looked like two overturned garbage cans
on hot night. The shells whistled seal

A system that DefIes Ring Rule.

Before the recent municipal election in
Chicago the Record published the stand
ing of all the candidates for Office, of
which the following are examples Of
''ringsters":
JOHN POWERS - Democrat; saloon
keeper, A3 Canal street and 40 Madison
street; residence 70, MacAlister place; bust
ness partner Of Senator BILLY O'Brien;
alderman since 1888, and acknowledged
leader OF the gang in the council; has uni
formly voted for bad ordinances and taken
a leading part in forcing through amend
ments and ordinances favorable to corpora
tions and defeating compensation for fran
chses; during present campaign has waged
a bitter warfare upon all reform forces and
enlisted the support of the most vicious ele-
ment In his ward; poses as the poor mans
friend and maintains his position by pre-
tense Of charity, while attempting to drive
from the ward the people who are endeav-
oring to improve It's Conditions Vilitles and
abuses his opponents and sends gangs of
roughs and hoodlums to their meetings;
uses his official position to strengthen his
own interests; opposed Gallagher's attempt
to secure lower fares; his continuance in
council would be a disgrace to the ward
and a public calamity.
JOHN A. ROGERS-Republican saloon
keeper, 343 West Madison street; residence
SO Aberdeen street; elected to council in
1896 under false pretense OF support by
league; record utterly bad; voted for fran
chises asked by Union Consolidated Ele-
waited railway, North and West Chicago
Street Railroad Companies; North Chicago
Electric railway; Commonwealth Electric
and General Electric railway opposing
compensation amendments In every in
stance: is leader Of the worst element in
the ward; keeps dlsreputable place.
Under the initiative and refendum such
men would not dare to come up for Of
flee, but even should they get into Of
flee they would be unable to accomplish
anything.

Whnt to TeIl Your BoY.

"The dullest sermon l ever listened
to-" exclaimed Sam, petulantly, as he
came home from church.
YES" replied grandpa. a twinkle in
his eye, II thought so myself"
Did you, granpa?" exclaimed Sam,
glad to have some one stand by him.
Il mean to say thought you thought
So" replied his grandpa. II enjoyed 1t
because my appetite was whetted for
1t before | went to church. While the
minister was preaching l noticed 1T was
just the other way with you"
Just the other way, hOw?" Sam de-
manded.
"Why, before you went" answered
grandpa, INSTEAD of sharpening your ap-
petite for the sermon, you dulled it by
reading the trashy paper. Then instead
Of sitting straight up and looking at the
minister while he preached, ais though
you wanted to catch every word he said
and every expression Of his face, you
lounged down in your seat and turned
half way around. | never knew anybody
who could hear sermon right from the
side Of his head. Then you let your
eyes rove about the church and out of
the window. That dulled the sense. You
dulled your ears by listening to a dog
that was barking, and the milkman's
bell, and the train putting into the sta
ton. You dulled your mind and soul
by thinking you were a terribly abused
boy for having to go to church and stay
through the sermon, and so you made
yourself a dull listener. And l never
knew it to fail in my life that a dull
listener made dull sermon"

Useful knowledge.

A writer in the New York Tribune
gives the following directions for wash
ing eider-doWn garments and also makes
some other useful suggestions:
Make suds Of lukewarm water and the
best laundry soap. Put in the garment
and wash it thoroughly, being careful not
to rub soap on it; that causes it to shrink
in spots and is undesirable in every way.
The best eider-down will not fade and
will bear hard and frequent washings
Do the wearers OF eider-down dressing
sacks and wrappers know that this pecu-
liar and beautiful fabric will not blaze
when held to the fire? 1t will only
smolder, being made of an animal fiber.
Mothers will do we'll to remember this
when they are buying warm garments
for their little ones.
A novelty that busy mothers will APP
preciate is a stocking foot to be used
in mending ehildren's WORKOUT stock
ings. Instead of darning holes the
mother can cut off the WORKOUT foot AMI
attach one Of the ready-made feet to the
good stocking leg. The new feet cost
only 10 cents pair, and are much liked
by the Housewives who have tried them.
To restore lace that has become quite
yellow and yet should not be as white
as it must surely become through wash
ing, make suds in glass jar, drop the
lace in, and stand the jar in the sun.
To remove mildew from white cotton
materials dissolve one and one-half ounces
Of chloride of lime in one quart Of boil
ing water. Strain the liquid through a
thick cloth and soak the widowed spots
in the liquid for several hours. and then
rinse thoroughly in clean water Wet the
goods before putting them to soak.
Shoe leather may be dressed with vas
cline or glycerine. This is especially
good treatment for leather that has be-
come stiff through being wet When
shoes are wet, before putting them away
to dry they should be filled with paper.
The paper absorbs the moisture and rem
ders the shoes softer than they would
otherwise be.
To clean Shetland wool shawl make
a lather Of lukewarm soapsuds and dip
the shawl into it, rubbing and squeezing
gently with the hands. Even the rinsing
water should be softened with little
soap, and particularly is it essential that
the water whenever it is changed should
be exactly the same temperature.

Prairie Farmer.

Prairie Farmer
Many girl, intelligent and educated,
as our ideas go, is constantly mortified
by her lack of ease in conversation. She
finds other girls, vastly her inferior in
actual ability, ever ready with fund
of small talk, as we call it, and she
is the passport to social favor. But such
is not the case She is too self-conscious
perhaps; she should try to lose sight Of
herself as 1t were.
There is one great reason for this lack
Of conversational power and that is that
in too many cases the art is never prac-
tised inside the home circle. Only when
visitors are present is any attempt made
TO hold pleasant converse; the various
members OF the family may gossip little
or talk of personal affairs, but never of
anything of an entertaining or elevating
character The art of conversation is
very much like the game of battledor and
shuttlecock, one needs the Quickness and
dexterity of constant practice to acquire
any proficiency. The dinner hour is very
often, in busy households, the only time
when the whole family Is gathered to-
gether, and 1t should be the time of all
others when worry should be banished,

FOR HOWE READING


assignments to interview two prominent
Philadelphia men who would never give
interviews to anyone.
They were old Dicky Vaux, an ex-
Mayor, who, when asked to talk on poll.
tics, would tell the reporter all about
what fine ducks he had on his farm. and
William II. Kemble, a street railway mag
nate, who would quietly tell the reporter
to go To- some warm place when an inter
view was sought.

bankers son start brlskly out to inter
view them, for | was certain he'd fail
and not have the nerve to come back
again. But he fooled me. He not only
came back, but he wrote out rafting fine
interviews he had had with both the
men. read them and called him over
TO me.

II only for the sake of physical comfort.
Yet this is usually the very time when
the mother will complain Of domestic
worry, the father of business cares and
the daughters of shabby frocks.
This should not be the case; 1t should
be the rule to Danish all complaints and
disagreeable subjects while eating, and
each member Of the family should come
to the table prepared to say something
pleasant. A bright little story, a merry
little joke or perhaps some item Of inter-
esting news you have read In the daily
paper, anything whereby pleasant con-
versatiOn may be started, and how It
brightens the closing Of busy day. An
animated talk and hearty laugh Will
be found a great deal more beneficial
than pounds Of pills.
The girl who wants topics for CONVEX
sation must undoubtedly read the news
papers and some of the leading periodi-
Gals. They are most useful in giving
subjects for general conversation, and
the information thus CLEANED is both
timely and popular, in fact just what one
needs in society. Add to this good tenn
per, and ability to appreciate a joke and
there should be no difficulty in being able
to converse with ease anywhere.

The World Needs More RefOrmers.

Dwight l.. Moody
The most dangerous class Of people in
the world at this time is the class which
has got rich during the last twenty-five
years. This class Is devoted to frivolity,
society, designations and wicked idleness.
The world needs ut this time more Eli
iahs-men bold to follow their own con-
victions and do what is right even in
the face Of sentiment. We need men of
stronger moral courage and sitter back
bones.
Elijah had more power than either
Alexander or Napoleon. He locked up
the skies and the people had neither rain
nor dew for three years and six months.
He had his power through faith. | can
imagine how the men of the court
laughed at him and ridiculed him as he
came into the presence of Ahab to tell
the king that the country should suffer
because of the sins of himself and his
queen. He looked like crank or a
fanatic, and can see Ahab and his wife
sitting at the supper table that night and
making fun of the dreadful threat of the
man Of God, clothed in his harsh coat II
skins.
l don't have any idea that Elijah got
ashamed of his religion the moment the
king and queen and courtiers began to
laugh at his confidence in the power Of
his God or to make fun Of HRS old coat
We need more E'iiahs to stand up against
ridicule as he did.
Elijah had prayer answered. If you
don't get prayer answered you are pray
ing 10 the Wronp Cod and arc rs nitifuI as
the prophets of Baal, who held prayer
meeting from in the morning until in
the afternoon, with $50 Of them on their
