Business Women's Lodging House.

Lady Maud Barrett deserves the
gratitude Of London women wage
earners. Under her auspices lodging
and boarding house for girls has been
opened at 8 Devonshire street, where
they are given a room with two meals
day and full board on Sundays for
about $3.50 week. The enterprise is
expected to be self supporting, but
with no margin of profit. Everything
is being arranged with an idea of maxi
ing the house seem homeIike. Those
who know how difficult it is for young
women of moderate salaries to obtain
fair accommodation In large cities for
any sum they can afford to pay would
be glad to see similar experiments a
success in this country

How TO Work Buttonhoies.

When working a buttonhole in a
heavy cloth, or one that pulls and
trays, 1t saves much trouble to work
the hole by basting thread. then stitch
ing close to this on the machine, put
ting in two rows just the length Of the
buttonhole to be. Cut with a sharp
penknife between these lines and work
closely in the ordinary way over the
machine stitching. This buttonhole
will keep its shape and remain intact
as long as fhe cloth holds together.

How 10 Cook Asparagus.

The ordinary method of preparing a
bunch for the table is to lay it on its
side in pot of water and boil 1t, says
the New York Press. Most folk cut
the binders and allow the stalks to
float around in the vessel like derelict
logs in Maine freshet- When served
the tips are as mush, while the stalks
are too hard for mastication. This is
criminal negligence. Worse-it is GRIM
inal ignorance. It takes five years to
get an asparagus bed started, and, as
the roots are gluttons, requiring a vast
amount of rich food, assiduous care
and constant attention, meal of it is
entitled to our highest respect. Buy an
agate ware or porcelained pot six inch
es in diameter and nine inches high
Place the bound bunch Of grass there
in on end, first having trimmed the
bottom even and square. If the bunch
Is seven inches high, pour in water
until only two inches of the tips re-
main above the surface-that is, give it
five inches of water. Then let it boil
and boil and boil until the stalks are
perfectly teHuer. flefce them WITH
fork to find out. The tips viii in the
meantime be cooked by the steam and
will be firm yet tender when served.
Then you will have a delicious aspara-
gus, each stalk and tip morsel fit for
gods and goddesses. The stalk is quite
as tasty as the tip; yet by the old meth
cd of cooking most of the former is too
hard for mastication by anything less
powerful than rock crusher.

Mr.. ]. S. Pople, the pioneer merchant

by large odds the largest dealer on his
side Of the river. His announcements
are always heralded with an apprecla,

all living on his side of the river and
those living in the country back o.

In the columns of this paper to-day as

THE NEW MERCHANTS ARE
STARTING OFF WITH A NICE
BUSINESS.

In this issue OF this paper will be
found the announcement Of the first
semi-annual sale of the Rosenberg
store. They offer a general reduction
along all lines. The policy of this
store is to mark all goods in plain
figures and for this sale the old price
is left on the goods where 1t was or.
lginally placed in plain figures, and
the new sale price is written on a
plain card or tag so that you cannot
be deceived as to the regular price Of
the article offered.
One advantage that is offered in this
sale is that the goods are all new
stock as this store was just opened
up in May with new line Of goods,
so no one will be sold any shelf worn
or last seasons goods, You get the
pick of the market at great reduc,
ton.
Messrs. Rosenberg have started on
with very nice business since NOV.
ing to Falrmont and it is not any sur
prise to most people that such is the
case, as they long before their COM
ing kept the people posted on the lines
they intended to handle and the time
of their opening, and since their arri-
val they have constantly kept their
business before the public, and ell
they have said in regard to their
stock has been found on investigation
to be true in every sense Of the word.
II a firm has confidence in Its. own
line 1t is not so hard to establish the
same confidence with the people. No
mistake can ever be made in buying
the goods that are advertised most.
There are many reasons for this, the
first Is that you can buy an adver-
tised line cheaper from the fact that
there is more Of it sold and conse.
quently the cost Of handling is less,
and too, the article has the merit or
it would not stand the test of public.

No mistake can be made In taking
advantage of the offers this firm is

which the pennant for the champion.

sylvanla league which the local team
has won will be raised to fiaunt to the
breeze from the flagpoie at the Park.
President Power will be here at that

already been ordered and is being
made by the A. C. spauIding Company,
It will bear the inscription "Pennant
Winners, W. Penn. League, 1907"
The members of the Falrmont Base
ball Association are perfecting plans
to have a memorable time at this
game. The matter of closing the
stores at five o'clock on Monday will
be taken up with the Merchants AS,
soclatlon. The merchants of Fairmont
are very liberal minded men and will
likely comply with the request of the
baseball people. Nearly all the mon.
ey that is expended on baseball in this
city is re.spent at home and this fact
will appeal to the store keepers.
The pennant for the first season has
been won by the home team. The win.
ner of the second season unless Fair
mont wins it again will have to play
the local team seven games for the
league championship and the holding
of the coveted prize. In case of Fair
mont's finishing first in the second sea-
son the team having second place will
have to play seven games, but the pen
nant will remain with ,Fairmont re-
gardless of the outcome Of the cham.

YOUNG MAN
BADLY STUNG
TWO GIRLS WORKED A GOOD ONE
ON HIM AND HE is GETTING
THE MERRY HA HA.

PARKERSBURG, July IL There
is a certain Fifth ward young man
who in the future will be very careful
of the invitations to go riding which
he accepts. He was badly "stung" on
proposition OF this sort the other
night, and will be very careful not to
be caught again in similar manner.
He was louhging in front of st.
Marys avenue store when pair OF
pretty girls drove up and inquired 1t
he didn't want to take ride. Natur-
ally, he did. They drove around the
city for a short time when one of the
girls said that she would have to go
home. They drove to her residence,
and a few minutes later the other said
It was getting late and that she, also
would have to go. She asked the young
man to drive the rig around to Ger.
tain number on Fourth street and
leave 1t.
He did, and found the number he
was referred to was a livery barn.
There was two dollars livery hire due
on the horse, and as he had no money
with him, he had to leave his watch
as security for the bill. The girls
were strangers, and had gotten ont at
houses that were not their homes, 1t
developed later. The duped one had
paid 81 for the privilege" Of putting
their horse up.
