ECONOMY IN DRESS.
Care of the wardrobe Goes Far To-
ward Reducing the Cost
of Clothing.

1t does not always follow that the
well-dressed woman expends an un-
usual amount of money upon her
robe. The chances are that she spends
less than her more poorly-dressed
neighbor. The difference is that the
one makes the subject of dress a study
while the other does not. One we'll
dressed woman who has plenty Of
money at her disposal, remarked
proudly: 81 spend less on dress than
any of my sisters" When asked how
such thing could be, for she really
dressed better than they, she re-
Piled: Il don't buy the first thing |
happen to see." This was her way of
saying that she made a selection only
after having made an examination OF
the different varieties of goods which
the market afforded, or in other words
that she gave the same intelligent con-
sideration to the subject of dress that
she would do to any other with which
she might have to deal.
What one wears is and should be re-
garded as being in a measure an index
of ones character. The quiet, mod
est woman does not choose fashy col
ors for street wear, nor does the pru-
dent one put her entire outlay upon
one gown which can be worn only
upon rare occasions and for which she
has no accessories. The thoughtful
woman does not deem it at all neces-
sarv to have a bonnet for every dress
when she can, by careful planning,
manage to have one that will be suit
able 10 wear with each Of her several
gowns. To obtain the best results one
should decide at the beginning CT the
season Just what sum shall be set aside
for dress and the seasons outfit be
planned accordingly. The study and
forethough which is thus necessarily
given to the subject will often enable
the woman of slender purse to dress
in better taste than her more favored
sister, who buys anything to suit her
fancy at the moment.
The care given ones wardrobe is an
important item to be considered il one

perior in many ways, yet, although she
spends considerable for dress general
" presents a more or less dowdy ap-
pearance. After a few months wear
her dresses, which are often handsome
to begin with, are burst at the seams
and so spotted as to be almost unpre-
sentable. When she goes out 10 spend
the afternoon she takes no pains to
change her dress on returning home
but wears It to work about the house
the rest of the day. and 1t is only q
short time till the gown is too shabby
to wear from home. Another woman
who adopts the opposite plan, always
has in her wardrobe generous supply
OF pretty gowns. The secret was ex
planned by one Of her intimate friends
who said: "Mrs. Blank does not bu,

made over every year. The old ones
help to save the new ones, so that she
has always supply" These two
cases are doubtless extreme ones, but
they illustrate the fact that every wom-
an can, II she choose, dress neatly and
becomingly, though she expend but a
small sum of money for dress.-House-

NATIONAL III Mn.

We are marching on to glory with the
Bible in our hand,
We are carrying the Gospel to the lost in
foreign lands;
We are march ON to glory, we are going
forth TO save
With the zeal Of ancient pirate, with the
prayer of modern knave;
We are robbing Christian churches in
our missionary zeal,
And we carry Christ's own message in
our shells and bloody steel;
BY the light of burning roof trees they
may read the Word of Life;
In the mangled formsa Of children they
may see the Christian strife;
We are healing with the Gatling, we are
blessing with the sword
For the Honor of the Nation and the
Glory of the Lord.
Then march on, Christian soldiers, with
sword and torch in hand,
And carry free salvation to each benight-
ed land
Go. preach Gods love and justice with
steel and shot and she'll
Go, preach a future Heaven and prove a
present He'll!
Baptize with blood and fire, with every
guns hot breath
Teach them to love the Father, and
make them free in Death;
Proclaim the newer Gospel-the cannon
giveth peace
Christ rides upon the warship His army
to increase.
SO, bless them with the rifle and heal
them with the sword
For the Honor of the Nation and the
Glory of the Lord.

is the poem of the year. Editorl.
WHO will haul down the fiag?' quoth he
And no man an answer gave.
But who will haul UP the flag, ask we,
Where the flag ought never to wave?
Over an arrogant mission of spoil
That takes, as a matter of course,
n subject race and a conquered soil
And a government based on force?
Answer us, answer us, true and fair,
Who will haul up Old Glory there?
'Who will haul down the flag?" quoth he.
Nay, think how it first went up
When war astride Of the land and sea
Poured wrath from his trimming cup.
When brave men died and left in bequest
One pledge for the great and the small:
Not stars for a few and stripes for the
rest,
But the flag of our country for all!
Answer us, truly and plainly, we pray,
Was that not its meaning in Washing
toms day?
From Washington's day to Jackson's
time,
From Yorktown to New Orleans,
Did any man follow that flag sublime
And doubt what the symbol means?
Free self ruled States, each one as a star
Fixed fast in a field of blue,
Fenced in by the blood red stripes of war
To preserve them for me and you!
Answer us, now, do you dare to drag
The old faith out of our fathers flag?
"Who will haul down the f1agy quoth he.
Why, no hand of flesh and bone
Can lower that flag ON land and sea
Till the faith of the flag is gone!
Till few shall rule and cunningly keep
The bunting to garnish their greed,
Till dollars are dear and humanity cheap
BY the force of tory creed
Then will it fall! But answer us clear,
Do you fancy that hour is drawing near?
Did our liberty bell ring in vain?
Was our Declaration lie?
Must we turn to the Old World again
With the penitent prodigars cry?
Must we arm us and march in the van
OF Europe's barbaric parade
And boom out a gunpowder gospel to
man
TO open a pathway for trade?
Shall we strut through the world with
buster and brag,
With the dollar mark stamped on the
brave old flag?
Nay, haul up the flag. raise it high;
Not yet its proud spirit spent!
Let it sing in the wind and the sky
The truth that it always meant!
Let it sing of the birthright of man,
OF progress that never can lagi
Let it sing that trade may go where it
can.
But liberty follows the fagi Il.
Yea, haul up Old Glory, but, comrades,
take heed
That no man shall part the old flag from
the creed!

1t doesn't seem to worry about affairs Of
state.
But it tells that Joseph Hawkins has
painted his front gate"
1t never mentions Kruger or Joseph

1t says that 'cider-making is shortly to

And cites the fact that Ira Todd is

1t mentions Dewey's coming in one
brief paragraph,
And says that Charlie Trimble has
sold yearling calf"
And everything that happens within that
little town
The man who runs the paper has plainly
jotted down.

by Jasper Ewing Brady, LIST Lieuten-
ant 18th Z. S. infantry. late Captain
of Signal Corps, L. S. Volunteers. II
Illustrated. Publishers: Doubleday u
Mcclure CO., New York.
This book is made up of series of adj
ventures of a telegraph operator from
a student in a Western ham factory TO
a captain in the Z. S. Signal Service. 1t
is in a sense an autobiography of an
operator who is as much of a hero as
any man who stormed San Juan Hill.
Few people think of the Importance and
responsibility of the operator upon
whose skill and capacity mems lives and
interest depends. These stories, which
are full of human interest and told
dramatically, win delight all readers and
make them have a higher estimate of
the man at the telegraph Instrument
