If the women of Great Darlington,

many a man along in years who has

The servant problem has been an I'M

Barnes saw possible relief in Mills

in years who retired from active bust

were too much for his frail health.
Mrs. Barnes proposed to hire him as
a nurseman for her three-year-old
son Frederick, and Weaver gladly &C.

tai stage has been fairly passed and
Mr.. Weaver can be seen with his
charge almost daily, entertaining the
little fellow with interesting things
in shop windows and on the streets.

SOME HINTS ABOUT EGGS.
Popular Time for cooking-How Their
Freshness May Be Judged.

The fresher eggs are the longer
time they require for boiling. In tim
ing the boiling remember that they
should be put into water already boil
ing in the same pan or skillet.
To boil them very hard in order to
slice them or prepare them for a
mayonnaise they should cook for ten
minutes For eating the soft-hoiled
egg is supposed to be the most di'
gestible, and this is boiled for from
three to five minutes.
One of the best ways to Judge the
freshness of eggs is to place them in
a pan of cold water Those that sink
soonest are the freshest. Stale or
added eggs always float on the sur
face. Upon breaking an egg if the
white and yolk are not clearly de.
fined and separated, no matter how
carefully the shell has been broken,
the egg is not good and should be dis.
carded, for eggs the least bit off color
will spoil good cooking.

propositions But finally one of the

did Taft Smile2

A little story anent Secretary Taft,
which l think has never been in print,
was told the writer by friend vino
was an eyewitness. It was on a Wash
ington street car and nearly all the
seats were occupied. A pretty young
lady and bright-looking small boy
sat near the rear door. The car came
to halt and Secretary Taft entered.
OF course, every eye was fastened
upon the distinguished official, whQ,
with becoming stateliness and dignity
passed down the aisle to a vacant seat
in the rear end of the car. The small
boy climbed on the seat and watched
the royal progress with fascinated
eyes. Then, breaking the silence OF
awe, rose his clear, penetrating child.
igb voice:
"Aunte, auntie! Why has the gen.
tleman got his legs put on behind?"
The secretary sank into the nearest
seat and the silence was still further
broken by irrepressib1e giggles. -Bos-

WANT OLD TREE SAVED.
Fine Elm Not to Be Harmed by Eree'
ton of Statue.

81 am very glad" said an old Wash
ington citizen, who is lover of trees.
that President Roosevelt has taken q
personal interest in the statue of Kos
ciuszko, the Polish patriot who helped
to establish the republic of the Unit
ed States. He may learn something
of the SITE The statue Is to be erected
at the northeast corner of Lafayette
park, where it happens one of the
finest trees in the district-a magnin-
cent elm-graces that particular cor
ner of the park. 1t is possible that the
people in charge of the erection of the
statue may think it desirable to re-
move the tree in order to improve the
view. Many of the members or the
Cosmos club, located at the corner,
have acquired personal affection for
the grand old elm, which affords a
most grateful shade in the summer
time. When the site of the statue was
originally selected many months ago
an informal meeting was held and a
letter of protest was written to Col.
Bromwell, the engineer officer in
charge Of public buildings and
! grounds. He replied that their
wishes would be fully respect.
ed and that the statue would be erect
ed on the corner without endangering
the tree or its roots. Knowing Presi'
dent Roosevelt's great interest in
trees, it is hoped that he will see that
our grand old elm is not injured by
the new statue. The officials in charge
of the work of putting up the statue
say that there is room enough on the
corner for both the tree and the
statue, and that neither will interfere
with the other. / hope they are right
in their opinion, but I feel more safe
as to the tree in knowing that the
president is taking a personal interest
| in the project"

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case OF &c
zema, resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was SO well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
In July Of this year little BOY
IN our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
q mass Of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment, and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent, In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
sieura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable

WANTS THE cANTEEN BACK.
Old Washington Lady Has Formed
Lobby of One.

One of the most active woman
army canteen is said to be a little
lady who lives in South Washington,
and whose only son was killed in a
drunken brawl in one of the low dives
that infest the vicinity of army posts.
She pays frequent visits to the halls
of congress, and never fails, when she
meets a member of either house, to
urge him to vote for the repeal Of the
anti-canteen law Her son was pri
vate soldier and had been in the
army several years before the canteen
was abolished. Up to that time, she
explains, he was a comparatively
sober lad" But after the post ex
changes were done away with her son
sought the low places about the mill
tary reservations that had sprung uI
like mushrooms, and became addicted
to the use of the poisonous compounds
that were dealt out under the name OF
whisky" These, she added, converted
him into maniac for the time, anC
one day, while on pass and wild from
the effects of the stuff, he engaged In
a row and was killed. The burden o.
her plant to congressman is that i
the canteen had been left undisturbet
the boy would now be alive. She asks
them to restore it for the sake o.
some other mothers son who may BIZ

sorts and become confirmed drunk

She visited the capitol short time
ago and called the attention of thu
legislators to the fatal shooting in ;

the Potomac, as another tragic result
of the abolition of the army canteen.
