"7oo Sure"

"Don't let a man be too sure of you
Never tell him the whole truth about
how much you care for him. You'll be
lots happier So"
That is the advice given the Wom-
ems Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians by wise man, man with
a fine, stern profile and a twinkle in
his eye-Father O'Toole of Wellsboro
priest who is blessed with a great
love for human nature and a vast COM
prehension of it.
He talked to his feminine audience
Of the one subject in which perhaps
women are most Observation-Disclosures
He gave them some excellent advice as
to how to get good husbands and how
to keep them. And this is what he
said:
"Don't do the counting yourself
Don't let your courtship end with
marriage Don't let the honeymoon
end at all.
Don't do all the work and let yout
husband have all the fun. Share and
share alike, is a pretty good sort of
rule
"Don't wear your heart on your
sleeve so that your lover can see his
name placarded there.
"Be a bride all your life.
"And never let a man be too sure Of
you"
1t is evidently human and sensible,
such advice as this. 1t might almost
be called practical. 1t scars to no
heights of triumphant self effacement,
plumbs no depths of passionate devo-
ton. 1t has to do with no primrose
path of love and exaltation and sur
render. 1t treats in all sanity of every
day happiness and contentment. It
throws upon the workaday existence
of all of us the searchlight of simple
common sense.
And. curiously enough it is not easy
advice, this of Father O'TooIe's, to fol-
low. For the woman who is, as the
gossips say, very much in love" the
predominant desire of life seems to be
to let the man she loves know chow
much she cares" She doesn't realize
and neither, most likely, does the man
how her very sweetness, her gay lit
tie way of doing all sorts of foolish
and unnecessary and delightful things
for her lover. is going to lessen through
some pitiless intricacy of the mascu.
line mind her value in his eyes.
The wise woman realizes that she is
to be won not easily and that won
she is to be cherished.
In all phases of our complex exist
ence it is what man works for that
he values. 1t is what he must keep on
working for that holds his interest and
his devotion and his loyalty.

A Mexican Recipe.

Travellers who have been to Mexico
will recall this popular Mexican dish,
which if carefully prepared is said to
be delicious. 1t is the ''chili reinas, y
or stuffed peppers:
Cut chilli peppers lengthwise down
the sides, remove the seeds and care
fully roast in hot ashes, after which
the outer skin can be thoroughly
wiped off. Crate dry cheese and stuff
the peppers full of this, press the two
sides together and fasten. According
to the number of peppers prepared,
take enough eggs for liberal dressing,
beat the whites and yolks separately
to light froth and then mix them.
Have ready a frying pan, with suff1-
cient boiling lard to cover the peppers.
Dip each pod into the frothy egg for a
moment, then drop into the boiling
lard, pouring over each more of the
egg while the frying peppers are turn
ed. Serve with a chill sauce to which
have been added a few chopped green
walnuts

THE NOr1INEE FOR VICE
 PRESIDENT

John Worth Kern, who was nomi- mated by the Denver convention as the Democratic candidate for vice president of the United States, should add great strength to the ticket where added strength may win the vote of doubtful state.
 Kern was born in Howard county. Indiana, in 1849, and was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1869. He has been reporter of the Indiana Supreme court, state sena- tor, city attorney of Indianapolis, and was the unsuccessful candidate of his party for governor of his state in 1900 and 1904. He also re- ceived the complimentary vote of the Democrats for United States senator in 1905. He is lawyer and a resident of Indianapolis.
 Not only would a strong man from Indiana be an important factor in any presidential race. but this year such a man is especially important for the Democratic ticket. The way the Taft steam roller flattened out Fairbanks at Chicago has made wide spread soreness in Indiana. As a result, whooping enthusiasm for Taft is lacking. The situation ere ated Democratic opportunity, and in John w. Kern the Democrats found man to enable them to make the best possible effort to improve that opportunity Gazette.

SAVE FRUIT FOR FAIR.
Ice Company Offers Free Storage For Peaches to be Held For
 Display.

Polk county fruit growers have some exceedingly fine peaches aud other fruit ripening at present and they should see to 1t that the best of it is put on cold storage and held for the Fair.
 President Norwood announces that MT. Jones of the Mena Ice plant has very generously offered 10 give free storage for all the fruit they have room for. With this liberal offer fine display can be held for the fair.
 Peaches should be careful ? picked just as they are maturing, nicely colored but not soft. Each one wrapped carefully in paper and packed in small, light, airy baskets or boxes and taken to the Cold Storage rooms as soon as possible after picking. Be sure that they do not get br uised.
 Perfect fruit cared for in this manner can be held for the fair nicely.

Lady Baltimore Cake.

Here is a South Carolina recipe for this cake, deservedly favorite in all Southern dining rooms long before Mr. Owen Mister heaped drawing room honors upon it, says July Woman's Home Companion.
 "Two-thirds of cupful of butter, five eggs. two cupfuls of sugar, four cupfuls of flour, one half cupful of rich milk, two level teaspoonfuls of cream of tarter and one level tea spoonful of soda. Cream half the sugar with the butter, beat the re- maining sugar into the yolks of the eggs, and sift the cream of tartar and soda twice through the flour; beat the eggs and sugar together with the butter and sugar, add the milk slowly. and finally beat in the flour and stiffiy beaten whites of the eggs. Flavor half this mixture with rose, and into the other half beat one teaspoonful of powdered cinna- mon, one teaspoonful of powdered cloves and one grated nutmeg, and flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond; bake in four layer-cake pans-two white layers and two spiced layers.
 For the filling. Cut fine one cupful of seeded raisins, shred thin half citron melon, grate one small cocoanut and blanch three-tourths of pound of almonds; make an ordinary boiled icing, and into it beat all these ingredients save the almonds. Put the mixture thickly between the layers, and finish the top layer which should be a white one with sprinkled powdered sugar and the almonds stuck in porcupine wise. The measuring cups are ordinary coffee cups and are filled just level. This is a successful recipe and one easily followed"

FATHER EXPLAINS
 SUICIDE OF SON
Says Joe Thomason Thought His First Wife Had Secured Divorce Discovered The Mistake
 Too Late.

Hot Springs, July 12.- r. Thomas son, father of J. r. lhofn- asun Jr., the 24.year-old man who killed himself July 4 at Kansas City three days after bis second u arriage, returned here tonis nt from the funeral, giving the foi- owing explanation of the suicide: Toe Thomson, the son. had SIX years ago married Hettie Nichols of this city, and they separated about a year ago.

 MENA AL WAYS GROWING.

No question about it. Mena, Ark, is the best town on the map. She will be l2 years old next month. and there has never been day in that time that Mena was net better, bigger town than the day previous.
 Last October the country was hard hit with a panic The first place it was felt was in railroad circles, and although Mena is very much rail- road town, and business was natural ly seriously affected, yet travelling men and visitors from all parts com ing to Mena state that they know of no town where business conditions are equal to what they find here.
 There is reason for this satisfac- tory state of affairs. Mena is an attractive little city. Everybody WI o comes here is pleased. They see our beautiful park, many beauti- tul homes, fine business houses and walks connecting them, and know at once that we have the right kind of people here the kind of people re- quired to make progressive town. Winter or summer they like our climate and the whole year around the pure soft water makes visitors want to live here and those who go away long to get back again.
 For these reasons, and many minor ones, our city is always advancing.
 Yes they say times are dlll'' and yet let's see, the big Jackson and Masonic three story building has just been completed. The Elks $12,- 900 home is in steady course of con struction. Work has just started on the Lochridge and Hamilton brick business blocks. the contract has been let for the handsome Baptist church to cost near SEQ, 900, and the School Board is advevertising for bids for the new high school build. ing to cost between $l0,000 and $l5, 900.
 Aside from these the new boa factory will soon be ready for busi ness and drive through any portion of the residence district will show many new homes under construction and substantial additions and repair. being made on others.
 Yes Mena is a good town made ur of happy, prosperous, healthful peo pie and it is growing better every day.

days. Could you do as well by me as that 2" The affair was busted then and there.
 When a newcomer has lived in a town for a few months and beglns to abuse the town, he isn't express ing his opinion of the town so much as he is echoing the estimate the town has placed on him.
 When a woman is young, she will wash all the morning and iron all the afternoon to have clean dress that she will only wear once. AS she grows older, she buys clothes that don't need washing.
 When a man tells his friends that he has accepted a position he doesn fool them a bit. They know from experience that the position was not offered him, but that he bounded It for months. Not one man in twenty ever has a position offered him.
 It is noticed that when men get up a church entertainment, they are more prompt about settling the ex- penses than women are. A woman will pay her own debts better than 3 man but she thinks that all debts should be forgiven if incurred in the name of the Lord.
 When a drunkard finally goes to pieces and disgraces himself and hls family, drinking men never seem tt pay any attention to it. The habit of drinking whisky is the queeres1 thing we know anything about. We cannot understand it. Although every drinking man knows he IS or the road to ruin, he doesn't seem tt care: he seems to take delight 1T woi rying his friends.

eak Kidneys Make
 w Weak Bodies.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
 mon Aches and Ills of Humanity.

As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hastens the final break down.
 OverwOrk, strains, cold and other eau ,es injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an ever increasing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act direct Iy on the kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Their cures are the proof.
 E. P. Allen, gardner, of 15l6 East Sixth avenue, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: My Experience with Doan's Kidney Pills has been exceedingly satisfactory. They stopped the pain in my back which was almost constant and greatly aggravated if I took cold or dld an extra hard days work. In addition to the aching, irreg- ularity of the kidneys secretions existed and at times they were highly colored. Before | used Doan's Kidney Pills I tried more than one preparation guaranteed to cure kidney complaint but I met with indifferent success. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from the start. The backache under the treatment grew less and less and soon disappeared.

voters in the coming Presidential and Congressional election this year. The way to cope with this condition is at variance with the past theory of necessarily electing a President and House of the same political party.
 The one big issue is greater than either of the leading political organi- cations. If it should be necessary to cross party lines to meet this issue the people should be ready to apply this remedy in the national elections, as they have learned to apply the same remedy in state and municipal elections.
 The one big issue is the continu- ance of the general policies of the Roosevelt administration. It makes no difference whether these policies were taken from the progressive element of the Democratic party, or the progressive element of the Re publican party, for there is no doubt that there is progressive element in the latter the same as there is a reactionary element in the former, as is shown by the convention fights and the two defeats of Bryan. The fact remains these are the policies of the people. They are put forth in the strongest terms in the Democratic platform and in a more conservative way in the Re publican platform. Nevertheless if Mr. Taft is elected to the Presidency there are few who doubt but that he will to his utmost ability give the country a progressive administra- ton.
 If MT. Bryan is the next president he may be depended upon to do all in his power to assert them.
 With this condition the people must see to it that their Senators and Representatives are for these progressive policies.
 Had it not been for the reaction ary element in the past congress the result would have been very differ ent.
 The next president of the United States will be for progressive re forms and if the people see to it that he is not tied down by reactionary congress the prospects will be mighty good for the common people to gel their rights.

TALK OF BEEF TRUST PROSE-
 CUTION

Report comes from Washington that the Department of Justice is planning another wrestle with the Beef trust. The recent advance in the price of beef, at time when there is no apparent reason therefor, is considered most too brazen and it is said the law officers of the govern ment are determined that something shall be done, and about the only thing that will do any good is to make beef baron eat beef neck be- hind prison bars.
 Bryan is surely right that this is the only effective remedy. The most striking benefit seen from trust prosecution, and that local in its effect, was when the ice barons of Indianapolis found themselves in prison.
 It is probably not the pohcy of the administration to run amuck among the trusts this summer, for 1t is recognized that the business of the country will benefit by rest from trust prosecutions, as it is desirable both from an economic and political standpoint that business have every chance to recover.
 A vigorous prosecution of the Beef trust should not disturb busi. ness generally and dear dinner is the one thing that is not wanted at this time.
