AS for Secretary Shaw, his rise has
been phenomenal. Six years ago he
was a successful country lawyer and
banker and a prominent Methodist lay
man. Five years ago he had made a
remarkable series of campaign speeches
Calculating the money question. Four
years ago he was governor Three
years ago he had presided over the
great sound money conference at
Indianapolis. A year and half ago
he was chairman of the Iowa delega-
tion and conspicuous figure in the
Republican National convention. A
year ago he campaigued in the west
with Roosevelt; and now, when he has
arranged to retire to private life. he
has been appointed to the highest Of
flee ever held by any Iowan save AS.
sociate Justice Miller and Speaker
Henderson. His success is almost
without parallel; but the responsible
ity that will now be thrown upon him
will be vastly greater than any he has
heretofore borne, and the reputation
that he shall gain in this new position
will mark his place as a public man.

Peter the Great and Boards.

Be
Peter the Great thought to civilize
his savages by making them shave
and imposed tax Of 100 rubles on the
wealthy and middle classes and CO.
peck on peasants and laborers. Now,
it was a superstition among the poorer
people that no beardless son Of Adam
could ever enter heaven, and, being
obliged to part with their boards, the
great majority treasured up their hair
to be buried with their bodies. In
dealing with his soldiers the great Pc
ter enlisted the aid of the priests, who
cunningly pointed out the fact that
they were going to fight the bearded
Turk aud that their patron, St. Nicho-
las, would be unable to distinguish
them from their enemies unless they
sacrificed their boards.
This was all right, and the boards of
the beloved Russians went down be-
fore the razor in Difference to st. Mich
olas. But, unluckily for the priests.
the next little war happened to be
with the Swedes, who wore no boards,
and thus it was that the Russian sol
diers demanded to be allowed to abb
jure the razor, so that the holy Nicho-
las might have no difficulty in arrang-
ing for their protection.

Three ROYAL Tnaafs.

story Of King William ~. Of England
and the Duke Of Cumberland, his
brother: During dinner loud voices
We're heard, which soon became more
vehement. Both brothers had drunk
more than usual, and the duke had
lost his temper and his head. Then
for the first time King William sus-
pected the idea which from that time
was never out of Duke Ernest's mind,
that he ought to be the next king Of
England should no male children sur

duke said, May I also, sir, propose

"a dead silence followed. Then the
king, collecting all his energies and
wits, stood up and called out, The

The installment house lay at the bot
tom of the trouble. Mrs. Mitchell,
yielding to seductive advertisements,
furnished the third story front and
found herself obliged to rent the room
to meet the weekly payments.
The roomer introduced himself as
MI. James Pearley, entry clerk at the
Empire department store. His fellow
clerks called him dressy. Mrs. Mitchell
stood somewhat in awe of his frock
coat and silk hat. Mary pronounced
his taste in ties as "just lovely. And
Jim Hollis? What he thought of Pearley
and what he said at times are not for
publication. ,S
The circle OF society in which the
Mitchells and Hellises moved did not
consider the formal announcement of
an engagement necessary, but that a
wedding would follow Jim's years of
devotion to Mary none of their ac-
quaintances doubted-that is. until Mr..
Pearley rented the third story front
She, Of course, told him all about
Jim, but explained that he had been q
friend of her father, covertly trying
to give the impression that Jim was
nothing more to her than "a humble
friend" :
When Jim called one Sunday, Mary
had gone to church with Mr.. Pearley.
He didn't feel jealous exactly, lust
hurt and depressed. He realized that
he looked clumsy" IN his Sunday best
clothes, and his gloves were wet with
perspiration. He was aware that his
necktie was never just right, because
Mary always criticised it. It seemed
that styles in these things changed
over night
Jim regarded his work as very ordi-
nary also. He was glad to know that
Hogan's ship rigging firm considered
him their smartest man. The most diff
ficult and dangerous pieces of work
were his by right. This did not make
him look less like a fool in a high hat
and for that reason brought him no
nearer to Mary. It is doubtful if he
would ever have known how to solve
the problem if one Of the daily papers
had not sent a reporter to write up the
r1gger's trade. Jim was dumfounded
at the reporters admiration.
"Why," he explained afterwar6'

A Word For Signs,

To an advertiser advertising should
be q means Of indicating to all the peo-
pie, at all times, in all places, in every
locality, the presence Of his goods. Ev-
cry unit Of advertising matter should
act as seller. At every store where
his goods are sold he should install g
salesman Of his own choosing, confined
to the sale Of his goods exclusively.
What better than the store front sign?
Something pleasing to the eye, intelli-
gible to the thinking, an eye opener to
the unthinking! What can fill all these
requirements Of the advertiser and the
buyer Of his goods as an individual
sign placed inside Of a store where the
eye readily turns to it or on the outside
where it reminds you to step in as you
pass? With individual sign advertising
he becomes an advertiser of Individual
tty Of his owh.-Proftable Advertising.

Never in Our life have we met a

the praise Of the animal and proud

Age. The farmer who owns a good
COW knows that the COW is a money
maker and knows that herd Of cows

taking on any farm. But farmers are
slow to catch on to the fact that a
good herd can he reared in a few

There should be no variation In the

azure, as cream will sometimes pro-
duce what is known as foaming and
will nearly fill the churn. This may be
caused either by too much speed at
starting, churn too full Of cream or
cream being too cold Especially thin
cream. The best remedy is to divide
the cream into two churnings and pro-
coed at proper churning temperature.
In my experience I have found cream
after being churned for between four
and five successive hours, then given
rest Of about an hour, began to break
In ten minutes after starting the sec
ond time.
After the first stop the cream was
not apparently any nearer the breaking
point than when first started. After the
butter granules have reached the size
Of "pin's head,' or from one-sixth to
one-eighth Of an inch in diameter, the
buttermilk is drawn off and strained
through hair strainer; then water at
the temperature Of 40 to IS degrees B.,
depending on the temperature Of the at
mosphere, Of about the same quantity
as the buttermilk is added to the butter
and the churn revolved few times.
Usually one washing is sufficient,
though the wash water should drain
comparatively clear. The amount Of
washing will depend on the size Of the
butter granules and the condition the
cream is in. Both under and over ripe
cream will require more washing than
properly ripened cream. The impor
lance Of using clean and pure wash
water cannot be overestimated.
The butter is now in condition to
salt, and the amount to use varies
widely under different conditions. Salt
preserves butter to a certain extent
and greatly improves the taste. If salt
has been used in washing, the finished
butter will not require as much, or, in
other words, the drier the butter the
less salt needed. From one to two
ounces Of salt per pound Of butter fat
should be used. Butter only retains
from one-half to three-fourths of the
nsalt. depending upon the condition OF
the salt, which should be kept fine and
IN clean place, as it absorbs odor.
The salt does not enter the individual
butter granules or grains, but is dis
solved in the water present, and any
excess of it promptly coheres to the
surface Of the grains and is pressed
between them. Thus we see the i'm
portance Of the kind and right use eff
salt.

From the Romans.

& "Put your right foot foremost" is a
piece Of advice that has been offered
to most folk, young and old, In the
course Of their lives. It is generally
equivalent to saying, '.Now's your
chance; do your very best and show
what you are capable Of" Like great
many common phrases, this expression
has an old origin. In the days Of an
cient Rome. when people were usually
the slaves OF some superstition OF 9TH
er, It was thought to be unlucky to
cross the threshold OF house with the
left foot first; consequently a boy was
placed at the door Of the mansion to
remind visitors that they were to put
their right foot foremost. The use Of
the phrase in the wider sense became
obvious. ~ ss@
