Indiana's Crop of vice-Presidents

The selection of candidates for
wice-president from Indiana seems to
be growing more and more in favor.
The first Indianan to be nominated
for the high Office was George w.
Julian, in 1852, on a free soil ticket,
but he made little Roadway. Twenty
years later, as a liberal, he received
five electoral votes for the vice-pres-
idency.
SCHUYLER Colfax was the first vice
president to call Indiana his home
He was elected in 1868. William H.
English, an Indianan, was overborne
in 1880 by Chester A. Arthur. The
first effort of Thomas A. Hendricks
was a failure, but he was successful
in 1884. Then to the string of Indi-
ana vice-presidential nominees came
Charles w. Fairbanks, who succeed
ed in reaching the goal. In 1908
John w. Kern, a democrat and Indi-
anan, was nominated, only to be
beaten by James S. Sherman of New
York.
Still Indiana hungers to place her
sons in the presidency, and at
the recent convention in Baltimore
Thos. R. Marshall was made the nom
inee of the democratic party.
It may be Roosevelt will decide on
a Hoosier as his running mate.

much the democrats spent trying to
elect Parker in 1904. Mr.. Tom Tag

THE STORY OF A RAG DOLL.

ny INA was a rag doll. She had a
mi painted nose and eyes. her
mouth was also little line OF
pink painted, and had a black
very real.
Now Nina had been very hap>y, and
old not think much about her looks
until F1oretta came to live in the house.
It all happened this way. At Christ
mas came a box from the city Santa
Claus, and II was Floretta, she had
real hair which hung in golden curls,
Ing like Nina's, but bright, and her
cheeks were a bright pink, and her
dress was pink, with little flowers all
Nina had thought that in all the
world there could not be anything more
beautiful than Floretta, and she would
sit and stare for hours at time.
It did not enter her mind to be un-
until Robin Hood, who had been Nina's
friend for many years, spent all his
time beside F1oretta, and never so
much as looked at poor Nina for a

around on wheels. He wore a red coat
and green trousers, and in his hand,
close by his side, he carried sword. -,
and asleep Floretta heard sound of
crying. She. raised her head from her
pillow and listened. 1t came from the
! corner where Nina slept.
l. Very softly Floretta got out OF her
bed and crept over to Nina S bed.
What is the matter?" she asked
IT am SO unhappy" sobbed poor Nina,
my hair is only silk and my nose is
fiat on my face, and even my mouth Is
painted. I am so ugly 1 wish l had
never been born, and you are so beau
ttful that my little mother never plays
with me now, and even Robin Hood,
who used to talk to me all day never
says word to me. Oh! dear, how mis-
cradle I am
you poor dear" said Floretta, put
ting her arm around her. stop crying
and listen to me and you will see that
You have many things for which to be
thankful and most of all you will learn
why you are better off as you are, and
not like poor me-"
Not wish to be like you?" asked
Nina, drying her eyes and looking in
astonishment at Floretta, why I can
not think Of anything in the world
more to be desired"
Listen" said Floretta. sitting on the
bed beside Nina.
, did you ever stop to think of the
constant danger there is for me? There
10 never a moment when I am not in
fear of my life"
What do you mean?" asked Nina.
Just think what would happen /.
in trembling tones, II should be broken
into atoms, while you, my dear, never
have to give a thought to that. You
will outlive me and live to see your
grandchildren, while I know that my
life will be short, and I do not know
now it will end; A dog might pick me
the wall" and Floretta covered her
face with her hands at the terrible
thought.

A comparatively new method of max

decorations were, in the main, a series
Of gonietric designs, highly polished.

The demand for white footwear is
greater than the supply these days. but

and fourteen button styles then there
are pumps. ties, and Oxfords, with and

When one can purchase a well made,

side should an accident befall me. He

your worth"
BY this time Nina was comforting
Floretta. and thinking how fortunate
she was not to be made of perishable
material.
A few days after this Florctta's little
mother dropped her and crushed one
side Of her head and the next morning
Robin Hood came to Nina and said,
You should see Floretta. she looks
terrible. her head is broken and she will
never lcol: as she did before, I really
cannot bear to look at her, and he sat
down beside Nina.
YOU needn't sit here" said Nina. II

hard-hcarted creature to desert poor
Floretta when she Is suffering and in

her"
Robin Hood looked after Nina as she
walked away, what silly creature I
was to be sure he said. now I have
lost both of them md shall have no one
to talk to. I wish had not been SO un-

Ard so Robin Hood was left to think
over his treatment OF Nina while she
went to Floretta and tried to comfort
her She was sure they could mend her
broken head.

Housekeepers' Hints.

To remove paint from aprons soak
the paint stains in a little paraffi and
moved, then wash in the ordinary way.
Felt carpet Is apt to get dusty around
the edges. After sweeping, go over II
with a damp duster and you will be
surprised how much dust comes up and
how bright the felt will look after.
When cleaning out a fireplace sprinkle
will prevent the dust from flying about,
and will keep the room wonderfully
clean. This hint should be remembered
for a sick room.
Dusty and faded straw hats may be
greatly improved by rubbing them well
all over with a piece of velvet the
same color as the straw. This freshens
them up wonderfully.
Egg stains-Egg stains on table linen
should be soaked in cold water before
being sent to the laundry. The stains
come out quite easily II treated in this
way. but hot water sets them and
makes them doubly difficult to remove.

tobacco ashes. Sometimes a room be-
comes so permeated with 1t that 1t is
hardly possible for delicate persons to
breathe in 1t. No amount of ventilation
or cleaning seems to have much effect
once the tobacco odor has become a
Distinguishing feature of the smoking
room or den.
; Here is a remedy suggested by a
housewife who suffered and overcame:
Close the room up we'll overnight, with
doors and windows tightly shut, and
leave in 1t large pail full of water
, with a few whisps of straw. For some
treason the water and straw together
absorb the smoke and even take the
odor of ashes. Needless to say, all
tdiscoverable ashes should previously
have been removed and thrown away.

Keeping Lemons Fresh.

Lemon and water taken early each
morning has become a common drink
among women who value their COM
plcxions Since sugar is not used. there
is no danger Of acid even for goutv
ana rheumatic persons Do not use too
much lemon. the iuice OF third or half
is enough. To keep the cult lemon fresh
for several days Is something OF a
problem. II you put a cut lemon up
side down in 4 cup or On waNed paper
and then fold up the paper 1t will keep
fresh quite a while.
