The subject which is just now
attracting the attention and occupy
ing the thoughts of all men PROM
inent in public life, as we'll as a
large share of the general public, is
"Who will the President select to
succeed John Hay as Secretary of
State3 Just now it looks as if
former Secretary Of War Root
would be the man and doubtless he
is one Of the most capable of the
men prominent in the Republican
party. Moreover, it would be a
source of rejoicing TO the railroads
to have Mr.. Root selected for a
seat at the President S cabinet table,
for they have not forgotten that the
first case Mr., Root took when he
went out of the cabinet was that of
Northern Securities Company, when
he became, for the consideration of
$Ioo, 900, the attorney for J. P.
Morgan and J. J. Hill. With Mr..

Canada thistles are great pest
to farm land. In July the plant is
in full bloom aud if not cut down
the seed will ripen aud be carried
far and wide, causing much annoy
ance. The law requires all land
owners to cut the thistles in July
If they are neglected it is the duty
of the constables to go and cut the
weeds and collect from the property
owners a nice fee. For that reason
look after your crop of Canada
thistles at once.

When the President was making
his famous address TO the alumni OF
Harvard University. he said Nov,
the great lawyer who employs his
talent and his learning in the high
ly remme-atve task of enabling a
very wealthy client to override or
circumvent the law is doing all
that in him lied to encourage the
growth of this country OF a spirit
Of dumb anger against all laws and
of disbelief in their efficiency"
Was not that precisely what Mr.
Root did when he attempted to de-
feat the government prosecution
of the Hill Morgan Merger trust
and when, little later, he came to
Washington to defend before the
Supreme Court the street railway
corporations of New York who had
for years refused to pay the taxes
on their franchises, taxes assessed
under law the passage of which
was secured by Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was governor Of New York, un-
til the corporations owed the state
Of New York approximately S25,-
900, 900? Probably the President
has forgotten all about his remarks
at Harvard, and it is exceedingly
rude of the writer to remember
them.

BROCADE BOoKSTAND.

have one whole design in the middle of
the back. Cover the three cardboard
pieces on both sides and finish off at
the edges with fairly thick gold or
silk roll braid. The side pieces are
sewed firmly to the back and the Joins
| hidden by the braid. The wooden bot
tom must be also covered with brocade
and glued strongly into the cardboard.
Four little gilt knobs stuck underneath
serve to raise the stand from the table
on which it rests.
BOokstands suitable for miniature vol
umes of poems and plays, so fashion
able nowadays, can be contrived from
small pieces Of brocade covered card
board. These measure about five
inches and half high and have
curved back and side pieces. Here
again the length is determined by the
number of books intended for the
stand. These little stands are charm
ing when made as shown in the sketch
and fixed two together, back to back.
Book blocks are most useful. These
consist of heavy shaped pieces of wood
covered with brocade, and they are
quite Indispensable in keeping any
number Of books together on the table.
They cost very little to make. and if
the brocade is well stretched over the
wood and nailed down with tiny up-
holsterer's tacks there is no danger of
the material wrinkling and spelling the
effect
Tapestry is just as pretty a covering
as Is brocade for these book racks.
Small brocade envelopes" are most
handsome appendages for the writing
table and are made in cardboard COW
cred with brocade and lined with satin,
SILK or sarcenet. The back and wallet
shaped flap piece are cut in one piece
and the front separately. When the
two pieces have been covered and lined,
insert piece of satin ribbon about two
inches wide inside round the sides and
bottom. This will allow the brocade
envelope to expand and hold a fair
quantity Of envelopes or loose paper.
The brocade is finished with an edging
or nat gold braid, which secures the
Zap in the middle. These handy en-
Veiope holders can be made in all the

cases. Those with heads silhouetted in
black water color paints on a back
ground of colored linen, with black
headed pins stuck around the edges,
make mighty useful and acceptable
gifts.
A bureau basket fashioned like one
of the collapSible wastebaskets in min
iature is pretty trifle. 1t is not more
than three inches high, and both sides
and base are made of silk finished sep
arately and Joined with narrow rib
bons. The basket is left entirely empty
or is partly filled with tape measure,
scissors, thimble and emery. On one
side outside is pocket gathered on
an elastic. On another is a fat pin
cushion and third has a needlebook.
The fourth is plain so that the basket
may be set fiat against the back of bu-
reau or dressing table.
The handkerchief case seen in one of
the cuts is a dainty affair evolved
from a cardboard box covered with
embroidered strips finished top and
bottom with putting of silk. Across
the lid diagonally is stretched a piece
of wide satin ribbon with a pretty bow
on each end.

NeedIecase Ideas


Needlecases are such stupid. old
maidish affairs, as rule, and yet such
necessary things, that an idea invented
the other day is well worth recording
for the benefit of the Christmas pres
ent maker.
A piece of Powered ribbon was used.
lined With fine white flannel, just like
the pin cases with which every travel
err is provided The management of
the needles is the unusuaIspart. Every
needles-and there were dozens of them
was threaded, stuck in and its thread
neatly wound around it.
Most of the needles were threaded
with white cotton and black silk, but
almost every color was represented
as well, and, the original one being
for girl who wore tan and red most
OF all, goodly supply of those two
col0rs was included
Of course there was eyery sort of
needle, from the tiniest of glove needles
10 shoe and darning needles. each
threaded with its proper kind.

the ribbons TO the cardboard wherever
they cross each other with brass draw
ing pins or strong paper fasteners. If
the latter are used, it will be necessary
to pierce holes for them with a small
stiietto or sharp penknife. -
The photographs are slipped through
between the ribbons which hold them
in place, and about forty or fifty can
be disposed of in this manner. The rack
forms an attractive feature in a mans
room when hung on the wall. or it may
be used TO conceal the back Of piano
and be draped round with pongee silk.

small TO be an item of much expense
The collar may be made for 81, and
your true needlewoman revels in plac-
ing each perfect stitch. The design is
a French one carried out in broderie
anglaise and all over embroidery 1t
is cut in three sections. A design of
morning glories is drawn in each Sec
ton and worked with mercerized white
cotton in satin stitch. Between this
flower pattern are punches of berries
done in eyelet work. The entire collar
is buttonholed around.
Chemisettes and collar and cuff sets.
with cuffs deeper than ever, are be-
ing made now for Christmas giving.
Richelieu work, which is just button
holing and cutting out for a design
with the too open spaces held firm by
buttonholed threads, is very popular
for ornamenting these sets.
Another pretty collar and cuff set is
made Of several lines of punched out
holes arranged in Indian file.
In table linen Hedebro work center
pieces, napkins and the small table
covers that are hardly more than large
centerpieces are newest. This work is
a cross between Richelieu and lace
work. The effect Is gained by but
tonholing around bits shaped like old
jewel work designs and is then cut
out carefully and the openings filled in
with the prettiest lace stitches Be
tween the scallops of the edge runs
tiny buttonholing, made lace fashion
by casting stitches across the back and
working over them for foundation.
Among the little things that are hard
ly more than a Christmas card are pin

the cover given the lettering and con-
ventional figures were both couched

in general use, and, needless nerho,s
to say, must be made quite half o.
inch larger than the actual size of +ho
paper envelope.
A pretty waste paper holder can 10
made from a piece of cardboard moas-
uring nine inches high, with a dame
ter of nine inches. The cardboard is
covered with brocade and lined with
dark sarcenet, afterward Joined and
sowed into a bottom piece of round
cardboard covered with silk only. Ton
and bottom are finished off with thick
rolled braid, and care must be taken
to render the join in the cardboard
cylinder as imperceptible as possible. .
Engagement and address books use
mp odd scraps of brocade. They can
be bought quite cheap and the origi-
nal covers replaced with dainty bro
cade ones. Trinket boxes, blotting
books, veil and glove cases, all can be
made and, lastly, stands to hold cards.
These are particularly pretty when the
pattern on the brocade is outlined in
tinsel thread and the brocade after
ward pasted on to the inner side of the
cardboard cases sold with playing
cards, narrow silk braid sewed round
afterward hiding the raw edges and
two pieces OF ribbon at either side of
he box to keep the cards in position

trailing nature. In the latter case the
"art'' pot shown in the illustration
could be dispensed with.
The actual making of this stand
would be best intrusted to carpenter,
but the panels flanking each compart-
ment offer scope for the energies of
the home worker. Beaten copper.
carving and poker work would be
equally effective, and the rest of the
stand should be stained mahogany.
Before the compartments are fixed on
it would be a good plan to get the
platform part covered with a sheet of
zinc. The result would be a durable,
and thoroughly useful little bit of fur
niture.
If the original frame, sent the day
before Christmas, be filed with grow
ing plants, the artistic value is en-
HANGED.

HOUSEkEEPERs' BOOKS.
sfuch Prized at Yuletide-How They
Are Constructed


Housekeepers' books are trifies which
are ever in demdnd. but which often
have little beyond their usefulness tn
win for them respect. The clever no.
ton of making a handsome cover that
can be slipped over each new set of
blank leaves in turn at once removes
them from the commonplace and
makes of them Christmas gifts that
any woman of taste might offer. The
one given in the illustration is made Of
sage colored agra linen and is per-
haps as good as any that can be de-
vised. To copy it purchase the neces
sary blank book and both linen ana
linen canvas as required.
Cut two pieces of canvas each the ex
act size of one cover of the book. Then
lay these down upon the linen in such
way as to leave sufficient space be-
tween for the hinge or the back of tho
book two inches aboye,atwo inches he.
low and two or three inches beyond at
each side, according to the size of the
book. Make some smooth flour paste.
and turn over and paste into the can
vas the linen that projects both above
and below. When that is quite dry cut
a strip of lining silk half an inch larger
all round than the linen. turn in tha
edges of each and haste the two neatly
together Slip stitch the edges firmly.
then turn over into the silk the eytra
width beyond the stiffening and over
hand the four ends together. Sin tbe

done in burnt work. Sheets of paper
are tied inside-a paper that viii take
ink well. Sometimes a gay little pen
holder is tied to it or run. through rib
bon loops. The idea is for each guest
who comes 10 the new. home to write
a verse or a sentiment and sign his
name and the date.
Spools of thread for handy use are
kept in all sorts of contrivances. There
are tiny little basket hampers that viii
hold two spOols and a diminutive
emery. When filed they are most
convenient for. travelling. They are
lined with pretty, plain SILK, and the
tiny emery is attached to a corner OF
the basket by fine silk cord. Flannel
leaves for needles are fastened to the
cover.

The trail was followed to Tuncriz, Mexico, near Magdalena, and there four of the stolen horses were recoY- aGed and one of the Mexicans who stole them was captured and turn ed over to the authorities.
 A few days ago Lieutenant Brooks received a letter from Col Roster iitsky stating that the horse thief had been disposed Of
 Lieutenant Brooks and posse made a record ride from Douglas to Tuneriz in the chase after the stolen horses and the thieves and he Is pleased to Infer from the letter of the Mexico rurale commander that the horsethiei will not be troublesome again on this side of the line.
