Don't tip the shoulders from side ia

Never fail to wash the eyes every

Don't let tartar accumulate on the

evils in its wake. Have it removed

Don't use tooth powder which con-

on the teeth and the last on the gums.
Don't use one side of the mouth only
when eating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount of exercise
and decay sets in more rapidly on one
side than the other.
Don't fail to remember this rule
that in walking you should carry your.

One of the greatest mistakes girl
can make Is to argue with herself that
certain sutton Is domestic by nature
and will make a good and attentive
husband because he prefers lounging
about in the drawing room of her ia
theirs house and paying her pretty
compliments to taking her out to thea
tiers and concerts.
This is the mark Of the stay-at-home
lover and the never-at-home husband.
But for the mistaken notion that he
Is a born "fireside companion" few
girls would put up with such n suitor.
Nothing so pleases an engaged gtrl
as to be escorted here and there by
her fiance. She is in love, and is proud
of him. She has acquired valuable
bit of property and wants to exhibit
1t.
She likes to imagine all the other
girls mildly envlous when they see her
out in public places with this big,
handsome fellow, like wax In her
hands.
She knows that this Is the most tri-
umphant period of n girls life-and
what is triumph without an audience =.
The fact about the stay-at-home
fiance Is that he is lazy. He loves his
ease. After marriage, If he finds his
club more comfortable than his home,
this Is the sort of man who will gravi-
tate back to his club life-after the
honeymoon.
At present he cannot bear to be out
of sight of the girl whose love he has
gained
After his days work is over, and the
inner man has been fed and comfort
ed, perchance he sallies forth to her
home, but by no means to suggest even
a walk. No. Being there, there he
stays; and the drawing room contain
ing the family piano having perforce

many are the uncomplimentary re-
marks passed by future brothers and
sisters-in-law, many the more or less
good-natured jeers hurled at his

Leader of National Demo-

RETIREMENT OF JAMES X. JONES
Should Jones of Arkansas Retire, and
German Succeed Him, the Manage
ment of Democratic Politics Will
Fall into Conservative Hands-The
Revival of Cleveland's Popularity.

! Washington, March 19.-The an
Inouncement is expected to be made here
soon that James *. Jones. of Arkansas,
will retire as chairman of the national
democratic committee, ami that Senator
| German, of Maryland, will be chosen
in his place. That will put the manage.
ment of democratic politics back into
| conservative hands.
Another interesting political change
that has developed with astonishing
rapidity turnout the east within the last
few days is the revival of the popu-
larity of Grover Cleveland, and some-
thing nearly approaching serious de-
mand that he be candidate for
president next year. Mr.. Cleveland has
yielded to the extent of agreeing to
make an extensive tour in the west in
April and May. The demand for con-
sideration of Cleveland was voiced yes
terday by the New York World now the
sanest democratic newspaper published
III the east, which prints column edi-
torial. summing UP Cleveland's strength.
The World expresses no set opinion one
way or the other. but iE the course OF
its editorial it says:
This whole question resolves itself
into this: What other democrat is as
strong as Grover Cleveland? What
other candidate could command so
many republican and Independent votes
in the great pivotal states that are abb
solutely essential to democratic sue
cess? What other democrat ever did get
SO many votes outside of his party In
these states as Cleveland Gid in 1892,
when he carried not only New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut. but In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Califor-
MIA, and got one electoral vote in Ohio.
so narrow was the margin there?
Two weeks ago politicians here talked
Judge Parker, of New York, for a
democratic candidate. Now, as If by
magic. Cleveland's name is on all DEM
ocratic tongues.

presidential ticket That party will
then also be looking over the west. and
this has called attention to the fact
that three democratic candidates for
mayor-Ingalls in Cincinnati Tom
johnson in Cleveland and Golden Rule
Jones in Toledo-naturally concentrate
attention on the state of Ohio. For
the same reason quite a number of far
seeing republicans are looking in that
direction.
They see in William III. Taft of Ohio,
the present governor of the Philippines
an ideal man for vice president. He is
expected back in this country during
the coming summer, and If he should
happen to take Mr.. Roots place as
secretary of war and later on be a vice
presidential candidate with Roosevelt
the outcome would not be surprising
to some Of the oldest heads in the re-
publican party. They look upon Ohio
as more or less of doubtful state, es
pecially IL Il man like NJ. T.. Ingalls,
should be nominated for the second
place on the democratic ticket. Taft, 1t
is said, could carry the state beyond
any doubt, leaving the president to
conduct his own fight in New York.
where the real battle of the campaign
will certainly be waged.
The suggestion of Tafts name for
the vice presidency has been made seri-
ously within the last few days, and it
has been received with such favor as
to lead to the belief that it would be
generally popular in the party because
the governor of the Philippines has
become a national character and there
fore would measure up to the full pos
sibility of candidate on the presi
Dental ticket.

MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN.
Mr.. Mccleary Favors the Plan Pro-
posed by Senator CuIiom.

Washington, March 19.-"It would
be a fitting tribute to the greatness of
Abraham Lincoln to erect in Wash
ington a magnificent statue or MEM
crial in honor OF the great civil war
president such as proposed by Senator
Cullom," said preventative Nc
Cleary, of Minnesota. "A substantial
memorial would not only help to beau
tify the national capital, but would be
an expression on the part of the peo-
pie of their admiration of a humane
man who was so near the hearts of the
common people. BY his generosity
simplicity, democracy and humanity he
cndeared himself to the people as few
other men have done.
"Of course the question of design
of memorial is one which must be de-
cided in the future, but when we reach
the point where a decision must be
made, should be in favor of mem
orial on magnificent scale, and l am
sure the people would not begrudge
the expenditure of large sum of
money for this purpose"

Lincoln,s Strongest Attribute.

The strongest attribute of Lincoln
was his power of self control. Senti-
ment might sway him, but mob never
moved him. When jealousies in the
army bred popular clamor against
General Grant, while the latter was
winning famous victories in the south
west Lincoln listened to no word Of
scandal and by his silence rebuked the
defamers of the general who afterward
became the admiration of the world.
When in the feyered tumnlt of passion
an angry north seemed to voice gen
eral demand for the infection Of the
death penalty upon JeTerson Davis,
Lincoln listened in silence and waited
for reason to resume its sway. He was
always looking over the heads Of the
crowd. He was always listening to the
still small voice that echoed in the dis
lance far away from the roar of yehe-
ment denunciation. The majesty of
the law conntantls Appealed to his fine
ssdicial sense.-Leslie's Weekly
