which was given some degree of inter
est by the fact that royalty would be
the center thereof. Mrs. Newlywed
was just dying to see royalty; Mr..
Newlywed promised that his bride
should see all the royalty that was TO
be visible on the afternoon in ques-
ton. He asked Secretary White to see
about securing admission cards. The
request might have been fulfilled by
the slightest hint from the legation
secretary to the proper official. But
Mr.. White was not in that mood.
On the morning of the day for the
function Secretary White sent the fol-
lowing little note to Mr.. Newlywed:.
Il am sorry to inform you that I
was unable to accomplish what you
asked. The affair is very exclusive.
The number of invitations is limited
and they have been ordered sent only
to persons of importance and distinc-
ton. i inclose. however, tickets to the

He isn't a man who gets up on the

VALUE OF THE HUMBLE HEN.
Figures Make One Think Bddy Has
Not Been Properly Appreciated.

The hens admirers grow. Constant
is their increase. The first official act
OF Nebraska's new labor commissioner
was a formal appreciation Of this
pillar of society. According to Mr..
Maupin, this fowl brought $lS,000.0 900
worth of eggs to market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner is unpre-
pared to estimate the value of her Off
spring in the way of fried chicken.
She laid 1,2O0,00O,O0O eggs in 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
10000 miles. They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham
they would furnish breakfast for 600.-
100000 people and make an omelet
containing $4,000 cubic feet. The hen
was worth more to Nebraska than the
boosted wheat crop of $26,000.000; al
most twice as much as the oat crop of
$16.000.000: 20 times as much as the
barley crop; 20 times as much as the
rye crop. and one-third as much as the
much-talked-of crop of corn. The COM

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten. the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble. every
HORSEPOWER should know in n general
way, when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing book of color schemes, specifi-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials, with
directions for using 1t, can be had

Enormous Increase in Legislation

last decade the increase has been as
tonishing.
During the first and second SEES.
sions of the Fifty-fifth congress 1,473
bills were passed by the house and
senate and 'messaged' to the president.
In the third session of the same con
gress GA measures were enacted into
laws. In the Fffty-sixth congress, 1862
measures were passed; in the Fifty
seventh. 2,7S1; in the Fifty-eighth. A.
041; in the Fffty-ninth, 6,94O, and in
the Sixtieth, the congress which
ended on March 4, the number of bills
enacted into law reached the great
total of 9.711."

ried to the White House all of these
bills, not one of which was ever lost

No other medicine for wOman's ills

For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak

periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
