TOO MUCH ECONOMY
GOOD HABIT CAN BE CARRIED TO
EXTREMES.
Housewife VIII Do Well TO Guard
Against PenurIousness, In Which
There Can Be No Pos
sible Saving.

The housewife who is so conscien-
tiously and rigidly economical that
she is always bounded and surround.
ed by reversible silk skirts that should
be thrown in the rag bag, or frazzled
centerpieces that could be cut up into
doilies, or lawn scraps that might be
turned into handkerchlefs, should take
a whole day off and learn that every
excess is a defect" and extremes
weaken"
Sometimes such painful and tedious
economies are necessary. Often they
are not. Once in a while they are
ridiculous, At times It happens that
they even cause misery. Perhaps you
remember with what pangs of wound
ed pride you went to school in the
metamorphosed dress OF your elder
sister Perhaps you read about the
girl who came back from boarding
school and straightway rejected her
young country lover because his eco
nomical mother had put tucks in his
trousers to provide against his rapid
growth. Anyhow, there are two kinds
OF economies and the kind that will
monopolize your time from sunrise to
moonrise and keep you humping for
ward threading needles or flashing
crochet hooks. and maybe make some
body sour at that, especially when
that willing old second. hand man Of
fers to relieve you of all the non
essential dry goods, woodward and
ironwaye for cash, it is for you to
watch out that the COLLINS of regret
and disgust don't get you.
Foolish Habit to Acquire.
Unless it is a case OF have to" the
tendency always to create something
new ont of something old is not so
commendable in modern housekeep-
ing as some might think, and for the
following reasons:
In the first place most OF us claim
that modern dry goods has not the
durability 1t was known to have so
years ago: Therefore Il doesn't al
ways pay to make over something old,
since much OF the wear IL gone Then
there Is always some doubt as to the
f1t or presentability of a made-over
thing, and the market fer all kinds OF
discards. including furniture as we'll
as clothes, being always open. It is
generally easy to dispose OF things
that are In the way.
Besides, the housewife who wishes
to be- classed as up 10 date" must
grant herself sufficient leisure 10 neu.
tralize the domestic strain with social
or intellectual felicities so a few Of
those iaborious economies must bo
cut out.
Here are some SAMPLES Of erring
economies that Increase the burden
of daily homework: 4 mother with
four children and an excellent income

a little rattered on one shoulder and

only a few minutes, she could easily

and Calmness of Men.

n representative of the Kobe
Herald succeeded in interview
ing Admiral ROjestvensky just be-
fore he sailed from VladivostOk on
the transport VorOni accompanied
by nearly $500 liberated prisoners
of war.
The wound which the admiral

Japan has not yet healed, and he
still wears a surgical dressing
around his forehead.
The admiral in his interview as.
serts that Japan won the victory
entirely by her guns and the calm
mathematical precision of the
men behind the guns. The cOnclu.
sion the admiral has come to as a
result of his studies and Observa-
tons relative to the battle of the

of the future will carry nothing
smaller than three-inch guns

their usefulness as a get-rich-quick

mythical gold mines to their victims

SENAT()ROR
PREES|[)EEN :?
FORMER GOVERNOR FOLK OF
MISSOURI is UNDECIDED AS
TO WHICH SITUATION HE WILL
TRY AND SECURE.
tHerald Special }

st. Louis, Mo-, June 1.-The politi
cal situation in Missouri is already
very interesting, but it promises to
be much more so after the banquet
here tomorrow night at which former
Governor Joseph W. Folk is expected
to announce definitely whether he
will be a candidate for the United
States senate, or whether he will re-
serve his strength for the race for the
democratic presidential nomination in
1872 The banquet will be held under
the auspices of the Missouri Demo-
cratic League, the Folk organization
formed at the harmony meeting at
Kansas City last January, and will be
attended by many democratic leaders
from various parts of the state.
The closest political associates of
Mr.. Folk are of the opinion that he
will make the race for the senator
ship. This opinion is based largely on
the belief that should Governor Har-
mon of Ohio be reelected this year he
is bound to take precedence over all
other possibilities now mentioned for
the head of the democratic national
ticket two years hence
On the other hand, the chances of
electing a democratic senator to sue
coed Senator Warner, republican, are
regarded as very bright by the demo-
cratic leaders in Missouri. Should for
mer Governor Folk enter the race the
contest for the senatorship will prob
ably develop into one of the ilveliest
political fights Missouri has seen in
many years. Ex-Governor David r.
Francis has already announced his
candidacy for the democratic nomina-
ton to succeed Senator Warner, as
have also James A Reed, former
mayor Of Kansas City, and Sterling P.
Bond of st. Louis. On the republican |
side Senator Warner will be opposed |
for reelection by Governor Hadley |

Political Wiseacres
All are Guessing
Greatest Interest Centers In Z. s,

The approach of the legislative ses-
sion at Augusta has the political wise
acres guessing all over the State.
Some of the Republican prophets have
been bold to predict great discord
among the victorious clans, but as yet
there is little TO indicate 1t. Fact Is
that the leading Democrats of Kenne-
bee county have one of the smooth
est working teams ever put into the
field.

Johnson talks very confidently of Ga
votes from the house on the first bal
lot, with more to follow after the
"favorite sons" have been properly
advertised. Among the several deals
mentioned is one whereby the secre-
taryship of State is to go to City Mar
shall Fred b. Wiggin of Saco in re-
turn for the votes Of York county.
When the manipulators set out to
trada off the speakership over the
head Of John c. Scates of Westbrook
they struck something like a snag
Pennell bounded into the ring with a
growl, but his bark is generally re-

fgain it may not. But with a fair
prospect of second senatorship be-
fore long, a little maneuvering for
position is to be taken as matter of

With the pie" all carved and dis
