Laying Gathers.

Laying gathers is a time honored
operation, as Irritating and nerve
wearing as it is necessary. Since
learning to accomplish the same re-
suit in a lar easier way, the present
writer has taught the knack to sew
eral friends and all, without exception
are enthusiastic. Use a long, strong
needle; that is, a coarser me than
you would ordinarily use for the work
in hand. Gather the needle full, keep
ing the thimble finger at the eye of
the needle, so that no stitches escape
on to the thread. When you can
force on no more cloth, still holding
the thimble in place, with the thumb
and first finger hold the gathers firm
ly on the needle at the point end.
With the left thumb and first and
second fingers, pull the gathers, W
or three at a time. straightdown from
the needle with a swinging motion,
sliding the fingers under the material
and pulling down with the thumb,
beginning at the left and working
toward the right. When the work is
slipped on to the thread it will
be a. fat as if each gather had
been painfully "scratched" into place.
The two processes are practically ac-
complished in one, and after a few
trials and with a little patience, you
will never go back to the "good old
way."-Good Housekeeping.

Mrs, Nation at Liberty,

The jury in the case of Mrs. Carrie
Nation, charged with wrecking saloon
property, failed to agree. Mr.. David
Nation testified that his wife began
her ''smashing'' crusade against sa-
looms upon the advice of himself and
Ed Sample of Medicine lodge, as
lawyers; telling her that saloons were
outside the pale tof the law and could
be abated in any manner any individ-
ual may choose. The court sustained
IN objection made to the evidence,
and it was withdrawn. Mrs. Nations
attorneys are fighting the case on the
theory that no person acting under
the advice of a lawyer as to the legal
ity OF action a be held responsible
for an ofense committed against the
law.
Mrs. Nation was released from the
county jail at Topeka on March IL,
upon giving bond in the sum of So 600
to keep the peace and to appear for
trial at the April term of the district
court to answer the charge of mali
c6ous trespass and destruction of
property, preferred against her by
Moeser Bros, proprietors of the
Topeka cold storage plant.
The first issue of Mrs. Nations
paper, the <'Smasher's Moa," appear
ed on March g. It has sixteen pages,
four columns to a page. The editori-
ais, written in the county Jail, are all
signed by Mrs. Nation.

The BaBlet the Home Protectors Weapon
To the liquor traffic. especially to
the lawfess liquor traffic, is due no
small share of the increasing oma
suffrage sentiment, and events in
Kansas will doubtless serve to further
arouse the public mind as to the rights
of women citizens in the protection
of their homes. This is what the
Topeka Capital says
"For the first time since the endew-
ment of 10 with municipal euf-
frage the best women of Topeka are
deeply concerned and intensely active
in the campaign for the nomination
of law and order me- for mayor and
city attorney at the approaching
republican primaries. Women who
are not strong suffragists, cores of
women who, if the truth were known,
doubtless disapprove of equalsuffrage,
are neglecting theEr household duties
to enb9r into a spirited house to house
anvas Of Topeka in the larger inter
ests Of their homes, their children
and their city, appealing to other
women and to the men of Topeka to
give chem at this time a city govern
ment that will be free from the
scandal of joints and saloons in open
defiance of the laws. X
What will the men of Topeka do
under these circumstances? How
much are they willing to do for a
decent city government when their
wives, mothers and daughters are so
profoundly stirred by the shame of
cred nosed men in white aprons'
Dragging that they will control the
politics Of this city. X =
With Topeka's noble womanhood
fighting OF one side and the Joints
unitedly opposing them, how will
Topekazs men vote at Saturdays pri-
maries?"'

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM - was

ton of the bladder, was sick in bed
with it. L had two doctors, but they
did me no good. A friend gave me
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it helped me. l have now
taken three bottles of it, and | am
entirely cured. 1t is a God-send to

under the British flag and at the solicitation
of few friends who were present one even
ing related the following experience: At the
age of II years, being possessed of a spirit of
adventure, he ran away from home and went
to Boston, where he shipped ON board the
barque Isabella as cabin boy for the West
Indies, from which place cargo of sugar was
brought to South Boston. Having acquired a
taste for sea life, he next went to the banks of
Newfoundland on a cod-lishing expedition,
and finally drifted around to Portland, Me-,
where he shipped on board vessel for Liver
pool, going from the latter place to Hong
Kong, China, on a full rugged American ship.
San Francisco was the next point visited, then
around the Horn to Ireland. traversed the
Mediterranean, Black and Baltic seas, visited
Russia, France, Prussia and Germany. lie
next went to Port Elizabeth, South Africa,
where he sojourned twelve months and after
again visiting England, set sal for Melbourne,
Australia, and lead the life of herder in that
country for period of eleven months lie
visited Bombay, India, came up the Red and
Mediterranean stas to France Making a
second visit TO South Africa and across to
south America, he there shipped on board the
Senator for New York. In Mr.. Nichols ex-
perienoe he rose from cabin boy to first mate,
visited almost every country on the globe,
rounded Cape Horn four times and the cape of
Good Hope twenty-four times, served in the
Zulu war in South Africa and for seven years
saw no snow. For the last three years Mr..
Nichols has been serving as quartermaster on
board one of the large steam boats that ply
from Boston to Nantasket Beach. Mr.. Nichols
narrative was inttrspersed with thrilling Incl
dents Of adventure, and while related not in a
spirit of Boosting or from any thought of
notoriety, it is doubtful if there are many per-
sons of Mr.. Nichols age who have passed
