In his acceptance letter Mr.. BRYAN
said: "A small percentage of the

Mr. Bryan to make arid lands the mar

ii would have many points of novelty
and would harmonic and reconcile

Serious voters are not likely to enjoy
the implied joke.
Mr.. Bryan's endorsement of the pro-
ject of making arid land cultivable has
not an aspect of novelty except to the
ignorant.

The new bell sleeve is already great

the second empire, it bore the name Of
psgoda. 1t is plain on the shoulders,
whence it gradually expands towards
the wrists. where it forms a wide bell
like opening, displaying the wrists and
part Of the arm. 1t is lined with silk
and hounced with lace within when in
tended for full dress, the lace falling
gracefully over the bejeweled arm be-

inner sleeve Of muslin, lace, tulle or any
other transparent material, made full

THEIR NEIGHBoRLY WAY.


A young woman of Washington birth
and rearing who has made her home
for these three years past in a small
Indiana town says that for tact and
diplomacy she knows nobody to equal
her neighbors out there, relates the
Washington Post. She had scarcely
settled herself in her new home when
one day she heard hen proudly
cackling in her back yard. She went
out to see what could have brought
strange hen into her yard. and
found that the fowl had just laid an
egg in the woodbox outside tine kitchen
door. While she was still wondering
where on earth the creature had come
from the shock head of thin and tall
girl of IL rose over the fence which
divided the yard from the yard of the
house next door.
"Hello!" said the girl.
"Good-morning," answered the
Washingtonian.
We've got plenty o eggs" remarked
the girl. "Maw SAYS you kin have
that one our hen jes' laid in that
woodbox o yOurn."
Thank you very much," said the
Washingtonian.
The girl still hung on the fence.
I'VE amt goin' to charge you moth.
in fer it," she went on.
That's very kind. indeed" an
swered the new neighbor.
''Its a gift" remarked the girl.
Then there was silence for a few
moments. The girl still clung to her
side of the fence.
"Say," she said, finally. 'maw says
now you're acquainted with us folks
she'd like to borry q tack hammer"

How q Few Words Of ComplIment
Cheerea . Tired House wife's
Heart.

"One Of the most glsring faults Of
Lour age" said the doctor of divinity. as
he stirred his mocha and java, ''is the
absence Of spirituality"
YES" said the professor. helping
himself to lamb chops and mullins, "peo-
pie are growing more and more ma
terial in their views of life
1T is not on.y spirituality, but in
tellectuality that is On the wane." said
the judge, eying appreciatively the
Jersey cream that his hostess was pour
ing over saucer of Strawberries.
'Look. for instance, at the thousands
of people who never read anything but
the newspapers, who are really dead
from a mental standpoint"
The doctor and professor emphatical-
ly Endorsed the noble sentiments Of the
judge. and the symposium pursued ito
course. along with the courses of the
breakfast, says the Washington Star.
1t was a delicious breakfast to eat, and
. charming one to look at. A crystal
vase in the middle of the table held q
stalk of white lilies; their petals
matched the snowy tablecloth and
their gold stamens the embroidery on
the centerpiece. There was pretty
array of delicate china and solid silver.
The red of the Strawberries and toma-
toes and the brown Of chops, toast and
mullins made a nice color scheme. 4
bunch of scarlet poppies andfeathery
ferns looked into the mirror of the
sideboard, and the morning wind came
in through the folds of fresh, white
curtains. 1t Was fitting place for the
discussion of intellectually and spir-
ituality.
At the foot Of the table sat small,
tired-looking woman, who took no part
in the symposium. Calmly and indus
triously she poured coffee and sugared
Strawberries. furtively watching the
children's table manners and her
guests needs. No one would have
dreamed that she had sonl above muf-
fms but her brain kept up running
commentary on the remarks of the
judge, the doctor and the professor.
intellectually and spirituality, in
deed! You look intellectual and spir-
itual, don't you? Maybe you are; but
il you men ever get SO intellectual and
spiritual that you don't have to eat,
then there'll be some chance for women
to cultivate their intellects and spirits.
Not intellectual to read the newspa-
pers? Well. wouldn't be thankful il
l had time to read newspaper? And
as for spirituality, Heaven knows I'm
too tired at night even to say my pray
ers. Haven't cooked and cleaned

MADAM" said the doctor, in his most
impressive tone.
The little woman turned to him with
. deferential manner.
Madam, this is the best breakfast
have eaten for many day."
[ And then, if you will believe it. all
the bitterness went out of that wom-
ans heart in an instant, and she bright
ened up as il the doctor had said:
MADAM, you have written the finest
novel of the century"

ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFS.
Learn n Soon ~ She Can
Sew.

There is no better way for q girl
to learn to sew than to make for her.
self a number of dainty handker-
chiefs, as very neat sewing must be
employed in all work of this kind, and
us yard of sheer linen is enough for
several of them it is much cheaper to
make them at home. II she wants
trimming other than, ,hemstitching
she can make this also, IL she can knit,
crochet OF make tatting, and any of
these are very dainty as well as dur
able, says the Housekeeper.
1t is quite q feature of economy
to get q width Of linen that will cut
two handkerchiefs, and there is moth
ing better than India linen of a fine,
close quality. In hemstitching only
three threads should be drawn, as 1t
gives q much neater effect, and to
make the threads easier to draw the
material must be dampened and
pressed before beginning the work.
. The girls should not only learn how
to make their own handkerchiefs. but
they should learn to launder them as
well, for the average laundress is de-
void of conscience and pity toward
these sheer articles, and il they are
washed by the owner in her own
washbowl they are spared the sacri-
fee occasioued by hard rubbing on
the washboard.
Soft water is always preferable for
washing these dainty articles, and to
wash them so they will be beautiful
ly white stir enough pearline in the
warm water to make foamy lather.
then wash between the hands, and
while still damp spread smoothly over
a marble slab or large window pane
or mirror. Let them remain until
perfectly dry, then fold evenly and
press between boards or in a large
book.
II one is an expert needlewoman she
can have quite a number of handker-
chiefs with very little expenditure of
money, and if she will launder them
herself she may keep them looking
fresh and dainty. 1t is said that moth
ing shows a woman's degree of refine
ment more than her handkerchief.

the expenses of the democratic cam
paign fund IN the United States"
The above is about as foolish an
article as was ever written. If, how
ever, it should be true that 'sOom
Paul" has contributed $2.5OO,OO0 to
the democratic cause, it is money
given IN the hope of liberty, by
man who is seeking to give his peo-
pie freedom. The money is from a
sacred cause and is gwen with view
to help the people and lift from their
shoulders, burdens. The republican
contributions come from the trusts,
which seek to add burdens to the peo-
pie. The Hollanders in this country,
however. know where their friends
are. The democratic and peoples
party are with them in their fight for
freedom.

Log Rolling.

The second day of the Woodmsn
meeting called out big crowd. At
IL o'clock parade was formed head
ed by the Phillipsburg Cornet Band,
commanded by Capt Tucker, which
marched through the city and to the
grounds. The prize of $40 which
was offered to the camp having the
largest percentage of members in the
procession was awarded the Rose
wood camp, of Grow. which turned
out about sixty per cent of it's mem
bers. The forenoon was devoted to
sociabilIty and in the afternoon
speeches were made by Neighbors
Irwin, Hageman and Lewis of this
city and Mrs. E. c. Allen, member
of the Board of Managers of the r.
n. OF A. The local speakers made
very interesting talks. Mrs, Allen
devoted her time to the Royal Neigh
bors and their work. The heat and
dust of the afternoon were such that
the lady spoke under many difficult
les, nevertheless she presented the
claims of the order in a very elo-
quent and impressive manner Be-
log thoroughly acquainted with her
work, she talked in such manner as
to hold the attention of all. The lat
ter part of the afternoon was devoted
to social entertainment. The log
rolling from q financial point of view
was a great SUCCESS as AL bills were
paid in full and a good balance
turned over to the local camp.
