May Throw Light on History.

While excitement regarding the Ho-
henlohe memoirs is still rife in Eu-
rope, there is subdued talk in British
military circles regarding the forth
coming appearance of a book which
will contain some of the late duke of
Cambridge,s voluminous correspond
ence. A diary kept by Emperor Fred
erick of Germany is In safekeeping in
England and the day may not be far
distant when 1t also will be published.
Correct answers to numerous histor-
zeal enignas may be expected from
such a publication.

wHlskEY A VETERANS SHAME.
His Good Wife Pleaded for Hin Be.
fore the Police Court Judge.

"You are charged with being drunk
and disorderly. Are you guilty or not
guilty?"
Recently in police court the Judge
asked this question of an old man,
dressed in a suit of Union blue, says
the Kansas City Star. He looked at
the magistrate through a pair of steel.

A woman rose from a seat in the
rear of the courtroom. She came for
ward and stood beside the veteran.
Her hair was white. She put a tremb-
ling hand on the arm of the old man.
Never mind, pappie, it's all right"
she said.
The prisoner lifted his head. He
did not glance toward the woman.
She took his hand in hers.
Hold up your right hands and be
sworn" the judge said.
Il was called to the home of this
old couple yesterday afternoon" a
policeman said "and l found the old
man running amuck with a butcher
knife. He had driven his wife out Of

of him. He was drunk
What have you to say?" the judge
inquired, addressing the woman.
Judge, he don't mean no harm;
it's just the w%hiskey," she said, and
the tears welled up in her eyes. "He
gives me every cent of his pension
money every month and he tends to
the COW and takes keer of the truck
patch. If he'd only let whiskey alone
he be the best man in the world.
And, judge, we've lived together nigh

"Will you go down there and stay?'

promised.
But he can come home arter he's

Laundry work at hone would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
or strength than other makes.

Thinks Clergy Are losing Ground.

Mr.. Charles Booth, the great social

The extraordinary popularity of fine

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

Seeks Practical knowledge.

The Montenegrin minister of agri-
culture is a practical man. Poultry
breeding is at present engaging his at

q hen sitting to hatch a special brood
of chickens. There are now nine
chickens chirping round his chair.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1907-01-24

Defiance Starch is the latest inven-
ton in that line and an Improvement
on all other makes; It is more eco
homical, does better work, takes less
time. Get it from any grocer.

With a smooth iron and Deianoe
Starch, you can launder your shirt
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.

Give Defiance Starch a fair trial
try it FOR both hot and cold starching,
and If you don't think you do better
work, in less time and at smaller cost,
return it and your grocer will give
you back your money.

were dashed, however, when a vet
