Joseph Letter to Take an Army Bride

formidable rival in a naval officer who
is very popular, but has no fortune.
That Mrs. Letter favored her sons
suit was evident, although she has
not showered upon Miss Williams the
attentions she has shown Miss Elkins.
Last autumn Mr.. Letter established
several hunts and took daily exercise
on a nearby Virginia farm to enable
him to join the cross country riders of
the Orange County hunt of which Miss
ElKins is one of the two girl mem
bers. Mrs. Letter is said to have in
formed one of her conf1dants that to
win the young West Virginia girl as
her daughter-in-law she would settle
S3,000,000 on the bride, give the young
people the use of her Dupont Circle
house, and beQueath to her daughter
in-law the famous ruby tiara and neck
lace that even in London society are
regarded as particularly choice jewels.
According to the gossip of clubs and
drawing rooms the engagement will
be short one The honeymoon will
be abroad with presentation at the
court of st. James and taste Of the
London season under the guidance of
the countess Of Suffolk as Its most
brilliant and alluring features. Mrs.
Letter, in view of her sons prospective
marriage, has abandoned her intention
of going abroad for the summer.

ARRIVAL OF Christopher Columbus. He
mad several bouts with Senator Clam.
the tall, dignified chairman of the In.

Flenty Coos prevailed finally, and an
agreement was reached to bury the
natchet, smoke the pipe and go back
to the reservation. Plenty Coos wound
up his descent upon the capitol in
the committee room by rising in his
place and making solemn tender of
ms beautiful eagle-feathered bonnet to
chairman Clapp. Senator Clapp, who
Is from Minnesota, blushed and re-
FUSED to put on the royal headgear.
There was a moment of embarrass.
ment which was suddenly relieved by
the senator of Cherokee blood. To
him the bonnet was "call of the wild"
Hand me the bonnet" said Senator
owen. Plenty Coos beamed with de-
light and extended the bonnet, which
was made of the trophies Of a hundred
American eagle wings. Senator Owen
gravely put it on his head and struck
the attitude of Osceola or Black Hawk,
or King Philip delivering an ulti-
matum to the palefaces. Then he
whirled around and around, threw an
invisible tomahawk and finally sat
down amid great applause" as they
say in the Congressional Record.

B0RAX In THE DAIRY
A Matter Of Profitable Interest to
the Farmer and Dairyn1an

The problem of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint Of staleness
left in a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
is left Is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue Of its own which is, IL any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
that there has been constant clamor
for dairy cleanser and sweetener
that will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation On this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon prod
uct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax
Scientists have long known borax as
cleanser, sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harm
full and promotes and preserves fresh
ness, sweetness and purity, relieving
the dairyman and dairy housewife Of
drudgery and Of needless work and
worry
It's cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities OF
every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
Of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time dread to the cow and a
worry to the mixer.

BUYING PAINT eLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of
blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed Oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put.

send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
