that he will have to take Sulu belle
with hobble Of fig leaves about her
waist for sultana
The sultan used to have a hobby for
collecting wives. He had samples of
all the f1fty-seven or more varieties
of beauties that the 1872 islands over
which he rules produce. Sometimes
his agents would send him duplicates.
Then he would drop a line to some
other ruler and exchange the lady in
question for variety he didn't DOS
sess. But lately, he has found their
dressmaking bills too great a burden.
The Redferns of Jolo Kept him awake
nights worrying how to meet their
duns, so he decided to discard all but
one wife.
But the royal heart yearned for a
lighter helpmeet than the island af-
forded. He proposed to Miss Roose-
welt when she visited the Philippines
with the Taft party, but was given
the mitten. So he came to America.
thinking he would have better luck.
He might have secured wife il the
hobble skirt hadn't appeared.
After viewing the fashion parade in
New York, the sultan hurriedly fig
ured out on the back Of an old en-
velope that II he married a modern
American girl he would have to sell
three or four of his islands and mt
mortgage on the old homestead to
keep her In clothes. It was a stagger-
ing blow to his hopes. His dream had
faded and life now stretched before
him, bleak and desolate Hadji Mo-
manned Jamalul Hiram II now has
but one forlorn hope-that he can find
a girl who will promise to wear moth
ing more expensive or elaborate than
a modish gown of palm leaves, or,
better, single rose IN ha- hair.

THE NEW COUNCIL OF MONACO
Members Elect Each Other to a Good
Thing and the Political Boss 10
Unknown.

Paris.-A few Americans who hap.
pened to be visiting the principally Of
Monaco at the time when it was strug-
Cling with it's first elections had an
exceptional opportunity to enjoy them
selves.
Some months ago Monaco suddenly
woke up one morning with thirst
for parliamentary government and
marched upon the princes palace. A
revolution was averted by the prince
consenting to receive a deputation, to
whom he said: IF you want to elect
each other to something, by all means
do So" or words to that effect
The Monegasques accordingly elect
ed each other to body which they
called the communal council, after 60
ing through all the proper formalities

If shouting and spellbinding. The body
electorate at once split up into four
distinct parties, the real Monegasques,
the true Monegasques, the Monaco pa
triots and the Progressive National
lists of Monaco. The last-named party
came out at the top of the polls and
holds the majority in the communal
council
The prince has granted the council
supplies amounting to 100000 year.
The question before the council, i'm
probable as it may seem, is what to
do with the money. Every public ex-
penditure is covered already several
times over by the profits of the
Monte Carlo gambling tables. The
councils budget, therefore, will work
out something like this: Annual rev
enue, 100000; expenditure, nil
The day of the political boss has
not yet dawned In Monaco, but 1t will
probably come, and then there may
be some modification in the unique

To Aid chlcaao's Blind.

Chicago-There is a little whistle
in use In Chicago which is as effective
in making way through the crush at
the street corners as that employed
by the members of the trah1c squad.
The privilege Of using 1t is a recent
one extended to the blind persons Of
the city as the result of the efforts
of an organization which is devoted to
their interests.
The police department, in granting
1t, stipulated that the signal whistles
should have a tone which would dis
tinguish them readily from those used
by the men Of the traffic squad. At
the sound Of the flute-like signal the
officer at busy corner leaves his
post and goes to the curb to assist
the blind person. or perhaps two or
three, to Cross the street.

the Jolo group of islands. Prior to
that the sultan was the ruler OF the
Jolo archipelago, consisting OF 1S2
islands and inhabited by $4,000 peo-
pie, all Mohammedans and many OF
them slaves. But his sovereignty was
taken from him by the United States
and instead Of his usual revenues he
was given a pension Of $1,000. His
slaves also were set free, slavery hav-
ing been abolished in the islands, and
he was given to understand that dur
ing good behavior his treatment by
the United States would be kind and
Just. Since then the sultan has sup
ported the authority of the United
States and has discouraged the max

The sultan was accompanied by his
brother, Dato Raja WASH, and several
other persons and after a brief stay in

HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS
MANY BITS OF WORK WOMAN
CAN DO At HOME.
Veriest Tyro Can Patch Mahogany
Veneer If She Would Work Heed
fuily-Upholstery BY No
Means Difficult.

There are many small bits of re-
pairing that woman may do among
her household goods when she wishes
to freshen home for the winter Up
holstery is by no means difficult, save
where "tufting" Is wished; covering
desks requires care rather than prac-
tice, and the veriest tyro can patch
mahogany veneer If she will but work
heedfully.
Upholstered chairs and even sofas
that have wooden frames need have
no terror for her who would recover
them. If the old cover is removed
SO that it is not torn it becomes a
perfect pattern from which the new
may be cut. One must remember.
with the new, that the thread shall
run the right way, and always in a
straight line, and when necessary to
piece it, the pattern, II there is one,
must be made to match perfectly.
Stitching to be firm enough to wear
well is to be done on a machine, and
the seam heavily and smoothly
pressed open. It is always better to
use wide material, when the stuff is
equally satisfactory in effect, for then
an amateur obviates mary seams and
consequent extra labor
II the material Is such that the
edge will not turn under neatly and
smoothly gimp may be made to cover
q multitude of sins in that direction
and there will be no difficulty in put
ting In brass-headed tacks evenly IL
tape measure is pinned along the
edge and the tacks put at regular in
tervals. If new springs or actual re-
pairing of the inner structure of
chair is needed this must be done by
professional. but the furniture may
then be returned for the owner to
put on the covering.
Cloth or velvet to be put without
wrinkles on fiat-top desks may be ap-
preached without fear. The desk sur
face is first to be made smooth. The
old cover Is torn off and the wood
scraped and rubbed with coarse sand
paper until none of the old stuff re-
mains. Then the wood is washed
scrubbed, if necessary. The object
of all this is to have clean and
clear surface, without which the new
cover will not be success.
fhe dampness thus put into the
wood serves to make the coat Of
glue. which is next put on, penetrate
deeper. The glue must be as stiff
as will spread, otherwise it would
soak through the material, stiffening
1t. Yet this consistency would be too
dry to adhere properly to the wood
we're it not that the dampness aids.
A fiat brush Is used for putting on
the glue, and one-half of the VOID
surface is smoothly painted The
material then is put over, rubbing it
DOWN smoothly with a fiat piece of
board, which will press out all
wrinkles. An amateur will then do
better to fold back the rest of the
material and wait until that which is
pressed down has dried in place. This
will take three or four hours. Then
the other half Of the desk top Is paint
ed with glue and the material pulled
and stretched over. cutting IT. finally

Health and Hymen

AS Damon approached, suitcase in

ehugging restlessly by the curb
bounced eagerly down from his seat
and relieved the youth Of his lug

the commercial man, and leaned hap

IN TABLOID FORM

Maverick presents to its readers
in this issue a condensed report Of
the Presidents message to Congress.
in which all the salient features are
covered in such manner that the
busy man may gain an idea Of what
the President advocates.
1t has been estimated that less
than two per cent of the people Of
the country read in full. the annual
messages of the executive; and this
may be attributed to the fact that
such message usually contain from
10000 to 10000 words. So it is no
wonder that, with the best inten-
tions in the world, the average man
will become weary before he has read
even a scant one-third of the docu-
ment.
These messages should really be
made much shorter, but it has come
to be "A recognized custom that the
President shall review conditions
very completely, and go thoroughly
into proposed legislation. Consequent
ly. ideas and suggestions are usu-
ally surrounded with such a mass Of
words that, to many. the recommend
ations are unintelligible

one should read the message and

rotary Ballinger has been presented
to Congress. and. as was anticipated.
the matter has been treated in a par
tisan manner The majority of the
committee found in favor of the se,-
rotary, as the evidence presented full
~ justiied' but the minority on the
committee could not resist the oppor-
tunity to play politics, even if in so
doing the honor and reputation of
a public official should be unjustly
stigmatized
Therefore, the Ballinger contro-
versy remains in the same condition
as it was prior to the investigation.
The Secretary has been vindicated
by the republicans. as he had been
in the mind of every fair American
citizen, while he has been condemn
ed by the democrats and insurgents.
for purely political purposes.
An effort will unquestionably be
made by the democrats to have the
majority report rejected by congress.
It win present an opportunity for
democratic speech-malxing which that
party will not overlook in its desire
to manufacture campaign material
for the next presidential election
There is little probability. however.
that the report will be rejected at
the present session Of congress. and
the matter will be closed incident.

DOES THIS CONTRIBUTE?

All sorts Of reasons have been ad-
vanced for the high cost of living.
or the cost of living high. which ev-
er way one may choose to look at
the matter but up to this time. one
great contributing factor has been
overlooked by the economists and
theorists.
The factor is the easy method Of
obtaining credit. 1t is true that cred
it is the basis of all business trans
actions, and without it there would
be no confidence consequently no
growth.
The national government. the
states and the municipalities do bus
ihess on credit 1t is the basic form
of negotiations between the nations
of the world, and. as stated. without
credit business would become stag
mated.
But credit as it relates to the in
dividual, has become a greatly abused
institution. Through it. many are led
to over-reach themselves. The fact
that luxuries are so easily obtainable
on the credit system tends to make
the people buy things which they
could easily do without, and which
they would not buy if they had to pay
cash at the time Of purchase. They
live in the present and seemingly
forget that there must be a day Of
reckoning.
The magazines and newspapers are
