Anybody was Entitled to scalp and Hs
was Bound TO Cat II.

Washington Post I#E
None but those who work late and
have to be called early IN the morning
can appreciate tho bliss Of being able
to turn over and take another nap after
being awakened at the usual time. A
summer hotel proprietor Of nearby
suburban resort tells of his recent ex-
perience with a man who came to the
hotel to enjoy weeks holiday, and
gave, instruction to the clerk to have
him called every morning at 6.30
promptly. Carrying out these orders
the new guest was awakened the first
morning at the given time. When the
bellboy raped at the door the sleeper
answered all right, was heard to give a
sigh of delight, and the bellboy re-
turned to the office. The next morn
ing the clerk noticed that, although the
guest had been awakened as usual at
6.30, he did not appear at the breakfast
table until 10 O'clock. The clerk,
having his attention once attracted to
this circumstance, unconsciously noted
that this same thing happened two or
three mornings in succession, and
finally, after consulting with the pro-
prietor, about the matter, decided not
to awaken the man at that hour again,
as he mover seemed to get up, anyhow.
After the second morning following,
however, the guest calladat the desk
and wanted TO know why his orders
were no longer carried out.
II requested you to call me every
morning at half-past SIX" said the
newcomer, land after doing SO for a
few mornings you have suddenly ceased
to obey my wishes. .5
"Well, sir, !" said the proprietor,
1--WE have noticed that you never came
down or even get up until Or 10
O'Clock, so we thought We would not
necessarily disturb your rest, knowing
that you came here to enjoy o weeks

my dear sir, that is just where you

morning for the last two years at half

just half of my life to be able to turn

and 1 was enjoying myself hugely unit
you stopped waking me up in the morn
ing. Now, sir, II you wish me to re-
main guest Of your hotel for tho rest

PRACTICAL Age. .t
A Chicago hardware man has gath
cred together the following choice bits
of wisdom some he heard and others
came from his inner consciousness:
A tombstone always has good word
for a man when he is down.
If people were compelled to bury
their faults the undertakes would be
kept busy.
Burning kisses alwaysgo with sparks.
Love and potatoes both spring from
the eyes. f W.
Love is tickling sensation at the
heart which cannot be scratched.
A COW has many good qualities, but
she is too modest to blow her own
horn.
Notwithstanding the hard times, seal
skins are worn the year 'round-by the
SEALS ft3'
The man with q shady character
ought to be.able to keep cool.
Always avoid the use of big words;
they are sometimes inconvenient to
swallow,

Shake the eggs, and if they are bad
they will rattle. To determine their
freshness place them in basin of
water. If they lie on their sides they
are fresh; if they lie obliquely they are
not quite fresh, and if they turn upon
end they are bad. An authority says
hold eggs up to the light, forming
focus with the hand. Should the shell
be covered with small dark spots they
are doubtful. If you SEQ no transpar-
ency in the shell they arc rotten and
may be thrown away at once. Eggs
to be preserved for use should be quite
fresh from the nest. Baltimore Ameri-

"There are three things,r saith the
proverb, which, can only be managed
by craxing-a kid glove, a fire and a
mar. ff
Certainly all three require gentle
methods. Rough handling Is especially
disastrous to kid gloves; jerking them
on is certain to tear them. Always put
on a pair Of new kid gloves for the first
time long enough before they are to be
worn to allow Of due deliberation in
the task. Much depends upon the way
in which this is done. When YOU pur-
chase pair of fine gloves insist that
they shall be fitted in the store; then,
il there are any flaws. they will be de-
tected before the gloves are paid for
and taken away. H
Cheap gloves are always risk, and
should never be bought except at u re-
liable store.
Some of the best shops keep a good
line of gloves at low prices which are
well worth buying for common wear.
They are strong and well made, though
not fine, and serve excellently well for
shopping and morning walks or for bad
weather. %s VI fy.r
In putting on glove always be
careful to get each finger straight.
Coax each one on by rubbing gently
between finger and thumb, and do not
draw on the thumb until the fingers
are down to the very ends.
In taking off turn the wrist over the
fingers and take hold of the ends Of
the fingers through the wrist; it wears
glove out badly to pull it off by
catching at the finger ends. Pull the
glove into shape and lay away care
fully. Keep silk to match each shade,
and mend as soon as break appears.
The old proverb, "a stitch in time
saves nine," is especially appropriate
to gloves. Glove mending is delicate
work, which requires both skill and
dexterity, and when well done pays
admirably for the pains taken.
A flask of glove powder should form
one of the adjuncts to every toilet
table, and pretty glove stretcher is
another.
Frenchwomen say that American
mothers fail sadly in the respect that
they do not instruct their daughters in
the art of putting on their gloves.
American girls" they say, "come
down stairs pulling their gloves on as
they go. Now, a Frenchwoman never
thinks of leaving her room until she
has put on her gloves any more than
she would come out buttoning her
shoes. This Is why a Parisienne's
gloves last her four times as long as dc
an Americans.
Buttoning gloves should never be
done in a hurry. The wrist should be
gently and carefully pulled straight,
and the buttons insinuated gently into
the holes. Use a glove-buttoner always
it ruins both the buttonholes and the
finger ends to button them without.
The loop buttoner is better than the
ordinary hooks.
When you buy new pair of gloves
always sew the buttons on before wear.
ing, then the annoyance of having the
buttons dropping off when you are in
full toilet will be avoided. If your
gloves lace, be careful to lace them
evenly, hook opposite to hook. This
is as necessary, or moro so, with gloves
than with shoes or bodice, and is Just
as disastrous to the fit Of one as of, the
other.

have shown that their work is for the
fundamental principle, and not
merely for their own success, Cannot
all co-operators be broad enough to
see that the gain of one should be
considered, and must really be. the
gain of all? 1t is only here that the
foundation for true spirit of unity
can be laid.
Surely for those of US who wish to
work for brotherhood in the broadcast
sense, and not only for the success OF
a particular undertaking, it is a sad
sight TO see different organizations,
each having brotherhood for its ideal,
acting in competition with each
other. If co-operators cannot coop
crate. how shall they demonstrate to
the world the beauty and practi-
cabilityof cooperation?
Let our constant effort be, then, to
emphasize all possible points Of union
and in case Of difference, each con
scicntiously and quietly follow MS
honest conviction without seeking to
thrust it upon his neighbor. If it is
the better one, time will show it; he
cannot cause it to prevail by CRITICS
ing others.
1t is only by such methods as these,
that the union which is strength will
slowly but surely spread through all
our ranks, and we shall find ourselves
nearing our ideal with ever quicken
ing pace and growing inspiration.

Wherever I go, wherever | am, |

to take up the gauntlet and combat
the principles of the true brotherhood
as propounded by the BCC. How
different few years ago, when to
declare oneself a socialist in any de-
gree was to sacrifice position and
trust and confidence, and to be spurn-
ed by everybody. Now you not only
find willing auditors anywhere. but
plenty of encouraging words from
many. At least find it so. never
find a case of suffering or injustice
anywhere. but | suggest that under
the brotherhood of the Cooperative
Commonwealth such things could not
be. The people gladly hear the
remedy and heartily endorse the
movement set in motion by the b c G

We are savage IN our dreaming,
No odds how we sigh and pray.

Ey'ry maid our sister. too.
But re skinning one another,
Just like savage creatures do.

Food and clothing to the poor?
And beneath their starved eyes shaking
Things they re needing. to allure.
See their eager starved eyes burning
While they all our goods behold
See again. how hopeless turning.
At our cool demand for gold.
Send again our pious mission
To the heathenish HindOO:
Save this poor soul from perdition
With the Christian gospel true.
But when famine, grim and awful,
Brings him miseries untold
Deny him bread. for il is lawful,
Unless he can pay You gold.
But we've nearer need for pity:
In our own land hear the cries
Going up from crowded city.
To that home beyond the skies.
Help me, Comes the cry appealing.
From the novels damp aud cold.
But the rich can stand unfceling,
Until they are paid in gold.
We are sayages. my brother,
And the gospel Jesus taught
How we should treat one another
Simply now amounts to naught:
For our face with greed we're carving,
Like granite statue cold:
And our answer to the starving.
Is stern demand for gold.

But while that is true, can there not

recognize the right of individual free
dom of thought and speech and press,
than those of the reform element, as

Would we Americans ever have had

George Washington, or an Abe Lin
coin:
Were not these great men once
considered radical by the other
crowd:
In tory history you will find such
men dubbed all sorts of vile names.
Patrick Henry is represented as a
bankrupt who could not succeed in a
small store. but a great success as a
vile agitator," and posed as the
shaper of the destiny of a great ma
ton. Wasn't that ridiculous:
Suppose the world was wholly com
posed of those good inotfensive come
