ing large and small wishbones made
of pnper a conspicuous feature, while
tiny stepladders and the number thir-
teen should also be conspicuous. Pic
lures of black cats may be In evidence,
designs of witches and four leaf cio-
vers. These ideas may be all arranged
effectively, When the guests enter each
one should be presented with cards or
namented with designs of cats, wish
bones, red haired young women In con-
Junction with white horses and other
absurd drawings. Each one should
then be asked to write his or her
pet superstition upon the cards pre-
sented, signing no name whatever.
After every one has finished the cards
are collected and read aloud for the
benefit and amusement of all. The OBJ
ject of the game is to try to guess the
author of the superstition written.

IL They Are Irritable, Find Out and
Remedy the Cause.
"The idea that thin persons are more
irritable than fat ones has some foun-
dation in fact" said an old physician,
'but the thinness is generally due
to the irritability, and not vice
versa. The great mistake is in
supposlng that a querulous dIsposi-
ton is natural, and Inherited. The
peevish and fretful child could be
brought up to an nmiable and good
tempered maturity If Its needs were
understood and attended to. 1t does
not whimper from sheer perverslty.
More than half the bad temper in the
world is due to neglect OF this kind.
The child's disposition is warped In
infancy and 1t grows up with a twist
in its temper and disposition to look
at the black side of things. Instead Of
growing plump and rosy, the continual
irritation keeps 1t thin, pale and spin
dly.' Now, this is matter of special
Importance to women, because, with
their finer organization, fretting and
worrying have a far more destructive
effect than in the case of men. They
spoil their good looks, dissipate their
vitality and become. 'scraggy.' Moth
ers who have fretful children should
use every effort to find the remedy, es-
pecially when the children are girls"

Boston Wants FREQ Lumber.

ooSbOU NvdUto TECO Guf1ptfp
The Boston Herald sends up "a wall
for free lumber. So did l, and quite
recently in these letters. l based my
plea ON two grounds-the desire for
cheap building material and the wish
to preserve our own forests hand
through their preservation maintain
our rainfall and consequently our ag-
riculture.
But why does the Boston Herald
want free lumber? For a broad rea-
son--for the greatest good to the great
est number? Not on your life! When
did Boston ever want anything for
such a reason? Listen. Here Is the
argument Of the Herald
The Herald says the north and south
roads in the Mississippi valley are
hauling grain and other products from
the north to the gulf ports, and one
reason they can haul this stuff cheaply
is because the cars get a return cargo
OF southern pine and cypress. If they
didn't get this return cargo, the roads
woCld not be able to make lower rates
than the roads to Boston; hence the
Herald figures out that this return
cargo should be-stopped by taking the
tariff OFF lumber, thus letting in Ca
madam lumber to take the place of the
southern lumber In northern markets.
Who but Boston man would figure
out and seriously attempt to work a
scheme for such purely selfsn ends? 1t
is characteristic of New England's
attitude toward the rest of the coun-
try. She wants raw materials on the
free list for the benefit of her fac
tories, but the finished product of those
factories must have high tariff to
protect it. She wants to buy the
western farmers wool and hides on
free trade basis and sell him blan-
kets, clothes and shoes OH the high
tariff basis. They insist that what Is
sauce for the New England goose
should not be sauce for the western
gander. There Is the greatest evil in
all this high tariff system of robbery.
1t is Senator Vests COW over again
she stands with her head in the Mis-
sissippl valley, eating Of the fat of the
land, while she is MIXED in New Eng
land.
This plaintive cry of the Boston Her
aid gives the only reason in the world
why we should not have free lumber
1t might injure the north and south
traffic in the Mississippi valley. Yet
the south would gain from it in cheaper
homes and in keeping her forests. No
one doubts that cutting off the timber
entails future disaster to agriculture.

nuYlNe GROCERIES.
A Few words of Advice From Man
Who Sells Them.


Who Sells Them.
"IIaye word for housekeepcrs?'
exclaimed he of the white apron ana
benevolent countenancc to Good
Housekeeping writer. II tell you some
days can hardly keep still when I
see them buying as they do
"Of course. there are great many
who know their business. but fully
half the women who patronize this
store-and they are well to do-buy
even the most necessary staples by the
day or even by the meal. Indeed.
can recall at this moment more than Il
dozen women with good sized families
who buy their coffee, for instance, by
the quarter pound. Just think what a
waste Of precious time and what an
amount of unnecessary thought and
travel II entails. From the standpoint
of economy 1t is poor policy
.'These same housewives will have
an economical turn and buy cheaper
grade Of groceries, never realizing that
they get less for their money as re.
CARDS nourishment and enjoyment, un-
less perhaps they chance upon bona
fide sale For instance, many buy
pink salmon because 1t Is cheaper than
red, but 1t has less taste and is drier.
So also with tea and coffee. Prizes,
too, with any such goods, unless really
advertisements, are paid for by the
consumer.
"On the other hand, people often
throw away their money on articles
whose price is determined more by the
way they are put up than by their
quality. You can often get as good q
grade Of olives, figs or some such
goods in the bulk as In the package
and at much less cost.
'In word, the housekeepers save
under the present conditions by buying
the best-but not always the fancy
qualities-of groceries and by getting
them If possible by the even moneys
worth"

sltions has been the suggestion that
the new state when admitted should
be named In honor Of the immortal

pealed with particular force to the
men who are striving to steer the ter

the idea of naming her for noted

But that increase raises the deficit to
about $44U00,O00, as 1t was nearly
$25,000000 at the end of the fiscal
year June 80. Isn't it strange that the
G. o. Z. has fallen into such bad way

as blessing simply because it Is not
larger? Wat made the deficit? Ex-
travagance and dishonesty. Such fine

Beavers stole everything they could lay
hands on, and extravaganza has per-
vaded every department of the govern
