OWNING A HOME.
Every Man Ought to Save So as to Be
Able to Buy Home Be It
Ever So Humble

There is nothing in all this world more
pathetic than homeless man. There
is nothing so much to be dreaded as the
approach of old age and with no home
to go to except that provided by public
aid. The only way to provide against
a misfortune of this kind is to get a
home during the period of life when you
are earning enough to make it possible
for you to lay aside funds from your
earnings for this purpose.
To do this may mean much self-denial
and hard. rigid economy. but it will pay
n the end. 1t should be borne in mind
that the only way to accumulate any
thing in this world is by industry and
economy, says tie Home Finder. The
average man does not get anything in
any other way. 1t is the exception. not
the rule, for men to make money and to
accumulate property without hard work
and at the same time being very careful
as to how they spend their earnings.
Thrift and industry are the most essen
tial factors in starting men right and
in keeping them on the road to prosper
ity. once they are started along these
lines
1t is not wise either to put on the day
OF beginning to save money with which
to buy home. A man may pay rent for
ten years and at the end of that period
have nothing to show for all that he has
paid out but a bundle of receipts, which
are worth nothing except to show that
had he been able to have applied all that
money towards the purchase Of home
he. no doubt. would have owned It freol
and clear e III debt

TEACH THE BOYS THAT.

Manners go long way in helping
along in this world. Remember that
A gentleman never sits down or re-
mains seated while lady stands.
When attending an evening enter
tainment a young girl should be pro-
vided with chaperon.
In a narrow passage, hallway or on
the stairs, gentleman always stands
aside to let lady pass.
Letters of introduction are never
sealed. 1t is courtesy due the bearer
that he may know what the letter con-
tains.
A gentleman always has the prefix
Mr." engraved on his visiting card.
His business address is never used ON
such card.
A gentleman acting as an escort need
not present his arm unless the path pre-
sents unusual obstacles or the lady is
elderly or an invalid.
The dinner napkin is partially un-
folded and placed across the knees At
the close of the meal it is placed un-
folded by the side of the plate.

HINTS FOR THE WOMEN.
A Variety of ssDon,ts, which 1t May
BE Well for Their LoOlSA
to Heed.

Don't think you are too old to do
this, too old to do that You are al
ways as young as you feel. People
grow old by thinking themselves old.
says the Washington Star.
Don't think you are too old to be
young. Live young life, which has
tendency to keep up youthful looks.
Woman, while not being kittenish, or
bud" need never be old in her
ways.
Don't think that you are forbidden
to think of your looks, or to attend
to your appearance, because you happen
to be 80. Balzac has said that wom-
an of 80 is at her most fascinating
and dangerous age-that is, dangerous
to the hearts of men.
Don't make a mistake about it
to be young, to be in the first, faint
flush of youth is no longer the fash
cessful society woman is between 30
and 40.
Don't, however, go on the house
top and proclaim to the world that
you are 40 and glad of it.
Don't attempt repair and preserva-
ton of beauty with paints. powders
and wells. Take plenty of exercise,
stand erect, sit erect. When you
speak let your voice possess volume
and energy. When you think think
freshly
Don't say you haven't time for the
afternoons "forty winks." Take it,
| and your renewed strength will show
in freshened complexion. A half
hours nap after luncheon will do more
to eradicate wrinkles than all the
| beautifiers in the world.
Don't think that a life of ease and
| luxury is essential to preserve youth
| full, delicate looks A certain amount
| of work and exercise is necessary to
keep the muscles firm and elastic and
the flesh hard.
| Don't let go of love or love of ro-
| nance. They are amulets against
| wrinkles. Not all of the worlds hon.
age is poured at the feet of girlhood
Don't fancy that the dew of youth,
with its complexion of roses, is alone
| able to inspire passion. A woman's
| best and richest years are from 36 to
40. The old saw about Sweet sixteen
is exploded.
Don't be glum if you want to be
young. Dance and sing and, above all,
| laugh. Ride, drive, row, swim and walk
a mile-or make it three-daily. Keep
your heart young and thus defy Fa-
| Their Time.
Don't belong to the "old folks" and
nod through the evening hours be-
cause your boy is at college.
| Don't be afraid that some one will
say, why, she goes about like a
young grill" If you feel light and easy
in motion, why be staid, noping, ar
tificial because you are supposed to be
| SO, being no longer young?
| Don't be envious or disheartened OF
impatient. Those evil habits make ug-
| ly lines in the face. Do gentle, kind
generous things without thought of re-
| turn.
| Don't think there is intense respect
ability in being rather ugly because
you are old. No old person has right
to be ugly. She has had all her life in
| which to grow beautiful

The Appeal., 1905-03-25

The danger to the accused in
case in which prejudiced judge sits,
and the evidence is all circumstantlal,
is illustrated in the records OF a case
in London in which there was no evil
dence to support the charge against
the accused except that bearing an
opportunity to have committed the
crime
The defendant was Eliza Tanning,
81. gentle, virtuous and beautiful, an
only daughter of respectable parents.
She was employed as a servant in the
family Of stationer in Chancery
lane, and in March, 1915, was COM
mitted to Newgate on the charge of
administering poison to her master
and mistress in dumplings made by
her.
The fact that she also had eaten
of the dumplings and had been made
i'll by them, had no weight with the
Judge: also that she had made no
effort to conceal evidence in the pres
ence of the poison in the dish in
which the dumplings were served, it
having remained unwashed until ex-
amined by chemist, who found ar
senic in it in large quantities. Testi-
mony favorable to the girl was ex-
cluded, the jury found her guilty and
she was condemned to death.

Immense Value.

Robe Worn by Savage Woman Is Of
Immense Value.
Mr. L. c.. Reisner of Lancaster, Pa,
is the owner of an Indian woman's
buckskin dress trimmed with elk teeth,
which is believed to be one of the
most valuable garments of this sort
now in existence. Over 1,5O0 elk tusks
cover this squaw dress, and most of
them are good specimens. They rep
resent, of course, the death of not less
than $50 bull elks. It is not known
where all the elks were obtained. The
garment was finished in 1874, and was
used as state r0bs for the wife of
Little Boy, chief of the Kiowa tribe. It
became one of the state robes of that
people, and after the death OF the
chiefs wife, was worn by Kiowa Anna,
reigning belle of the tribe. It was
lost by the Kiowas in skirmish with
another tribe Chief Lone Wolf, its
next owner, gave it to his niece, Ida
Lone Wolf, who sold it 1hree years
ago to an Indian collector, who in
turn sold it to Mr.. Reisner. There is
perhaps no ball dress of America
which has longer and more authen-
tic history, nor is there any ball dress
of a white woman which has more
value than this savage woman's robe.

was, what would her father think OF

"Truly, it was not likely that her
father would consent. He was a rich

quite preclude him from ever making

WHERE STEVENSON GOT IDEA.
"Dr. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun'
dation in Real Life.

"Dr. JekylI and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation in Real Life.
Among weird fiction there are few
novels to compete with "The Strange
Story Of DR.. Jekyn and Mr.. HYDE" and
the story of it's inception is almost as
strange as the work itself.
Stevenson, it appears, had dealings
with man named Samuel Creggan,
and did not like him. "He's man
who trades on the Samuel averred
the novelist. '"He receives you with
Samuels smile on his face; but every
now and thea you catch a glimpse of
the Creggan peeping out like white
ferret Creggan's the real man; Sam
uel's only superficial"
This was what gave Stevenson the
first idea for the dual personality of
Jekyll and Hyde, but he did not begin
to write. ~. ~: e r. :.
One night, however, Mrs. Stevenson,
weakened by cries of horror from her
husband, and thinking that he had a
nightmare, aroused him. He was quite
angry. 7-F.,a - -.

whether the first draft took him 80
