Rinq of Chinese "crafters."

Prince Ching, head of the foreign
department of the Chinese govern
ment, is pictured as an eminent orr
entail CRATER by the Peking CORE
spondent of the London Times, who
writes: Since the downfall Of Yuan
Shih-kai the Wai-wu-pu foreign Of
fice) mas relapsed into its former state
of incapacity, and for this Prince
Ching is to blame. Amiable but cor
rupt, he has stood for a generation for
all that is worst in Chinese official
dom. All stories of his rapacity, his
greed, his INSCRIPTIONS sales of Office,
his Indifference to the affairs of state.
His wealth is enormous, yet no gen
erous or charitable action has ever
been recorded in his favor. Every new
minister in every office of emolument
has to pay him toll"

"Filthy Lucre."

The expression filthy lucre" is of
Biblical origin. and is to be found in
the third chapter of the first book of
Timothy, where the qualifications nee
essary for the office of a bishop
are thus set forth: This is a true
saying. If a man desireth the Of
fee of bishop, he desireth a good
work. A bishop must then be blame
less, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behavior, given to hos
pitality, apt to teach; not given to
wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; but patient, not brawler not
covetous."

PAINT FAULTS.

1t is a common occurrence nova
days to hear man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the key bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you a lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
tons, ETC., upon request.

FAVORED DOGS in GERMANY
0achshund Is the Most Popular Varl-
ETY., the English Bulldog Be-
ing Second Choice.

The dachshund is the favorite dog
in Germany, and a very useful and
pleasant companion he seems to be.
The English bulldog is a good second
in popularity, and the nearer he is to
cur standard points the better he is
liked. The fox terrier varies a good
deal in size and marking and is evil

their little Poms and their King

harnessed to four wheeled trucks.
Usually a man and dog pull. The
work seemed too heavy and exhaust
ing for the dogs, which are generally

IDEA FOR FLOWER LUNCHEON
Definite Color Scheme, Strictly Ad-
hered to, Is Perhaps the
First Requisite.

Flower luncheons are in order now
and a wealth of bloom is easily OBJ
tainable as decorations for the table
and the rooms. Wild flowers from the
woods may be had for the plucking
and the simplest of these wild BIOS
SONS will be surprisingly beautiful II
care is used in their arrangement. y A
definite color scheme must be decided
upon and everything must be in har-
mony with it-even to the color of the
dishes in which the luncheon Is
served. For example, one can give
what may be called daffodil lunch
con. Use a table cover of yellow sat
cen in daffodil tint, with a center
piece and border of lace. The flow
ers themselves should be placed on
the table in tall vase and the china
used should be gilt-edged, or even
plain white. The napkins may be
folded in the form of cones and filed
with a small bunch of daffodils.
If your dining room is green COM
bination of white and yellow, or pink,
is suitable, while ferns or anything
green may be depended upon to har-
monte with any floral colors Place
cards should be of water-color paper
decorated with the flower one has
chosen as the color scheme. The
flowers for the places may be of diff
ferent kinds, provided they harmon
ize with the general color scheme. 1t
is frequently advisable to make this
choice according to the individual
floral preference of each guest II
you happen to know them. At this
season of the year there is nothing
more appetizing than fower-deco-
rated table, and a profusion of them
will secure the success Of your lunch

rho New autumn suIt.

Wise buyers always wait until the
last moment before selecting either
material or model for their suit, for
autumn usually sees some distinct
difference in cut and trimming. II the
first suit of the winter is carefully
and thoughtfully chosen it is probable
that it will remain in excellent style
throughout the season.
There are rumors that velvet will
be a favorite material for winter, and
that means that corduroy and vel.
veteen will both be much worn. AS
to color, the wise ones predict a
great rush for green.

rhev pIdn,t Have to chanae.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.

all demands in the way it packs

and the large size family package;

As St. Louis Lawyers Talk.

Circuit Judge Reynolds had an
nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv-
ing, and a dozen American citizens
crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their excuses were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the Bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And So it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end
forward.

can as claimant for welther weight
championship honors. Quill showed his
class here last night when he trimmed
Jimmy Gardner in twelve furious rounds.
Quill got only a draw from the referee,
but that was not his fault lie earned
a win. In only one round. the nth, did
Gardner have a lead and this by reason
of his two knock downs of Quill In the
first round honors were even. but in the
remaining ten rounds Quill won beyond
question Some of those advantages were
only slight but Quill scored them by bet
ter all round work.
In the final round Quill went after
his man and drove him around the ring.
Gardner backed away and was looking
for an opening but Quill had his hands
high and prevented the wallops 10 the
face. Near the end OF the round Gard
ner was wobbly and the bell was the
best thing he heard all last night.
