Better Lose DeCenfIV.

"Better would it be-" says the Star,
Missouri in the next election than to gain
for the state, and especially for the re-
publicans OF the state, the general repu-
tation Of opposition to the marvellous
work done by Mr. Folk in regard to good
government. When it is further c1nsid-
cred that it is absolutely impossible for
the republicans to make any headway on
such tack, the foliy Of this line of bat
tie becomes more piain.''
1t IS :. sensible utterance. The Star
thus puts itself in line with the opinion
, OF high-class republican journalism
everywhere. Reputable republican
organs, from the Chicago Tribune down,
have been for several weeks iamenting
the stand which their party has taken in
| Missouri and denouncing the political
tricksters and pie hucksters responsible
| therefor.
1t is better to lose decently than in
decently.
| Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion of Mlssouri's
| republican leadership and its attempts is
! of kind with the Star's-that the party
everywhere is hurt by its Missouri fight
| on Folk. Senator Fairbanks and Secre-
tary Shaw were evidently OF a like opin-
ion, for they ignored the Walbridge can
didacy altogether upon their recent Mis-
souri, visits in Mr.. Roosevelt's behalf.
The fight on Folk ad nauseam waged
by the unholy alliance i tho most disas-
trous political enterprise ever undertaken
in this, or perhaps, in any state, and il
; is the simple fact that good republicans
are ashamed. 1t makes good republicans
uncomfortable, tho their rank anC

Wanted,

By the Missouri republicans, some
plausible issue oy which to defeat
the democratic party. None but a
new issue will be considered. The
looted school fund, the corrupt
state government, the corporation
controlled state board of equaliza-
ton, the Nesbit law and criticism
of the Supreme court having been
tried and absolutely rejected by the
people time and again, cannot be
entertained again. Only something
new and attractive will answer.
The democratic platform for
good government having obtained
such unprecedented possession OF
| the masses from one end ofthe state
to the otheE, the republican party Is
placed in dire straits and constrain
ed to thus advertise broadcast fol
some means of rescue ont of its dis
tress.-Jef efferson City Tribune.

Aunt Samantha Volunteers a few
Don'ts and Dos to Parents.

Don't tell your children little
falsehoods and then expect them
to grow up with confidence in hu-
man nature. Always be sincere
with them, and keep your promises
and obligations to them the same
as you do to other people. fiat any
time you should find it impossible
to fulfill your promises to them, ex-
plain to them the reason, and your
pains will be rewarded by their
trust in your integrity and their
reverence for your memory in fu-
ture years.
Don't let your conscience become
so bloated that You regard it a sin
to treat your children to the happy,
innocent little deceptions of Santa
Claus, Rabbit eggs &c. When they
get little older and wiser they
will see thru your little trick of
avarice. We knew man once who
could not spare few dimes to buy
his children Christmas presents, but
he bought "cowhide'' to whip
them with, when there were switch
es growing all around his house
strong enough to whip mule or a
dog with, which he could have got
ten without money and without
price. But they would not have
stricken terror to the hearts of his
children.
Don't "sparee the rod and spoi
child. However, in your great
zeal to carry the command of the
wise man-who himself, made SOM
very serious mistakes in the gov

don't fail to note the many express
| ions Of tenderness extended toward
the sweet little ones by one whom
we should ever make our great
model and example.
IT You give your boy Il crippled
| calf or colt ''if he can cure it."
DON'T Oh, for mercy's sake! don't
after it has grown well and sleek
under his care-sell 1t and pocket
the money. This is so
common that we cease to wonder
at it, yet it Is nothing more nor less
than a downright steal. If you
must steal, let it be from anybody
else rather than your own children.
Perhaps other people would not be
surprised at your dishonesty, but
the child of your heart will be
shocked and discouraged beyond
measure and whole lot of his con-
fidence in you gone out forever.
Guard his trust in you as Il sacred
thing, and when You are old, and he
a man, out in the world meeting its
temptations, you will not regret it.
Don't raise family up without
their ever hearing a prayer, Il chap
ter read from the Bible or song,
sung with any spirited meaning-
IN the home. 1t is true you may
shift all the spiritual training of
your family onto the church, the
Sunday school and what they may
pick up among your more pious
neighbors, but remember: there is
nothing like Il religious home train
ing to influence ones life, for all
time. 1t has been the restraining
power that has held back many q
girl and young man from ruin and
strengthened them to meet and
overcome many obstacles and
temptations.
Parents whom you undertake to
teach your children some new
work, do be patient, and don't ex-
pect them to become expert at once
and walk right off with it like an
old experienced hand. Some chill
dren, while anxious to learn, are
not naturally quick and have seen
some wretched mistakes made thru
the violence Of temper and impa
ticnce of parents, in teaching their
children the first lessons of some
unaccustomed task.
Don't punish your children for
accidents, when it would be plain
to you, if you could only control
your temper long enough to see,
that it was an accident, unavoida-
BILE and which you might have
committed yourself.
When child is punished for an
accident for which it is not morally |
responsible, the injustice of the
punishment ranklcs in his memory
long after the incident is forgotten
by Others.
Children naturally look upon
their parents az examples and mod |
els Of excellence, therefore it be- |
hooves parents to be most circum-
spect in their daily walks, and |
make as few mistakes as possible. |
Your Aunt Samantha has been a |
close observer thru a long career. |
These remarks of hers are founded |
on facts. She could call your at
tentlon 10 many more. She means |
it in kindness. She would have |
you avoid the mistakes which have |

that the home influence is no small |

ter, but is as far reaching in its re-
suits as eternity.

HIS Strength and All Round Ab7lf9y
Sail the Household Smoothly.
In these days OF dissatisfaction with
meet the problem. There is q time to
stop this condition Of affairs, end the
time is at hand. It is an evident fact
that servants must be forthcoming and
not only servants, but satisfactory
servants There is no use In dillydally-
ing any longer.
Men can be taught how to 90 any
kind Of work, and a green man is no
more difficult to teach than is q green
girl, but when it is possible 1t is always
better TO hire man that has had some
experience in housework Sometimes
an aged man can be secured for very
low wages He may be slow Ia his
movements, and yet because Of his ex-
perience he will accomplish great
amount of work. Sometimes there Is q
poor man who has tried and failed to
get the employment he desires, but
who will take anything he can get.
One such did the main part OF the
work In d three story and basement
house, including the washing, for
family Of three ladies and one young
man. Man is especially valuable ct the
house cleaning period. The ease with
which he takes down bedsteads and
puts them UP again, the swiftness with
which he carries mattresses to the
yard and the common sense way in
which he beats and suns them appeal
to any careful housewife, as does also
the mans thorough beating Of the rugs
and carpets, his polishing Of the win
doWs, no matter how difficult they are
TO reach or how heavy to lift.
A woman house cleaner, no matter
how willing she may be, could not
compete with such man, for physical
ly she is not strong enough to do what
Is denOmtnated heavy work. and when
she makes an attempt at heavy work
the usual result Is unsatisfactory. Men
do not mind the taking down Of stoves
or carrying coal to the top of a house,
whereas such work to the ordinary
serving woman brings severely sharp
pain to her side or back.
Therefore, If only for consciencess
sake, employ a man, for If Bridget goes
to the hospital after her work is over
the blame must BE put where it be-
longs
Manservants have larger aptitude
for work than have women. It is rare
when they say of anything, THAT is
not my work." and because they are
SO competent, because of their all
around ability, they make themselves
more valuable. Even catering and
marketing may satisfactorily be left
to the man at the helm. And why
should woman labor under RESPONSE
bf1fty that she can set aside?
Shift responsibility when you can
and keep the care lines out of your
face. Secure the most experienced man
that you can afford. Put that man at
the helm, and you will have more
hours Of ease than you have hitherto
imagined were possible. A trust
worthy man can steer any home safely
into the most comfortable harbOr.--

WEDDING TALK.

Some Happy Notions AE*12a4 ERs4arD
Points of the Home Wadd3Rg.
For home wedding, especially if
the bride wears a white gown, a green
and white color scheme is charming
and not difficult to arrange. However,
some brunettes, to whom white is not
becoming and who wish to look their
best on their wedding day, have chosen
pink setting for their bridal, says the
Boston Cooking School Magazine in a
short chat on wedding matters.
For an early June wedding, in To-
calities where it is abundant, the wild
pink azalea makes a most effective
decoration. Garden roses are seldom
available until the very last Of the
month, but when they are plentiful
nothing finer can be desired A bride
may now wear or carry any fayorite
flower, the old time prestige of the
orange blossom having in some meas
ure departed
It was q happy thought which gave
mothers a place In the bridal process
sion. Fathers, sisters and brothers all
had their duties in connection with the
event. but ofttimes the mother was
left alone during the ceremony. Now
one or both mothers form graceful
and dignifed part of the procession.
A pretty idea for a home wedding is
to have the young guests surround the
couple during the ceremony. This
saves choosing bridesmaids, which is
sometimes a difficult thing to do when
one has many friends and relatives
Every prospective bride loves to
show her rousseau to a few close
friends This Is sometimes made the
occasion Of small tea or gathering
and gives an opportunity for bestow-
ing any small and dainty gift This is
much better way than the once pop
ular shower which is now thought not
quite good form.
The refreshments for q home we'd
ding may be passed or they may be
through the house, and this is by far
the most comfortable way If conven-
lent, tables with twenty-four inch tops
may be hired for the occasion These
may be covered with large napkins of
dinner size If the hostess has not suf-
fc1ent number Of embroidered or
drawn work cloths.
For the wedding reception in sum-
mer nothing more is required than ice
cool drinks, small cakes and sandwich
es. Of course If one chooses a salad
may be added, accompanied with thin
cut bread and butter or waters, Care
full attention to all the small details
will mark the perfection Of the enter
tainment and add much to the comfort
Of the guests.

SPECIAL SHELVES FOB BOUND MAGAZINES
will be freer and more generous dis
tribution of books through all the diff
ferent rooms, says the Delineator in
Offering some hints in this direction.
In one home the books make a charac-
teristic part Of the furnishings through
out the house. They meet one in the
front hall and again in all the living
rooms and bedrooms, and on each stair
way and landing are more books fitted
along the wall, giving an atmosphere
unique, delightful and satisfying.
In establishing the books throughout
the house no conventional arrangement
is as good as that which is originated
to meet the special requirements of the
household. A corner IN the living room
may be reserved for g. revolving book
case, in which the heavier encyclope-
dias and reference volumes are com
pactly brought together. A large die
tionary laid on a steel frame where the
pages may be opened without lifting is
the best way to hold this useful family
friend
If magazines are bound in half year
" volumes a set Of shelves may be
built and space found along the wall
Of the hallway for them. The second
illustration shows a bookcase made by
home talent very simply and with lit
tie expense, but answering well for a
magazine holder. It Is made of pine
boards and painted the color of the
woodwork against which it stands.
The case is four and one-half feet high
and three feet long. The shelves are
eight inches deep and high enough to
accommodate the magazines in bound
form. There is no back TO these
shelves, and they are light in weight
and can be easily moved about when
cleaning days come around Any long
wall space is available for holding
bOokshelyes. If these are made with
out middle support the weight of the
books Will cause the shelves to sag in
the middle.
An original device for utilizing
closed chimney is seen In the fourth
illustration, where three small shelves
are fitted together below the mantel
The base of the booksheIves is Iettered
in burnt work with the motto, Books
Are True Friends embellished with
a flowing design.
The decorative effect Of the bindings
Of books, with their variety of colors,
