My Kid.

When l grow up and have kid
I'm goin' to call him Bill;
But he won't be no Willie,
An we won't call him Will.
My kid won't have to do the things
That | have had to do:
Pack in the wood and do the chores
An chop the kindIin' too.
NV kid won't have to wash his feet
An scrub the skin away
Just cause he's been barefootin'
Around the town all day.
My kid kin go in swlmmin'
An stay out late at night;
An he kin play his migs fer keeps
An have big box kite.
An never go to Sunday school
An not get licked when bad;
Bill sure will be luck kid
To have me for a dad.
An thinkin' of these things fer Bill
| kind of wish [ had
Belonged to me, instead of me
Belongin' to my dad.

Hints for the Women Who Sews

To sponge cloth so it will not shrink
or spot Wiring sheets out of clear
water as dry as possible; with the
hands lay the cloth upon it single or
double fold. Roll up together very
carefully. Let lay over night, then
iron on the wrong side until perfect
ly dry. Be careful to have edges
straight.
Tailor's tacks-One short stitch
alternating with loose enough to form
loop. Cut loop, pull cloth apart,
cut again. This leaves bits of thread
which marks the seam.
Padding stitch = Draw thread
through, take stitch one-half inch
long then long back stitch.
Slip stitch-This is just running
stitch taken between two edges.

The Problem of the Long Coat.

With the advent of cooler days the
feminine mind turns to thoughts of
raiment, even if the time of picking
and preserving is not over.
While in the city this week my at
tention was called to splendid dis
plays of long coats by the leading
stores and the lovely materials at
reasonable prices for making them.
1t occurred to me that many of our
readers would be glad for few hints
concerning them, SO | consulted one
who does splendid work along that
line. She gave me some pointers in
regard to the things that are apt to
puzzle and hinder the amateur sewer.
Probably the best materials to

ELDERBERRY WINE.
requested

(Requested).
Pick over fruit and squeeze out all
the juice possible; pour over pulp as
much boiling water as there is juice
and let stand two hours. Mix with
the juice; to every gallon add four
pounds of brown sugar.
DARK BREAD PUDDING.
Requested.
Take dry bread, enough to I'LL a
two quart pan after it is soaked;
one-half cup molasses, one cup of
brown sugar, white will do). one
cup suet or fat pork chopped, two
eggs, one pint of milk, two cups
chopped raisins, all kinds of spice.
CANNED MEAT.
(Contributed).
Take any kind of meat or sausage,
salt for use. Pack tightly into glass
jars. Screw on tops without the
rubbers. Put wooden rack in the
bottom of the wash boiler or kettle,
set jars upon it, then fill to neck with
cold water. Bring to boil and keep
boiling for three hours; take out, re-
move caps and fill up with boiling
water ii needed. Adjust rubbers and
seal. This is fine way to take care
of meat when there is too much to
use after it is butchered. 1t is like
the fresh meat.

aud wide vale, the oheviots and suit
ings. The latter are double faced,
such as gray stripes on one side with
navy on the other; others are plaid
and plain. The latter are more suit
able for common, hard usage, not for
dressy wear. Blue, brown and gray
lead In color. One should be- careful
to get blue navy rather than that
with the purple tint that always
appears in the cheap blues.
The best pattern one can use is one
that has no darts, pockets or difficult
collar. The plain rolling one can be
managed very we'll. The amount re-
quired is four and one-fourth yards

and cuffs, one and one-fourth yards,

1t is always best to cut each piece
from muslin or cambria first so as to
run no risk with the goods. Cut

the goods, with no twist in laying on
the pattern. Fit very carefully. Be
sure the seam is we'll back over the
pont of the shoulder so the wearer
will not appear round shouldered.
This can be done by letting out the
front and taking in the back. Run
tailors tacks along the seam lines, cut
apart, mark with chalk and then trim
to three eighths inch of them for
seams. Lay this muslin pattern on
the goods, being sure that the line
where the large perforations were is
straight with the goods. The least
bit of twist to save material may be
the means of spelling the fit of the
garment. 1t is on these little things
that the success depends.
After stitching seams, press open
and clip If necessary. Cut from the
shrunk canvas lining extending to
waist line in front to three inches at
under arm seam. Cut off canvas to
seams along front edge, fold material
over and cat stitch to position. At
shoulder and under arm seam, cat
stitch canvas to cloth. For back of
neck and arm holes cut shaped pieces
of canvas two inches wide.
For the neck band cut from cloth
and canvas, then stitch with the
machine several times from end to
end. Cut collar from muslin and
sew to neck band. Ii it does not set
snug fit at the seams. Cut the
material from this altered piece. If
of velvet it will need no canvas lin
| ing. Just the cloth on the under
side lined with the muslin and fasten-
ed together with padding stitches
which should scarcely show. The
| rows of stitching should be very close
so that there can be no wrinkles.
Stay collar edge by shrunk, narrow
tape. Turn edge over it one and one
half inch and cat stitch to position.
Cut velvet to inlay this collar and
slip stitch to place. There should be
an inch of cloth showing around edge.
Sew to neck band then neck band to
coat. Stay front edge of coat with
,, narrow tape so it will not stretch.
Put a five inch facing up the front to
meet the collar.

One of the curiosities of the Cam

of the intercollegiate contests has done

people cannot see why the Oxonians

ut is new in itself, and the English
mind is slow to adapt itself to novel
ties. This is what the late Lord Derby
said about the proposal to found an

"The alternative scheme of relay
racing was substituted and so far

For Hammer Throwing When He
Goes Against the Cantabs-Lanse,
StoIz and Hubble Others.
Several American Rhodes scholars at
Oxford university will figure in the
annual intervarsity contest of Oxford
Cambridge the coming spring. W. A.
Zeigler has shown that he is without
a peer among the oxford hammer
throwers, and he is expected to do all
sorts Of things to the records when
the weather becomes favorable. Then
there is the Yankee sprinter LANCE,
who should give the Cantabs plenty of
trouble in his department. and there
is H r. Stolz for the 440 yards At
Oxford they have it that he has beat
en- every man in America; but, though
he might appear smart to the Oxoni-
ans. it would be easy enough to emu
merate the national titles he has won
on this side of the pond. There is yet
another American in e. Hubble, said
to be good for the high jump. He has
already beaten feet 10 inches, and
by the time the sports come around
he expects to be clearing 6 feet or
perhaps a trife higher. He is also
fairly good shot putter so R can be
seen that the americans will be
tower of strength to the dark blues
this time.

RECONSIDER MINOT
NORMAL SITE

The board Of control of the normal
schools of the state will be in session
in Minot July %, reconsidering the
site for the Minot normal school, To-
Gated by majority of the board on
the South hill. Gov. Burke has taken
a hand in the matter and has urged
the board to reconsider the selection
of the site, in hopes that they will
change it to some part of the city
where there may be hopes of railway
facilities. A petition signed by about
800 Minot citizens, besides others from
the surrounding towns, was presented
to the board at their recent meeting
at Mayville, asking that the site be
changed. 1t is generally hoped that
the board will decide the matter ded-
nitely at this meeting, SO that the
work on the buildings may begin
soon.
1t is said that Governor Burke will
attend this meeting, and an interest
ing session will no doubt result.
