SOMEILITTLE
ECONOMIES THAT HELP

For Waste Basket
have made denim bags having at
the top an embroidery ring, so they
always are open, and placed them N
the rooms in which all scraps, comb
ings, frs wrapped in a bit of paper.
and burnt matches are dropped In
the nursery l have large ticking bags
handing in the closet, with a draw
string. No dirt can get out, and
there are no waste baskets to tip
over. In this way the rooms are kept
tidy, as even the Little children like
to put things into pretty bags.
Put Hangers
On all dress skirts, petticoats.
waists, nightdresses, and long sleev-
ed aprons. This is a great help in
teaching children to hang up their
clothes properly.
Boys Knee Pants
1t is a problem to get boys pants
cheap. Why not try making them
from the good parts of your husbands
old trousers. Rip pair of boys old
pants which you are sure fit him,
press them well, and here is your
pattern. Lay the pattern on goods;
cut carefully. Sew pockets first, then
side seams, front seam, back seam,
and last the leg seams.
Uses for Old Clothes
Two pairs of trousers legs, ripped,
washed, and pressed make a good
petticoat for a fair sized girl. Use
sateen Innings from trousers and
sleeves for waist. Cut bottom of
skirt in wide scallops and buttcnhole
with zephyr.
A coat makes sack for a small
child. Use coat lining for lining and
trim with bands of silk or an old
tie.
Papa's old socks make serviceable
everyday stockings for baby if cut
down properly. Even his ties can be
utilized in many ways as trimmings
An out of date Overcoat can be con.
verified into a stylish Russian or But
ter Brown coat or jacket.
If Fancy Work.
Has become drawn in working,
wr-ng a cloth out of cold water and
place it on a wooden table. Put the
worked piece over this, pinnins all
edges at intervals of every half inch
until not a pucker remains. Leave
this over night, and when the pins are
removed the work will sand out
straight and smooth.
In Hemstitching.- &.
Always use a short needle. A
short needle is best for most embroid-
cry.
Baking Fruit Cake
Many women can mix an excellent
fruit cake, but few can place one in
the oven without forbodings Of a
thick, dry crust-or if baked in a pan
lining Of hour and water, there is the
hateful task of removing that paste.
Have your merchants save several
pasteboards corset boxes for you.
Some buyers prefer to leave these
boxes at the store, an ! these your
dealer is glad to give away. The l6 by
inch Is the most convenient size,
and it Is well to choose boxes Of such
depts as You prefer the slices Of your
cake to be when cut. Not less than
two inches deep, and three Is better.
Line each box with MANILA paper well
creased, pour in the batter, place a
thoroughly creased manila paper over
the box. and put on the pasteboard
lid. Place the boxes in a slow oven
and keen there until the cakes are
done through. no longer. This will
require at least five hours. When

That was the best birthdav Alfred
ever had. And best of all the other
days were just as good. Mademoiselle
went off to worry some other poor
little beggars; father began to devote
himself to golf-"Gee, but I'm sorry
for the caddies!" thought Alfred.
And mother-Oh well, you know,
mother was always alright! She
never was as bad as the rest A fellow
mostly has to say he hates it all, but
mothers, you know, they're not so
bad. Sometimes they're mighty nice
things to have. And III tell you what,

swap mothers with him now-whew!

POSTMASTER KOKI
IN JAIL IN HONOLULU

Moses Koki, postmaster of Kamuela,
Hawaii, had to rest in Jail over night
for lack of $4,000 bail. He was brought
to town yesterday by Marshal E. R.
Hendry, under warrant charging him
with embezzlement of $1,000 in postoffice
funds. Commissioner Hatch fixed his
bail at $4,000 for appearance for pre-
hminary examination on Monday.
Up to last night Koki had not found
bail A statement in the afternoon
papers that Eben P. Low had gone sure
ty on Koki's bond was erroneous. Mr..
Low was not in town.
Koki is suspected of the registered
mail robbery in which $500 in two
packages was taken, the theory being
that the money was stolen to cover the
shortage for which Koki has been ar
rested. AS already reported Koki after
the robbery squared his account as
postmaster with remittance in which
a suspiciously large proportion of $40
gold pieces appeared.

KIDNEY PILLS.

Miss Emma Shirley, of Kill Buck,
n. Y, says: Kidney trouble mys-
teriously fastened itself upon me and
ran down so rapidly that in a short
time | was a nervous wreck. | had
no strength and was so weak and had
so much pain I could hardly totter
about. I was down in bed for weeks,
and could hardly turn over. When
got up | was SO nervous, that if any
one looked at me was ready to cry.
My eyesight failed, headaches and diz-
zy spells racked me, and I had ter
rible pain in the side. / could not re-
tain my food, my complexion was pasty,
and all the time the kidney secretions
were awfully irregular. / went to
doctors, but only sank lower and lower
until my friends gave me up to die.
Through a friend I learned of Doan S
Backache Kidney Pills, and after TAX
ing two boxes, felt very much better.
| kept on until I had used twelve boxes,
and was then so greatly improved that
was able to go home to Kill Buck.
This was within four weeks after /
left my bed, and I hardly dared hope
was well, but so it proved. Though
had lost Is pounds while in bed, ,
recovered that and six pounds more.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills saved
my life, and I shall never quit praising
Them"

THE SUPREME COURT
HAS REVERSED ITSELF

Chief Justice Hartwell is author of a
unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court in the celebrated case of w. w.
Bierce, Ltd, V. Clinton j. Hutehins,
trustee. Exceptions of defendant are
overruled. The gist of the decision is
that. plaintiff has right of action on
a lien claimed. Formerly the Hawaiian
Supreme Court decided against Bierce,
but the United States Supreme Court
set aside that decision and remanded
the case to the Territorial court. The
former decision was only upon one of
several exceptions, and now the court
overrules the rest.
When the case began about FIVE years
ago there was no appeal to the Fed
eral Supreme Court. Through the in
fuence of Mr.. Bierce the Organic Act
was amended, by means of a rider to
an appropriation bill, so that appeals
might be taken to Washington in eases
where more than $4,000 was involved.
The suit is for railroad material and
equipment furnished to the Kona Sugar
Co.. long SINCE gone into liquidation.
Since it was bought the property has
been sold by c. J. Hutchins, trustee
of the bondholders. and the railroad is
now in use under new owners.
