Interesting Letter from
Ira B.. Casteel, Now So

Climate of Florida.
J. F. Crawford, Esq.
Saratoga. Wyo.

My Dear Friend:-In this en-
ervating climate it is an awful
task to write, but suppose / will
have to keep my promise.
When l left Wyoming the latter
part of January it was quite cold,
but on arriving in Denver it was
warm like October weather. After
taking in part of the stock show,
departed for the south via the
Burlington route.
Through Nebraska the weather
was warm and nice, no snow. Ar
rived in ST. Joseph, Mo-, in the
morning. This gave me a day
light ride through Missouri to st.
Louis. 1t was a cold, raw day,
with a little furry of snow. | was
very pleasantly entertained by a
gentleman from Missouri" who
cited me to everything, and he
told me all about the country and
its wonderful as we sat
in the observation car.
Arriving in st. Louis in the
evening, where the night was spent
in the Terminal hotel, at Union
Station, the largest and most mag
nificent station in the world. Sixty
four railroad tracks under one
immense glass roof, where trains
arrive and depart for all points in
the United States. | left st Louis
in the afternoon on the Florida
Limited, via the Louisville d
Nashville railroad. After crossing
the Mississippi on the great Eads
bridge, was whirled along through
the rich farming country of south
ern Illinois, where winter wheat
is the principle crop.
That night our train passed
through Indiana, Kentucky and
the greater part of Tennessee. On
arising in the morning | found we
were going into the historical old
town of Chattanooga. Just south
of the town is Lookout Mountain
that was once the scene of a great
conflict. 1t is a very beautiful
country around here; the rather
low mountains covered with south
ern pine and through which runs
the placid Tennessee river.
A little way out of Chattanooga
the road passes Chickamauga. l
did not stop at any of these places
as it was cold, but will take them
in on my return. Soon after pass

WASHINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY
Pupils of Public School
Celebrate Event with
Banquet 80 Col. Craw-
ford's Address.

in a very fitting and pleasant
manner by giving up the entire
afternoon of last Thursday to a
banquet held in the basement of
the Presbyterian church.
The primary and Intermediate
grades held their feast first, COM
mencing at 1870. There was an
abundance of good things and the
children had a most happy time,
after which they retired to the
school building and completed
their program with singing, reci-
t%ations, etc, appropriate to the
occasion.
Then the pupils of the grammar
and high school rooms began their
feast which lasted until nearly
5 o'clock. The affairs of the day
were in the hands of a committee,
consisting of Miss Frances White,
.\deline McPhail and Paul Dog
,ett, who were assisted by Miss
Viva Hardin and Miss Gertrude
Priquet. The tables we're nicely
arranged and all had a merry time.
MI. and Mrs. j. F. Crawford
were the special guests of the oc-
casion. Prof. Stearns acted as
toastmaster in a most happy nan
ner. There were so seated and all
were served by the committee and
their assistants.
The following is the program:
lst-....... "Hurrah for Washington
Song by School
2nd-......." Tribute to Washington
Paul Doggett.

11th-.... "The Sword of Bunker Hill
Solo by Prof. Stearns.
l2th-................ ...."America."
by the whole School.
The address OF Col. Crawford,
the special guest, was the most
enjoyable part of the afternoon.
He, who. is the children's friend,
and also a gray haired veteran,
carrying with him the honorable
scars of the terrible civil war, and
who loves the. old flag and our
American patriots as only an old
veteran can, was surely the one to
tell the story and to impress upon
the minds of those present the
greatness of the noble Washington.
In the words of Mr.. Crawford it
vas Washington who fought the
battles and endured the hardsips
pf the war of the Revolution. sus-
tanned by the consciousness that
he was right. 1t was Washington
Who held the men together aud
made soldiers of them, even though
their feet left marks of blood upon
the frozen ground. England and
America We're compared and the
blessings of liberty and indepen-
dence extolled, which gives to
every boy and girl the opportunity
to rise-an opportunity not given
by the mother country. He ended
by speaking of the battles of the
war, and haw the old soldier loves
the stars and stripes and express
ing the belief that every boy pres.
ent was a true patriot, ready tc
sacrifice his life if his country
needs him.
The banquet was a great trea'
to the children and too muct

ABOUT FLOOR COVERINGS.
Denim Nay Be Used to Cover Center
Of Worn carpet-Rugs Of
Home-Naks.

1t is real economy to cover tho
floor OF two or more. rooms with the
same kind of carpet, then when they
become worn through the center the
best part can be put together to make
one carpet.
Many housekeepers use y large
quare Of denim in the middle OF the
room when the floor is covered with
thin carpet. or with one that is bad
ly worn. 1t saves the carpet wonder
fully and is made by sewing several
widths of denim together. Be sure
and select a denim that will go well
with the carpet. 1t ia said that denim
itself makes very satisfactory floor
covering for bedrooms II several thick
nesses of paper are placed underneath.
1t is real blessing to the careful
housewife that rugs continue to DC
SO popular as floor coverings. as there
are 80 many ways of making them ut
home by using the cast-on and out
grown garments. II liz good plan to
have the carpet balls woven into rugs
instead Of the old fashioned rag car
pets.
The rugs look very neat and pretty
II they have solid middle of some
plain color with a contrasting border.
The middle may no of the hit and
miss and the border of a plain color.
l saw two very handsome rugs recent
ly. One had the middle of solid
green with rich dark red border.
The other had blue center with a
striped white border.
White and faded cotton pieces can
b. colored any of the bright shades
with the diamond dyes for cotton and
the faded wooden pieces with the dyes
for WOOL The woven rugs are much
easier to make than any other home
made rug, all that Is needed is to cut
the rags evenly, sew and wind them
into balls, and for q few cents yard
the carpet weaver will do the rest

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

II alum is added to the paste used in
covering boxes with paper or for scrap
books moths or mice will not invade
them.
Ink and fruit stnins may be removed
from white linens and cottons by soak
ing them for few hours in kerosene.
then washing in hot water.
Allow a shorter raising for bread to
be cooked by steam. since the dough
will rise during the cooking because of
the lower temperature employed.
You can free moth-infested closet OF
the Creatures" larvae and eggs. by
pouring hot vinegar into red-hot iron
or tin pan set upon hot bricks in the
closet. Shut the door as soon as the
vinegar Kisses upon the heated surface
of the pan and don't open again that
day.
| In shaking blankets care must always
be taken to catch them about foot from
the selvedge. otherwise risk is run Of
tearing them.
Skewer baked fish with thin slices Of
salt pork or bacon. Fresh fsh will be
improved in flavor II fried in fat used
previously for the same purpose.
Coffee and tea stains, II rubbed with
butter and afterward washed In hot
soapsuds, will come out, leaving the
table linen quite white and fresh.
To have ones kitchen free from
smoke or odor when frying griddle
cakes try adding one teaspoonful Of
melted lard to the batter and do not
grease the griddle.
II you suspect that pickles have been
colored with copper. you can satisfy
yourself with very simple test Put
some pieces of the pickle into vial
containing mixture Of equal parts Of
ammonia and water. II there is any
copper present the liquid will become
blue in color.-Chicago Daily News.

In many kitchens the remnant of
the morning portion Of coffee is left
in the pot on the back of the range
for a mid-forenoon cup for the cook.
Not only is the rank flavor extracted
from the housekeeping grounds, bur
a certain deposit is made upon the
sides of the pot which is hard to re-
move, even by the most thorough
washing. This deposit, IL left on, will
surely faint the coffee that Is subse-
quently made in the pot and injure the
flavor of the best berries to be had.
The pot should be washed and scalde.l
every time 1t is used. II any liquid
is left, it should be strained off into
either porcelain, china or earthen-
ware vessel, or into glass Jar, when
it may be added to any new brew
which IL made.

Adolescence,

in order to act with WISDOM" says
American Motherhood, parents should
understand the physical. mental and
moral significance of adolescence;
should realize that 1t is crisis of
grave import to the boy or girl. Most
mothers do recognize that this is to
the girl critical time. and they watch
with much anxiety the physical m
folding of their daughters, guard their
health, have patience with their moods
and tempers. and overlook many per-
versities with the feeling that "she
will be better by-and-by.' Few par
ents realize that to the boy the period
between IA and 81 is equally grave;
that 1t is marked by physical changes
of equal Importance; that the crisis
is for him even of graver import, be-
cause the inner forces work with
greater energy and the outer tempta-
tons come with stronger power. This
Is the time when the father should
relax the hand OF authority, and ofYer
the hand of friendship, treating The
boy with patience and wisdom OF
which he stands sorely in need"

There Is Nothing More Irritating
Than the Above Afiiction-An
Effective Remedy.

One of our readers sends us the
following: Make salve of equal
parts of gum camphor and lard. melt
ing both together on the stove; an
old tablespoon does very well to melt
it in, and 1t must not be allowed to
get very hot or the camphor will
burn. but 1t must be hot enough to
melt readily, else the camphor will
evaporate and your salve will be use
less. AS soon as the melted salve
cools. 1t must be used. 1t must be
made fresh every time 1t is needed.
Dissolve a pinch Of sal soda in hot
water. and battle the face with tho
water, also wash out the nostrils.
Twist little strip of cloth into a
swab, dip 1t into the warm salve
and put 1t as far back in the nostril
as possible. Use the salve several
times day, and especially at bedtime
Eat rather lightly of light, nourish-
ings foods: avoid anything that disa-
grees with your stomach. especially
