Cheney Wants New Charter.

Cheney, Wash.-Owing to the fact
that the charter under which this
municipality operates is drawn IN
such a way as not to permit OF the
pavement OF the streets and the Is
suing bonds for the defraying OF the
expense, an effort will be made by
the legislative committee Of citizens
to get the legislature to grant new
charter comforting more power.
There is a strong sentiment In IA
vor of street paving. and many OF the
leading streets in both the residence
and business sections OF the town
would have been paved by this time
but for the defective charter.

A ReinycStment.

A Missouri man tells Of an Irish
man named Coug ghli.., who lived in
shanty standing in field near the
main highway from Kansas City.
The foundations of the shanty were
lower than the road through which
ran big water main. AS the living
floor Of the place was raised on
posts to make it level with the high
way, it left a large cellar under
meath, where Coughlin kept doz-
en- hens.
One day the Hatei burst, flooding
the cellar and drowning the hens.
Whereupon Coughlin took steps to
enter a claim for damages against
the city. After rnuch delay influential
friends succeeding in sec Iring the
sum of SIS in settlement of Cough
Inns claim.
"I've got the money!" shouted the
Irishman to a neighbor sitting on
the steps of the next shanty.
"It's glad I am to hear thot," was
the reply. And how much was it.,
Coughlin?"
"Twinty-foive dollars"
"And pnwat are ye goin' to do
with the twinty-foive, Coulhlin?"
'I'm going to buy twinty-fotve
dollars worth of ducks" said Cough
lin.-Harper's Weekly.

CLOCK AND WATCH FREAKS.
Not Necessarily Dirty When They
Require Cleaning

"a watch isn't necessarily dirty
when it requires cleaning" says a
Matchmaker. "It may need clean
ing when it hasn't even been worn.
"a common cause of this is that
the oil in the works has dried up
and become sticky, causing the watch
to 90 slow, or even to stop. In this
case it not only wants cleaning, but
also the addition of fresh oil.
"The best oil for this purpose IS
obtained from the jawbone OF the
porpoise, and kindred fish. Many
watchmakers mix their own oil from
various kinds.
"Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During a thunderstorm,
for instance a clock may stop, only
resuming work when minutes, days,
or even weeks have passed.

CAP FOR A BABY BOY.

Bit of Headgear.

Linen and Lace the Materials For This
Bit of Headsear.
Have you ever noticed how easy 1t
is to get all sorts of pretty things for
girl babies and how hard it Is to pro-
cure caps and sacks for boys? To fill
this need the accompanying sugges-
ton is given.
The illustration shows a cap made
of handkerchief linen, part Of hand
kerchief and lace.
First provide yourself with cap
pattern the required size; then buy for
the six months age, half yard of
sheer linen Sthirty-siI inches wide, q
sheer hemstitched embroidered Qinen)
handkerchief, skein Of fine mercer
lied embroidery cotton and four yards
Of French or German valenciennes
lace one inch wide.
Cut the headpiece according to d.
rections, which come with the pattern;
then cut piece four and half inches
wide and the length of the handker-
chief, which is usually twelve and
half inches. This is to be sewed very
neatly to the front Of the cap, turned
over on the right side and ornamented
with two rows of French knots, one
row Of small brer stitching and two
more rows Of French knots done with
the working cotton.
To make the crown to match the
front cut piece Of fine val insertion
design to match the lace edge the
length Of the round crown, join to it on
each side a piece cut from the hem
stitched edge Of the handkerchief, then
finish the cap according to printed di-
rections on the pattern until you come
to the lace trimming. which should be
done in the following manner: Cut OIL
sufficient lace to so around the crown.
around the turned back piece and the
back of the neck. allowing once around
and half that, then a little over for the
corners: use the remainder for the
face. divide it in half as we'll as the
can, so as to get it even, and the cap
is finished.
Make the strings any desired SIZE
Four inches wide and twenty-seven to
thirty inches long for each one IS
pretty. They must be hemmed by hand,
of course, and the ends hemstitched to
correspond with the hand work on the
bonnet.
If you use a handkerchief as de-
scribed, one viii make the turnback

knots, one row Of brier stitching and
two more rows of knots; repeat this
until the piece is the right size (for the
CROWN. Put the crown in the cap
with the work going up and down the
back, not across, as it looks much bet
ter.
Use fine thread to sew with. Do not
make large knots. In fact. there should
be no knots in fine sewing Use fine
needle. Have your hands immacu-
lately clean, so the article will COM
pore favorably with the beautiful
French work when finished.
Be sure to make the smallest stitches
possible when sewing on the lace edge.
There are plenty Of sewers who will
not need this advice, and, on the other
hand. there are as many who do need
it, and q timely word Of caution does
no harm.
