THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
IL Spoken.

The Tkuce-a-Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval op the Thrice-a-W Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar a year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-W Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un
| equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
| subscription price of the two papers is 80. 90

FEMALE CRANK
AFTER PRESIDENT
She Created Disturbance in Church
at Oyster Bag.
WAS RESTRAINED BY FORCE

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 13.-Miss
Asi L. Esac, who is summering in Oys-
,er Bay for the purpose of interview
ing the President or Mrs Roosevelt,
on what she declares is "a matter OF
life and death, created a scene during
the service in Christ Episcopal church.
Miss Esac, or Miss Case, as her
name is supposed to be, has at
tended every church service the presi-
dent has since his arrival here in July.
She has climbed Sycamore Hill on foot
several times, only to be turned away
by the secret service men She present
ed herself early at the church and took
a seat directly behind the pew usually
occupied by the Roosevelt family.
When Usher James Duffy requested
her to relinquish this seat she refused.
Duffy fOrcibly removed her to the rear
of the church. and Miss Esac says he
tore her gown in so doing. For this
act she later applied for a warrant for
Duffy, but was refused.
In the rear of the church Miss Esac
refused to sit down. A secret service
agent stood beside her, and during the
service she made no less than dozen
attempts to get past him. AS the presi-
dent was leaving the church three Sc
cret service men surrounded Mis-;
Esac, but she shouted:
Mr. President Mr.. President, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, won't you speak to NE
n D,ODoont0"
The president turned his head as he
passed. but did not pause. Miss EsaC
says her watch chain was broken il
this scrimmage with the secret service
men and her watch fell to the floor.
The president was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and Quentin and Repre-.
sentative and Mrs. LongwOrth. Miss
Esac has stated to acquaintances she
has made while here that she was tc

The study of the remains Of extinct

general the animals of the past that
survive in developed types were much
smaller than their descendants are to
day. Even some of the tremendous
saurians which look nightmares in the

Plesiosaurus, for illustration, were
much smaller than several existing

Rest is absolutely necessary to
everyone. There must be periods of
relaxation-moments when the mind
and soul and body gather force for
continued activity. The thing one
should guard against is taking rest at
the wrong moment. Herein lies most
of the success of Interesting at the

Great accomplishments have been
given up because one wanted to take
rest at the wrong minute. After a

NUNS FIRST TO POWDER HAIR.
Then Custom Quickly Spread to
Women of Fashion.

0En NQSLCfuA &OtCNiJ 0RfCd0 ~
Women of Fashion.
The custom of %powdering the hair
dates back as far as the sixteenth
century and was first introduced by
the nuns in French converts. Those
who had occasion to leave the clois-
tiers for any reason were wont to
powder their hair so as to make it ap-
pear gray and give them a venerable
look. The fashionable danes were
so struck with the novel effect of
white powder or dark hair that they
soon appropriated the device as n
of the arts of the worldly toilet. Out
of this grew the use of tints in the
hair. The Roman women often used
blue powder, and later, in 1860, EN-
press Eugene set the fashion of using
gold powder. Rome under the empire
and Greece during the time of Per
icles were seized with a mania for
golden hair. The bellies and tops OF
the day devised several methods
whereby black locks might be
changed to golden yellow, but bleach
ing did not always succeed. Conse-
quently quite a trade vas established
with the fair-haired tribes beyond the
Alps, who sold their locks to Latin
merchants to be worm on the heads
OF Roman handles.

no eIvg a ROOM ExpREssIoN
Simple Arrangements of Draperles
Has Good Effect.

tbs GCOQ EUCCls
We all remember how we formerly
drew pictures" of very angular men
and women. A circular line repre-
scented the head. Two dots made two
eyes. The mouth was a line. But this
was when we were very young.
For very soon we gave an upward
curve to the mouth to represent joy.
But a downward curve represented
grief. Our crude art had struck the
keynote to expression-the same key
notes that gives a room expression,
and without which the room-be it
decorated ever so well-lacks "soul."
One element which can best give
character to a room lies in treatment
of the top trims of doors and windows,
because these are salient and frequent
details looming largely on the walls.
Usually these trims are plain,
straight, horizontal, and the horizontal
line is neutral, with an inclination
toward severity. In the average home
these ungainly horizontal top trims are
hidden so far as the windows are o
cerned, by a gathered valance of drap-
ing not possible in the door.
Expression in a room is not neces-
sarily confined to the shape of the
top trims of doors and windows.
Height has always been associated
with stateliness, and informality' has
been associated with the reverse-or
merely moderate heights. Therefore
a less costly way to simulate height
and it's reverse may be achieved by
the use of movable plaque shelves
made at small expense, and such as
we illustrate in this article.
The double shelf adds to the height
of the door and gives dignity. The
more complicated single shelf shows
effort to successfully give the apart
ment a cozy and informal air.
The completely arranged shelf con
tains in it the dropping curve elemen
characteristic of the informal curved
pediment shown in our first drawing

Roman System Of FIaurIna.

Counting on the fingers was q reg
ular system for the young Romans.
They would make eighteen move
ments with the left hand for the mum
bers below 100, and eighteen with
the right hand for those above. Two
kinds of counting machines, called
an abacus, were also used. One was
a board strewn with sand, on which
geometrical figures were drawn. The
other was q frame, with balls moved
in grooves to represent figures, with
a special contrivance for doing frac-
lions. AS teachers were not very pa
tisnt in those days, arithmetic might
be said to have been learned less by
rule than by ferrule.
