A kino Who Would 30 Loved.


An eccentric monarch was Frederick
the Great, whom his subjects called
"Old Fritz" One day in passing along
the streets of Berlin he noticed that
man left the sidewalk as he approach
ed and crossed over to the other side
Of the street. The king called him
back and asked why he had done so.
The poor fellow began to tremble
and stammered, "Because-you are
the king, and lam afraid of you"
Afraid of me.' shouted the mon
arch. II don't want my subjects to be
afraid Of me, but to love me. l will
teach you a lesson" And he began to
beat the man with his cane, crying out:
Next time when you meet me don't
cross the street, but greet me with
eyes that betoken love. Do you I'M
derstand?"
And the unlucky culprit, cringing be-
meath the vigorous blows of the royal
walking stick. promised that he would
not fear but love the king.

HOW TO PUT AWAY FUhS.
Simple Method For Safely Storing Gar
msnts During Summer.

1t is often declared that the storing
economy, but it is one which the wom-
an who possesses valuable furS seldom
attempts to practice. The very fact Of
her being able to buy such things ar
CUES that when warm weather comes
along the problem Of storage is prompt
ly solved by her maid going to the tele-
phone and ringing up a good firm of
furriers with instructions to call for
madam's beautiful peltry next morn
ing. The furs go away, are cleaned
and lie in an arctic atmosphere until
October comes nipping and madam
wants them again.
But the average woman, with her one
fur coat or her muff and stole, seldom
wishes to involve the expense entailed
by such proceeding. and it is not en-
tirely necessary that she should.
Cleaning is the first matter to be con-
sidered when putting away furs. A
sunny, breezy day should be chosen for
the task, and each article beaten out of
doors with a light cane beaten and left
for some hours to become thoroughly
aired. Notice whether any fluff flies
from the fur during the beating. as
this is sure sign that the moths have
been there already.
The coarser sorts of fur, such as are
used for heavy motor coats, will stand
a firm brushing with a fairly hard
brush, but a softer brush must be used
for the more delicate skins. which
| should also be brushed after their beat
ing.
| Bran which has been heated in the
| oven and then rubbed into the fur is an
excellent cleansing medium. Powdered
magnesia may be used in the same way
for white furs. After another shaking
the furs are ready to be put away.
| A stout chest lined with tarred paper
is an excellent storing place. Each gar
ment should be wrapped in newspaper
moths dislike the odor of the ink
and whatever moth preventive the own.
er uses should be literally applied.
Camphor and red pepper are not in
the high favor they enjoyed in our
mothers days. 1t is not now consider
ed necessary to have anything so disa-
| greeable about ones belongings. and
there is a revival Of the old world Gus
tom of using cloves and cinnamon,
| tonquin beans and orris root. Little
! muslin bags of cedar wood shavinas
distributed among the furs are an ex
cellent moth preventative.
If you have no suitable chest in
which to store your furs a good plan
is to make bags of strong unbleached
linen for each article. Make them so
that they draw up securely at the top.
and stitch sachets containing your pet
moth scarer to their insides. These
bags may hang in a wardrobe. where
they will be convenient for the occa-
sional overhauling which the most
carefully put away furs should have
once or twice during the summer.

A NEGRO FEDERAL
OFFICER A TARGET
For Bitter Opposition in the
Ranks of the American
Bar Association.
(National News Association

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 26.-The
battle which has been going on in
the American Bar association for
more than a year over the question
of ousting Assistant Attorney General
William Fl. Lewis, the Boston negro
and former Harvard athlete, Is ex-
pected to come to a head in the con-
yention of the organization which
opens here on Tuesday next. The OBJ
lection to Lewis, which his friends
declare is purely racial, threatens to
split the association wide open and
it is declared that Attorney General
Wickersham is coming here prepared
TO champion his cause in finish fight.
The two delegates who are leading
the opposition to Lewis are George
Whitlock of Baltimore, and Edward
Farrar of New Orleans.
Lewis Was Expelled.
The opposition to Lewis developed
soon after he became a member, more
than year ago. He was proposed
by the local council of Boston, and
soon afterwards was advised of his
election. Several months later, after
MS name mad D0en sent 10 the senate
by President Taft for confirmation as
assistant attorney general, Lewis was
advised by the executive committee
of the association that he was viewed
as undesirable" that it was not
known when he was elected that he
was a negro. The executive commit
tee met in January last and adopted
a resolution expelling Lewis from
membership.
Attorney General Wickersham i'm
mediately made publication his belief
that the action of the executive COM
mittee was indefensible, and declared
his purpose to fight the question out
at the next session of the association.
ramiflcation of the Lewis incident
will be an endeavor to amend the
constitution to exclude all negroes
from membership.
Another big feature of the conven-
ton will be the delivery of an address
on "The New Nationalism," by Frank
B. Kellogg, the noted trust buster
Of Minnesota.
The convention will last three days,
August 27, % and 20.

Speaking Scotch.

The race Of Scotch speaking people
is passing away, and not many are left
to tell the story in the rich brogue OF
the national tongue. And there was al
ways story to tell, SO that one on this

who had been educated in England re-
turned to his family in Scotland and
was shown off by admiring friends.

Whether his term is long or short.
And follows innocent posterity

Herein lies the whole gist of Grim

For the time must come, the good

Humanity cannot cease TO exist un-

For this is one of the cruel injus-

And which il is striving to rectify.
To minimize social demarkation and
to bring humanity to level of physi.

And thus give that famous equality

the Socialists.

Bells and Bees.

1t is a foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing of bells or hanging" Of tin
pans will cause swarm of bees to set
tie. The real origin of this custom
dated back to the reign of Alfred the
Great, who, in order to prevent dis
putes regarding the ownership of a
swarm, ordered that the owner should
always ring a bell when his bees
swarmed, and ever since then the good
farmers wife has been rushing out
with ringing bells whenever the bees
swarmed, and the fact that they set
tied verified, in her own mind, the be-
lief that the bell did it.-London Stand

one occasion in 1856 Mr.. Chamberlain
was staying at Malwood, Sir Williams
home. The guests were inscribine

Mr.. Chamberlain, and he turned the

Three Words Of Strenoth


There are three lessons L would write,
Three words with burning pen.
In tracings of eternal light
E Upon the hearts of men:
Have hope. Though clouds environ round
And Gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put off the shadow from thy brow.
No night but hath its morn.
Have faith. Where'er thy bark is driven,
The calm's disport. the tempest's mirth.
Know this God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have love-not love alone for one.
But man as man thy brother call
And scatter, like the circling sun.
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul,
Hope, faith and love. and thou shalt
find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll.
Light when thou else vert blind.
