Have you had your usual talk with
Mr.. Mcfarland this mcNiing?'
II saw him for five MINUTES in Mr.

Orchard declared that the Haywood

Yesterday Orchard said he had written 10
Meyer from Wallace. Idaho. asking for
money Orchard had gone to Wallace af-
ter the first proposed attempt on former

Richardson asked II Orchard ever re-

he said Haywood had sent TO him.

well TO assassinate Steunenberg. Orchard
said he and Jack simpkins frst went ON
a weeks hunting trip into the st. Joe
river country OF Idaho. The return trip
10 Caldwell was made by way OF Spokane.
Simpkins said that as an excuse for go
ing alone he would say he was visiting
locals OF the Western Federation. This
would also enable him to draw expense
money from the union.
Orchard said there was no arrangement
at the headquarters whereby Simpkins
should help in the Steunenberg plot.
Orchard fixed the date OF his second

in November 1905.

FLAT LIFE MAKES FAT woxEH.

"Strangers in New York often
comment on the number of fat wo-
men they meet, and / believe this is
largely due to fat house and apart
ment life. /" remarked a physician with
a large family practice. Take the
woman, for instance, who lives on the
top floor of house without an ele-
vator, and If she is Of a phlegmatic
nature week or more will pass with
out her leaving the house. ! have
some patients or mothers of patients
who admit that Sunday or Saturday is
the only day in the week when they
go out. Even with housework to do
in the average New York fat a.wo-
man does not secure enough exercise
Of the right sort to keep down her
flesh. In the suburbs or the small
cities the housewife climbs the stairs,
one of the best exercises for reducing
flesh, and she goes to market daily.
Here in New York the average fiat
house woman has no more than go
foot hall to traverse if she wants to
visit a neighbor, and she does her or

TIE DEMoN OF WORRY.

Worry is one of the most fatal of all
transgressions. It is a sin against not
one organ of the body, but against the
body as whole. 1t is demon whose
pressure is felt upon the heart, and
there is not capillary in any gland
or tissue which does not shrink under
the glance of its gloomy eyes. A man
who worries is slowly draining the
springs of life. He not only stunts
himself, but he makes it harder for
others to grow and blossom. Depres-
sion is a vice, and like all vices it must
be dealt with firmly and with vigor.
What is the effect of your presence
in your homer Does your look fall
like sunbeam or a shadow across the
breakfast table? Does your conver-
sation lie like strip of summer sky
or patch of midnight across the fam
lily life9 Upon what subjects do you
speak with largest freedom and keen
est relish-your aches and failures. or
the things which are beautiful and tine
and high? For your own sake and
for the sake of others you ought to
bring your soul into a jubilant mood.
All Christian virtues grow best under
a sky filed with sun, and the man or
woman who persists in being gloomy
and sour and moody will have his
home filed at last with weeds and
brambles and briers.

WELCOME MrEEsroNKs.

In walking trip milestone along
the way is the most compauionable
fellow in the world; your spirits rise
as YOU near him as though yeu were
about to greet human friend, and
they keep almost consistently on this
high level till his brother mile dis
tant advances to meet you.
And when you overlook one Of this
friendly company because of an en-
croaching bank or screening boughs,
SAYS the 7S0veI Margarine, his neigh
Dor further on comes to you doubly
welcome. At the latter end Of this
passage in the journey your spirits
flag trife as though oppressed by
sense of desertion. You may even
scowl at the overhanging bank which
is more than party to this conceal
ment.
Those worthy persons who attend
to the roads should see to it that ev-
ery milestone within their province
stands out frankly from its leafy back
ground. Observance Of this, how
ever, would rob the wayfarer of that
leap of the heart which Is his when the
stone tells the story of two miles done
rather than one. For however much
the landscape and the minute world
at his feet may claim the footfarer's 5
admiration he is still keenly alive to
the virtues of decent distances covered
In his davis Journey.

WHAT TO EAT AFTER AGE OF 40.

DR.. Cohen, noted London physi-
clan, has furnished diet that people
may eat after middle age to keep from
growing old too rapidly. Among the
foods most likely to have the effect of
keeping the body youthful as stated
by him are the following which any
one past 40 should use in preference
to the heavier and richer articles, and
which all city people will probably
find most suitable from the age of 28
to 80 onwards:
Mutton-It is better than beef for
sedentary people. The leg is the best,
according to DR.. Burney Yeo. Young
andtender fowl and game. Eggs light
" cooked, cooked in every form, or
beaten up with milk and alittle sherry.
Milk-It is better always to boil it.
1t is as good in puddings, cocoa, cof-
fee, etc., as alone.
Potted meats and game, if genuine
and unadulterated, are nutritious and
digestible.
Fish, particularly white fish, such
as sole. whiting. cod, founders, ,smelts,
etc. Fish is better boiled than fried.
Grilled bacon.
Sound, pure bread. 1t is best when
home made.
Porridge of rice, tapioca, sago, ar
rowroot, macaroni, made with milk
and eggs (not egg powders.)
Vegetables, purees of all kinds.
Stewed celery, stewed onions, spin
ach, artichokes and nearly all vegeta-
bles.
Stewed or baked fruits of every
kind and raw, we1l-ripened apples,
pears, grapes, oranges, strawberries.
What is to be drunk? If wine or
beer be taken they should be light !; if
spirits, they should be well diluted.
| No alcoholic drink should be taken
except in very small amount.
Tea, coffee, chocolate, are all good.
Tea and coffee, however, should be
light and quickly made.
Hard water is probably an active
agent in aging the body. 1t is said to
produce calculus and may harden the
arteries. With hardened arteries one
cannot be young. Use soft water for
drinking.
These are only some of the foods
that may be used. 1t is a mistake to
restrict the dietary too mucn. Mod
Grafton is the thing to keep always In
mind.
With attention to food, air, exer-
else, and the hygiene of the mind.
most people might be ten or twenty
years younger than they really are.
The great scientist, DR.. Metchnikof,
thinks we ought to live ten times as
long as the period we take to develop.
That is from 23o to $50 years. There
is no reason, therefore, why we should
| not remain youthful until we pass 70
or even 80. Some people accomplish
it, and it is possible for great number.
Do not eat heavy suppers.
Drink little or no alcohol.
Avoid rich meats and pastry.
Donot grow fat by eating too much.
| Fat people seldom reach good old
age.
| The youthful old man is lear.s
! Lessen your food continually as
you grow older.
| .Over-eating produces all the dis
eases that make ore old.
| Undertaking shortens life. :
! Just enough and trife under Is

DrsHwAsH1Ne A sCrENCE.

Bother p exclaims some disgffn-
tied woman. "Dishwashing is moth
ing but a dirty, disagreeabIe Job.
There's no science about it.
"Then, madam, you don't know
how to wash your dishes right"
"Pshaw p says the lady. AS if
everybody didn't know how to wash
dishes
"Oh, do they? Well, take peep
into some kitchens and you will see
that good many women wash dishes
in higgledy-piggled way, with
single pan oflukewarm, greasy water,
and the unscraped dishes piled helter
skelter all over the table. Such wo-
men always hate the task. No won-
der l''
There is right and wrong way
to do anything -even dishwashing.
The right way IS EASY and the wrong
way IS hard. The scientific dish
washer either scrapes off or rinses aft
loose PARTICLES from her dishes before
she puts them into the water. She
begins with the larger plates, put
ting them into the pan FIRST, then
adding them by sizes until the pan is
full. Cups and other articles are
placed around, then over all is pour
ed hot soapsuds, not boiling hot, but
quite warm, as the hands can be put
into comfortably.
The cups and saucers are, of course.
the cleanest things. These are wash
ed first, and by the time she has reach
ed the plates that may be greasy they.
are warmed through, and are cleaned
with much more ease than if they were
suddenly put into the water and wash
ed off.
AT this stage it is a good plan to
put into the water, in addition to soap,
a teaspoonful Of washing soda, which
should be kept in convenient vessel
over the sink. It takes scarcely more
than half of the time to wash dishes
in this way.
One good housekeeper has dish
pan almost double the usual size. In
it every dish is put-silver and all
then the hot water is poured on,
large quantity being used, and this
is really an economy in time and
strength, provided water is plenty.
AS for greasy dish water, good
housekeepers should never have it.
Anabundanceo of hot water, good soap,
a little soda, and dishes properly scrap
ed off before beginning, are all that
is required. A second pan, filed
with hot water, in which the dishes
are rinsed, is essential.
Dishcloths are among the neglected
items in kitchen economy. AS rule
it takes good deal ofnerve to touch
the average dishcloth. It should be
one of the first lessons taught to the
young housekeeper that her dishcIoths
should be immaculate.
IT never hang my dishcloths mp
until they are so clean that could
use them as napkins were it necessR

kitchen sink and cooking utensils in
excellent order. If sense and soda
are used but little additional time is
required, and the satisfaction of It is
ample compensation.

You are just trying to Distract
me from my discovery that you don't
love me p persisted the young wo-
man. "You can't deny it ! Just
think, / might never have found it
out if l hadn't stumbled on it this
way hope you wont lose any
time f.f-6nding the other girl and f-f-
falling in love with her right away
hope you won't feel in the least
bound to me. But hate her !"
$50 do l." said the young man
with grim enthusiasm. ~ wish
you'd listen to reason a minute. I
can't quite figure out how you started
this, but
"Well, If you never had met me
and didn't know I was on earth and
never heard about me" persisted
the woman, giving her eyes final
dab, "would you-tell me honestly,
George-would you have thought you
were in love with some other grill"
The young man opened his lips for
the logical reply. Then as he saw
her intense face he became aware of
his danger.
He swallowed resignedly, took
both her hands in his and said with
fervor: "Sadie, if I had been the
only man in a whole country peopled
by the most enhancing beautiful
girls you could imagine and you had
not been among them I'd never have
futtered an eyelash in their direction.
I simply couldn't get up an interest
in them. No, / should have gone

"Oh how sweet |" cried hepretty
girl, beaming. "Do you really mean
It, Georgel"

"What does this mean T. asked
Mr.. Dinsmore, very gently, because
visions of insanity floated through his
| frightened brain.
"Oh, Bennie, don't scold. I was
so homesick for something to do, and
Bridget had to go to her brother, and
/ wanted to, and / was going to sur
prise you with some of my stewed
chicken and dumplings like I used to
make you. I've enjoyed every min
ute of it, and, Bennie, I'm ten years
| younger for it. I've wanted it So
oh, more than can tell-it makes
me very unhappy to be idle and use
less, darling"
The man sat Imply down in the
nearest chair. His mother homesick
and unhappy in his house where he
had meant she should be so happy /
Hasn't everybody been good to
you 7" he demanded fiercely.
"Oh, yes, dear, too good. / haven't
a fault to d-Harriet is beyond re-
proach. It's only my own unreason-
ableness-bu I can't make you uii-
derstand.' The happy light had
died out of the sweet old face and
Bennie strobe straight into the sea of
suds to clasp his arms about his
mother and say, "You needn't try to
make me understand. You are to do
what makes you happiest in this
house, whether it's riding in airships
or scrubbing floors. We wanted to
do the best for you, and If we've made
mistakes all you have to do isto teach
us better. Don't cry, mother-the
sweetest mother in all the world. Go
on with your scrubbing, dear, or you
won't get done in time to make my
yellow gravy"
So Bennie peeled potatoes while
his mother rolled pie crust and they
lived over old times to their hearts
content.
Mr.. Dinsmore met his wife at the
parlor door little later and drew her
into the parlor where quiet conver-
sation was held while grandmother
somewhat nervously dished up the
dinner. And afterward Harriet found
no fault-expressed no surprise-in-
stead she praised everything in sight.
That dinner was an undeniable sue
cess and Bennie ate as he hadn't eat
en- in years. Afterward he and mother
washed and wiped the dishes-Ben-
ME with the big brown apron tied
about his portly waist-while Harriet
brushed the dining and set the
table for breakfast. Then they all
played dominoes in the big pleasant
sitting-room and nobody once said,
Mother, hadn't you better retire?"
Bridget was back at her post with
the early morning, overwhelmed with
gratitude to Mrs. Dinsmore, and over
joyed to report Mike as mot so bad
hurted after all, men," But her abb
sence had served it's purpose, and
Mother Dinsnore has never returned
to her enforced if luxurious imprison-
ment, and if Bennie has his way she

THE HOME GIRL.

This is day of fads and fancies,
when every girl must have some pro-
fession or special occupation, often
forgetting that her first and highest
work lies in the home. All honor to
the army of working women whom
necessity forces to earn.a livelihood
for themselves and others. There
are many brave noble souls among
them, and, as a rule, they are kind
hearted and unselfsh. 1t is not of
them that speak, but Of the daugh-
tiers in comfortable homes, who are
discontented and who wish to go out
in the world and join the ranks of
wage earners.
It is we'll for every woman to have
some speciality by which she can sup
port herself if necessary but the girl
who can spend the years between
graduation and marriage in her fa-
theirs home is fortunate, and she
should appreciate theprivilege. Then,
too, she is often sorely needed the
poor mother has borne the burden so
long and begins to fail under 1t, and
there are, perhaps, younger children.
The influence of an older sister is
second only to that of mother; and
if she have patience, tact and unset
fiishness, she can even sometimes
come closer to her brothers and sis
ters. because she is young, and in
sympathy with them. And should
the girl herself marry, she is certain
" better fitted to take charge of a
home than if she had been in store
or Office.
