EOoled the HOIiun Men.

A west end man had an experience
recently that made his hair stand on
end and had it not been for his quick
wit in devising a means of getting out
of the difficulty it might have cost him
dearly. He is the treasurer of a local
lodge and was returning home from a
meeting with a considerable amount of
money in his possession, fortunately
the greater part of which was in cur
rency.
He got off car quite a distance out
in the west end and turned off side
ticed that he was being followed by
two suspicious looking men. Quick as
fash he pulled an envelope out of his
pocket, addressed it to himself, stamp
ed it. put the currency ins.-t il and
dropped it in the mail box. Then he
started on q brisk walk.
Suddenly there came a command
from behind him.
Hands up"
In went his hands and the robbers
went through his pockets. He smiled
rrimly as the holdups secured only a
few dollars in silver ana he thought
with pleasure of the money he had put
in the mail box in Uncle Sans care
The robbers went away complaining OF
the small amount they secured and the
treasurer went home. Next day the
letter containing the money was deliv.
cred safely to his ottice.-Duluth News

URGES SHIP SUBSIDY.
President Says Federal Aid o
Stooy,arS Neadad

President Says Federal Aid of
Steamers Is Needed.
st would surely be discreditable for
us to surrender to our commercial rivals
the great commerce of the Orient, the
great commerce we should have with
South America and even our own COM
nlunication with Hawaii and the Philip
pines' declared President Roosevelt in
a special message sent to Congress urg-
ing the passage of ship subsidy bill. In
his message the President says:
The urgent need of our country max
ing an effort to do something like its
share of it's own carrying trade on the
ocean has been called to our attention in
striking fashion by the experiences of Sec
rotary Root on his recent South American
tour. The great continent to the south
of us, which should be knit to us by the
closest commercial ties, is hardly In G-
rect commercial communication with us
at all, it's commercial relations being al
most exclusively with Europe. In the
year ending June 80, 1905, there entered
the port of Rio de Janeiro over 5000
steamers and sailing vessels from Eur
rope, but from the United States no
anu Only seven SitlllllS NeSSelS,
two of which were in distress.
One prime reason for this condition,
the President says. is that business on the
sea is done not in a world of natural com
petition but of subsidized competition.
State aid to steamship lines, he says, is as
much a part of the commercial system of
the country as State employment of con-
suls to promote business. and adds
Our commercial competitors in Europe
pay in the aggregate some twenty-five
millions a year to their steamship lines.
Great Britain paying nearly seven mill
ions. Japan pays between three and
four millions. BY the proposed legisla-
ton the United States will pay relatively
less than any one of our competitors
pays.
Three years ago the trans Mississippi
congress formally set forth automatic
the statement that every ship is a mis-
sionary of trade. that steamship lines
work for their ON oo''nt";"S irSt as rail
road lines work for their terminal Joints.
and that it is as absurd for the United
States TO depend upon foreign ships to
distribute its product as it would be for
a department store to depend upon wag-
ons of "a competing house to deliver it's
goods.
Moreover. it must be remembered tina t
American ships do not have to contend
merely against the subSidization of their
fol- eign competitors. The higher wages
and the greater cost of maintenance of
American officers and crews make it al
most impossible for our people who do
business on the ocean TO compete on
equal terms with foreign ships
The President says the proposed law is
not experimental. but is based on the
experiences of other countries and in
conclusion expresses a hope for the en-
actment of some law like the bill at pres
ent pending in Congress.

Dressmakers who have difficulty in
pressing curved seams will find a roll
ing pin a good pressing board, if a
clean cloth be wrapped around it.
When putting steel or whalebone into
bodice, bend them slightly at the
waist before putting into casing. You
will find the bodice will fit to the figure
much better.
When putting on a collar make neck
of bodice or blouse slightly smaller
than base of collar band, and notch
bodice here and there while putting
collar on. BY so doing you avoid wrin-
kles.
All shirtwaist sleeves should be
fitted with the arms crossed behind
the back of the head as well as in 9th

necessary length from the armhole to
the elbow can never be a comfortable

cases make the back of the blouse

Girl Who Isn't Engaged.

Don't be aggressive about it and in
sist that you never yet met a man you
would dream of marrying Even if this
is true, your vigorous assertions will
leave the opposite impression on the
minds of your hearers.
Don't, ON the other hand, magnify
some childish sweethearting into all
early affair" which holds you true to
its memory. And don't, above all
things, invent a suspiciously-ideal lover
who has gone abroad.
Don't belittle your present male &C
quaintances by building day dreams
with a personification of all the virtues
as hero.
Don't drop vague hints about a Sc
cret engagement which time alone will
divulge.
Don't pretend that you think mar
ried life bore; no one will believe
you.
Don't pretend you don't believe in
love: no one will believe this, either.
Don't remark that since many mar
riages are unhappy, you don't care to
risk such step. such reasons are
worse than none.

eral in June, 1865, and after his re-
tirement went back to his lumber bust
ness in Michigan, founding Alger,
Smith & Co., now one of the leading
lumber firms of the country.
He was elected Governor of Michi-

that had ever been given in the State
up to that time. In 1888 he was a lead
ing candidate before the Republican
national convention for the nomination
for the Presidency.
He was elected Commander-in-C Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic in
1889, serving one term. In 1879 Presi-

portfolio of war, which he held two
years.

Duty of Parents.

Love, faith and confidence should be
developed and made permanent in ey-
cry home. 1t is a sad day when a
child loses faith and confidence in ia
Their or mother. and when he can point
TO the time when he WAS disappointed
and deceived by those i'll whom, above
all others, he trusted.
Children naturally believe that what
father and mother say and do are right
and true. and no parent can afford to
forfeit such implicit trust. Parents
should Zealously guard their words and
actions in this respect, and by so do
ing they will be able to exert a healthy
moral influence which will be to their
children in after years a safeguard
against impending disaster, says an ex-
change.
AS early as a child can understand
ANYTHING. his first impressions of his
parents should be a trustful confidence.
This is the secret of his future self
control and the power by which par
ents can exert an influence which shall
determine very largely the physical.
mental. moral and spiritual character
of their child.

Marriage Ideals.

There's not the slightest doubt that
TO make a home that is always full
Of charm takes work and thought. But
it is worth the price, isn't it? 1t is
yours to make home a place that is the
most loved spot on earth to your hus-
band.or the one that fills him with the
greatest sense Of WEAKNESS and repul-
sion-a place to fly to, or one to fly
away from-which is it TO be?
Before a man is married he thinks
of possessing home as a goal toward
which to work. He looks forward to it
as a place of peace aud rest where he
will go to throw down the troubles of
life and be soothed and comforted. He
sees himself sitting down to daintily
prepared and served meals. opposite Il
cheerful and neatly dressed wife.
When, instead of this, he finds him
self returning home DIT night to an i'll
kept, ill-managed house; when he sits
down opposite a fr0Wsy woman to a
dinner, of overdone meat and under
done bread; when, in place of the peace
and rest he expected, he finds that he
has added all of the multifarious wOr
ries of housekeeping to his own busl-
ness cares, all his ideals of marriage
and home and love are scattered at one
fell blow.
He has struck the upgrade Of matri-
mony, where it is just one long, life
less, spiritless pull. 1t is to the ever
lasting disgrace of woman that it is her
hand that oftenest first plucks the illu
sion from matrimony, for every woman
who marries faces the question of the
kind of home she Will make, and de-
cideS it.

The Wife,s Influence.

Every married woman, says Harper'S
Bazaar. TO matter how limited her life
may seem, no matter how shut up she
may be in the nursery or the kitchen,
has a means of contact with the great
world in the man who goes out into it
has a means of influence on it
through him. Seen or unseen, it is
there. The man who is happy in his
home carries the atmosphere of it with
h.m-he is himself more in touch with
others because of it. In this day and
age, when so many woman are seeking
scope for their powers in arts and pro-
LESSONS and business careers, there are
some who realize that in their mar
riage there is the very widest scope
women who put the enthusiasm, the
brain power. the artistic perception,
the clear-sighted effort, into their pro-
fession as wives and mothers, mistress
es of households. These are the wOm-
en- who use their brains and their souls
to love with, as we'll as their hearts,
and who WELD an extraordinary, far
reaching power, All the greater BECAUSE
that power is the last thing they are
thinking of or seek to attain. That
intangible thing that we call the spirit
of the home walks abroa. with every
member of it. The nice children in
school gravitate instantly toward the
children of that household, gravitate
toward the house itself because there
is something there that they need
