But FEW RECRUITS
Wayne County Men Do Not

HAVE GOOD EMPLOYMENT.

Uncle Sam, if he depended upon
Richmond and this vicinity to furnish
the men behind the guns for his fight
ing ships would soon have to dry dock
all of them and take up the sign, this
country has gone out of the naval bus
mess. No nations need try to pick a
quarrel with u.s."
Today the United States ranks sec
ond to Great Britain as a naval power
and your Uncle Samuel is always look
ing for men to man the ships of his
constantly increasing fleet, SO one of
the numerous navy recruiting offices
has been located at the Richmond post
office-but, to the disgust of our I'm
Gle, the local station is doing little or
no business.
The station has been located here
since last September, being open to
enlist recruits every Friday, but up to
the present time Yeoman Ferguson, in
charge of the station, has only been
able to secure two or three recruits.
Friday, as usual, Ferguson sat in his
room at the postoffice, his face wear
ing an expectant smile as he lovingly
fingered some attractive literature re-
lating in glowing terms the joys of the
life of a merry tar, but not prospect

Perhaps the reason the young men
of this city and vicinity are not at

because they have plenty of work open
for them in this prosperous community

ment and adventure-which is the
magnet the government most depends
upon to draw young men into the navy

LIFE OF A PiMPLE.
compIe,3ons Are Cleared and PimpIes
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be CIV
en- that no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Those who have
tried it will find that the fifty-cent
box, on sale at w. H. Sudhoff's and
all drug stores, is sufficient to cure
the worst cases of eczema, where the
surface affected is not too large. The
itching ceases on first application. 1t
will also cure acne. letter. blotches,
scaly scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and contain
ing no grease, the presence of poslam
on exposed surfaces, such as the face
and hands, is not perceptible. Water
and soap cannot be used in .connec-
ton with it, as these irritate and pro-
long skin troubles, sometimes even
causing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Laborator-
les, 30 West Twenty-fifth Street, New
York. 1t alone is sufficient to clear
the complexion overnight. and to rid
the face of pimples in twenty-four
hours.

sure Governor Deneen will grant a

In one of the vestibules of the Tri
bune building crowd gathered da,
or two ago around a handsome little
boy about ten years old, who, betweel
sobs, told the sympathizing people
Il want my father" Diligent search
was made through the building. bu'
the missing father could not be found
Men neglected business engagements
and women forgot their errands in al
effort to console the little man. After
long time, when pictures and sorries
failed to interest the child, the father
sauntered leisurely along and seemed
to be astonished that the child should
have worried, because he was only
lone fight up" One man in the
crowd said: You know that, and
the people with you know it, but the
little boy-how about him? And how
about all Of us here. who have been
caring for the youngster?"

The Forest Reserves Are Ruined
President Decides to Bring Suit Against Owners of Anacon
da Properties of Smelling Trust

Guiding Solicitor General Hoyt, agreed
that the plan of a bill in equity was
the best which had been presented, but
he was anxious that there should be a
cvertainty of results if the bill were
filed, and the suits began. He there
fore gave instructions that an agent OF
the. Department of Justice should pro-
coed to the mines and make a thor.
ough report as to the actual damage
done, and whether it was likely to in.
crease.
This step of the President had the
effect of increasing the alarm of the
trust people who expected to dispose
of the whole matter at the conference
with the President, Saturday.

His Whole DUTY.

1t Is not often that one man is called
upon to assume the duties of an army.
Such case is on record. however. and
Is cited in Benjamin Willey's History
of the White Mountains" At the first
legal meeting of the citizens of the lit
tie town of Albany. n. H., every sol
dier In the place was summoned to as
semble.
The officers were duly chosen, but it
turned out there was only one private.
Looking wistfully Mt his superiors in
array before him, the solitary repre-
sentative of the ranks said:
Gentlemen. have one request to
make-that is. as am the only soldier,
! hope you will NOT be too severe In
drilling me, but will spare me a little,
as may be needed another time"
He also remarked that he could form
a solid column. but that ..it racked
him shockingly to deploy."

Identified themselves with the domin-
ant parties, save in some peculiar in
stance like Judge Lindsey's case
where occasion demanded indepen-
dent thinking and voting.
Ten years ago the women OF Colo
RADIO had two women members OF the
state legislature. Several laws franz
ed by women in the interest of the sex
have been passed, but as a whole the
cause of suffrage in Colorado has been
passive rather than aggressive. At
tempts have been made to stampede"
the woman vote by raising false NOR
al issues" but these have fallen flat.
Regarding the exercise of the fran
chise the women have proved ind1ffer-
ent only in proportion to the import
ance of the elections. 1t cannot be
said that they are more Indifferent
than the men or that there is larg-
err "stay at home" vote among them.
AS a rule it will be found that the en-
franchised women of the West echo
the sentiments of Miss Ellis Mere
dith, leading suffragist of Colorado,
who in a recent magazine article de-
clared that the greatest satisfaction
comes not from voting, but from the
knowledge that the right to vote is
hers.
As Practical Politicians.
Instances are known of women TAX
ing to the game of politics like ducks
to water" One young woman during
the campaign just closed visited every
town in Wyoming and organized fifty
Bryan clubs, as she expressed it, Just
for the joy of the work"
1t is surprising to the visitor to a
suffrage State to find women engaged
in the practical work at the polling
places. After the stranger has run
the gamut of the workers. outside
the polling place he finds that fully
half the clerks and watchers are WON
en-. These clerical workers are re,
cruited from all ranks of life, and
most of them welcome the opportuni
ty Of earning a little "pipn money" at
this kind of employment. They are
lynx eyed when it comes to detection
of fraud, and, unlike men, they do not
hesitate to speak up" whenever a
suspicious circumstance arises.
In Colorado which may be said to
be representative of the suffrage
States of the West, conditions are
summed up by local suffrage leader
as follows:
1T may be that women suffrage has
not done much good as far as accom-
plishing sweeping reforms is con
cerned, but no one can get twelve rep
utable men in Colorado to sign state
ment to the effect that equal suffrage
has done any harm"

Sydney Smiths Salad DRESSING.


That witty divine. Sydney Smith

Ealad dressing, which those who have
tried praise highly:
Two boiled potatoes strained through a
kitchen sieve
Softness and smoothness to the salad
give.
OF nordnnt mustard take single spoon
Distrust the condiment that bites too
soon.
Yet deem 1t not, thou man of taste, a
fault
To add a double quantity of salt.
Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca
crown
And twice with vinegar procured from
town.
True taste requires 1t. and your poet begs
The pounded yellow Of two hard boiled
eggs.
Let onions atoms Turk within the bowl
And scarce suspected. animate the whole
And lastly in the favored compound toss
A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce.
Oh, great and glorious, Oh. herbaceous
meat!
'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat
Back to the world he'd turn his weary
soul
And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl

Henceforth the Puritan will he engaged
in the transportation of passengers and
fruit between this city and the Cape
Verde Islands off the west coast Of
Africa. The Puritan was designed by the
late Edward Burgess and built for the
late j Malcolm Forbes of Boston.
The race for the Americas cup. won by
the Puritan was fought out only after the
defender had proven that she was tho
superior of the other fleet yachts in
American waters and therefore entitled
TO the honor of competing against the
British vessel. The closest rival of the
Puritan in the trial races was the slooo
Priscilla, which won one of the three de-
Gliding contests.
The cup race was over the Owls Head
SANDY Hook lightship course a distance
of thirty-eiGht miles. The first race was
on September II. 1855, when the Puritan.

Richard Sutton. and designed by j. Bca-

after the two boats had sailed min and

thrilling and close nautical duel. Suisse
