Congressman Martins interests in
the Black Hills has not been dis
turbed to any appreciable extent by
the injection of several COMPRESSION
al candidates over there. The hand
full OF promoters who are seeking to
deprive the Hills country of any rep
resentation whatever in congress are
not making the Roadway they anti
8~cipated. Mr.. Martin shows his conf
dence in the Hills country by dcvot-
Ing the remaining days before the
ca1cuses on this side CT the RIVER.
II his candidacy was in such jeo-
spardy as is claimed by the insurgents
it is very likely he would remain
over there and look closer after his
side of the affairs.

Chancellor Day, of the Syracuse
University, has publicly criticised
President Roosevelt for having sent a
message to congress in which he re-
ferred in rather strong terms to the
Standard Oil Co. for its past
otfensess The chancellor said that
the president made a great blunder
In trying to depreciate the proper
ties Of the great corporate interests.
he characterized the presidents
message as a roundup Of THE coM-
meIial interests which Threatened
the permanency Of great corporation
interests. Chancellor Days inter
est in the defence of the Standard
Oil Co. and the corporations in gen.
real is made known to a considerable
extent by Rev. NJ. M. Parkhurst,
OF Chicago. Through the statements
made by MI. Parkhurst it is ascer-
tatned that Chancellor DAYS univer-
sity has been the beneficiary Of the
Standard OFFS bounty, and that the
admitted to Mr.. Parkhurst that
over 100000 had been given the
University by the corporations OF
the country, and that he hoped to
be able to get a million more. Nj.
Parkhurst gave the further informa-
lion that he mad been informed
while IN the east that Chancellor
Day was to be retained at the head
ofSthe University for the reason that
his Influence was SO strong with the
corporations and that he would be
able to make heavy drafts on them
In q financial way. And this is the
educator of q great educational insti-
3tuti0nsin New York. What he expects
to gain in his charges against the
president will be abundantly nulliied
by the statements made by such men
as Rev. Parkburst and others to whom
the chancellor has confided his plans.
The mere fact that the chancellor ex-
poets TO profit In a financial way for
his defence Of the corporations will
help them any in the eyes of the
general public, aud will only serve
TO heighten the contempt the people
will have for the charges which
have been made against the presi-

the name that this power is exclusively feminine,
but it is very strongly asserted that women have
developed it almost incomparaby higher than men
have; that it is a special sixth sense by which
women compensated for certain physical dis
abilities If we place the simple word ''some" be-
fore women in the foregoing paragraph we
shall be nearer the truth, for there are women
with no more intuition than plaster image
We told to trust a womans intuition.
Often this be done with advantage, but not
always. 1t is not an nfalible power, for then the
woman with intuition would never make blunders,
and these she does make-tragic and otherwise.
Unequaly distributed, fallible when possessed,
leading to absurdties, and yet often serving as
sure guide through menacing dangers-this thing
intuition, fascinates the mind bringing from us
the wondering question: What are you?
Our ordinary judgment, masculine or feminine
is based on observation. just as a child learns
that fire makes pain, so he, as life goes on, ac-
quires host of truths about causes and results,
and if he is very observant he may become rather
expert in this sort of thing foreseeing events that
others would regard as improbable.
POSSIBILITY OF ERROR
Now intuition is merely this simple rational
method intensified. The ntutiona person differs
from one of more commonplace powers in having
keener senstiveness to facts; in being able 10
distinguish what may be styled their subtler
tones. In the everyday world some men and
women can distinguish tints, tones, odors and
favors that are to other persons non-existent.
In measure, intuition is extreme sensitiveness
to some facts of sight and hearing. 1t is sensi-
tveness to physical qualities that others fail to
observe Bluff manners and resonant voice are
hailed by the world at large unfailing signs OF
candor The intuitional person is not so easily
convinced. She can assuming the sex feminineJ
detect any forced character in behavior and
speech.
To look one in the eyes is deemed by the I'M
thinking accepter of superstitions a sure sign of
honesty The woman with intuition observes more
than this staring. She notes thousand and one
triAes that are beyond control, things that occur
when the actor is pondering for an instant what
effect he has produced.
l will tell you why intuition should be used
with caution. Many of the trihes that one ae-
cepts as indicating undesirable attributes can be
brought about by purely physical conditions, Shif-
ty eyes may mean weak eyes, A false ring in the
voice, confusion of speech, paling and trembling
may be symptoms of health impairment only,
having nothing whatever to do with good OF bad
moral qualities.
There are many estimable persons who, directly
they know they are suspected or from mere dread
of unjust suspicion, show the signs we are apt to
seize as proofs Of guilt

Hygiene for Pets

could steal from the arder to make up the feast.
This cat had great objection to cats-meat, and
he even went so far as to interfere when he found
that another cat which lived close by made his
meals off this dainty. He would take the meat
away and bury it, and in exchange give his own
dinner to his feline friend.
TOO MUCH EXERCISE.
dog which pants good DEAL has his tongue
constantly hanging out, and always seems thirsty,
has probably been allowed to run about too much
in the sun. Don't let your dog exert himself too
much on hot days.
USEFUL RETRIEVERS.
Retrievers learn to fetch and carry more quick
ly than other dogs, and may be made very use
ful in bringing ones slippers and other small
articles, and in carrying things in the street.
NIGHTINGALES GROWING FAT.
The nightingale in confinement is very apt to
become fat and husky in the autumn, which
causes it to refuse it's food.
1t should have two three spiders a day
to thin it down, and when its fat is reduced it
must be kept very warm and a little saffron
in the water will be beneficial

ting them on inverted bowls or broad fat dishes
At the base, to prevent the pots from showing
lay strip about six or eight inches wide OF
green crepe paper. Arrange the pots so that they
will partly overshadow the green paper.
Choose yellow and white chrysanthemums of
good size, entwining these around the electro
lier and placing here and there among the green's,
finally encircling around the green paper leav-
ing on their own foliage. This idea I saw at
dinner the other day and it was really very effec
tive for so simple an arrangement.
For entree or an ice chrysanthemum case
would be an excellent choice; a sketch of this
is shown in number ~. If you are clever in
fashioning such things you can easily obtain the

These are also chosen for cases. and are realistic
looking specimens of the genuine pigskin, as
sketch 5 proves. Just above this sketch is
pumpkin in yellow paper filled with toothsome
sweets.
Jack Horner pies are still favored and while
the huge cabbage with generously spreading leaves
is not new, it proves to be popular. A drawing
OF this is displayed at top of page. A water
melon is another style of "pie" in which chill
dren especially delight. At recent child's party
a bonbon souvenir that proved very successful
far captivating them was candlestck
with taper containing six small strips of candy.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE FAvoRs.
Among the newest fruit and vegetable favors
inclosed fanciful caps and bonnets of paper
That the gardens have been well ransacked for
ideas is shown by the following list, all repro
duced in a most realistic manner.
Pippins, Lady Blush, Snow apples, besides
those temptingly striped peaches, pears, plums,
oranges, bananas grapes, big ripe ounces cu-
cumbers, potatoes, of corn, pumpkin, pickles,
besides hosts of others.
Other favors include a ham, flask, stems can.
teen, telephone, gilt baskets, cognac bottles,
pet sweeper, typewriter, box of oranges, case of
wine, darkey on watermelon turkey, automobile.
indeed there seems to be no limit to the sur
prsing list of favors reproduced with striking
fidelity.

HOW TO TREAT OBESITY.
ENCOURAGING Home Work

The Homework Cooperative Society, which
has held several successful exhibitions of work
at its Regent street rooms, London, has the dou.
BILE aim Of finding remunerative market for the
skilled work of ladies in reduced circumstances,
and at the same time of raising the standard of
taste in needlecraft, and saving many beautiful
kinds of work from becoming extinct. All the
work is carried out under the supervision OF
ladies having an intimate knowledge of the best
that has been produced in needlecraft, and is
mostly copied from carefully selected and often
unique, old models

HAND-REARED KITTENS.

When kitten has to be reared by hand the
best thing to do is to bring it up on the bottle
a miniature feeding bottle such is sold in toy
shops will answer the purpose admirably. 1hS
method is much superior to spoon feeding, as '1e
latter involves much handling, and kittens should
be handled as little as possible until they are
six weeks old
SALT BATHS FOR SICK GOLDFISH.
The most common and fatal of the diseases
which attack goldfish is fungus growth which
first appears as a tiny white speck on the tail,
fins. head or body of the fish, and which spreads
with great rapidity unless it is treated at once.
The sick fish should be placed in water contain
ing strong solution of salt. 1t should then be
taken out and wiped with soft cloth so as to
remove as much of the growth as possible, after
which it should be given second saltwater
bath. This seems to enable the fish to throw
off the disease sooner than anything.
CANARY EGGS.
II YOUR canaries have laid eggs out of season
IL is safest not to allow them to be Matched, but
TO take them away and either destroy them or
blow them and put them on a string. The rea-
son of this is that the moulting season may be at
hand and it is too great strain on your birds
constitutions to bring up another family. This IS
the best time to sell this years young birds now
they have just got their first plumage.
SUNLIGHT BEAUTIFIES PLUMAGE.
Plenty of sunlight greatly beauties birds
plumage II it is daily placed where the suns
rays can fall upon it, the feathers will become
far brighter and more richly hued than If it Is
always kept in the shade. Take the precaution'
however to cover a portion of the cage SO that
the bird can retire out of the glare of the sun
when it chooses, and let the window be open SO
that the air round the cage is kept COOL other
wise your pet may have sunstroke.
A CAT WHO GAVE A DINNERPARTY.
What would you think of a cat giving dinner
party to his friends? Yet this is just what q
cat belonging to the wellknown naturalist, th'
Rev. j. G. Wood, used TO do He would invite
the neighboring cats into the back yard, and sci
before them his own dinner, and anything else n

Rice a pItalllenne

For five persons 1 pound of rice will be re-
quired. Wash thoroughly in several cold waters,
then dry and cook in large kettle two-thrds full
of boiling water until it is soft enough to be cas-
lily broken, but not soft enough to mush. Drain
thoroughly and cool. Put u pound of butter in a
saucepan with l medium-sized onion, shredded.
Cook slowly until well Drowned, then add the
rice and "A pound of grated cheese. Mix with
two forks until we'll blended (never stir rice with

kisses. Or the slipper would be charming for an
ice These are also made to order in white satin
and, of course, are elegant the heels being gild-
ed. For souvenir the little wedding bell made
of white paper and decorated with artificial or
ange blossoms or lilies of the valley, as shown
in number sketch, is symbolical. The top lifts
off and little case three inches high is revealed.
Another very pretty little bonbon souvenir
is the basket of crepe paper with handle en-
twined in flowers as shown in the ninth sketch.
The miniature work basket of fowered paper
filled with inexpensive fittings would make a
charming souvenir for your luncheon for bridal
attendants.
MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS.
Footballs are seen in all sizes and make grace
full shapes for sweets, tied with college colors.

For Feminine PeruSal

heavy gallon of liquid is. Some people, in one
form or another, take almost a gallon OF liquid
a day, and, of course, it makes them fat and
heavy. Another thing, if you drink less liquid,
you will have less appetite for food, so reducing
will not be such heroic undertaking.
Avoid things that make you thirsty, as too
much fruit sweets, spiced foods pickles, salt and
greasy foods, etc. If you want to get rid of that
tired feeling and be light on your feet avoid
soups, stews, juicy fruit, liquor, ETC. The fat
woman should let her preserving jars lie empty
this year, as jellies, preserves and pickles only
sharpen her appetite and thirst. Cut off your
water, or rather liquor supply, gradually, as any
sudden change to the system is injurious.
YOUR FORTUNE IN A TEACUP.
To add zest to an afternoon ''tea' be sure to
leave some tea leaves in each cup; in other words,
which is a translation of an old Chinese tea song,
and your guests will all be interested in hearing
it:
One leaf alone, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three in groups, your wish you'll gain;
Four, letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter'll bring;
Six in a row, a song you'll sing.
Seven together, great fortune waits
For you, so say the Teacup Fates.
Tea leaves short and tea leaves tall
Bring you company great and small.
Tea leaves many and dotted fine
Are of bad luck the surest sign.
Tea leaves few and clean the rim,
Your cup with JOY o'erhows the brim.
Fortune teacups may be purchased bearing the
signs of the zodiac, and one at party is alway
of interest.

Country Girl.-It is fortunate thatSyou have a
penchant for painting as this talent may be very
nicely appropriated for decorating the favors

At an exclusive shop the other day ] saw
picturesque little sketch that may be used for
the menu or place card. Two hunters in their
scarlet coats mounted on high jumpers were sur
rounded by restless hounds. The background
was a bit of woodland.
Another idea was Bre'er Fox in thicket
standing on his hind legs looking at the hunters
and their pack slowly retreating over the hills

STATIONERY FOR CHILDREN.
Letter paper is for the most part square, that
size being considered the best taste for notes
and is unusually diminutive, even for the use
of youngsters, for the envelopes are only about
one and half inches square, while the sheets
are trihe less than three inches square, or just
large enough to fit smoothly in the envelope
after being folded once. The flaps on these en-
velopes are long and pointed, reaching almost to
the bottom.
HOW TO TREAT OBESITY.
Drinking too much or eating too much juicy
food will make you fat and clumsy, declares an
obesity patient. / dare say those who eat but
little and are still fat (unless they have fatty
degeneration, where all food turns to fat) drink
enough to fill them out. That is how got stout,

if you do not drink too much Most thin people
drink too little, and the majority of people drink
too little water. That is why there are more
thin than stout people.

out as soon as it enters, but goes into the blood

A WO1nan's Intuition

- 1HE words have become a stock phrase.
| They are encountered in novels and
E=TSsszSSI newspapers; they are used by speakers,
tszSsSgD to the accompaniment of knowing
nod intimating that reference is
made to something of indubtable keenness; some
thing that cannot be deceived.
The modern meaning attached to the term in
tuition" agrees closely with that of its origin One
may write this as inward teaching" Intuition is
the power of knowing on the instant whether a
person is good or evil, whether his words are
genuine or false, whether an event is probable or
the contrary. 1t goes beyond these limits, dis
covering motives, and foreseeing results, and ac-
eomplishing whatever it does accomplish without
any conscious processes of reason.
NOT INFALLIBLE
How is it's work carried on? Is it by some Pc
cular inner sensitiveness that responds to some
equally peculiar emanation from people, as pho
tographers plate responds to the rays OF light
That has been urged, but the theory breaks down
when we consider that intuition often concerns
not people merely, but the likelihood of events
and the character of inanimate things
It has never been asserted by thinkers worthy
