parent effort to remain young and fas cinating when she might so much better be older, interesting and real. ly charming.
 It is the easiest thing in the world for an elderly woman to look ridicu' lous.
 Every woman, young or old, should take pains to keep herself good to look at. Exercise and proper eating should keep her form in trim, and good taste should keep her gowns fitting 10 her apparent age and gen eral appearance. The elderly woman rightly costumed. will receive respect and admiration from all.

The trouble with a great many of the old efforts for the safe and sane Fourth" is that they have been too negative
 If the town fathers. the captains of industry and business and pro fessional men take their families out in the country for automobile rides, what do they expect the rest of lhe population is going to do during that period?
 The small boy has no automobile He has no money to hire one. If he had one. he too woald drop his fire crackers, and hie himself to the tall timber. Lacking such tools for amusement he takes those that he finds ready to hand. The fireworks store provides him all he wants for 50 cents.
 Fascinating as it may be to mur- der the sleep of sick people, and burn old mems fences, there are plenty of things he would even rather do A geod program of athletics will al ways draw off the red blood of the young fry from destruction and an. limited noise. The boy who has a Marathon race to run next day for that shiny cup he has seen in the jewellers window is not going to sit up all night firing of dynamite bombs under his neighbor's window
 It merely takes little time and money from our business men.

THIS ls REAL PROGRESS.

A real progressive move Of the right kind and at the same time one that is most drastic and epoch-mak- ing was taken by the democrats at Baltimore Thursday night when they passed the modified Bryan resolution declaring the party opposed to tho nomination of any candidate for pres ident who is a representative or un- der obligations to J. P. Morgan Thomas Ryan. August Belmont or any other members of the privilege hunting and favor. seeking class.
 This stand of the democrats puts the party on record as being active. ly in favor of popular government by the people in a most emphatic man. ner. The spirit of the Bryan resolu- ton is democratic and progressive and the people are now assured an opportunity to throw off the control of the interests and really govern themselves. It is certain that they will realize this opportunity and welcome it. by registering an over whelming victory for the democratic ticket at the polls next November.

Her Rule With Husbands.

Miss Kate Riverton Byles, one Of
the suffragist leaders Of Colorado,
said at a recent sufragist dinner in
Cripple Greek:
Opponents of woman's suffrage
would have you believe that vote
turns q woman into a monster. Yet,
when a young man, arriving at the
age of twenty-ope, gets the vote, does
be, or does he not, become monster?
But to hear the anti-suffragists talk
you'd think that every voting woman
was like that lady, rich in her own
right, to whom her husband said:
my suspicious are at last con-
tirmed We part forever from this
moment.
But the guilty lady retorted
haughtily:
mot at all, sir. Not at all. It's
my invariable rule to require q
months notice from every husband"
Underrated Man.
Victor Hemery, the noted French
racing automobilist, was praising an
American automobile.
II don't know why it should be &c
unpopular" he said perhaps it isn't
advertised enough. At any rate. it is
a very much underrated machine
