Nothing looks worse than sOiled
gloves, and as they are an expensive
item in dress they require careful
management. A first-class glove out
wears half dozen pairs of cheap ones,
and at the same time looks well until
it is finally discarded. Cheap gloves,
however, have their uses; expensive
ones should never be worn in wet
weather or in hot rooms or in theatres,
where the heat will cause the hands to
perspire, for when glove is once
stained by perspiration no amount of
cleaning will make it look we'll again.
For such occasions cheap gloves are
far more serviceable. To clean
channels gloves put the gloves on your
hands, and wash them as if you were
washing your hands, in warm water
and white CASTLE soap; wash until
they are quite clean; then take them
of and hang them in a warm place to
dry. Kid gloves may be cleaned in
the following manner: Put little
fresh milk in dish, and a piece of
white CASTLE soap in another, and have
convenient clean cloth folded three
or four times, and small piece of
Oannel- Place the soiled glove smooth
and neat upon the cloth, and dip the
flannel into the milk; then rub of
good quantity OF the soap on the wet
flannel and commence to rub the glove
downward toward the fingers, holding
1t firmly with the left hand. Continue
this process until the glove, if white,
looks a dingy yellow; If colored, until
1t looks dark and spoiled. Then lay
1t aside to dry, without rinsing out the
soap. and the glove will, when dry,

LincoIn's Gettysburg Address.
delivered Nov. 10, 1863. }


Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
>nent a new nation, conceived in Lib
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. Now
testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and SO dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war. We are
met to dedicate a portion of it as the
final resting place of those who here
gave their lives that that natian might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But in
a larger sense we can not dedicate, we
can not consecrate, we can not hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead who struggled here, have con-
secrated it far above our power to add
or detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say here.
but it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work that they have thus far SO nobly
carried on. 1t is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task of re-
naming before us-that from these
honored dead we take increased devo-
ton to the cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion
that we here highly resolve that the
dead shall not have died in vain-that
the nation shall, under God, have a
new birth OF freedom, and that the
government of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people, shall not Der
ish from the earth.

It is no secret to medical men and

solids to keep a human being from
death for long time During pro-

usually rapid at first and decreases as,

certain percentage of the loss has been

.-Year-oiG. Essay on .n.bv.-

There is bright little fellow in ny
school," said a New Orleans educator,
land 1 am inclined to believe that he
holds the record as a seven-year-old
essayist- A little skit which he turned
out several days ago is monstrously
clever, and he wrote the thing with
out any sort of aid. too Here Is the
way the little fellow discussed the
baby:
So The Baby: Babies do not like to
be leased, and are cranky. They play
with rattles and slobber all over them
selves. They drink milk and eat oat-
meal They cry and behave badly
when they go out When babies are at
home they are cute, but they cry in the
night and keep everybody awake. Ba-
bies are babies until they are put in
pants "-Eldridge H. Charlton, seven
years old.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

Needless
is Worry

what is worry?" Annie Besai.t
In the Theosophical Review asks this
question and then dilates upon it
somewhat as follows: 1T is the proc
ess of repeating the same train of
thought over and over again, with
small alterations. coming to no result
and not even aiming at the reaching of
result" He who is given to worry
has dwelt on a puzzling painful sub
ject, wishing, but failing to find the
solution of some problem until, held in
this anxious and uncertain condition,
he becomes dominated by the fear OF
the anticipated trouble. His thought
current has made for itself a channel
and his mental energies flow along
this track as it is the line of least
resistance. Held as it were in this
brain-track by the fascination of fear.
his mental vitality is sapping itself
away and poisoning the blood cells in
his brain. AS Elmer T. Gates has
proved by his chemical analysis of
perspiration of the man who is de-
pressed, low-spirited and despairing,
he is actually producing a ptomaine
of certain kind which enters into the
circulation OF his blood, and often
physical disease follows. Now how
Can we get TlQ OF CnlS worry cndnnel.
By digging another of an exactly OPP
posite character, made by definite per-
sistent regular thought of the kind
opposed to worry. Let a man who is
given to worry give a few minutes
every day to some noble and encour-
aging thought. Let him picture the
Divine Self within as fountain of
strength and peace from which he
may drink refreshment at any mo-
ment of need. Let him turn and listen
to the message of his innermost Divine
nature and he will find himself en-
folded in peace that swallows up fear.
If he will persist in this with regu-
larity the thought will dig a new
channel and the old one will disappear
Ere long he will find that whenever his
mind is free from labor, his thoughts
will flow unbidden into the channel of
peace and power which will shed a
restful atmosphere around him, felt
though perhaps not seen by all who
are near him. Mental energy will
flow into healthy nourishing channels,
increasing not sapping his vitality and

Washington Swore at the Senate.
John Quincy Adams under date OF
November 10, 1924, wrote in his diary:
Mr.. Crawford (secretary of the treas
ury) told twice over the story of Pres
ident Washington having, at an early
period of his administration, gone to
the Senate with a project of treaty
to be negotiated and being present at
the deliberations upon it. They de-
bated it and proposed alterations, SO
that when Washington left the Senate
chamber he said he would be damned
if ever he went there again. There
has never been President present at
such deliberations since, and this Incl
dent probably largely determined the
dignified forms of communication now
existing between President and Sem

Jumping is the easiest thing to
teach your dog. First, put him in
corner and hold a cane before him,
so that he cannot get out without leap
ing over it. You must not hold it very
high, or he will crawl under it; make
him hold his head up, however, and
you will prevent that. Keep at it u1til
he understands what you want, and
he will jump without hesitation. After
the trick has been learned in the cor
ner it may be tried out in the room.
Later on you may get him to jump
through a hoop, and still later throsgh
a hoop covered with tissue paper, MAX
ing him break through the paper as
he jumps. This will require a good
deal of patience, but it may be done
and is so odd that you ought to- try it.
Another easy trick is sitting up. Be
gin this in corner, too. Place the dog
in sitting posture, with his back
against the wall, and keep him in that
position by tapping him gently under
the chin; he will soon understand what
you want Then try him out in the
room Take hold of his fore paws, and,
having raised him to an upright posi-
ton, force him gently down to a sit
paws and give him confidence by cry
ing Steady Steady!" Reward him
by little bit of candy or some other
sweet, and you will soon have him so
that he will assume that position in
stantly on your saying "Upr'
After you have taught him to "sit
Up" you may easily make him stand
erect on his hind legs. Reward him
after every trial and you will have no
trouble about it. Then you can make
him walk on his hind legs. Begin tn s
part of the training by making him
stand up, and then gradually coax
him along by offering the sweet, hold
ing it close to his mouth. but making
him keep his upright position by your
commands. One important thing in
teaching a dog is never to allow him

orders from you; you must not let him
stop when he pleases. At the same
time you must be careful not to make
him perform for too long a time; you
must not weary him, and thus make
him dread the performance. And an
other thing-you should never think OF
using the whip, or of Furnishing the
dog in any way; kindness and patience
will accomplish wonders.

The Magic Sword.

The Magic Sword
There is a sword of greater price
Than swords of princes are,
A weapon that is mightier
Than famed Excahbar.
Waters divide and mountains part
At touch of this rare sword,
And untrod forests fall and die
AS fell the prophets gourd.
All life it's magic force must own.
Naught can it's power evade,
Zen death is sometimes thrust aside
By its keen, shining blade.

For nothing mortal can Withstand

Ran Our Cuban blockade

and with the simplicity of a brave sea-

it would be impossible to enter the
