WELL KNOWN ALABAMA CON-
GRESHAM HAS ACCEPTED IN
VITATIoN TO ATTEND THE
CONFERENCE OF FARMERS m
THIS CITY ON DEC. 18TH,

According TO the statement of Sec
rotary 9. A. Waterman, of the Com
merctal Association, Congressman T.
]. Hefiin, of Alabama, has accepted an
invitation to attend the farmers con-
ference, which has been called for Dec.
18th. in this city. The conference is
for the purpose of discussing the mar
>keting of the cotton crop and Mr..
Hehin will deliver an address during
the meeting.
Congressman Hefiin is not only one
Of the most talented public speakers
of his state, but since he has been a
member of the national congress, he
has made reputation as one of the
most brilliant orators of the south. or.
in fact, in the house of representatives.
He is we'll informed on the subject
with which he will deal and his ad-
dress is sure to be interesting and TO
be Of benefit to the farmers who hear
him.
Mr.. Helms acceptance is, of course,
conditional upon congress, which con-
venes early in December, adjourning
for the holidays before the date on
which he has agreed TO be in Pensa-
cola.

boys waist measure. Fasten the elias
tic at each end; sew a button on one
side and make buttonhole on the
other. This plan will be found much
more satisfactory than the use of tape
and heater.
If you have grown tired of beading
on your undergarments try using two
strips of lace insertion, one at the back
and one at the front Of the seam, in
closing the raw edge between them,
just as you would putting on a double
cuff to the wrist of blouse. Slip the
ribbon in this as through a casing, and
it will show through the lace in a very
dainty manner. This plan will espec
Tally appeal to the very careful women
who like their clothing to look as well

While it may be a bit more trouble
and more expensive, it makes 4

N EEDLEWORk
NOTES.

In mending plaids or checked ma
terfals several shades of silk threaded
into one needle give good results.
These must harmonic with the chief
tone of the material.
Tape provided with eylets for fas-
Jennings, as well as that with but
tonholes, may be bought by the yard,
so saving the busy woman a great
deal of time. Hooks and eyes on tape,
by the yard, are a great convenience,
too.
Sew large battenberg rings on sash
curtains to run the brass rod through,
instead of putting it through the hem
of the curtain. These rings will keep
the muslin from wearing out quickly,
and may be left on the curtains while
they are in the wash.
The heavier the cotton (of course
there's a linit) with which You do
your cross stitch on linen crash the
better you will like it when finish
ed. If ones thread is small in pro-
portion to the size of the cross" the
work will look skeleton like, but if the
cotton is heavy enough to fill in the
cross" the work looks more solid.
When sewing up seams on thin ma
terial run them through the narIwest
hemmer on your machine (calleG the
foot hemmer"). You will then have
a firm, neat seam. In turning hens
for tablecloths and napkins. run
through the foot f1emmer' on the
machines without having the needle
threaded. You have then a uniform
width hem. And where the machine
needle has pierced the linen you can
hem by hand far easier than if this
were not done.
If you have only one or two pieces
of good lace for jabots use them for
under tabs and make several top ones
of linen, embroidered in colors to
match different shirt waists, and
fasten thin together by a hook and
loop or a small button.
When making some house aprons
out OF a pretty blue calico-the pin
dotted kind-work an initial on the
front in white, and also make button
holed scallops around the armholes
and on the pockets. They are very
odd and pretty and cost so little, in
fact, just a little extra work.
To avoid the tape strings in boys
b1ouses, which are often untidy in ap-
pearance, put in the lower hem a 4ner-
cerized elastic band, about half an
inch wide and not quite so long as the

THE THANKSGIVING MAGICIAN.

] dreamed a dream. such a wonderful
dream;
Come listen, my little lad!
A dream so living about Thanksgiving
It made me sad and glad.
I thought that saw table spread
In low and narrow room.
Its boards were bare, and the men
that were there
Wore looks Of care and gloom.
There were women. too. so pale and
thin
That my heart ached in my breast,
And children so quiet! No merry riot,
No laughter. no song, or jest.
There were trenchers on the table set,
And pitchers of water fair,
But for all the feast for greatest and
least
What do you think was there?
BY every plate five grains of corn,
Five kernels and no more;
Five kernels Of corn was that dinner
forlorn,
For I counted them Ger and Ger.
The reverend men they said a prayer,
And long they thanked the Lord,
For this that was left for them bereft
I'll iii DuL E1iS f1OIy WOTO.
Then while looked with wonder sore
I saw the oldest sprite
Glide softly round, without a sound:
But none of them saw the sight.
A scythe across his shoulder hung,
And he touched each crispy grain,
One turned to a pie all crusted high,
But how l can never explain.
Another swelled to a turkey brown,
And some to joints of meat.
There was boiled, and roast, and quail
on toast,
And all good things to eat.
The DANES who wore their kites Of
gray
In velvet swept the ground,
And girls and boys with merry noise
Made all the house resound.
Good elf with the scythe and glass,
Thou doest well, but thy name pray
tell,
And how this cometh to pass"
He smiled and sighed and smiled
again,
And his voice like a Christmas
chime
Said: Il am seer. I work wonders
here;
Mortal! my name is Time"
Then listen and learn, my little lad,
Tho troubles and years increase,
Life is worth living; so keep Thanks
giving,
For time brings plenty and peace.
