AN AMUSING TRICK.

Supposed Picture on Slate Turned
Into Dancing Figure.
The trick here described is certain to
cause much establishment if well ar
ranged beforehand. Get a piece of
board about the size of large school
slate and have it painted black. The
paint should be what is known as a
dead color, without gloss or bright
ness. Sketch out the figure of skele-
ton on a piece of cardboard and ar
range it after the manner of a jump
ing jack. SO that by holding the figure
by the head in one hand and pulling a
string with the other the figure will
throw up its legs and arms in a most
ludicrous manner Make the connec-
tioE of the arms and legs with black
string and let the pulling string be also
black. Then tack the skeleton by the
head to the blackboard The figure

SAYS WEALTH Is DISTRIBUTED.
Chief statistician- of Census Bureau

Chief Statistician. of Census Bureau
Writes on .'The Assets of the
United States"
The nations wealth is not in the
hands of few, according to L. G..
Powers, chief statistician Of the census
bureau at Washington.
Writing on 1.-THE Assets Of the United
States" in the September number Of
the American Journal of Sociology, is
sued recently from the University Of
Chicago press, Mr. Powers has the fol-
lowing to say of the concentration Of
wealth in America:
eff we start with the value of farms
and other homes which are known to
be owned ny men Of small possessions
the SAVINGS ark deposits and other
known possessions of those of moderate
means, and then add the lowest popular
estimates of the possessions Of our
miIlionaires, we have an aggregate far
in excess of the census appraisal of
national wealth, and the conclusion
under such circumstances is irresistible
either that the census estimates are
ridiculously small or the popular esti-
mates Of the wealth of our millionaires
are greatly exaggerated.
"The writer does not find any evil
dence that would justify either the
statement that our national wealth is
grossly uEderstated or chat our million
aires own so large a share Of that wealth
as to leave the great majority without
property"

having been cut out, it must be painted
black to match the board.
Now to perform. Produce the board.
Show only the side upon which there
is nothing. Request that the lights
may be lowered slightly and take up
your position little way from the au-
dience. With a piece Of white chalk
make one or two attempts to draw a
figure. Rub out your work as being
unsatisfactory and turn the slate
round. The black figure will not be
perceived on account of the board be-
ing the sane color. Rapidly touch the
edges of the cardboard figure with
chalk, filing up the ribs, etc.. at lei
sure, taking great care that nothing
moves while the drawing is progress
ing. Then manipulate your fingers in
front of the drawing and command it
to become animated, when by secretly

eton with your foot it will, Of course.

MY LADY'S TOILET.

Any Number of Players May Join In
This Game.
Here is game that will give boys
and girls no end Of fun. 1t requires
no materials except a wooden plate or
a circular tray. Indeed, any circular
around on the floor and is not easily
broken. Any number Of boys and girls
may play it. Each player takes the
name of some article belonging to s
lady'S toilet, as hairbrush. hat brush.
comb, hairpin, gloves. etc.
The players take seats around thu
sides of the room, and the one who
has been selected to start the. game
goes to the center and twirls the plate
on the floor as hard as he can. AS the
plate begins to spin he speaks some
sentence in which he uses the name of
one of the toilet articles, and the play
er who has that name must leave his
seat and try to catch the plate before
it stops twirling. If he fails he pays
forfeit and takes the twirler's place.
If he succeeds he takes the place with
out paying forfeit.
The plate spinner generally speaks a
sentence like this: My lady is going
out, and she wants her gloves" The
player whose name is gloves" then
runs to the plate and tries to catch il.
The spinner has a right at any time
to call out the single word ''Toiletv'
and when he does all the players have
to change seats. The one that does not
get a seattle spinner. of course. al
ways gets one-must then take the
plate and pay forfeit. Forfeits may
be redeemed at the end of the game.

Mr.. Peetz's qualifications.

New York Tribune: One of the strongest argu-

that the advent of women in the political arena

methods and legislative habits Long have unwill-

proofs of their suspicion have not been forthcom-

tidings which selfish, hard hearted man may well
come with diabolical glee-tidings perhaps sufficient
to demonstrate the awful reality of the Pretty Peril
that the "suffragettes" would bring down upon the
land.
The press has been informed that the editor of

ROOSeVeIf'S Remarks.

President Roosevelt addressed the Mothers Con-
gress at Washington on the 10th inst, saying:
I receive many many societies here in the White
House. many organizations of good men and women
striving to do all that in them lies for the better
ment of social and civic condition, but there is
other society which am quite as glad to receive
this. This is the one body that put even ahead
of the veterans of the Civil War; because when all
is Said it is the mother and the mother only who is
better citizen even than the soldier who fights for
his country. The successful mother the mother who
does her part rearing and training Alright the boys
and girls who to be the men and women of the
next generation, is of greater to the community
and occupies, if she only would realize it,
honorable, well a important position,
than any successful man in it.
Nothing in this life that is really worth having
comes at the cost of effort No life of self
indulgence, of vapid pleasure itself, poss
IDLY, in the point of pleasure ITSELF yield
ample reward as comes to the mother at the cost
of self-denial of effort, of suffering in childbirth
of the long, Slow patient, trying work of bringing
up the children Alright. No scheme of education no
social attitude be right unless based funda
mentally upon the recognition of seeing that the girl
trained to understand the supreme dignity the SUI
preme usefulness of motherhood. Unless the aver
age woman is good wife and mother, unless she
bears sufficient number of children so that the race
shall increase and not decrease unless she brings
up these children sound in soul and mind and body
unless this is true OF the average woman bril-
liancy of genius, material posperity no triumph
of science and industry will avail to save the race
from ruin and death. The mother is the one SUI
preme asset of national life; she is more important
by far than the successful statesman, business
man, artist scientist.

UfferS a Protest.

Amid the general comment approving the de-
cision of the Supreme Court unfolding the Oregon
law that an adult woman's working hours The
Portland (Oregon) Womans Tribune utters word
of protest and dissent The principle of sex legsla
ton is absolutely wrong and unjust, and super
structure of justice be built upon it, says The
Tribune If it is injury to other workers or
to society that woman should work more than
ten hours a day, the same holds good with regard
to man. All such protective laws should be inn
partial and without regard to class. All his
tory shows that so called protection is a two-edged
tool which is especially sharp on the side that
touches the class it is supposed to protect. AS for
there being special physical reasons why woman
should be limited in her hours of working that is
all nonsense. The average who is forced to
go out into factory life will do a womans work at
home beside and then outlive the she has
cooked and washed and sewed for And for the
woman who is alone and with only herself to keep
her family together it is shame that she should
be placed under legal limitations and disadvantages
in addition to those which the judges claim nature
imposes upon her The comparative health of men
and in factory life, stultfying and brutal
izing as it may be to both sexes and to one as
much the other, has been investigated.
There is no scientific reason for this discrimination
there is no economic reason for it save-disguise
it as they may-the selfish reason of wishing to
place women's labor at disadvantage because men
have the power to do it. Let us have the oppor-
tunities to labor and the rewards of labor, and
the protection of labor equal and uniform for both
sexes; and beyond that if there is ought to be
any special legislation for women, let say
what it should be- Nineteen of the States have
have laws similar to that of Oregon which has thus
been sustained, Massachusetts having adopted the
first one in 1874.

the beginning were somewhat opposed to Mr..
Peetz entering the campaign But he is in now, and
with him, heart and soul The nights will
never be too dark the mud too deep for us to
go on foot and out of our way if by so doing we
can gain him vote.
How perfectly are the three virtues of the ideal
campaign manager combined in the writer 10y
atty, generalship and persuasive rhetoric all
envisaged in these compelling sentences. And yet,
have campaign methods been improved? By no
The prophecies of the "suffragettes" had led
to believe that lady campaign managers would
win their battles by placing their candidates squarey
their merits A State Statistician would be
red into office because his "managress' had dem
onstrated his reliability compiler of facts and
figures How disappointing, then, to find Mrs Peetz
descanng upon her candidates freedom from little
vices And explaining, too, that she is fighting for
him because of past promises! If only there had
been a paragraph two showing Mr.. Peetz's
nmbleness in running card catalogue, adding up
long column of figures and computing the medium,
upper GENTLE and lower deci1e the "suffragettes'
might have been rescued from dependency. But if
the boom" is fairly reported it is just like Tam
many campaign the candidate is proved honest
and respectable, the intense devotion of his friends
is set forth and the campaigners gladly $50 out of
their way to gain votes. The resemblance between
Monon and Fourteenth street is so striking as to
compel wonder whether Indiana has been Murphy
lied Tammany ruled by secret gynecocracy.
Whichever is the case, enough has been shown to
prove that the hour has not yet come to sweep
away the last barrier between beauty and the booth
women to have free rein in running po-
ltical campaigns the hattering personalities they
would publish about masculine candidates would rem
