Don't crumple up your dish towels
Rinse and hang them in the sun.
Don't black a stove while 1t is hot
1t takes more backing and less polish.
Don't put damp towels and napkins

will mildew.
Don't put egg dishes into hot water
1t makes the egg adhere. Soak the
dishes first In cold water.
Don't put tin pans on the stove to
dry. They become heated, the solder
loosens and they soon leak.
Don't pour boiling water over china
packed in pan. It will crack by the
sudden contraction and expansion.
Don't put a greasy spoon on the
table. 1t leaves a stain which re-

WHEN GRANDMA WAS LITTLE.


''when grandma was little girl. she said.
with look so wise,
And with a thoughtful twinkle IN her violet
blue eyes.
"She used to wear long dresses, and long
pantalets SO queer.
All starched till they could stand alone
was funny. o my dear.
But that was a great long time you know.
So long, long. long ago.
"She used to sit as stin in church, and stih
as any mouse
(And grandma says they called the churches
then the Good Lords House).
She couldn't see the minister, the pew
backs were so high;
She couldn't go to sleep or cape. and didn't
dare to cry.
But that was great long time. you know,
So long, long. long ago.
"She couldn't run, and romp, and scream.
and jump, like me. or you.
Nor chatter at the table, as we always like
to do
She made low courtesies. like this, and had
such funny ways.
For children must be seen, not heard, they
taught her in those days.
But that was great long time. you know.
So long, long. long ago.
'"The grown folks were so horrid in that
old time, don't you think,
To treat little grandma so she hardly
dared to wink?
So now we must be kind to her. and try all
sorts OF ways
To make her happy, and forget those awful
still old days.
For that was a great long time. you know.
So long. long, long ago."

stock compa career, as far back as
1851
Hundreds of the older residents of
the city remember her as she was in
those days of more than half CEN
fury ago, and for many of these she
has been the only attraction that
would take them to the theaters dur
ing the last 25 years. One of these,
in commenting on the death of the
aged actress, said that while he did
not now approve of the theater as he
did in former years, he always made
an exception to his rule to remain
away from them when Mrs. Gilbert
was in the city. There were many Of
these older residents, some of whom
had seen Mrs. Gilbert make her debut
in stock company work in 1851, at
Powers theater on the night Of the
opening of her farewell engagement.
When she appeared before the ,urtain
at the close of the last act and recited
that old-fashioned epilogue which be-
gan with the lines:
Dear friends in front. the curtain must rot
fall
Until grateful woman says good.by to ali.
Just think Of all the kindLess that I've got
OF you'll
I'd like TO be the granny Of the lot of you.
there was not a dry eye among all
these old friends.
To the stage people. old and young,
Mrs. Gilbert was always Granny"
and they spoke of her with rever-
encs that showed their affection. She
had no blood relatives, the last of the
family, a son, having died several
years ago, but she needed none to be
truly mourned, for hers was family
that extended throughout all the
broad field of stageland.
She was SO years old the 2lst of last
October, and had been on the stage
since 1886, when she appeared as 9
ballet girl in England. She came to
America in 1s49, and though of inter-
national fame as an actress. this was
the first season that she played star
parts.

IN New York. for the purpose Of the
originators OF the Chicago scheme u
first. not TO take the people on the
streets, but TO make room on the
streets for the people.
Eventually Chicago street cars will
go under ground. but before they dis
appear the freight situation will be
cared for. and. in fact, the system for
handling the freight traffic of The city
is practically complete now, and the
newVsubway company recently organ
lied in the east comes into possession

Grafton
The New York subway cost $4,000
600 to build. The company that Is
back OF the Chicago subway has $50
100000 to put into the project. 1t
takes over company that has already
expended over $30,000.000 in building
more than 40 miles of tunnels for
freight traffic that are 40 feet below
the city streets, leaving plenty or
room between that and the surface for
the street car tunnels that are TO come
later.
Entirely different construction
methods are necessary In Chicago
from those employed in New York.
The subway Of the latter city was cut
through solid granite. Chicago. on
the other hand. Is builded upon a
marsh, with bedrock from so to 60
feet below the street surface. The
construction of subway here means
first a solution of the engineering
problem of providing for the safety
of the great buildings that line the
streets under which 1t must pass.
With that problem solved, the actual
construction of the tunnels will be a
much easier matter than 1t was in
New York. But the first problem is
not an easy one to solve.

in the city a sort of second and third
generation class, whose ambition is
to find a method Of dispensing the for
tunes left them by industrious ances-
tors, whose industry builded Chicago
along with their personal fortunes.
Chicago society Of the past has not
been given greatly to fads. In fact,
when Chicago society looked to such
women as Mrs. P. ID. Armour, or Mrs.
GeoreeM. Pullman, as its leaders, 1t
was a society In which ostentatlon flg-

frivolities of the east are being i'm
ported and copied. This new element
has not yet been guilty Of monkey

The latest social fad Of the city is
the befriending Of homeless cats and
dogs. Ut Is fad the Humane society
will undoubtedly approve OF, but that
the patronesses of the new charity"
are more interested In what amount OF
space the newspapers will give to 1t
than In the number Of cats and dogs
saved, goes without saying.

tlative the friendless animals owe
their good fortune. She started the
fad by endowing ten cages in local
veterinary hospital. and others, anx-
ious to court favor with the popular
society leader. have quickly followed
her example. One society woman, IN
speaking of the charity" referred
feelingly to the large numbers OF poor
little dogs and cats that would be
saved from starvation, and added that

nomination OF Senator Fairbanks for
the vice presidency. He said;
The republican party held its first
convention in that city of western
Pennsylvania, which in energy. enter
prise and wealth rivals the great mart
upon the shores OF the inland lakes
wherein. after the lapse of nearly half
n century will meet today. Pennsylva-
MIA may well claim to be teh leader
among republican states. The principles
which are embodied in the platform OF
the party as we have adopted 1t are
the result OF the teachings Of her
scolars and statesmen. Her majorities
for the nominees Of that party are
greater and more certain than those of
any other state She alone of all the
states since the election of Abraham
Lincoln in 1860, has never given an
electoral vote against a candidate OF
the republican party for the presi-
dency. She is unselfish in her devo-
ton. During the period of a half-cen-
tury that has gone, no son of hers
has been either president or vice nresl-
dent. She has been satisfied, like the
earl of warwick, to be the maker of
kings. She has been content that she
should have regard to the success Of
the party and the welfare of the coun-
try rather than to the personal inter-
ests of her citizens.

mountains of Pennsylvania, roll west

Of Pennsylvania turns with kindred
feeling toward the state which has pro-
