Once upon a time. said little Har-

vailed upon to tell a fairy story, there
was a poor old oma who had to
take quite a long journey in a street

he saw her waiting, to stop hrs car
exactly at the crossing, so thai she
could get aboard without stepping In

down kindly and carefully helped her
up the steps. The platform was crowd.
ed with men, who considerably press
ed aside so, that the poor old woman
could get into the car without a great
deal of trouble. Many people stood in
the aisle of the car, but all of them
moved forward voluntarily when the

making it unnecessary for her to STUN.

The Cathedral Mems dinner at the
North Star hall last night was an limo
walton upon the social calendar and
w1thal a pronounced success, both
from the getting together OF the men
of the parish to discuss a splendid din
ner prepared by the Cathedral guild
and to hear some addresses along the
line of the work of the church. The
list of guests numbered forty-two men,
mostly members OF the parish, AL
though there n some who were only
indirectly associated with st. Mat
thew's parish and a few who were only
friends of the members. All yer
pleased at the cordial reception ten
dered them by Dean Bode and the
members of the vestry and all were in

tiers under consideration. Among those
present were Dean Bode of st. Mat.

Dean Returns Thanks.
Dean Bode at the beginning of the
dinner returned thanks, using precise
ly a form of grace that had been used
for years in the family of the father
of Mr.. Evans, and when the father
died the mother, now nearly ninety
years Of age, took it up, and today 1t is
the beginning of every meal in her
family. The dean spoke a few words
of welcome, referring to the fact that
the late Edgar w. Nye ("Bill Nye" as
he was known in the west and all ov
or the country had been the secretary
of the vestry for a good many years
and his notations in the record Of the
Organization formed some of the his.
tory Of the parish at that time.

eral of the older members of the par
ish being present, and Colonel Downey
a leader in the affairs Of the parish
had his hand on the door to leave the
room when Mr.. Evans suggested the
raising Of funds to send the rector to
st. Louis and bring the matter before
the conference Of the church. From
that point there was no cessation Of
effort until the completion Of both
buildings and the installing of Bishop
Talbot in Laramie.

"cIock of the Dead Kings"

The most peculiar clock in the
world is that in a tower in the
courtyard of the palace of Yer
sailles. 1t has but a single hand
and is known as ''LHorloge de la
Mort du Roi" to the French people
and to all other Europeans by words
which signify ''clock of the dead
kings" 1t has no works, but con-
sists merely of face and a single
hand, the face being in imitation of
the sun. Upon the death of a king
in any portion of Europe the hand
is set at the moment of his demise
and remains in that position until
another king passes away, This
curious custom is said to have orig
mated in the time of Louis XIII,
The clock Of the dead kings is about
the only relic of royalty in Ver-
sailles that escaped the furious
mobs of the time of the French rev.
olution.

A momentous change has been
decreed in the habits of London
society, initiated by the king, says
u note in the society columns of a
London paper. His majesty dis
approved Of the tendency to make
the dinner hour later and later and
has decreed that hereafter the fash
ionable dinner hour shall be from
$3.50 to 7:30. Before this change
was instituted society dined from
8 to 8. The new dinner hour,
which is return to earlier man
ners, is welcomed by everybody. 1t
will benefit the theaters, which have
lost many patrons through the late
dinner hour, and it will also send
more people to the restaurants for
supper. People who dined at s
o'clock were not always inclined for
supper afterward and could not
reach the theater before the middle
of the performance.

In removing grease spots from a
book take a little powdered pipe
clay or fuller's earth and mix it
with water to the thickness Of
cream. Then apply it to the spot,
laying it on quarter of an inch
thick. Let it remain during four
hours and then scrape it away. Ii
the spot has not been absorbed by
the clay, put the wet clay on it
again and repeat as before.
If oil or grease is on your best
book, use this simple method. APP
ply spirits of turpentine to the spot,
smearing it on thin with a small
swab. Let the turpentine dry; then
moisten the spot with alcohol with
clean swab, and the grease will
disappear. The paper will not be
discolored. If necessary, make a
second application.
Or lay blotting paper on the
grease spot, then press the blotting
paper with warm iron, repeating
the process several times so as to
absorb as much of the grease as pos
sible. Then take a little essential
oil of turpentine and heat it al
most to the boiling point. Have the
greasy leaf warm, and then with a
clean brush wet in the warm turpen-
tine 60 over the grease spot on both
sides of the paper. Repeat this
process and the stain will soon dis
appear. Lastly, apply the blotting
paper and warm iron.
A good book may be so thumbed
by constant use as to become dirty
OH the margin or even on the en-
tire pages. Such dirt may be re-
moved easily without impairing the

dirt is loose. Then make a saturat-
ed solution of oxalic acid and water.

The short-sighted mortal who
confidently predicted the down,
fall of the elbow sleeve is put to
confusion, as all except the tail

are as short as ever. Let us
hope that long gloves will be

the same general styles prevail

a tight-fitting coat, the long coat

Naturally the talk of war with
Japan is all jingoism, and a very
poor quality of jingoism at that.
Japan does not want any war
with the United States for a
great many years at least, and
J." in fact does not want any war
with anybody until she somewhat
reduces her enormous national
debt and gets industrially reor-
ganized. At the same time, the
Yellow Peril as regards Japan is
a very real menace. This is made
plain by the report of the Com
missioner General of Immigra-
tion, who has recently returned
to Washington from the Hawaiian
Islands and who made a special
study of the japanese situation
in California.
He says that the menace of the
Japanese invasion is not militia
ry, but industrial. The Japa-
nese is not like the Chinaman.
He does not take a laundry on
the corner and stay there until
he accumulates enough money
to return to Japan, but he comes
with readiness to take any DO |
sition, however menial, that will |
give him a startlin life. and this
once attained, there is nothing
in the way Of trade. business or
profession, that he considers be-

in the footsteps of woods, nd of
course some demand for plain
goods will exist, but they will be
in the minority.
New silks of American manu-

they also set forth the beauties

varied by dots of any size in

An imitation .of the homespun

merican silk, which is peculiarly
acceptable from its shadowy sur

are as much in favor as ever, and
authorities state that all black
silk is in growing demand, large

ally of lace, and requiring a con-

less conspicuous than colors.
