HELPING sGIRLS TO
 HELP THEMSELVES

One of the main features of the Camp Fire for Girls of America is to help restore the teaching function to mothers We want the mothers of our country to realize this, and we want them to give their daughters a chance to apply every bit of knowl- edge in home matters which they re-
 ceive in the schools, in practice in the home. At the same time we want the

just as well to make as sure as pos sible that the better will hold out as long as possible. For in every married life there comes the dose of the worse which is to a great ex- tent unavoidable. It can be pa1liated by the two aging together, instead of the wife becoming an old woman while the man is still in his vigorous prime.

THE SLIT SKIRT.

A new skirt resembles a. thing Of shreds and patches, or to give it another sinilitude, a penwiper for it IS notched at each seam and so hangs about the ankles like fringe.
 The hosiery and shoe makers ap- pIaud the vogue which necessitates the wearing of very beautiful speei- mems of stockings and shoes. But, oespate the novelty Of the idea, it is not gaining favor among the fastid- ious. f

 The penwiper skirt is also too ex- traordinary for the majority of won1- en, for. as has been said. the shred ded effect, though sensible, is not very elegant The best interpretation of the. vogue is the one that shows a bit at the left side Of the skirt, or, at the most, at both sides extending only about five inches upward and so ar ranged that when the Wearer walks 1t is not perceptible except as an ease giving attribute of the skirts meas urement.sk When the wearer sits her shoes and eckings may be perceived.

To prevent this rub wet sponge over the cane, on the under side, frequently. This will cause the cane to shrink and become taut- It will last longer.

John T. Fletcher, Jr., wanted in
Kenosha on charges of securing a
large sum of money under false pre-
lenses, was arrested late Saturday
evening at Jacksonville, Fla, and
Sheriff Andrew Stahl left Kenosha on
Sunday morning to go to the Florida
city to bring Fletcher to this city for
trial.
The man is charged with securing
$3.50 from the Peter Pirsch Company
here on Oct. 10, 1911. On the date
in question Fletcher came to Kenosha
and represented himself to officials of
the Pirsch company as the president
of the National Fire Appliance Com
pany Of Memphis, Tenn. He showed
lot of information in regard to the
business of that and similar organiza-
tions and he arranged to purchase some
appliances from the company. Viii
liam r. Pirsch made the sales to them
and when Fletcher started to leave
he drew a check ON the Mercantile
Bank of Memphis for $3.50. This he
turned over to Pirsch and received
the cash. Fletcher is said to be mem
Der of one of the best known families
ir Memphis and when the check was
returned marked "no funds' the Of
ficials of the Kenosha company at
once made efforts TO secure the collec-
ton of the money secured on the
check. Fletcher is alleged to have Of
fered a note in settlement, but this
never arrived and in May of this year
warrant was issued for the arrest of
Fletcher charging him with securing
money under false pretenses. Sheriff
Stahl then began search for the man
and he tracked him all over the
country.
Last Saturday he was notified that
! Fletcher had been located at Jackson.
vile, Fla, and he at once ordered the
| officials to arrest and hold him. In
the meantime extradition papers had
been secured from. Governor McGov,
ern. 1t is said that Fletcher has
served notice that he will not return
to Kenosha without a fight and
Sheriff stahl will undoubtedly have to
fight for the custody of the prisoner
Fletcher is said to have operated in
other cities Of the country and Sheriff
Stahl has received a message from the
sheriff at Catonia, N. G., asking that
the prisoner be held pending his in,
vestigation of his work in that city.

DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED
English Physician Gives Some Simple
Rules That VIII Aid Seekers
After Health.

a correspondent of the Medical
Times sends an interesting note on
deep breathing. The best time (he
says) seems to be Immediately before
retirlng to bed, as, doing nothing more
before lying down, the habit contin-
ues and becomes fixed; the window, OF
course, should be open more or less.
After breathing in as much as pos
slble through the nose tout, anyhow,
either mouth or nose), the nose
should be held by the thumb and fore
nnger with handkerchief for about
nfteen seconds to prevent the escape
or air, and thereby force the constitu-
ents OF the air over the system. This
should be repeated from four to eight
times at intervals of about half o min
Ute
The particular proof of this being
more effective than other methods
IS seen in the following experience:
After following the above method |

day my pulse quickens the same

CorneilIe Not in Want.

It has long been literary tradition
that Corneille, the great French poet
died in want. But it seems clearly es.
tablished that this is a mistake, dating
from an spocryphal and i'll interpreted
letter, since a recent study of various
old documents at Rouen shows that
he was possessed of property in lands
and houses which would have made
many latter day poet happy. In ad
dition he had his pension from the
king, although it apparently wasn't
very regularly paid. And following
the fashion of those days he was re-
compensed for his dedications tc
noble persons.
AS for the sale of "Polyeucte,
Horace" lie Cid" and the other
dramas over which SO many young
sters have groaned, through the mis-
taken policy of forcing students with
scarcely smattering Of French gram
mar to wade through the classics, they
doubtless had small sales, as sales
are reckoned now, but we are assured
that sell they did, and they may even
have tsen the best sellers Of their
day.

BYRON FOND OF CHILDREN
Frances Lady Shelley Describes the
Famous English Poet as
She Saw Him.

Frances Lady Shelley, who knew
most of the celebrated people be-
tween the dates 1857 and 1917, gives
a description of Lord Byron as she
first saw him in 1913:
From Althorp we went to Colonel
Leigh's, near Newmarket, for the
shooting. We stayed there a few
days. The house is far too small even
for the company it contained. Lord
Byron was there. Mrs. Leigh told me
that he spent most of the night writ
ing a poem which is to be called "The
Corsair." AS he did not leave his
room until after midday our inter
course was restricted.
HE is decidedly handsome and
can be very agreeable. He seems to
be easily put out by trifes and at
times looks terribly savage. He was
very patient with Mrs. Leigh's chill
dren, who are not in the least in awe
of him. He bore their distracting in
trusion into his room with imperturb-
able good humor. Mrs Leigh has
evidently great moral influence over
her brother, who listens with a sort
of playful acquiescence But | doubt
the permanence of their effect upon
his wayward nature"

NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY
Fathers Common Sense Answer
Should Have Driven Nonsense
From the Mind of Son.

A certain we'll known actor-an es-
tablished star of the first magnitude,
in fact-has son who has always Civ
en- the father q great deal of trouble.
Despite his inherited talent, which
would insure him permanent employ
ment on the stage, the son shows q
fondness for living on the income of
his parent. He can see no reason
why both of them should work.
One time the father got tired of adj
vancing money to the son. An es-
arrangement had been threatening for
a long time. Finally, the father seal
ed the climax when, in response to a
written touch" for $50, he sent the
boy a SIS note, with the added advice
that that was the last money he
should ever advance to him. To this
threat the son sent the following an
swer:
IF you do not send me the $50 I re-
Quested I'll use this S. in the purchase
Of revolver and blow my brains OUT
The father, in reply to this tragic
note, sent back this one:
Il have told you time and again that
you will have to quit wasting my mon
ey on useless luxuries. Don't spend
that S. for a revolver. Come up to
the house and I'll lend you NINE"

GIVES BACK WHAT is GIVEN
Life, In the Main, Is Just and Almost
Inevitably Returns Good
for Good.

The echo is the principle of life.
You get back from the world the mes
sage you give it.
Neither this nor any other truth is
true in I'll particulars, very often
you receive evil for your good and
good for your evil. harsh words when
you sent forth only kindness, and in
justice in return for your deeds hon.
est and we'll meant, but like all truths
1t is true in general.
In fact, the essence of every truth
Is generalization which the mind
is able to pick from mass cf con-
fusing particulars.
Is it a cold, hard-hearted, unfeeling
world to you? Then I very much fear
that you have given to it selfish,
narrow, egotistic heart.
Is it tolerably good sort of place,
and do you find men and women SIS a
rule just and kindly disposed? You
must have been yourself an honest
and generous nature.
Haven't you had days when every
thing seemed to go wrong? You said
you must have gotten out of bed with
the wrong foot first. You have
fumbled all you undertook, your fin
gers have been all thumbs, and ev-
eryone about you has seemed smit-
ten with the crouch.
In all this you have been but seeing
yourself as in glass. 1t is your
ugly mood that dilns the shining sur
face Of really pleasant world.
Nothing is so unerring as the total
universe. Time and nature seem now
and then slipshod, and do things un-
just and uncalled for, but they al
ways make 1t up in the long run and
pay every soul back hundred cents
on the dollar.--Woman's World.

The Egyptian lock, states the IRON
monger, was an assemblage of wooden
pins or bolts. 1t is possible that this
suggested to Bramah his remarkable
invention. The Roman lock was prac-
tically paddock; and it seems prob
able that the key was of Green origin.
In Latin countries the locksmith never
confined himself to mere door furni-
ture. At the very beginning now
adays in France-his art embraced all
the wrought ronwork which serves to
close and secure our dwellings, from
monumental garden gate and rail
ings to a simple latchkey. That art
reached its apogee about the fifteenth
or sixteenth century, so far as the
former class of work was concerned.
Some medieval specimens-the hinges
Of the doors at Notre Dame, for in
stance are so remarkable that en-
vious and humorous contemporaries
have not failed to hint that the smith
who executed them must have sold his
soul to the devil.

New Issue of Government
Bills to be Sent to Banks
Within a Few Weeks.
CHANGE TO BE A POPULAR ONE

Bankers expect to be circulating an
entirely new kind of paper money
within short time. Secretary of the
Treasury McVeagh has recently an
nounced that there is to be a radical
change in the greenback" currency.
Paper bills are to be made much
smaller and the design will probably
be different. At present a S. bill-as
well as other bills-is 8 by ~ inches.
1t is planned to cut this down to
about 21a by 61s inches.
In view of the fact that there is
no act regulating the size of paper
currency, it seems likely that there
should be nothing to stand in the way
of the proposed change. That such a
new sized bill for all denominations
would be desirable is the opinion of
many besides the secretary of the
treasury, and, in fact, the declaration
of the latter comes largely as the re,
suit of agitation of bankers and
others intimately interested in the
question.
Dealers in coin of the realm favor
the suggestion that paper money be
made smaller and less cumbersome.
The president of one of the largest in
stitutions has even gone so far as to
say that all bills should be the size of
the % cent certificate that is current in
Canada, and predicts that the change
will probably be much greater than
was at first suggested.
It is predicted that as soon as this
new style currency is given circulation
that there will be wild scramble for
it just as there was for the new Lin
coin pennies, and bankers in this city
have already taken steps to get an
early and generous allotment of the
smaller paper money as soon as it has
been issued.

Remarriaae in France.

The marriage or rather remarriage
statistics in the mairies of Paris
made sad reading for the sentimental
lists. OF 2,270 disconsolate widowers
148 remarry within a year. The de-
fections increase with terrible rapid
ity in the second year, which sees 628
relapses from the ranks of mourners.
At the end of the third year only
thirty-seven widowers remain. With
the widows it is even worse. None
remarry within the first year of their
husbands decease, but it is feared
that this is due not to fidelity but to
the strict legal veto which obtains in
France. Once the laws delay is at
an end they go off with vertiginous
rapidity. OF 1907 weeping widows In
eighteen months only four had not
exchanged their weeds for wedding
garments

Cribs for the Baby eueats.

Among the Injuries, comforts and
conveniences nowadays provided by
the great hotel are cribs for the baby
guests. Even in the finest hotels these
are comparatively recent addition
to the house equipment.
Up to about five years ago when a
separate bed was required for baby 8
use a cot was put into the room and
many persons travelling for the first
time with baby still ask for a cot.
They are agreeably surprised when in
formed that crib can be supplied if
q aired. In a big hotel there may
now be kept ready for use a dozen
cribs in the care of the housekeeper;
cribs simple but OF the latest style Of
construction, ready to be sent when
ever they are wanted.

TranspIanted Rubber Trees Thrive.

Experiments covering a number of
years in transplanting rubber trees
from the original stock seem now to
have justified the efforts of the grow
ers. The former supply came almost
entirely from the district bordering
the Amazon and it's feeders, but in
recent years transplanting has been
practiced on a rather large scale, the
original stock having been taken
from the old rubber districts and
cultivated in portions of Brazil remote
from the big river. One company,
during the last year, gathered 193,75O
pounds Of rubber, compared with
41,983 pounds In 1910. The estimate
for the CURRENT year is $4,000 pounds,
all of which comes from the interior,
far from the Amazon.-Popular Me-
