My dear sir:
l notice by a recent issue OF the

Popular Teachers Leave.

Miss Mott, who has taught the eighth
grade for five years, and Miss Moonan,
teacher in the fifth grade for four
years, have both declined to serve
longer, and will leave at the close OF

their many friends. Both were real

ed, grandma selects the needle farth-
est from the spool, holding it gently
with thumb and forefinger until she
has, with the other hand, pulled as
long a thread as she wishes, then re-
moves the needle from cushion and
breaks off thread. The used needles
are quilted into cushion at one side,
ready for bright eyes to thread again
some time.
This device is also most useful for
blind persons who like to sew. Place
a spool of " re thread on one peg and
thread from it a row of needles stuck
in the cushion. Put a spool of black
thread on the other, and thread a sec
ond row of needles, the thread passing
through on the opposite direction.
When ready to sew take the needle
farthest from the spool. draw gently
away until a thread long enough is in
hand, then break, and when the thread
is used quilt in the needle to be
threaded again, and use the next one.

Against County Division

A Number of men who came
mp from Tllden and Otis this
week have expressed themselves
very emphatlcally against the
creation of Power County. O.. E.
Nelson, the merchant and post
master of Otis, Jas. Christensen,
o. F. Rice, Harry Hamilton and
Jas. Johnson in discussing the
matter said that they did not
think any of the settlers at TiIden
and Otis or below there would
favor the division unless it was
the new settlers neal American
Falls or men who have holdings
in American Falls and want to
boom their property.
They quoted S. L. Payne, one
of the oldest settlers in all that
region as being decidedly opposed
to the division. Mr.. Payne's
ranch would come in the new
county, and when a committee
from American Falls waited on
him to get his support for the
measure he turned them down
so hard they did not come any
further north.
Blaine County has sent a pro.
test to the Legislature.

A e'.npIe Sewing Device That Is In.
genious and Very Useful.

Grandmother's eyes are growing
dim and she finds trouble in threading
needles easily. Here is a simple de.
vice that may be easily made and one
which she will greatly appreciate as
a Christmas present:
First take an oblong piece of wood
nine inches long and about one and
thr quarters wide. The wood should
be half an inch thick, so that the peg
to hold the spool of thread may be
driven firmly in. Finish the wood Of
base with a little black-Walnut or
cherry stain and varnish.
Now select a narrow oblOng paste
board box, fill it with bran for the
cusFi@", and stretch a cover of cotton
goes V it, letting the cotton pass
under the box at sides and ends, and
sewing it strongly. A silk or bright
colored wooden cover is put over this
and the cushion is finished with a
frill of lace or ribbon.
Glue the box cushion on the wooden
base. Whenever grandma has a GER
tain piece of sewing to do, some pair
of bright eyes can fit up the cushion
with a paper of needles the desired
size, threaded with the silk or thread
grandma wishes to use, without break
ing the thread.
The needles are placed in an even
row in the Gus, ion. Be SURF the needle
eyes are all crossWise of the cushion,

Coverings for Waists or Dresses.

For waists or dresses which require
folding, a covering is useful to keep
away the dust Have some soft pieces
of muslin about a yard square, either
of silkoline, lawn or thin sateen. Bind
all edges with an inch-wide ribbon or
a wide tape. Wrap or cover each
waist separately, or, if need be, the
dress entire. Articles of this kind
should be washable and will last for
some time.
Other ~"needfuls' appreciated by
women of dainty tastes are veil
cases Of linen, trimmed with lace
with the center embroidered or mon
ogram worked; handkerchief cases
made on silk, covered with boiling
cloth and then painted or worked:
glove boxes made on the same invit
ing plan; and de lightful sachets for
the bureau and for different gar
ments.

tonne, but it has no opening. Take
sharp scisso"s and make a lengthwise
cut in the middle of the material. BE
sure not to cut too close to the edge
Then at each corner make diagonal
cuts as close as you can without the
material fraying. Sometimes the
pieces thus formed on the side are
wider than necessary and can be cut
off.
Now put the paste on the inside
edges of the frame back of the open
ing, and fold your material back on it.
This part of the work is very partic-
ular, becaus nothing looks uglier
IL an a wrinEled cover. BE sure each
time you paste a side that it is
stretched tightly and smoothly. In
pasting around an oval frame make
a number of Sits in the material so
as to keep it smooth.
After your frame is covered, place
it under heavy books, and let it stay
night. This will prevent warp
ing.
The next day paste the back on
and again put weights on top.
All this sands more difficult than
it is. A little care and extreme neat
ness is all that is required to make
your work very smooth and well done.

Statements are now appearing in va
rious state papers praising the Yer
mont exhibit at the jamestown expo
sition and criticizing the visitors who
deigned to find fault publicly with the
showing made by this state. Most OF
the pleas in defence are issued by mem
bers of the jamestown exposition com
mission, although few of them are
from evidently unprejudiced persons.
In view of these conflicting opinions
it is somewhat difficult to settle IN
ones own mind just how Vermont S
affairs at the exposition stand. We do
not believe that the persons who char
acterized this state s showing as far
cical and disgraceful did so simply for
the pleasure of knocking nor are we
inclined to the opinion that the defen-
ders of the show are classifying delib-
erately. A more reasonable assump-
ton is that the exhibit which a few
weeks ago looked so cheap and tawdry
has been patched into fairly presenta-
BILE shape and is now perhaps as credi.
table as can be expected. If this is SO
the fault finding had its value in awak-
ening the commission to its response
