Founder of "King's Daughters"

Mrs. Margaret Bottome, president
of the International Order of Kings
Daughters, we'll known as religious
writer and organizer, died at her
hore in New York City. She was in
the seventy-ninth year of her age,
having been born in New York City

name was Mcdonald. She was edu-
Gated at Professor Greenleafs School,

passed, and where she married the
Rev. DR.. Frank Bottome, of the Meth

1t was in connection with the or

has grown to a membership Of hun

MuTs Are Immense.

The new muffs are immense, and
often seem to use up all the fur the
owner has at her disposal, for her
throat is protected only by little
conceit of fur. In other cases there
isn't enough fur even for the muff,
and it has to be pieced out with some
other material, such as velvet, satin
or chiffon. The essential point is the
size, not the material. These mon
strous muffs call aloud for large hats
to balance them, and are tending to
check the vogue Of the small chapeau.

HOW TO STOP A MOTOR CAR.
1t Isn't Easy to Do 1t in Big Hurry
Without Skidding.

..Never do anything suddenly with
an automobile, writes an experienced
driver in Outing. "Only so can wear
and tear on the car be minimized, not
to mention accidents. Suppose you
are confronted with the necessity for
a sudden stop. Your amateur impulse
will be to jam down the clutch pedal,
grip the emergency brake lever and
clamp the wheels into cessation of
their revolution.
1.-THE motor, thus relieved of its
load, will begin to race, the fywheel
will spin around with increasing We
locity, and you are lucky if, especially
on wet asphalt, your car does not skid
around like top, hit the curb and
turn turtle with you underneath The
wear of this sort of stop on the tires
should be sufficient consideration
for you to refrain from cultivating it,
IF, on the other hand, you first
close the throttle, then throw out the
clutch and apply the brake just hard
enough to allow the wheels barely to
revolye your car will come to a safer
and speedier stop without strain. The
motions to accomplish this must of
course be practically simultaneous,
but they are no more difficult than
those required for the wrong kind of
stop. Once at rest, you open the
throttle instantly and advance the
spark II necessary to start the engine.
The clutch can then be thrown in
gradually when you wish to advance"

sensitive child who read books be-
yond his years and passionately loved
music.
But Jan was the man of the family
at fourteen!
The morning Of the awful fire in the
mines Jan was in bed sick. and the
doctor said he must stay, but he
knew the rent was just due.
So the brave little fellow pinched
his thin lips together and went to the
shaft, the miners lamp lighting up his
pale little face and his poor lunch in
his little tin bucket.

Inhumanity Of Revolutions.

From the St. Louis Star.
There is great suffering in Blue
fields. The insurgents who have cap
tured some 1900 of Zelaya's men are
unable to feed or care for them, while
hundreds of sick and wounded are
without any attention at ALL save that
which is being given them by the sur
geons and the marines detailed as
nurses in improvised hospitals. These
when made irresponsible and poorly
prepared combatants. The last thing
these revolutionary leaders think of
is properly equipped hospital corps
and medical staff. Next to the last
thing it means to purchase food for
their own soldiers and for prisoners
When they raise money enough to buy
arms and ammunition they think they
are ready for war, though those are
the two least expensive parts of war
equipment. They practically con-
script their soldiers, and they plumber
the country in which they operate for
their subsistence, but neither con-
scription nor plumber can supply ade-
quate hospital equipment and service,
and the care of wounded must be left
to the active charity of non-combat-
ants, chiefly foreign. as at Bluefields.

why steps should be taken to assure

The Shirt Waist.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Let no one take fright at the threat
of the New York shirt waist barons to
put the shirt waist out of fashion. The
threat itself is mere symptom of baf-
fled bellicOsity. The barons have a
strike on their hands and wish to
alarm the strikers. The latter are
skilled in the making of shirt waists,
having devoted their lives to the art,
and If shirt waists were abolished their
strike would become purely academic
and they would face starvation. But
they refuse to tremble because they
know that the shirt waist has come to
stay. Not all the anathemas of all
the fashion czars, in creation can move
it an inch. And no wonder Was
there ever a garment more slightly and
ingenious than the shirt waist: 1t
gives a certain dashing grace to the
most obtuse figure. Its collision with
the dark skirt beneath it gives the eff
feet of an orthodox waist. even when
there is no waist there. 1t submits
easil to the customary processes of
renovation. 1t is cheap. 1t goes
WELL. as the makers of robes ct man
teaux say. with any sort of skirt. 1t
is cool 1t has both dignity and a
touch of coquetry. Whether peek-a-
boo or air-tight. it satisfies the eye
and soothes the mind. woman in a
freshly Numbered shirt waist knows
very we'll that she is doing deadly ex-
ecution, and the thought elevates her.

A Good Book Season.

From the New York World.
It is bad theatrical season in New
York. because so few good plays can
be found. 1t has been the best au-
tumn for books that the publishers
have had in many years. despite the
fact that no books of sensational mer-
1t have appeared. Publishers are more
fortunate than managers. as they al
ways have old stores to draw upon. Ex-
cept in the case of Shakespeare and a
few other writer's. old plays cannot be
used in large cities. But every great
publishing house has long list of
authors whose works are always in de-
mand. Often it judges of its business
by the rise or fall in the demand for
these instead of by the success of its
new publications. The marked char
acteristic OF the autumn. as of several
preceding ones, has been the liking for
authentic memoirs. Travels in new
reGions and descriptive or impression
istic accounts of old countries are high
ly popular Religious works were
never In better demand, and the King
James Bible remains. as it has been
every year for century or two, the
best selling book.
