MAKE 1t YOURSELF.
Tells Our Readers How to Mix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of large New
York daily paper the following valuable.
yet simple and harmless, prescription
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken regu-
larly for few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many so-called
Rheumatism remedies patent medicines
etc., some of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly appreci-
ated by many sufferers here at this time
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for oul
readers, if asked to.

Lincoln's Rules.

On one occasion President Lincoln
on entering the telegraph office Of the
war department, writes Mr.. Bates in
"Lincoln In the Telegraph Office" was
heard to remark to Secretary Seward.
"By jings, governor, we are here at
lastv Turning to him in a reproving
manner, Mr. Seward said, ''Mr. Presi-
dent, where did you learn that inele-
CANT expression?" Without replying
to the secretary, Lincoln addressed the
telegraph operators, saying:
''Young gentlemen, excuse me for
swearing before you. BY jings' is
swearing, for my good old mother
taught me that anything that had a
by before it was swearing"
One day Secretary Seward, who was
not renowned as a joker, said he had
been told that short time before on
a street crossing Lincoln had been
seen to turn out in the mud to give a
colored woman a chance to pass.
eyes, said Lincoln, sit has been a
rule of my life that if people would
not turn out for me I would turn out
for them. Then you avoid collisions"

He did not so much mind parting with five dollars of his hard learned salary inasmuch as he is man of considerable wealth, but he immediately decided that it was un- constitutional for the state to delegate police powers to a private Organiza- ton such as the cruelty society" He thereupon became the champion of op- pressed dogdom and set out to obtain legal decision as to the constitution al rights of dogs and their owners. The case has got as far as the su- preme court of the state, but it is likely to be carried through higher tribunals to the supreme court in Washington. Meanwhile the fate of Brian Boru hangs in the balance. If he finally goes the chloform path he will have the questionable satis faction of knowing that his name figures in voluminous court reports and may be cited in precedents cen turies hence.

UPPfRMOSI QUESTION
 AMONG THE DEMOCRATS
Who Will Be Bryan's Companion on
 the Denver Ticket.

VI
 Denver. June 25.-Even among the few democrats of prominence who have come to Denver to attend the democratic convention to be held in this city beginning two weeks from today, the choice of a candidate for vice president is the leading theme Already it is evident that in this respect at ls&st lthe convention will be "a counterparts of the republican convention at Chicago.
 As the choice among the candidates. Johnson of Minnesota has a decided lead. Little attention is paid to the announcement that he is not a candi date. and will not accept
 Those who favor him say, while he has been successful in, Minnesota, he has not won such a place in the party that he could afford to decline the nomination for second place on the democratic national tickst. They con- tend that he is the one available man who would properly supplement Bry- ans candidacy. They say that hes has been put forward as candidate for the presidency by eastern democrats, and that tbey urge that those. democrats would support him just as strenuously for the vice -presidensy. They declare that they must have him."
 This favoritism toward the Minne- sota man for second place does not contemplate the possibility of Bryan's failure: but even in the face of in- structions, there are some who con tend that the Nebraskan cannot win on the first ballot, and that therefore the Mipnesotan has a fighting chance. This contention is evidently made, how ever in the hope that there may be a contest worthy of the name by those who would like to see the convention prolonged.
 The friends of Johnson say that, re- gardless of prospects. their candidate will be placed in nomination for first position. As rule they refuse to dis euss the possibility of him being named for. president

Masculine Modes Shoes and Comfort

spends as nearly as possible to the shape of the toes.
 Within the past few years giace kid shoes have beeame very popular. and they are certainly more comfortable than shoes of any other kind of leather. The reason is Smple enough. Glace kid shoes soon stretch when they are worn; your feet have free play, and the result of that happy arrangement Is that they cer tainly grow larger than they would grew If you imprisoned them In calf shoes. It is probable that even this warning will have the effect of making glace kid shoes unpopular, for when you have once worn them It Is very difficult to take 10 any others; all others feel un- comfortable.
 Presuming that the fact that glace kid shoes allow your feet room for expan- sion Is not to be considered a drawback: there Is practically only one dlsadvan- tGge attached. The kid has m unpleus- ant way of acquiring q rusty tinse, and no amount of brushing Gnd polishing has any effect on it. Now, black shoes must be let black if you value your personal appearance at all. and the simplest way of bringing back their pristine beauty 10 a pair of glaee kid shoes is to apply a little homemade dressing, composed of equal parts of shoemakers ink and milk You can get the ink from any shoe-repairer. and oue teaspOonful mixed with one teaspoonful of milk will be enough for one pair.
 If shoes fit properly in the first place one ought to be able to wear them straightway without discomfort. Still many men are ayerse Co having shoes a shade too large for them at first. and rather than run the risk of having such they get a pair that are really a shade

, good thing to have. You will want an umbrella and a cane. For headgear, take a derby or bowler, black for preference, a straw hat and a tweed cap. As re- gards footwear, one pair of brown shoes or boots, a pair of black shoes or boots, enamel or glace kid, pair of enamel oxford ties or else evening patent leather shoes and pair of slippers. Two suits of warm and two suits of summer un- degclothlng and half dozen pairs Of socks, two of which should be warm ones. with q dozen collars. will be suffi- cient and desirable for the other main articles of clothing. As to shirts. three colored soft bosomed and three white dress shirts should be ample, unless you are making rush trip and have no time to wait here and there for laundry. Then, add to the shirts and un- derclothing. Do not take q frock coat or morning coat, for that entails silk hat and a hatbox. The Continental So- ciety seasons are in the winter. The London season ends about the middle of July, and a neat serge suit and a straw hat cannot be beaten. and are accepted everywhere. Should you be staying a week or two In England and have friends there and are good at sports by afl means take your tennis shoes and your white flannel trousers. You may get a day on the river fin England.
 A trayeling rug is a very comfortable thing, particularly on the steamer. Here is where you will find your heavy cloth ing, your ulster and your cap useful.
 Do not imagine that because 1t is 90 in the shade when you sail from New York that 1t will be warm all the way over. Mid Atlantic is very cool, and sitting in deck chair at night Is not to be thought of without warm overcoat or rug.
 On some of the bigger boats the men and women change for dinner in the eveuing--that is, the women put on rule. put on dinner jackets and a black tie. Your evening dress will be particu- larly useful to you 1h England. where everyone dresses every evening. A straw hat with evening clothes, particularly dinner jacket, is quite accepted as the American fashion in London. On the Continent, as a tourist a dress suit will be no use to you at all.
 For dinner the first night on the steamer and en Sunday night 1t will not be necessary for you to dress. In fact, you need not dress On any evening if you do not want to. There is no rule.
 For the first day wear your smartest sack suit and straw hat. changing the latter for your cap when you are once down the Bay. At the first meal you can occupy any seat you wish. but on leaving the saloon the chief steward will ask your name and allot you a place. If you are travelling with party or desire some particular seat at the tables, then is the time to speak about it.
 Sleep in pajamas. You will find them much more comfortable aboard ship than a nightshht. The first morning at sea put on your heavier underwear. tan boots and your cap. and wear soft. coiored

between you. What with the time spent in the -smoking-room or exercising or playing games on the deck. the chair will not be much occupied. If you do get chair you can leave your rug and over coat there the first thing in the morning until required. Have pair of warm gloves in the pocket of the overeoat. They may be useful.
 It Is advisable to see the bathroom steward before retiring the first night and arrange time for your bath These baths arc very refreshing, and are of sea water, hot. cold or tepid. but you cannot use soap in them, for 1t will not father. This is where your 'pajamas, slippers and ulster come in very useful and save the carrying of bathrobe. But you must get to your bath when the steward an- nounces 1t, for there is another man on the list half an hour later.
 The question of tips and other useful hints will be given in a later article

TtXAS ORGANIZATION
 AGAINST FOOL LAWS
Business Interests Have Had Enough
 of Repressive Legislation.

San Antonio, June 25-A new move in Texas politics appears to be arising out of the organization of commercial secretaries, who have started a cam paign for fewer and better laws. This slogan, which has been accompanied by criticisms of some of the more radi- cal laws passed by the last legislature of Texas, has aroused the ire of Gov ernor Campbell, who has denounced the movement as political intrigue. The men behind this movement bitterly re- sent this characterization and declare that their organization is not for the interest of any individual, but purely to prevent the radical legislation which has hamDered the development of Tex as. They cite such cases as the Rob ertson insurance law, which drove all the big insurance companies out of Texas, and the radical anti-pass law, which has hampered the immigration work Of Texas.
 Meanwhile. contrary to the custom in Texas, where the governor is elected for two years. with the understanding that there will be no opposition to his reelection, opposition has developed

 You can havs>your shoes stretched by the man who made them, but you will find that, however much they have been stretched in this way, 1t has always been possible to stretch them a little more by the simple act of wearing them. The stretching apparatus would be all right if 1t were exactly the shape Of ones foot, but 1t is not, and,- therefore, if the shoes are n shade too small. the only really effective way of stretching them Is to wear them.
 There are two ways of breaking In such shoes in order to make them com fortable.

Going to Europe for ones vacation is
 becoming more popular every year. The cost is not very high and a trip over the Atlantic Is quite a change for those who for years have been spending their vacations at some inland springs resort or at the seaside on the lakes or in the mountains or woodland camps. The following hints to intending travellers may be useful. .---.--.---
 The two most important hints are re garding clothes and tips. Do not .take too many clothes with you and do. no tipping until the end of the voyage. With both these matters the details de pend entirely on what class you are traveling. The second class on the big liners nowadays is quite as good, if not superior, to the first class of 10 years ago. Going to Europe second class is really a joy, but coming back that class Is generally crowded to the limit, be cause of the better sort of emigrants. Yet. If one has a return ticket a birth is always. assured. and the crowd is generally jolly and full of fun. If travelling second class you can wear any sort of clothes you like and you will always be comfortable. One suit Is quite enough, good blue serge or tweed lounge or sack suit, which will last you throughout your trip as your travelling suit.s You will also only need three soft eolored shirts and half dozen collars. Regarding other com forts and clothes l would refer the sec ond cabin passenger to the hints for the saloon or irst-class passenger.
 Don't take too much baggage. If you are going over to pay a long round of visits oi in an official capacity, where there will be a multitude of entertaining. then, by all means take a couple of trunks, with plenty of clothes. but if just going for a vacation trip one steamer trunk and .valise or easily carried handbag is all sufficient. On the continent baggage is great nuisance. Only 56 pounds are allowed free, and you have to pay through the nose for excess. In Swift zerland and Italy you are allowed no free baggage, except a small parcel or two in the ear with you. There is also in England and Europe generally no sys- tenn of checking baggage. You must personally look after it every once in while, to see if it is still on the train and every few hours you must open 1t up for the customs. So, the less bag gage the more enjoyment.
 Take just as little clothes as will do you comfortably for the trip to London. If you are going that way. You will Ndul lO Dut clOlues lHeEt. SullS hHu clothes generally are One-haH and one quarter the price prevailing here. Shirts. ,underclOthing and footwear are better and cheaper on this side.
 For suits take a tweed or serge travel ing sack suit. a warm and thick one. A blue serge of thinner material or a gray summer suit is also advisable. Also take your dress suit or at any rate your dinner jacket 4 heavy overcoat or ulster is also necessary. and thin sum mer coat Of waterproof material is q
