Always Keep Faith.

Many a woman who would not think
of lightly breaking promise made to
a grown-up person'is utterly careless
about keeping her word with her chill
dren. She promises whatever is con-
venient at the moment, and apparently
thinks that the breaking OF keeping
of those promises is matter in which
she can please herself, and that her
children have no right TO consider
themselves aggrieved if she does not
do So A mother who acts thus does
her child grievous harm. says the Pic
tolial Review. She forgets that the
sense of justice is strong in quite lit
tie child, and that it is natural and
reasonable that he should expect his
parents TO be as good as their word
and to fulfill their promises even at
the cost of convenience. Promises
should not be lightly broken, and the
parent who is guilty of this soon loses
his childrens confidence, which is one
of the sweetest things which our little
ones can give us.

Conversation Hints.

Do not interrupt another while
speaking.
Do not find fault, though you may
gently criticise.
Do not appear to notice inaccuracies
OF speech in others.
Do not talk of your private, personal
and family matters.
Do not always commence CONVEX
sation by allusion to the weather.
Do not, when narrating an incident,
continually say you see you know. "
Do not intrude professional or other
topics that the company cannot take
an interest in.
Do not try to force yourself into the
confidence CT others If they give their
confidence, never betray it.
Do not talk very loudly. A firm,
clear, distinct, yet mild, gentle and
musical voice has great power.
Do not speak disrespectfully of per
sonal appearance when any one pres
ent may have the same defects.
Do not be absent-minded, requiring
the speaker to repeat what has been
said, that you may understand.
Do not intersperse your conversation
with foreign words and hghsounding
terms. 1t shows affectation and will
draw ridicule upon you.

Care of Furs.

Many fine set of furs is ruined and
many an ordinary set worn out in half
its due time by carelessness or ignor-
ance. 1t is not the wearing of them,
even in rain and snow, that hurts, but
the lack of care after they are taken
off. They should never be placed in a
closet damp and crumpled up or with
other clothing on top. If they have
been showed upon shake them as dry
as possible, and spread out in a warm
place until they are bone dry. Then
they should be brushed the wrong way
and hung up or laid away in a roomy
box. Ermlne and chinchilla should be
placed In layers of tissue paper and
cleaned occasionally with lump of
magnesia. Most furs which have be-
come slightly soiled may be freshened
with a piece of cotton dampened with
gasoline.

20 KILLED IN MINE EXPLOSION.
Fifty Rescuers Perish Striving to
Save Victims of Earlier Disaster.

Save Victims of Earlier Disaster.
Near Hanna. Wyo., seventy miners
were entombed in No. l shaft of the
Union Pacific Coal Company as the re-
suit of two terrific explosions of gas,
Saturday, which hot only completely
wrecked the workings of the colliery,
but wrought great havoc in the town.
Fifty of the miners formed rescue
party which was feverishly striving TO
dig its way to the recesses of the mine
to bring out the bodies of twenty work
men who had lost their lives in an ex-
plosion which occurred earlier in the
day. Among the rescuers was State
Mining Inspector ID. NJ. Elias of Rock
Springs, who was one Of those direct
ing work in the mine.
The double disaster is the sequel to
a fire which broke out in the mine n
week ago. 1t was quickly walled Oft
and work went on as usual in the part
not affected. Meanwhile party Of
experienced fire fighters and gas msn
under Briggs, Burton, Dodds and Knox
were sent into the mine, where they
worked steadily up to O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The day was an idle day in the mine
and 200 diggers, drivers and others who
had been employed in that part of the
workings not swept by fire were absent.

Charles Harris lett the mine at 2
o'clock and warned those in charge that
the fire was getting beyond control aud
that matters were approaching a dan
geroIs stage. Exactly an hour after
ward the whole district was shaken by
a terrible blast, which wrecked many
buildings in the town and scattered
timbers and debris around the mine
opening Crowds of women and chill
dren rushed weeping to the spot, the
meaning of the sound being only too
well known. Fifty rescuers at once en-
tered the mine and began TO dig their
way through the debris which blocked
all the entrances.
AT 10 80 o'clock a second explosion,
ten times louder and more violent than
the first, shook the town, causing a
scene of panics. The rescuers were
overwhelmed at point in the work

The Shin Nose.


The greasy skin that causes such
heartburnings among women who can
not prevent their noses from shining,
is a result of a disordered condition OF
the fat-producing glands of the skin
The secretion from these glands IS
both abnormal in amount and is al
tered in character, being more oily than
usual. The skin of the forehead,
cheeks and nose is affected, the mouths
of the tiny glands being dilated, and
often there is a noticeable enlargement
of the superficial blood vessels The
cause is unknown.
1t occurs chiefly in young adults, IN
women more frequently than in men.
and in brunettes more than in blondes.
The patient may be in perfect health
otherwise, but the condition is often
met with in consumptives, and in amaze
mic, generally rundown subjects.
there are no specific remedies. TONES
containing iron, arsenic or strychnine
are often of benefit. Locally, evapor-
ating lotions containing alcohol or
ether may be tried. These, together
with some pure powder, USED with dis
erection, are the only means by which
this unfortunate skin condition can be
improved. The powder should only be
lightly busted on, and should never be
rubbed into the skin so as to clog the
pores.
The face should first be washed ana
carefully dried, then bathed in some
cooling toilet water, and dried again,
after which a very small amount OF
the powder should be lightly busted on.

Bandits on Santa Fe Stay Messenger
and Loot Express Safes.
While the Santa Fe passenger train
No. 115 was under full speed between
Florence and Newton, Kan, early Sun
day morning robbers entered the ex-
press car of the Wells-F Fargo Company,
murdered the messenger, o. A. Bailey,
of Kansas City, and went through the
safes, obtaining at least $1,000 in
money, besides jewelry.
Bailey's body was found when the
train reached Newton. 1t was stretched
on the floor of the ear, the head beaten
to pulp ard lying in a pool of blood.
There was 40 evidence of struggle,
the indications pointing to the commit
ting of the murder while the messenger
was asleep, before he could offer re-
sistance. Bailey was last seen alive
at Strong City. At Peabody some one
opened the car door just enough to
throw out package of walbills and
then closed it quickly.
been to go to sleep soon after leaving
Florence. After being struck and rem
dered unconscious, his body rolled to
the floor and the robber after beating
his head, covered it with the dead
mans coat. From the dead mans
pockets keys were taken and the safes
ransacked
Two theories are held by the officers.
One is that the robbers entered the
car unobserved at Emporia, Strong City
or some other point along the line and
concealed themselves until favorable
opportunity to commit the robbery oc-
Cured, and the other is that Bailey
admitted somebody he knew and con-
sidered friend.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the Wells-Fargo Company for the
apprehension of the robbers.
