How To Make A Merry Widow Hat

Take one cart wheel. Fasten over
the hub one wire waste basket. Stitch
on covers of white fishing net over
green mosquito bar. Around the
crown bank few sunAowers and dai.
sizes, brown ropes, cerise and crimson
chrysanthemums, a bunch of grass,
epray of lavender ilacs, stalk of hol-
lyhocks, some petunias, verbenss, and
candy tuft interspersed with blue and
brown forget.me.nots. Next take If
to-three yards Of lavender ribbon
edged with cerise, and construct q
number of loops for either side Of the
front extending from the center of the
front to the crown to either outer edge
of the brim, using as braces or stifen-
ing long strips of bamboo. In the
center of this dainty bow place the
garden gste-ths latest fad in the mer-
ry widow hat buckle. A golf stick, a
garden rake and flag pole will give
jaunty effect as hat pins. These are
only few hints in regard to the ma
terlal for the home manufacture Of the
Merry Widow hat. Any change may
be made or fixtures added to suit the
taste, for anything is in style if the
size ia maintained.

Sharp Practice.

came back on the same boat with
Charles W. Morse, said a well-known
man, and in talk about finance over
a bridge game one afternoon, Mr..
Morse told us story of sharp Prac.
tice.
He said there was a coach that
used to run between Nola Chucky
and Paint Rock, q matter Of some
forty miles. For lunch the coach
stopped at a halfway house in Tin
Can, and here a good 50-ceHt neal
was put out-cake and pie, coffee and
tea, and all the cold meats you could
mention.
But the landlord Of the halfway
house had a mean little secret dicker
with the driver whereby, as soon as
the travellers had paid for their lunch
and got fairly settled to it, call
would come for an immediate start.
So off they'd all go gruubling.-
They'd have paid for so cents worth
of food and only eaten, you see, about
5 cents worth.
But along came one day traveller
with a sharp, bright eye The land.
lord found this chap, some 10 min.
utes after the coach had started on
again, still tuoking pie and ham at
terrible rate.
"WhY, man" he said, you've let
the coach go without you.
II know it," said the traveller,
calmly, II was too blessed hungry TO
stop eating"
Suddenly the landlords face psled.
"Good gracious !" he said, "all my
silver's gone %
1t was, too. Not a knife, fork or
spoon was left except the sharp-eyed
mans.
he said, as he kept on eating, that
he had noticed a suspicious-looking
character among the passengers-s
man With a red beard, hump and a
limp-oh very suspicious.
The landlord sent a hostler on a
swift motorcycle off TO oVertake the
coach and bring it back.
Well, in about forty minutes the
coach returned. Then the shsrp.eyed
man came forth, wiping MS mouth.
But be made no effort 70 identify the
suspicious.looking passenger. Instead
he got aboard the coach, took MS seat,
and said coolly:
Thanks, landlord, for the good
feed. You'll find them spoons and
things in the coffee pot. Now, driv.
er, of we 90 sg'in."

What the Birds Do For Us.

That no factor in the problem Of
conserving the land, water and forest
resources Of this nation equals that
which nature has provided in the feath.
cred wild life of the continent is the
opinion expressed by leading ornithol-
ogists today. Following the confer
ence of Governors in Washington, off,
GERS of the National Association of
Audubon Societies have decided to Of
fer the cooperation Of their organiza-
ton in this great work, in pushing
which the association has been the pi-
oneer and only active organization
ever since its incorporation. Although
the workers for bird preservation were
not represented at the gubernatorisl
conclsve at the White House, govern.
ment authorities have assured them
that the protection Of the-insect eaters
that insure life to crops, woods and
waterways should be one Of the first
practical means to the general end.
Crops flourish and forests stand to
conserve land and water largely
through the activities of the existing
bird guard that ceaselessly fights their
natural destroyers, the Investigators of
the government point out. With a
known loss of over $500, 100000 to
the crops of the country last yea due
to killing of their guardian foCks, the
corresponding effect on woods and wa
ters may be reckoned in the billions Of
dollars, the Audubon workers declare.
Uniform laws for bird protection, if
adopted by the States, would go far to
ward of these growing inroads Of in
seet7 and other pests, they say, and |
this mignC we'll be the first step to be
taken following IT, deliberations Of
the house of Governors.
While the value of the bira5 to the
farmer, orohsrdist and planter has for !
years been recognized, it is believed by
the authorities that their Importance
in preserving the forests ls not gener-
ally known. According to recent
report of the government, insects alone
cause an annual loss to the trees Of the
country estimated at over hundred
million dollars. On the oak alone

TO GIVE IS TO LIVE.

Forever the sun is pouring in gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow
His warmth he squan dsrs on submits cold
His wealth on the homes Of want and sorrow
To withhold his largess Of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night;
To give is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all;
Its joy is the joy it freely difuses.
OF beauty and balm it is prodigal,
And II lives In the light Ii freely loses.
No choice for the rose but glory or doom.
To eyAl!e or to smother, to withsr or bloom
To deny is to die.
The seas lend iilvery rays to the land
The land its sapphire streams to the ocean +;
The heart sends blood to the brain OF command
The brain to the heart its lightning emotion
And over and over we yield our lite'
But still are conquerers in the strife;
To live is to give.
He Is dead whose hand Is not open vide
To help the need Of human brother;
He doubles the length Of his lifelong ride
Who gives part OF his means to another.
And a thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in hi, sympathies;
To deny IS TO die.

 gress he had used the expression that workmen were lot of beggars,
 "I speak as representative of or- ganized labor, "-the man added,
 No. you do not" shouted Mir. Bryan. My record is well enough known so that no representative of or sanized labor would have to ask me such question:
 Did .or did you not use that express sion?" insisted the man.
 Bryan answered: "f shall not under take now or any other time to answer any and every statement that may be made by those who are trying to help the republican party until they get an indorsement from the republican party or it's representatives"
 At the hall meeting Mir. Bryan took has his subject Republican Tenden- cies." He said in part.
 Parties are to be measured not mere ly by the things actually done, but by their tendencies. Since 1t is easier to remedy evils in the beginning than af- ter they are full grown, 1t Is import ant to know the tendencies of parties as well as to know how far they have gone l desire tonight to call attention to some of the tendencies of the re- publican party.
 Take for instance the matter oC ex travagance in expenditures. The ten doncy of the republican party is to in- crease the expenditures of the govern ment out of all proportion to the in> crease in the population. At the first session of the present congress their appropriations exceeded billion dol- lars This Is twice the appropriations of a session of the 5lst congress, which was the highest appropriation known up to that time
 The present campaign. presents an 1, other tendency of the republican par ty, namely, to substitute presidential successor for the democratic plan of ] popular selection.
 If Mir Roosevelt can pick out the re- publican candidate this year and then i use the prestige of his office and the influence of the army of office-holders to elect him, may not MT. Taft pick out successor and elect him and So on from administration 10 admins | tratAbn. The third dangerous tendency of the republican party is towards cen ! trallzation.
 Fourth in it's advocacy of i'm porlalism the republican party ten1s to ignore all constitutional restraints for 1t administers a government in the Philippine Islands without constitu- tional limitations.
 The fifth republican tendency to which l call your attention is the ten. dcncy toward socialism. The demo- cratic party has been called a social istlc party. and have been denounced as a socialist. contend that the re- publican party. not the democratic party. is aiding the socialistic party ld this Is evident from the fact thai the socialist leaders prefer republican success to democratic success They fear ihe democratic reforms will re. lard sc.ia isr1 and they believe .tai republican al uses can be used ;c arouse opposition to the entire com. petltive systsil The democratic party would argue with the socilst, While tho republican party denounces him but the democratic party woul re- move the spirit of unrest and discon. ttnt by eliminating the abuses that are tho foundation of unrest and disson. tent
