The Topsy-Turvy Girl Finds Il Hard

Quarters-1e Neat At
Any Cost.

1t 1s hard to keep crowded quarters
neat. as the girl Of one room or the
nousekeeper Of small house sorrow
tully knows. In days when there were
great linen chests, huge closets and
rover belongings. the problem was
simpler Then our grandparents made
q fetish Of neatness.
II only In the interest of ones
nerves place for everything needed
should be cultivated. 1t is not restful
to hunt madly for gloves or overshoes;
to make hay in . drawer In desperate
search for q missing article; to turn
household upside down with frantic
cries. Mother. where is my hat?
Who's taken my mileage book? I
know I'll miss the train"
The girl who works must be neat
and In order. Mere surface cleanness
Will not do. II there is lack of system
there are sure to be painful mistakes
and sharp reprimands. For her own
sake q girl should be orderly: the
time taken hunting ones belongings
Is that much time lost. Work in ar
rears Is bad business.

the elimination drastic. 1t is surpris-
ing how much we can get along with
out. To own no more things at one
time than one needs means more
placid life.
II naturally careless and without
early training in neatness, q woman
should take herself severely in hand.
She should determine to be neat at
any cost. This means living more
slowly. Half the secret Of misplaced be-
longings is planning more for our day
than there are hours for accomplish

Colonel Roosevelt is the possessor of
lock of hair cut from the head of
Abraham Lincoln the night of the as
sassination. 1t was presented to him
in 1906 by John Hay. former Secretary
of State in the Cabinets of both McKin-

known by the publication of the private
correspondence OF John Hay. which has
been compiled by his wife, and will be
restricted to personal circulation.
In this work a letter appears which
shows Mr.. Hay gave the ring to Colonel
(then PresidenD Roosevelt on the day
before his inauguration, with the re-
quest that II be worn on that day. The
letter explains that the hair is inclosed
in a seal ring, and was cut from Lin

the dying President. Mr.. Hay obtained
1t from the doctors son. In closing
the letter Mr., Hay says to the colonel:

SERIOUS BREAK IN SECURITIES, READ.
ING HEADING THE LIST,
WITH 3 SO POINTS.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Immediately
on the opening the bears started in an
endeavor to turn the tide in their favor.
They were encouraged by the rains IN
the flooded districts, less favorable crop
reports and by a reported hitch In the
attempts to settle the coal miners
troubles. This latter influence was
made the most of. and the coalers were
attacked with considerable effect, and
with but little recuperative power on
the covering of shorts at the profit
offered.
Looking over the entire list the net
posses were not very important, but
the leaders, Steel, Reading, Lehigh
Valley, and Union Pacific were all
lower.
A pronounced raid was made on
Canadian Pacific in the first hour, but
this was checked after 2 point drop
had been forced, and in the recuperation
there was more strength and a net
advance for the day was scored, the
2 points being recovered and Y Of a
point net additional.
The rest of the rails showed u point
loss to fairly steady at a parity with
the final figures of Wednesday, the best
