A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people Is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up a piece Of candy.
The pose of the hand with it's per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph It, The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr.. Post
said to rs wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries of this kind, that it is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
tising department have that picture
of your hand to print and name 1t "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
OF extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts,
so the picture appeared on the back
covers Of many Of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
| II as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept. of the Post.
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
| temptation to enlist the curiosity OF
the public, by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one OF
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
| for and read the forthcoming adver
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination Of art and com
merce and the multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration o.
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large
manufacturers whose names becom,
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements il
newspapers and periodicals.

The Rev. Henry Francis Lyte, whose
hymn, Abide With Me, is one OF the
most precious to Christian hearts, was
vicar of Lower BriXham. Thirty years
ago an attempt was made to rebuild
the oil church as memorial to him,
some progress was accomplished, and
now a final effort is being made to
finish the tower.

preceded it since 1896. If we vote to
elect O Democratic House, it means
that we are voting to put an effectual
stop to that work, to register dis
approval of it, and to prevent the
carrying out the principles and policies
of the Republican party, which the
people two years ago declared should
continue to be the policy Of the Govern
ment for four years, or during the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt.
If we vote for Democratic House,
and a Democratic House should be
elected it does not mean that Demo-
cratic principles and policies, whatever
they may be, will become the principles
and policies of the Government. But
it will mean that Republican principles
cannot be enforced during the next
two years. With Democratic House
the Democrats cannot make any head
way. They can, however, prevent the
onward march Of Republicanism and
universal prosperity. So, then, the
proposition resolves itself simply into
the question, Whether the Government
shall mark time, during the next
two years, as Speaker Cannon puts it,
or go forward along the lines already
laid out which have received the I'M
qualified approva! of the people ?

A FORCED ISSUE.

When party gets hard up for live
issues it is favorite practice in this
country to raise the cry, Turn the
rascals out''-the "rascals' in that
sense being the party in power at the
moment. A recent pronunciamento
from the Chairman OF the Democratic
Congressional Committse would indi-
cate that the Democratic party in this
campaign is reduced to this last polite
al cxpediency. Chairman Griggs said
that if the Democrats were given the
control of the House of the Goth Con-
gress they would begin investigations
which would demonstrate the existence
of rottenness in the executive depart
ments Of the Government, which he in
timated was being concealed by the
Republicans.
Well, let's expose that statement to
the cold light of fact. We remember
that when the Democrats were appeal
ing for power. in 1884, and again in
1892, they raised that same cry. The
voters put the Democrats in full pos
session of the Government and they
failed to find any rascals. Not scandal
was nearthed not an official disgraced.
Now, the Republicans do not claim
to he more honest than other men of
opposing political faith, There is the
same proportion of dishonesty in human
nature regardless of party. But the
Republicans have shown that they do
not have to wait for hostile admins
tration to take control of one branch of
the Government to find the rascals in
their midst, They don't burn down
the barn to get at the rats. and it is
not necessary for the country to des-
troy political edifice in order to reach
undesirable inhabitants of it. Some
rascals were discovered in the Govern
ment service by the present admins
tration They were found out and ex-
posed and the country has approved
the successful eff orts Of the law branch
of the Government to root out the Of
Tenders and put them in Jail, and to
stop the offenses. If Chairman Griggs
cannot present any more virile issue to
the voters than the one he now clamors
for, he will have to look again.

FOR WHAT ARE We VOTING.

We'll, what are we voting for this
fall, many of the voters ask. The
time is drawing near when the answer
to this question becomes very import
ant. But in the light of existing con-
ditions and universal prosperity the
question answers itself. One thing we
are voting to determine is whether or
not we will maintain the industrial and
financial conditions which have existed
since the last Democratic Congress was
turned out of power, or whether we
will inject doubt and uncertainty into
the continuance of these prosperous
conditions by electing a Democratic
House?
If we vote to elect Republican
House, it will mean that we are voting
to continue the good work of the last
session of Congress and those which

The unwillingness OF many men.
capable Of representing their coun-
ties creditably TO make the necessary
sacrifice Of time and money which
this public service, calls for, probably
has something to do with the fact
that so many second class men are
sent to do the law making for the
state. TO a man OF first class abil-
ity the sacrifice is a real one. and
the certainty of his being able to
render his constituents and his state
any considerable service Is not al
ways very apparent.
