Lancaster People at Cassville.

Cassville Record: H. S. Rhodes

Mrs. E. Edwards, all of Lancaster
spent Sunday with friends in Cass-
vile. The men folks. of course
went to see the ball game which
they considered very fast exhibi-
ton for amateurs.
~
Ed Blewett enjoyed a visit last
week from his uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. Jos. DObbs. of Calumet,
Mich, whom he had not seen in 2
years. Mr.. Dobbs is an old miner
and was enthusiastic over some OF
the mines and prospects IN this
neighborhood as we'll as Dubuque.
Mrs. Elizabeth Blewett, Eds
mother, was also here from Lancas-
ter.
DR.. G. Critchlow and family and
John Henkel and wife, of Lancaster,
attended the entertainment on the
river front Saturday evening. The
doctor and Mr.. Henkel who were
camping at Clayton, witnessed the
performance the evening before and
were so pleased with it that they
telephoned to their families at Ian
caster to drive to Cassville, while
they took the afternoon train and
met them here. They considered
the performance the best west OF
Chicago. The ladies returned home
Sunday morning while the gentle
men went back to camp.

High School Notes.

Inc enrolment OF students in the
high school this year is the largest
IN the history of the school. So far
one hundred and fifty three have
entered and more have signifed
their lntert1on of entering. The
attendance of out of town pupils is
especially large.
The freshman class this year is
exceptionally large there being
sixty four enrolled. The teachers
were Obliged to make new divisions
and change the program in order
that all might work to an advan-
tage.
Owing to the increased attendance
this year it has been found neces-
stay to order extra text books for
nearly every class. Two new books
have been installed-Hart's Ameri-
can History and Wells Algebra.
1t is believed that these books will
more nearly fit the needs of the
| classes than those used heretofore.
The grades are we'll filled on the
north and south sides this year, the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades
on the south side being crowded.
The appearance of the assembly
room has been greatly improved by
the new hardware floor, paint and
rugs.
The organization of the Athletic
Association was completed Monday
evening. The new constitution was
presented by the committee and ac-
copied; officers of the association
for the coming year are: Clarence
Gates, President, Will Roughton
and Lowry Morse, Vice Presidents;
Clarence Webb, Treasurer and
Secretary. The fee charged for
joining the Association this year is
fifty cents and it is expected that
every student will join.
Football practice started Thurs
day evening of last week. Prof.
Patterson has charge Of the squad
which is large and contains many
promising candidates. Clarence
Gates is manager of the team this
year.
The following alumni visited
school this week Monday Miss
Charlotte Lowry 'O2 and Clarence
Howe 04 and Tuesday Ted Lowry
'O6.
Prof. Slothower gave the school
an instructive talk on spelling re-
form Wednesday and read a list OF
words that are likely to be changed
when lie new system comes into
common usage.

Back Stairs

A woman who found her steep bach
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into tao closets, one opening ont OF
her dining room, the other on the
second floor. The steps were rem owed
bodily and glass door opened into
the dining room from where they had
been. The space inside she had PAN
eled and rows of shelves we're built
in, well up 10 the ceiling. The lower
ones were used for china and the up-
per ones for preserves. A small win
dow cut into the side yard admitted
light into what was really a small
shelf-lined room. The whole cost lit
tie Upstairs capacious linen closet
filled in the vacant space.
Another woman who did not wish to
have the stairs actually taken out had
the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath,
using them from the first floor as a
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

Capt. Amos Subbs. pulling like an
overworked tugboat, drew his pudgy

iaboricusly across the jagged ridges OF

rs he reached the top-a small, cir

sKiRT-HANoERs EASILY MADE.
Set Makes an Acceptable and Suit
able Gift for Bride.

A Set OF clothes-hangers makes an
acceptable gift for a bride, traveller
or college girl. The set consists of
waist and skirt hangers-a dozen OF
each. The best waist-hangers are
those of coppered wire, found at any
furnishing store. They should be
wound with narrow ribbon, finished
with tiny bow at each Louder end
The skirt-hangers are easily made at
home. Take an inch strip OF pine
wood. Cut il into eight-inch lengths
Wind these also with ribbon. Screw
into the middle OF the upper edge a
fairly large-siGed brass cup-hook, and
two cup-hooks of smaller size near the
ends of the lower edge to hold the
loops of the skirt-band. Many closets
now are provided with n small brass
rod fastened across at a convenient
height. The hangers are hooked on
this. Closets sometimes have a shelf
running across for the entire length.
In that case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side, to hold
any sort OF rod, from brass to IT, oom-
stick. II Is astonishing what a num-
Der OF waists and skirts can be hung
without crowdiDg on a rod four feet
long.

Aneedots Of Robert q. Hin.

The late Robert r. Hit had knowl
edge OF stenography which was OF
great value to him in debate. He has
been known to rise with his hand full
or shorthand notes Of a speech Just
delivered TO which he was about to
reply and woe to the man who &C.
cused Mr.. Hit Of misquoting him. He
was the patron saint of the stenog-
raphers OF the house. Not long ago
political influence was about to dis
place from the line of promotion a
young expert writer OF shorthand from
Michigan whose work Mr.. Hit had
occasion to admire. Mr.. Hit went to
Speaker Cannon. This will never do,
Joe," said the shorthand authority Of
the house. I'VE can't do without this
inan. The house must have him" "All
right, HIT" replied Speaker Cannon.
If anybody knows the sort OF stenog-
yaphers this house ought to have you
are the man." That settled II and the
Michigan stenographer held his place.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkhnm.
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned DAYS Il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in n physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eS-
perience many of them gained n won
derf Il knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs,
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, II we but take the pains
to find them, In the roots and herbs
OF the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and

and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was q rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the Ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia Il. pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and 1t became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely. with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But In 1879 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, as this class
OF business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
OF income had TO be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.

Linen suits have a way OF showing
an ugly rust mark on the top of the
shoulders-from the coatbanger upon

Coathangers should always be GOV,

WIEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways in Which Housekeepers Can
Economic In Their uuse.

The housekeeper expects eggs to be
high at holiday time. just when she
wants to make extra good things, but
TO onset this condition the cold wealth
er allows more sugar and fat in food,
and the lack of eggs is not quite SO
serious as 1t might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents q dozen at the be-
ginning of September. as they were
this year in the large cities, the price
has decided influence on the daily
menu. The first point in which to be-
GIN economy OF eggs Is In serving
them as substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter a little
thought. although eggs are so staple
part OF the usual breakfast as to
come first to mind.
When eggs are scarce II Is not nee
essary 10 make ten egg sponge or
angel cake; neither is 1t wise to scrimp
too much by using baking powder to
take the place OF eggs. II a recipe
calls for a certain number, do not take
out one or two and expect to have n
satisfactory result, for the proportion
or materials has been changed. 1t is
greater wisdom to select a recipe in
which the number of eggs is smaller.
No egg cake is seldom satisfactory.
but there are many good cakes made
| with but two eggs. Raised hot breads
can for a time take the place of muf-
fms and other breakfast cakes made
with eggs, yet even here II may not be
wise to entirely omit them, for a pan
OF light, feathery mullins will all be
/ eaten, but If made without eggs two
/ or three of the cakes are likely to be
wasted. 1t takes but small per cent.
of waste in this way to turn cookery
| that was intended to be very economi-
| al into extravaganza.
