oD0R SHOULD BE ELUSIVE
Just a Suggestion Of Perfume Is
All the Really Dainty Girl
Will Allow Herself.

MANY girls who are decked for con

selves n nuisance to every one who
comes near them by their choice ol
perfumes. If they would but learn
that heavy scent is vulgar life would
be more comfortable for those who
come their way

OF an odor from perspiration. will sat

and think she has added the finishing
touch of elegance.
There are some persons who are
made i'll by even suggestion of per.
fumery; there are others who become
unconscious from the smell of heavy
scent in close room. while still 9th
ers are made to sneeze violently by
breathing satchet powder
No refined girl would want to make
herself nuisance to her neighbors
Leaving the question of lack of refine
ment out of ii, perfumes should not
be used excessively from a humani.
tartan standpoint. We should refrain
from any practice that may make 9th,
ers uncomfortable.
A girl once wondered at her lack
of popularity. She was charming
girl but slipped up on many an invi.
tation that went to less attractive
friends. Her amazement was great
when candid older woman told her
that her lack of invitations was due to
her love of tuberoses. which she con.
stantiy wore.
A heavy odor of perfumery also
gives rise to unpleasant suggestions

II one cannot refrain from the per-

THE PARTY NAME.

The men you employ to make your
laws at Washington have been doing
it with a vengeance. Take, for in
stance, their laws regarding postal
affairs. Not only do they give the
railroad corporations eight times the
price for hauling the mails that the
railroads charge for hauling the same
number Of pounds of express on the
same trains, but they charge you
sixty times as much as Germany
charges for the same service. But
even that is not all. German mer-
chants can ship any weight of pack
age up to eleven pounds across the
American Continent through our
mail system for less money than you
can send it five miles. Any foreign
merchant can use the United States
postal system for one-fourth to one
half less than what you have to pay.
Those blessed congressman you have
been voting for all your lives have
been doing this to you. But in your
ignorance of what they are doing you
continue to elect them year after
year. All you know about politics is
the sound of the party name. Now
isn't that about true?- Messenger

MISSIONARY WORK USELESS.

Thinkers seem increasing in num-

preston to the honest opinion of it's
editor. He says:
"The massacre of several Ameri-
can missionaries in Turkey is in it.
self deplorable, but it serves to re-
mind us of the indubitable fact that
these men and women would not be
killed if they had been at work where
they really belong-at home and not
abroad. 1t is an open question if
foreign missionaries have not accom-
plished quite as much harm as good
They attempt to convert to Christi
anity races which have been born
and bred to different religious ideals.
On paper they accomplish many con-
versions; in reality it is hardly prob
able they make one real Christian
out of hundred converts. In most
cases the so-called Christianity of
Turkish, African or Chinese converts
is hardly skin deep. -
''The missionaries breed strife; for
a variance in religious belief is GER
tain to lead to trouble. Again, most
native races are happier and just as
we'll off with their own peculiar reli-
gion, be it Buddhism, Confucianism
or Mohammedanism. Religion is a
matter of evolution and it is folly to
try to shove a white mans religion
into black or yellow race. Invaria-
BILE massacres have marked the pro-
gress of the missionary in China,
Africa, Turkey and among our own
Indians. Other tangible results are
few.
con the other hand among the
slums in our great cities there is
great field for social work, and the
work will have good results. If one
half the money wasted on foreign
missions were spent at home every
body concerned would be better off,

ANECDOTE OF Elk PRESIDENT
ANDREW JACKSON.

Among the mountain people of the
South, more particularly among the
mountain people of East Tennessee, it is
believed that sure cure for Gifts" is
piece of the rope with which an limo
cent person has been hanged, or part of
the chain with which an innocent person
has been shackled.
Concerning this, the following anec-
dOte was once related to me by friend
who was boy in Greenville, Tenn, at
the time the incident occurred, and who
saw and heard every word that passed
AS is we'll known, President Andrew
Johnson incurred the intense hostility of
the Northern radicals as well as of the
Southern "unreconstructed rebels" In
the South the extremists hated him bit
terly for his course during the CIVIL
War, and they held against him the in
dignities heaped upon ex-President Davis
during his imprisonment at Fortress
Monroe, and the execution of Mrs. Sur
ratt, who was universally believed to be
innocent of any connection with the as
sassination of President Lincoln.
Among those who hated President
johnson was maiden lady of middle
age and unbridled tongue, who lived in
Greenville, Tenn, the home town of
johnson. She was a privileged charac-
ter, saying pretty much what she pleased
to everybody.
Soon after ex-President Johnson re-
turned to Greenville to live, at the ex-
piration of his term of office, he hap
pened to pass along the street one day
when this lady-who represented the
most beligerent type of Southern SYM
pathizers sitting on the front We
randa talking to some friends Catching
sight of Johnson, she sprang to her feet
and hailed him.
Good morning, Mr. President"
Johnson lifted his hat and returned
the salutation:
"Good morning, Miss -," and was
about to pass on when she checked him
with the question, asked in loud voice
which had defiant challenge in it:
What are you now going to do for
living, Mr.. President?"
johnson was, naturally, taken aback
by any such public question as this, but
he answered readily enough:
