 The subject was treated under the following heads: CD Gradation of Problems; @ Frequent Reviews; (3) Variety of Problems.
 Rapidity and accuracy require thorough mastery of the four funda- mental principles of arithmetic" de- lclared the speaker, and further, that Ia frequent and careful drill in the tables is absolutely essential to a complete mastery of these"
 She illustrated by suitable exam pies the several methods of addition, placing great stress on both the result methods, and the group or the reading method.
 No department of arithmetic is more interesting and productive of accurate thinking than Denominate Number if made practical.
 Here the leader introduced free-
  hand drawings as a means of clear ing the mental vision when the child 1 is in doubt as to what operation to perform, thus showing the necessity of having pupils derive rules from solutions, rather than apply rules to solutions.

Fair Advertising Paid.

Col. I. M. Dunn, the secretary of the Danville, Ky, fair, is thoroughly con- ivinced of the value of country news paper advertising He advertised the fair this year in no other way; cut all posters, bills and other ways which lcoat much but give little results and confined himself exclusively to the newspapers.
 The result, Colonel Dunn says, is that the Danville fair made money this year, the first time in many years. He says he will use nothing but tho country press in the future and ad- yises others seeking profitable adver- Using to do likewise.

Are All the Children In?

The darkness falls; the wind is high
Dense black clouds fill the western sky
The storm will soon begin.
The thunders roar; the lightnings
flash;
hear the great round raindrops
dash
Are all the children in?
They're coming softly to my side;
Their forms within my arms I hide
No other arms are sure.
The storm may rage with fury wild;
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near
They'll go from this warm shelter
here,
Out in the worlds wild din.
The rain Will fall, the old winds blow
I'll sit alone and long to know,
Are all the children in?
God knows it all; His will is best;
I'll shield them now, and leave the
In His most righteous hand.
Sometimes souls He loves are riven
BY tempests wild, and thus are driven
Nearer the better land.

among the twenty brightest stars.
A very satisfactory house dress is
one having seven or nine gored
skirt attached to the waist under a
straight belt. The waist may be
plain with yoke in the back, or a
pleat over the shoulder front and
back. A straight hemmed piece may
serve as a collar and always looks we'll

sleeves should be short enough to be
out of the way, and also the skirt. 1t

on for kitchen wear. Every woman
feels more self-respecting when prop
erly attired for work than wien she
knows she looks nntidy. If she ism t

would be an act Of charity to tell her,
even at the risk of raising her anger
or starting he1 tears. Ii one can
have but few gowns they should be of
nice material as the purse will allow.
A good lawn is better than cheap

than inferior grade of broadcloth.
One should plan to make their wear

on which they are apt to be worn.
Each woman has to determine that ac-
cording to her own environment. An
deliberately trimmed dress is alright
for social gatherings, but is wholly
out of place at divine services, shop

TED FARRELL SURPRISED

Last Tuesday evening being the goth anniversary of the birth of Mir. Theodore Farrell, his wife planned a delightful little card party IS a surprise to her liege lord.
 The guests assembled at the Far rell home. corner Of Wisconsin and Illinois str eis, Garden Island, short ly after o'clock, and as all had assembled before S:3o, at which -ime Mr Farrell was expected home, all lights were turned out in the parlors. and hardly had this been lone Wnen the Doctors step was heard.
 Walking unceremoniously into the house and reaching for the nearest electric light, he was greeted with I burst of laughter and his dazed eX- Dression proved the completeness of the surprise
 As the merrimant subsided the guests found their places at the card tables and Five Hundred made he time pass swiftly until nearly m dnight.
 After scores were counted it was found that Mrs. Frederick Lewis had won the ladies' prize-a beau tiful hand-painted china bon bon fish, and Mir. J. E. Robarts the gen 'lemen's prize-a handsome sterling silver key ring.
 Dainty refreshments were served, the table being most brilliantly dec orated by a huge birthday cake be- ing surrounded by gold and green candles to the number of the hosts acquired years.
 The score cards were charmingly hand-painted in water COlors, the ladies' cards containing a represen- ative of a sunbOnnet-baby sitting on q fence, gazing down at huge pumpkin, while the gentlemen's cards were decorated with coun- try urchin in overalls, having just laid the pumpkin on the ground near he fence. The color scheme on both cards was green and gold.
 Those present in addition to the host and hostess were: Mir. and Mrs J. E. Robarts, MT and Mrs Freder- ick Lewis, Mir. and Mrs. J. D. Nc Aulay, MT. and Mrs. Caskey, Miss Blanche Watson. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs Robertson. Mrs. Davis, and Messrs. Barrack, Kennedy, Wolcott and Green,

be as soon as the season for vel vet suits fairly sets in. It Is em ployed for boots. for hats and for trimmings throughout the entire wardrobe
 The velvet sunshade was one of the precursors of the style as far back as late In July. and the long black velvet scarf with satin Is an another recent manifestation of the craze. That a season of great rich. ness in feminine apparel Is before us needs no telling when velvet. satin and fur are as prominent as they already are
 One of the new velveteens Is two-toned and this Is being used for handsome and effective costumes. This style recently has been re ferred 10, but it Is so important hat it might be repeated that the waist of such gowns Is often of chiffon in the two tones of the vel vet. the one over the other.
 One of the favorite blends again this fall Is deep, rich blue and black and this Is found in the two-tone6 velvets. as we'll as in the black gauges over blue satins. which are not vet sidetracked.

AT VALDEZ STIsNlTE IS FOUND WHICH ASSAYS s6,ooo TO
 THE TON.

VALDEZ, Oct. 27. An assay which for results surpassed any previously made In Valdez was turned out yesterday by C. W Harrington for William Kruhl, which gave returns of o2l 621O0 ounces in gold to the ton, valued at s6 i32.40.
 The ore from which this phe- nomenal run was secured is a cur. iosity in the mineral world It con Ststs of almost solid stibnite. or antimony glance, in which free gold is visible in quantity.
 The vein from which the ore was taken was discovered by Mir Kruhn last summer on Dan creek hill, at the forks of Dan creek and Niz!na river. The vein varies in width from one to two feet and cap be traced for long distance.
 For several years small speci. mems of this ore have been found in the Dan creek placer diggings and a number of prospectors have looked for the ledge from which 1t came, but until last summer with put success.
 Mining experts and geologists who were shown the specimens from the placer mines declared that it was impossible for the two metals 70 exist together ip the same vein and the gold and antimony found associated together In the sluice boxes must have been derived from different sources. but the discovery of the vein and the surprising as say from the ore is conclusive evi dence that the two metals may be combined in the same ore.
 The returns from the first assay of the ore made by MT. Harrington were so large that he was almost convinced that an error had been made so he made another and still another before he was convinced that the ore was the richest he had ever been called upon to as say, the returns in each case being practically the same.
