Hartman and the Yrcslucnt.
The statement of Mr.. Hartman that It
his solicitation or at least on his
suggestion that he furnished 100000, and
aided in securing the sum OF 100000 In
the last presidential campaign has met with
n most emphatic denial by President Roose-
Welt That the money WAS furnished was
asserted at the time by Judge Parker. but
the absolute proof not then rendered. Since
$4,000 has been returned to one of the in
surance companies.
Cortelyou, who was chairman OF the Re-
publican Campaign Committee, denies def
mite know ledge OF the facts. as the funds
passed through the hands OF G. n. Bliss.
chairman of tho New York State Committee,
An effort is to be made to secure publicity

A Friend In Need,

Immediately after the earthquake in
California in 1906 relief stations We're
established in San Francisco and Oak
land. Supplies poured in from neigh
boring ranches, other towns and other
states, but almost all that was sent
needed to be cooked before 1t could be
eaten, and of course i'll many instances
homeless wanderers were In immediate
need of food. The volunteer cooks did
the best they could They boiled great
kettles of soup, caldrons of coffee and
oceans Of tea. but it was impossible to
cook rapidly enough to supply all COM
ers. Late one afternoon when the
cooked food supply was running low
and long line of hungry persons still
waited to be fed a wagon halted before
one OF these stations, and bluff old
ranchman addressed the lady in charge.
Say said he, 1--WE brought you 300
dozen, of the best eggs in the state, but
you won't need to cook them. They're
already cooked. I've been boiling eggs
since O'Clock this morning."

In the year 1900 Margaret of Ma
varre wrote the following recipe for n
happy life" More than four centurie';
have passed since. but wisdom is eve,
young. and her quaint words are full
of good counsel now as when she pen
ned them: TT yeu would have happy
life. take three ounces of patience and
three Of repose and mix together with
pound of peace Of conscience. Add
as much as the hand can hold Of inno-
cent pastimes and Of hope and pleas
ant memories three good drams Mois-
ten these with the pleasure distilled
from a cheerful heart. Add of loves
magic few drops, but be sparing of
these. for sometimes love brings Il
flame that naught but tears can drown.
Grind all these things together and
mix with an ounce of merriment to en-
liven. Yet all this may not bring hap
piness unless in your prisons you lift
your voice to him who holds the gift of
health"

Acrohatic Toilets.

Marvellous at 1t may seem. New York
women. have lately discovered way
OF fastening their waists up the back
without calling for assistance. Though
not lacking In generosity. they became
so tired of the outstretched palm of the

1t is time to guard their pockets. The
Gotham woman discovered that If she
put her blouse ON hind side before.
with the sleeves hanging free, it could
be fastened from top to bottom with
the exception Of the hooks at the neck
and then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without unduly
straining the fastenings. So simple,
So strange that no one had thought OF
1t before. Or is 1t possible other WON

Pacific was being built, some cowboys
came in on a tear and shot up the

railroad. There was roundup. and
the cowboys were brought before
Squire Dean. There was much testi-
mony, and the trial was long. At its
end he gravely said:
THE testimony shows tblt these
three Cinnamon were killed by some
of the men on trial. 1t is pretty clear
who did the fatal shooting. but the

The Siacksmith's Sleeves.

An aged woman was standing before
a beautiful picture of blacksmith i'll
local department store. The picture
was a remarkable painting and had
evoked so much praise that hundreds
of visitors thronged around it. Th..
figure was that of u village black
smith standing at his forge, which was
blazing with a light that Illuminated
the whole room. The woman came to
the canvas with several younger wom-
en-, apparently her children. All stood
with rapt attention before the work of
art, contemplating the light effects and
the beautiful shadows. One of tie
younger women asked of the elderly
one what she thought Of the picture.
"Well, it's all right but the sleeves"
she replied. 81 lived il the country a
long time, and l know something that
the painter with all his KNOWN didn't
