FIFTEENTH WARD.


In the Fifteenth ward, however,
things did not move SO smoothly. con-
siderable jealousy and suspicion
seems to have been created, Originally
there were five candidates for the coun-
cilship nomination, but two of them
withdrew. In the second district, one
of the Vigilants was openly accused
of attempting to staff the ballot box.
In fairness TO all candidates it is said
that the attempt did not succeed and
had no effect upon the actual vote

senting each candidate.

AN OLD FASHIONED WRINKLE RE-
CIPE.

Any women who have read the Vicar
of Wakefield would give much to know
just what herbs and simples were used
in the face wash that Mrs. Primrose and
her bonny daughters were at such pains
to make over the fire. Both DANES and
demoiselles of those times were famous
for their fine compilations, and 1t is well
worth while making a study of their
means to this desirable end. Here Is
recipe straight from old England that
sounds as If it might be a compound like

BRAVE PIONEER WOMEN.

1t is told that at the siege Of Bryants
station, near Lexington, Ky, the women
were called upon for an unusual display
of courage. 1t was in the days of Indian
warfare. The garrison was supplied with
water from a spring at some distance from
the fort, and near this spring a consider
able force of Indians had been placed in
ambush, Another party, in fun view from
the fort had been ordered to open fire at
a given time with the hope OF enticing
the besieged to an engagement outside the
walls giving the ambushed force an op-
portunity for storming one of the gates.
The EXPERIENCED men in the garrison felt
satisfied that Indians were concealed near
the spring. but We're sure they would not
show themselves until the firing had be-
gun on the opposite side of the fort.
The need of water was urgent, and,
seeing but one way to get it, the men
summoned all the women. Explaining to
them the circumstances in which they
were placed, ana the improbabiiity that
any injury would be offered them until
firing had begun on the other side of the
fort, they begged them to go in a body

NAsTURTIUMs FoR THE WINDOW.

To illustrate how defaced china may be
utilized and how cheaply a window garden
may be raised, the following experience
of a New Yorker last winter may well
serve as an example:
While passing the "ten-cent" shop her
eye was attracted by an artistic yellow
delft bowl, which she Forthwith entered
the shop and purchased II was
sent home the following day, and later
when madam went into the china closet
to inspect her trophy, the disheartening
discovery was made that the bowl had a
hole in 1t nearly an inch In diameter. 1t
had been accepted and consequently could
not then be returned, so the only alterna-
tive was to make of 1t jar
diniere. But as the home was
an apartment the next question
was how to supply the earth. After some
elaboration the difficulty was met by
emptying several flower pots of their con-
tents. as the plants in them had blossom
ed and then died, as plants from the flo
rists have way of doing when changed
to different atmosphere.
NasturtiumS were selected, as the flow
ers would harmonic in color with the yell
low of the bowl, and besides, they are a
hardy plant and flourish under adverse
circumstances. The seeds were obtained
from a neighboring florists care being
taken to secure a variety; they were plac-
ed in the earth, both in the center and
around the bowls edge, and watered every
day. Soon signs of green life began to
show, each day the small shoots increas-
ing with amazing rapidity, and before long
they were putting forth their young
leaves.
The problem then presented itself as to
securing a trellis for the vines to climb
over. A visit to the "five-cent" store soon
solved this by investing a nickel In
small gridiron, which opened and which
was originally intended to broil a lamb
chop or toast a slice OF bread on. Its
handles were stuck into the earth near
the edges of the bowl, so that the grid
iron was partly opened and formed mod
Ell latticework, to which the nasturtiums
began to cling at once.
In an astonishing short space of time
the plants budded and bloomed, the flow
ers shading from delicate yellow through
the whole gamut of this hue, orange and
cinnamon, finishing with the rich reddish
tones that look so velvety in the nastur-
tium. The vines fourished beautifully.
Powered the entire winter, and were
source of real enjoyment as well as an
artistic and picturesque decoration, and
all for so triiing a sum as to be not
worth mentioning.
The bowl stood in a sunny window
usually, but occasionlly 1t was placed in
the center of the luncheon or dinner ia
BILE, where it served as an ornament floral
piece, and won many praises.

Among the recent finds discovered at Tel

knew little of perspective, or these stands
would appear by the side of the chairs.

with freshly baked loaves and cakes, one

20 the spring and bring up each bucket
ful of water. Some of the women, as was
natural, had no relish for the undertake
ing, and asked why the men could not
bring water as well as themselves, OBJ
serving that they were not bullet-proof
and that the Indians made no distinction
between male and female scalps. To this
1t was answered that the women were in
the habit of bringing water every morn
Sng to the fort; and that, If the Indians
saw them engaged as usual 1t would in
duce them to think their ambuscade I'M
discovered; and that they would not I'M
mask themselves for the sake of firing
at a few women, when they hoped, by re-
naming concealed a few moments longer
TO obtain complete possession of the fort
That II the men should go down to the
spring, the Indians would Immediately
suspect that something was wrong, would
despair of succeeding by ambuscade. and
would instantly rush upon them, follow
them into the fort, or shoot them down at
the spring.
The decision was soon made A few of
the boldest women declared their readi-
ness to go. and, the younger and more
timed rallying in the rear of these vet
Grams, they ali marched to the spring
within point blank shot of 800 Indians war
riors. Some of the girls betrayed symp-
toms of terror, but the married women
in general moved with a steadiness and
composure that completely deceived the
Indians. Not shot was fired The wo-
men were permitted to fill their buckets,
and, though their steps became quicker
, and quicker on their return, degenerating
into rather unmiltary celebrity, yet not
more than one-hfth of the water was spill
ed and the garrison was supplied.
