CARE OF THE HOME
BUSY MOTHERS SHOULD ENLIST
SERVICES OF CHILDREN.
Dawnng Sense Of Responsibility Can
Be Awakened by Giving Them
Part of House to Care For.

The busy mother, especially without
n servant will find the proper care of
the home too much for her unless she
enilsts the children as helpers, says
the Mothers Magazine Let her begin
to practice systematics at once in this
case. Let her also call into play the
dawning sense of responsibility. AS
sign some particular corner or box of
playthings to one child to be cared for
Let there be certain proprietorship
in this and develop a pride in doing
the bit of work well. A small toy
might have the task of putting away
yesterdays newspapers, and do 1t
regul9rly, as his own special part in
keeping the house tidy and pleasant
The formation of careful habits and
genuine relief to the mother will be
the double effect of apportioning such
tiny tasks to the children.
The motive for doing these little
things well should be made promi-
nent. 1t should not be thought of as
drudgery at all, but should be allowed
as an honor, showing that the child
is now big enough to help mother and
do things in the right way. Discrimi-
mating praise should be bestowed, not
as if 1t were anything astonishing and
out of the way for the little one to do
the work and do it well, but as token
of appreciation of the motive and the
manner of doing it. Encourage as
much as possible, but do not develop
any vanity in the little one by prais
ing everything done, or going to any
excess.
Let love be the handspring of every
little service.

NEW YORK.

Charles e. Hughes, republican can
didate for governor, Is elected by
about $4,000 majority. The lieutenant
governorship is very close and the
official count may be required to de-
termine the result. Hearst, democratic
candidate for governor, carried Great
er New York by $4,000, and also car
ried many of the other larger cities of
the state. Democrats claim election
of all of the state ticket except the
governor.
Governor-elect Charles e. Hughes
gave out the following statement;
ut Is victory for sobriety and for
decency in the administration of gov
eminent. But the people will not toll
crate Indifference to public wrongs.
They desire neither exaggeration nor
inflammatory appeal on the one hand
nor moral or political obtuseness on
the other hand The election is a re-
buke to demagogical methods and it is
also impressive in it's demands for re.
sponsible leadership. | shall address
myself to the task of squaring the ad
ministration of government with the
interest Of the people"

The Outcome on November 9th as
Recorded Here and There.
THE NORTHERN STATES GENERALLY REPUBLICAN
Nebraska's Solid Republican Delegation in Con-
gress Broken. Hughes Successful in
New York State.
NEBRASKA.

Returns from the election are slow
in coming in, but enough has been re
ceievd to make the result certain, the
size of the majorities being the only
question remaining unsettled While
the returns on state officers other than
governor have not been tabulated, as
q rule they do not vary much from the
head of the ticket, and here the plu.
rality vii be larger than that of Gov
ernor Mickey, two years ago. which
was 9,143
All of the republican candidates for
congress have been elected except in
the Second, or Omaha district, where
the democrats elect Hitchcock The
democratic candidates for congress,
all of them, ran ahead of the party s
state ticket, resulting in material
decrease in the republican pluralities,
especially in the Third and Sixth dis
tricts. Nebraska, therefore, in the
next congress will be represented as
follows: First district, f. M. Pollard
(rep); Second G. M. Hitchcock
(dem.) Third, j. F.. Boyd (rep) ;
Fourth, e. II. Hinshaw (rep); Fifth,
G. W. Norris rep); Sixth, M. p. Kin
kaid (rep.).
In Omaha the telephone franchise,
concerning which there was strong
fight, carried by large majority.
The Legislature, as now indicated
by returns, will be republican by about
two-thirds, insuring choice of repub-
lican senator.
Douglas county sends a solid repub-
lcan republican majority to the legis-
lature. Hitchcock, for congress, lost
his own county, but won out by ma
jorities in other counties of the dis
trict

OTHER STATES.

Illinois went republican by over
100000, the vote for Smulski, state
treasurer, footing up about 10000,
with a few districts estimated. Chi
cago gave the state ticket a plurality
of over $4,000. The legislature is I'M
doubtedly republican by good ma
Jority on joint ballot, the republicans
having a majority of the members in
both houses. This insures the return
to the senate of United States Senator
Shelby M. Cullom, who received the
majority Of the votes at the republican
state primaries.
Iowa returns Governor Cummins by
reduced majority. He gave out this
statement. 81 believe | have been
elected by plurality of substantially
10000. Discussions among those re
publicans opposed to my nomination
have been much greater than | thought
they would be and the power OF the
railroad bureau more effective than
hoped it would be. Taking into &C
count all the forces that have actively
aided the democrats in the campaign
am deeply gratifed with the out
come" Returns indicate that the
democrats have made gains in boil
the house and senate. Republican,
will have a majority in the legislator,
OF about fifty on joint ballot.
In Minnesota Governor Johnso,

The Family Pew.

Some of the most vivid of the emo
mer pilgrim to the old home were
those which awaited him in the fam.
lily pew of the old meeting house. AS
he took his seat there, and heard the
familiar note of the organ and the
clear, thin voices OF the choir, the
years melted away, the faces changed,
the new carpet faded into the well-re'
membered colors of so years ago
and he was in truth child again. His
thought went back to the time when
he was allowed to sit on the footstool
as concession to his short, restless
legs. He tasted again the luscious
raisin which found its way from
grandmother's pocket to his mouth,
and shifted the pungent southernwood
of the Sunday nosegay in neighbours
silk-mitted hand. 1t was in that pew
that he first realized to the full the
dignity of trousers. 1t was there that
he vas proudly conscious of the APP
proving glances of his friends on his
first college vacation. He recalled in
a flash the intolerable length Of the
sermon on that Thanksgiving day!
The pew has sad memories as well as
sweet ones. Most poignant of them Is
that of his mothers funeral and the
awful Sunday after 1t, when no one
nni1l1 hnnr IN fukn hnr nlnnp
and the emptiness of 1t seemed unen-
durable. Close upon that time fol-
lowed the Sunday when he made SOL
emn profession there of the faith she
had loved so well. Then come the days
of the great war, when the meeting
house blazed with flags and thrilled
with the music of bugle and drum.
The blessing of the volunteers, the
prayers for their safety, and the sad.
sad series of soldiers funerals-all
these came up to the mans memory
in the old pew Suddenly out of this
dreamland he is called by the stir of
the congregation-and is conscious
that he has missed the good pastors
sermon. But perhaps, says the Youths
Companion, God Himself has preached
to him out of life's grim struggle-in
the vision of some of his own deep ex.
peTiences and the discovery that they
are still potent to arouse the will and
confirm the faith with their rich and
tender memories.

HAIRBRUSH is A NOVELTY.
Has Electrical Storage Battery At
tached to Back

A novelty in the vanity line is an
electrical hairbrush, which differs
from the ordinary electrical hairbrush
attached by cords to battery in that
1t has a small storage battery attach
ed to the back of the brush, doing
away with the wires and separate bat
terry, and thus requiring but one hand
to manipulate it. The battery is de-
tachable and may be used for mas
sage movements for rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and the other ills which cleo
tricity is believed by some to allay.
1t also has a sponge attachment for
concentrating the current on any part
of the body. The storage battery is
In small nickel tube, easily handled
and has to be recharged every three
months. 1t comes in a leather box
with its hairbrush and sponge attach
ments and suggests a nice Christmas
gift for the woman who likes to ex-
pertinent with all the new aids to
perpetual youth and beauty.

Americans are slowly awking to the
commercial value of preserving ma
tural wonders and objects of historic
interest. An important factor in the
prosperity of Italy and other nations
of the old world is the tourist trade.
1t has been estimated that the money
spent by tourists in Italy constitutes
a third income Of that country. En-.
try OF the United States into the gal
axy of world powers has greatly in.
creased its value from the standpoint
of the tourists. remarks the Boston
Transcript, and steamship companies
report q marked increase in the last
few years in the number of foreign
visitors to this country. Hitherto
Americans have not been quick to re-
alize the necessity OF preserving and
marking the points of interest in the
various parts of the country which
will attract visitors.

To Make Dull Piano Brioht.

Alcohol is used by workers in fac
tories to remove the dull appearance
from highly polished surfaces of
pianos, but the putting on of this
liquid must be carefully DONE or the
finish will be burned, and the case
have to be dressed and polished the
same as it was when new. This
process is costly, so If alcohol is
rubbed on the dull spots with a soft
cotton or flannel cloth only little
OF the liquid should be used. Put on
with a light stroke across the sur
face, then should follow brisk rub
with soft silk or cheesecloth rag.

Kansas is close. The reelection OF

Kansas Is close. The reelection OF
Governor e. w. Hoch (rep.) seems
reasonably certain, although the demo
cratic committee still claims the state
for William A. Harris by a plurality
of $500. Big democratic gains have
teen made in the lower house of the
legislature, but that body will still be
republican and member of the dom
mating party will be elected United
States senator.
Utah-That Joseph Howell, republi-
cen, is reelected congressman at large
from Utah by majority of 10000
over o. w. Powers, democrat, and
Thomas Weir, American, Is certain.
Joseph e. Prick, republican for JUS
tice of the supreme court, will have
smaller, but equally safe lead In Salt
Lake City the vote stands: Howell, T.
COS; Powers, 4.644; and Weir, 1922.
Twenty-eight of the forty-three county
precincts outside the city give Howell
.,41S; Powers, 1863; and Weir, 696.
North Dakota-We concede defeat of
Gov. Sarles, by Mr. Burke, his demo-
cratic opponent, by probable plur-
ality of 2,000," said Chairman l.. b.
| Hanna Of the republican state central
committee this evening. I'VE also
concede the defeat of John Knauf our
candidate for Judge of the supreme
court, by Judge Fisk on the democratic
ticket by 5000. We are confident that
the rest Of the republican ticket has
been elected"
Montana-Until Silver Bow county,
from which the returns are slow, is
completed, reliable figures on the out
come in the state will not be available.
Everything indicates, however, that
Charles N. Pray will have easily 5000
majority over Walsh democrat; and
Smith, republican, has about 10000
over McClernan, democrat. The legis
lature will be about fifteen republican
majority on joint ballot.
According to the latest offlcIaI coun,
in the election of constitutional dele

Science and Music.

Although we speak loosely of sweet
sounds as musical, music proper ex-
lists in nature not at all 1t belongs
utterly to art. When Lorenzo said to
Jessica: There's not the smallest orb
which thou beholdst but in his mo-
ton like an angel sings" he spoke
beautifully, but in metaphor. Music
Is the most artificial of the arts, and
therefore to some minds, like that of
Pater, the purest, since form and
meaning are Identical. 1t has also
been generally accepted as the most
religious. Beethoven exclaimed: II
know that God is nearer to me in my
music than to others" And Luther
said: Next to theology, l give to
music the highest place and honor;
and we see how David and all the
saints have wrought their godly
thoughts into verse, rhyme and song"
1t seems rather strange, therefore,
says Golfers, that this art, being the
most ethereal, should be the one
which promises to be most mechan-
ically produced. It's progress has
been dependent upon mechanical In
vention, until the orchestra reached
its present state, and now every effort
OF inventive science Is turned on the
elimination of the human player
Whether or not this effort shall sue
coed entirely in giving the very best
it Is certain to result in giving music
of considerable quality larger place
in thte lives of millions, and there
fore 1t ought to be one OF the most
spiritually valuable directions of mod
ern scientific progress.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia e. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the

Servinu Mushrooms

A delicious way to serve mushrooms
is to butter dish and sprinkle with a
first layer of bread crumbs and alter
nate layers of mushrooms and bread
crumbs with bits of butter, pepper and
salt and a liberal supply of butter over
the last layer of bread crumbs. Rich
milk or half cream poured over each
layer makes proper finish, and mush-
rooms so cooked are fit for-for those
who enjoy them.
