirely by themselves. and that is the department of politics. What is the result2 It is i'll such state that they are positively afraid to let respect able women enter it. Now, if political conditions affected only the men them. selves we might be tempted to let them pay the penalty of their own neglect and mismanagement, but every evil in the body polite affects directly the wo- men, the children. tho home, the whole social organization. We are so thorough Iy conscious of our own strength and integrity that VIC cannot be frightened by all the eliminating things men say about themselves and their political do main. It will be remembered that the famous pool of Bible history had nc healing qualities until an angel stepped down and touched the waters. It is about timo that the waters of the pool of politics responded to a purifying touch. We decline to believe that men are as bad as they paint themselves, but if they are one-half as bad, then they certainly are not good enough to repre- sent women, and the latter are justified in demanding that they be allowed to represent themselves Ida A.

 Attorney-General Trustworthy de cides that President Moose of the Senate is in fact Lieutenant-Gover- nor, the Senate having adjourned without electing a President pro tempore It was no fault of MT. Moose that a selection was not made. An effort was made on the day pre- vious to adjournment to elect a President pro tempore, but it failed, and on the day of adjournment, when 1t became apparent that no extension would be had, systematic effort was made by certain Senators to prevent the election of such an officer, and they succeeded in theil purpose.-Arkansas enocr [.

COLONY OF WIDOWS.
At Least There Was One, but Nov All
 Are Married.

St Least There Was One, but Nov All
 Arc Married.
 A small hamlet across the river from Ooalburg, " Va. is known as Shrews- bury. It's only distinguishing feature has been the multiplicity of it's widows. Some were old and some were buxom. There was a 16-year-old and one of 50.
 Most of them were ehildless, but sev. eral had one or more remembrances of the one dead. Two grass widows were in the group, and one other had a glass eye. Several had money, two or three a farm, one owned grocery store and five or six had pension.
 There were others who only had ex. perience and hope, but today there is not widow in Shrewsbury One died of old age. Another went away to ac- cept position as second cook on @ Big Sandy pushboat, and of the others every one is married.
 There was one elopement A girlish widow of 40, with bangs, went down the river with 6 boy coal miner, but she was determined not to be left Squires caught eight or ten couples, and minis ters had few who gave a5 cents for the ceremony.
 , A lot of rooms wifh board for eligible widows can be had cheap at Shrews- bury, and number of unincumbered men, weary of single life, are willing to exchange their forlorn condition for the smiles of not too old or exacting widow.
 The trains carry all widows for half tare, for good luck. New York Record er.

of established art design. Conventional design is more difficult to color artis- tioally than floral, but when the true eye for color undertakes it the effect is most pleasing and lasting. The roeoeo design ia connection with the floral is still very popular. Occasionally one hears that such and such design is out of fashion, and there follows q descrip- tion of some perhaps truly inartistio thing which will supersede it. Ono needs to beware of such announcements. for true art in all it's notifications is moi ephemeral. It has stood the test of ages and will ever stand. Designs founded upon principles of the highest art lines ought never to go out of fashion. The roeoeo has long been popular So has the dainty bowknot and it's requisite at. tendant basket of flowers. Why should these ever be in or out of fashion? They are old enough and perfect enough for all time. New York Times.

Over in Russia many of the schools have connected with them small gar dens, orchards or grape arbors, in which tho boys and girls are taught to work. Each day the schoolmaster, who has charge of the garden, takes his pupils out and teaches them how to plant. hoe, rake and reap. In tho south of Russia, where the country is almost treeless, the children learn how to set out trees and what the best kinds are, and in some provinces there is complete silk worm colony in each school, and the pu- pills watch the wonderful little siiiSfnak- CTS eat the mulberry leaves and spin their coooons and help all they can in the work of caring for the colony At other schools bees are kept. and the boys and girls learn to handle them and guard them while they are honey max tug.

 Find the Hidden Name.
 Each line of the following sonnet con. tains in regular arrangement one of the letters in the name of famous Ameri. can. The letters follow o5ae another in mathematical succession. Sec if you can pick them out and find the mans name:
 man who was in peace and war chief Above the pettiness Of party strife,
 brawny, kindly one of simple iifo, 4 brave and noble soul who gained relief For thousands of his fellow men in grief And slavery, and who when WAT was rife Called mighty troops that marched by drum
 and fife
 To free black slaves. His public life was brief But great in deed and word and gentleness. statesman born near the Ohio's shore,
 Of humble ancestry, who worked his way By strictsy honest means te great success. His name you all doubtless have heard before,
 But thess few lines may show you 1t today.

 Pillows retain their popularity. and the tendency is to show a slightly re- duced size, although one or two yard square ones appear in every collection. They are finished with graduated frills of lace, rope cord tied at the corners or rufled or ruehed with silk Many of them are unornamented with needle work, their beauty being ill their ma terial, the exquisite silks and crapes of the art societies. textiles.
