ILLINOIS LAW is UPHELD.
Supreme Court Says Dealing in Flu.
lures May Be Punished.

Washington, March 4.-The United
States supreme court yesterday az
firmed the decree of the supreme
court of the state Of Illinois in the
case of Alfred G. Booth VS.. the state
Of Illinois, involving the validity of
the state statute imposing a fine of
from $40 to $1,000 for dealing in fu-
lures. The decision of the state court
upheld the law and today's opinion
sustained that decision. The opinion
was handed down by Justice Fuller
and was dissented from by Justices
Brewer and Peckham.
The Illinois law involved is section
$50 OF the criminal code of the state
and it provides that whoever con-
tracts to have or give to himself or
another the option to sell or buy at a
future time any grain or other COM
modify, Or forestalls the market by
spreading false rumors to influence
the price of commodities or corners
the market, shall pc fined not less than
S1O nor more than $1,000, or confined
in the county jail not to exceed one
year, or both.
In delivering his opinion of the
court Justice Harlan SAID that Booth
had been indicted ION the charge of
violating the statute so far as it
related to options to buy grain or
other commodities at future time
He was found guilty and adjudged to
pay fine Of 500.
CUBAN TARIFF QUESTION.
Objections to Cuban Tariff Reduction
From Beet Sugar States.
Washington, March 4.-The repub-
llcan members of the house, who met
in conference last night to consider
the Cuban relief question, after three
hours of fruitless, discussion, adjourn
ed until Thursday without action. w.
Fordney and Mr.. Morris of Minnesota,
who opposed direct tariff concessions
and espoused the plan of giving re-
bate direct to the Cuban sugar plan
tiers, held the floor throughout the
evening. Much feeling was manifest
ed. Political disaster to the repub-
licans in the beet sugar states was
predicted if the tariff on sugar was
lowered for the benefit of the Cubans
when another solution was open. About
100 republicans attended the con.
ference.

THE Rest REMEDY FOR Group.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe
The is the season when the woman who knows
the best remedies for Group is in demand in
every neighborhood. One of the most ter
rible things in the world is to be awakene d in
the middle of the night by who op from one
of the children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group, as a
revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned remedy
for Group, known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Chamber1aiu's
Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patio mt to "throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the attack.

A young woman of my acquaint-
ance makes her pin money marking
linen. She writes fine hand and her
dainty chirography on gift handker-
chiefs gives to them an additional
value. She does the work to suit her
own convenience, not being at the
"beck and call" of an employer. The
nicely of her work is we'll understood,
and so it comes about that much of
the household linen, napkins, towels,
handkerchiefs, bridal outfits, in that
little city bear the print of her deli
cate touch. For weeks before the
holidays she is kept busy marking
the hundreds of articles to be given
away. For weeks after, her nimble
fingers are no less busily employed
marking the hundreds that have been
received. In the fall the wardrobes
of the young girls going off to the
college and seminary must be marked ,
and so this young woman with the
deft fingers reaps another harvest.
She stiffens the corner of each hand
kerchief crosswise-a space just large
enough to take in the name-with
cold starch, and presses with a very
hot iron, thus making the fabric like
paper to write upon.-Good House

HOUSEHOLD.
Household Hints.

Currants are delicious when served
with bananas. Slice the latter fruit
and add plenty of sugar because of
the acidity of the currents.
For cleaning hairbrush use weak
solution of soda water. When tepid,
shake the bristles in it. They will be
cleaned without being weakened.
Space in a closet can be much in
creased by using hangers or wire
forms hung on Stats put across above
the wooden strips that hold the usual
hooks.
How do you get the paraffin on top
of the Jelly? Put a piece that you
think when melted will cover the
jelly in the glass. Pour the hot jelly
in. The wax will come to the top.
When you wash handkerchiefs, col
lars, etc., put them in FELLOWSHIP be-
fore they go into the boiler. You
spend no time fishing for them, and
they don't get lost or thrown out with
the suds.
Pineapple juice drained from the
fruit and mixed with currant, lemon,
blackberry, or raspberry juice makes
a delicious drink. A few wedges
left to float in the lemonade bowl i'm
proves the flavor of that beverage.

MRS. WIGGIN'S FIRST STORY.

SIT was, oddly enough, my love for
children which led me to authorship"
said Kate Douglass Wiggin to a
Good Housekeeping interviewer. II
was born in Philadelphia, but when I
was few years old my mother came
to Saco to live. Presently will take
you across the road to the old home of
those days, We moved away to Cali
fornia in my girlhood and came back
to Saco river years after. There was
the little old home, almost as we had
left it. We bought it and made it our
summer home. Later we purchased
this old house and called it Quillcote.
In those childish days I was simply a
little country vegetable, luxuriating
in fine health, in the beauty of the
wilderness, in free outdoor life, and
absorbing the simple education
offered at small brick school-house.
/ do not think it is wholly the life of
the Saco River community of to-day,
we'll as 1 know it, that has found it's
way into my stories of country life.
A great deal of IL is the impression
made on the keen insight of child.
am turning constantly to memories
and incidents that lie Cd the farther
side of my youthful days spent in
California"
In San Francisco Mrs. Wiggin's love
of children led her to study kinder
garten work. Her sister joined her,
and presently the Silver street
kindergarten, in the most densely
populated and poverty stricken dis
trict of the city, became an object
lesson to the whole Pacific coast. 1t
was not altogether the methods the
young eastern girls brought to the
work which made their success; it was
the love and devotion to children and
the wealth of enthusiasm that told.
One of the sisters became Mrs.
Wiggin and left the school-room for
home. Still she had energy enough
and sympathies enough left to devote
to the work she loved. She wished
to raise money for one of the poor
kindergartens, so she wrote "The
story of Patsy" and it sold without
advertising almost az it sells to day

II the report from Rome as to the In
tention Of the vatican regarding the
Spanish friars in the Philippines Is well
founded, there is reason to expect that
this question will be disposed Of with
out difficulty. The plan is said to be to
have the friars who are Objectionable
to the natives leave the island in small
numbers at different times and as they
number only $50 it is thought they can
all be withdrawn by the time Governor
Taft and the apostolic delegate to be
sent to Manila win be ready to resume
negotiations. OF course II 1t shall be
found that the authorities at Rome are
carrying out such a plan 1t would be
M easy matter to delay the reopening
of negotiations, for which no specific
date has been fixed.
IL is to be hoped the report Is we'll
founded, since the effect will be to put
a stop to any agitation OF the matter in
this country by assuring those disposed
to agitate that the vatican is in accord
with this government as to the deslra-
bility of the withdrawal of the Spanish
friars in the interest of the maintenance
of peace. When the would-be agitators
are convinced Of this, as they must al
ready be of the concurrence in the gov
ernment's attitude of the foremost rep
resentatives of the Catholic church in
the United States, they probably will
drop the matter and allow it to be set
tied by men wiser than they and not
less devoted to the interests and Jealous
for the welfare of the church. 1t should
have been sufficient for these persons,
as loyal churchmen, that at the final
Interview with Governor Taft the pope
expressed himself well pleased with the
negotiations that had taken place and
gave assurance of his personal attention
to the matters to be arranged, with par
ticular reference to the withdrawal of
the friars. That it was not suggests
that there are Catholics in this country
who do not possess that complete and
unquestioning confidence in the vatican
which all Of that religion are generally
assumed to have.
At all events, there is good reason
to believe that the friar question, which
it was feared would prove troublesome,
will be solved without much difficulty
and in a way that will leave no just
ground for dissatisfaction. There will
be no persecution of the friars and moth
ing will be done to impair the privileges
or the prestige Of the Catholic church
in the Philippines. Indeed there is no
doubt that the influence of the church
there would be strengthened by the
withdrawal of the Spanish friars and il
is highly probable that this is the feel
ing of most of the church authorities
at Rome.
