which some women bring home with
them. Two little pieces of stiff paste
board, as large as a pocket-book, with
a few dozen pieces of blotting paper
between them and a stout cord to
wind about, constitute a flower press
that can be carried in the pocket. 1t
assists in preserving the colors to
change the papers after Few hours
pressure. Flowers thus gathered from
the gardens, the palaces, the cottages,
the graves visited, from suitable and
beautiful collection of souvenirs.
When ultimately arranged upon the
white pages of Il scrap-book they pre-
sent the story of a pilgrimage
to a hundred shrines. Here is a
daisy from the fields that
Burns ploughed: here is wild
weed that grew on the messy
mantel shelf Of the chamber in which
Mary Queen of Scots was born; here is
ivy from Kenilworth, and here are
Alpine flowers from the Valley of
Chamouni.
OF course there is much scope for
fancy in the arrangement of such
leaflets. Some prefer to do this work
of arrangement while on the journey;
others to bring home their treasures in
a more compact way and arrange them
afterward. Newspaper Will serve for
packing the flowers. but blotting paper
is much better for pressing them in
the first instance. AS for mucilage.
powdered gum, carried in a little vial
and mixed, a few grains at a time,
with a few drops of water, as wanted,
is the most convenient. CUNT raga-
canth is better than gum arabic for
fastening pressed flowers.

WOMAN'S SPHERE.

From time immcmorial the men
have always insisted that women tell
everything. And now thirteen of
them are tellers in a Chicago bank.
Says TIE cashier: They get the same
pay the men do and are satisfactory
because they keep regular hours and
are willing to work hard with tribes
They like to work here. and we like
to have them" Thus, step by step,
the women are CrOwdinC their poo;
trousercd brother into the last ditch.
Pretty soon there will bc nothing left
for the lords Of creation to do but to
spend the money which the women
earn.
They talk about a 'woman's sphere
As though it has limit,
There's not a spot on sea or shore,
In sanctum. office. shop or store
There amt no nothin any more
Without a woman in it.

HONEST John White is pretty
slick but not slick enough to fool
the people all the time. When he
came back from Athens all the
good people lauded him to the
skies for his fidelity to Bright, but
when they saw by the daily papers
that Moore had retired as state
committeeman and the Athens
delegation were solid for White,
the unsophisticated friends OF
Judge Bright fell dead. 1t just
began to get through their heads
how they had been played TO,
suckers by Honest John. Candi'
date Moore did not make severaI
visits to Logan last winter fol
nothing. The ropes were laid in
Hooking right under Bright's nose
for his defeat. We are getting q
history of the whole matter com
piled for good reading in the
future.

Marks Ear Marks.

Mark Hanna's efforts to secure
harmony in Ohio differing so rad.
ically from his usual methods,
have started all sorts of conject.
ures as to whether he is already
laying his wires to have solidly
harmonious state behind him when
the National Convention names a
candidate for the Presidency in
1908. He is not noted for being
forgiving person, yet he went
out of his way to bury the hatchet
with his old enemy, Ex-Mayor
McKisson, and caused his conven-
tion to praise Senator Foraker up
to the skies and endorse him by
name for reelection. The only
explanation that is on the surface
is that Mr.. Hanna intends to be
the candidate of Ohio in 1908, and
to secure fair treatment at the
hands of the Foraker faction, con-
sents to bury old animosities and
tie Foraker to his chariot by max
ing the senior Senator his candi
date for reelection. Without the
help of Hanna every one knows
that Foraker could not get back to
the Senate. If reelected with
Hanna's aid, common decency will
compel him to help send Hanna
delegation to the convention of
1904 and probably go there him
self to make a nominating speech
for Hanna. III Mr.. Hanna really
aspires to the Presidency, he is
certainly going at his campaign in
mastery fashion. A Presidential

cake in honor of Mrs. John Mona

In that cake bad been baked the
usual prophetic or talismanic ring,
dime, and button. We shall not
draw, publicity to the lucky girls
by telling their names, for the
young lady who now wears the
ring is unwilling to allure toe
many suitors who may fancy that
fate has made their "will you be

girl who found the dime does not
want her impecunious lovers
frightened away by this piece of

Nomination of Nippert.

Carl Nippert is not bad kind
of fellow. Personally he is gen.
ial, good sort and can hold up his
end of the pole at lunch or a
banquet. But then, John A. Cald-
well Is also "good fellow" of the
same variety. Perhaps Caldwell's
jokes are even little more pointed
and his staying qualities little
more pronounced than Nippert's.
Why turn down one good fellow
and set up another2 We could
understand this, if Nippert held
other views from Caldwell. But
he doesn't. He is a protege of
Caldwell. He was given his posi-
tion as police prosecutor by Cald-
well, when the latter was mayor.
He introduced the ripper bill in
the last senate which Caldwell was
so anxious to pass. He is the
mouthpiece of Caldwell just as
Caldwell is the mouthpiece of Geo.
B. Cox. At the command of Cald-
well and Cox, Niypert fought the
Clark bill. Between Caldwell and
Nippert there is not the difference
of tweedledum and tweedledee.
Then why was Caldwell forced to
retire at the end of his first term
and Nippert, his alter ego, put in
his placer Simply to fool the dear
people.
The anti-saloon league was dead
set against Caldwell and the anti
saloon league is quite factor in
Republican politics. But there is
considerable hypocrisy mixed up
in the composition of the average
temperance Republican and while
he is on record and could not well
swallow Caldwell, he is perfectly
willing to swallow any other man
though he even holds the same
radical anti-temperance views as
Caldwell, all for the sake of the
G. o. p.
Then, be it understood, that
Geo. B. Cox must be placated. He
