Who Saw 1t First.

Jim and Fred, brothers Of six and
four years Of age, we're fond of argu-
ments between themselves, says the
Chicago Record Herald. They we're
arguments that never went beyond the
worry siage. but on occasion became
somewhat heated.
They were out one day with their
nurse when they happened to pass an
old house that was landmark in the
neighborhood. Instantly the spirit of
dispute was aroused. Said Jim the
elder: II saw that house first"
Fred picked up the gage of battle
promptly and replied: "Nc, you
didn't; I saw it before you did
"No, you didn't persisted Jim.
II saw it before you were bern, cause
I'm older than you and passed by here
fore you were born"
This was convincing, even to Fred 8
infantile mind, and for some time he
was silent. Then after pause he an
nounoed triumphantly: II don't
care if you are the oldest, I saw it be-
fore you. When was dust I blew by
this house and saw it"

A Cotton Picking Machine.

1t came out yesterday that the visit
Of Mr.. Theodore H. Price, the New
York cotton bear, to Charlotte had
more than one purpose behindit. Mr..
Price left the city shortly after the
arrival of DR.. A. A. Hammerschlag,
president Of tho Carnegie Manual
Training school, in Pittsburg, Pa. Tho
latter met here Messrs. w. p. Quen-
tell and W. s. Dean. Sunday morn
ing the gentlemen drove out into the
country South Of the city, preceded
by large box which had come by ex-
press. 1t has been learned that the
box contained a new cotton picking
machine and it was sent here to be
tested in the cotton fields near by.
It is known that Mr.. Price, besides
the other gentlemen, is interested in
the machine, but the construction and
operation Of it has been kept Sc
oret. 1t is said to be operated by
electricity. 1t is not known how the
experiment came out, but it is rumor-
ed that the machine failed to work ia
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Prioe is
said to have remarked that he was
much disappointed, as he had spent
about $50, 1000 in experiments with va
rious cotton picking machines, and
none of them had given entire salts

Life Sentences for Highwaymen.

Chicago is receiving some criticism
because of her rigorous treatment of
robbers. The statute making high
way robbery punishable by life impris-
onment has been resurrected and in one
week nine hold.up men we're sent over
the road for life.
1t is humane and just to talk about
reforming criminals. Every man who
errs aud is sorry, and wants to dc be-.
ter should be given as much oppor-
tunity for reformation as the welfare
of society can stand.
But the man who makes an assault
for the gpurpose of gain is at heart g
detestable.murderer. He isn't an or
dinary thug. lie is prepared to slay,
aud in almost every case he is grad
1ete in crime, not student.
Human life is sacred. 1t is fact
pretty we'll ground into the brain of
every human being. The man who
waits in the dark armed with blud-
geon and q revolver, keyed 20 the
point where he will kill in order to
gain your personal property, is pre-.
meditated murderer. He knows what
he is doing, and what he proposes to

cities if he can employ a smart attor.
ney, one with political pull prefer
red: and has enough money, or friends
who have money, he can either escape
entirely or get off with a short sem
tence.
That kind of man is an enemy of
society. Decency forbids electrocut-
ing him unless he has taken life, and
30 wisdom demands that he disappear
not for few months or few years,
but until he shall emerge from behind
the dark walls Of prison in his cof-
in.
Reform him in his cell if you will.
Treat him humarely and kindly.
But keep him where he will never
again be tempted to raise his murder
ous hand against his kind.
A look at the criminal statistics of
this country and persual of the thous.
ands Of criminal tragedies reported in
the newspapers prove that the terror
of the law does not appeal to those
who do wrong with the force it should.

stand what the climate of Cuhe really
is they will go there in summer as
we'll as in winter. ] am speaking now
of the northern coast, where my plan
tation is situated. On the northern
coast we get the trade winds, which
temper the heat. 1t is 40 hotter in
July and August than in January.
II have placed thermometer out
in the sun on some Of the hottest
days, and have never known it to
register more than 104 degrees. The
temperature with US varies from 69 to
80 degrees, and there is difference of
abou. Is degrees each day.
"Thus, in the morning man will
find warm jacket comfortable, to-
ward the middle of the day linen
suit is all one can stand, and by even
ing it is cool again. There is no such
thing as the continual, enervating
heat of our summer days to endure at
any time.
"Another odd thing is that no mat
ter how hot the sun may be the
shadows are always delightfully."- cool.
If one is dripping with perspiration
out under torrid sky he has only to
step into the shade of e cree or into
the house in order to be in another
atmosphere.
"The only trouble with the atmos-
phere is that there is something 80 sa-
lubrious, so indescribably delightful,
in the air that the most energetic of
Americans is apt to forget the whole
some traditions Of his bringing up
and to begin to wonder what is the
good Of working when it is 80 pleasant
just to sit around and breathe. Un-
consciously, but irresistibly, what we
know as southern languor falls upon
every one who lives there for time.
So I always advise any one who comes
down there with work to accomplish to
start right in and get that work done
as quickly as possible.
"Of course there is rainy season,
when it may pour for an hour or so
every day for from six weeks to three
months. But this is not 30 great an
Inconvenience as might be imagined,
for the rain comes at more or less
regular intervals, and oae can ealcu-
late just when to expect it.
"The jejen is something for the
comings and goings of which there is
no accounting. It is black and about
the size Of the point Of very fine
needle, and that is all any one knows
about it.
SIT arrives unexpectedly, in swarms
that seem to fill the air, and as sud
denly departs. While present it is
excessively uncomfortable, settling
on the under part Of the wrists and
upon the ankles aud causing them to
swell and sting as though poisoned.
When we are sitting outdoors Of an
evening some one may suddenly ez-
claim: Don't you feel something?
And it will dawn upon the rest of
US that we do. Then there is moth
ing for it but to beat hasty retreat
within doors until the jejen has de-
parted.

- NE of the most interesting de-
velopments in modern medical
" science is the certain proof of
the immense importance of
cold water to health, both as rem
edy for and a prevention OF disease.
But cold water should not be con-
founded with ice water; that is almost
as disastrous to stomach, heart and
liver as a liquor or drug habit. Cold
water means the temperature of
spring water of an October morning,
lust a crisp freshness about it, but no
shock. For drinking purposes water
should be cooled in an icebox, just
bottled or canned, but never with ice
in it. which Is unhygienic as well as
unesthetic.
Physicians declare that very few
Americans drink enough water, that
the bad digestion, bad complexion and
bad nerves of our city and town people
are largely due to the result Of not
drinking enough cold water.
The system demands its full allow
apce of clear. cool, natural fluid in or
der to do its work properly, and
breakfast, coffee, luncheon chocolate
and dinner cocktails are not only
bad substitute, but worse than none
When the body is thirsty it is call
ing for water; at least half pint be-
fore breakfast, another before going
to bed and three half pints during the
day. preferably not at meals
1t is an excellent plan every morn
ing and night before drinking water TO
rinse the mouth with a solution OF
warm water and borax- Just pinch
of powder in half a tumbler of water.
II gives the water a deliciously fresh
taste, besides sweetening the mouth
hardening the gums and cleansing the
teeth.
A course of this cold water treat
ment is worth trying il Just for the
sake of a hearty appetite and rosy
cheeks.
To get the best value Of your effort
you should accompany the cold water
drinking with daily morning cold
bath
The bath should be taken before the
drink. so that there Is not the faint
est chance OF arresting even the simple
process Of digesting water. A cold
bath is only a success with an empty
stomach

suit, for it covers multitude Oh SINS
and always creates a splendid impress
sion And after all, impressions OF the
favorable sort are what every woman
on the face of the green globe is striv-
ing for. The actress, out OF an en-
gagement, spends her last dollar on
fit hat that she may look her best. The
office girl spends her pennies on neat
neckwear that she may show those in
authority that she understands the
eternal fitness of things. Impressions,
impressions, all the world over, for
while the first glance does not mean
everything it means enough to keep
the most of us busy in order that We
may not be the losers thereby.
The woman who wants to own a
wardrobe that will make a good show
ing for small price need not be with
out one for lack of materials from
which to select. On the contrary, some
of the prettiest fabrics are the most
inexpensive and the smartest designs
may be seen in gowns that were built
for hard. every day wear.
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-18

the woman who gives both time and
attention to her toilette can manage on
wonderfully little and present a good
front in the bargain. If her closet is
destitute of a charming gown she calm
ly sits down and waits for a dull,
dreary day and then, arrayed in all
armor, sallies forth to war. And call
ing in ones cloudy weather togs on
dull, disagreeable day isn't a half-bad
secret to possess, by the way. At least
the dress is appropriate, and cheerful,
smiling face is all that is required to
complete decidedly fetching picture.
OF course, with such gowns there go
hats, and hats that are well worth
glancing at second time, too. There is
a splendid waterproof taffeta to be had
these days, and when it is fashioned OF
a dull red, or even black, trimmed with
a smart chou at the side, it adds more
than little to even the smartest of the
smart utility dresses. The brim of this
hat, by the way, is of the fioppy order,
and 1T is heavily stitched with silk,
either in the same color or to match the
rest of the costume.
The custom of wearing ones old
clothing when it looks like rain has
brought many person to grief. 1t is
bad in any case. It may be the part
of wisdom to save ones best and pret-
tiest, but one never feels entirely at
home in some shabby old thing that
has been ressurected from the depths
of the grab bag. If by any chance
the sun comes out and it is warm and
bright, 1t is decidedly uncomfortable
and annoying in the least to be found
in battered and tattered clothes and
even II it does rain, one never has the
satisfaction of being neat and TRIM

Cold Water and
Health

While the water is running in the tub
prepare for the slight shock of the first
plunge by taking long breaths at an
open window. Wrapped in a wool bath
gown, there will be no danger of catch
ing cold, and two or three minutes
long. slow inhaling and exhaling fresh
air will start the circulation so that
there is no hesitation about a cold wa
ter bath, rather a sense OF enjoyment
of it, But if at the very start you
should still be at all sensitive TO the
straight cold plunge, stand at the edge
of the tub. lean over and dash cold
water over the face, arms, neck cnest
and throat Drv thoroughly with
crash towel and plunge in first one leg
and then the other.
After a week Of this sort OF tempor-
izing you will be able TO take the
straight plunge. That is Of course II
the room is warm A cold bath in a
cold room may be fine herOism for
athletic boys, but it is more than likely
to prove dangerous to the average
woman who has not much power Of re-
action.
The daily tepid bath usually taken by
women in winter may be luxurious and
cleansing, but it is no substitute for
the health giving power Of the cold
water 1t is the sting Of the cold that
starts the blood cOursing through lungs
and heart, that warns the hands and
feet and sends a fine color to the
cheeks. A cold bath should be taken
quickly, always followed by a crash
towel rub and always in soft water.
Much Of the value of the cold bath is
lost If the water is hard. the pores are
clogged rather than opened, IT is i'm
possible to dry the skin quickly. and il

Where rainWater can be had nothing

stimulant to the cuticle, but in town
and city the water supply is artificial

Fortunately hard water is not an ir-
revocable misfortune. The worst min
eral water can be softened with pure
borax. Two tablespoonfuls Of pure
borax will soften a tub of water to
the mellowness OF rain water. And IN
addition to it's beneficial effects in the

Dull browns and impossible steel
grays are colors that are undeniably
serviceable, but also atrociously homely.
The girl who manages on very little
money need not feel that red pipings
here or dash Of crimson there are
denied her, and certainly no harm is
done if she puts on dashing leather
belt and stock to match and ventures
forth when the sky is a dull lead and
everything on earth has taken on a
forlorn, gray aspect.
Clever is the girl who consults her
mirror as to the most becoming color
and then wears it to the exclusion of
all others. Take red or blue, for in
stance. Both are solid tones and they
are always willing and ready to lend
themselves for all occasions. The
trotting length suit is blue, the crepe
de chine afternoon frock is blue, and
blue is the color Of the sole evening
gown. Belts, ribbons, hats, gloves and
the thousand and one frills and fur
bellows are of necessity blue, and there
never comes a time when any of them
fight and positively refuse to be worn
the same day.
The crepe and the point d'esprit are
fashioned to go over the same lining;
and who is ever the wiser? The dainty
hat, made in a picture type. is of a silk
braid trimmed with bit of foliage, and
it, as well, serves its double purpose.
In fact everything helps in this matter
of economy, and her ladyship is able to
dress appropriately without knowing
how she manages 1t herself.
The daintiest little hand frills help to
transform a plain suit into rather an
elaborate calling costume. OF course.
they are lovely when made of sheer
muslin and trimmed with lace, but,
alas and alack, they are not overly ser
viceable and were not intended for the
tub. But Dame Fashion fixed that part
of it by dressing UP yellow and cream
mulls, and they are not only fetching
when tucked and frilled, but are not
afraid of the wind and bad weather,
and come out of drenching rain quite
as good and as new as ever.
There is no use denying the fact that
