woMEN-FOLK OF THE SENATE.
Ingenious and Amusing Remarks
Are Often Addressed to Those
in Official Society.

Women whose husbands and fathers
are in political life enjoy interesting
experiences and meet with curious peo-
pie at times. 1t is asserted that the
women in the families of candidates for
Office often assist in determining the
outcome of elections. When this is true
tits because of the quiet tact and domes-
tic virtues of the women rather than OF
any specially brilliant performances on
their part. The wife of a prominent
senator, who is also the daughter of
a senator. recalls with much mirth the
days of her fathers campaign. She and
her sister used to accompany him when
he went to make speeches, and wrapped
in waterproof cloaks the young ladies
would mingle with the crowd to hear
the comments of the people. The two
were noted wags and wits, and were
feared for their fun-making proclivi-
ties. The elder was invited once to
visit with her father valued constitu-
ent, whose farm was near the county
town. They went and enjoyed the day
fully, visited the county fair and were
interested In all they saw. At night,
when the young lady had retired to her
room and was partly undressed, there
came knock at the door. She peeped
out and saw the daughter of the house.

piled the other, opening the door. "Do

my pa are such friends that couldn't
help it. But just made up my mind
that If you acted bit stuck up or put

that you did come" This frank certifi-
cate of amiability was much prized by
the recipient.-Mary MINUS Balentine,

To see evil only in others and none in
ourselves is to be blind both ways; for
what we see in others is often but re-
Election of the evil that is in ourselves,
and the good we fancy we see in our
selves may be a reflection of the good
that is in others. In the one case we
may deform goodness by painting it
black and in the other we may adorn
badness by painting it white. Mere
paint never decides the quality of the
thing painted, but only hides the real
quality from view.-Detroit Free Press.

petrie OF trying TO keep them tied, The
patent fasteners that she used to clamp
On her shoes played havoc with her lace
trimmed skirts and the riffles inside
her gown and never did their duty at
that. They were always coming off, as
the many odd clasps in her possession
testify. Ifthe bow IS hid properly there
is no need Of clasps. Tie once, and
proceed as If to make am ordinary double
bow knot. Just before the loops are
pulled tight wrap the lebt-hand loop
under the knot and then pull the loops.
This is an improvement on the old way
of tying the loops, which, if done eff
fectiyely, often caused the nails to be-
come broken in the effort to undo the
work. This bow can be undone by pull
ing the string, just as if it were tied pr
dinarily.-N. Y. journal.

THOMAS c. PuRDY.
A Little Story the Boys Used
to Tell.

Thomas C. Purdy is reported to
be in Russia. A few years ago this
info rmation would have been re-
ceived with an overfowing meas
ure Of delight by every employe on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
road-of which he was general
man ager. Mr.. Purdy, from all
accounts, though a fine railroad
man, was pretty chilly, but on one
occasion at least he got "frozen. !"
He had occasion one morning, as
the story goes, to 60 into the office
at Parse of Angel Matthewson,
who was a director of the road
While the two were conversing
Mr.. Snyder, Matthewson's partner
in the banking business, entered
the room. He was OF course in
troduced to the railroad magnate,
as q matter of politeness, and after
exchanging few words went over
and sat down at his desk. The
Business which brought Mr.. Pur-
dy having been disposed OF he
drew himself up and said: "Mr
Matthewson, came here to see
you, on matter of business; | did
not care to be introduced to your
clerks Mr.. Matthewson very po-
litely but briefly replied: Mr..
Purdy, that man over at that desk
can buy you and | both, and have
money left"-and Mr.. Purdy went
out.

SUMMER HousRwoRK.
Much Dircomfort May Nc Avoided by
Properly Regulating the
Household.


It Is almost midsummer's day and the
last days of June before the house-
keeper is compelled to regulate her
work for sultry weather. June is pro-
verbally the month Of roses and OF
fragrant breezes blowing from fiowery
meadows Housework ON fine days is
usually accomplished with all the in
centive that delightful weather can
give. July and August, on the con-
trary, are months when every contriy-
ance must be resorted to to lessen the
heat within doors, and to do the work
with the least expenditure of nerve and
muscle. A kitchen detached from the
main portion of the house is very de-
sirable during the last two months OF
summer, and may be advantageously
used six months of the year. The CHM
ney of the kitchen, in any event, should
be built on the outside of the house.
There is nothing gained by having IL
within the walls of the house., except
on the coldest days of winter. A ldtch-
en- chimney passing through the house
occupies valuable room, and is usually
a cause of annoyance during at least
six months in the year. In summer 1t
often renders two or more rooms un-
comfortable. 1t heats the attic as it
passes through, and this heat, together
with the heat gathered from the roof,
affects the atmosphere of all the upper
rooms in the house. The attic of all
houses with metal or slate roofs should
be isolated by packing of mineral
wool or some other material, which
will keep away the heat; but compara-
lively few houses are built in this way.
In old-fashioned times the ample Chin
ney Of the kitchen took up so much
room that It was generally built upon
the outside Of the house. Ss.
The stove of gasoline or of oil now
takes the place Of the winter cookstovo
that burns wood or coal, in many kitch-
ems in summer. On general baking
days, or for the heavier work Of the
kitchen, where there is large family,
an oil or gasoline stove should be sup
plemcnted by an oven of iron or brick
or the use of cooking stove on certain
days in the week. There is great deal
gained in summer when the kitchen is
a one-story extension and there are
ventilators placed over the cookstove to
carry away the odors of cooking, as
well as the heat. The roof of such a
kitchen should be isolated from the
Kitchen ceiling by heavy packing of
some material that will keep off the
heat of the roof. There should be
ventilated space or shallow air cham
Der to assist to the same end. If there IL
a cellar kitchen or "cold room" di-
rectly under the main kitchen, where
dishes may be prepared, or parts OF
dishes, which do not require to be
cooked over fire, the arrangements
for the summer cooking will be emf
nently satisfactory An abundant flow
of air is necessary to summer kitch-
en-, and this can only be secured with
out flies and other insects by the use of
wire screens at the windows and doors.
A special oven for use on baking days
is great help to the housekeeper, and
in that case the cooking of large
family can be done on comparative
" small range.-N. Y. Tribune.

CONvICTS SEEK RELEASE.
Sentences, Cherokee Prisoners Claim,
Expire With the Abolition Of
the Courts.

Muskogee, l. t., Dec. 2S.-A
case which involves the right of
the Cherokee nation to continue to
confne it's thirty five convicts in
the Cherokee penitentiary at Tah-
lequah. has been filed at Muskogee.
The proceeding is in the nature of
a petition for writ of habeas cor
pus, filed by William Clark. 1t
recites that Clark is convict, con-
fined in the Cherokee penitentiary
at Tahlequah,. under a sentence
from a Cherokee court which was
imposed upon him prior to the
Curtis bill, which abolished the
Cherokee courts. Clark claims
that the laws under which he was
sentenced have been repealed, and
that the court which rendered the
judgmedt and pronounced the SEN
tence is by law abolished, together
with all of It's jurisdiction. He
therefore claims that he is unlaw
fully held in prison and prays the
court to give him his liberty.
Should Judge Thomas, on final
hearing, grant the writ it will be
the means OF freeing every pris-
oner now confined in the peniten-
tiary at Tahlequah.
