fore the dessert, or with crackers, wa.
fer biscuits or celery with a salad be-
fore hot dessert, or after the dessert.
Cheese fingers and chees straws are
served with the salad. A Stilton or
Chester cheese is cut in half and one
part wrapped in napkin and served,
says the Pittsburg Press. Roquefort
and Gorgonzola are cut in large slices
from the cheese and served in folded
napkin. The American dairy cheese
is cut in small cubes of equal size,

To Dry Shoes.

The usual-and the wrong way-of
treating wet shoes is to take them
off and put them on the fender or the
radiator to dry. This method spoils
the shoes. Too much heat cracks and
hardens leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles, any where, to dry.
The proper way is to place the
shoes, soles upward, near enough to
the fire to dry slowly and properly,
but not to steam during the drying.
The soles should always be turned
upward, even when the shoes are only
e little wet, for this way enables the

Linen Sunshades.

Dark blue and dark red linen sun
shades are among the seasons novel
ties. They are usually adorned with
a pattern in white, and some of them
have deep ruffie as an edge and are
unlined.
The odd effect of these novel sun
shades is heightened by the handle
and stick, which are blue or red, to
match the cover. Quite prolonged
vogue is predicted for these decided
ly novel little affairs, as they are both
effective and useful.

Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of
Guthrie, Okla, cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi-
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinlxham claims that there
is kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by arrangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance' similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only. acts as a
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as we'll.
Thousands of testimonial let
ters prove beyond question that
nothing will relieve this distress
ing condition so surely as Lydia

Grandfather Whites frequent advice
to his children and grandchildren.
And then he used to tell us this story.
My father had an account when he
lived in England. and once his bill at
the saddIer's was larger than he ex.
pected; but he paid It. for he had no
way of proving that he hadn't bought
the items charged. A year or two
later the saddler died. and It came out
through his clerk that he had done
some queer things. He was consider.
ed an honest man, but queer. A man
went to the store one day and bought
a saddle. and ordered 1t charged to
his account. And when 1t was too
late the clerk who sold the saddle
did not know the gentleman's name.
"Oh, well" said the saddler, charge
It to all who have accounts here. and
the right one will pay for it. The
others will know they didn't buy IT,"
And did they know It? Never a
bit The clerk said that forty persons
paid for the saddle

Renllzatlon of Llncoln,s wIsh.

When General o. o. Howard was on
the point OF leaving Washington for
Chattanooga with his command thirty
nine years ago, during the civil war,
President Lincoln especially commend
ed the Tennessee mountaineers to him,
wished him 90 understand and appre-
clate them and expressed a hope that
some day they would have larger op
portunitles, especially In schooling and
In securing a higher education.
Some years later General Howard be
gan the task OF securing an endowment
fund for the Cumberland Gap univer.
slty In Tennessee and few days age
announced that he had succeeded In
raising 100000 for that purpose, thus
realizing, IN part at least. the wish Of
the martyred president In comparison
with the endOwments Of many colleges
and universities this endowment Is
small. but the inspiration OF II and the
spirit with which General Howard has
carried ON the work OF securing the
fund make II a notable and commend
able bequest and win no doubt be the
means of accomplishing much good.
The university for which this modest
endowment has been secured is perhaps
not so well known or presumptuous as
many OF the institutions which have
been richly endowed. but 1t has the
field and facilities for doing excellent
work. II has academic. normal and in
dustrial departments. The academic
department begins with the primary
school Teachers are instructed In the
normal department In the Industrial
department boys are taught farm work,
carpentry, masonry, typesetting and
other trades, and the girls are instruct
ed In all branches OF domestic work.
There are more than 800 pupils on the
rolls who pay their way either by work
or money. General Howard says that
when the institution was started there
were in a group OF fourteen counties
2O00OOO people without school priVi-
leges.

Salem had a carnival last summer,
and II was a decided success, prob.
ably for the same reason that made
the one at The Dalles a profitable in.
vestment. and a source of pleasure to
the citizens of that place, for Arnold's
shows did much toward making the
week a most pleasant one, and the

to make of the carnival management,
