The safest and best way to mend
gloves that have rirred at the seam
or split across the back or palm is to
carefully buttonhole the edges of the
tear with fine silk matching exactl,

After both sides of the rent are but.

over and taking up each stitch. BY
using this method the gloves will new.

Can the American Cirl
Succeed in Business?

e,turers and writer's are discuss
ing this question. Meanwhile, the
moric1n girl is quietly going for-
ward and succeeding. And when she
does succeed. you will nd that she Is
constantly putting creation and sys-
TEN into operation. without them
she may be as industrious as a SPUR
rel in a cage; she is active, but she
is certainly not in business.
She must think clearly about her
work, and she must act directly. All
clear thinking tends to be creative,
and all direct action is systematic.
Do these habits or qualities de-
stroy the charm and attraction OF
women?
Well, if charm and attraction come
from a scrambled mind, from a sense
less way Of acting and speaking. in
stead of thoughtful and direct way.
then the answer is, Yes. Otherwise,
the noes have it, and it is a vote.
A woman can be as truly business
like in running a house as man can
be In running a manufacturing COM
pany. The problems are different in
size. but the same in nature.
An American girl can succeed in
business to her hearts content, or,
rather, to her heads content; for 1t
is the head she must use for the
smallest detail OF the work, to the
broadest plans she wants to carry
out.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
(By r.. j. EDWARDS.)

IN the presidential campaign of
1854 one of the most effective speak
ers was the late Emory Storrs Of Chi
cago. Mr.. Storrs was an enthusiastic
admirer Of James G. Blaine and he
entered into the campaign in behalf
Of Blaine with much zeal. His
speeches were SO effective that he
was sent by the Republican National
Committee TO many States and in Oc-
tober Of that year he visited New
England.
I met Mr.. Storrs on a train just
after he had completed his tour of
Connecticut. and after some conNer-
sation with him about his experiences
as I, stump speaker and what he
called the tricks Of the trade, which
he asserted were many If a stump
speaker was to prove effective, l
asked him what was the most in
teresting and impressive Of all his
experiences as Il stump speaker III the
West.
stump speaking IN the West he
replied. between 1870 and 1876 was

Will Harper, a brother Of Cora, were
tried before Justice Of the Peace
fobt. f. Belcher here today, and all
three were bound over to Superior
court There seems to be good eNi
dence that this trio killed Len Smith
and carried him to the place where
the body was found. Several younger
children of Len Smith were put on
the stand and saw they were locked
up in the kitchen While the diabolical
plot was carried out. Blood stains
about the house and blood stained

securing and scrubbing on day fol-

strong case against the son, MS VIE
and brother-in-laW.
There were witnesses put on who
stated they saw Will Smith with the
dead mans horse and wagon on the
road near the scene Of finding the
dead body about daybreak Tuesday.
1t is generally believed that these
prisoners murdered Smith ana
