For Silk embrolderies,

There are some things not OF com.

learn. One Of these is the use Of an
aluminium thimble in place Of the sill.

be the proud possessor. The steel or

BLUFF AMONG THE NEGROES
Little Story Of . Quarrel That llIus.

threats and boastinss Of its slashins

One night recently saw q striking
living picture Of this kind. was
one Of crowd which got OF an early
morning elevated train. A negro
quarrel was In progress In front Of .
house on the opposite side Of the
street and all stopped to watch Il.
One husky black was about to apply
an axe to the Uranium Of q smaller
negro. when an ally Of the lesser one
threatened the husky individual with
q blackjack from behind. Thus II
stood-if the axe fell on one skull
the blackjack would descend on an.
other. Neither participant seemed
willing to start anything" There
was the tableau and It simply died
away like a moving picture climax
on the screen.
Evidently this scene Of inaction
overtaxed the patience Of the dusky
spectators. for they broke the lull BY
tossing beer bottles at one another.
This. too. was without ginger. Just

For Twisted Thread.

The woman who sews Is very olten
ANNOYED by having the thread twist
into knots, especially II che is using
a long thread. .
Waxing the thread by running II
over a bit Of beeswax is the proper
way to avoid this trouble; but wal
sometimes discolors the thread slight

count.
For either silk or cotton thread you
can use, the same as wax, a small
piece of pure white soap that Is per
fectly dry. This makes the thread
slip through the material very easily
and absolutely prevents twisted
knots.

Doctor Draper has frequently been

A Lazy Mans Job.

Tip, since his early wanderings on
the plains, has always said that the
softest lazy mans job on earth was
raising sheep. Sheep are bush feed
ers. They will thrive on eating any
thing from dead sage-brush to railroad
snow fences. They will tunnel their
muzzles through snow to get a stick
underneath for food. OF course they
eat the snow when they get thirsty.
Now Tip learns from an official gov
ernment report that an island of the
coast of Nova Scotia has been a great
success. Not an attendant with food.
not a copper cent OF cost to the own
ers, and through two bitterly cold.
hard winters those sheep have fat
tened and fourished to splendid form
and feece.-New York Press.

STORM SCATTERS DEATH.
Four Killed at Cleveland and Lorain;
Two at Pittsburg.

Cleveland, June -Four dead and
20 injured was the toll of the terrific
wind and rain storm which swept over
Cleveland and vicinity today. Three
lives were lost at Lorain. All of the
dead were in rowboats which were
capsized by a sudden wind storm
which sprang up out of calm.
The body of woman, one of those
drowned, was identified as that of
Mrs. Ethel Early. She, with David
and Thomas Longstreet, her brothers,
were out on the lake in a rowboat.
Two more empty rowboats were
picked up by tug.
Twenty bathers at Edgewater Park,
who took shelter in the boathouse,
were buried when the roof fell. One
man had both legs broken when a wa
gon was blown on him and another
was struck by a piece of cornice,
blown off an History building. His
skull was fractured.

sharp curve at Maiden, seven miles
east of Ralston, 26 miles east of Lind,
Wash, the Columbian, eastbound
passenger train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railroad, was
wrecked at O'Clock this morning.
Seven coaches were derailed, the en-
gineer and fireman instantly killed,

engine, smoker and day coach left the
rails and piled up on the track. They
were demolished.

ONE DEAD, FIVE HURT.
First Days Auto Racing Full of Bad
Accidents.

Motor Speedway, Ind, May 81
One life was sacrificed and several
men were injured yesterday in the
first 500-mile race on the speedway.
The race was won by Ray Harroun,
driving Marmon car, in 6 hours, Al
minutes and seconds. Closely press
ing Harroun for victory were Ralph
Mulford, with Lozier, who finished
second, and David Bruce Brown, in a
Fiat, good third.
Seventy-seven thousand persons
shouted encouragement to the 40 pi-
lots who started the race at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and with unfagging
enthusiasm cheered the leaders in the
last laps and watched the field pound
around the course in division of the
lesser honors.
In the most serious accident of the
day S. P. Dickson, of Chicago, me-
chanician for Arthur Greiner, driving
an Amplex, lost his life in an upset on
the back stretch. The race had been
on but few minutes and the Amplex
was in its 30th mile when the rim of
one of the front wheels flew off. The
car twisted on the track, hurting the
men from their seats. Dickson was
thrown against fence 20 feet away
and was terribly mangled. He was
instantly killed. Greiner was serious
ly injured and it was feared he had
concussion of the brain, but it was
later learned that his only injury was
fracture of an arm.
Men injured in the mishaps were:
Dave Lewis, mechanician, right leg
broken near hip.
Harry E. Knight, driver of Wes-
colt, breast bruised and possible in
ternal injuries.
John T. Glover, Knights mechan-
ician, body bruised
Bob Evans, mechanician for Jack
Tower, Jackson car, body bruised
when he leaped from car in panic.
John Wood, mechanician for Joe
Jaegersburg, Case car, run over and
badly bruised.

Butter "Brands" Earces.

Kansas City-It is useless for the
consumer to tell the grocer to send a
certain brand of butter and no other.
Practically all the butter sold by the
retailers is purchased in tubs in car
load lots, taken to the place of bust
ness of the big distributors and there
nodded into packages and branded.
Little of the butter distributed by any
one company with particular brand
is manufactured by that company.
This was the testimony of produce

LAWS MAKE JUDGE ANGRY.
Says Provincial Legal Habit Makes
Us BIunder Along.

New York-In decision given here
by Judge Hand, of the Federal court,
involving highly technical scientific
matters, the court stepped aside from
the questions at issue to berate the
provincial legal habit of mind" of
American Jurisprudence.
81 cannot STOP" said Judge Hand,
without calling attention to the ex-
traordinary condition of the law which
makes it possible for man without
even the rudiments of chemistry to
pass on questions like these.
"In Germany, the court summons
technical judges who can intelligently
pass on the issues. How long we
shall continue to blunder along nobody
knows, but all persons not convention
allied by provincial legal habits of
mind ought to unite to effect some
advance. "

SPEAKS OF PEACE AND WAR.
TAFT Pays Tribute to Dead Heroes at
Arlington Cemetery.

Washington - Under the shaded
arches of the Washington National
Cemetery Tuesday, President Taft
spoke not so much as the friend of
peace, but as the enemy of war.
Thousands of veterans tramped the hot
asphalt of the street, crossed the Po-
tomac and trudged dusty roads to Ar
lington to hear the president speak.
Thousands of others came in auto
mobiles and by street cars, and Presi-
dent Taft, with Secretary of War
Stimson, came up to the vine covered
amphitheater and saw fully 10000
persons crowded about the speakers
stand. 1t probably was the most
largely attended Memorial day cere-
mony Washington has seen.
"Far be it from me-" said the
president, to minimize in any way
the debt we owe to the men buried
here who carried on the successful
struggle that resulted in the abolition
of the cancer of slavery, which SEEM
ed ineradicable save by such an awful
slaughter of the brightest and bravest
and best of the Nations youth and
manhood.
81 shall not discuss whether it
might have been possible to accom-
plish the same reform by milder meth
DDS. Whether that be true or not, the
supreme sacrifice of these men who lie
about US, in the cause of advancing
humanity cannot be lessened or OBJ
scured by such a suggestion.
But the thought at which | would
but hint this morning, is that, even
the hallowed presence of these dead,
whose ideals of patriotism and love of
their countrymen it needed war to
make everlastingly evident, we should
abate no effort and strain every nerve
and avail ourselves of every honorable
device to avoid war in the future.
81 am not blind to the aid in Great
ing sturdy manhood that the military
we see in the standing armies
IF Europe and in the regular army of
this country, nor do l deny the Incl
dental benefits that may grow out of
the exigencies and sequelae of war
But when the books are balanced, the
awful horrors of either international
)r internal strife far outweigh the
benefits that may be attained in it"
