shape of curt decision on the part of the store keepers not to give one fur ther cent of credit without the men re- turned to their legitimate work. A res olution to this effect had been passed by the merchants at secret meeting, and the result was immediate and de- cisive. The idle men who were without money turned to the supposedly all powerful Federation for relief, but Pc. triella had failed to anticipate this de- velopment and he was powerless, and possibly reluctant, to authorize an ex- penditure of funds. The men grum- bled, but returned to work. Today 80 per cent of the strikers are engaged at their old tasks, and the mines are ship ping ore in large volume.

as an anarchistic society, whose san guinary history was such as to preclude Americans, or other self respecting men from joining 1t; Petriella was held up to scorn by them as self seeker, utterly careless of the rights or wei fare of his followers. The labor organ published in Duluth pointedly told or ganized labor that the American flag was good enough for Americans and that the banner of anarchy was not to be tolerated. Two bishops, Catholic and Episcopalian, denounced the Wes- tern Federation. Lawyers, doctors and business men were loud in their con- demnation; no one defended it. So eleven days after the strike began the Federation was isolated from sympathy.
 Then came the introduction of new and totally unexpected element in the situation. With ample credit at the stores, with plenty of food and no work, the great mass of the striking miners was content to remain idle and wait upon events. The men did not realize that public opinion was strongly against the unfair attitude of their la bor leader, and that public opinion is not only extremely potent but acts un- expectedly at times.

The up-to-date girl will be delighted with
those lovely vanity bags seen at Frank
Hollis. They are shown In gold and silver,
with beautiful frames, and are fitted with
the many little accessories necessary TO a
woman.
The little people have not been forgotten
at Bam~berger's In the way Of pretty
dresses. Among the best styles shown are
Buster Brown models In fine percales
and chambrays.
Dainty string ties of sheer lawn. with
p~rettlly embroidered ends. in pale blue and
pink. are shown at the David Straus store.
These are a pretty adjunct to the summer
dresses.
A crepe de chine scarf with gorgeous
Dresden roses is one of the pretty novel;
ties seen at L. s.. Plaut & Co.'s. These wiz
be found useful during the cool summer
evenings as a shoulder or head wrap.
A pretty porch jardiniere seen at
Hahne's Is decorated with japanese iris
and leaves. With a palm or plant 1t will
give a touch of nature to the home.
Those dainty cotton voiles seen at w. V.
Snyder's are In popular demand. They are
shown in floral designs and pretty shadow
plaids that will please the most fastidlous.
A smart little hat seen at Lissner's Is of
white Milan braid In the popular sailor
shape. 1t Is draped with a scarf Of soft
white silk and hound around the edge
with a fold OF black velvet. The general
effect Is striking and stylish.

DEPENDS ON COIFFURE.

1t Is practically impossible to consider
the more extreme hat shapes of the sea-
son and the coiffures separately. The new
couture is a difficult thing to manage.
Women should experiment patiently and
intelligently with 1t and should consider
1t in its relation to the head as well as to
the hat. Otherwise we shall owe the new
millinery a deep and lasting grudge for
the iamentable influence it has had upon
the hair dressing of the average woman.
At a recent function one of the most adj
mired women were a huge plumed hat in
all black. The wide brim turned up
sharply at the left side. leaving the entire
side of the head in view, the full rolling
masses of hair and the cleverly placed
puffs softening every angle of union wiki
hat and head. The right side of the hat
and the back were an avalanche of beau
tlful black plumes, but the hat, handsome
as It was, would have been a failure had
not the couture SO ably supplemented the
milliner's efforts.

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS.

To lose ~self-control is to lose the key
to any situation. No man who cannot
hold himself in hand can expect to hold
others. 1t has been well said that. in
any discussion or disagreement with
another. If you are in the wrong you
cannot afford to lose your temper, and
If o are in the right there is no oc-
casion to. Or. as a lawyer wittily put
1t, Possession is nine points of the
law; self-possession is ten"
All men have their frailties, and
whoever looks for a friend without Inn
perfection will never find what he
seeks. We low ourselves no~twithstand-
ing u faults. and we ought to love
u friends in like manner.
Have courage enough to review your
own conduct, to condemn it where you
detect your own faults, to amend 1t tc
the best of your ability, to make good
resolves for your future guidance, and
to keep them.
1t Is never too soon nor ever too late
to press home on ourselves questions
like the following: What spirit dwells
in my heart? What good have I been
doing? What works of love have l
done? What deeds of charity have I
performed? What fruits of the spirit,
what evidence of love, have l to show?
We must answer these questions some
day. Why not press them now on our
heart and reflect upon them?
A girl who has been taught by her
mother to respect the confidence of
others. learns at the same time how
safe her own will be in her mothers
loving care. In the desire for complete
confidence between mother and daugh-
ter, neither should forget that a due
reserve is both necessary and desirable
in regard to the confidence of other
people. No girl should repeat, no
mother listen to, anything which has
beer obviously said to the girl alone,
Besides, a desire for unlimited conf
dences is a sign of weakness on both
sides. A certain amount of reserve Is
the hallmark of all strong characters

show Good results.

As a matter of fact. l believe the
cooking classes and the other depart
ments mentioned are excellent addi-
lions to the public schools. True, the
children who get the most benefit from
these studies are the offspring of III
foreign-born citizens, but the children
of the American citizen enjoys just the
same advantages, ever II he does not
put them to such good use, and because
a child is fo~reign-born or the child OF
foreign parents shall we rear them in
ignorance and deny them the right to
become good citizens?
/ am liberal enough to say that l do
not think our cooking schools have
reached the highest point of perfection,
that our instructors nave much to learn
before a perfect system will be OBJ
tained, but Rome wasn't built in u
day." and these departments are COM
! paratively new.
Some one asks, "Why squander
money trying to perfect such a system?
Why not drop the whole thing and
stick to arithmetic, reading and writ
ing?'
Money spent gaining good practical
experience Is not squandered, and the
experience gained by the children is
proof sufficient that it is well spent.

ut makes no difference how hard ! work
at home. l seldom get much thanks for IT,,
a young girl was heard to say a few days
ago. at do most of the cooking, and help
with the work at house-cleaning time,
she added. but no matter what I accom-
plish 1 always hear, well, it is what
we expect of you"
Now. his particular girl has older sis
ters, who GO out to work in offices every
day, but she. poor thing, is the household
drudge for the entire family. True. the
mother oversees the work, but 1t fails
to the lot of our young friend TO perform
the slavish work, because, to tell the truth
of her. she would not have her mother do
1t. When the older girls come home IN
the evening there is always a nice meal
awaiting them which she has prepared,
and the beautifully Numbered finery which
they find in their rooms after wash day
Is the result of her careful labor. and
still they stint their kindness.
There is not a man, woman or child
who does not like to know that the work
they perform Is appreciated, and when
they do their level best to please, it Is only
fair to let them know their efforts have
not been unnoticed.
There are q great many parents who
never tell their children that anything
they do is pleasing. satisfactory, or even
/ properly done. They say children should
know 1t is their duty to do a thing, do
1t right, and there the matter Is dropped.
A little appreciation sometimes means
more than money. 1t Is the sunshine
that breaks through the dark cloud and
brlghtens the darkest day, II there Is nc
appreciation whatever. sooner or later the
spirit lags and the poor, tired worker Ii
too depressed to make further effort.
We hear a great deal about what chill
dren owe their parents, but this Is some,
thing parents owe their children. and J.
Is n very little tri0e to bestOW when al
Is summed up and why II should be with
held Is dinlcnlt to understand.

one woman's view.

/ heard a young woman complain a
few days ago of the way the finances of
the city are being handled, and she laid
particular stress on the appropriations
which have been made to better the
facilities in the public schools. THE
people should not be taxed" she said.
ito support every new-fangled idea the
commissioners see fit to introduce into
the schools"
She was particularly strong in her
denunciation of the cooking school, the
manual training department, the
kitchen garden and the summer play
grounds. No argument could convince
her that the children in the schools, the
children of the poor. would benefit by
all of these advantages. She looked at
the matter from but one viewpoint.
and that was that the taxpayers are
being imposed upon In being obliged to
support these Institutions.
She Is not the mother of a family and
has no little children being trained in
these several useful branches, and, be-
sides, she Is not poor. or perhaps she
would see it in the same light that the
taxpayers whe have children do, that
they are getting something for their
money.

The world is full of just such people
who never want to do their share
towards lettering the conditions of hui
mainly.
why should I pay to teach a lot of
ignorant foreign girls how to cook?"
asks this woman "NNhy don't they
learn their cooking in their homes as
/ did,"
But that's just the question, Why
don't they? And the answer is that
for the one mother who is far-seeing
and frugal enough to teach her chill
dren there is a dozen, yes, a hundred,
who are so helpless and shiftless and
so careless of their young that such
a thing as ~instructing them never
enters their heads. Again, many
mothers of the poorer class do not know
how to cook. they have spent the best
part OF their lives working In mills
and factories trying to keep soul and
body together. How, then, are they
going to teach their girls to bake
bread. to make good, nourishing soups
and the hundreds of ways to prepare
their food so that 1t will do them the
most good?
Because these children have not had
the advantages some of us enjoy shall
we grudge I hem this little bit of
knowledge which will enable them to
better their social conditions, to live
decently and make better citizens and
become better men and women? Sure
ly not. Give them all we can afford;
Put every opportunity in their way.
They, too, will be taxpayers some day,
and Will do just what we are doing for
! those who will come after them.

Preserved Pineapple-Pare the pineapple
and carefully pick out every particle of

sharp point is best for this. Either pick
up with a silver fork or CRATE off the

stand over night. In the morning bring
to n boil. skim and cook slowly half an
hour. Pour into jars and cool before
sealing. Prepared in this way the fruit
is delicious.

In n jumper suit is worthy of mention. The
dress was made in two separate pieces,
waist and skirt, and the waist was out
lined with a band of white silk about one
inch wide. 1t was sleeveless with n sur

under white shoulder straps. The guimpe
was of soft, thin lace. The skirt of nine
cores looked neat In wide plaits, which
were stitched only a short distance from
the waist, enough to give a smooth effect
over the hips.
