The Mother.

She snever touched, with skillful
brush, the canvas,
And left a picture that the world
might praise;
Or, with inspired fingers on the key
board,
Sent down an echo through the
length Of days;
But once, with eyes tear-stained, yet
looking upward,
With smiling lips she passed
beneath the rod,
Descending almost to the vale of
To bring a little newborn soul
from God.
She never sang a song of JOY or sad
ness,
In clear sweet tones to make us
smile or weep;
Her voice, too weak to win the
worlds approval
Was only good to hush babe to
sleep.
She never penned a book whose
glowing pages,
Might lift us up and help us in the
fight;
But day by day she sought, with low
ing patience,
To guide two little stumbling feet
Alright,
And yet, mayhap, when at the gate
~ heaven
She paused, God looked at her and
smiled
With hand outsiretched, Ills kind
voice spoke welcome
To her, the mother Of little child

SOME POINTS ON CUTTING
Extremely important Operation When
Satisfactory Fit of Garment
Is Considered.

If dress be well cut you will have
no trouble at all about putting 1t 20
gether.
When you are cutting out skirt
always allow plenty of turnings around
the waist and hips.
Remember that If your hips are
large in proportion to your waist 1t Is
best to get pattern q couple OF
inches larger than the waist rather
than one that just fits.
1t is easy then to take the goods
In at the waist if the pattern is too
large at this place,
When you are cutting a striped
skirt remember that even though you
may be told on the pattern to place
one side to a selvedge, 1t Is advisable
to use rather your own common sense
and, as a rule at least. to cut each
side slightly on the bias.
II this is done the joining place is
not nearly so noticeable as if one side
is on the bias and the other on the
straight.
Before cutting out sleeves always
double your material and cut the two
together.
Then you are bound to cut them
right and they will match properly.
u The material be striped see that
the stripes come directly over one
another.
Pin the material TO make sure, as
nothing looks worse than two sleeves.

REMNANTS WORTH PICKING UP
Embroidery Fiouncing Useful on Fu-
ture Occasions Should Not
Be Overlooked,

Now's the time to pick up remnants
of embroidery founcing that can be
used for various things. The embroi-
derry rufIle on the underskirt Is al
ways attractive. In either blind or
eyelet work it looks well and outlasts
lace.
Fine batiste can be combined with
lace and the body OF the goods
matched and tucked bands incorpo-
rated with the embroidery to form
exquisite blouses.
Lingerie mats for young girls, for.
little tots and for older women are
easily fashioned of short lengths of
fine embroidered flouncing. Edge the
scallops with lace or face the. entire
brim with rutlies Of net, Although we
are thinking Of the last rose OF sum
mer, there viii be many occasions
that will demand pretty dressy hat,
especially in the evenings.
Yokes can be made OF bouncing, the
remainder of bodice made of tucked
material. This same idea can be re-
versed and plain tucked yokes COM
bined With embroidered lower por-
tons
For finishing combinations narrow
fiounc;ng OF fine lawn or batiste is not
to be improved upon. Corset covers
also can be made entirely Of fiounc-
ing with straps Of embroidery or lace
AS for edging bureau scarfs, making
pincushions, etc, the opportunities
are without number: the clever woHl-
an should be not hampered by a pau
city of ideas for the use of odd pieces.

DECIDES
AGAINST
DEFENSE
JUDGE BORDWELL HOLDS JUR-
ORS NOT DISQUALIFIED BY
HAVING FIXED OPINION En-
PLOSION WAS CAUSED BY
DYNAMITE.

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Oct.
29.-The prosecution in the trial Of
James B. Mcnamara, accused of
murder in connection with the de-
struction of the Los Angeles Times
building on October l, 1910, scored a
sweeping victory today and one that
may materially shorten the length of
the trial at least in so far as getting
jury is concerned.
After celebrating since Friday,
Judge Bordwell ruled that a juror
need not be disqualified simply be-
cause he entertained an opinion that
the Times building was destroyed by
dynamite, so long as that opinion did
not go to the guilt or innocence of
the defendant or was based on posi-
tive knowledge of the conditions.
The defense had bitterly combatted
| this point and had insisted that any
one having any opinion whatsoever
regarding the cause of the explosion,
must necessarily be disqualified.
So bitter was the disappointment
that Attorney Scott of the defense
forces, virtually charged Judge Bord-
we'll with bias and unfairness and
was rebuked in strong language by
| the court.

With the view of raising money to

the East Salem fire station, Chief OF
Police Savage today made arrange
ments with the theaters in the city
for them to give a certain amount of
their proceeds to the cause.
When Mr.. Savage was fire chief be-
fore, he made arrangements for the
raising of funds for a similar cause
for the central department. Today
he saw the Wexford, the Palm, the
Ye Liberty, Blys and The Grand, and
asked them to in the near future
give to the department the proceeds
of one hour of their entertainment
and they agreed. The chief figures
that in this way, and from other
sources he will be able to equip in
a suitable way the quarters of the
firemen of the East Salem station.
