too well supplied.
Some OF those who succeed
ed in getting in early found
the snow from 8 to 20 feet
deep, but this did not deter
them from making SNOW To-
cations, ' after which they then
came out and proceeded to
sell. Many Of those who fol-
lowed later found the whole
country located, looked around
a little while and came out
again in disgust. The writer

DON'T THINK OF BUYING
A DEMOCRATIC COMMENT.
Reorganization" Would Be DISCRIMINATION
Under Such Lead.

Under Such Lead.
The Quincy Journal is one of the
Illinois papers which can neither be
hoodwinked nor terrified by the re.
organizing element. Speaking of the
action of Don NJ. Dickinson in sug-
Costing Roosevelt for President in
1904 and Choate in 1908, it says:
Don Dickinson is one OF the Demo.
Gratis that we have got to harmonic"
with. Don is just as good Democrat
as Cleveland, who promoted him, or
Lamont. or Whitney. or Hill, or Olney.
Why not call Don home and ask him
what kind of a platform he wants to
put up for 1904f II we don't do this
Don will bolt again as he did in 1896
and 1900 and vote with the Republi-
cans. These boilers must be satisfied
some wsy-and about the best way to
satisfy them is to put them in charge
OF the party and tell them to write the
platform for 1904. And when they do
this they will poll about as many
votes as Palmer and Buckner did in
1896.
Damage, and that only, can come
to the Democratic party by jockeyiug
with these boilers of 1896 and 1900
It would be a great mistake to put
them in the lead OF the party again,
for when they can't run it their way
they will try to wreck it. They have
done this in the past, and they will do
it again in the future without com.
pensatiOn. In dickering with such
men as these, the Democratic party is
selling itself, soul and body, and moth.
ing but defeat and disaster will come
to it through such a course.

ETIQUETTE OF MARRIAGE.
The Customs Are Quite Different When the
Bride IS q Widow.

the IustomS Are Quite Different When the
Bride IS . Widow.
The majority of women, says an
exchange, do not bother their heads
about the rules OF etiquette governing
second marriages; it's those that con.
troll first weddings that most concern
them. But yet there are certain forms
which society has decreed must be fol.
lowed at the marriage of a widow that
will interest the sex.
All the legal observances required
are the same for maids and widows.
At one period it was the custom for a
widow to wear when marrying a sec.
ond time . gown OF sober hue, such as
gray or lavender, but gradually other
colors came into vogue, and now Wild
ows are reverting to virgin white.
Not, of course, OF the orthodox white
satin and orange blossoms, but gown
of white cloth or of some other white
material, while instead OF a veil they
wear, according to individual liking, Q
hat, toque or bonnet to suit and har.
monte with the gown.
Orange blossoms are never worn by
a widow, either as q wreath or on her
dress. She however, generally carries
. bouquet composed of white or COL
ored flowers, whichever she fancies.
At the marriage of q widow the
bride is not attended by trademarks,
although the bridegroom has his best
man.
Although widow when bride for
the second time is not attended by
bridemaids, she generally has a lady
friend who acts toward her the part OF
q lady-in-waiting, or, as she is often
now called, dame d'honneur," who
stands near her during the service,
holds her gloves and bouquet, and, in
TACT, undertakes the same little duties
that are usually performed by the
principal bridemaid.
In other things the same etiquette
is observed rs at all weddings. The
invitations are sent out in the same
manner and time, and the form Of
words employed is also similar.
The ceremony in the church is con-
Quoted in the same way as at other
marriages, the bride being given away
by her father or the friend or relative
who acts as father for the occasion.
The removal of the first wedding ring
takes place the day OF the second
marriage, when it is TO be replaced by
q second.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
TIPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

If your cake cracks open on top
while baking, either your oven is too
hot, cooking the outside before heating
the inside, or your cake batter was
too stiff. To test the heat of your
oven before putting in your cake mold,
throw teaspoonful OF flour on the
bottom OF the oven, if it turns dark
brown or takes fire the oven is too
hot; if after about three minutes the
flour should be light brown, the tenn
perature is about right.
A can of boiling water set in the
oven helps to prevent sorching.
Spread the beaten yolk of an egg on
your rusks or pies just before putting
in the oven to give them a rich, pol
ished appearance when done.
Nothing made of milk, sugar and
eggs should ever boil. otherwise you
will have curdle instead of cream.
Make dish cloths OF glass toweling
or thin, coarse muslin. Always wash
your dish towels out in water contain
ing a very small amount of baking
soda, and hang in the sun, or dry with
heat. Do not allow any cloth used
about dishes or cooking vessels to lie
about in a wad, wet with dish water.
Rub out your family or kitchen
wash basin every day with cloth, or
paper, slightly wet with coal oil.
Whatever else you neglect, do not
neglect your towels, or kitchen cloths.
Keep them perfectly clean and sweet
with soap, water and sunshine. 1t
saves doctor bills.
Do not despise the" small things"
which conduce to sanitation. A box
of powdered borax is q good thing to
have in the house. The sink and
drains should be we'll and often sprin.
kled with a solution of copperas or
carbolic acid, and good disinfectant
should be frequently employed in hot
weather.
All beds and bedding are the better
for frequent airing out doors. Shake
or beat the mattress we'll and spread
the bed clothing out 90 that every
part may have the fresh air. There is
nothing more desirable than clean,
sweet smelling bed.
Do not shut the sunshine out of
your homes. It is your best friend.
At all times should there be pure air
in the bed rooms; let in the sunshine
by day, and the pure air by night. A
person accustomed TO sleeping in
room with open windows cannot en-
dure close, shut atmosphere at night.
Get all the fresh, pure air possible.
