God to Be Restored to Nations Coins

The responsibility for the omission was placed at the door of President Roosevelt, for only through an execu- tive order can a change be made in designs for coins. This responsibility the president readily assumed, but, when adverse criticism began to come from all quarters of the country and religious and patriotic societies took up the matter, he decided to issue a statement setting forth his reasons for the action.
 In this statement the president said there was no warrant of law for the inscription. Also he said that his own feeling in the matter was due to his very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good, but does positive harm and is in effect irreverence which comes dan gerously close to sacrilege."
 The president was firm that he would not order the motto to he re- placed unless directed to do so by congress.
 The presidents statement failed to stem the tide of adverse criticism. and | when congress convened numerous bills and resolutions were introduced and proposed to make it unlawful to issue coins without the inscription.

TT HE motto Tn God We Trust will \ be restored to the gold coins from which it was removed by President Roosevelts orders. The house com mittee on coinage, weights and meas ures has reported a bill providing for restoration of the motto and it's per manent retention. Indications are that 1t will pass both houses. President Roosevelt will not veto any measure of this kind, and has so told several of his callers.
 Representative James, who intro duced one of the bills to restore the motto, said hundreds of letters were still coming in protesting against the abolishment of the motto.
 Immediately after the new gold pieces of the Saint Gaudens design were received from the Philadelphia mint early in November last year, the discovery was made that the motto "In God We Trust" had been omitted.

Gossip of People and Events Gathered in Washington
Senator Delivers Gift to Chinaman

favor possible to bestow that gift be taken to him.
 An Nav Is probably the best known Chinaman in Washington He is per mitted to reside in this country by spe- cial act of congress. He entered the service of Admiral Dewey when, as commodore, Dewey commanded the American fleet in the Orient An Nav was on board when the United States squadron captured Manila. As mark of respect to Admiral Dewey congress passed a law excepting An Nav from the exclusion laws.
 Senator Stone first undertook last New Years day, to fulfill his mission of presenting the remembrance from the brother in Manila. Upon that day the MisSourian thought to pay a call of respect upon the admiral and trans. init the packet, also. Upon reaching the Dewey residence he found all in i in the parlor had caught fire, threat ening the destruction of the house and menacing the safety of women guests who were present. Ah Nav rushed into the parlor, tore down the cur tains, eXtinguished the fire, saved the house and possibly saved lives. But he was badly, dangerously burned. He was taken to the hospital, and the commission intrusted to Senator Stone could not be carried out until a few days ago

WASHINGTON. - Senator w. J. w Stone the other day journeyed out to the Providence hospital, near here, where, after long search he To- cated the cot of Chinaman to whom the senator presented a packet Mrs Stone had brought from Manila. The Chinaman is L. An Nav, valet to Ad- miral Dewey, and the packet was a remembrance to Mrs Nav from a brother. The gift was intrusted to Mrs. Stone at Manila, who promised that it should reach the proper hands in Washington.
 Senator and Mrs Stone were in Ma nila last fall. During their stay the Chinaman served as their particular attendant and was so jealous in his eff forts to please that the Missouri sen ator and his wife came to like him very much. When the American party started upon their return to the United States their Chinaman confided the fact that he had brother in Wash ington, and wished, as the greatest

BIG HATS IMPROVE HEALTH.
Cause Women to Stand Straiehter anc
 Walk Better.

The athletic young man lodged the millinery creation, which kept bobbing around beside him, but he said not a word in protest. Il am awfully sor- ry," murmured the girl at his side but you see the hats are made so this year and we have to wear 'em.'
 The man, who was a physical cul- ture teacher, shook his head. I'm not sorry," he said. "The millinery this years is doing much to make women stand up straighter and walk better. Yes, I really mean it. You see, with the narrow front brim and the wider back brim, most of the trimming runs off the back"
 The woman gasped at his knowl- edge of hats and giggled at his way of describing them.
 50 you see," he went on, this tends to throw the weight of the hat backward. Now in order to balance the weight in that position a woman

some women claim to admire is the masculine shape, and man might | quite as well and with as much pro- priety sigh for the broad hips and full curves of the womanly figure. The whole attempt of fashion to achieve long straight lines and the hipless fig ure is curious perversion, offensive to the normal human being, whether man or woman, but especially ob- noXious to men.
 The new thing in coats for hack about, shopping and morning wear for spring will be the short or hip length coats. These will vary from p to 27 inches in length, depending largely on the height of the wearer or the length of the waist
 For the wear of most women, how ever, the costumes offered in even the smart shops will have these jackets semi-fitting ahd of the longer rather than the shorter lengths. The semi-ftting coat is much the best for every one for morning and general travelling wear. Many a woman wears different corsets, differ ent in length and build, and she may wear whichever is most comfortable and look as well in the semi-ftting coat.

Congressman Has Plan to Help Farmers

the lands for this purpose shall be provided by the farmers themselves and that they shall do the work of cul- tivation under the direction of the experts of the department of agri- culture. No additional appropriation from congress will be required to test MT. Scott's plan, it is explained, as the agricultural department has the requi- site number of experts to carry it out.
 MT. Scott asserts that enough money is being wasted by the department in sending out farm bulletins and other government documents to carry out his idea. He says that much valuable in. formation has been given by the ex- perts in these publications, but their contents are so little understood by the farmers that they do not derive the knowledge from them which they should obtain as to the best methods of growing corn, wheat, hay and other crops.

for the climb before them, five long, steep flights of steps.
 At the top Clarice paused with up lifted hand.
 'Hark. His voice!" she whispered ecstatically, but in another moment wilderment.
 His voice was raised in snarling accents, plainly indicative of ill-tem- per.
 1.-Two loaves of bread." he shrieked, and then repeated this statement in a still louder tone: What could any reasonable woman do with two big loaves on one little day?"
 One was a stale loaf, father, and ] got it to stuff your goose You re- member you had to have goose"
 At the word father Clarice seized Leah's wrist with dramatic gesture.
 '.Of course 1 had to have goose How could play and enchant all the sillies if I have not just such viands as my delicate appetite craves? But because 1 am dainty in my tastes, difficult at table, is no reason why you should sQuander my few, poor, head-earned dollars on bread and salt and such things as I care not for he screamed, and the girls could hear him stamping up and down the room within. By this time Leah's astonishment had given way to mirth.
 You have hardly chosen an oppor- tune moment to drop in upon your hero for a cup of tea," she whispered to Clarice. He is not in mood for dispensing hospitality"
 'Ssh!" returned Mrs. Lethbridge, creeping nearer to the partially open door, Leah followed. The next instant Clarice turned and fled precipitately down the long, steep stairs and out upon the dingy street, as though possessed by some. thing terrifying.
 Did you see his daughter?" she gasped, when Leah, with less haste, rejoined her.
 Miss Athelstane could not speak for laughing.
 "She was 40 if she was day." cried the indignant Clarice.
 "He must be several years older than your stupid old John,' said her friend.
 How dare you speak of John like that. He is dear, and Generous darling, and I am going home now to fall in love with him all over again. will tell you what it is, Leah, there is nothing like becoming familiar witI other men to make woman appreci- ate her own husband, so l shall keep right on flirting as hard as l c1n D

The tailormade gown and the light weight storm coat which will keep off the chill of the spring winds and pro- tect from the sudden storm are two requisites of the wardrobe which must be considered. In our illustration above we show a charming coat and skirt costume. The natty little bolero has double revers and cuffs, the lower one in each respect being of white cloth, which gives a very smart touch to the costume. The material is one of the newest tweeds, which can be had in many shades including several art colors. The skirt is tight fitting around the hips, but has a deep in- verted plait at the back and is trimmed round the hem with upright strapped bands with mitred points, which are graduated in size from front to back. The hat shown with this very neat costume is a small round shape of white felt simply trimmed with punches of violets.
 The full-length coat shown at the right is semi-fitting, and the sleeves and body are lined with silk or other [ lining material, according to the amount one feels disposed to pay for such a garment. The back is well cut and the whole garment though roomy enough to go over a jacket is far more shapely than the usual sacque coat. In the illustration the collar is shown turned up and the revers tucked in to show how cozy it can be made when out in the weather The hat which so modestly harmonizes with this long coat is made of soft felt with a rolled brim edged with velvet. A band of the same velvet surrounds the crown and forms a huge rosette from which starts a small ostrich tip.
 And now to make big jump from the practicals to the finery of the we'd ding trousseau let us give a brief de- scription of the wedding dress dis played in our smaller illustration. It is an empire gown of white satin, the long trained skirt being quite plain and the draped bodice arranged with fichu of Brussels lace, and two long stoles of lace back and front The veil is of Brussels lace and is fastened with a wreath of orange blossoms.
 And now having conscientiously and faithfully disposed of our pictures let us turn to other matters of dress which will interest particularly at this season of the year. In "dressy' cos tunes for spring the lightweight broadcloths are to be the smartest. The supple chiffon broadcloths so ad- mirably adapted to all sorts of drap- ings, as well as in plain tight cos tunes, became fashionable at once, and their vogue, now long continued, promises to see no end.
 In broadcloths the plain rather than the stripes and checks now seen will be a choice of the fashionable fair one.
 The printed mousselines will be much seen in reception and dressy aft ernoon and also in dinner gowns. The lovely borders that came ill last spring will be more worn, as the prices will not be quite so high. Of course they are no longer the novelties they were, but they are beautiful, and will be much worn by the women of fashion.

ID EST-DISTURBING feline music of IN the midnight back fence variety will be unknown in Washington, says District Commissioner Mcfarland, when congress enacts into law a bill he has had prepared.
 MT. Mcfarland is president of the board of commissioners of the dis trict and is preparing to submit to his two colleagues his bill for their approval. It exercises the taxing power to exterminate the cats of the national capital. The midnight Thomas cats are to be taxed S5 per year and the anti-race-suicide tabby cats are to be taxed $10. Cats to escape the

clutches of the pondmaster must wear tags, and it is distinctly provided in the bill that the payment of tax does not permit any eat to go upon private property other than that oc- cupied by it's owner. If the author and friends of the bill have devised a means of collecting non-taxpaying cats it is kept secret. It is rumored that a fence-scaling brigade, armed with lad. ders and butterfly nets, will be turned loose to gather in the taxdodgers.
 The crusade against cats is being led by MT. Mcfarland because of the disturbed state of mind caused him while en route home at nights by thoughtless, indiscriminating cats.
 It is not thought that serious protest will be entered against the proposed law on constitutional grounds that it is class legislation and is aimed at the poor cats of the backyard variety, while the cats of the well-to-do fami- lies will be safe from prosecution, be. cause of the protection of a home.

WOULDN'T STAND IT LONGER.
He Did Not Like the Idea of Being
 Called "Mollycoddle."

He had married rich and beau- tiful widow, thus making it unneces- sary for him to ever work again. At first he appeared to be very happy, but before long his friends began to notice a look of sadness on his countenance. He seemed to be gradually sinking into a state of melancholia, and one morning the community was startled by the announcement that he had ap- piled for a divorce. Then it was that one of his friends went to him for the purpose of learning the nature of his trouble.
 Surely" the friend said, you must be mistaken in your suspicious. Your wife is one of the most estimable women I ever knew. It is impossible for me to believe that she can have given you any reasonable cause for a separation. Come, old man, make a clean breast of it. Perhaps you have become morbid and fallen into the hab- it of imagining that things are worse than they are.'
The Green Forest tribune., 1908-03-06

"No. I appreciate your kindness; but my imagination is not in any way to blame. 1 prefer not to say any thing about it.'
 Well, if your wife has been guilty of any wrongdoing I'll confess that I have no ability as a judge of human nature I have always considered her one of the most"
 Who said anything about my wife being guilty of wrongdoing? She's the sweetest little woman in the world
 Then why do you want a divorce?"
 Well, suppose it'll have to conse out, anyhow, so I'll tell you. Her big brute of son, who is a college ath- lete, calls me a mollycoddle, and, by George, that's thing I can't stand even for the sake of being able to get along without caring whether I have a job or not"

In the cut of costume lies it's chief charm, provided the fabric is suited to the person and the place.
 The plaited skirt is always worn. It suits the ordinary figure, whether too thin or too plump, better than the plain skirts, but the latter of circular cut are infinitely smarter, more grace full, are light in weight, and easier to manage in walking. The tight cir cular skirt without a plait to relieve it about the hips is suited to the truly feminine figure only.

Lonuevity of Medical Men

Some interesting statistics have been got together by a foreign con- temporary on the duration of a medi- cal mans life during the last centu- ries. It appears that in the sixteenth the practitioner lasted only 36 years and five months. In the seventeenth century this was increased to 45 years and eight months. The eigh- teenth heightened this four years, and in the nineteenth century we find that the medical man reached 56 years and seven months.
