The Spots DiSappeared,

Mrs. Dolan lived in district which
was not as favorable for the outdoor
household experiments recommended
by the Ladies' Helper as it might have
been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid
ly assimilating, and in a manner not
SO uncommon as it might be she
blamed the estimable periodical for
her difficulties.
Il wisht l had holt O. that woman
that runs the Handy Hints depart

one morning after an early excursion
into the back yard, whence she re-
turned in high dudgeon.

ly testing his cup of tea.
We'll, I've changed me mind, as

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
women Understand That Not Herosm
But Simply Love Prompted
Self Sacrifice.

A few days ago, in a somewhat
squalid neighborhood, house caught
IRE. The flames shot quickly through
the litter on the floor and the untidy
array OF clothing on the walls A wom-
an talking with a neighbor ran scream
Ing to the house and without an in
.stants hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands and
lace blackened and blistered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out with
the story, printed under headlines ex-
tolling this mothers heroism. Men
read it on street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: That woman dared to do
what most men would be afraid to do"
But the mothers who read it at home
did not think that way. Perhaps the
danger to the baby, the wrecking OF
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes, but to them the act was not one
of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter how timid,
would do under the same circum-
ces.-Cleveland Leader.

It was exhibition day at No. 8, and
as the parents of Jack Grady, the
dullest pupil, were listening hopefully,
the teacher tried ner best to help the
boy. How did Charles |. OF England

question on her list to Jack AS he

pIFAsES PEOPLE OF WALES
...;,u-. of Heir to British Throne
With Title of Prince OF That
Country Is Polite.

Though the investitnre OF the ne"
prince of Wales carries with 1t no
actual power over the people In his
cominal domains. 1t conveys some
valuable perquisites and titles not to
he disdained ever by royalty. The
earldom of Chester goes with the
principality and Is in sense consid-
cred part of it. By statute OF the
Order of the Garter in 1905 the
Prince of Wales becomes knight OF
the order as soon as he receives his
title There was an annuity OF 4O,oOO
mounds settled on the prince In the
course of Queen Victoria's reign, also
ne gets the revenues of the duchy OF
Cornwall, which sometimes amount to
,,000OO pounds year The Princess
of Wales receives an annuity OF w.
600 pounds, which becomes 10000 in
the event of her widowhood. Both
the Prince and Princess of Wales
have separate households, and George
III even made general rules for their
regulation In a vain attempt to keep
the heir to the throne out OF debt.
The title of Prince of Wales Is not
hereditary. 1t must be re-created
Usually 1t is bestowed by patent and
lnvestiture, though in few instances
the monarch's eldest son has become
prince simply by virtue Of declara-
ton. The latter condition exists at
present and will exist until next July.
Though, as suggested, the ceremony
conveys to the Prince Of Wales no
actual power. it is calculated to have
. powerful sentimental effect on the
Welsh people, an effect that ought to
be heightened by the fact that in the
present instance the pageant takes
place, for the first time in centuries.
on Welsh soil-that is, in Carnarvon,
the birthplace of the first Prince OF
Wales, afterward Edward II of Eng
land. The traditionally Independent
spirit Of the Welsh people for several
centuries has ceased to exhibit itself
In militant rebellion. but of late it
has manifested itself in a big effort
to revive the Welsh language and
literature. 1t is said that there are
half-million of people inside the
who never speak English.
Under such conditions, it is easy to
zee how -nal, even If somewhat
Medieval, acknowledgement of the
Ieparateness of the principality may
'ppeal to the people al large and
nightly tickle them.

shave their faces. The Levitical code
expressly forbade the shaving of the
