The Box Couch.

The box couch has long ago proved
it's convenience. Either as an emer-
gency bed or clothespress it has no
equal-indeed, it is a piece Of furniture
that few housekeepers can dispense
with.
AS absolute perfection is not yet
come to earth, the box couch is not ex-
empt from flaws. About the only Sc
rious one, however, is the persistency
with which dust will sift inside, no
matter how closely shut is the lid.
One clever woman has overcome this
so much to her own satisfaction that
her remedy is worth trying.
Over the lining she tackled white
kitchen tablecloth, with the shining
side turned in. A strip about two
inches wide was also fastened all
around the edge, so that when the lid
was down it acted as a close flap over
the opening.
The bottom of the box was then lin
ed with heavy yellow paper, which
may be easily removed and freshened.
These simple precautions are marvel
Gus dust defiers and make it possible
to use the couch to hold gowns or even
white waists without their being wrap

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Particular Attention Paid 70 Shoes and
Gloves.
If you would dress in good taste, pay
particular attention to shoes, gloves
and wells, to nicely in the matter OF
neckwear and to trifes that give pref.
ty finishing touches to a plain cos.
tune.
The woman who is dressed in good
taste is not always the one who spends
the most on her clothes, but rather the
one who can afford so few frocks that
she sticks to plain modes and colors
best suited to her.
The woman who will give little
thought to the matter Of dress man
ages to spend less money and get bet
ter results and service than the care
less, Indifferent woman who is con-
tent to wear 'just anything"
A woman's gown Is one Of the In
dexes to her character. If for no other
reason, 1t should merit careful consid-

ways wear the extremes Of fashion
and even exaggerate extremes
If checked cloth, pointed shoes, short
skirts or long coats are In style, they
insist on broader checks, more pointed
shoes, shorter skirts and longer coats
than the fashion prescribes.
In other words, everything is exag.
gerated, SO that people will think that
they are not only right up to fashion,
but also little ahead.
Women who dress In this manner
suffer because such things indicate
certain character qualities inordinate
vanity, an oyerestimation Of ones i'm
portance, superfciality, foolishness.
Character Is estimated by little
things, and when people seem to spend
most Of their energies in thinking
about themselves it is taken for grant
ed that they are not much good for the
solid, substantial things Of life.
People who are given to thinking too
much Of themselves always think too
little Of others.
They are proverbially selfish, and
selfshness is fnstinctively despiseC by
every one.

DO YOU FRECKLE?

II So, These Remedies May Be of
Service.
Freckle remedies are always in or
der. Here are several:
Morning and night rub over the skin
combination made of half dram of
boracic acid and quarter of an ounce
Of ointment Of roseWater. Do not
think that this is going to cause the
freckles to disappear like magic. 1t
will not. 1t will simply prevent them
from increasing and If they are very
light In color will cause them to fade
after a time
$ Stronger, but quite disable, if one
does not unnec essarily expose the face
at the time, are sixteen grains of oleate
Of copper mixed with half an ounce of
oxide Of zinc ointment This should
be rubbed on night and morning after
washing.
Still another lotion that can be ap-
piled several times during the day is a
mixture Of two ounces Of Tactic acid,
one ounce of glycerin and half an
ounce Of rosewater. 1t should be mop
ped on with bit Of muslin.
An ointment that is sometimes more
convenient to pack than liquid is
made Of ten grains of leYigated sui
plate of zinc and half ounce of elder
flower ointment. These are mixed
and rubbed on night and morning.

KINDLY CRITICISM.
Imagine Yourself In Another's Place
Before Passing Judgment.

Imagine Yourself In Another's Place
Before Passing Judgment.
None Of us would deliberately iniure
another, but | am afraid that we all
do from time to time by talking when
it would be better to keep still. If we
cannot say something nice about q
friend we should be silent, bat instead
we go heedlessly on expressing opin.
ions or telling facts that prejudice 9th.
ers, and thus we have done harm when
none was intended.
We all need a little more charity in
our compositions, think. With that
the temptation to say critical or un-
kind things would be greatly lessened.
and we would make excuses where
now we do not even think Of them.
To make ourselves learn to do this is
one of the important things In life,
and help toward accomplishing it is
not only honestly to put ourselves in
the other persons place when we are
critically inclined, but also frankly to
factors that governed the act.
This last, think, is even more i'm
portant than the first. With the best
will in the world it is practically Inn
possible to put ourselves In another S
place unless one happens to be such a
close friend that all the circumstances
are known. Only then can we form
an opinion that is worth the time of
telling But the fact that we know
only the thing that was done and none
Of the causes therefor does not pre-
vent us from laying down the law, and
In our ignorance lies the capacity to
do harm. If we could know what in
fuenced the person to act as she did,
we might see that under the circum-
stances we might not even have done
so well, and, far from blaming, we
would praise.
That is why think a realization Of
ignorance will do much to bring toll
Grafton and suspend criticism.
1t ought to be as easy to say nice
things as unkind ones, but with many
persons this does not seem to be the
case. Yet it is true that the most
critical are the most ignorant, for
those who know anything Of life, it's
complications, difficulties and trials,
are the most lenient and forgiving. A
woman who has lived a secluded ex-
istence out Of the stress Of life is far
more apt to be quite sure that she
knows all about it and what should
be done at all times than one who
has lived in the thick Of it and gar
nered knowledge. It is a woman who
learns as she grows who becomes kind
~, and criticism is not as often heard
from her as justification.
She 1t is who is helpful to others and
not antagonistic in superiority. If we
cannot say kind things about another
or cannot justify an act, at least we
may keep silent about it. Even more,
we may try to apply kindly motive
and not disagreeable one. In that
way certainly we shall not be harm.

Three Italians Badly Burned by a
Live Wire on Pearl Street at
Midnight Thursday
OLD WIRE HAS BIG CURRENT
Men Were Walking Along the Street
When They Were Struck by the
Wire, and in Consequence
Two are in Bed Today
(Frona Fridays Dai1y.)

Three Ital4 ms were badly burned
just before midnight Thursday night
when they came into contact with

by current.
James Gallo, 920 Park street, struck
with the 1--we wire in the face and
badly injured; rendered unconscious
by electric shock and head badly
cut by falling.
John Boutelle, 176 Ridge street, badly
burned on the hands by coming in
contact with the wire.
The wire which caused the injury
to the men was portion of an old
telephone line which had formerly
been used to connect the Balm Wagon
company's Office with the Bain farm
in the town of Somers. The wire had

down. Some time ago it seems that
the wire fell down and caught in
tree near the corner where the acct.
dent occurred. Later it had fallen over
a wire of the arc service of the Keno
sha Gas and Electric company and it
was heavily charged.
The three Italians had been down
town and were on their way home
when they passed under the tree and
and when it struck him in the face he
fell to the ground as if killed. The
other two men went to the aid of Gal
10 and in some manner they also got
mixed up with the live wire and were
burned. Two of the men we're un-
conscious when the crowd began to
gather and an ambulance was hurri-
eddy summoned to remove them to the
hospital. By the time the ambulance
arrived the two men had recovered
sufficiently to go to their homes and
DIR. Spa1ding was called to attend
them. Gallo is badly burned and is
suffering great deal of pain today.
The officials of the Kenosha Gas
and Electric company we're notified of
the accident and while they claim
that the accident could not in any
way be blamed to them their work
men hurried to the scene and took the
live wire out of the way. It is claimed
that the condition Of the wire was the
result of carelessness on the part Of
some lineman who had cut the te1e-
phone wire and had failed to remove
it. 1t is claimed that on account of
the wet weather the tree through
which the wire reached the ground
had been charged with electricity and
several of the men who gathered after
the. accident were shocked by the
electricity.

A SISTERS LOVE.

Griffith Ennersly was the adopt
ed son of the old pilot by that
name, whose family had BEEN sea-
men more than $50 years back! The
iittle fellow and Tina, the couples
own child, grew up without lever
suspecung there was no tie OF
blood between them.
The old mans health began to
break and he was forced to give
up work. One evening he sent his
wife and Tina out of the room and
kept young Griffith with him. Both
women wondered at Griffith S
white face when he came out, but
as his fathers life closed that night
1t was but natural that the young
man should show emotion.
Griffith had always been hasty in
temper and strong of will, but af-
ter old Ennersly's death he became
more morose and suspicious. 1t
was not a slight annoyance to the
young man to find that he did not
know who his parents were. He
had been left with the Ennersly's
by a strange man.
While Griffith was away the fol-
lowing spring Captain Arden, his
partner, became very attentive. to

Tina. 1t was in the height of this
courtship that Griffith came home.
He startled Tina one day by tell
ing her of his love, which she at
first believed to be that of a
brothers fond expression.
81 want your love, Tina, but not
as sisters. Don't you see, dear,
am glad l am not your brother"
She shrank away from him as if
he had struck her. ''He did not
want the love she had given him
freely for years." was her thought.
She had lost her brother, and he
had said he was glad of it.
Her only answer was eff you will
not be my brother, you are as any
other man to me-"
mot as any other man, for love
you. l have been waiting a year
to tell you this"
Cannot you guess how it is with
me, Griffith. | could never love you
other than as brother. And
some one else has spoken first"
He grasped both her wrists as
she spoke and held them tightly.
Some one else? That is rather
vague. l suppose he has a name?"
Yes, he has name-Phillip Ar
den."
At these words Griffith shrank

back as il he had received a blow.
The full meaning of them fell upon
him, and with a look OF terror
which struck poor Tina to the heart
he turned and left her.
Griffith sailed on the next trip Of
the Nautilus and was never heard
of again. Reports came back to his
mother than the ship had been
wrecked and not one of the crew
had escaped.
