The eighth district union of Mis-
souri, of which Mrs. Nellie G. Bur-

has gained 500 new members this
year and all four counties in the
district have gone dry"
No wonder Mrs. Burgess is happy.
Ninety-nine new unions have
been organized in Missouri this
year up to date. We fully expect
to make it one hundred and fifty
before state convention.
The state senior L. T. L. cOnven-

great success. A goodly number of
young men were in attendance, and
hundred dollars was raised for
state work.

The Japanese and Their FanA
To the japanese the fan is not mere

Of art. 1t tells a story. and there Ii
even a suggestiveness in the manner
of using or wearing 1t. The whole his
tory Of Japan could be read from fans
IL enough of them were put together,
end every political event Of Importance
is pictured on these airy trifies. There
are different fans for every conceiva.
BILE occasion. Even dolls have their
own fans. and children have theirs.
The geisha girls have a particular kind
Of fan. and Jugglers. too, use n with
appropriate decorations. There is a
fan used only at the solemn tea feast,
and a war fan of iron. covered with
lacquer. Generals have silk fans, with
Iron sticks, and there Is a dangerous
dagger fan. The bamboo water fan Ia
dipped in water frequently while be-

ancient court fans Of Japan were fold

artificial flowers, and each noble fam
lily had its OWL flower. that no one else

Hoist With His Own petard.

A woman recently applied to a sew
ing machine company for a machine to
be used ON trial. The agent set her
down as one who had no intention OF
really buying, so he sent her a second
hand machine, made by another com
pany. that they had somehow managed
to secure in trade.
THAT said he, will be good enough
for her to do her sewing on, and that
is all she wants 1t for"
At the end of two weeks the woman
called at the Office.
THAT machine" she said, sis a treas
ure. 1t runs easily, and the tucking'
shirring and hemstitching are perfectly
beautiful. All the women In our build
ing say they never saw anything so
nice. They are going to sell their old
machines and buy new ones like It,
am going to get a new one too. There
are eleven of us who want to buy
Since that is quite a large order. we
thought you might be able to get the
machines for US at a discount"
The agent nearly collapsed. He tried
TO induce the woman to look with ia
vor upon the machines made by hi:
own firm, but her affections were fas
tened upon the sample that he had 81
~fatuously provided. So In order to Sc
cure any commission for himself h'
had to fill an order of eleven machines

trying to weather the current n ali

his wife. "She does not even dream

Its Effort Wasted.

1t doesn't pay, my boy, to treat a
woman of this day and generation as a
child. She knows too much to fill that
role with satisfaction to herself or to
you. The position Of a pampered pet Is
distasteful to her. She averages men
tally about as high as the betrousered
half of creation, and she doesn't want
to be ranked with the bric-a-brac on
the parlor mantel. She is just as use
full as she is ornamental, and she's moi
going to let you or any other man put
her ON the shelf, and, by ginger, she's
right It's a mighty good thing, too,
