Her blessed Power.

Abiding to the good influence exert
ed by kind hearted woman Of humble
life and retiring disposition great
writer on moral and religious subjects
says: "What was the secret Of her
power? What had she done2 Abso-
lutely nothing, but radiant smiles,
beaming good humor, the tact Of divin-
ing what every one wanted, told that
she had got out of self and learned to
think Of others, SO that at one time It
showed itself by sweet words, at IN
other by soothing a sobbing child. None
but she saw those things. None but
n loving heart could see them. That
was the secret of her blessed power.
The woman who. whatever her station
in life may be, will be found In trial
capable Of great acts of love is ever
the one who is always doing small
ones"

Trust Money and the St. Louis Con
yention.

The Tammany Times explains in
a series of articles why the trusts
contributed vast sums Of money to
control the St. Louis convention.
The following paragraphs are fair
index to its lengthy recital of facts:
when the New York Sun came
out for Roosevelt this year it proved
beyond a shadow of a doubt that
the great kings Of finance wanted
Roosevelt elected President of the
United States. There might have
been some trouble between the
President and the corporation about
the time Of the coal strike when the
Sun inquired whether the President
of the United States had gone crazy
to interfere in this sort Of thing.
But no matter what the differences
Of opinion-they had all been set
tied at the time that the Sun pro-
nounced in favor Of Roosevelt and
against Alton B. Parker.
That being the case it wiIlnatural-
ly be inquired where Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan came in" and
what the Standard Oil Trust wanted
Of the Democratic Party. A thing
like this is simple and easy when
you understand it. The Trust
capitalists concluded that it was
easier to influence national conven-
ton than to buy an election. They
had been compelled to subscribe
$l6,0 100000 to the Republican party
during the first Bryan campaign.
The second Bryan campaign though
less costly was nevertheless an ex-
pensive luxury. They could not
tell where third campaign of ed
,ication in opposition to the trusts
might emf. Hence they decided to
secure control Of the st. Louis con-
vention."
Ii the democrats of the whole
country had possessed as much in
telligence and sterling honesty as
the democrats Of Iowa, the agents of
the trusts would never have been
able to do what they did at the St.
Louis convention.

Will the Tariff Barons Triumph Owe,
the President?

For several weeks past there has
been titanic struggle between the
President and the tariff +barons over
the question Of tariff revision, and
at the present writing it is general
ly understood that the President
has agreed to defer for the present
his recommendations, on the subject.
The President no doubt wants to
break up the unjust and unneces-
sary privileges enjoyed by the few
to the injury Of the many, but in SO
doing he does not want to break up
the republican party, and there is
.'where his troubles center. Every
republican manager, who is the rep
resentative Of a state machine, the
existence of which is dependent
upon the support Of the privileged
classes, is vehemently assuring the
President that tariff revision will
wreck the republican party, and
there is the Presidents weak spot,
and there is where they are aiming
their arrows.
The situation calls to mind the
story which has been told to chill
dren ever since the Night Of Ages
of the mother who, wishing to rem.
der her son immortal, dipped him
in the waters Of a sacred river, but
in SO doing failed to immense the
heel by which she held him. His
enemies learned the location Of his
weak spot, and Achilles was de-
stroyed by being struck in his I'M
protected heel.

Already the legions of Greed
claim that they have prevailed upon
the President not to call an extra
session of Congress to revise the
tariff schedules,tand.. they go further
and assert that if there is no extra
session there twill be no tariff re-
vision during the nextffour years.
In1 his battle with. Greed and the
republican managers the President
will be very apt to be defeated. 1t
is not possible for the republican
party to dissolve its alliance with
Greed without causing general
breaking up Of the republican party
machines, and the President will
hesitate long before he smashes the
machines.

155-s l>,AAsAAts1A, VIC W6lI AuCWu
Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Record Herald, asks this
question:
SIS it possible for the Republican
party to free itself of entanglements
and to throw its tremendous weight
in opposition to special privileges,
Or is it SO securely bound in the
meshes of the great commercial and
financial powers that it must leave
all such work to other parties"
That is the all important question
in American politics today. Preda-
tory wealth may strive ever so hard
to obscure it andraise other issues,
but their endeavors will result in
failures. The political contests of
the immediate future in this country
will be waged along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Wellman's question.

a HOME SHAMPOO i 1 i


How to Clean the Scalp and Have the
HAIR Soft and EluMy.
Washing the hair is task most wo-
men dislike, and even the girl who can
least afford the dollar q month neces-
sary to professional shampoo pre-
fers to pay it ut u sacrifice rather than
bother to wash her own hair. Yet II
the work is gone about In the right
manner at home 1t need not be difficult
at all.
The first thing is to prepare sham
poo liquid. Take a square inch Of
some good soap, shave IL. fine and dis.
solve it in half a cup Of hot water.
Then add teaspoonful Of violet am-
monia and the raw white of an egg.
Beat these thoroughly and strain
through wire sieve. Now stand with
the head over basin. pour a little Of
the shampoo over the scalp and. rub
briskly with both hands. Use all the
liquid in this way, rubbing 1t thor
oughly, on the scalp. After this wash
the scalp with several basins Of warm
water and then wash the long hair In
the basin of water. Rinse by holding
the head over the bnthtub and pour
Ing over it n stream Of warm water,
keeping this up until the water that
drips from the hair is perfectly clean.
Then dash with cold water to close the
pores and prevent taking cold.
You are now ready to dry the hair.
First wrap it in thick towel and
wiring thoroughly. Then spread dry
towel across the back, throw the hair
back and rub the scalp well and dry.
1t may TAKE some time, but it is the
best possible means of drying, acting
as n massage too. Call in the aid Of
the sun If possible, but never use
steam. Do not brush the hair until IL
Is thoroughly dry. Then, us you brush,
raise the hair, that the strands may be
separated. After this combing will not
be difficult, and when the hair is ready
to go up it will be soft and fiuffy.-Chi,

A woman in company to make her
self agreeable must always seem pleas
ed and contented. She must give the
impression that she is really enjoying
herself, whether that be the ease OF
not.
The woman who wants to make her
self liked by being agreeable must
have one style for all. There must be
no consideration Of position OF par
ties in this respect The rule should
be one style for rich and poor, no
fawning on the one or haughtiness for
the other. The woman who adopts
this Inter line of behavior ends by be-
ing disliked all round. =
