Madam, you don't know how to

throwing lump of half cooked dough

Smith found himself cornered, and
felt very uncomfortable, as he had Ell

make good his boast. He had never
made cake i'll his life, had no idea how
cakes were compounded, but thought he
knew what was in them.
'I'll make the cake,' he said.

"What, now"

Smith took off his coat. his collar and
necktie and rolled up his shirt sleeves
They walked to the kitchen together,
and Smith said:
"What shall mix it in!"
"Oh, you're doing it," Mrs. Smith
replied.
"Ah, this will do" he said, taking
up bowl. "Now bring me some water,
now some raisins and currants, sugar
and ginger and allspice. There. that
will do" He put them all into the
bowl and mixed them with q spoon.
"They don't seem to stick together, "
he said. Looks n ere like thick soup
than anything else. Fancy I've got too
much water" Smith drained off some
of the water and was about to put the
cake into pan, when his wife said:

it baked properly" He started off, and
when he reached the bakers he said:

and put in its place one Of your best
plum cakes?"
That night at supper Mrs. Smith had
her mother and sister with her. She
had told them of the cake, and they
were expecting great fun at Smiths ex.

and said:
''This is my cake-something like q

placed it Oh the table.

small gripsack Oh the floor behind his

COURAGE.

Il d not they that never knew
Weakness or fear who are the brave
Those are the proud. the kniehtly few
Whose JOY is still to serve and save
But they who in the weary night
Amid the darkness and the stress
Have struggled with disease and blight
With pitiful world WEAKNESS,
They who have yearned TO stand among
The free and mighty Of the earth,
Whose sad, aspiring souls are wrung
With starless hope and hollow mirth,
Who die with every day. yet live
Through merciless, unhrightened years,
Whose sweetest right is TO forgive
And smile divincly through iheir tears
They are the noble, they the strong.
They are the tried, the trusted ones,
And though their way is hard and long,
Straight TO the plying God it runs.

TEDDY ACCEPTS
 THE NOMINATION
Promises to Carry Out Saratoga
 Platform if Elected.
MUST STRENGTHEN NAVY
The Standing Army Should be So In creased That It Will Be Equal to Any Demands Made
 Upon It.

New York, October 1.-The committee ap- pointed to notify the candidates nominated by the state republican convention at Sara toga went to the home of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the nominee for governor, at Oyster Bay, L. l., today.
 Chauncey Depew made the notification address to Colonel Roosevelt, compliment ing him on the unanimity of his choice by the convention. Colonel Roosevelt replied briefly as follows:
 T herewith accept the nomination ten dered by the republican party in conven- tion assembled. I deeply feel the responsi- bility entailed upon me by this nomination, Responsibility which attaches to the chief executive of a commonwealth larger and more populous than many an old world Kingdom. In accepting this nomination at the hands of the authorized committee of the republican state convention, l take this opportunity of extending, through you, to the republicans of the Empire State my heartfelt thanks for the distinguished honor conferred upon me. If elected I shall strive to administer the duties of this high office snail be conserved, knowing that I owe my position to the people and to them l shall hold myself accountable
 T take it that the promises made in the platform adopted at Saratoga are as bind ing as any others and to the fulfllment of the pledges made therein, I promise my est effort. The partys past has been glo- rious and while this would not atone for failure to perform present duty, it does give adequate reason for believing that we shall meet each new duty arising, so that the record of the party in the future may give as much cause for thankfulness and pride as in the achievements of the past
 National issues are paramount this year. It is not more possible to conduct state election without regard to national issues than it was possible so to conduct one in 1861 or 1863. As it then was so it now is, the interests of the nation as a whole, are the vital and absorbing interest to each citizen.
 Then, as now, the republican party was forced to find new issues to confront new problems; then, as now, 1t was forced not to follow, but to make precedents. In 1861 we had to preserve the republic for its great destiny; in 1898 we have to take long stride towards the accomplishment of that destiny.
 'The republican party, therefore in its state platform, does well to reiterate the promises under which 1t was possible to elect republican president, pledges which made 1t possible to restore prosperity to our country and to put the nation where it is possible to work out the glorious future
