OPPONENT EASY TO BEAT.
Slight Accident Put Edmonla's Rival
Out of the Running.

Mrs. S. was IN a Richmond hos
pital, and she was lonely, so welcomed
the advent of very black and very
languid maid, who came in one morn
ing to wipe up the floor. Some one
new to talk to, so no time was lost.
"T have not seen you working here
before. Aren't you a new girl?"
Edmonia willingly let the cloth slip
back into the bucket, and sat fiat upon
the floor before answering.
"Yas'm, Is new. Is jest washin'
up de floor; but 1 don't work, rs ed
jikated."
"And where were you educated?"
was the next question.
"In seminary" Then, with a burst
of confidence There was me an an.
other girl workin' in house. She was
cook and l was chambermaid, and
we had great times about who would
git de prize but beat" Then, after
a pause, "She was easy to beat, cause
she got smothered to death with gas
de night before de Examinations come
off."-Harper's Magazine.

MOVING BRUSH.
Clean the Pastures and Seed Them to
Tame Grass.

There is much time and strength
wasted where brush is moved in the
early part of the growing season
because the roots will at once sprout
and produce another crop. This is
not true where the brushing is done
during the fall months.
There are many pastures so occu-
pied with brush that the grass can
not gain place in the soil. Get
after these idle fields with a brush
scythe and clear them as soon as
possible. Burn the waste material
and seed the land to tame grass
which will make the idle acres as
profitable as the clearings, declares
the Northwestern Agriculturist. Where
land is selling for $50 to S1OO
per acre 1t should be productive of
grain or grass. Don't allow weeds or
brush to occupy the same.

FOR JOLLY PARTY
SUGGESTIONS BY
MADAME MERRl.
October Festival Can Be Made One of
the Merriest of the Year-Spe-
cialIy Designed Postcards
for Invitations.

For some days requests have been
coming into the department for Hal
lowe'en suggestions, so during the
month Nine. Merri is going to give all
the ideas she can possibly find to as
sist hostesses of all ages who delight
in entertaining on this merry festival
day. A visit to the stores will con.
vince one that there is commercial
side to this recognition of special"
days in the years calendar. For COM
paratively small sums the hostess can
buy "Jack-o'-lanterns," pumpkins of
all sizes, vegetables, brownies"
witches" etc. But, after all, they do
not appeal to children half as much as
if they had the fun of making them
at home, for the greatest joy in life to
child is to be allowed to assist in the
preparation for a party.
Many letters which come in are
from very young people asking how to
celebrate Halloween, and sometimes
there is a pathetic clause like this:
Mother is too busy to help, so we
come to you" 1t delights Nine. Merri
to be permitted to help, to be of SER
vice is what the department is for, and
especially to the ones who have busy"
mothers. We must all try to remem-
Der that little nonsense now and
then is relished by the best of men.
1t does even busy mothers good to
have the monotony of this everyday
world broken by such jolly times as
October 81 brings.
Now for the merry carnival of hob
COLLINS, brownies, fairies, witches,
owls, cats and bats who are waiting
for their annual reunion.
A Halloween masquerade makes a
very pretty party. Send the invita-
tions on Halloween post cards; they
are specially designed for this oc-
casion and just the thing for an affair
of this kind. Then ask the guests
to come in the character desig-
mated, viz: A witch, fairy, gnome,
ghost, pumpkin, etc. A Japanese cap
and mask may be sent to each one as

BLACK ROSE IN SILK eAUzE.
Addition to Costume That Is Very
Popular in Paris.

The touch of black to a brilliant cos
tune is now given by superb black
rose made of fine silk gauze, with col
ored stones in the center.
Paris has gone quite wild over this
addition to the bodice.
Those who are returning from Eu-
rope are bringing these roses as gifts
to well-dressed women who always
want the latest thing.
They are wonderfully made, with
small black stems, and the color in
the center may be part of the color
scheme of the costume.
The safest center to choose is of
gold and silver beads. Topaz, tur-
quoise, rhinestones and corals are
also used.
This rose Is pinned in the center Of
the bodice amid a cluster of lace. 1t
is only effective on light gowns and
looks its best on satin and velvet
ball gowns.

REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES

The Republican convention tried to
smooth over differences in the party by
glittering generalities in its platform
and nominating a reactionary as rum
ming mate for the candidate selected BY
the President. But the harmony so
secured was entirely superficial, and
the discomfited "aIlies' and reactiona-
ries are not trying very hard to keep up
appearances.
They had celebration in Washing
ton on the Fourth, and Speaker Can
was an impromptu orator. He relieved
his mind bit and gave interesting ev-
ipence of what is going on among the
anti-Roosevelt Republicans, small
detection of whom from Taft would
give the Presidency to the Democratic
candidate. Having reminded his au-
dience that the stoppage of the railroads
for week would precipitate starvation
and bankruptcy, he gave evidence that
he had not joined the Roosevelt and
Taft column by saying:
II have no sympathy with that class
Of men, generally found in yellow Jour.
nails and undertaking magazines. We
OF Congress correct the abuses of cor
porations when correction is necessary.
have seen hysteria before the civil
war and after it. But the hysteria of
the past six years could give cards and
spades to the hyiteria of that time"
Mr.. Cannon did not need to explain
that il the persons he denounced were
generally found in yellow Journals and
undertaking magazines they are some
times found in White Houses, and that
the hSsteria of the past six years coin
csdes with the Roosevelt administra-
ton. But lest he should be thought
too vague in his illusions to the Presi-
dent he said
This country has been blessed with
a long line of distinguished Presidents,
but no power on earth can keep man
in the Presidential chair one hour after
his term has expired. He then becomes
distinguished 'ex' and weighs $50,
200 or 800 pounds. But with all he is
mere man.
Mr.. Roosevelt's weight is about 200,
or rising of that. Mr.. Taft's is close to
300. Mr.. Cannon is evidently looking
forward longingly to the date when
Mr.. Roosevelt will again become "a
mere man" Will he do any unneces-
sary amount of work in trying to re-
place him with his heavier heir?

ough that he violated an agreement
entered into with them to make Mr..

heapiug honors upon him have en-

charges have not affected his standing.
A handsome loving cup was presented
to him, and eulogistic speeches made
at the time of his arrival in Baltimore.
Mudd, Parran and Goldsborough,
however, still insist that these things
from Federal office holders and men
under obligations to Stone constitute
no answer to direct charge that he
broke his v ord of honor, and their
friends say that no one will make an

REASONABLE PROFIT.

What is "a reasonable profit" for the
Industrial Trusts to charge over aud
above the difference between the cost
OF production at home and abroad?
The Republican managers who are
hand and glove with the protected
trusts and combines evidently know,
but are afraid to inform the voters, for
the Republican platform declares that:
''ln all tariff legislation the true prin-
ciple of protection il best maintained
by the imposition of such duties as will
equal the difference between the cter of
production at home and abroad. to-
gether with a reasonable peofit to
American industries"
As the present tariff undoubtedly up
holds 1.-THE true principle Of protection, y
for ii more than equals the difference
between the cost of production at home
and abroad" and has allowed cur trusts
and protected interests to charge much
higher prices here than similar goods
are produced and sold for i'm foreign
countries. one wouli think even the
friends of protectionism would he sat
istied. But 1t appears from what the
Republican platform declares that on
top of this enormous difference ia
prices here aud abroad there is to be a
further increase in tariff rates, if the
/ Republicans are successful, by increas
ing the present tariff duties, so that on
top of the profits already enjoyed, there
shall he added enough more to ensure
a reasonable profit 1t is the evi.
dent intention of our Republican tariff
/ thinkers to allow the trusts and pro.
tected interests to say how much the
increase shall be, and as we all know
they are not bashful in their ideas OF
what is reasonable.
Under this Republican plan of tariff
revision Immediately after election
and no doubt it cannot be too immedi
ate for the trusts and protected inter
ests, the present plight of the Ameri.
can people will be comfort, pleasure
aud afiluence compared to what the
future will bring, if the voters allow
the Republican revisionists and theii
trust friends full sway.

AN ERA OF ExTRAvAGANcE.

This deficit of $50, 600, 900 for the

penalty paid for wilful extravaganza.
1t is only $4,000, 600 less than the total
shrinkags in the government receipts
