Ladies' Work Apron and Garden Hat.

With coming OF spring. the woman
who loves flowers, will find much to
do about her garden, and as such work
is disastrous to the dainty pretty
gown, one will see at a glance, the
usefulness of an apron of this kind.
1t protects the entire dress, and is
very simple to make. A full gathered
skirt, joined to a narrow yoke with
straps over the shoulders. Cross
barred muslin, duck and bingham are
all used for the purpose, but for a
practical work apron, nothing is bet
ter than Holland linen.
The hat is a picturesque little mo-
del made to protect the yes from the
glare of the sun. II can be easily
Numbered as the crown buttons on to
the brim. Made of white pique, or
pink OF blue lawn, it will be found
a very pretty addition to the summer
wardrobe. The medium size requires
four and one-half yards of thirty-siN
inch material for the apron and one
and one-eigth yards for the hat.
Ladies' Work Apron No. 5oS8:
Sizes Small, medium and large.
Ladies' Garden Hat No. 5oS3: One
Size.
The above illustration calls for two
separate patterns. The price is ten
cents for the Work Apron and ten
cents for the Garden Hat.

Allah's Wonderful Ways.

One of the partners in a big west
end store never lends money under
any circumstances. He~~as one day
visited by an old friend, who wished
to borrow money wherewith to
launch a questionable enterprise,
The merchant prince gave some po-
lite excuse for his unwillingness to
lend, and the man declared he re-
garded this excuse as somewhat
fishy.
Thercupon, smiling grimly, the
merchant said: LET me tell you a
little story. Once upon a time an
Arab went to his neighbor, and said:
LEND me your rope
81 can't said the neighbor.
"'Why not|
Because I want to use the rope
mvself.'
"'What do you want to do with
itS the borrower persisted.
az want to tie up five feet of water
with it,
"'How on earth can you tie up five
feet of water with a rope?
"'My friend said the neighbor,
Allah is great, and he permits us to
do strange things with a rope when
we don't want TO lend it"

FOR woMEN's SUFFRAGE.
o. eisrnfon: ~Cpiaus for aSinnens Rpitret.~
Translated by OLE O. LIEN.

She rose and thus she answered: "On
earth no right is found
Whne you alone are master and
. words of law PROFOUND.
You raised your lofty structures, the
earth you did subdue;
But justice there TO render was not
reserved for you.
Too long the only ruler, too broad
as boss you stand:
Too long the sword you welded with
loud and stern command.
You course is not directed for JUS
. tice, peace and right;
Your compass wrong is turning, for
there is steel in sight.
The elements you mastered, you ma
lures forces found,
And they for you are shaving like
beasts the world around.
But inside there is roaring the SQUAD
of sword and fame,
And outside steady arming for war
as final aim.
You loaded down the nations with
burdens hard to brave;
You take the peoples money, for you
are moneys slave.
Thus in the final issue, when all is
won or lost,
Our children are the victims, and they
must pay the cost.
Then in their name I ask you: will
you not count me in?
For justice is the victor, and it will
always win.
The rights that you are sighting
would us from discord free;
Let justice be your leader,-and show
it now TO mel"

When Billy was three years old his
mother bought him a pair of short
duck pants. The first time they were
washed they >hrank badly. Billy was
fat, but his mother wedged him into
the trousers against his protest. Billy
went ont to play, but in a few minutes
returned.
Mamma" he said. "I can't wear
these panties, they are too tight. Why
mama, they are tighter than my
skin"

THE SURPRISED PHYSICIAN

A well-known New York physician,
while recently attending a banquet,
INDUCED rather freely in various
liquors. Not being accustomed TO
drinking. the effects Dor became
apparent. Before the banquet was
over, he was summoned to one of his
most aristocratic patients, and was
soon speeding up Fifth Avenue in
his automobile. Arriving at a GER
tain brown-stone mansion, the doctor
with superhuman efforts managed TO
walk straight, and was ushered into
bis patients boudoir. He drew out
his watch and proceeded to feel the
pulse, but try as he would it was inn
possible for him to find il. Disguised
with himself he muttered: Positively
drunk when to his amazement the
lady exclaimed; "Oh. doctor, | i'm
plore you, not to tell on mel"

There never lived on earth a man
whose soul
Could span with president thought

The strife and struggle, longings,
hopes and pleasure
OF those who brave the storm for

But If he has the FIRE of inspiration,
The spirit which reflects the times

By viewing past events and present

He may divine a peoples future

STEADY GROWTH OF TRADE
Each Succeeding Improved
ID

creasing money wealth to, create new
and abundant credit on which to build
new enterprises, there was no reason
why all doubts Of the future should
not be cast aside.
During 1904 demand loans of stock
market collateral In New York
usually the best test of money sur
plus or scarcity in the country-wen
as low as one-half Of | per cent, and
even in the usually tight month OF
December did not get above 6 per
cent. Time loans in the same market
had been placed as low as Tx per
cent and not above 5 per cent, And
all the time the increased gold produc-
ton in the Transvaal, Australia, Alas
ka and the United States proper add
ed abundantly to the stores Of money
wealth of the world.
In November of 1904 much stress
had been laid on the fact that the to-
tai deposits Of the national banks OF
the country had reached the pinnacle
Of $3.50, $780, $40. Each recurring re-
port Of the comptroller Of the cur
rency, however, showed this record
surpassed, until that one published
last month showed total national bank
deposits at $5,554,S45,194.
Of the total deposits at the close Of
1904 New York held s1,224, 100000, or
a little less than one-fifth, and of the
total loans Of the country New York
had accommodations to the extent OF
$1,145, 1856, 200, or more than one-third.
The Globe-republican., 1906-01-11

Phenomenal activity, reaching to
every branch Of trade and industry,
marked the year 1905. nv
During the summer Of 1904 the ma.
fion began to recover from prolong-
"a season Of business stagnatlon. AS
the months Of that year progressed,
conditions became more and more ia
v0rable. Both in speculation and in
4 the lines Of actual industry the spirit
Of revival was extant, and the end Of
the year Witnessed conditions that
\ were gratifying to business interests
In the extreme.
With the dawn Of 1905 this state Of
affairs continued, and throughout the
twelve months growth In all lines Of
commercial enterprise was main
tanned.
There was not a month in which
the financial position OF the nation
was not strengthened. The business
Of the country gained momentum as
the year progressed, until In the final
weeks the most remarkable state Of
activity ever displayed in the history
Of the United States was witnessed.
Remarkable In many respects, the
distinctive feature Of 1905 in its finan-
cial and commercial aspect was its
evenness. No machinery ran more
easily, more smoothly than the mate
rial currents. 1t was steady ad-
vance in production and consumption;
a constant increasing demand for
banking accommodations an accumu-
lation Of deposits, the immediate in
dexsof expanding wealth The latter
lhal2of the period developed demand
for Supplies which taxed the capacity
OF factories, mills and mines to supply.
This was the stimulation Of an un-
precedented crop Of grains upon a
market expanded to normal proper
tions. The earlier activity was the
continuation Of the previous year,
when business revived from year Of
stagnation and inactivity, from year
of liquidation and pessimism. The
movement gathered force during the
winter, and with the open weather the
building operations Of the people be-
came general, calling every idle hand
into use. The indices of material af-
fairs pointed to strong pressure
everywhere, reflect the bounty of
Dame Fortune in the ranks Of the
capitalist and the laborer.

RAILROADS HAVE MADE MONEY.
Earnings Of Lines Go Over Two Bill
lion Dollars.


For the first time the steam rail-
roads of the United States have earn
ed more than $2,OOO,OOO,OO0 in one
year, the high water mark being
reached in 1905. Not only were the
gross earnings heavier than in any
previous year, but the net earnings
were also larger despite the fact that
more money was spent for physical
improvements, locomotives, freight
and passenger cars than in any for
mer year. :
The number Of freight cars built in
1905 was 165,455, an increase of 5000
over any former yebr, while the num-
Der Of passenger cars built was 2,551,
an increase of over 400. There were
5,491 locomotives built in 1905, an in
crease of 1000 over the previous year
and of $50 over 1903, the next largest
year.
There were 1879 miles of new rail
road built last year, 700 miles more
than in 1904, the total mileage of the
end of 1905 being 217,32S miles. The
greatest activity in railway construc-
ton was in the Southwestern a1d
Northwestern states, in these two Sec
tions more than half the year mile
age being built. The coming year
will see great amount of new road
built In the Northwest, as the st.
Paul, Burlington, and Gould lines are
trying to rush extensions to the Pa

also developing its system.
