A good cleanser for hard wood is to

The front hair is puffed out loosely

out this effect of a narrow bandeau of

ANNOUNCEMENT R

Must Be Sent to Acquaintance, "At
Home" Cards Only to Friends.
Girls who are married quietly should
be particular to send many announce
ment cards. To say that these en-
graved forms should be sent broadcast
is none too strong, for to omit a per-
sol is equivalent to saying that n
does not care to acknowledge his or
her existence, and they differ from in
vitations in that to send one is not
tantamount to a request to continue
the acquaintance. But if therS is the
slightest doubt as to whether or not a
person Is to be remembered by an an
nouncement 1t would be better to err
on the side of commission than omis-
sion.
The Enclosure of an 'at home" card
becomes a direct request for the per-
sons acquaintance, and In my opinion
such cards are important with an
-nouncements. There is always more
or less speculation as to the reasons
or details of a small wedding when
the persons married have a large list
of acquaintance, and unless there are
sat home" cards the newly married
couple are not definitely located in the
minds of their friends. Nothing def
mite is expected Of the prospective
hostess, because no definite days need
be set. 1t Is enough that the card
shall read, AT home after November
first" for instance. The address then
follows.
There are slight changes in the
forms for announcements. Those who
care for the most elaborate choose a
kind wherein the recipients name Is
written, as In some wedding invita-
lions. This means much extra work
and is not better form than the usual
one that omits 1t.
Also as In invitations the announce
ments may be made in the name Of
the brides parents or her nearest rela-
%tive-for example:
"Mr. and Mrs. James Brown Smith"
may announce the marriage of their
daughter Laura to Mr.. Charles Evans
Jones,H the place and date following.
They are sent out precisely as are
Invitations. There are two envelopes,
and the name of a young girl may be
put ON that of the parents. The cards
must be addressed and stamped to be
posted Immediately after the ceremo-
ny. 1t is a great mistake to have any
delay In getting them out.
Incidentally n may say to a bust
ness girl that 1t is a courteous act to
send an announcement, but not an "at
home" to her former employer. and
whether or not she has eve seer the
wife, if he is married, her name should
be included. 1t is never good form to
send a married man a card of any
sort without also one to his wife.

About Mrs. HUDSON and Mrs. fulton.
If Henry Hudson and Robert Full
ton CALAMITY referred to their wives
as their better halves time has beef
less polite in almost c%onsigning their
memory to oblivion.
OF Mrs. Hudson we have scarcely
any record. There is no record of who
she was or where she died. She was
simply the wife of Henry Hudson, the
woman who watched him sail away
on his hazardous voyages toward an
unknown world and who in his alb
sence struggled with poverty and
prayed for his return.
In an old contract of Hudson's with
the East India company we find that
the company bound itself to pay Hud-
son 1920 If he was successful in find
ing the passage which he was sailing
for; ''also other rewards commensurate
for his service to be agreed upon be-
tween the company and the said Hen
ry Hudson" But, mindful of the wife
and children he was leaving behind
him, Hudson had the proviso inserted
that If he failed to return from his
voyage the company was to pay his
widow for her support and the main
tenance of his children the m~unificent
sum of $50.
Whether Mrs. Hudson collected this
in which she lost both her husband
and her eldest son. we do not know,
but we find In the court minutes of the
East India company for April IA, 1914.
the following: Being Informed that
Mrs. Hudson. the wife or widow Of
Mr.. Hudson, who was lost in the
northwest discovery, desired their ia
vor for employing a son of his, SIZE
being left very poor. and c~onceiviu~
that they were partly obliged In ehar
ity to give assistance in regard thai
his father persisted in the coiniHOn
wealth, resolved to recommend him L.
the care OF some one who is going t.
make n voyage to the East Indies
In an entry a few days later we fne
that the company was even better than
its word, for we read. Mrs. Hudson's
son being recommended to the care of
Hunt. masters mate in the Samaritan,
8 { be laid out for him in apparel and
necessaries."
More is of course known of Mrs. Full
ton, since she has living descendants
not nan generations removed from
her memory. However, Fulton's biog-
raphers content themselves with dis
missing the lady in n paragraph and
with the statement: I'm 1906 Fulton
was married to Harriet, the daughter
of Walter Livingstone. some relative
of the enterprising chancellor. with
whom Fulton had so much controyer-
sy. Four children were born of the
union-three girls and a boy, Robert
Barlow Fulton"
Perhaps it Is because Fulton was
considered a confirmed bachelor when
he married. being more than forty
years old and having apparently paid
little attention to women previously.
that the lady In question did not have
greater influence on his career.

CARE OF RUBBER FOOTWEAR.
Oil, Sunlight and Heat All Harmful.
Rubber Shoes Should Fit Well.

OU1 0duiiSni duQ FICdI ~
Rubber Shoes Should Fit Well.
Some valuable suggestions are o n
tanned in a circular issued by a rub
Der footwear producing firm:
First.-Importance Of fitting rubbers
properly. However good the quality
or perfect the style. rubber shoes will
not give satisfactory service If they
are not properly fitted to the leather
shoes over which they are intended to
be worm. Neither car rubber boots nor
lumbermen's shoes be expected to yea
we'll If they are not properly fitted.
Always fit boots as small as they can
be worn with comfort. 1t is impossi-
BILE to make a boot that will not break
in the foot If it is worn too large. Fit
boots small and thus avoid wrinkles
and insure good service.
Second.-Grease and oil are very in
furious. Do not allow grease. oil or
animal fat to come In contact with
rubber goods, as it will speedily de-
compose the best rubber thel can be
produced. Even milk contains enough
grease to injure rubber boots and shoes.
Third.-Strong sunlight is injurious.
Rubber boots and shoes when not be-
ing worn should always be kept away
from the air MS much as possible and
in a cool. dark place. MS strong sunlight
and hot. dry air will 500 cause even
the best rubber TO oxidKe and crack.
especially where ii is wrinlled or the
outside surface Of the rubber is under
a constant strain.
Fourth.-Hent is fatal. Remember
that heat unbearablp to the hand is
more than enough to destroy the value
and wearing qualities OF good rubber
boots and shoes. When you warm
your feet before the fire or radiator
with your rubbers on. by the time you
feel the warmth the rubbers are usual
ly cooked to death.
Fifth.-Rubber tears easily. This is
true of cloth. paper and various other
things. but few goods besides rubber
have such great tensile strength and
yet will tear so easily after a rem is
once made.

Entertainina the Invalid.

To entertain an invalid make a scrap
far as follows: Get a smooth paste
board fan and cover the pictures or
advertising by pasting over the fan
smooth white paper. On one side then
paste as many clippings of funny anec-
dotes, stories or poems as you have
room for. On the other side paste
clippings of poetry that the invalid
may like to read often or possibly COM
NIT 10 memory. Try to select some of
her special favorites. This can be used
to while away many an hour when
the invalid is too weak to hold a book
or magazine without becoming tired.

Usina Hair Tonies.

The woman who is ordered to use a
tonic on her scalp must know how to
apply it or her hair will be in worse
condition than if none were used.
The ideal method is to have the tonic
rubbed In by a hairdresser. but as that
Is out of the question to most women
the next best thing is TO either n
small oil can. such as can be bought
for 10 cents, or a medicine dropper.
Put the tonic in either of these recep-
tacles. which are equally good to dis
tribute the liquid evenly on the scalp
without wetting the hair. Divide the
hair into strands and go W. each part
carefully before making a new diyi-
sion.
While the tonic is being applied with
one hand rub it in well with the finger
tips of the other hand.

CURLEY ULRICH GETS
EASTERN MATCHES

Superior Wis. May 25.-Curley Ul-
rich, superior's nifty little fighter. has
at last seen the light and will leave the
head Of the lakes tomorrow en- route
for the fast ones of the east. Matches
nave already been arranged for Curley
in Philadelphia and New York, and his
friends here expect him to make a bril-
liant showing.
Among the tough ones whom Curley
is to meet are Unk Russell and Harry
Lewis. Both have good regulations in
the ring and while they are not cham
pions they are close enough up to be
getting the money. Ulrich will flght
six-round battles before the Philadel-
phia clubs and as that is just his speed
there Is no reason why he should not
make good.
Curley's light has been hidden under
a bushel since coming to Superior from
Chicago four years ago. He has been
fighting good scraps around the head of
the lakes and in the northwest and
beating a lot of tough boys, but fights
in this part OF the country add but
little to the national reputation of a
man. II he makes good in the east
he will have his picture in the big pa
pers and be in great demand in the
near future.
George Gunther. the tough little col
ored fighter whom Curley brought to
Superior to fight Walter Whitehead,
is the man who secured the eastern en-
gagements for Ulrich. When Gunther
was here he trained for his fight with
Whitehead with Curley as his spas
ring partner and It was George who
put the invasion bee into the Ulrich
bonnet.
You're too good man to be stallinR
around in this neighborhood, said
Gunther. 'Ill get you some fights in
the east and you come with me to
Philadelphia"
Yesterday Curley received telegram
that 1t was all fixed and he answered
that he would come at once. He leaves
tomorrow night.

Gladiators Of Bare Knuckle
Days Were Extremely Popular

an early age to gain the championship
of England. to win the Derby and tc
become q member of parliament. Any
one of these SUBMITS was orduous to
attain, any two extremely difficult, the
three of them almost beyond human
power. Yet, John Gully accomplished
the feat.
Yet one time he seemed so far off re-
alizing his vow that at the age OF
twenty-one we find him in the Kings
Bench prison--the famous Marshalsea
for debt, and despondently specuIat-
ing whether he would ever get out
Gully was born at Wick. in Gloucester
shire but his father removed to Bristol
when he was still an infant The
father was a publican; John Gully, the
son, became successfully butcher, a
pugilist, a publican, member of par
lament and owner OF race horses in
cluding the derby winner, millionaire,
and a friend of progress"
The career of Molyneux. the black
who was really deprived of the heavy
weight championship of England by a
foul was romantic to a degree. He
arrived in London, and only knew one
man, Mr.. Pinckney, the American am
bassador, in whose service he once was
when he announced with grin that he
had come OF fight Tom Crib for the
championship of England. What Is
more, he had Cribb beaten in the twen-
ty- eighth round, and was then accused
OF having bullets in his fists. And
while a wrangle was going on, Cribb
sufficiently recovered to knock Molly
neux out.
1t was few years after the Molly
neux Cribb contest that Dan Dom
ely, the dashing, reckless Irishman
sprang into fame. Dan Donelly was
afterwards known in Ireland as Sir
Dan Donnelly, and 1t appears to be true
that he was knighted by the prince
regent in recognition of his courage.
After his death, his fame rase to leg
endary proportions and there is a ira
ditional story In Ireland of how he
could strike a man so hard as to be
able to knock a hole in his chest.
BY the way, some curious nicknames
have been bestowed upon boxers Of the
past. James Corbett for instance, was
known as Pompadour Jim and Gentle
iiloH Jam, UIt account VI HIS lAAHiaCuldae
appearance at all times. j. L. Sullivan
in his prime, was known as the Boston
Strong Boy, a sobriquet bestowed. upon
him for having on one occasion re-
placed on the rails tramcar that six
men had tried in vain to lift. The
Benica Boy was the nickname be-
slowed upon Meehan. on account OF
the fact that he had been blacksmith
at Benicit, In the west of America;
while "The Upton Slasher" was the
name bestowed upon Bill Perry. the
famous Upton prize fighter, who was
noted for his strength and slashing
blows.

DO SCORES ADD UP
ODD OR EVEN

A sporting writer in an eastern
exchange says:
The sporting department receiv-
ed the following telegram:
THE sum total runs made by
two opposing teams the percentage
will be in favor OF adding up even
more times than odd, answer col
lect quick. Will Heard"
First answer. Answer what?
Second answer. We are figuring.
Third answer We have figured
out what the question is
Fourth answer. The percentage
is even-just as many scores,
which totaled. are an odd number
as an even number. why not?
Fifth answer. Odds and odds
added make evens. Evens and
evens added make evens. Odds and
evens added make odds. The
chance seems two to one in favor
of evens. .
Sixth answer. Every other num-
ber is an odd number. Why
shouldn't every other total of
scores made in a game be odd?
Seventh answer. Odds and odds
make evens. Evens and evens make
evens. Odds and evens make odds,
and evens and odds make odds.
The percentage is the same. We
thought go at first (and seriously
speaking this is the right answer).
Eighth answer. A zero doesn't
count, so the total begins with one,
an add, which seems to indicate
there is just a shade in favor of
odds.
Ninth answer. We won't bet
anything on this.
Tenth answer. No, we haven't
anything to bet. So there! s..
