ex-senator Edgar 7. Bracket, of Saratoga, is
the president.
Senator Bracket declares that the league
IS now more necessary than before, insinuating
that the 'SHughes BOOM is in greater danger
than ever, and that ''its enemies have come on
board the ship only to scuttle it,
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black, of Albany, is
mentioned first as representing the Hughes in
terest in the delegation at large Black is
the man who nominated President Roosevelt
at the 1904 convention, and the advocates of
Hughes want him to perform a like service
for the governor Governor Black is generally
regarded as committed to the Hughes move
ment, though he has not said so publicly. He
and Senator Bracket had conference late
last night, presumably on this subject it was
followed Immediately by rumors that the
Hughes League would work for the selection
of Governor Black as one of the delegates at
large, with the special intent of having him
place the governor s name before the national
convention.
Tim Woodruff May Lose Out.
AS for the Republican state committee the
situation has not yet developed sufficiently to
justify a forecast. There has been much Cos
sip about a possible charge in the chairman
ship now occupied by ex-Lieutenant Governor
Timothy L. Woodruff, of Brooklyn. The name
most frequently mentioned in this connection
is that of State Committeeman William
Barnes, Jr., of Albany But it is not certain
that there will be any change
One Of the factors contributing to the talk
OF a new chairman was the impression, widely
prevalent, that the development of affairs was
rapidly accruing the political benefit of ex-
Governor B. B. Odell, Jr., and tending to re-
store the prestige which he lost in his over
whelming defeat in the assembly speakership
battle OF two years ago. The abandonment
during the past week of the conflict over the
Endorsement of Governor Hughes has dispelled
much OF the fear of destructive factional
warfare within the Republican party, and it is
matter largely of opinion whether the op-
ponents of Mr.. Odell have forestalled at least
for the present, his return to important poll
teal influence. 1t was at the spring state
convention your years ago that Mr.. Dwell
displaced Colonel George w. Dunn, of Bing-
hampton, as chairman of the state convention.
Whether this spring s convention will see the
similar displacement of Mr.. Woodruff by Mr..
Barnes, or even by an "Odel man, remains
to be seen.-Atlanta Constitution

A model wife is the woman who
looks after his household, and makes
her hospitality a delight to him,
and not burden; who has learn
ed that soft answer will turn away
wrath; who keeps her sweetest
smiles and most loving words for
her husband; who is his confidante
in sorrow or in joy, and who does
not feel the necessity of explaining
her private affairs to the neighbor-
hood; who respects the rights of
husband and children, and in return
has due regard paid to her; who
knows that the strongest argument
is her womanliness, and so she cul-
tivates it; who is sympathetic in joy
or in grief, and who finds work for
hands to do; who is not made bitter
by trouble, but who strengthens
and sweetens under it; who tries
to cancel the faults of her husband,
rather than blazon them forth to
an uninterested public; the woman
whose life-book has love written on
every page; who makes home for
man, home in a house and in
heart, home that he is sure of,
home that is full of love presided
over by one whose price is above
rubies. Shes the model wife.
A successful man: "A man who
has made happy home for his wife
and children. No matter what he
has not done in the way of achiev-
ing wealth and honor; if he has
done that he is a grand success.
If he has not done that, and it
is his own fault, though he be the
highest in the land, he is a most
pitable failure. l wonder how
many men in a mad pursuit of
gold, which characterizes the age,
realize that there is no fortune
which can be left to their families
as great as the memory of a happy
home.

Red Tape of the District Government

Stott's great act of kindness the cats
owner showed a crisp dollar bill In the

Aside from being brave and cour-
ageous policeman, Stott is a stickler
for duty, and after receiving the dollar
he hurried to the commander of his
precinct, Capt. Boyle, and told him OF
his good fortune
This was the starting point of the
big ball of red tape that was to wind
around that crisp dollar bill before
Private Stott could really call 1t his

ceived a letter from Capt Boyle re-
lating the facts in the case. Capt
Boyle in turn forwarded the document

After carefully reading the commu-

times that the exceptions are forgot

probability of a death was whispered
about. Twentythree days elapsed be-
tween the day of Wetmore's resump-
ton of his seat and the day Senator
Latimer of South Carolina died.
Senator Wetmore, by reason of be-
ing out of the senate for some months
had the luck to lose seat %. That seat
was drawn by Senator Kittredge of
South Dakota, who would now be &C.

How the Plants Were Cared For.

Among the general rules adopted
were the following: No plant was to
De kept in dry, dusty atmosphere or
ever stood ON the floors where there
was danger of drafts. The tempera-
ture for the day was to stand about 90
and at night never be allowed to fall
below 40 degrees. To moisten the at
mosphere vessel filled with water
was placed near enough to the fire for
the hot air to eFaporate some of it.
Fresh air slightly warmed was admit
ted to the plants when they had been
taken away from the window and coy
cred. Their room was aired every day.
Each plant was to receive daily
washing with sponge dipped in warm
water to which a tiny dash Of spirits
Of ammonia had been added. They
were to be watered daily with warm,
not cold, water. Sometimes the plants
were drenched with SCOT water, which
served to enrich the soil. Liquid fer
tilizers were also put on. If plant
showed tendency to bloom before it
was needed, it was kept in the dark In
a cooler atmosphere, but one above
the freezing point, and taken out in
time to allow 1t to bloom. The Easter
flower display that year was unequaled
In beauty and variety, and the Potted

and, lacking that, lack principle,
lack backbone, lack grit. Not
having a purpose in life, we have
no power to take strong hold of
some work and do it. No man
is ever likely to accomplish any
more than he resolutely sets himself
to accomplish. The tendency is to
drift. to float with the current, to
let the stream of life sweep us
whittier it will. That is the easier
way doubtless, and the banks are
very beautiful and pleasant as we
glide between them; but our true
journey lies the other way, the real
treasure mines of life are in the
hills near the sources of the river
and we must row. row hard against
the current if we would reach them.

The Importance of neat and taste
full home dressing cannot be over
estimated. The matron who appears
before the members Of the family
in a shabby, soiled wrapper and
makes the excuse, if indeed she
takes the trouble to make one at all,
that it is $50 much more comfort
able" has little idea of the possible
consequences of such a course.
Could she but realize that her dress
is an evil example to her daughters,
and productive of consequences that
will reach far beyond her own span
of life; that her husband and son
cannot fail to draw comparisons
between her dress and that of the
ladies they meet in other homes,
and that these comparisons cannot
fail to decrease their respect for
her, she might be induced to give
more attention to her personal ap-
pearance.
Not even the burden of care and
constant employment can furnish a
sufficient excuse for careless person
habits, for few things are more
important to the well-being OF
a family. There is an old saying
to the effect that an untidy mother
has disobedient children, and,
while neither parents or children
may realize the why or wherefof OF
it, yet there is always lack OF
respect and an indifference to the
authority of a mother who takes no
pride in her personal appearance.
And it is not the mother alone
upon whose shoulders rests the
burden of responsibility for home
neatness and order in dress; the ia
Their has his duties to look after
as we'll, and should never fail to
insist upon the younger members
presenting themselves with well
kept hands, clean faces and orderly
dress, at least at every meal where
the family assemblies.
