Realized the Big Possibilities and

Once upon time there was Man,
who in his youth was reared upon q
farm located near Small Town Of
Great Promise. Two weeks in each
year when he was not saving wood,
feeding the stock or picking potatoes,
he was allowed to attend the little red
schoolhouse in the town. BY hard la
Dor during the day, and persistently
reading a few old books which were
heirlooms in his family, and each week
absorbing the intelligence contained
in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time
he could mark down his age at 1S
years, had accumulated sufficient
knowledge to run away from home
He wandered to a large city and there
his great muscular power assisted to
gain for himself position as Chief
Scrubber in a large store He had not
acquired the cigarette habit, and his
faithfulness to his scrubbing brush,
and his unwillingness' to know all
about his employers business, soon at.
tracted the attention of the Old Man,
and at the end of year he was pro.
noted to Head Rustler in the shipping
department at the large salary of eight
dollars a week.
His disregard for scooting when the
closing time came, and his total lack
'of swelled head so pleased the Old
Man that from time to time the ambi
tious youth was advanced until at the
end of six years he was drawing the
biggest salary paid by the house, and

you?"
There was no answer
II know what it is," he said. Its

OF course, it's embarrassing for you.
You don't care anything about the

Crav Shades.

IN striped fabrics some of the most
pleasing color schemes are in grav.
varying shades being used. If a hit
OF contrasting color is introduced it is
used sparingly, and employed as a
trimming for the neck and vest, with
probably a suggestion added to the
cuffs. Bat, faume and the light French
grays occupy place all to themselves
in the realm of spring modes, and are
quite as pretty in this fabric as in the
stripes and checks. The new male
greens are also exceedingly pretty. but

To Keen Dresses Fresh.

One of the incest ways of keeping
dresses, especially evening ones,
fresh is to sew throughout the lining
tiny perfumed silk sachets. Any odd
bit of silk does for this purpose.
Make the sachet about one inch
square. Put in a layer of soft white
wadding, into which has been
sprinkled some sachet powder. Sew
up and tack firmly to various places
in skirt and bodice. This gives the
delicate elusive fragrance to your
frock which is rather hard to attain
when liquid perfume is used. 1t also
has the additional benefit of keeping
away destructive moths when the
garment is laid aside for time.

Character in Hats.

A milliner with turn for philoso-
ply declares that woman's charac-
ter is infallibly revealed by the hat
she wears. There, are audacio1s
hats that reveal the. wearer as eau
tious and secretive.s} AS a rule, a
woman of strong personality may be
trusted to choose q hat to suit her.
She is strong enough to withstand the
temptation to wear something merely
fashionable. The vulgar self-assertive
woman, generally selects loud OBJ
trusive hat, but even that !! prefer to
the funeral style Of headgear affected

What did he say?"
Il don't know that I can rehears<

main point was that, If married you
he'd disinherit ME. My allowance

a sure thing of it, didn't he?"
She turned her head slowly, and
looked far away out of the dingy win
dow, beyond the street, past the whiri
of the great town, into the unknowr
distance.
"Yes,' she said, several times He

BAGS FOR SUMMER
Those of Linen Embroidery
Will Be the Vogue, and
Can Easily Be Made
at Home.

One of the fads of the summer will
undoubtedly be the handbags of EN-.
broidered linen. 1t is therefore we'll
that the woman who can embroider
and make things neatly should employ
her leisure moments in creating one
OF these bags. The idea of linen hand
bags is not an original one, but is the
revival of an old fashion which has
been in vogue in Italy and other parts
OF the continent for many years. The
Italian linen bags carried by ladies' of
quality are wonderful pieces of needle
work and are worth fabulous sums.
They are generally rather ample in
size and are solid mass of the heavy.
Intricate Italian embroidery which
though done on linen, scarcely shows
a half inch of that fabric left intact
after the work is finished. The dec.
oration, intricate and minutely per.
feet, turns the solid fabric into what
resembles piece of handsome, heavy
lace. The incrusted embroidery is
mingled with openwork, but all is SO
heavily and handsomely done that the
substantial quality of the bag is in.
creased twofold by the handiwork.
The bags shown in the American
shops for ordinary use are much sim.
pier, the embroidery design, although
heavy and we'll done, covering only a
small portion of the bag and being
comparatively open in design. These
bags are made o; pure white linen
generally, whereas the Italian bags
are in the true linen color, which adds
to their beauty. The new bags are
IN many shapes-oblong, with the
length up and down, square or larger
across than they are in depth. They
are also rounded at the bottom. with
pointed tops, etc. Some of them are
drawn up through casing with a
white cord and others are neatly fin.
lshed with flap, after the manner of
pocketbooks. They are of heavy
linen and double, and the embroidery
is quite heavy

POINTS on IRONING LACE.
Well to Remember, If You Desire the
Best Results.

One of the points to remember when
ironing lace is to iron it well to the
width, so that the whole design of the
lace will show clear and distinct and
look as near like the new material as
possible.
To do this the lace must be careful
ly pulled to the width and then placed
on the table wrong side up and ironed
along the straight edge, holding the
lace up in front of the iron so that
the toe ct the iron may press the lace
to the width and also keep the sell
wedge straight.
Again place the lace fiat on the ta-
BILE and iron across the width, press
ing the toe of the iron into each point
until it is quite dry. If the lace has a
raised pattern, thick piece of felt
or three folds of ordinary blanket may
be slipped under the ironing sheet
and the lace ironed over it. This will
raise the work considerably.
Very fine lace should be ironed
through muslin and never touched
with the bare metal.

tuberculosis and Many Minor Ills
=Lurk in Its Wake Only Proper 0
Way to Sweep acarpeted
Room.

The committee on the prevention OF
tuberculosis is trying to rid every
house of the old feather duster. Tho
recruits in the warfare against con-
sumption have taken up arms against
it. A good deal is heard about street
dust and soft coal as nuisance anu
as dangerous ., to the public health,
but we are apt to forget that right IN
our owa homes we often have dam
ger that is perhaps just as great az
either of these. The old-fashioned
way of cleaning room with feath-
er busted is real menace af.e +, to health. ll
The men who have organized ant1-tu-
berculosis movements have come out
with the following public announce
ment about sweeping and dusting:
When you sweep a room raise as
little dust as possible, because this
dust when Areathed irritates the nose
and throat and may set up catarrh.
Some of the dust breathed- in the
dusty air reaches the lungs, making
parts of them black and hard and use
less.
ITO prevent making dust in sweep
ing, use moist sawdust on bare floors
When the room is carpeted, moisten
a newspaper and tear 1T into small
scraps and scatter upon the carpet
where you begin sweeping. AS you
sweep brush the papers along by the
broom, and they will catch most of the
dust and hold it fast, just as the saw
dust does on bare floors. Do not have
either the paper or the sawdust drip
ping wet, only moist.
'In busting a room do not use a
feather duster, because this does not
remove the dust from the room, but
only brushes it into the air. so that
you breathe it in; or it settles down,
and then you have to do the work
over again.
use soft, dry cloths to dust with
and shake them frequently out Of the
window, or use slightly moistened
cloths and rinse them out in water
when you have finished. In this way
you get the dust out Of the room.
In cleaning rooms you should re-
member that dust settles upon the
| floors as well as on the furniture, and
is stirred into the air we breathe by
walking across the floors. You can
easily remove all this dust in rooms
which have bare floors, lin houses
stores, shops, schoolrooms, etc., after
the dust has settled, by passing over
the floor a mop which has been wrung
out so as to be only moist, not drip
ping wet"

He erected a large brick building, and
soon he had installed ii It great stocks 3
OF goods. Other merchants in the "
town shook their heads. The Public
Spirited Man was certainly crazy.
Farmers when they came to town
looked up the big building with Won
der. The Weekly Mirror had to send
away for type to set up the page ad-
vertisement for the new store, and to
get a new press for the printing of cir
culars and posters.
s. One month after the opening OF the
store the graveyard quietness of the
town had passed away. Streets, were
lined with the teams and the wagons
of the farmers. A new elevator for
grain had been started. The railroad
placed new switch in the yard to ac-
commodate the increased business.
The son of the old town blacksmith
reopened the old shop closed for years
because of no trade. New life was
rapidly being injected into the place.
There was an election. A lot OF
newcomers selected the Public Spir-
tied Citizen for chairman of the town
board. He was elected. In six months
the streets were paved, an electric
lighting plant was in operation, along
with a water works. The Great Store
keeper had way of doing things, and
he did them. News of the activity of
the town reached nearby villages, and
the people came to see the Big Store
and to buy goods. A cold storage
plant in connection with a new COM
mission house operated by friends OF
the Storepeeker, caused Farmers to
bring in tons of butter and hundreds
of thousands of eggs, and chickens
and other produce. The transforma-
tion was quick from Dead Town to
a Lively Small City. A high School
was established, new churches built,
and some of the pious people were
shocked to see an opera house erect

road, which for years had been rum
