DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY
Pretty Things That Will Properly Set Forth the Apartments of the
 Little Folks.

So many charming things are made for the nursery nowadays that it is delight for young mothers to set out to furnish the apartment devoted to the little folks.
 Sets of basin and pitcher in neat enameled stands are decorated with Kate Greenaway figures.
 Bassinets like large market baskets having stout handles and lined with silk and lace, are very convenient with silk and lace, and very convenient when moving the wee baby from room to room.
 A stand of enameled wicker has four trays for holding babys clothes. It is very compact when shut, but when required these may all be open- ed at the same time by pushing out different ways.
 Small clothes-trees of white painted wood are copies in miniature of what the grOwn-upS use.
 A basket, with compartments to hold six small bowls, is handy when dressing the infant The porcelain bowls are marked safety pins, sponge, soap, nipples, etc.

Study Fioure in Mirror

Every woman who wishes to be really well dressed should study her silhouette before full length mir TOT before going out.
 Many so-called well-dressed women content themselves with the views they get of their frocks in a glass which shows only half of their figure, or in the plate glass windows of stores as they promenade.
 With this scant impression and the knowledge that their gowns are firm. ly made and fastened in the back. they believe themselves perfectly gowned. The truth Is they don't know whether they are or not, not having seen their pictures in the entirety.

EARLY WAR WITH
 JAPAN PREDICTED
PRESENTATIVE ROBSON SAYS CONFLICT WILL FIND US
 UNPREPARED.
Ala bama Congressman Takes a Very
 and Military Affairs.

Washington, D. C.-Declaring that cause that government already has financed it's next war, Representa- tive Hobson drew a gloomy view ot the condition of the United States in case of war. He said the United States government was in such a state of unreadiness that it would have to fight the equivalent of three wars before really beginning war on a prepared basis.
 Mr. Hobson predicted that the Panama canal would never be used by this government in war time, because it would either not be completed or adequate means would be found to prevent it's use instantly upon a dec- laration of war.
 He pictured Japanase occupancy of the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Aleuthian Islands, Alaska, Puget Sound and other parts of the United States and it's possessions.
 You can count on the fingers of your two hands, MT. Hobson said, the number of months before the United States will have war on it's hands. This nation is not going to prepare and the day is coming when it will be struck by nation that IS prepared
 ''ls war visible certainty?' asked Representative Driscoll of New York.
 Yes, and not very far off, said Nr. Hobson. Whether we are struck from the side of the Atlantic ocean or from the Pacific we are going to find ourselves at remarkably early stage of the war absolutely helpless 7"

Some Uses for Mattinn

Straw mating may be put to many uses besides the conventional one of covering fioors
 Table covers may be made of the fine, closely woven Japanese mating, hemmed at each end.
 As finish to the lower part of a wall mating which is not too heavy serves quite as well as burlap and is a change from the more usual cover. ing.
 Settee cushions may be made, or at least covered, with fine, pliable kind of mating, to match the strip on the porch floor.
 Window shades and awning to keep the sun off, which are tied back or rolled up when not in use, are also practical made of mating.
 They are hemmed top and bottom and hung upon rings at the top, which in turn are hung on little brass hooks screwed into the window frame or porch beam.

WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All lnsurmount- able if They Are Properly
 Approached.

The main difficulty in making va lance is to keep it in place without putting tacks into the furniture or having it on narrow strips that pull out from under the mattress. One woman has hit upon a plan of having heavy unbleached sheeting cut just the size of the bed, or little within the line of the sides. The sheeting is shrunk before being used. The va lance is sewed to it on each side and across the end.
 The cover is then spread over the springs and under the mattress, which holds it firmly in place. If the valance is of thin material, that needs frequent washing, it is good idea to put it ino a narrow band, provided with buttonholes at intervals close enough to prevent sagging. Buttons are sewed to the sheeting in places to correspond

Mexican Rebels Are Advancing.

Presidio, TeXas.-Insurgents under Emilio Salgado have captured ten wagons loaded with provisions for the federal garrison at Ojinaga. Cut off from communication with Chihuahua, the federals are now buying supplies On the American side of the rive. Slowly the rebels are advancing on the besieged city and an attack is expected within a few days. Two troops of the Third U. s. Cavalry and a pack train from West Point, N. Y, are now stationed here and are pa trolling the Rio Grande.

The Newest Tea "osies.

Quite the newest tea cosies are fascinating creations heavily en- broidered in an open pattern to show off silk lining of gay color. That the cosey may fit over any sized tea pot, even the most capacious, it has end pieces let in, and these are of plain linen, unadorned like the rest, so that here the colored lining does not show through. The seams of the cosey are covered by handsome white cord, artistically knotted here and there to give a pretty effect.

To Clean Felt Hats.

First, all the trimming is removed and the felt given thorough brush ing. From a hardware dealer pur- chase, for a few cents, a sheet of the finest sandpaper made. Cut into piece around a convenient-sized block of wood, begin sandpapering the hat being careful always to rub in the direction of the nap. Continue this process, using a new piece of sand paper when necessary, until the felt begins to take on new and clean appearance. When the felt becomes clean the nap is slightly dampened and the felt pressed with a moder- ately hot iron.

Erills of the laN

Rich little black dresses are very often relieved by gay Bulgarian or oriental embroidery. A collar or little guimpe of lace and again handsome silk braid is the trimming and little gold buttons relieve the black.
 The aIl-black frock for ball and din ner wear is very much in evidence but it is usually frightened with jet or rich embroideries in colors.
 Quaint little silk hoods to cover the hair and keep the dust out are both novel and becoming.
 Italian silk blankets to add to the covers in the train stateroom come in many pretty colors and fold up very small.

Empire Waist Line,

The straight, narrow lines not over. accentuated and the shortened waist line are very pretty in the one-piece hotting frocks of linen, silk, etc., which are being made for southern wear, though the empire waist line must always be handled very care fully in connection with street frock if it is not to give the frock an air suitable to the boudoir rather than the street.

NEW FEDERAL JUDGE NAMED

The recent appointment by Presi- dent Taft of Representative Walter IngleWood Smith of Iowa to be a judge of the eighth circuit of the fed eral court to succeed Judge Van De- vanter, promoted to the supreme court bench, has created considerable stir in political circles.
 One of the principal reasons for political interest in the appointment of Judge Smith is connected with the fact that a candidate presented by progressives for the same position was Representative George w. Nor ris of Nebraska, insurgent leader, who directed the revolution last March which resulted in the busting of Speak CT Cannon from the rules committee. Judge Smith has been in congress since 1900
 Judge Smith was born in Council Bluffs, July 10, 1862 He received a common school education, studied law.

POLICE JUDGE A SOLOMON

The author of the famous Pollard Pledge Is William J. Pollard. He was magistrate of the Dayton Street po- ice court in St. Louis, when one day man was brought before him on the charge of having beaten his wife. The case against him was clear and he was sentenced to six months to the work house. Then the wife began to cry and to plead for the man she had brought before the court.
 He is the sole support of my six children and myself" she said. ''If you send him to Jail, Judge, we will starve would rather take his beat ings and have food for my little ones. Please, judge, let him go."
 Judge Pollard was in a quandary: He looked at the brutal face of t10 prisoner, and he gazed at the teart1s wife. He picked up his pen ana wrote a few lines on a sheet of paper.

'fJiM" MARITIME OF JERSEY

One of the picturesque figures in the next United States senate will be James B. Maritime of New Jersey. Jim" Maritime is new Jerseys first Democratic senator in 16 years. He is man of many mannerisms that have caused some persons to call him eccentric, but 1t is claimed that Mir Maritime is not an eccentric person by any means. The fact is, in his home you would take him to be a southern CT of the old days. On the streets of Plainfield you will see him stroll ing along, wearing his fedora hat (Kentucky colonel style) shading his eyes, and calling to first one man and then another.
 Like all men who enjoy mingling with the public, Mir Maritime has his hobbies, and his pet ones are politics, farming and oratory. The last-named came to him as birthright. As for politics, MT Maritime is a politician for the love of it. Of his 61 years 43 have

tendance.

Governor Burke, who has been re-
quested to name delegates to the See
America First" convention, in Balti-
more, has not yet done so, he will
however, perform this duty in due
season.
While North Dakota will probably
not participate to any great extent
in the exhibition. there may be people
who would gladly avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit Baltimore
and the east at the time mentioned
and here would be some advantage
in being named by the governor as
delegates from this state.
Governor Burke has received the
following communication:
The Greater Baltimore Committee
has changed the date for holding the
big "See America First" convention
in Baltimore, Nd, to May IL, 1912
instead of January, as originally
planned. The change in date will
give the various states more time tt
arrange for the exhibit they Intend
making. 1t is proposed to make the
display one of the greatest events thai
has ever taken place in thi9 country
The proposition has been strongly en-
dorsed by President Taft, who prom
ises to be present on the opening day
and have all of the departments o.
the United States government cooper
ate with the Baltimore people in 81
far as it is permissible under the law
Large committees have already beer
appointed by Governor Grothers OF
the part of Maryland and Mayor Pres
ton for Baltimore city, and they ar.
getting down to hard work, cooper
atively with the Greater Ealtimor,
Committee, in making all arrange
ments that will be necessary for sucl
big convention.
In changing the date for the con
vention the members of the executiv,

Committee felt that as May is usual.
one of he most delightful months o
the year. it would be far better tim,
for the display than in January whel
there is generally more disagreeabl'
weather than at any other period. l
was also realized that to have one o
the greatest Typographical and pictor
ial exhibits ever seen in this country
would call for lot of careful plan
ming and hard work. Therefore i
occurred to the committee that more
time would be required to do the mul
titude of things necessary to perfec
the arrangements for the convention
than between now and the latter par
of next January. There was also {
strong reason for making the change
