,andoInh Needs Another Club.

This place is not what one would cali
destitute exactly of fraternal and social
organizations; for we have lodge or a
chapter OF all the principal societies, not
TO mention church associations and mis-
cellaneous gatherings of various kinds.
Still there is room yet for a hourlshlng
woman's club on little different lines from
anything in operation now.
There is, moreover, plenty of gray matter
available for the formation of such club,
which should be a public affair, open 10
any one DESTROYS of selt-improvement ana
willing to take part in the routine work oil
the organization. In this way its inhu-
ence would be widely extended and its
beneficial effects, II any, felt outside OF 9
small circle.
The large body OF general members,
which might be expected to follow pup
lie invitation TO Join, could be handled
easily as far as the entertaining goes; tof
they would be divided into classes, under
chosen leaders, meeting at different times
and at different places for their weekly OF
semi-monthly sessions. Current events
music, art, literature, domestic science, OF
whatever else might seem a desirable sub
| iect of educational investigation could DC
pursued, the members entering one or all
Of the classes as they saw fit. once
month, or oftener il il seemed desirable
! the whole body could come together IN 9
! hall or church parlor for a lecture from
outside talent, a demonstration OF some
| sort or a social function.
The regular membership fees, active AND
honorary latter double the former
since honorary members are usually ex-
cused from all work and only participate
! in the pleasures of the club-could be de-
voted to securing good speakers and expert
demonstrators from abroad, who woulc
speak before the whole body on topics o.

reap the benefit. while the club memberi
would be entitled to admission on then

OF course there would have to be PM

the femininity of the thing and remove
any suspicion of strongmindedness, and

Without Infringing on the patent rights
of any society, large number OF women

clubless condition, can be found in Ran

organization that would have a Wild

Of the wigwam cities OF the original
in ha bitants of the land might have ex-
cited no unpleasant comment, but which
to the keener, paleface sensibilities are
peculiarly distressing.
Not long ago a COW that was being
driven into town slipped and fell, throw
ing out the stifie joint Thereupon the
efforts made to assist her to her feet
again would have confirmed a Filipino
victim of the water cure in his previous
conviction of the gentleness and sympa-
thetic consideration to be expected OF the
American people.
The COW was hurt but was unable to say
so, and the immediate supposition was
that she could get up il she wanted TO.
She made one attempt, to be sure, but tel
back. First she was raised by her head,
then by her tail; then she was turned over
and Topped about, pulled one way and
then another, all the time suffering the
agony Of a dislocated joint. Finally il
became apparent to the dullest compre-
hension that the animal simply could mol
get up, and the poor beast was loaded onto
drag and surrounded by band of boot
ing, jumping, Comanche kids, was taken
off to the slaughter house to be at last put
out OF misery.
The trouble comes in a large measure
from the fact that children are not taught
to be merciful to dumb animals. Parents
usually give the baby kitten to play
with, and when the charming infant has
pulled out fistful OF fur and the kitten
has retaliated by giving the little wretch a
good long scratch, the mother whips the
cat instead of the baby, who ought to have
his hair pulled until he arrives at a
realizing sense of how the cat feels about
| it. little heroic training along that line
would help the cause OF CIVILIZATION
| immensely, and in the course OF few
more centuries bring the world to such 9
state OF culture that society for the pre-
vention OF cruelty to animals would be nc
| longer necessary.

Train Rows 10 Re Orderly,

"It is a curious fact" commented a
man recently, that almost no mother
realizes the Importance of bringing her
son up to orderly habits. She i'm
presses upon her daughters from the
time they are old enough to recognize
any responsibility the necessity to keep
their rooms tidy, put away articles aft
er use, and care for their belongings
ar all times. The boy, however, is ex-
empt from any similar requirement,
not only in his own room, but through
out the house. He reads newspapers
and throws them on the floor, gets up
from a diyan leaving the cushions
packed and shapeless, without the
slightest reproof, the only notice taken
of the occurrence, indeed being to ask a
sister, If he has one, TO pick up the one
and straighten the other. The women Of
the family follow in his footsteps all
day long, removing whatever disorder
he creates Yet there is no business
occupation upon which that boy viii
presently enter in which order is not
a fundamental necessity. Girls. on the
other hand, do not. as a rule, suffer so
seriously from a lack of order, or at
least consequences are not so continu-
ally disagreeable and costly as is the
case with boys"

latter are especially rich, yet may appear
on the simpler suits. In to-day's first

heavy cream lace in medallions and inset

grays, blues, tans, green's and reds in
light tints prevailing. Black is used
much, too, but TO be stylish should be

will prove not worth copying because Of

RECEIVER FOR THE MINES.
Big Coal Railroads Must Fight De
termiued Action.

Big Coal Railroads Must Fight De-
termiued Action.
Several Boston men, seeking public re,
lief in the courts from the coal shortage
and high prices, have filed in the State
Supreme Court a bill in equity asking
for receiver for coal producing railroads
and companies operating in Pennsylva-
mia.
The petitioners ask that receiver be
appointed for the benefit of all concerned
upon such terms and in such manner, and
with such agents and servants, and with
such rates of wages and other conditions
of employment, and at such prices for
goods produced and sold as the court
shall from time to time adjudgc proper.
The suit is in line with the contentious
of Attorney Heman w. Chaplin and is TO
make a test of his theory which is based
on the utterance of Chief Justice Waite
of the United States Supreme Court in
delivering an opinion of that court on the
constitutionality of certain laws made
by the Legislature of the State of llli-
nois for the purpose of regulating the
methods and determining the compensa-
ton to be received for the handling and
storage of grain by the elevator com
panies in the city of Chicago.
On that occasion Chief Justice Waite
said:
Property becomes clothed with pub
lie interest when used in manner to
make it of public consequence and affect
the community at large. When, therefore,
one devotes his property to a use in which
the public has an interest he, in effect,
grants to the public an interest in that
use and he must submit to be controlled
by the public for the common good to
the extent of the interest he has thus
created"

Iowa Republican Platform.

The tariff revision paragraph in the
Iowa Republican platform is variously
considered. The Republican organs as
rule undertake to minimize it The
Democratic organs, on the other hand,
attach great Importance to the deliver
ance. The significance of a declara-
ton of any kind often depends upon
the time and circumstances surround
ing it, and it cannot be denied that at
this particular time the declaration
made in Iowa means far more than the
same declaration made a year ago. 1t
is true that the platform Of 1901 did
contain the substance OF the tariff
plank of this year. But that was ex-
clusiyely a local election and had noth-
ing to do with national policy. This
year the case is different. The ques-
ton is live and practical one and the
intention of the convention was that
the eleven Republican Congressman
who will be elected in Iowa this fall
will go to Washington pledged to vote
for tariff reform upon the lines laid
down in this platform.-Baltimore Sun

Six-inch pompadour ribbon with white

One of the stylish ribbons is Of black

Flowers and feathers are not in it with

When small buttons are placed down
the back the button holes are an inch

Though cheap green and blue effects
are done for, the handsome ones still
hold their own.
Not only for ornament is the newest Of
