The claim that Washington women
are the most generously talented and
variously cultivated of any in the
country Is borne out, the Washington
Post says, by a knowledge of the
tastes and capabilities of many wom-
en- who are regarded chiefly as charm
ing hostesses or admired bellies.
The most notable instance of
Washington woman Of leisure who has
made a name for herself, not only
throughout the country, but also
throughout the world, IS, Of course,
Miss Mabel Boardman. Although she
has always sought to keep herself in
the background so far as the affairs of
the society are concerned, Miss Board
man is admittedly the whole show"
in Red Cross affairs. President Taft.
who has been for several years the
head of the organization, gladly gives
the credit for much of the success to
Miss Boardman. To a man-and all
the other members of the central com
mIttee Of the organization are men
the governing body of the Red CrosI
delights to sing Miss Boardman's
praises. Few of those who meet her
socially realize that Miss Boardman's
mornings are invariably devoted to
the work at Red Cross headquarters,
and that she works as hard as any
paid employe of the organization.
Not many persons are aware that
the first lady Of the land, Mrs. Taft,
has a diploma from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music which entities
her to teach. Mrs. Taft is perhaps the
finest pianist among the smart set,
and has paid much attention to the
development of her talent. AS Miss
Helen Heron in Cincinnati she was
noted for her interpretations of the
masterpieces of musical literature.

in terms of feet, no one will ever know.
Even as recently as 1880, official este
mates greatly varied.
What the remaining forests contain,
however, is more nearly known. The
best estimators in the national forest
service reckon the present standing
merchantable timber at about 2,000,y
O0O000,000 feet. OF this amount AGO.
oo0,00o,o0O feet are hardwood, the rest
conifers.
OF the total timber standing, the
northern states are credited with $780,
O00, 100000 feet, and the western states
with SOC, 900, 000, 900 feet, and the south
ern states with 7Oo,o0O,OOO, 900 feet.
These figures, Of course, mean little
except for purposes of comparison, but
they give real information as to our
supply when it is known that the an
nual cut reaches 10000, OOO,0 900.

Her delight in these two prosaic
realms led her to make a study Of ac-
counting, and her work on the sched-
ule of the tariff bill is remembered
with something akin to awe by all her
friends.
OF fine singers and graceful dancers
there is no lack among the fair daugh-
tiers Of Washington, but there are sew
eral who excel their friends in these
two arts. The most gifted dancer in
Washington is Miss Olga Converse,
daughter of the late Admiral Converse.
After her appearance in the amateur
play, I'VE Are in Society,"" Miss Con-
verse received offers from several Of
the biggest theatrical managers in the
United States, who put forth great In
ducements to tempt her to join their
productions. The hit she made would
have turned the head of almost any
other girl. Miss Converse is a true
daughter of Terpsichore, and her twin
king feet are capable of evolutions
which even the most graceful Of her
friends are not able to rival.

The Duty of Forgiveness.

The most plain and natural senti-
ments of equity concur with divine
authority to enforce the duty of for
Riyeness. Let him who has never, in

But let such as are conscious of
frailties and crimes consider forgive

COUGHING BURST
BLOOD VESSEL


Says Danger Avoided and Cures Coughs
in s Hours.
writer for the medical press states that
coughing is responsible for the bursting of
blood vessels quite frequently. cough or
cold means Inflammation (fever) and con-
gestiOn and these in turn indicate that
the body is full of poisons and waste matter.
Simple relief, as found in patent cough medi.
cines, and whiskey, often result in more
harm than good; as they cause more con-
gestiOn. tonic-laxative cough syrup will
work marvels and here follows a prescrp-
ton which is becoming famous for its prompt
relief and thorough cures. 1t rids the sys-
TEN of the cause, except it be consumption.
Don't wait for consumption to grasp its
victim, but begin this treatment which cures
some in five hours. Mix in bottle, one.half
ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Take twenty
drops every half hour for four hours. Then
one-half to one teaspoonful three or four
times a day. Give children less according
to age.

musicians also concede her ability
and as a concert pianist Mrs. Taft
might, had she chosen to do so, have
become almost as well known to the
people of the United States as she
now is.
MISS Helen Taft Is still SO young
tnat her talents and tastes are little
known to the public. She inherits the
fondness for study which Is inherent
IN the Taft family, and has always
been among the leaders in the classes
OF the schools which she has attended.
In addition to her scholastic pursuits,
Miss Taft is an authority on old china,
and Is quite capable of writing a trea-
tise which would be valuable as a
guide to collectors.
Mrs, James Bryce, wife of the Brit
ish ambassador, holds first place in
washington as maker of salads. In
this much appreciated art she has
shown an inventiveness that amounts
to genius, and her skill has given
ner the place pre-eminent even in the
diplomatic corps, many masculine
members of which proudly boast of
their skill as chefs. Mrs. Bryce's cele-
brated salads are responsible for a
fever Of emulation which has agitated
many Washington households, but
thus far her laurels as the best salad
maker Of the local smart set have re-
mained undisturbed.
One of the rarest abilities possessed
by a Washington woman is that OF
Mrs. James Cecil Hooe, who is an ex
pert accountant. From her father, the
late Representative Nelson Dingley, OF
Maine, author of the Dingley tariff
bill, Miss Edith Dingley, now Mrs
Hooe, inherits her grasp of facts and
figures, two things for which the ma
jority Of her sex have little fondness,

IN FULL BLAST
Foul Weather Affected the
Wednesday Attendance
EXHIBITS ARE VERY FINE
Buildings and Grounds were
Never Prettier.

Never Larger or More Magnificent
---Largc Crowds Expected on Clos
ing Days.

True 20 the prediction, the Marion
fair is bigger and better than ever,
The displays are all and more than
the directors had hoped for. The rae
es are exciting and interesting. In
fact the big show is not lacking in
any particular and IL IS now all up to
the pubic whether they wish TO get
ten dollars worth of pleasure out OF
Il tiny two-bits.
Although the attendance Wednes-
day was not up TO the expectations,
it was fairly good. considering the in
ancy OF the weather, and the man
agement is expecting to make up the
deficiency today and Friday If the
weather is any ways near warm, there
will be thousands of people who will
journey to the scene of the grand car
nival this afternoon and Friday.
A Mirror reporter visited the fair
grounds Wednesday afternoon and
had his attention called to not a few
particular features in the exhibits
The art hall, at all times an attrac-
tive place during the fair is excep-
tionally SC this year. yhe floor, walls
and even the cealings are covered
with exhibits of art.
Upon passing into the art hall from
the south, the first thing which strik-
es the attention of the sight ser is
the magnificent display of household
furnishings by the Hoover Rowlands
company. This display is in charge Of
Mr.. William Denzer, competent
person who enjoys his duty of ex.
planning the elegance of the display
and greeting the admirers. This fur
niture company occupies the first two
booths and it has certainly shown ad-
mirable taste in arranging its show.
An elegant bedroom suite together
with display of library furnishings
are the principal articles of display.
North OF the Hoover Rowlands COM
pany Is the display of the Marion De-
partment company. A fumed oak bed

II is in charge of Mr.. Pearl Dundore.
There is not a single feature lack

presented by the II. Schaffner furni-
tme company. The display is locat-
ed in the northeast corner of the art

NEW SYSTEM
G. D. & M. Cars to Be Run
on Different Plan.

The Columbus, Delaware & Marion
traction company expects within a
short time to make complete change
IN its system of train dispatching.
At present signals are given verb
ally over telephone are repeated by
the conductor to the motornan. who
In turn repeats them TO the dispatch
er. But nothing is recorded of the
transaction to show that such an
order had been received.
The new system Is already said to
be in use by all electric roads of any
size in the state. The order is given
over the telephone as formerly, but is
written in triplicate by the conductor.
One copy the conductor retains an
other goes to the motorman, and a
third is deposited in q small box pro-
vided for the purpose
In case of accident, the superintend-
ent can refer to the box, get the order
and determine Just what the instruc-
tions We're. The responsibility can
then be definitely placed and Disputes
avoided.
The system OF repeating the signals
TO the dispatcher will be retained.
Larger telephone booths enabling
the conductor to receive and write
his instructions will be placed at all
necessary points as soon as possible.

STEERING GEAR IS BROKEN
One Man Buried Under the
Machine.

Near Prospect, Wednesday Night.

Frank Hazen, DR.. X. +. Finefrock
and Fred Sauer, all of Prospect were
seriously injured in disastrous auto
mobile wreck occurring Just south OF
Prospect at 9:30 o'clock last might.
The large Jackson touring car own
ed by Hazen plunged into the ditch
completely turning turtle. The acei-
dent was due to flaw in the steering
wheel connections.
The party of four including the
above named and w. f. Allmendinger
also OF Prospect, were returning home
from Columbus where they had been
attending the races. Hazen was driv-
ing the car. When the car neared
Prospect, something happened to the
steering wheel connections. The next
instant the machine was skdding
upside down in the side ditch. For
tunately Hazen had just slowed the
motor down to- make q turn. Had he
been running Mt his usual speed the
party would undoubtedly been killed.
When the car turned turtle, all OF
the occupants managed to jump with
the exceptions OF Hazen who wash pin
ned behind the wheel. The body Oh
the car formed a complete trap for
the unfortunate driver and the party
was compelled 70 labor for nearly an
hour 10 rescue him from his position.
w. i. Allmend;nger was the only
one of the party who escaped. injury.
lie was sitting in the front seat with
Hazen. He was pitched out over the
engine and alighted on soft grassy
spot in the side ditch. Hazen's in
juries are thought to be quite serious
he sustained several serious cuts
about the face and body and there
are number of dangerous bruises
on his chest. 1t is feared that he al
so suffered internal injuries. DR.. Fine
frock was badly cut and bruised. A
dangerous cash in his left leg and a
cut in the face are his principal
wounds. Fred Sauer was cut and bad
ly bruised but his condition is not
serious.
After Bazen had been taken from
the ruins OF the automobile, one of
the party walked to n farm house and
telephoned to Prospect. Assistance
arrived a little later and the injured
were loaded into another machine
and hurried to physicians office.
The automobile was almost COM
pletely demolished. The rear portion
OF the bed was crushed into kindling
wood. The motors were twisted and
the connections were transformed
into a mass OF twisted steel. The re-
mains OF the car were gathered up
Thursday and Will probably be sold
for scrap iron.
An examination of the steering
connections disclosed that one of the

are hundreds of exhibitors and by
passing through the sheds, the public
will soon be convinced of the fact
that Marion county farmers are not
far behind the times when 1t comes to
breeding fancy stock.
A number of local automobile SAL
esmen have placed their cars on ex-
hibition. The Maxwell has 1910
model passenger car located beneath
the grand stand. The Drake agency
has the buggy" auto on exhibit be-
meath tent and a number OF other
well known cars are being demons
trated.
There Is only one thing lacking on
the ground exhibit and that is the
absence OF display of threshing ma
chinery. The Huber manufacturing
company will not show it's machinery
this year for some unknown reason
and this feature is greatly missed.
A fine line of farm machinery is
displayed by various local dealers and
the ground located south of the art
hall is crowded with this exhibit.
There are plenty of shows to amuse
everybody who desires this kind of
diversion. Fortune tellers are much
In evidence and the "squalker" man
is doing a nice business in disposing
of the noisy little balloons There is
something doing all the time and the
party who does not attend the fair
this year, Will surely miss a rare
treat.
