Y. VI. c. A. BRIDAL CHAMBER >

Thought the Y. NJ. c. A. is a COM
paratively new building there is one
room in the dormitories that already
has a number of stories and name
attached to it The name is "the bri-
dal chamber" and the stories all have
to do with matrimony.
The room is No. 7. The name was
given it after Mrs. Dierdorf, the ma
tron of the dormitories, had noticed
that every man who had lived in that
room had moved out to get married.
She told a few friends and the story
went the rounds.
Before the story was started Will
liam p. Esterly, who had roomed In
the building, made arrangements to
move into No. 7. The occupant at that
time was moving out because of his
approaching marriage. Stogie Bill,
or Firestone Bill Esterly, as he is
generally called, is a bachelor in good
standing. He was in the hall near
No. 7 when he first heard the his
tory of the room. He quietly an
nounced that he would not live in No.
7, but would remain where he was.
The matron said otherwise. She
had arranged to give another the
room occupied by Esterly. She told
him firmly that he was to room In
No. I, and that she would give him
a week to move. Esterly moved, and
those who live in the dormitories are
watching the result. They are Won
dering whether the bridal chamber
will reform Esterly or whether the
record established by the room will
be indianapolis News.

HE FOOLED HIS LAWYER.

A story is going the rounds of how
one of Suffolk county's lawyers was
fooled by a~client. A tramp, arraign-
ed for vagrancy, was under suspicion
of having taken the watch of an eld-
erly gentlemen who was eager to ap-
pear against him. The lawyer took
pity upon the unfortunate pedestrian
and, convinced that he was not guilty,
took the stand in his behalf and plead
ed for him so strongly that the judge
discharged him.
Stepping from the dock the freed
man followed the lawyer to the COR
ridor and in a secluded spot ap-
preached him to express his graft
tude. He said: "Honored sir; I'm
sorry 1 amt got no money to give you
but l feel highly grateful and wish to
repay YOU"
Fumbling among the folds of his
tattered garments he produced a
shiny object and, placing it in the
lawyers hand, said, Here, take the
watch. Boston Traveller.

THE REALM FEMININE
For summer Cushions.

Any woman can make herself a
number of inexpensive cushions for
the summer bungalow or the porch
of the little house in the country by
cutting a roll of cotton batting into
small squares and heating it in bak-
ing pan in the oven for half an hour
Each little square of cotton will fluff
up to twice its natural size, and Will
be as light as feather; but you must
take care not to have the oven too
hot or 1t will scorch.
Use half roll of cotton for each
pillow, filling muslin slip eighteen
inches square. Cover this with a
dainty slip of some material that will
wash well-silkoline, flowered. chint-
zes and chetonne or a gayly stamped
cover that can be bought for the pur-
pose-and your summer cushions will
be a joy for the entire season. 49,

Summer Hatnins.

Small handmade lace medallions Of
Irish crochet are delightful little COW
ers for pins worn in the summer hat.
Select smooth-topped hatpins, any
size You like best, although it is best
not to have them over one inch and
half in diameter, and cover their
tops with pieces of dark-colored silk
or satin. Have white satin for the
all-white hat, and crochet dainty lace
covers, placing little lace flower in
the center of each. The pintop is
covered with silk first and then the
lace cover is sewed on underneath the
pins head. These can be easily taken
off and washed If they become soiled.

have been backing him against Taf.
personality will follow him through
the fall campaign without realizing
that as real progressive he is greatly
lacking when compared to Woodrow
Wilson.
Brigade No. will be the most sub
stantial support Roosevelt will have
and it will be composed of men like
Perkins, Hanna and Mccormick, who
represent great wealth and who want
Roosevelt in order to head off more
effective reformer. They don't mind
his stirring ways and his fierce de-
nunciations so long as he still favors
q tariff for protection and as long as
he is of the view that the antitrust
law cannot and should not be en-
forced. They are interested in what
he says not in the pitch of his voice.
Brigade No. 3 will be the noisiest
support Roosevelt will have and it
will be made up of politicians who
care little about principles but who
like the colonels popularity because
it indicates a chance of success and
success is what they are after. There
were many such demagogues in the
Roosevelt camp in Chicago, some of
them hailing from Oregon. There
are some very conspicuous demagogues
ia the Portland third party contingent
and among the colonel's hackers
throughout the state. Many Of them
have been progressive for a short
time only. But they are ready to
beat the drums strong for the colonel
IL they can only be sure that drum
beating will be popular.
AS a fighting force for hard cam
paign the three elements Of Roose-
velt's strength above described could
be greatly improved upon. 1t is a
heterogeneous army and wont hold
together. Those of the first class, to-
wit: the sincere progressives, will go
TO Wilson IL they are properly edu-
Gated during the campaign. They
really belong in the Wilson camp and
hosts Of them have already gone over.
Substantial supporters like Perkins
and Hanna are not likely to go the
limit for the colonel because they will
be dubious of success. With Taft and
Roosevelt both in the race 1t will be
logical for them to anticipate the ell
ection of Wilson and they may figure
that money appropriated to back the
colonel will be poorly invested. So
they won't dig extremely deep.

The weakness Of the demagogic

back man merely because they

Although DR.. McClements offered to re-
