HOW TO BECOME A VEL
COME GUEST IN SUMMER

If you possess a tender conscience
toward your hostess, show it by never
taking any liberties in her house with
her belongings, her servants or her
children. To become a welcome guest
you must be keenly Observant OF tam
lily habits and little preferences, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Come down very, very promptly to
meals, and because you have owlish
tendencies don't make the household
smother it's yawns while it heroically
attempts to entertain you.
Never displace chair, book or
lamp without carefully replacing it
just where you found it.
Don't leave your sewing, crochet
work. novel or tennis racket lying
about, as l knew one nice, careless
girl to do in home where the hostess
was peculiarly tidy.
Miss Blank evidently left her bag
Of golf clubs near a doorway, where
the host stumbled over them in the
dark and hurt his knee severely. Her
sails Of wool lay in sofa corners hall
the time, or in tangled mass on the
parlor floor, and she appropriated to
her own use big, deep chair in the
chimney corner that was the special
property, pride and solace of the hosts
elderly and rheumatic sister,
She meant no harm, of course, but
her careless disregard Of the partic-
IlafitieS of others rendered her pecll-
Iiarly mwelcome t0 her hostess ana
all the family in which she visited.
They were glad TO see her go as was
another hostess | knew, who invited
a young man friend OF her husband
to stop over the weekend in her dain-
ty little home.
The young man friend was a good
fellow at heart. but the charming
guest room he occupied for but two
days was a wreck when he left it. He
had tied the fresh muslin window cu,
tains into hard knots in order to gain
more light upon his shaving glass;
he had dropped hot cigar ashes on the
embroidered bureau cover and burned
two big holes therein.
TRYING to move about the room in
the dark, he overturned vase OF flow
ers and ruined pretty rug, and ne
coolly scratched his matches on. the
wall. Finally he dragged dainty
chintZ-covered chair out upon the
guest room balcony, and left it there
all night in the rain.

oCCUKGE OF THE AMAZON.
Mosquitoes Render People Along the
Great River Miserable.

Mosquitoes Render People Along the
Great River Miserable.
It IS not pleasure to live in the
wild regions along the banks OF the
River Amazon. The Indians of that
region all suffer martyrdom from the
mosquitoes. Nobody in even the
worst mosquito regions Of the United
states can imagine what the mosqui-
ices Of the Amazon region are like.
They actually drive the Indians, har-
dened as they are, from their villages
at times. The people drag their
women and children into woods and
uplands on such occasions, fleeing in
headlong terror, and they do not ven
ture back to their homes until day.
light.
Smudges and other similar means
for fighting the pest are of no use in
the Amazon country when the mosqui-
toes sally forth for a might out"
They appear then in such hordes that
the masses force themselves through
smoke and even fire

NO NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.

Ii is not likely that anybody will be
fooled by the Republican claim that
the September results in Vermont and
Arkansas gives an indication OF the
trend of political sentiment through
out the country. Vermont has gone
Republican and Arkansas has gone
Democratic just ase verybody knew
they would These state-election re-
suits are significant of the certainty
that Vermont will go Republican and
Arkansas will go Democratic in the
November election-and not OF one
thing else.
The Republican managers are claim
ing an increase in the Republican vote
and a decrease in the Democratic vote
in Vermont as compared with the
state election of 1900. and arguing
from this standpoint they see Won
derful things in slightly increased
majority for Mr.. Bell, their candidate
Governor Stickney received that year.
Nobody outside Of Vermont has for
minute believed there was the sligtest
likelihood of any increase IN the Dem
ocratic vote in that conservative old
New England state where the party
l;nes are drawn just as they have been
for the last thirty wears and where
the little band of Democrats is in
such a hopeless minority that one
who Joins it leaves behind him all
hope OF ever holding a state or coun
ty or municipal office There is not
q single county in the state which the
Democrats have the slightest chance
CT carrying. Every Young man, and
Il hone OF getting taste of of!iciai
salary-and Office appeals to the thrift
ty New England soul just as about as
strongly as it does to that of his broth
er in other regions-realizes that his
only show is through the Republican
party.
The only possible warrant for the
Republican claim that there IS any sig
n'ficance in the Vermont result is
found in the fact that the Democratic
managers sent some campaign speak
ers into that state. To an outsider,
that looked like giving the Vermont
contest an importance it did not dc
serve.
AS to Arkansas, the fact that siren
uous !eff Davis has a much smaller
majority than he had in 1902 and 1900
means absolutely nothing more than
that a good many Of the enemies of
Governor Davis in his own party have
declined to vote for him. The faction
al differences in the Democratic party
of Arkansas are exceedingly bitter.
Davis succeeded in having himself
nominated for third term after 4
hard fight. His enemies are bitter in
their opposition to him and the re-
turns of the election show that many
Of them respectfully declined to enter
his name upon their ballots. In 1900, |
Governor Davis had plurality of AZ
936 and in 1902 a plurality of 4S.1O3. /,
The Democratic pluralities upon the |
national ticket were 4O950 in 1892: |
70, 2,591 in 1896, and 36,342 in 1900 Ar

MISTAKES IN LIFE
Broeding over Them II Useless and
Improbable WORK.


One OF the most Improbable ways
OF spending time is the practice, to
which many persons are addicted, OF
brooding over the mistakes one has
made in life and thinking what he
might have been or achieved IL he
had not done at certain times just what
he did do. Almost every unsuccessful
man In looking over his past career Is
inclined to think that 1t would have
been wholly different but for certain
slips and blunders-certain hasty, III
considered acts into which he was be
trayed almost unconsciously and with
ont n suspicion of their consequences.
AS he thinks of all the good things
of this world-honor, position. power
and infiuence-of which he has been
deprived In some mysterious, inexplica-
bic way, he has no patience with him
self, and as it is painful and humiliat-
ing to dwell long upon ones own foi
lies II is fortunate If he does not i'm
plicate others-friends and relatives
I'm his disappointments. Perhaps. az
education has never been free from
Observation-Disclosures indeed of every
kind-he imputes the blame to his
early training. in which habits Of thor
oughness and accuracy or. again, OF
self reliance and independence OF
thought may not have been implant'
ed. Perhaps a calling was chosen fol
him by his parents without regard tc
his peculiar talents or tastes and pref
erences. or II he was allowed to choose
for himself 1t was when his judgment
was immature and unfit for the respoh
sibilty. The result was that the square
man got into the round hole or the tn
angular man got into the square holt
or the round man squeezed himsei
