OF course you want to know what
these questions were The ones I re-
call were: Do you really believe that
DR.. Cook and Commander Peary reach
ed the pole? Would you like to be an
Eskimo? Do you like arctic food?
What will you say to DR.. Cook and
Commander Peary now that they are
home? The answers have forgotten,
but they were most amusing
| am right up in the line of discov-
cries nowadays and have unearthed in
the shops a most practical and time
saving little device in the shape of an
invention for running ribbon in lin
gerie. 1t costs only 10 cents and is
fiat little contrivance, one end of which
is finished with a fat tape, or Irvine.
When run through once the process
never has to be repeated, as the string
is drawn through the beading 10 stay
When a fresh ribbon is needed in
clean garment it is attached to the
clamped end and pulled through by
the string or Irvine.
If you dislike putting ribbon in lin
gerie as much as | do you will hail
with delight this simple but time and
money saving device. Try it and thank
yours devotedly, MABEL.

The Democrats swarm the ante

And much as they may declaim polti-

able evidence of the era of peac"
which the President is personifying in
his administration.
He has gotten upon especially friend
ly terms with the judiciary in and
about Washington. The Justices of
the Supreme Court. the judges of the
District of Columbia courts and the
Judges Of the Court of Claims have
nearly all been around to the White

as the new President is growing in
favor They are all developing like
big. brainy men and Washington is
irferring that the new President is
to prove himself a good Judge of his
fellow citizens. There is a great diff

The town is talking much about the
