Halted Presidents Dinner.

Ex-Senator Cockrell probably Is the only man in Washington who ever kept President Roosevelt waiting at dinner. It was one of the cabinet din- ners that were given by the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock three years ago. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as did all the other guests except Sena- tor Cockrell.
 After a delay of almost an hour Mrs Hitchcock invited her guests to the dtn- ing room and dispatched messenger to the residence of Senator Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad in his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating him. self that he could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner In his cal endar In large and attractive hand writing, but had forgotten to turn leaf and was, accordingly, day be- hind time. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension ended in big laugh at the dear old senator.-Denver Times

 Sidney Dallas of Melbourne told a group of reporters In Fremont Temple, Boston, this temperance story "A Mel bourne husband stayed out till about a. m. This man, when he got home, thought that he would go boldly to the bathroom and take bath. That would remove from his wife's mind any sus- picion as to his condition. It would show her, In a word, that he was all right. So he undressed, filled the tub. and plunged In. Hot and enfevereu as he was, he enjoyed the bath. As he splashed and scrubbed and puffed, he heard slight noise, and, looking up, say his wife In the doorway. His wife was regarding him with an expression of unspeakable contempt. He was rath- CT amazed at that. But he said noth- ing. He lowered his head and went on scrubblng. Well, what are you doingT she asked. Cant you see what I'm do- ingY he answered. He rubbed up some more father. I'm taking bath She sniffed and said as she turned to go: Why don't you take off your under clothes, then?"

 Outside, the leaves rustled beneath the starlit, frosty sky. and the wind noaned ftfully around the solitary old gray house. I knew that the sky was cold and star-gemmed, because could peep up at 1t through the unshuttered window from my resting place on the little table. Inside, the nrelight danced on the oak-paneled wall of the low ceiled room, and Joyce, from the cozy depths of her chair, watched the play of the fickering shadows among the gleaming old silver on the tea table be- fore her.
 Her lovely face, framed in Its halo of dead-gold hair, was very sad and wist- full. I could read her thoughts, for I possessed certain occult powers, owing to my eastern origin. She was living over again the sad events of the last two weeks.
 She seemed still half dazed from the suddenness of 1t all Perhaps she could scarcely realize even yet that her dear mother, her loving lifelong companion, had been taken from her forever.
 -I cannot go on like this any longer her thoughts ran; "the loneliness would drive me mad! Was any girl ever In such a sorry plight, I wonder? Of course, I always knew that mothers income was only for her lifetime; but then never thought of her dying, nor did she, except In the dim future.
 And now here I am, after the fu- neral expenses and the doctors bill have been settled and the servants paid off, with exactly ten-pound note be- tween myself and starvation-literally sta rvationl The house Is my own, truly, and I have clothes to last me a twelvemonth or more," glancing down ruefully at her plain but dainty mourn ing.

What has prosperity done for usi Grievous to say, with all our fine schools as large percentage of the pop ulatlon as ever doesn't know how to crease Its trousers, eschew hair po- mades and scent" and avoid carrying Its handkerchief In It's hip pocket. It Is safe to say that in our rush for mere material comforts and life problems we have sadly neglected the essentials. The realization of our fine dream to be the greatest nation on earth will never come until the dissemination Is com plete of the knowledge that while you may call your maid by her first name she must not reciprocate, that you must not eat things with your spoon that you can eat more awkwardly with your fork, that you must not wear spats with your overalls and that a reversible cuff Is in contravention of the seventeenth amendment

WAY TO CURE A COLD.

simple Home Remedies Will Often
 Break Up the Attack.
 It is the easiest thing In the world to catch a cold. One does imprudent things and next thing finds ones self in possession of or rather possessed by a horrible attack of grippe.
 AS rule the simplest remedies for a cold are the surest. There Is nothing for carrying of the congestion like a hot bath, hot drink and a good sweat. Do this 1t night.
 Another efficacious method Is to snuff up warm salt water. But one must not go out right after this or the cold will be aggravated.
 If 1t Is a tight cold In the head rub the bridge of the nose thoroughly with yaselins at night. This simple remedy sometimes works like a charm.
 It Is of the utmost importance during a cold to keep the system from becom- Ing clogged. The old, senseless maxim, Feed cold and starve a fever" Is re- sponsible for many bad complexions and prolonged colds. The proper meth cd Is to eat very lightly and even par tially fast.
 Rub a little camphorated cream on the chapped lips and nose. If there are fever sores moisten little powdered borax and apply. For the aching limbs a good rubbing with alcohol or spirits of camphor Is excellent
 If necessary to go out next morning rub the body vigorously with alcohol and a Turkish towel before venturing forth. It Is of the utmost importance to avoid getting chilled after the hot bath.
 If you will use plenty of stewed fruit in your diet, eat fresh figs, drink hot water on arising and before meals and take nine or ten glasses of water during the day you will be taking the best possible measures to get rid of q cold

not think I ever saw such perfect imi- tations!"
 'Oh, but they are not limitations They are genuine, assure you!" cor rected Joyce.
 My dear child, are you not rather unwise to have anything 50 valuable lying about? Real stones of this size must be worth quite a sum of money !"
 "I have never thought about It's mon- etary value. It was a present from some one for whom I had a very deep regard, and Is associated with many very dear memories. I think 1t Is quite safe. You see this Is my own private sanctum, and very few people beside myself ever come here"  In that same night, just as the clock tn the corner had ceased chiming 8, heard a stealthy step outside in the hall, and the door of the room I was in was cautiously opened.
 I could just discern the figure of a man groping his way toward the tea Fable, where the beautiful silver service erested on Its tray. He commenced quickly to transfer the silver pieces into Ia large canvas bag. Then clutching me roughly, he thrust me Into the dark hess of an outside pocket, where every thing became blank.
 My next recollection was of being jerked violently out of the mans pocket and landing in the mud of silent gas lit street He hurried on-he was run. ning-leaving me behind. prey to many fears, splashed and begrimed, and wondering what my fate would be.
 Later on the sleeping street began to arouse. At last postman saw me, stopped and picked me up. muttering

Comparatively speaking, what an af- fluent and Independent gentleman the farmer is The city man Is the vic tim of the butcher, the baker and the poor gas maker. He pays for every. thing he gets except air and would be glad to pay for that if he could get the country kind. Not so the farmer. Though his fields are broad and his fences high and strong, he has neigh borly feeling for everyone who lives within ten miles of him. His pastures and poultry yards supply his meat and eggs, his garden fills his vegetable cel- lar every fall and his fruit house Is stocked with fresh canned and cured fruits In abundance. He works leisure iy through the spring and early sum mer, rushes little during harvest and then spends the winter doing the chores and cutting his years fuel.

As there Is no royal road to learning so there Is no certain formula for ma terial success In life. All the success ful men give out prescriptions for the attainment of wealth or other things to be desired, but these prescriptions are obviously faulty, since they do not succeed save in few cases. Most men remain poor in spite of them. The ad- vice of successful men is usually as use less as it Is platitudinoua This Is be- cause 1t Jumps all men together, where as every man Is a case by himself. Here Is E. H. Hartman, for instance, mak- ing public the secret of his success Il just attend to business" he says; that Is how I succeed Anybody can do the same" Yet all of us know hundreds of men who, though they attend to business as faithfully as they can. are not successful even in a modest way. They toll early and late, they neglect DO honest effort, yet they live and die failures 90 far as material success Is concerned Mir. Harriman's system Is thus intellectual with respect to a large proportion of men, and he seems to realize it, for he goes on to amplify and qualify his advice very materially. T keep in touch with matters In which I am concerned" he says land meet the turn in events at the proper time. Any man of reasonable intelligence with ability to appreciate the golden in his endeavors." This puts a very diff ferent complexion upon It. Attention to business alone will not suffice. The aspirant for great things must also meet the turn of events at the proper time, be must selze the golden oppor- tunity and know when to seize 1t. Assiduity must be supplemented by qualities which are not common to all men. And 1t Is In these qualities that success resides. Successful men who, like Hartman, give advice to those who wish to emulate them would do better If they put the matter another way. They should say that men can not succeed without energy and indus try, but they should not assert that those qualities alone will command success. For the truth is that success in material things Is often the result of qualities which are not entirely ad- mirable, even though they are rare. Al for srlccess in matters not material It can be attained by every one. A man may live all his life In poverty to die rich at last in those things which can not be bought for money. This is sue cess which can not only be deserved, but which can be commanded.

A PARENTS PLEA.

My little boy Is eight years old,
 He goes to school each day; He doesn't mind the tasks they set
 They seem to him but play. He heads his class at ratia work,
 And also takes the lead At making dinky paper boats
 But l wish that be could read They teach him physiology,
 And, oh, 1t chills our hearts To hear our prattling innocent
 Mix up his inward parta He also learns astronomy
 And names the stars by night Of course he's very up to date,
 But I wish that he could writA They teach him things botanical,
 They teach him how to draw, He babbles of mythology
 And gravitation's law; And the discoveries of science
 With him are quite fad, They tell me he's a clever boy,
 But I wish that be could add -T.ifa

Her pride had forbidden her to make the slightest sign, and she had borne up bravely until we were back In her pret- ty bedroom, quite alone. And we'll knew then how much she had really cared
 A few weeks later she heard he had gone abroad-gone without a word or a sign.

Homesteads for the Asking.


 The United States service for re- claiming arid lands expects to redeem a total area about equal to that of the State of Wyoming, or more than twice the size of Ohio-an of which will be- come available for the production of crops and the maintenance of a pros- porous population, says Robert Frank lin in the Technical World Magazine. His article "Homesteads for the Ask ing" Is a startling account of the fine lands that are open to settlers, which Uncle Sam will give free to those who wish to make their homes in the coun- try, but which are neglected and ig- nored by the toiling masses of the great cities, who should be only too eager to grasp the opportunity. He tells of the great irrigation projects on foot in the West, by which millions of acres will be redeemed for the farmer. He tells many interesting stories of gov ernment engineers and irrigation men how they travelled unknown canyons and traversed miles upon miles of land without water or food, In their ef- forts to ascertain the best way of get ting water to the settlers. The whole article Is stirring tale of endeavor upon the part of the government which has opened tremendous opportunities for the farmer. Eventually some 60 million acres of desert lands will be converted in this manner into the rich est kind of farming country.
