HOMETAIKS

Every mother knows the problem she
has on her hands OF finding amusement
for a houseful Of children on a rainy
day One mother solved it most salts
factorily this summer by holding a pic
mic in the cellar
She didn't intend to have a picnic IN
the cellar. The picnic had been planned
for the woods. about u mile distant from
the home The day before had been
spent IN preparing for Il. Sandwiches.
cakes. deviled eggs. pies-everything that
goes 10 make a picnic lunch a success
had been prepared IN quantity, for there
were seven children in the home, two visi-
tors. and the father Of the flock to be pro-
vided for.
Then it ralned A vail went up from
the nine young people and a silent wall
from the mother at the prospect Of enter
tanning the disappointed crowd in the
house. Then she thought OF the cellar.
Hold the picnic in the cellar" she pro-
posed.
The idea was received with glee. The
very novelty OF Il filed the young people
with delight. To the cellar they went,
with the lunch baskets and the father,
and they never came out Of that cellar,
except for water, for the entire day.
The cellar has a cement floor. and in
the center stood a heater. In one corner
was a discarded express wagon. also a
wheel. the relic Of some wagon Of the
past. The father took this wheel marked
numbers on the floor OF the cellar, in
The Washington herald., 1910-09-06

geniously arranged an arrow, and thus
made an indicator. All took turns in
spinning tho indicator, and the number
to which the arrow pointed meant so
many trips around the heater IN the ex-
press wagon.
The mother fed TO the third story OF
the house, for the cesseless rumble Of
the wheels of the express wagon on the
cement Of the cellar floor was maddening.
But the young folks had a hilarious day.
and in the end IL was not so hard on
her as if they had romped through the
house or been g.ouchy about the weather.
Not only in the summer time, but in
the winter time, II houseroom is cramped,
and the cellar dry and warm, it might be
turned into an occasional playground for
the children. No carpets are there TO
be spoiled. or furniture to be scratched
or broken. They can enjoy there games
not possible in other parts Of the house.
and il they do get dirty. soap and water
are abundant and cheap.
1t may not. of course, be the playground
mother would choose But with a
large family and a small house. many a
mother has TO endure things not to her
liking. The children are safe IN the eel
lar and they can do little damage. and
these are two conditions that count for
much. 1t is little doubt that the
children will enjoy It. especially II the
mother predisposes them in its favor by
painting in glowing terms what fun they
can haze.

ford Pinchot have been here. but came so
late that their influence on the primary

can discover doubts that the primaries
win be carried overwhelmingly by the

current Of suspicion that the legislature

There are Democratic tories here in Wis
consin precisely as there are Republican
standpatters. In to-morrow's primaries
there will be quite rs many Democrats
proportionally to the voting strength Of
that party-voting for La Toilette as
there will be Republicans. That may
sound curious. but It Is true. But It IS
feared that in the legislature the reac-
tionary Democrats will join with the
"stalwart'' Republicans to defeat the man
who to-day is the one great national
figure in the State Of Wisconsin.
Milwaukee Press Against Him.
The bitterness Of the fight on La Fol-

one outside the State. In the historic
old Milwaukee Sentinel. a paper that
every journalist remembers for it's long
existence and its unfailing Republican
ism, / noticed the other morning a car
toon showing La Toilette sneaking into
hiding under a bed. with Taft sneering
at him for cowardice. The leading edl-
torial in the paper was a savage attack
on the Senator. The same tone is OBJ

provisions Of law remain on the statute
books. A Democrat cannot have his
name placed on the primary ticket unless
there was a Democratic governor voted
for the the preceding general election II
the Democrats fail TO receive the twenty
per cent they will have no Democratic
candidate at this election. and conse-
quently no Democrat can appear as can
dIdate, either IN future primary ballots
or as a Democrat on the official ballot
at any subsequent general election"
This, of course, is a serious situation,
and il is almost incredible that the mi
nority party voters in the State should
so little appreciate how serious it is.
It is quite possible that if Democratic
voters at the primaries shall vote for
La Toilette it may become impossible for
them to have the name Of their candi-
date for governor on the ticket this year
or their candidate for mayor of Milwau-
kee on the ticket when the next munic-
ipaI election shall be held.
La FOmette's Power.
The strength Of La Toilette is strikingly
shown by the fact that every news
paper in Milwaukee has been carry
ing a display "ad" Of quarter page de-
clarlng that the Senator has not commat-
ted himself to any Republican candidate
for governor. Nobody signs this adver-
tisement. Nobody except the professional
investigator Of political conditions could
guess who it is that IS paying the several
hundred dollars for securing publicity for
the mere fact that La Toilette is not
backing any candidate for governor. OF
course. one might gather from the head
line, Senator La Toilette Is not support
ing Lewis or McGOverr' the impression
that the advertisement was inserted by
the only other candidate, Mr.. E. T. Fair
child. Perhaps It was. Mr.. Fairchild's
political manager denies It. But TO the
country at large the signihcance OF the
advertisement is that Il indicates that In
Wisconsin any candidate for governor
feels It necessary 70 anAobnce that Sena-
tor La Toilette is not supporting either of
his adversaries.

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example of Scottish Aunor in
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on &C
count of slight mishap mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.

ing the desired information, yen be

there, sir, if it's as bad as a that?'

visitors words.

UNIQUE DECISIONS IN GOLF
ST. Andrews Body Rules Ball Must
Be Played on Where It Lays
Query and Answer.

Local golfers are having a few
chuckles over a decision recently
made by the rules committee of the
St. Andrews body that sets itself up
as the oracle of golf rulings.
IL brief, if your ball lands in the
turned-up portion Of your trousers or
in the rim of your hat, you must play
it as it lies, says the Chicago Evening
Post. But If the ball were to fall
into the caddy bag when you endeav-
ored to drop it on the fair green, you
may take it out and redrop it!
The st. Andrews decision, together
with the query about a dropped ball
going into play, that prompted the
Scotch club to make the ruling, fol-
lows:
Huntley Hill Golf Club-1) Pursu-
ant to a local rule. A lifted his ball
dropping it over his shoulder; the ball
fell into his golf bag, which was
swung over his shoulder. Was A en-
titled to redrop without penalty, or
should he have played the ball from
out of the bag. or given up the hole?

treated as lodging in anything nov

ference in principle between a ball

and a ball dropping into golf bag

Many former coffee drinkers who

Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:

ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
eft, hid kidney trouble and constipa-
tion.
1.-THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then l became less respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof Of renewed physical and
mental strength.
