PRETTY PLANT BASKET.

follow these directions, they may cul-
tivate a very pretty hanging basket.
Let them ask the greengrocer for
a carrot from which the top foliage
has not been cut away. Cut away
the carrot, leaving only about a
couple of inches at the end where it
joins the fern. Scoop out the inside
of this short piece of carrot and
pour a little water into it. Then
hang up this little bowl, still leaving
the foliage upon it. At first the fern
will appear to be growing upside
down, but after a time it will grow
upward in the right direction.
Fill the hollow part with water
from time to time as the water
dries up, and occasionally place the
carrot end in a different position,
for the side nearest the window will
grow thicker and quicker than that
which has less light.

The Art of SkIppinr

The Living Age remarks that some
of the fundamental principles of the
useful art Of skipping are suggested
by Mr.. Anthony Deane. in the follow
ing passage in the London Pilot:
When | meet a paragraph which be-
gins: at is now necessary to retrace
our steps somewhat to explain" or.
"The crimson sun by this time neared
the horizon. Far over the hills
stretched a vault of heavy cloud, its
strange, purple tints fading and dis
solving into"-or But the contents
Of this room, his sanctum sanctorum,

or, so strange, unfathomable mystery
of existence, compelling our purblind
race"-when, | say, meet a passage

TAX FERRETs.
Adverse Decision In the CouIts OF story
Comfy.

Nevada, Nov. IL Judge Whitaker
rendered an important tax ferret de-
cision yesterday in two cases involv-
ing the right of the county auditor to
act in conjunction with the ferrets in
assessing omitted property. Fleener,
Carnahan & Co who have contracts
with about half the counties in the
state to aid in the discovery and as
sessment of property which has
escaped taxation, concluded that as
section 1874 limited the treasurer to
FIVE years only, that they could reach
farther by applying the tax ferret law
to chapter AZ, laws of the Twenty
eighth General Assembly. Conse-
quently, they conducted their opera
tions from the auditors Office, that
official signing the notice and making
the assessments instead of the treas
been made and several appeals were
taken and tried this week, which re-
suited in the opinion of the court that
such proceedings were illegal and
void; that chapter Al only authorizes
the auditor to correct errors in the
assessment for the current year, and
that he had no authority of law to act
in the matter of ferreting out and
assessing omitted property, that au-
thority being conferred wholly upon
the treasurer by chapter so of the
laws of the last general assembly and
by section 1874 of the code. The tax
ferrets will appeal, as this decision
effects thousands of dollars in taxes
in this county.

Sully Ledger: Since the organiza
ton of the Sully creamery company
a year ago last August an average of
$500 per month has been paid out for
cream, hauling, etc, being more
money paid out every month for
cream than was heretofore paid out
in a years time for butter marketed
here. The creamery is certainly
proving a valuable institution to the
town, and will proved more valuable
as the fact becomes known that there
is money in becoming a patron of the
creamery.

Charles Farmhouse, director of the
Iowa Brigade Band, has a fine new
cornet that is perhaps as handsome
and as fine an instrument as has ever
been brought to the city of Oska-
loosa. 1t is the finest instrument
that is put out by the o. G. Conn 90.
of Elkhart, Indiana. 1T is a gold
plated and satin finished instrument
richly engraved and is a model of
workmanship in alllparticulars. The
tone is very fine. The instrument is
said to be Pc near perfect as it is
possible to make cornet.

PRESENTS TERMS.
Insurgent Leader in Snmar Won't Ne
ROtiate Surrender Till Americans
Leave Gandnra Valley.

Manila, Nov. 11.-According to adj
vices from Catbalogan, capital of the
island of Samar, LukbaR, the insur-
gent leader, has sent message to
Gen. Smith declaring that he will not
listen to negotiations for surrender
until all the Americans have with
drawn from the Gandara valley.
Gen. Smith has ordered every Amer
lean soldier in the island of Samar
and the island of Leyte never to be
without arms, even at meal time. He
is determined that there shall be no
more surprises, and commanding Of
ficers will be held responsible. Gen.
Smith also directs that scouting
must continue necessarily and that
all rice and hemp captured must be
destroyed. He considers the capture
of Lukban only question of very
short time.

The Ohio Vote.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 11.--With almost
half of the official returns from the
So counties in Ohio received, it is esti-
mated that the total vote may be 1907
900 less than for governor two years
ago, when 92O, SIP votes were cast, and
almost a quarter of million less than
for president last year, when the total
vote of Ohio was 1,O49,121. Notwith-
standing the increase in population
during the past 10 years, the total
vote will likely be much less than for
president in 1888, when it was S41, 941,
and probably less than has been east
for governor since that time with a
single exception.

calm, cool Judgment of people and
things.
There is no gossip or scandal al
lowed in the Roosevelt household,
and there is no guest who does not
feel irresistibly compelled to stand up
for what is best and right, so high is
the keynote that is sounded. This is
not saying there is not plenty of life
and jOllity, for merriment reigns su-
preme with young and old, and never
has it been allowed that the cares
Of office or the anXieties of politics
should intrude upon the fun and mer-
riment that go on increasingly.
The Roosevelt household has al
ways been democratic in its simpIic-
ity. There have never been any at
tempts made at elaborate entertain
ing. There have been no gorgeous
banquets to be chrOnicled among So
cial events, and when the news col.
umns gave the Information that Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt enter
tanned at dinner, there have never
been any wonderful table decorations
to chronicle.
All about the management of the
household has been charmingly sim
pie. A true spirit of hospitality wei.
coined every guest who was made to
feel that his or her presence was to
be desired. Wine was always served,
but neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor his
wife cared for it.
The menu was always simple and
never comprised many courses, for
Mr.. Roosevelt disliked a long dinner.
Everything was well served, but on
most simple lines. This, however.
with an appearance of absolute COM
fort experimentation, not show,
being apparently the watchword.
Mrs. Roosevelt, says the Kansas
City Star, is not a very great talker,
but is a brilliant conversationalist-
an apparent Inconsistency explain
able by her being remarkably good
listener, and possessing that rare
charm of drawing out the very best
in anyone she talks to. She has a
keen sense of humor.
Not a beauty, Mrs. Roosevelt is
nevertheless an unusually pretty
woman, rather above middle height,
with a slight, girlish figure. Shells a
brunette in coIoring, with brown
eyes and hair, but fair skin.
She rarely, if ever, wears a large
hat, and is generally seen in a small
bonnet, and she does not change the
style Of her hat as the fashions
change. Her brown hair curls in soft
ringlets around her face, but is
brushed smoothly back from her
temples and arranged in a soft coil
at the back of her head.
She wears it in the same style,
whether for day or evening, but with
evening dress she wears an aigrette,
which adds height and emphasizes the
long line of her shoulders, one of her
chief beauties. She is a woman who
looks much better in evening dress
than in street dress. and her evening
gowns are always rather elaborate.

Cousins. the new Salvation Army COM
mander for the north Pacific district,
comprising Oregon, Washington and
southern Idaho, with headquarters at
Portland, states that the army was new
er before more prosperous nor In better
standing than 1t Is today. He had been
connected with the army for nineteen
years, iilling numerous positions, and
in command Of districts in Canada and
various states Of the Union from Maine
to Washington. In each field Of action
he had seen the work prosper, new ter
ritories had been opened up, new corps
enlisted, the number of workers in
creased and the work advanced in all
of its branches, financial, social and
spiritual. During the time he had seen
many wonderful conversions Of extraor-
dirary cases.
In this new field Major Cousins said
he proposed to extend the work, and
during the two weeks that he had been
in Portland had already arranged for
opening new corps in the two smaller
cities Of Washington. one Of which
would be Dayton. He has found the
army prosperous all over this North
western territory. and the same en-
ergy that had marked its progress In
the past would be continued in the fu-
