AS WE FEEL

When somebody says a Hand me-
Down Suit is as good as one made
by expert tailors to YOUR INDIVID-
UAL MEASUREMENT
How is it possible for a suit that
has been made to the measurements
OF model and then manufactured by
thousands. to fit your figure? And, also
HOLD it's shape?
A garment must be cut to the figure
not pressed and drawn from it origi-
nal shape TO fit the figure.
A tailor-made suit will last twice as
long. look far superior and hold its
shape until the last.
It's the cheapest in the end.

Poisoned BY Honex,uekls.

One Of the most favorite and beauti-
full of our flowers is the common
honeysuckle, but It would seem to
have its dangers. The London Lancet
mentions a case occurring In the prac-
tice Of DR.. Engh of Volden. in which a
little boy two years old was poisoned
by its flowers.
The child. after being in the garden
playing with the flowers. became tired
and drowsy and then complained Of
thirst. Our contemporary describes
the symptoms that followed and adds
that the boy made good recovery
but was peevish and inert for some
days. Various kinds Of honeysuckle
have been used medicinaily as diuret-
les and diaphore!ics, and It is well
that It should be known that some Of
the varieties at all events are far
from harmless. The flowers appear to
be specially dangerous when freshly
picked.

Women and the STAGE.

David Belasco was in his best mood

Mr.. Belasco. in the course OF a

pings Of stage history. smiled and
said:
1T may be true. as some have
claimed, that immoral plays are due
to the immoral taste of woman. Yes.
that may be true; but. gentlemen. did
you ever watch at the theater an ell
derly. staid. perhaps somewhat unpre.
possessing wife. brooding over a hus
band a little younger than herself?
These wives. surely are no supporters
Of the immoral stage spectacle.
Such a wife sat in one of my thea.
ters during the production Of drama
The heroine, a beautiful girl, said at
a,dramatic moment:
"Merciful heavens, I am undone!

Housecleaning, especially when GER
tain simple precautions In carrying II
out are not observed, is not without its
obvious possibilities for evil, says the
Denver Field aud Farm. The cardinal
TACT connected with this procedure IL
that there must always be potentiali-
ties for evil lurking In dust and dirt
and a general housecleaning means the
removal Of these deposits, which usual
ly represent the sum Of a years ac-
emulation. II would be strange in
deed II this accumulation were free
from disease producing organisms and
1t never is. archaeological examina-
tions would be bound to reveal rich
garden Of pathogenic entities In the
household dust and dirt annually re-
moved in the spring cleaning process.
1t follows that only that method Of
spring cleaning can be approved which
secures the removal OF the dust and
dirt as against one which merely scat
tiers them. Spring cleaning, after all,
amounts to the application Of aseptic
principles to the dwelling house and
modern reflnements teach that unless
the process is well done 1t might a.
well be left undone. As n matter of
fact spring cleaning should be abolished
In favor Of regular conducted process
kept up all the year round, at compare
lively short intervals. This Is the
course pursued by many careful house,
wives and the public would do well to
| follow their example.

The New Oueensboro Bridge.
New York, June l2. l8

New York, June IL, 1909.
The fourth material link, including
the interborough tunnel between Man
haitian and Long Island, which were
without connection when the first
bridge across the East river was finish
ed, was opened today with imposing
ceremonies. A parade Of allegorical
floats and military and civic organiza-
ton marched across the bridge, while
a marine pagent proceeded up the East
river. The parades we're followed by
formal exercises in the Plaza in Long
Island City in which official represen-
tatives of the two boroughs took part.
Perhaps million persons witnessed
some portion Of the days programme.
The elaborately decorated bridge pre-
sented a beautiful picture as the big
procession of harbor craft moved up
and down the river. There were
throngs on roof tops, piers and streets
on both sides Of the river. The show
cost Father Knickerbocker $50, 900, but
it was pronounced worth the money.
The new bridge is the largest cant
lever structure used as a public thor
oughfare In the world. The length of
the bridge proper is 8,725 feet. The
The length Of the river span west of
the Blackwell's Island is 1882 feet,
and there are only three bridges with
longer spans In existance. Then comes
however, the length Of the river span
east of the island, 9s4 feet, and the
length of the island span, $50 feet.
The clear height Of the bridge above
meanhigh water Is 1876 feet.
Eight years were required to COM
plete the bridge. There are about
$1,000 cubic yards Of masonry in the
piers and foundations, while the steel
with the superstructure weighs approx
mately so, 1000 tons. The length of the
Manhattan approach Is 1857 feet, and
Of the Queens approach 1880 feet, maxi
ing the total length of the bridge in
Guiding the approaches, over 5000 feet.
In its present condition the bridge
does not provide the greatest capacity
Of which 1t is capable. AS designed
for its ultimate arrangement, it will
have four elevated railroad tracks on its
upper floor and two promenades eleven
feet wide. The lower floor is to con-
tain two outside trolley tracks, two in
side trolley tracks and roadway tbir-
ty-six feet wide. With car lines alone
it is estimated the bridge will have
capacity Of $50, ,OOo. 600 persons annually.

Grandma Johnson Passes AWAY.
cemetery

Early Tuesday morning, June Is,
1909, the spirit of Mrs. Mary johnson
took. its flight to the Better Land.
Mrs. johnson was taken suddenly Ill
about II o'clock last Friday morning.
Medical aid was summoned at once
and everything possible done that
health might be restored, and Sunday
morning she seemed to be somewhat
improved but was taken worse about
noon and passed away at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, aged IS years, l
month and 2 days.
Deceased was born at Roxwell, Cam
ada, May ls, 1881, and from there
moved with her parents to Rubicon,
Wisconsin, where at the age of Is years
she was married to Charles johnson.
From this union eight children were
born, five of whom survive their
mother, Ida Waldron, Nettie Tucker,
Sam Johnson. Ida Porter and Hattie
Porter, all Of whom were present at
her bedside during her illness.
She Joined the M. f. church in her
youth and was an active member of
the Dolores church as well as of the
Ladies Aid society at the time of her
death. AS most of her life was spent
on the frontier she often found 1t diff
cult to attend church and in her early
married life walked five miles to church
service. She moved with her husband
to Colorado in 1867, locating south of
Pueblo, and has been a continuous resi-
dent since that time. They moved from
Pine river to the Dolores in 1881, and
resided about four miles below Dolores
until the time of Mr.. Johnson's death,
three years ago, when she had cot
tage built at the corner Of Hillside ave-
nue. and Eighth street where she has
since resided.
Like most pioneer women, she was
thoughtful, kind and sympathetic and
was loved by all who knew her. In
the early days the Indians occasionally
caused trouble and at such times the
settlers in the surrounding country
would gather at the johnson home for
protection.
Besides the children mentioned there
are eighteen grand children, eighteen
great grand children and host of
friends to mourn her departure.
The funeral was held at l O'Clock
yesterday from the Baptist church.
Rev. Nuckolls of the Methodist church
conducted the services. The remains
were laid to rest in the family ceme-
terry on the johnson ranch.
The many beautiful floral offerings
spoke more eloquent than words of
the high esteem In which she was
held by her friends.
