Moving Labor to Its Job.

"Aen wanted" IL the cry Of this con-
ttnent from Canada to Panama. Farm
ers want help In the fields, and build
err want hands to WELD the tools OF
construction. The cry is not new, but
heretofore II has been local in range.
Now the experts Of the government
who have been watching the variations
Of demand and supply declare that the
labor market IL unequal to the de-
mands Of the hour.
In the face of all Of this We hear
stories Of idle men In different parts or
the country. Sometimes the complaint
Of men who are Idle Is that they can
, not get work. Sifted down, this often
amounts to scarcity Of work which
the tOilers deem worth while. The
days wages offered may look attrac-
tive. but taking the year through the
man finds that the remuneration is too
small Permanent jobs on public
works pay less per diem than transient
Jobs on private enterprises. And yet
the supply on public jobs generally ex-
ceeds the demand.
One reason why labOring men prefer
the government job at low wages TO
better wages on private work is that it
enables them to live In permanent
home. Money goes farther In that
way. Grownup children get work, and
sometimes the housewife is an Garner.
Living with his family the workingman
sets more out of lfe and dollar goes
farther. The big wages are generally
away from home. 1t costs money to
pull up and travel hundreds Of miles.
And the job may last but season or
at best year or two. Manufacturers
pitch their plants in region where
population Is dense and laborers plen-
y. They have mastered the trick Of
getting the job and labor together. But
1t must remain a problem Of all tran
silent enterprises or those suddenly
swamped with work until other attrac-
tons are added to the bid of temporary
high wages.

Our Dead ..Elder Statesman.

The passing of United States Sena-
tor Edmund Winston Pettus is as
plainly demarcation Of the past from
the present as though mighty bell in
the capitOls dome had tolled of pc
Rod Of the country's history and its
echoes had penetrated the corners of
the republic.
1t will be many day before the in
duence of this old senator will die. He
was unconsciously but powerfully a
teacher of the simple life. On the rare
occasions when his voice was heard in
the senate 1t sounded like the voice of
one Of the fathers returned from the
past with warnings amounting to
prophecy. So simple, so direct, SO hon
est, was the message that the senate
halted instinctively in the midst of
great affairs to listen and to heed.
The influence thus exerted upon the
minds of the nations leading men was
peculiar, salutary and lasting. Wheth-
er they themselves were well down the
bAOpc VI y CuIb VI Ou luc buLliulI VI lie,
they listened with eagerness to the
counsel Of the elder statesman who
had achieved the greatness of SIM
plicity.
Senator Pettus did not win great
fame, nor did he seek 1t. His ambition
was not feverish, and he was too much
Of philosopher to burn up his ener-
gies in the race for trivial honors The
greatest and most Instructive quality
Of his character was simplicity. From
first to last Senator 'ettus had the
simplicity Of greatness. 1t Illuminated
his honor, his directness, his robust
scorn Of sham, his humor. his frugallty,
his courage and his philosophy. He
seemed to have borne in mind always
the saying of the first Of the seven
wise men, Moderation is best" So
he lived to green old age, accom-
plished much and died as the good man
dies.

ONE MANS IDEAS IN
REGARD TO WOMEN.

In the recent debate on the subject
of Woman suffrage in the British
House of Lords, Lord Crewe was cry
amusing. One conception of woman,
he said, has been that, together with
the cult of the saucepan M the man
gle, she should be prepared to stand
by and wipe the heated brow of 'ex-
allied being with whom she was privi-
legged to live. After a life of blameless-
ness and barley water she was sup
posed to retire to a chimney corner
and employ herself in making under
garments for innumerable g%randchil-
dren. If she was not so constituted as
to fill this picture she was regarded by
some as being determined TO enter
upon a career of breaking up political
meetings and assaulting the police.
Lord Crewe thought there was plenty
of room between these two extremes
for women to exercise useful influ-
ences in matter like sanitation, the
care Of children or lunatics and the
housing of the working classes.

Clothes value.

The true gentlewoman does not need
the very latest style of coat or hat or
the most expensive materials to pro-
claim her rank, even though she al
ways looks well and is never out of
date.
She gives but a fair portion of her
time to thoughts of self, for her in
t~erests are many, and prominent
among them is her husband and his
work.
l do not mean that women should be
frowsy, behind-the-timey, careless
creatures, who give no thought to their
looks, but l do think 1t is positively
wicked for them to make both their
husbands and themselves miserable for
the sake of a collection of the newest
ideas in wearing apparel.
Extravaganza is barely excusable
when you have the price, and when
you haven't 1t ought to meet with
actual punishment. MOLLIE.

HOW TO BROIL.

The first step in broiling is to have
the oven heated about ten minutes. II
steak is placed in a cold oven 1t will be
tough, poorly iavored and will not brown.
Put the steak In an ordinary folding
wire broiler over the broiling pan, as this
keeps it in shape and enables it to be
readily turned without the use of a fork.
Leave the broiling oven door open four
or five inches all the time the meat is
cooking. Broiling is better done in a we'll
ventilated oven; besides. you can then
watch it closely and keep 1t from burning.
DO not add seasoning until ready to
serve.
Scar the meat quickly on both sides;
Then allow 1t to broil from four to six
minutes OH each side. If the steak is
very thick, give it about ten minutes on
each side.
Tho thinner the steak, the closer II
should be placed to the lame. II one
inch or less in thickness, put as close as
possible without touching. If thicker Zone
and one-half inches or more) place it three
or four inches from the flame.

FOR MILADY's BEDROOM.

Among the very elegant new bedroom
furniture meant for fine country houses
one of the most attractive new styles is
that of gold cane with French gray
enamel. The walls of the bedroom were
hung with figured gray satin paper having
corner columns and woodwork of white.
The fireplace, of white thing. had a man.
tel of carved gray and white wood, and
the floor was covered with Persian rugs.
Another very handsome and unusual
iavendar paper with a narrow border Of
apartment was hung with polka dotted
rose g~arlands in pink and yellow.
The furniture in this room was of birds
eye maple, and the chairs were upholstered
in Powered chintz to match the border.
A most charming room for a child had
small white enamel and cane furniture, for
the most part varied with a small red
table and two red wooden chairs. The
walls were papered in two tones of brown
paper, the lower half being dark and the
upper light. Between these parts of the
wall there was a frieze of poster children
and animals. Here and there on the plain
wall a picture OF a child or animal OF
the poster variety wal framed in a narrow
red molding. The rugs were of rag car
pet with little dashes of red on a light
brown surface.

The Clothes Fever.

There is no end to the wants of the
woman who is silly over clothes.
She must not have only gown upon
gown, as new fashions come to the
fore. but she must have everything to
match-hats, gloves, shoes, hose, and
even jewelry, must be in perfect mar
mony. 1t is these things. more than
the dresses themselves, which bring
gray hairs and crows feet to the too
fond husbands who try to meet their
demands.
1t is really pitiful to note how much
time and strength and money are being
given by the well-to-do women of this
country for wearing apparel.
And If we disapprove of such lavish
expenditure at the hands of those who,
In a measure, can afford it, nov must
it strike us when we see the clothes
fever spreading among women of mod
crate means, and even those who are
actually poor
Women should learn to look ahead
clearly, and when it is necessary, TO
say emphatieally, 81 cannot afford it"
They should fix their standard of
dressing by their husbands pocket
books, and not by the clothes of their
neighbors who may be in much better
circumstances.

D0INGS OF ROYALTY.

When the German Emperor partook
of a regimental mess recently he was
much displeased by it's righteousness.
Subsequently he intimated to the au-
thorities that whenever he was pres
ent at a regimental mess the menu
should be restricted to soup, fish, vege-
tables, roast, cheese and butter. with
simple red or white table wines or
claret as beverages. The Emperor is
also trying to suppress all expensive
games in the army, such as polo.
The King and Queen of Spain have
been spending part of thAr summer at
the palace of San Il%defonso, al La
Granja, and are said to be leading a.
truly simple life. The Queen even goes
walking through the little village with
out a hat, though she always protects
her fair English complexion with a
parasol. Both their majesties spend
hours with their baby in the beautiful
gardens of La Granja.

Just what kind OF a girl Is uppermos'
In the average mans favor Is a ques-
ton over which women are pondering
One moment he seems to be entirely fol-
the tall. statuesque girl, who is SO lazfy
dignified that she seldom lifts her hands
to do anything, and the next he is liable
to be dancing attendance on a frivolous
little chatterbox whose ability to talk
nonsense is only equaled by her inability
to do anything practical, and so on
through h various types Of the creature
who was made to rule over man in one
way or another.
A middle-aged woman became interested
in the subject not long ago and started
a tour anon her bachelor friends, get
ting their opinipnsA and comparing them,
finally deciding that after all, 1t was the
domestic girl who was highest in favor
when 1t came to seriousness.
They do not like to admit 1t openly,
said she, ''but they all admire the girl
who is a good housewife, and who is not
above taking an interest in those things
which pertain to mans comfort. The
girl who is her mothers right hand in
the home is the one for whom they seek.
They like TO know that she can do some
thing besides look pretty and talk or
clothes. and they place much stress on
the value of an unselfiSh disposition.
rs that ALL" ~sarcastically asked a girl
who stood near. She was one whose COOK
ing ability was limited to the making or
cocoanut layer cake and fudge. why
don't they all hire general housekeepers.
I'm sure they'd find every one of those
characteristics set forth in the letters Of
reference" and she tossed her head indie
pendently.
''Oh, you may Scott" said the older
''but nevertheless it's true. And
l advise you to learn to make yourself a
little bit useful. Men aren't as romantic
as women, and naturally the practical
side of married life appeals to them more
strongly"
Hurry up, girls, and learn to be good
housewives, and when you are do not
keep your ability a secret. Let the men
know of it you will win.

GOSSIP OF THE
D~RESSMAKER.

Dressmakers and seamstresses often
have an unpleasant habit Of keeping pins
in the mouth while fitting a dress. This
custom is Objectionable on other grounds
than of personal fastidiousness. 1t Is
distinctly unhygienic. A fiat spincushion
should be among the equipments or every
sewing room, and it's use by the litter,
whether a dressmaker or a member or
ones family. should be insisted upon. 1t
can be worn suspended from a ribbon
round the neck. or pinned on a dress IN
some convenient position. Hair combines
saved and cleaned. make an ideal stuft1ng
for fat pincushions of this description,
being light. pliable and holding the pins
firmly.
1t Is the bold, wide stripes which are
considered the really chic thing in Paris,
and Parisians, always SO enamored OF
black and white, nave adopted the zebra
like fabrics. Sometimes the stripes are
allowed to run straight up and down. a
method. of course, which lends height,
but 1t is certainly a greater work of art
when the material is manipulated on the
cross. The stripes then meet in a series or
VS. down the centre front, and at the
back of the skirt are almost
the curves forming very gracefully on the
hips.
