How 20 Care for Natures Attentive
ciH

Gift
There Is a subtle fascination in q
pretty hand, impossible to explain,
but so powerful that It has been able
20 command love when there was
nothing else about the possessor to at
tract special attention A naturally
beautiful hand is a gift to the few q
graceful, well-cared-for hand Is pos
sible to the woman Of humblest sta
tion.
No matter what the type Of your
hand may be-the delicate, artistic
hand; the square hand Of the orderly
person; the comic hand of the emo
tienai woman or the phiiosophic hand.
long and angular, with knotted
knuclsles-to All grace Of movement
and perfect grooming are possible
FieMbillty is the first step toward
beauty Of movement. No grace Is DOS
sible with stnened muscles, and in
such state more nerve force Is wast-
ed chan in actual physical labor. With
perfect control Of the muscles you will
use the hands naturally, and entirely
conceal the art by which you acquired
hexibility.
There are a few rules which materi-
ally aid one in the struggle for grace
Of movement. Drop every mannerism
in which the hands play an important
part Do not fuss with the hair. pull
the ears, rub the nose, finger the face,
play with rings or other adornments,
or fiddle with any part Of the wearing
apparel. DO not drum with the FIN
gers, above everything. for that is
the most common habit and the hard
est to overcome. Bear these things in
mind when alone and you win soon
lind no necessity for remembering
them in company.

Miss Emma kellogg, who is seek
ing an appointment as game warden
for Routt and Rio Blanco counties, in
Colorado is young, a hunter OF big
game and has had many exciting ex-
periences. She lassoed young bear
once and took it home alive. she was
hunted mountain lion, deer and elk
and is well versed In woodcraft.
The young womans most daring
adventure was a ride on the back Of
an elk which had attacked her in the
forest. Her gun being out of reach,
she promptly climbed a tree. The
elk butted the tree with such force
that she fell, alighting on the ami
mails back. She grasped the antlers
and held on while the angry brute ran
through the thick underbrush It's
antlers finally became entangled In
the low hanging branches of q tree,
and while the animal struggled Miss
Kellogg cut its throat with her hunt,

Colonel Bryan says he shall fight
for the democratic party for the next
twenty-five years but the Kansas
City Journal remarks that he fights
IN the future as effectively as he has
thus far the democratic party will
not last twenty-five years.
New York's new mayor, Mr.. Nc
Clellan, announces that there will be
no ''graft' or "red lights" in his
administration. Yet Tammany has
been taking a very rosy view Of the
recent election results.
The cable reports announce that the
juramentado is very active in the
Sulu Islands. This IS probably an
other one Of those insect pests which
causes the farmers the loss Of millions
OF dollars annually.
The Hon. Webster Davis in his
championship of Colombia will prob
ably find the people less financially
able than were his Boer friends.
Since Colonel Bryan did not get
his $4,000 from the Bennett estate
he will have to cut out great deal
in the banqueting and entertainment
line ON his European trip.
Representative Watson Of Indiana
in the House the other day asked his
democratic colleagues a few unan
swerable questions when he wanted
to know what the democrats had
done in the last twenty-five years in
the way of progress. Mr.. Watson
shows for his theme a rather hack
neyed subject since it is generally
conceded that the sole stock in trade
Of the democracy in opposition.
There is no hope longer that
eminent statesmen will be able to
dust up and redeliver their old
speeches on "Our Sister Republic of
Colombia"
The quick action of the Washing
ton government in the Panama mat
ter prevented fighting and bIoodshed
yet the administrators course pro-
voked immediate and vigorous dem
ocratic criticism. Had the action of
the government been slow and stately
the criticism would have been the
same.
'sThe time-honored principles Of
democracy" a phrase which is being
rolled around with apparent relish in
the months of some Of our eminent
statesmen, are things which the coun-
try wots not Of. Time has been
occupied otherwise and while she has
been marching ON these so-called
principles have one by one exploded
with loud crashes.
The cost Of living is shown to have
considerably increased in the last few
years. 1t comes high but we must
have it.
Mr.. Cleveland expresses indigna-
tion at his continued mention for the
democratic nomination on the claim
that it is humiliatIng TO be spoken Of
as the only available man for carry
ing the democratic standard. Mr..
Bryan, on the other hand, would like
very much to be considered the big
gest toad in the puddle, even if most
of the water has evap0rated.

why the Iowa's Gun Burst.

WASHINGTON, May 4.--As a result
of the bursting of u inch rifle on the
battle ship Iowa when it was fired for
the one hundred and twenty eight
time the ordnance experts of the navy
realize that the guns must be strength
ened near the end of the muzzle, which
was the place the Iowa's gun burst.
The accident, which cost three lives,
demonstrated that the gun is subject
to a greater strain throughout its
length when smokeless powder is used
than when brown powder is the
charge. The gun on the Iowa was de-
signed for brown powder, and most Of
the 12 inch guns built since then were
designed before as much was known

as token of their esteem.
Accordingly, Saturday night, Mr..
Mathiasen was requested to take a
walk over to Braga Hall by few OF
his friends who told him they had
something to show him. Not suspect
ing the surprise awaiting him, he
went with them. When the party
arrived at the hall they found about
fifty fellow employees present and Mr..
Mathiasen was given surprise that
was genuine.
Christian Larsen was elected speak
er and he made short address in
which he expressed the regrets of the
employees of the New Jersey Terra
Gotta in having to part with man
who had been with them for such a
long time and had treated them so
well. After the address of Mr.. Lar
sen, Sofus Knudeson presented to Mr..
Mathiasen, in behalf of the employees,
a silver tea set of five pieces with the
initials @. M. engraved on each piece.
1t was stated that the gift was to
show the esteem in which the men
held Mr. Mathiasen.
After the presentation Mr.. Mathia-
sen made an address in which he
thanked them for the great kindness
He showed no little emotion. Mr..
Mathiasen also spoke of the new fac
tory at Swan Hill. He said although
the new concern expected to be push
ed very hard by the other factories
AAfthAuk5 uAO oc1AuO hAANl VI pOAAb OObutS
they hoped to win out in the long
run, by hard work and fair means.
Following Mr.. Mathiasen, Mr..
Laust Nelson, of Woodbridge, told
how he had first met Christian
Mathiasen when he was working as a
mitre cutter in terra Gotta factory,
and how he had seen him work up to
his present position.
The Braga Singing Society then
rendered a number of selections,
which were greatly enjoyed and
heartily applauded. After this re-
freshments of coffee and cake were
served. At a late hour the crowd
broke up after wishing Mr.. Mathiasen
the greatest success with the Swan
Hill Terra Gotta Works.
