Cretonne Writing Set a Gift Which
VIII BE Pleasing to
Any Girl.

For the maid who loves white
enameled furniture and dimity cur
tains and dresden china toilet articles
nothing could be more charming than
cretonne-corered writing set for the
boudoir desk. It is especially approp-
riate in simple rosebud design for a
young girl.
First there Is the big blotter, the
foundation cut out of heavy cardboard
after a leather model and the Gre
tonne carefully pasted on, with tiny
stitches to round the corners proper
ly. A narrow gimp edging may be
used If desired, but If you can do the
work neatly enough 1t Is really pref
tier without.
Next In order is the set Of note
books, ranging from the big dairy to
the little address book, and each neat
ly bound. Here the gilt or green gimp
is more in order, but you may suit
your own tastes about that
Calendar (the cards for the perpet-
ual variety may be bought, with a
light, cheap frame, at any stationery
and picture frames belong together;
and after them come the little boxes
for pen points, elastics, etc. These
may be merely little jewelry boxes
lined with silk or velvet or, better,
gray chamois.
There are three articles which
must not be included in this set.
These are the ink we'll and the pen
tray, because of the danger of stain
ing them, and the candlesticks, be-
cause of that Of fire. But If you wish
your set to be complete, you can get
these in dresden china, with q little
clock to match, in design closely
approximating that of the cretonne.
Perhaps 1t would be better to buy the
china first and match the cretonne
from It.
All sorts of smaller articles, such
as little blotters, penwiper, paper
cutter. etc., may be covered with the
pretty fabric. OF course, brocaded
silk may be used instead, If you de-
sire to make the SET a more expen-
sive one.
And, by the way, give a piece of
the plain fabric with your present, or
get it extra If you are making the set
for yourself. For accidents will hap
pen, and first aid is useful thing to
have at hand.

UE to the Postmaster
General.

A Jersey spinster intrusted her
false teeth to the mails, and they went
astray. Postmaster General Hitch
cock received the following appeal
from her:
Dear Sir-I suppose you have re-
ceived note from the Camden post
master that the upper plates of my
teeth have been lost in the mails.
They were mailed at Camden on jan

how inconvenient it is to have to do
without them, and l have not had

more just row. So will you kindly
do what you can for me. and as quick
ly as possible?

The postmaster general put one of
the best inspectors in the service on
the job to find the missip- worries.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the Indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
Il became satisfied some months
ago that owed the palpitation of the
heart from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee, Ct had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years. but 1
found it very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
"One. day I ran across a very SEN
sfble and. straightforward presenta-
tion OF the claims of Postum, and
was so impressed thereby that con-
Guided to give it a trial.
MY experience with it was unsat-
isfactory till I learned how it ought
TO be prepared-by thorough boiling
for not less than Is or 20 minutes.
After I learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
Postum proved to be a most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beyera ge,
and I have used it ever since.
'The effect on my health has been
most salutaIy. The heart palpitation
from which / used to suffer SO much,
particularly after breakfast, has dis
appeared and / never have return OF
it except when | dine or lunch away
from home and drink the old kind of
coffee because Postum is not served.

How He Averted a Duel.

The following is told of former Sen
ator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky:
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by a friend to Sec
ond him in duel He consented, and
at sunrise the parties met at the APP
pointed place. Now, it was this Ken
tuckian's duty to say the last words
touching the terms of the duel But,
although he faithfully performed this
duty, the duel never took place.
A murmur of why not?" invariably
goes around whenever this story is
told, whereupon, the answer is as fol,
lows.
For very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for a duel''-Harper's Magazine.

AN ANGEL OF MERCY
Miss Holman the Florence Night
ingaIe of the South.
How One Woman Has Become Foster
Mother to Many Thousands OF
Poor and Needy Southern
Mountaineers.

Raleigh, N. C.-There is small,
slender woman, with quiet manner
and quiet eyes, known to hundreds,
nay thousands of rich and poor in
this state, who has suddenly found
herself called to become foster moth
er as it were to millions Of people
in the United States whom she has
never seen.
She Is Lydia Holman, trained
nurse. For several years past she
has been an American Florence Night
ingale in a wide region of this state
Alone in the midst of the victims OF
hundred years war with the for
gotten mountaineers and backwoods-
men have waged in the south with
natures grim, primeval forces, she
has fought many narrow local preJu-
dices and local selflshness to bring
them the aid which her two trained
hands could give in sickness and In
manning accidents.
Suddenly, when she had no thought
other than that she was destined, by
opportunity and by choice, to go on
indefinitely doing her lonely best for
the alienation of their needs, the 9TH
er women of the land discovered her
and her charges. Within year a
national organization sprang into pow
erful being, planned to meet gigantic
necessity with more than gigantic
means, and bearing her name as its
watchword.
Miss Holman was practicing her
profession in Philadelphia when
few days prior to Christmas, 1900,
she was summoned to Ledger, this
state, to attend patient suffering
from typhoid fever. The patient re-
covered. The mountain folk, who
knew typhoid precisely as they know
death - for the fever invariably
brought death in their section-were
astounded at the miracle. Whatever
prejudices they might have cherished
against women doctors failed to apply
to this one; for doctor they insisted
she must be if she could save the
doomed as summarily as that. They
locked to Miss Holman's dwelling,
were told she was simply a nurse,
grinned incredulously and demanded
that she cure them of every COM
plant the hardy mountaineers had
in stock
She gave them of her skill and her
remedies for period of four months
and then returned to Philadelphia.
But she could not dispel from her
mind the picture of these simple PEG

To Rid District of Wolves.

Custer.-From the reports received
by Forest Supervisor lines it seems
that the wolves and coyotes are more
numerous in the Limestone district
than they have been for several years.
A number Of stockmen report having
colts and cattle killed by gray wolves
and coyotes and in order to check
their d~epredatiOns, if possible, Super
visor lines has decided to employ a
hunter. Frank r. Smith, of Elk
Mountain, who has had a great deal
of experience IN trapping and pOis-
oning wolves and coyotes, has been
selected. It is hoped that enough of
the predatory animals can be killed to
materially lessen the loss of stock,
but it will, Of course, be impossible to
kill all such animals. In order that
this may be accomplished it will be
necessary for every settler to wage
war against them.
From the experience OF forest Off
GERS it is believed that more good can
be accomplished by poisoning than by
any other method.

Renewed INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really Happened at Recep-
ton, and Gid Attendant 10
Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mics
tea yesterday afternoon detected en-
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: Poor Mrs. Mize, something is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger, and at last n
woman said: 1T smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: Mrs. Chal-
liss, look at your hat" Sure enough,
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near a lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had a great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss.
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she ever knew anything to
really happen at a reception. She
has given up going because nothing
ever happened, but now will start in
over again.-Atchison Globe.

kaolin Discovered.

Wellin.-There has been consider
able excitement in this part of the
state of late over the discovery of eX-
tensive beds of kaolin which has been
found in the hills and buttes of this
locality. Kaolin is the principau in
gredient used in the manufacture of
the famous Denver mud. 1t is also
the principal ingredient of "Fuller's
earth" Preparations are being made
to work the find TO some great extent
soon. 1t is thought the greater part
of the big buttes of this county and
Mellettee are well stocked with the
mineral.
