FOR A LAVENDER LUNCHEON.
Serve a Custard in the Way Which Is
Here Described.

For a lavender luncheon try a cus-
tard favored and tinted with grape
juice, making sure that the latter is
absolutely unfermented. Heat a quart
of milk in a double boiler, add half
o cup of sugar. When dissolved. stir
in two tablespoons of grape juice and
directly after this two tablespoons Of
rennet extract, which you can buy al
any first-class grocery. Turn into a
large glass bowl, which has been. wet
with hot water and is sitting in hot
water, This will prevent the crack
ing of the bowl. AS soon as the bowl
is cold enough to handle lift out of the
water, wipe and set away in ice box.
Serve with whipped cream, in which
eandied violets, minced nuts and pull.
verified sugar have been beaten. Or
you can turn the rennet into a mold
with a tube center, turn 1t out very
gently and fill the hole left by the
tube with whipped cream AS rennet
is very difficult to handle, 1t is safer
to pour it directly into the glass dish
from which 1t is to be served.

MRS. JOHN ". KERN
CHILDREN THE HOBBY OF WIFE
OF DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
Home Life Is Ideal and Her Club
Work Is Devoted to Inducing
Women to Aid Little Ones in
Many Ways.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Mrs. John W.
Kern, wife of the Democratic candi-
date for vice-president, has a hobby.
1t is not woman's clubs, although she
is a clubwoman; or fashionable din
ners, or dogs, or cats, or automobiles.
All these are good enough in their
way, but not deserving of the allah
sorbing attention of the human mind
in the opinion of Mrs. Kern. Her
hobby is children.
Mrs. Kern primarily is a home wom-
an, a thoughtful wife and tender
mother. And after that she bends her
strongest influence and devotes the
most of her extra time to the children
of her home city who are sick and
tired and curbed by scant surround
ings. She is often found at the Ell
eanor hospital for sick children. There
she is the most welcome visitor and
her sympathetic smile has lent en-
couragement to hundreds of small suf-
ferers.
There is no one more prominent In
the free playground movement in In
d~ianapolis than Mrs. Kern. She is
the most enthusiastic patron of the
fresh air camps.
Mrs. Kern is thoroughly practical in
her ideas. Women's clubs, she de-
clares, can do far more good by as,
sisting charities like the children's
hospital and the playground movement
than by discussing the whyfores and
wherefores Of Balzac. While she was

Don't FORGET the Tariff Issue,

In the outpouring Of political argu-
ment from rostrum and sanctum
thing must not be lost sight of, and
that is the tariff. Despite Speaker
Cannon's perfervid declaration that he
will never vote for any measure that
advantages one American citizen more
than another it is hardly to be hoped
that he will undertake any tariff re-
vision that may equalize commercial
opportunities.
Special privilege exists by permission
of the tariff and nonenforcement of
the Sherman law. Republican speak
ers and editors loudly protest that the
$29,000,000 fine against the Standard
Oil Company was altogether just and
reasonable, and demand it's collection.
But you don't hear one single small
voice uplifted to demand a reduction
of the 1875 per cent. tariff which pro-
tects this huge monopoly.
1t is impossible to secure prison
sentences for the officers of predatory
corporations, and if they are fined
we hear a wild cutlery that the poor
stakeholder suffers.
Industrial independence is a prelim-
mary essential to political independ-
ence. To secure industrial independ-
ence special privileges must be abol-
ished.

colored shoes.

1t is in the perfection of each little
detail that the success of the ensemble
depends, and footwear is undoubtedly
one of the most important items and is
a point especially to be considered in
river toilets, as when stepping in and
out of a boat the shoes come into spe.
cial prominence. Colored shoes Of a
delicate champagne, blue or gray are
proving very strong rivals to the
brown ones SO popular a short time
ago and are worn with the fashionable
white ribbed silk hose. White suede
shoes and buckles to match are also
much in evidence.-Tattler.

Taft and Tariff Reform.

The Republican platform calls for
tariff revision. Mr.. Taft says that
this means increase of duties as well
as a decrease. He also tells us that
the panic of 1898 was caused by the
Democratic tariff, which became law
In August, 1894.
He must mean by this that the du-
ties in that tariff were SO low that
they produced disaster to u indus
tries. He must also near that he
would veto any tariff bin which called
for such extreme reduction in taxes.
Yet this was the bill which President
Cleveland. refused to sign because the
reduction was so slight!
In the face of these facts how can
any genuine tariff reformer support
a candidate for president who thinks
the Wilson tariff bill too extreme?

Old Joe's Grubstake
By Edith King Latham
tcopyrigbt, Dy shOrtstOry Pub. Coz
By Edith King Latham

Old Joe Cunnill was a picturesque
feature of life in Sauger's Pass, al
though the townspeople were not
greatly impressed with the quaint side
of the old mans character. To them
it was an old story, once both conf
cal and pathetic, but now grown stale
from frequent reading.
Ever since the founding of Sauger's,
Old Joe had figured in the history OF
the little mountain settlement, at first
as a pioneer owner of the first stamp
mill, and afterward, through the sharp
vicissitudes of a miners life, he had
slipped down to his present position
of the forlorn but ever-hopeful fortune
seeker, his sole possessions a lanky
mule, a rifle and a meager prospecting
outfit. With this stock in trade, he
was wont to set out on his expeditions
through Siskiyou county, often travel
ing as far south as Redding, and
sometimes washing out two or three
dollars a week in gold. on the banks
of the Sacramento, where 1t rushes
through the narrow mountain canyons.
AS it happened this year Old Joe
Cunnill had varied bis usual program
by remaining all winter and we'll into
the summer in Sauger's, and 1t was
not until one morning in July that he
and his mule were cen in marching
order, slowly making their way down
the country road toward the south.
Three men sitting on the versnda
of the Shasta house, were discussing a
now mining boom.
Suddenly one of them slapped his
knee, and brought his chair down with
a thud on the floor.
Say, boys, I've got an idea thatI
give us some fun and set up the an
cient %prospector in the highest heaven
of joy. Let's grubstake him!"
Loud bursts of laughter greeted the
proposition, but after a little, the huge
ness of the joke began to appea
strongly to these prominent citizens o.
Sauger's.
An hour later, the bewildered oil
man plodded, in a daze, beside hi
pack mule, with the pleasant recollec

The Democratic platform declares
that material reductions should be
made in the tariff on necessities of
life, especially on articles competing
with such American manufactures a $
are sold abroad cheaper than at
home"
This means that American consum-
ers, robbed remorselessly by eastern
trusts, shall no longer be compelled to
assist in their own robbery by main
tanning tariff protection of the robbers.
Whatever else may be said Of the
platform, it cannot be denied that o
strong appeal has been made to In
dependent voters, particularly In the
west, to vote for Democratic congress
men this fall and thus to end the
reign Of eastern tariff barons.

ILLOGICAL AS EVER
REPUBLICAN CONDEMNATION OF
DEPOSIT GUARANTY IDEA.
In Their Platform the Plank ~lndorsIng
Postal Savings Banks Is Proof
of Defects in Present
Banking System.

1t is probably unfortunate that the
Incorporation of the bank-deposit
guaranty proposed in the Democratic
platform has given that plan a political
prominence which forbids discussion
of it on it's merits. Of Democratic
origin, it is naturally repugnant to Re-
publicans, and they argue against 1t,
in characteristic fashion, with epithets
rather than ideas.
AS to the effect the adoption of the
scheme would have On the banking
business, only the prophets may talk
with assurance. But when the Repub-
leans denounce it as socialistic and
unwarranted interference by the gov
eminent, it is pertinent to remark that
they have in their own platform, as
MI. Cowherd has pointed out, a plank
indorsing postal savings banks. In his
letter of acceptance Mr.. Taft said in
relation to this plank:
"The Republican platform recon-
mends the adoption Of a postal savings
bank system in which, of course, the
government would become responsible
to the depositors for the payment of
principal and interest. 1t is thought
that the government guaranty will
bring out of boarding places much
money which may be turned into
wealth-producing capital"
Diminishing the confession contained
herein that the present banking sys-
TEN is defective if it does not beget
enough confidence to prevent such
boarding, it may be said that the op'
ponents of the postal savings system
argue shrewdly that the insurance by
the government of deposits i'll the
postal banks would make them so at.
tractive that the savings banks, now
usually state institutions, would be
driven out of business and the So, 700,
| 000, 900 now deposited in them would
find it's way into the national banks,
where it is planned to deposit the
funds of the postal banks.
Thus the government would have q
new and vast interest in the nationa
banks which would pave the way fol-
the ultimate passing of all the banks
into the hands of the government
Certainly it would be a step toward
Capitalization and contrary to Demo
cratic principles, if it did not become
actual government ownership and so
cialism, and, therefore, still more an
tagonistic to Democratic principles.
This is not to say that the deposi
guaranty plan is good, bad or indit
ferent, or that the establishment O
postal savings banks would be a griev
GUS mistake. The merits of nelthe
plan are the subject of present con
troversy. The point is that the Re
publicans have condemned a simpl
plan of doing a desirable thing an
approved a complex plan of doing tn
same. thing and SO have made them
selves logically and otherwise ridicr
lous, as usual.-St. Louis Republic.

ton of a hearty meal, and the amaz-
ing reality of three brilliant twenty
dollar gold pieces clanking their shin
ms sides against each other in his
pocket.
The grubstake was kept a secret be-
tween the three partners of Old Joe,
who amused themselves by mysterious
illusions to a wonderfully rich new
syndicate, but no amount of argument
could persuade them to reveal more
than this. The rumor grew that the
mill owner, the ~storekeeper and the
hotel man had had a quiet tip on a
big thing, and the town was prepared
for the announcement that the syndi-
cate had bought out the place, or that
monster improvements were to be in
troduced at Sauger's. But they were
totally unprepared for the announce
ment which burst upon the little town
toward the last of October.
The postmaster received word from
his brother-in-law, Charley Mason,
who farmed between Shasta and Red
ding, that old Joe Cunnill had struck
pay Dirt" The portion of the let
ter concerning Joe's fortunes ran as
follows:
Big piece OF news for Sauger's!
Spread it around Old Joe has made his
strike at. last. He's in 1t this time, sure;
got another ~feller's claim cheap. Didn't
wait for the assay, but experts say it's
the sure thing. Better make a little
fuss over the old Teller, welcome

me know how he got home. I'm going
down to s. F. tomorrow.
Forgot to say Joe leaves on the 11:4O
train Thursday morning.
Yours, CHARLEY.
The news spread like wildfire
through Sauger's, and, In less than an
hour after the letter was read, every.
body knew the story Of the three dou.

On Thursday morning Sauger's rose
early and decorated the buildings on
Main street with garlands of spruce
and fir, and cotton flags left over from
the last h nth Of July celebration.
Half an hour before train time, the
platform Of the little railway station
was crowded with ~expectant Sanger
ties. All the jokes Of the past siz
months were revived to while away
the long moments before the train was
due, but no joke was as potent tt
bring a laugh as the idea of the en-
tire town Of Sauger's Pass turning
out to honor the arrival of Old Jos
Cunnill, whom, three months before
the very dogs had not considered
worth a bark.
An echoing whistle from far dowI
the canyon at last brought silence, ant
the crowd made way for the recep
tion committee to step close to thu

the engine and a changing OF the bell
