Caring for Gloves.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-A young girl,
a constant reader of your Social
Chat, has asked me to please send a
good method or recipe for caring for
gloves of all kinds, as she has read
several of my recipes and kept them
for use and found them very help
full. It always encourages me to ex-
tend the good work of helping, if it
eliminates in such favorable ways.
You can clean your incest dress
kid gloves by putting on your hands
and washing them in gasoline, throw
ing out the soiled gasoline and get
ting fresh. Keep them on your
hands until nearly dry, then take
them off carefully and hang in the
open air until all odor is gone. AL
ways do such work out in the open
air to avoid danger.
You can wash your chamois Cloth
yellow and white gloves that you
speak of, nicely by making a suds of
warm rain-water and add a little
pearline to it; put your gloves on
your hands and wash them just as if
you we're washing your hands clean.
Rinse in cold rain-water; when near
iy dry pull them off in good shape,
and hang them out in the open air.

See Exodus II 1920.

There is often something lumi-
nous about a child's definition. Every
American will agree with the little
lad in a board school in England who
in an examination on Scripture sub
iects gave an original answer to the
questions, "What can you tell me
about Moses"
please, sir, he was a gentleman"
replied the little fellow.
= gentleman" repeated the in
spector, "What do you mean by
that"
please, sir, when the daughters
of Jethro went to the well to draw
water, the shepherds came and drove
them away, and Moses helped the
daughters of Jethro and said to the
shepherds, Ladies first, please, gen
tIemen.'"

Advice to Students.


Dear Aunt Jennie have just
read your letter in The Progressive
Farmer of September End. In this
letter you have given the boys and
girls some excellent advice concern
ing their school life.
[ am a farmer boy and have finish
ed school at one of the leading col
leges in the State, and if you will
permit me to add a few remarks to
what you have said, [ will do so in as
few words as possible. Now what I
shall say comes from my own expe-
rience, while spending four years at
college.
Boys and girls when leaving for
school naturally feel that they are
to become the leading students. They
have a right to do so. In their COM
munities they have been classed as
the brightest and best; they have
been the leading young people in the
neighborhood. But when they reach
college and spend a few weeks there
they find that they r surrounded by
boys and girls from everywhere who
have likewise been the leaders of
their respective communities.
Now here is where too many give
up. All cannot be leaders; some
must follow. And when the leaders
are singled out, the followers, even
though they are yet leaders in their
communities at home, become dis
gusted with college life and say that
they wish they had gone elsewhere,
Though elsewhere they would have
found conditions just the same).
Now let me say to those who think
that they have been dishonored by
not gaining some Office the first few
months at college, don't get dishear-
tened. Remain faithful. Do every
thing perfectly. Be a gentleman or
a lady in everything. But don't try
to know too much.
In my college experience I have
seen men come as freshmen and
we're hardly noticed at first, but in
a few months after the college had
seen what they were, these same I'M
noticed freshmen became the leading
college men.
Those of the boys and girls who
are going to leave home for the first
time, I advise to associate with the
best class of students, and not to
wait to be looked up, but to look up
good companions.
And one more thing, be sure that
you write home to mother, father or
some member of the family once each
week.

Education Now and in the Long Ago.
Scott Co., Ky.


Dear Aunt Jennie:-I read Social
Chat every week, as father takes The
Progressive Farmer, and we enjoy
perusing it's instructive pages. [
have not appeared as a Chatterer
before, but if this doesn't find it's way
to the waste-basket, I will write
again in the near future.
hope the Chatterers enjoyed your
recent letter upon life at boarding
schools and colleges as much as l
did. Having had much experience
myself in attending school away
from home and meeting many girls
of various dispositions, [ find your
letter expresses very truly the life of
the school girl.
Our parents tell us that the educa-
tional facilities of to-day are far
superior to those of the long, long,
ago, and in this progressive age, we
should remember that
Olives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of
time"
Our mothers and grandmothers
tell us that in their day the educa-
tional advantages were few and far
between. No graded schools and
few colleges in the cities and towns,
while in the country, public schools
were more a farce than anything
else. They were thinly attended and
about the only studies we're Tread
in 'ritin', 'rithmetic"; and the old
Blueback Speller that father knew
almost by heart when a schOol-boy,
held full sway in those days, both in
the Old North State and all over our
beloved Southland, where it seemed
that Ignorance was bliss" Now
those good old days-to them-the
days Of "the homespun Dress" are
gone, forever gone, like a dream.
How different to-day! Graded
schools in all our cities, colleges for
both sexes, public schools everywhere

AUNT JENNIE's LETTER.
A Word to the Man on the Farm.

The tress are donning their russell
hues and we realize that fall is here,
but are we preparing for the chilling
blasts of winter? Have we looked
around us to see that the family in
the house and the cattle out in the
lot have comfortable quarters in
which to spend the long cold months
that r coming this way? If we
have not, let us do so at once. Now
is the time, before it gets so cold
that you must stop to blow your fng-
ers or run to the fire and warm them,
thus retarding your work. Is the
roof all right, solid and watertight,
or is there a little leak somewhere
that you remember troubled you
some last winter, but which you have
not thought of since? If there is, de-
pend upon it, this winter it will be
larger and still more inconvenient
unless you have it fixed. Those few
bricks that are loose in the back of
the chimney ought to be taken out
and replaced before regular fires are
required. (By the way, when you
can not get lime for mortar, try red
clay, ashes and salt, and see if the
substitute is not almost as durable
as the real thing.) That glass that
has been out of the window all sum
mer will let in the cold air in gusts
this winter, if not replaced. You can
do this little job yourself and it will
add much to the comfort of the fam
lily besides telling all who see the
place you call home, that you have a
care as to the appearance of things.
Don't forget to put in the missing
pane in the kitchen or Darkroom
window, too. It may be that nobody
but home-folks see that window, but
that does not matter; the wind and
rain will find it, and in they both
come if you extend them an invita-
ton by -neglecting to shut them out.
I know that you will provide com
Portable quarters for the horses. Few
men neglect their horses, but can we
| always say this about the cows, those
faithful helpers on the farm? See
that they have a comfortable home
this winter that is dry and shielded
from the north wind that chills them
sorely. I do not wonder that so
many women count among their
hardships that of milking, when they
must oftentimes wade through mud
and slush half-shoe deep to get to
the lot, and when they get there,
have to stand in it, get the feet wet,
milk in the open lot, no shelter, no
umbrella, no help at all. Do you
know that / think it presumptuous
to expect a COW to give much milk If
she is treated so indifferently, and it
is cruel to expect any woman to stay
in such a desperately cold and I'M
comfortable place until she drains
the last drop into the bucket. Ar
range things so that the COW and
her mixer will both be comfortable.

two republican candidates for council
were defeated. In the First ward the

night cooled off perceptibly by election
day, and instead Of taking vengeance
on him supported him. 1t is strongly
suspected that illegal voting was done
in this ward. but the morale Of politics
there has not that high standard of
other precincts, say in the Sixth. and
probably these little things won't mat

Third was rather unexpected. Moore
had very decided opposition among the
republicans, but it was thought that
Bishops lack of acquaintance would
prevent him winning. But 1t didn't. If
Moore hadn't been an employe Of the
Burlington he might have gone through
easily. This was one case where Bur-

the darkness. They are sort of ad-
vance guard to the business hum of
the day and consist of passengers to
various points anxious to catch the
early trains and people with peculiar
tasks requiring an hour of toll before
the dawn Of day.
Exactly one hour later there Is an
other furry. Unfortunates who have
to unlock stores and offices. early risers
of all sorts. are numbered I'm this
rush., A few old timers are always ON
hand for a breakfast at some favorite
of stirring.
Just before Z o'clock there Is a triie
more noise and hustle. There seems to
be more energy on hand than at the
comes shortly before o'clock. This Is
a favorite office hour and the business
men are starting out In small regi-
ments. Then, too. over a thousand uni
versity students begin vending their
way toward the campus. Five minutes
after the hour and everything Is quiet.
The streets are devoid of life.
Whether shoppers bestir themselves
depends entirely upon the weather and
the attractiveness of the advertising
pages of the papers. There may be
crowded streets or simply erratic
groups here and there during the fore
noon.
At noon there Is a grand free for all
after luncheon, of course. All the busi-
ness men and clerks are on the go.
to say nothing of young army of
students advancing upon restaurants
and boarding clubs.
1t all depends upon the shoppers
again until the hour between five and
six in the evening. Then trains from
the city bring in pilgrims. Others are
hiking for the depots intent on leaving.
OF course there Is always a steady
stream supperwards-
Pleasure seekers are out at s O'Clock
again. Theatre goers and society folks
are to be seen. In fair weather there
are any number of people ambling
leisurely up and down o street.
Last Of all come the sleepy individu-
ais alighting tired and weary from the
late trains at IL o'clock. This Is the
flag end Of the days business. Then

the mans strength of character and
ability. He came to Lincoln a few
weeks before the legislative session of
1901 a comparatively unknown man,
and yet before the house caucus met
he was the practically unanimous
choice of the members for speaker.
At home he is equally popular. If he
wants any Office up that way all he
has to do is to say so. Sometimes
when he doesn't want it particularly
his citizens go around and toss
1t in his lap. When he came down to
Lincoln as a member of the house he
was occupying the Office of county at
torney of Burt and mayor of Tekamah.
Mr.. Sears is a man of middle age.
He is a good-humored, good-natured
man, slow to anger. but when once
aroused a lion in his wrath. He be-
lieved that the state treasurer, for in
stance, was not toting fair in the mat
ter of purchasing county bonds and
he at once started an investigation
that led to an expose Of rather start
ling proportions.
Burt county is in the same judicial
district with Douglas county, and Mr..
Sears thus has an opportunity for a
political alliance of unusual strength.
II Mr.. Sears does come out as a can
didate for the nomination it will mean
that he has strong hopes of knocking
the persimmons. He is a man thor
Oughly conversant with politics in Ne
braska, and he makes no useless fights
for mere vainglory.
A tremendous crop of congressional
aspirants is being harvested just now.
Almost every county in the Third and
Sixth districts is represented in the list
of candidates, while in the Fifth new
ones are being sprung each day. In
the Fourth the situation is little bet
ter. although Charlie Sloan Of Geneva
had such a good start on the other
fellows that they have some difficulty
in catching up with him. In the Sec

found anyone to buck Mercer, and the
