"Once Mother Wyandotte had a beautiful family of young ones. Ten of

"As they grew older the chicks sometimes wandered If by then selves.
They seldom went far, and as they always m safely home Mother Wyan-

"Clever chicks like min al take careo Of themselves, she would say.
"Indeed, madam, your chicks re not half SO clever a mne' Mrs. Bantam

Practical Talks On Economy

now that women arr beginning to think a little nor Logically
n II the problems that are peculiarly theirs, many things which they
JINl have done In a haphazard way are being put o n a shessh oaHs
IL One of these i the spending Of money. And II eve there "as d
nronostton in which snars needed to be Strengthened out, 1t is his hand-
ling of the family purse.
A prominent club-woman who has the large vision that owe
the entfref field of womans work and interests, and SET tn dark pots ID
weak pots and the places where her path wanders around IN a laoyHn'h
and ever gets anywhere, proposes a chair in economy in womens coheses
And for the benefit of those who cannot 80 to cohese, ne r'her"o """
nce-a-week talks o the same important subject"
And by hiss she doesn't mean that women should b. taught to be more
economical. For most women have bee sprinting along ms pain 1or ase''
until they are worno ut body and spirit and sick II the thought OF economy:
The chief trouble has been that though they have been going o n tn rght
road they have wasted time and strength because they didn't know o
to make Roadway.
H. wants them shown how to make Roadway.
One thing she proposes is talks o shopping. She 0 told ne
kind of dress goods that will wear; the bstc class to choose tor certain
kinds of service; sorts that will not fade. that Will wash satisfactorily n
all such things as these. In fact, she wants pointed out "a economical
path through the mases If the shops, so thai a o VII o out with
value fol- her money, no matter what class o goods she may have bought.
And IN these days when many If us can't tell imitation wool ron tn
a ours would be most valuable. In the old days when women and
Of US are as ignorant Is a baby, of textiles and dyes, and are absolutely at
the mercy of those who purvey to us. 20
The plan she would have carried into toodstufs. Practical talks on
marketing would be given, and also what o buy from the point Of view of
nourishment would be taught. Such a course would result in reduced cost
of living and a. increased health rate for the family. @
How to apportion ones income would also be among the subjects OF
discussion. Il fact, there is a big field here for useful and needed work.
And it is % be hoped that this course, and these lectures, will soo become
realities. ~

POLICE DISCIPLINE.

Well, we'll, 1t is a pretty condition
Of affairs, isn't it, when a policeman
undertakes to assist a drunken man
home and gets drunk himself while
so doing. That Is the excuse given
l. q patrolman who has been sus-
pended on the charge Of being In
toxtcated while on duty. 1t seems,
according to his own story, he met a
drunken man who still had six bot
ties of beer with him. The officer at
once sinks himself to the same level
as the drunken man by getting
drunk himself. A fine exhibition, in
deed, of the majesty of the lawl
But what is a man doing carrying
six bottles Of beer at 8 o'clock in
the morning? A man perfectly So
Der might be able to get along with
six bottles of beer in his hands, but
a man would have a pretty hard
time carrying such a load In his
hands when he already had more Of
a load" inside him than he could
take care of.
But the policeman say he shared
the six bottles Of beer with the
man who was already unable to
take care Of himself. Thus instead
of protecting the man who was al
ready helpless, he, In a sense, helps
him to become more helpless.
But another feature stands out In
the excuse offered by the suspended
policeman. The man he met had
only six bottles of beer. AS the po-
liceman shared these we will at
least give him credit for not "hog-
ging it all' and robbing the helpless
man by drinking all the SIX bottles'
In justice to the ~patrolman let us
take it for granted that he made an
equal division and drank only three
Of the bottles. Now, the question
is, could a policeman get in the
condition that this particular police
man was found on the morning OF
the terra Gotta company fire, on
three bottles of beer? Beer is rec
ognized as a comparatively mild bev-
erage. To a man who has never
tasted liquor three bottles might

WITH OR WITHOUT LINING. WITH
FANCY OR PLAIN SLEEVES IN THREE
QUARTER OR FULL LENGTH.
The blouse, which Is closed invisibly at
the back and yet has the front edges over
Tapped, Is one of the newest and smartest
of the season. This model illustrates Just
these features. Another interesting feature
Is found In the double sleeves. The upper
ones are over-lapped to match the fronts
of the blouse, but they may be omitted
and only the plain sleeves beneath used
and these under sleeves can be made In
either three-quarter or full length. The
blouse is cut In front and back portions
and the sleeves are stitched to the arm
holes. Thereare two tucks over each shout
~tration, the blousei is shown madefrom white
charmeuse with yoke and under sleeves Of
all-over lace. In this case, the lining Is used.
When the lining is omitted, the yoke Is
stitched to the upper edge Of the blouse.
The design is an excellent one for tho
blouse to be combined with a skirt Of tho
same material to give the semi-princesse
effect that is 50 fashionable. Any sea-
sonable material with appropriate trim
ming is adapted to its making.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require al yards of material 27 or z
yards 36 or a. inches wide with IA yards
of a~ll-over lace IS inches wide for the yoke
and under sleeves.
The pattern 1852 Is cut In sizes for a "a,

ShrcWd Tactics Of Grow Resulted in
tine Death of Defenseless Preda-
tory Cobra.

# the testimony offered by an Eng
lish naturalist in Ceylon be given full
credence, then the cobra Is not SO
dangerous a snake as popular reputa-
ton makes him. In at least two IN
stances. reports this NATURE st,
cobras were chased by large birds.
In neither case did the snake seem
to have any hypnotic power, such as
is generally credited to snakes In
general.
A crow was seen fighting an In
truder into It's nest situated at the
very top of a tree. The crow was cir
cling at close quarters and peckins
hard at the nest, cawing loudly ali
the time. The nest was some 40 feet
above the ground.
Presently a snake came out of the
nest and started to descend, with the
crow in hot pursuit pecking at the
cobra continually. The snake took
refuge about ten feet down in 6
lclump Of dead ferns from which II
was chased out by the crow. 1t came
from branch to branch until II
reached a large horizontal limb
which stretched out about 30 feet.
Here the snake was at a great dis
advantage, inasmuch as 1t could moi
turn upon the crow. The latter seem
ed fully to appreciate the situation
and Its tactics were excellent. II
would peck hard at the spine close
to the tail and then peck lear the
snakes neck. At each peck pieces o.
the snakes skin were torn out;
%whereupon the cobra would lie quite
motionless. But just as soon as Il
evinced signs of again attempting tt
escape the crow would recommence
Its attacks with extraordinary surety
of aim. After IL minutes the cobrs
was dead.-Harper's Weekly.

WAYS OF PREPARING CHEAP
CUTS OF MEAT.

When preparing chopped meat, add
\ half pound Of chopped salt pork to

we'll done. The flavor Is much better
than using the beef alone.

Of meat cut from the fore quarter,
wipe with a damp cloth and cut in
one-inch pieces. Put into an earthen
dish, casserole Or bean pot, with an
onion, a carrot peeled and sliced, a
few sprigs Of parsley, two teaspoon
tuls Of salt aid a teaspoon Of pepper
oorns. Add two cups Of water and a
pint Of tomatoes, Dover and cook for
three and a half hours. A half hour
before serving time thicken with three
tablespoonfuls each OF butter and
-four creamed together. Remove the
vegetables and add a cup OF pease to
the meat.
Hungarian Goulasoh. - Take two
pounds Of round steak from the un-
der part, wipe with a damp cloth and
cut in n and a half inch pieces. Add
the meat to a quart Of boiling water
in which three slices Of onion Ia add
ed; let boil five minutes, then cover
and just simmer for an hour. Add a
few sliced potatoes and two dozen
small onions. Just before serving
thioken with three tablespoonfuls each
Of flour and butter creamed together.
Season with salt and pepper.

TAFT.

The New York Herald, which
prides itself on the unbiased news
that 1t publishes, but which refuses
to allow the name Of Roosevelt to
appear in its columns, says some
very funny things sometimes, The
funniest part Is that the Herald
takes what 1t a y seriously and
doubtless believes that it's readers
accept 1t as facts.
On Saturday the Herald had a
column story under a display head
telling the public that Taft was now
sure of victory, that he had just re-
ceived most encouraging news
from the west and that the third
termer." as the Herald invariably
calls Roosevelt, is now practically
eliminated.
Just imagine any person believing
such nonsense as that. The Idea of
encouraging news coming out OF the
west for Taft. State after state out
there is lining up in the Progressive
column and even the Democrats are
becoming alarmed at the inroads be-
ing made by Roosevelt on his pres
ent tour. In some states there Is no
Republican party at all. AS for the
third termer" being eliminated, he
was v more alive In his life,
thank you. If he were eliminated,
Wilson could have carried out his
original purpose of not making any
| campaign tours. Now he is not only
| going west himself, but Bryan is to
be put on Roosevelt's trail and all
the best speakers in the party are to
be sent to try to counterfeit the
wonderful effect of the present
Roosevelt tour. Poor Taft! The
| Herald Is the only paper that seems
to see any encouragement for him.
Chairman Hilles, of the Republican
National committee, ought to cable
his thanks to James Gordon Ben
nett, the owner of the Herald, who
makes his home in Paris, this coun-
try not being good enough for him.
