Keen Bills,

1t is well to keep every bill, paid or
not, for an indefinite period. Ono never
knows when mistakes may occur or
when dishonesty may be attempted
The steel bill files are all very well,
though they are not remarkable for
their neatness or order, but better
way is to use a large scrap book and
paste the bills in alphabetical order,
according to the names of those by
whom they are preferred, therein. If
possible, 1t would be well to prepare
the leaves like those Of an address
book, so that it would be easy to find
any bill at any time. Of course, this is
only a cheaper homemade substitute
for a regular letter file, which is the
very best thing for the purpose.

Health and Reauty Hints.

severe paroxysn of coughing may
be often arrested by a tablespoonful Of
glycerine in a wineglassful Of hot milk.
Tiny white spots, which sometimes
deface the fngernails, are caused by
stoppage of the nutriment juices. 1t Is
almost impossible to remove them
Wholesome food, fresh air, bathing.
proper clothing, plenty of sleep and the
absolute avoidance of tight lacing are
among the requisites for promoting
health and perfecting beauty.
Here is a homemade toilet powder
which is very nice, indeed: Half a
pound of starch, one ounce of orris
root, one-quarter dram of oil of ger
anium. Crush it free from Jumps and
add the oil or geranium drop by drop.
Dark circles and that baggy look be-
meath the eyes are apt to be due to
nervous or overtired physical condition
or to a serious internal trouble, so be-
fore fusslng or trying to do away with
it by local applications it is well to
find out the deeper cause and be doc
tored for that.

there is no harm In my asking IL you are
gcing to marry him."
Aileen hesita.ed and reflected. and
finally said quietly:
Yes. am"
"Well. that bars my chances" he said
at lenztt. II suppose / had better make
up my mind to the Inevitable. Hobson
always betted on the professor; be said /

evidently right"
Il am very sorry" Aileen said gently,
touched by some tone in his voice. But
II really was not my fault. 1 like you
very much, and in different circumstances
perhaps. But there, should not be my
self. You must see that as things are
great deal is expected from me. and my
marriage Is not altogether an Individual
thing. It sounds conceited thing to say,
but 1t is the truth
"Oh, yes, know you have been dedi-
Gated 10 the woman's cause. Well, it's
no use talking about that now, and there's
no necessity for me to try any new tack.
But perhaps, as you say I'm not altogeth-
err Objectionable to you, you would still
continue, or rather you would let us start
now. as friends for the futuref | prom
ise I'll behave myself, if you are thinking
of Lewiston"
y shall be very pleased" Aileen re-
turned graciously, her busy brain already
revolving plans by which he might be led
to grow in his interests with the cause
she had 50 much at heart. But only
as friends" she added warningly, as his
face frightened.
Il understand l shall be as friendly
and as brotherly as Terry. Lewiston need

conversation in very practical manner
to the toys which they were to buy.

Choosing a Profession,

There would not be so many failures
If girls would not attempt work beyond
their powers. The great object is to
make comfortable living, and you are
far more likely to do this if you get rid
of the ''genteel'' idea. 1t matters not
what work you do, but how you do it.
No work is well done that is not done
intelligently. You will gain more re-
spect and consideration for a well-cook-
ed dinner than for an ill-spelt typed
letter, and the master Of a house viii
have higher opinion Of his children's
Trustworthy nurse than for his not too
reliable shorthand-typist. If girls about
to leave school are wise, they will ask
for training which will enable them to
enter the home rather than the offise.

Skirts trimmed with folds of silk or
velvet ribbon in tuck effects can have
any necessary piercing for lengthening
or freshening the dress at lower part,
done beneath one of these bands, and
the same holds good for waists similar
ly ornamented. Frequently a waist is
found to be hopelessly short-waisted
and for such instances the cross wise
folds seem especially to have been in
vented. Make the folds take a slight
upward curve to the middle front from
sides and there place little loop bows.
A dress sent to be dyed should have
the hem ripped out, as the mark ordin-
arily at hem edge is effaced during the
process.

Removing Stains.

Fresh fruit stains can generally be
removed by pouring boiling water
through them. If they prove obstinate,
rub with half lemon dipped into salt,
then wash the garment. Javelle water
viii surely accomplish it, but the ut
most care insult be exercised in using it
or rather, eashing every trace of it
away after the stain has been removed
or the result will surely be a hole
To remove coffee stains rub thoroughly
with pure, clean glycerln; this will re-
move stains caused by coffee from
wooden and other materials. The place
afterward should be well washed with
lukewarn water and ironed on the
wrong side until dry.

nnn,ts for Hostess.

Don't invite more guests than you
can seat comfortably at your table. A
space Of two feet should be allowed for
each person.
Don't send your plate away, or APP
pear to have done eating, till your
guests have all finished
Don't discuss politics or religious
matters unless you know your guests
are all in sympathy with you.
Don't press your guests to take more
or to partake of any special kind of
food. They know they are welcome to
all they want and such pressing is en-
harrasSing.

In all your intercourse with children,
remember these things: Learn to gov
ern yourself before you try to govern
them Have reason to respect yourself
before expecting them to respect you.
Don't say in their hearing what you
wouldn't like to hear them say. Never
correct them when you are angry your
self. Pay not the slightest attention to
tale-bearing. They will learn politeness
and kindness and gentleness a thou
sand times better from your daily ex-
ample than from years Of precept.-

strip is slightly narrower than the
ends and carries movable ring. AS
shown in the illustration, the ends OF

English will be at a discount, and the

Guarding Against strikes.

Gary is intended to fulfill the dream
of many corporations and the particu-
lar dream of the Steel Trust-a town
where labor agitation will be unknown
and where capital will have full swing.
The United States Steel Corporation is
leaving no stone unturned to have in
it's hands sufficient power to quell in
stantly any attempt at a strike The
steel plant is located on one side of the
Calumet river, which divides Ie town
into two parts. Fronted by che river
and backed by the lake, it will be al
most impregnable to riot.ng strikers.
Swinging bridges across the Calumet
will turn it into a metfaeval fortress
about which the drawbridges may be
swung upward and the enemy cut off
while the castle can obtain fresh sup
plies of defenders and ammunition
from the lake steamers. Then. again,
when the striker faces raised rates for
his light, fuel and traospor tation, he
will probably think twice before strik-
ing, or at least such is the hope of his
employers.

STEEL TRUSTS CITY.
GARY, IND, WILL BE THE PARA
Disc OF CAPITALISTS.
Wonderful Town which Has Sprung
Up on the shore of Lake Michigan
VIII he Corporation Owned and
Ruled.

The town of Gary, Ind, which is be-
ing built at the behest of the magnates
of the steel trust, is practically CON-
pletea. The gigantic steel plant which
is to dwarf every Industrial plant that
has ever existed is raising its tall
chlmneys against the sky, and the great
furnaces ia whose flow thousands of
toilers will find a living are standing
with greedy p.ouths waiting for their
food. Down on the sand dunes of In
diana, on little neck of land stretch
ing into tht southern end of Lake Mich
igan, the new town is rising. Only
the other day there was nothing there
but the dreary mounds of sand witch
sparse and hungry vegetation accentu-
ating the dreariness. Even the drowsy
Calumet, which river flows through the
new city, had a forlorn and lifeless as
pect.
All that is now changed. The sand
dunes have been leveled The reedy
marshes of the river have been filled
in, and in place. of the few scattered
trees modern buildings have arisen,
and thousands Of laborers have turned
the desolate place into a great camp
of industry where pick and shovel, ma
sons trowel and architects measure
are busy all day long. Broadway, the
principal street, is 31a miles long and
100 feet wide, with 20-foot sidewalks.
On every side stores, banks, hotels and
osice buildings are rising to compile
ton. Two hotels, at cost of over
$4,000, are under way, while a bank
building is completed and a newspaper
Office IS even now busy publishing
weekly paper, which will soon be a
