As fate would have it, Rhol-Smith
died before he had progressed far with
the work and his widow claimed that
the contract having been awarded it
must be carried out. So she engaged
another sculptor who, not only had
never talked with Rohl-Smith about the
statue, but who had never seen Sher-
man, and he completed the job.
incidentally the statue was paid for
before 1T was completed, and all the
money was used up; SO that there was

have been astonished to find that from
the most common point of view above
the treasury the horse appears to be

treasury in the parking which makes it

splcuous site in the entire city. Com

States.
When he made the innovation Spin
ner was treasurer of the United States.
He held Office from 1861 to 1875, and his
peculiar corkscrew signature became
as universally familiar as the green
backs to which it was affixed. He not
only proposed the employment Of wo-
men, but he fought for 1t. He was lucky
in having for a superior Salmon P.
chase, who, as secretary Of the treasury,
had finally to pass upon the question,
and Kate Chase Sprague, the secretary's
brilliant daughter, was a warm cham
pion OF the proposition. Indeed, there
are some who say it was her original
suggestion and hat Spinner only fol-
lowed suit. But whoever made the
suggestion Spinner will always have the
credit OF carrying it into effect.
Now the women in the departments
are going to erect a monument to Spin
ner's memory. The movement was
started very soon after Spinner's death,
and IL years ago those who were in
terested organized themselves into the
General Spinner Memorial association"
Funds have been raised, the monument
has been completed-it will be Of bronze
and congress has given permission for
Its erection in the national capital.
The government departments to-day
offer the most remunerative employ
ment which is open to women anywhere
in the world. The salaries paid will
average almost as much as those paid
to men and in many instances they are
higher.

MAKING JELLY.
Pointers That VIII show the way
to Success il Directions Are
Closely Followed.

Jelly bags should be. made at home.
They are three %cornered in shape, prefer
ably OF flannel, and at least half a dozen
should be in readiness for the canning
season, advises the New York Tribune.
In making jelly take care not to
squeeze the strainipg bag, as 1t impairs
the clearness of the jelly. While the
juice is cooking, place the sugar in a pan
in the over and heat through; take care
that it does not burn, and stir 1t about
from time to time, soit will heat evenly.
When the fruit juice has cooked for 20
minutes pour the sugar into it a little at
a time; the sugar, being hot, does not
lower the boiling point, and jelly made
In this way will always "jeil." II the
sugar does not hiss as it touches the
juice 1t is not sufficiently hot. Let 1t
all boil up together for a few minutes
after the sugar d~issolves. and then pour
into a pitcher. tying over the nose of the
latter a piece of cheesecloth, first wet in
cold water and then wrung dry out OF
very not water. Pour the juice into the
glasses through this cloth, discarding 1t
for a fresh one as soon as it becomes
covered wish pu't. This final straining
is little extra ttouble, and makes the
jelly clear and sparkling, as jelly should
be. Tin covers are not advisable for
jelly, as they are apt to rustand impart
9. disagreeabie flavor. Parafine paperis
considered best for the tops of jelly
glasses. Tie the paper firmly in place
after the jelly is cos, moisten it with
water, and it will adhere closely to the
glass. II paraff1ne wax is used it should
be put on in a thin'layer. as a thick coat
ing is apt to shrink and leave the jelly
exposed. Cover h jjsiiyswthiiii e iittis {
ing, as it makes an excellent culture
medium for germs, and@set in q cooI
place. A layer of graduated sugar
placed over the top of the jelly just be-
fore the paper is put on will prevent the
formation of mold.
To all such fruits as grapes and
peaches, which do rot give a clear Jelly.
a little apple juice should be added. This
VIII not destroy the favor of the grapes.
With apples. except in the case of 5szsaa.ss
apples, some other fruit should baused
to give flavor. A small quantity of tbss
parings and cores of ounces will fayeT
a large amount of apple Jelly, but the
seeds should never be allowed to get

Peary still had a longing to go back
ito the polar seas, and that he had a new

leave of three years and then told Peary

E n WORK I
Some Pretty Things That Can Ne
Done by the Woman Who Ii
MT All Handy.


Mexican drawn work is as much liked
as ever, says the Chicago Daily News.
Knotted fringe borders for counter
panes suggest colonial days.
Fine white swiss bureau scarfs over a
tint are among the daintiest.
A finely embroidered linen bedspread
in a light weight is a possession to re-
joice over.
russian applique is conspicuous on
down comfortables, covered with some
silk and satin.
Fancy aprons were never more popu-
lar than now and offer a suggestion to
the woman who does fine needlework.
Counterpanes with insertions are
noted, though it seems more sensible to
have them either all lace or with none
at all.
Plncushions are very small and are
covered with a square Of embroidered
liner fashioned at the corners by tiny
ribbon bows.
The dainty little covered baskets
picked up for a trifle are used by one
clever needlewoman for gifts. She
lines them with satin Innings filled with
sachet powder and cleverly converts
them into useful sewing boxes with side
pockets or lovely jewel cases.
Glove cases are very useful. indeed,
serving to keep gloves separated from
other things. and If well embroidered
they are ornamental as we'll. Sachets
or cases for gloves are preferable to
boxes, especially to those who move

room In packing. A glove case can be
made Of art linen, Roman satin, silk,
etc, and should be long enough to take
ordinary f~our-button gloves easily, and
II you put a division in it the result will
be good. A division is made ~lengthwise
and consists of a doubled piece of the
silk used for lining. This permits OF the
separation of white from colored gloves.
An odd and attractive gift, suitablefor
a holiday or birthday souvenir, is a won-
der bag. 1t is made of some light mate
rial like stlkellne or light weight ere-
tonne. and fitted with many pockets, the
more unexpected In location the better.
Into each of these pockets is put some
gift, triling or substantial. The re-
cipient is expected to search out one OF
the gifts each day as long as they last.
or reserve them for such special days as
Christmas, New Years. Easter, st. Valen-
tines day, May day and so on. As a gem
era thing the wonder bag makes a more
pleasing gift when it is understood that
the various pockets are to be searched
daily until the contents are exhausted
than If certain and far apart days are
suggested for the search. For q child
this bag is apt to prove a very acceptable
gift, particularly II the youthful re-
cipient be permitted to explore all the
pockets at once.

The fifteenth annna convention OF
the South Dakota w. C. I. u. closed
it's session in Redfeld. The attend
ance has been large and the interest
more intense than usual. All parts of
the state have been represented, even
to the far away Black Hills. The Off
GERS for the past year were as follows:
Mrs. Luella A. Ramsey, Woonsocket,
president; Mrs. Floy Cochrane, Brook
ings, vice president; Mrs. Laura E. Da-
wilson, Woonsocket, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. Frances E. Conkling,
Canton, recording secretary; Mrs. Eloi-

AT the election of officers all were re-
elected except Mrs. Ecken beck, who
has left the state to reside in st. Paul.
Her office was taken by Mrs. L. A Bid
well of Mitchell. The place for the
next session was left to. the executive
committee. The present membership
in the state is about 1900. The annu-

the north shore of Grantland, where the
colony will settle and form a base of
supplies for the party which will under
take to reach the pole. This base of sup
plies viii be within 500 miles of the pole,
several hundred miles nearer than the
base OF supplies of any previous explor-
ing party. and thus affording Just that
much additional advantage. Once there,
Peary will make up his party, which will
consist Of only one white man besides
himself. the others being Eskimos. The
entire party will consist of about 20
persons.
The dash for the pole oter the ice will
begin on February 1, 1906. Dogs will be
used to haul the sledges and the party
will make better time than other ex-
petitions. as it will be small and every
member of 1t will have been Thoroughly
trained In Arctic life.
The Eskimos can get over the rough
ice which abounds with far greater ease
than any white men, and that is the
main reason for combining the party
practically to them. twill not be neces-
=sary to waste time looking out for ex-
hausted companions. Peary hopes to
reach the pole and return to his base Of
supplies in time to get back to the Unit
ed States early in the fall Of 1905.

receiving his regular weekly salary just
as he used to when he was young and

he needn't do any work in return. Still

Patrick was a messenger for the Her

Once on a time a new correspondent,

proprietor. Patrick went over to New
York the next day and as soon as teIe-

was assigned to another field of duty.
Patrick held on to the very last and

found that he had laid by over SIS. 900

Rockford Rifles of Rockford, Ill.
Pioneers remembered that the uni

sufferers chiefly required, and the
clothing could not satisfy the pangs of
hunger the soldiers clothes were
