xNoTLEss eUBERhAToRIAL TIMBER

The Washington corresr ondent OF
the Milwaukee Sentinel, under date
of Sept. q, reports that w. a. Jones,
of Mineral Point, present L. ;. com
missioner of Indian affairs, upon
being interviewed relative to his
candidacy for governor replied as
follows:
IF you mean by that question whether am
a candidate in the sense Of making an effort
20 secure the nomination ! must say that ! am
not. am frank to say that ] should accept
the nomination If it were rendered me, but !
have not turned a hand over 10 promote such
a result nor shall do so. This is all care to
say on the subject and have no statement 10
make nor did know that there were rumors
anoat that was expecting TO make any state
ment concerning the governorship.'
Here is frankness worthy of con-
sideration. MIR. Jones assertion that
he j. not making an effort TO secure
the nomination, yet would accept it
If it were rendered him, is character
istic Of the man as all who know him
will readily coucede. Such a stand
affords the Republican party an OPP
portunity to present a candidate
whom the office seeks, and if the
voters practice what they preach
shat the Office should seek the man
and not the man the Office Mr..
Jones would be elected by a major
ity not likely to be eXcelled during
the remaining ninety-nine years OF
the twentieth century Wisconsin,
is full of candidates for its chief eX-
ecutive, but not one has spoken rs
plainly and independently as Mr.
Jones. His ability, fitness and grace
for the position are incouteotable
and being from section of the state
that is always counted ON, and never
found wanting, to roll up a big re-
publican majority, but from which a
leader for the state ticket has not
been chosen for over a third of cen
tury, what argument against his
nomination can be we'll sustained.

Meat Stands for Big Money.

Meat has advanced to remark
ably high price Cattle sold for s6. so
per hundred, live weight, in Chicago
the other day, which is said to be the
highest price reached in September
since 1884. The cause Of the adj
vance is a continued shortage in the
supply in the face Of IA steadily in
creasing demand for home cousump-
ton and for export. The heavy
meat eaters of moderate means are
the most disturbed in consequence.
These must gradually regulate them
selves to the new economic condi-
tious thus forced upon them. II
there is truth in the saying "too
much meat is injurious to the sys-
TEN" the advent Of the out-of-reach
prices might reasonably be regarded
as blessing, and with a due obser-
walton Of the recommendations of
vegetarians much improved con
ditiou in the health Of the human
family be the result.

So many of the new fields of work
are so much more suited to feminine
Wage-earners than the more manly
branches that many girls have taken
up with success. that it would seem
as though the trend Of wOmanS work
We're settling into more conguial
paths; paths with a pecuniary reward
larger than those in which they meet
with the competition Of men, says the
Criterion. Two young college gradu-
ates women of culture and education,

avenue. New York. and take orders
for marketing from private families
They have sent out business circulars

do marketing for families, daily or
weekly, and will furnish only perfect
goods in good condition at moderate
prices. They watch the markets and
keep their patrons informed as to the
delicacies that appear in and out Of
season. They also do a large trade in
supplying linen, glass, cutlery and

town people as well as New Workers
These two women have made a study
of meats fish, poultry, game and
fruits, so that they know the best
qualities with the discrimination Of
practiced marketmen. They are able
TO detect that bane of city households,
cold-storage food, and as they buy
largely they have select qualities
saved for them from the rapacious
nav of the club stewards, who usual

One of the young women attends to
the office work of the firm. while the
other does the buying, sees customers
and makes estimates for table eX-

HAIRPINS RUIN THE HAIR.
How to Properly Treat the scalp and
the Hair.

To keep the hair in good condition
1t Is absolutely necessary not only IN
brush ii with clean brushes and praot
regularity. but certainly once ia two
weeks to give it thorough shampoo
ing so that every particle of dust may
be removed from it. The soft. FURY
look of the hair, and its beautifm
gloss after being shampooed, shows
how grateful it is for the treatment
given it. Experience, though some
times a tiresome teacher, has taught
me that the best way to cleanse the
scalp and the hair is to use very bor
water made ''soap-sudy" with tor
soap; use nail brush upon which the
soap has been rubbed, to scrub the
scalp thoroughly, and after every
part of the scalp is washed rinse The
hair and head with baths of water
the first being the temperature of thar
used for washing the hair, and the
last ordinarily cool. the baths be-
tween having been gradually graded
To get such a bath for the head il is
only necessary to hold ones head over
the basin and have the water from
small pitcher poured over it, Each
bath necessitates the wringing out uf
the hair until it is quite free from
! soafaU,la, and aHtii Tho g,rtei' rs Ys-
| clear as before it went over the head.
| When the hair is shampooed it is wise
| TO put on loose wrapper than cannot
| be injured either by water or SOAP.
| do not advise the use of fan in dry
| ing the hair. as it has been found to
| give many women severe colds. nor
| ITO recommend the loose Turkish
| toweling for rubbing the hair, since it
| is apt to leave tufts of white cotton
| all through; but for the first rubbing
use a thick. hard Turkish towel, and
| after that rub the hair and the head
| with ordinary towels which have been
made hot for this purpose. You Will
! be surprised to see how quickly and
| comfortably the hair dries DO not
| put the hair up until it Is perfectly
dry: or ii will remain damp for long
time and have a close mOldy. ANA al
| together undesirable smell about it,
Use as few hairpins as YOU possibly
| can.-LadieS' Home Journal.

Don't Litter Up the Hail.

Many women labor under the delu-
sion that in order 10 give the hall an
appearance of cozineSs they must hang
up curtains in it. and fill it with knick-
kuacks
The mere suggestion of such thing
makes an ordinary man shudder The
curtains get in his way, ana he knocks
his hat against them. This is bad for
the hat
, The only curtains necessary to the
hall are those ut the wildow and the
cheap knickknacks should be burnt
They deceive no one; they are
not pretty, and they get IN the way.
If you would make the hall coy ID
cold weather, try the effect Of a blaz-
ing log-in the CRATE, of course.
In one Of his musical sketches a pep
ular entertainer mentions the peculiar
fact that in many homes the visiting
card of the dear duchess" will get oR
the top of the others in the hall This
little matter does not concern the nus
band. but what he does look for on tht
hall table is a little vacant space.
He wants this TO lay his paper eh
when he comes in and takes his coat
off. ana the vacant space is useful ~
other ways. Therefore do not crowd
the bali table with flowers and other
