The Warlike President,

eff" said Theodore Roosevelt, no
longer ago than 1899. 1--WE ever grow to
regard peace as permanent condition
and feel that we can afford to let the
keen fearless, virile qualities of heart
and mind and body sink into disuse
we will prepare the way for inevitable
and shameful disaster in the future. :"
We have not had war since 1898.
Is it not about time for another in
order to keep the virile qualities from
sinking into disuse? Can a president
who has such contempt for what he
calls "the weakling or the coward who
babbles of peace" submit to four years
more of peace? The people who doomed
their stocks and bonds because of the
elections result may before the second
term of Roosevelt expires find an answer
to this question which will have very
different effect on Wall street quota
tions.-Louisville Courier Journal.

NEGLECT LITTLE THINGS.
In Dressing Women Sometimes Do
Not Give Sufficient Attention
to the Details.

The sooner some womeniwho are lack
ing money lose the idea that it requiresa
fortune to dress well, or takes all OF
ones time, the sooner will badly dressed
women begin to grow less, says an au-
thority.
For the truth is, while some money is
essential, and much desirable, the most
necessary of all things is care, and, sad
to relate, comparatively little is given.
Without care the smartest gown that
was ever turned out by Partisan de-
signer is ruined in the wearing, for if Il
is not properly put on and adjusted its
distinction is gone, and it looks dowdy.
And, strange to say, both English and
American women, as rule, are careless
in this particular. A woman cannot look
well unless she is particular in detail, and
to dress without occasionally using
hand mirror should be regarded as sar-
torial crime.
Notice the women you see in the street
and indoors and observe how few have
their collars properly fastened. This in
AeoSll 10 tlltlol, Dul ll6 tIl6CG upOu lu6
waist is important, and a collar awry
means a gown spoiled. Yet it is rarely
fastened so that both edges are alike top
and bottom, for the reason that the clos
ing is in the back, and a woman does not
take the trouble to use a hand glass to
see If it has been done correctly. The
same applies to her belt in back, and
while this has been commented upon
many times, the same slovenly habit
seems to prevail. In justice to women,
few belts and waists now are separated
by yawning gaps, but the fullness of
shirt waists is rarely in the middle,
though this might easily be effected.
A sure way of having this in order is
by hooks and eyes. Two hooks should
be on the back of the skirt and two eyes
on the waist to correspond. Besides this,
on the waist there should be tape to
serve as a belt that is brought around
over the fullness of the waist and tied
in the middle under hook on the front
of the corsets that should be placed two
inches below the waist line. Tying this
tape firmly will keep the fullness in the
middle of the back in its right place
without moving, Nothing could be sim
pier than this.
Another bit of carelessness that women
are prone tots with their neckties. When
these are wide and are worn twice around
the neck in stock fashion they require
fancy pins in the middle of the back.
Otherwise they do not stay in place and
the result is horrid
The way hooks are allowed to half
hang on is disgraceful, and alas! COM
mon. Every woman admits that hook
will not do its duty unless it is sewed
under the hook as well as through the
little holes made for the purpose. But
the strain on the thread under the hooks
is very great and they speedily rip, max
ing firmness impossible. Yet you will
see these hanging on placats, and the
daintiest trimmings on waists spoiled in
effect because just few stitches are
lacking under the hook.

showing he had the best courage of
his class, and their courage is of the
kind that is even better than that of
soldiers.
The engine was fairly humming now,
and the steam was Sizing out of her,
hot and dry; insistent upon having its
energies exerted to the utmost.
I'm ready if you are cried Long,
slamming the doors Of the furnace,
whose fires roared like the coming of
a storm.
Moore took long look ahead, and
swept his eyes around the waters that
were closing in on him. He tried his
valves and cocks and saw that every
thing was in good shape, and with a
word to his cab mate he slowly opened
the throttle for the race before him.
The engine responded to the impulse
of the steam as gradually it forced a
way through the steel vitals, tugging
and straining for moment and gather
ms speed as the throttle opened wider.
She seemed to be stiff at first from long
standing, but as she warmed up she
loosened her joints and at the end of
the first mile she was whirling along
with the throttle wide open. The race
for life against the insatiate flood had
begun and Jim Moore sat with eyes
straining forward over his engine as
driver looks over his horse, flying
through the last quarter with the wire
just ahead. Twenty miles meant only
as many minutes under ordinary cir
cumstances, but these were not ordinary
circumstances. A hundred lives and
great engine and train of cars were in
the engineers keeping, and an angry
flood, eager to destroy, was creeping
swiftly upon him to take them to itself.
Five miles out into the rushing sea
and as the last car Of the train rolled
across trestle it swayed under the
contending forces of weight and water
and fell into the torrent, leaving in an
instant gap where an instant before
the train had been. On they sped, and
the bridge over the river was in sight.
The water had risen to the tracks be-
tween the train and the bridge, and
Moore hesitated. 1t was as If he were
plunglng into the very river itself, for
there was a wide spread of water In

HOW TO OBSERVE THE DAY
Make Your Thanksgiving Practical
by Making Others Happy
How to Do It.

One way, and most common-sense
one, is by paying bills, certainly the
small ones, and mare especially those
that are owing tC working people, or
to clearinghouse keepers butchers,
bakers, grocers oy landlords. Money
kept in circulation will Keep many
wants supplied, many little holes
stopped, and if Anyone must wait, it
should ordinarily lie the man of means,
the one who can pest afford to do SO,
not those who depend on the days in
come to supply she daily needs, says
the New York Observer.
During little disappointment in her
first housekeeping arrangements, a
young housekeepsr found it necessary
to send out her washing instead of hav-
ing it done in the house as she had
been doing. 1t then became one of her
unwritten laws to pay when the clothes
were brought hone. At one time they
came a day earllsr in the week than
usual, and the two dollars were not
ready. AS it was Thanksgiving day,
the housekeeper, who was giving a din
ner, tried to get a larger bill changed
by one of her guests. AS she could not,
she told the child that she would stop,
with the money, on her way to the
Office the next day. .....
81 shall never forget the expression
on that child's face" said the lady in
referring to the incident, ''and
thought that knew what it meant. EX-
cusing myself from my guests, temper
arily, I rushed ont to the nearest gro
Gerry, bought some trihing article that
I needed, and almost ran with the
change, the six blocks to the home
where my laundress lived to find her
sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner
of bread and water for the children
with little pot of tea added for the
mother You can hardly imagine the
good feeling that was mine, as l re-
turned to my own festivities, when
knew how much of comfort the honest
pay for honest work must have brought
to that humble home"
Hire all the work done that can pos
sibly be afforded, and then see that the
pay is prompt, if you would be prac-
tical in making Thanksgiving day a
happy one among the unfortunate. See
to it, too. that you do not turn deaf
ear to all who ask for employment
when your own wants are supplied, for
the need of labor is greater than the
need of charity, and you may be able
to suggest work to others where you
cannot relieve in person, and so put the
destitute and dependent in the way of
self-helpfulness, which is the greatest
OF all charities.

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS
The Fungoid Food Is at It's Best When
Prepared in Simple
Manner.

A correspondent asks for easy ways
at their best when cooked simply, and
it is worth while knowing how to use
them, says the New York Evening
Post. A pound of large mushrooms
will make an entree for dinner for
six people. Wash the mushrooms and
pare off the outer skin with silver
knife. Cut off the stem and cut the
mushrooms in two pieces. Place them
in china dish and pour over them
this marinate: A tablespoonful of olivs
oil, pinch of salt and the same OK
white pepper. Let the mushrooms lie
in the marinate for full hour. Take
them out and saute-there will be al
most enough oil in the dish without
the addition of more-for six minutes.
Make sauce of three tablespoonfuls
of oil, teaspoonful of finely minced
parsley, the same quantity Of chopped
chives and little chopped onion. Let
this cook for five minutes and pour
over the mushrooms just before serv-
ing.
A simpler saute still is possible.
Pare, but do not cut the mushrooms.
Place them in a dish and sprinkle
little salt over them. Take them out
after half an hour and saute and but
ter. Cover the pan and let the mush-
rooms cook for about ten minutes,
shaking them to prevent burning. Add
to the liquor left in the bowl salt, pep
per, the juice of half lemon and
little chopped parsley. Pour this in
the pan with the mushrooms, shake
up well and serve on sippets of toast.
This Is also good chatting dish recipe.
Broiled mushrooms are delicious and
quite easy to prepare. Pare the mush-
rooms, wash and dry thoroughly.
Sprinkle them with pepper, salt and
tablespoonful of oil. Place in wire
broiler and cook over clear flame for
four minutes to side. Serve on toast
with maitre d'hotel butter.

fore he condescended to accept a place
on the ticket at Chicago.-Atlanta Con-

If the democratic party had not
survived so many crushing defeats, one
might doubt whether it could possibly

So good a republican authority
as the Chicago Tribune says that in
Delaware, under the Roosevelt-Addicks
alliance, the current price Of votes was
$40 apiece. This beats the 40 acres and

the old times bought negro votes, for
the Roosevelt-Addicks combine actual

We shall live right on, doing the
things we have done before and de-

ward to Thanksgiving and Christmas
and glad New Year, all as before. 1t
was only an election.--Utica Observer.
Commenting upon Mr.. Bryan's
call for the reorganization of the re-
organizers, the Philadelphia Ledger
(ind. dem.) says: There can be no
doubt that this proclamation from Ne
braska points to new line of cleavage,
the new alignment which of necessity
must follow the overwhelming repub-
lican victory. 1t was after Monroes
unanimous reelection that the then re-
publican party became two parties
conservative AMI radical. Under one
form or another, these are the two con-
tending impulses in all political his

Aside from this pleasing per.
sonal impression, which will 60 with
Mr.. Parker into retirement, he will be
long remembered as candidate who
stoutly advocated principles, whether
men would hear or forbear. He stood
for political truths which ought to be
popular, if they are not, just yet; and
when they come to fruition-when the
corrupt alliance between the tariff BEN
eficiaries and the republican party is
broken up; when We recover the dec
laration of independence and apply its
principles to the Filipinos-Judg
