What the Mother. Do.

Playing with the little people
Sweet old games forever new;
Coa1ing, cuddling, cooling, kissing,
Baby's every grief dismissing,
Laughing, signing. soothing, singing,
While the happy days are winging-
This is what the mothers do.
Planning for the little people,
That they may grow brave and true;
Active brain and busy fingers
While the precious seedtime fingers,
Guiding, guarding, hoping, fearing,
Waiting for the harvest nearing
This is what the mothers do.
Praying for the little people
(Closed are eyes of brown and blue),
By the quiet bedside kneeling
With trustful, sure appealing;
All the Spirits guidance needing,
Seeking it with earnest pleading
This is what the mothers do.
Parting from the little people
(Heart of mine, how fast they grow y
Fashioning the wedding dresses,
Treasuring the last caresses;
Waiting then as years fly faster
For the summons of the Master
This is what the mothers do.

For srothers-in-Lavv.

No mother has right to interfere
between husband and wife when they
are satisfied with each other. No hus-
band is good husband, no wife good
wife, who allows such interference.
The mother who really loves her son
does all in her power to make his wife
love her, and to act as conciHator, II
any slight misunderstanding arise be-
tween the two.
But since the really good mother who
loves her children uDselfishly and wise
ly is as rare as white blackbird, 1t Is
not to be wondered at that the good
mother-in-law is not found every day,
says Woman's Life. A mother should
remember that when her daughter mar
ries she passes entirely from her Juris-
diction, and should strongly discourage
any desire to interfere with the young
wife's daily life.

Avoiding Rust Marks.

Linen suits have a way of showing
an ugly little rust mark on the top of
the shoulders-from the coathanger
upon which it was carefully kept when
ever out Of use.
Coathangers should always be COW
cred before they are used for white or
delicate colored things. Little bags OF
silk or linen or dimity can be drawn
over the long sides and held in place
by narrow ribbons, tied into pretty
bows. And then, even if the weather is
damp enough to make everything rust,
the brunt of it won't come upon ones
very best bib and tucker, but upon an
easily replaced thing.

HEARST AND HUGHES.
Named Opposing Candidates for
New York Governorship.

New York Governorship.
William r. Hearst was nominated for
Governor on the first ballot by the New
York Democratic State convention at
Buffalo, the vote standing: Hearst, 300 /;
Sulzer, 1874; Dix, II. The platform says
in reference to Bryan: I'm common with
the Democrats of all the States and ex-
pressing the sentiment of the high-minded
citizenship of the republic without party,
we view with pride and satisfaction the
hospitality and acclaim which have been
accorded at home and abroad to that great
Democratic leader and typical American,
William Jennings Bryan, to whom the
Democrats of New York extend most cor
dial and sincere Fluctuations"
Charles Il. Hughes, the New York law
yer who probed the life insurance COM
panies, was nominated by reclamation for
Governor by the Republican State con-
vention at Saratoga. The nomination
was distinct victory for President
Roosevelt, a partial victory for h. B.
Odell, Jr., and a crushing defeat for the
Higgins State machine.
The platform adopted opens with an
eulogistic tribute to President Roosevelt
pledging the Republican party Of New
York to follow in his footsteps. The
administration of Gov. Higgins il is de-
clared passes into history as one Of the
greatest" the State has ever known. As
the result Of the recent insurance inves-
tigation unworthy officials were driven
from power and laws have been enacted
to secure the protection of policy holders
against long existing and widespread
abuses"
The wisdom Of the protective tariff is
affirmed, and it is demanded that its re-
vision, as occasion may require, be in
trusted TO its friends and not to its enc
mics" Legislation for the restoration

Caring for Finger NaIl..

Care Of the finger nails always marks
the woman of refinement and for her
blackened or dirty nails is a physical
impossibility. At the same time the
care bestowed upon the nails should
be for the purpose of bringing out the
natural beauties of this part Of the
epidermis. To leave the nails tinted
so that the artificial coloring is evident
OF TO polish them too highly Is not a
mark Of refinement After nail COS
metics are used the fingers should be
dipped in warm water 10 reAcove all ev-
idtnces of the treatment and The nails
should shine only with what approx
mates the natural polish.

About Wall Paper.

Rooms with low ceilings look higher
with striped walls.
A large-patterned paper makes a
small room look smaller.
A plain pale-tinted paper is apt to
fade when exposed to the sun; in this
case white ground with colored flow
ers is better.
In a bedroom a plain paper on the
ceiling is more restful to the eyes.
Engravings show better against a
dull-tone plain paper perfectly red
terra-cotta, mustard or olive green.
If the furniture covering and the
carpet both have large patterns over
them select a plain wall paper of a
harmonizing shade.
If the furniture coverings are plain
sometimes a large-fgured paper is q
good background.
Dark green, mustard and terra Gotta
are the most desirable colors.
If possible, hall paper should have
a figured base.

his scheme to succeed. Fortunately, how
ever, he saw great black cloud rapidly
advancing which threatened TO hide the
moon: so lie set off down the hill at a
run in order TO catch his wife at part
of the road some distance down, where
she would be compelled to go slowly, and
thus give him a chance to spring on the
trap and take her by surprise. But quick
as he was, Pierre was quicker, and both
vandeloup and Kitty could see the two
black figures running rapidly along in the
moonlight.
"Who are those?' asked Kitty, with
a sudden start Are they going after
Madame?"
Little goose whispered her lover.
with a laugh, "if they are they will never
catch UP to that horse. It's all right,
Bebe," with reassuring smile, seeing
that Kitty still looked somewhat alarmed.
'they are only some miners out on
frolic.''
Thus pacifed, Kitty laughed gaily, and
they wandered along in the moonlight,
talking all the fond and foolish nonsene
they could think of.
Meanwhile the great black cloud had
completely hidden the moon, and the
whole landscape was quite dark. This an
noyed Madame, as, depending on the
moonlight, the lamps of the trap were not
lighted, and she could not see in the
darkness how to drive down very awk-
ward bit of road that she was now on.
1t was very steep, and there was
high bank on one side, while on the other
there was a fall of about ten feet. She
felt annoyed at the darkness, but on look
ing up saw that the cloud would soon
pass, so drove on slowly quite content.
Unluckily she did not see the figure on
the high bank which ran along stealthily
beside her, and while turning corner,
Mr.. Yilliers-for it was he-dropped sud-
denly from the bank on to the trap, and
caught her by the throat
