A FRIEND OF KINGS.
His Views Did Not Hold When 1t Came
to Poker.

a government official who moved over on
Capitol Hill about three months ago. has
been particularly known on that eminence
by his extreme American views and his
everlasting antagonism to thrones and scep-
ters and everything monarchical. However
there seems to have come a change over
the spirit of the man, or somebody Is mis-
representing him. A neighbor of his was
talking to a reporter on the car coming
down Wednesday morning.
You know Blank?" said the neighbor
evidently with suppressed feeling.
The chap who is always slugging kings
and queens and emperors and satraps and
tycoons in the neck?" queried the reporter.
Yes"

him. but know about him"
We'll, don't get any nearer"

HIS TEETH WERE HIS OWN.
And Yet the Facts Were Rather Out
of the Ordinary.

Four or five travelling men around the
hotel stove had been talking about teeth,
when one of them got up and saying good
night went off to bed.
Did you notice what fine teeth that party
had?" said a man from St. Louis. He
won't acknowledge they are false, or rather
he insists that they are his own, and yet
he doesn't quite tell the truth. My brother
is a dentist in Kansas City. and this man
lives there. and my brother does his work
for him. Not that he tells me anything,
but merely an incident, for everybody
who knows the man knows the circum-
stances. His teeth are his own. and at the
same time they are false. You don't UNI
derstand. 50 I'll explain. He always had
unusually fine teeth. but about five Years
ago they showed signs of Riggs disease,
an affection which causes the gums to re-
cede from the roots, leaving them exposed
some distance down from the enameled sur
face. In aggravated cases or where the
person is Very sensitive the disease is very
painful and it is almost impossible to re-
l!eve it. To cure it is practically impossi-
BILE. for the gums will not grow back again.
This man was of the sensitive kind and
although physicians and dentists tried their
skill on him they could do nothing. and he
suffered 50 that at last he told my brother
to extract every tooth in his mouth and
put false ones in for him. As nothing else
could be done my brother followed instruc-
tons and pulled every tooth. They We're
all in perfect condition. and as my brother
looked them over. regretting that his pa
tent was forced to give them up, a novel
idea occurred to him, which he at once told
to the other man. who agreed to it will
ingly- This was that instead of making
artificial teeth. the usual custom,
these same teeth be used exactly as if,they
We're artificial. My brother who is a first
class dentist always, was more than Ordi-
narily careful on this job and when he
had mounted the teeth in plate measured
to a hairs breadth and slipped them into
his patients mouth they fitted as If they
had grown there. as it were. and now there
isn't one man in a thousand can tell that
they are false, II, indeed. false they are.
At the same time there isn't any more
Riggs disease TO trouble him.

1t is an interesting sight on pay days to
see the government clerks standing in a line
that reaches far down the corridors. The
animated expression on their faces bespeak
the feelings of the individuals. The mo-
naent is temporarily supreme one, it mat

So plainly reveal.
A few days ago in one of the downtown
departments large number of clerks were
standing in line keeping up a somewhat
suppressed, yet quite audible chatter with
their fellow clerks, when two women, APP
parently strangers in the city, and who
were on the lookout not to miss anything
worth seeing. came sauntering into the cor
rider. Seeing the limo of clerks. the elder
ore loudly whispered to her companion:

places in the line. Gradually the line kept
moving forward some of the clerks were
paid off, and other clerks took their places

and as they gradually drew nearer the front
OF the line they began to speculate as to

their curiosity got the better of them, and

ratified question after question without Civ

clerk could not refrain from smiling as she
replied: "Oh, this is pay day, and these

Uses for Lemons.

No family should be without lemons.
Their are almost too many for emu

The juice of lemon in hot water on
awakening in the morning is an excellent
liver corrective, and for stout women is
better than any anti-fat medicine ever in
vented.

thing in the world wherewith to mofsten

The finest of manicure acids is made by

ENGLISH WINDOW GARDENS.
Prizes offered in Kentish Village
for Small Flower Displays.


Not long ago 1 spent several weeks In
summer in the little village of Ketton, and
while there came to know a pretty custom
which it seems to me might be introduced
into this country-that of giving prizes for
the most pleasing windows filled with
house plants.
The houses of Ketton are built of stone.
Almost without exception they stand close
to the street, for English gardens are be-
hind the houses. or behind high walls. and
so near the sidewalks that the flowers
which fill them show to the best advantage.
l had often admired the beautiful displays
in Ketton and wondered at them, until l
happened to learn that they had a definite
object besides that of ornament.
A small fund had been set aside some
years before by wealthy lady, the income
to be devoted to giving prizes each year
to the possessor of the finest window gar
den. The sum available for premiums was
not large-as l remember it now, e a year
(about 500. / believe the three prizes Were,
respectively, e. Il shiliings and shillings.
That would be So, 50 and 81. The only re-
strictions were that no one should COM
pete who had a greenhouse-small glass
houses for forcing are much more com
mon in England than they are here,
that the competition should include only
one window in house, thus putting the oc-
cupant of the smallest house on fair foot
ing with her more prosperous neighbors,
and that the general scheme of arrange
ment should be decided on at least one
month before the day set for awarding the
prizes, and not altered during the month.
This last condition was to prevent any one
from procuring greenhouse or other plants
at the last moment and making tempo
rary display. There were three judges. The
year 1 was there the judges were the wears
wife another lady and the village school,
master.
There was a great deal of variety in the
different windows. more than one would at
fiji st think possible. for the English are nat
ural gardeners. The interest taken was
intense, not only by the contestants, in each
others windows, as the designs developed,
but by all the residents Of the town. The
window which took the first prize the year
I was there was a study in green and yell
low. A number of shelves We're fastened
across the window inside, and alternate
shelves were filled with pots of lobelias.

the window was filled solidly full by the
day the judges made their tour of inspec-
ton, and the effect of the mass of foliage
and flowers in the soft gray setting of time

was very beautiful.

Khaki the New Fad.

Khaki is to be the smart material for
country wear. The Princess Of Wales set
the fashion in England by ordering coat
and skirt of the same cloth as is worn by
the imperial yeomanry. The Duke Of York
has gone further, for he has not only a
complete suit, but Homburg hat Of the
material AS it is light and warm without
being harsh. this stuff will shortly become
the correct thing for the Saturday to Mon
day parties. By the way, all the hostesses
in the best English set write their notes on
khaki paper prepared from the material au-
thorized for military clothing by the war
Office.
The Duchess of Connaught's newest Irish
blouse has been made uD with a tucked
frill and tucked silk collar drapery. The
waist is finished with a draped velvet band
fastening with large fancy shamrock
buckle. An applique design finishes the
material and lace completes the wrist 1t
has a close-fitting lining foundation shaped
with darted front, back and single side
piece sections 1t Is met by a seamless ma
terial back, and the single side piece Is used
for shaping both lining and material. The
back yoke is similarly shaped to the front,
but not quite so deep.
The stylish blouse front meets the yoke
where it is bordered with narrow passemen-
terfe and with pretty designs in applique
lace, the back being ornamented to cor
respond. The blouse is bouffant at the
waist in front, while the back fits closely to
the lining. A graduated frill of silk trims
the left side from the shoulder to the waist
and the upper sleeve Is tucked across the
shoulder and mounted to the lining upper
and the under is cut out the same both in
lining and material.
The graceful skirt Is fitted with a dart
on either side, and the box plat shows two
rows and, like the front gore. is placed to
the fold Of the material, which avoids a
center seam. The skirt is made up in three
parts, including box-plaited back. seamless
front gore and wide side back gore. II ia

tune goods adapted to the present season
