THE CHILDREN's ROOM
II May BE Simple, But should Be the
Most Pleasant Room In the House

From the Detroit News-Tribune.
The children's room should be a pretty
one. if every other room In the house
has to be sacrificed to make 1t so.
If child grows up with an unconquer-
able taste for cheap bric-a-brac and a
disjointed sense of beauty, 1t is nearly
always because during the most telling
years of his life he has looked upon UNI
beautiful things. But 1t is not so difficult
to make a nursery charming room In
fact, It is almost easier than to make
it a hdeous one. 1t must have air and
light, first and foremost. which In hats
especially is often harder in the chill
drens room. But given air and light, 1t
must next have space. And here the
process of elimination comes In and the
room is emptied of all save the necessary
furniture.
The wall paper Of the nursery is some
thing to conjure in the Imagination,
either pale yellow, pink or delicate
blue. There may or may not be frieze
of children playing In the out-of-deors,
or of castles and drawbridges. This Is
a charming addition, but 1t is aside from
the general plan of a nursery which is
TO be furnished on next to nothing. The
woodwork Is most emphatically painted
white and SO are the few chairs. the
tables and book shelves. The plainest
deal table and kitchen chair may be
glorified by a coat OF white senamel paint.
SO are the little iron beds white and in

The advocates of a big navy are wor
ried somewhat because of the coming
shake-up OF the Senate committee on ma
val affairs. They say that IL Senator
Perkins, the present chairman, should
insist on the Craftsmanship of appropria-
tons. which he would be entitled to in
view of the fact that Senator Hale, the
present chairman. retires from the Sem
ate next March, 1t would deprive the
naval committee OF valuable man. The
california senator is friend of the navy
ard as chairman of that committee he
exercises a large influence In the Sem
ate But as the appropriations commit
tee Is one OF commanding power, it is
rot improbable that Senator Perkins will
be willing to exchange chairmanships.
Senator Hale was always conservative
when it came to building battleships, and
now that he will soon retire from the
Senate the friends of the navy look for
ward TO less opposition to additions to
increasing our war fleets. OF course, Sen
stor Perkins can be counted on to help
the cause, but with a new makeup of
the naval committee 1t will not be easy
sailing for the naval programme in the
upper house OF Congress.
Now that the democrats have captured

The question is now being asked who

Endorsements
STORY ON GEN. BUTLER
Old Carpetbag Case From New Orleans
Argued in Washington Brought
Out Many Interesting
"Reminiscences
BY SIDNEY ESPEY

Washington. November 1s.-Cspecial)-
The practice of postrlasters obligatingly
complying with requests from patrons and
others for letters OF Endorsements, tes-
timonies and guarantees as to honesty
and reliability. etc. has become SO preva-
lent that 1t has finally attracted the at
tention of the postoffice department,
with the result that the department has
advised postmasters that they must not
sign such papers or statements in their
official capacities.
Inquiry of postoffice department off
Gals brought 10 light the fact that a
medicine, a stomach 'bitters," or some
such tonic by postmasters is the best
kind of a drawing card" and is worth
money in the way OF promoting the sale
of such indorsed articles. Not only man
ufactures of patent medicine seek these
Endorsements. but the fellows with the
get-rich-quick, out OF valuable lands and
oil well shares and other tempting spec
ulation schemes make practice OF play
ing for the local postmaster's Endorsement
and testimonial.
According to statement made by an
employee of the postoffice. many COM
plants have been received from victims
of sehemers who promised all kinds of
wealth that would follow the possession
of a few shares in the "never-dry-up
oil WE'LL or the possession OF a few
acres of rich. yielding land. The VIC
tins in their letters said they were In
duced to buy the stock, or shares by the

masters

office department TO the postmaster that
it may be difficult TO refuse Endorsements

yet the effect, it Is believed. will be the
same. Unless such Endorsement of the
only stomach bitters guaranteed to cure"
carries with 1t the official capacity of

and not worth dozen bottles OF the bit

he returned on the Inflated ship Yu-

We had quite an exciting time
coming down; that is-it might have
been exceedingly so under slightly
inherent circumstances. We were on
board the Yucatan which was wrecked
IN Icy Straits. We hit a cake of ice
which was sufficient to punch a large
sized hole in the boat. She began to

and full speed ahead was the order.
The first beach we came to was filled
so far out with ice that the boat must
have sunk in deep water II run in
there. SO we swung around and made
cove a mile or SO beyong.
Toward the end of the run the
boat was getting pretty low in the
water and when we passed over reef
couple of hundred yards from shore.
there must have been several more
chunks of bottom knocked out for she
started down fast. We just broke even
on the beach. The boat was very low
in the water; the fires were out and
the steam gone. We camped on the
beach two days and nights before we
were taken of. We were taken to

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND.


Divorce may be good or bad in it.

class and bad for another. AS things
stand now in England, it is the luxury
of the well-to-do. and it practically
impossible for the husband or wife
without at least fair means to obtain
it. no matter how great the provoca-
ton may have been. Practically the
pair are driven back to what can only
be described as the hating expedient
Of separation by a magistrate, which
is indeed cheap enough, but, in most
cases, also unsatisfactory.
Moreover, it is not only the very
poor who suffer. There are many
persons who hold certain position,
but who cannot afford the enormous
expenses Of the divorce court, and are
yet debarred by the fact that they do
not come within the sphere. of what
is commonly called the working class,
from obtaining even separation or
der from a magistrate.
Obviously the law, both as regards
divorce and separation, ought to be
within the reach of all classes. To
make 1t so, however, certain amount
of expenditure must be incurred by
the state. for the only practical sug.
gestion which has yet been made II

Mr.. Hellstrom is warden of the

Manila hemp. The distance from Sc
attic to Bismarck is LAOS miles; to
Chicago. through Bismarck, 1876.
Hemp from the Philippines is brought

of we:er transportation to both the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboadrs. As
Chicago is something les sthan 1000
miles from the Atlantic seaboard and
over 1000 miles from the Pacific and
ii is evident that the Northern Pacific
must make lower rate per ton mile
on shipments to Saltwater and Chica-
go from the Pacific than lines leading
to Chicago from the Atlantic and gulf

Pacific in naming rate from the Pa
