LOTS OF DoN'Ts.
There Are Don'ts for the Bride, and
Dop'ts for the Groom.

DOn'tS for the Groom.
At party given recently in an Ohio
town to a bride-to-be, one OF the
bright guests present, in response to
the call from the toast mistress gave
the following don'ts for bride and
groom:
Don't forget to invite us to the wed
ding. We would like to come. 1t
would be 80 much nicer than party,
being different.
Don't kick when the head of the
house sends candy to his old girls.
Think what it will do to their teeth.
Don't think 1t funny If 1t takes
year or two for people to learn how to
pronounce your name.
Don't use the groom for prop.
Don't lose your nerve when it comes
to meeting his folks.
Don't worry about leaving your little
brother. You are setting a good e4-
ample and be May 90 and do likewise. ,
Don't call your husband Him. ,
Love- or Darling is more fetching.
Don't be surprised when he begins
the old story about his mothers pies.
Just let him 60 without for awhile.
Don't offer to shave him, he will be
sure to say you tried to cut him the
first month Of your welded bliss.
Don't read to your husband all the
stuff you see that will make bis hair
grow.
Don't fail to have the beafsteak: hot
when Johnnie comes marching home.
Don't knock any of the people Of
your new home town until you find out
who are related to him.
Don't get mad when the Man Of
Wrath gets out his pipe for Q smoke.
Get yours out, too. and If you can t
puff you can at least bluff, and be will
quit it.
Don't accuse your husband OF being
a brute If he won't love your dog.
Because people don't come up and
tell you they know you are bride and
groom, don't think they are not wise
to the fact.
Don't forget to feed the chickens.
Don't play with the doctors false
teeth. He may want to sell them.
FOR THE GROOM.
Don't leave your cigar ashes all over
everything.
Don't spring the lodge gag too often.
Don't let your wife's friends get the
idea you are running boarding house.
Don't play bridge whist.
Don't get ahead of the wedding
march.
Don't try to impress your wife with
how much you know right away. Let
her find it out gradually.
Don't blush when you speak of MY
| Wife, She's all right.
Don't forget to be on hand for the
wedding.
Don't think when your wife goes
home to Mamma she's going to get a
divorce.
Don't call your wife Say or Her.
It's bad form.
Don't act snappy about getting up
In the morning and building the fires.
Don't eat with your knife. The bride
isn't accustomed to seeing it.
1t you love her, tell her 3d., Don t
wait to put it on her tombstone.
Don't think you are the whole thing.
Remember the story Of the lost rib and
consider what 1t turned into.
Don't keep carrying your hands to
your face pulling your mustache OF
adjusting your hair. Keep your hands
quiet and under control.
Don't contract the habit of smiling
or grinning at nothing. Smile when
there is occasion to do so, but at other
times keep your mouth shut.
Don't forget what good time we
have all had here tonight.

BOON FOR BANkRupTs.

A new rule has been promulgated in
bankruptcy law. The latest comes from
st. Paul, where the circuit court of ap.
peals decided that all unexempt prop
erty which bankrupt has owned four
months before the filing of a petition
against him must be distributed, share
and share alike, among his creditors.
Thus is the bankrupt fraud furnished
with additional opportunities to skin
his creditors.-s The law itself seems to
have furnished about all that was de-.
sired by dishonest persons for evasion
of legitimate debts, but in many in
stances the courts have interpreted the
law in manner that made the hold.up
easier while at the same time disreput.
able practice was given a sanction by
safeguarding it's employment.-Water-

John ]. Jackson, is judge of the
federal court of appeals. He is the
Oldest judge on the United States bench.
He has ruled that the coal miners of
West Virginia are in contempt. Here
are the things they did: They rented
land, a mile from any mine and held a
meeting. A quiet orderly meeting.
That was contempt says Judge Jackson
crime against the rights of coal barons.
The guilty men will go to Jail. The
coal barons evicted twenty families.
They had no food and homes. The
miners union rented ground halt mile
from any mine, put up tents and made
place for these men, and for their
starving wives and babies. And that too
was contempt, says Judge Jackson, a
crime against the rights Of the coal
barons.
Mother Jones is called the CANCEL of
the Mines" Judge Jackson says she
must go to Jail. What has she done?
What was her contempt and what was
her crime against the rights of the coal
barons? She carried food to starving
woman and children. She went among
the miners and spoke words of cheer to
them. She visited their novels and took
with her CLEAN of sunshine. She saw
the sick ami was good to the children of
the poor. She was kind and sweet and
gentle and tender. Remember they
call her the "Angel of the Mines" She
is and does in her humble way what
Christ did and was in Godhke greatness.
Well they held him in contempt, too,
but they put him on the cross to die.
There has been that much gain in twen-
ty centuries. .-Des. .Moines News. .s

PROSPERITY is NOT ALL.

1t is given out that prosperity" is

is prosperous" they say, "let we'll
enough alone"
But prosperity, even if it we're equit.
ably divided, is not all that concerns a
self-eoverning people. This country
was prosperous enough during many
years of the old slave-holding oligarchy;
but did the people with consciences,
who believed in liberty and justice,
therefore remit their opposition to the
aggressions of the slave power?
If this country has not lost its moral
sense it will not permit the colossal
profits of the steel corporation, the oil
trust and other monopolistic combina-
tions to act as anodyne to its conscience
in view of the wide departure from the
fundamental principles of our govern.
ment which the party in power has
made in establishing benevolent"
despotism in the Philippines. Can any
degree of prosperity" for the sugar
trust dull the national sense of injustice
to Cuba?
The essence of democracy is equality
before the law. Is not the Jefersonian
principle OF equal rightstor all, special

mere handful of men, relatively to the
whole number, are permitted year after
year to use the taxing power of the gov
ernment to heap up fortunes for them.

from exactions that are essentially rob.
berry of all consumers?
| On the simple issue Of prosperity"
itself there is ground for contest on
the unequal division of its benefits. The
average cost of living has advanced
from 25 to 30 per cent within four years.
The average increase of wages has not
been 10 per cent. Is this an inequality
to be confirmed by ballot? Expor
facts published yesterday show that oul

The executive council has fixed the
state levy at 35 mills. This does not
include the tax for the state university
and agricultural college, which would
run it up to 4 mills. This amount
would not be enough to run the ex-
penses of the state if it we're not for the
$456 GOO the state recently received from
the general government. But for that
the state levy wonld amount to about
4.5 mills.

much the same as are used for mems

Serge gowns in white are smarter

THIRD DAY REGISTRATION
Slight Advance Of Number Of AamtS Pat en-
the Books

Taking into consideration that today
is the last day in which 20 qualify to
vote at the primaries. the voters should
be coming to the registering places
faster than they are. In the Sixty-sixth
district there were only i've voters who
had registered up to noon today. Tie
Second district had but four. There
were seven in the Seventh. The sixty
ninth district did much better today
than last week. Up to noon last Sat
urday not one man had registered, but
this morning there were thirteen. In
The three days the total for this district
was about forty up to noon today. This
is a small percentage Of the total num-
Der of voters in this district. There
are few districts that average more
than seven or eight for the mornings
work, and unless the registering is tx-
ira heavy this afternoon there will be
few voters.

FASHIONS IN TAILOR MADE SUITS

With these gowns Il is the fashion
for the moment to wear a thin India
silk shirt waist or a white lawn and
lace one. The lace somehow seems I'M
appropriate with a flannel gown and
one of so severe style. but for the
moment fashion calls for rather more
elaborate waists than have becn worn,
The silk waists are decidedly plain and
made in large tucks, the tucks run by
hand. and the only ornamentatlon on
the waist is that given by the buttons
that fasten Il in front. A mistake that
is often made In these gowns. especial
Nv in the white flannels with blue
stripes, is the wearing OF dark waists
with them.
This at once spoils the smart appear
ance and entirely takes away any of
the style The waist must be white,
no matter how plain IL is. and It Is a
great deal better indeed. TO carry out
the severe style throughout in waist as
well as skirt, although waist made
entirely OF white lace worn with a
white serge costume is always possible.
