The young man said he would be
only too delighted.
The two elegant nantes in the lat

COMFORT In KITCHEN
HOW A LITTLE THOUGHTFUL.
NESS CAN TIGHTEN LABOR.

Nothing lightens the labor Of the
farmers wife, and all other wives,

Convenience begets cheerfulness
and a sunny disposition. 1t is the

to their voices. Overcome this by ar
ranging everything about the kitchen
just as convenient as possible.

Never, never, never expose the
child to any contagious disease in or

His Coming Out.

A fond Chicago mother is to give a
coming-out party for Ter son. OF
course, we have no means of know
ing the youth, but we fancy he must
be exactly that kind of son-and we
await with bated anxiety a full de-
scription of his coming-out costume.
What will be done with the gentle
youth after this severe social ordeal
isn't stated, but it can be believed
that he is to be rushed around to all
sorts of society functions-and, of
course, carefully guarded against the
matrimonial designs of fortune-hunt-
ing females.

Apples and Oranges.

Apples and sweet oranges make a
good marmalade cooked down togeth'

year apples are apt to be tasteless,
and these are just the kind of apples
to use, as the oranges impart their
flavor to the whole mass and make II
practically all orange.

IFrom stan Correspondent.I

TRENTON. y. j., Dec 19.-Gov-
ernor Wilson is at the State House
today, catching up with routine bust
ness and looking into the proposed
revision of State corpora ton laws.
A change in the New Jersey cor
poration statutes will probably be
taken up by the Legislature at the
next session.
Hitherto the Governor has asserted
that he could not make a campaign
against the big trusts, most of which
are incorporated in this State. be-
cause he had at no time the united
cooperation of the Legislature.
Now that he has a Democratic
Legislature he is expected to make
an effort to have some of his cor
poration ideas adopted.
He had a conference at the State
House with former Judge Bennett
Van Syckel and Chancellor Edward
Walker about this subject.
The information the Governor
CLEANS from these judicial experts he
will probably incorporate in his mes
sage to the Legislature. which is
now in course of preparation.
Assemblyman Leon r. Taylor of
Monmouth county, who will be the
next speaker of the Assembly, called
on the Governor this morning. Mr.
Taylor said that the Governor was
satisfied with the selection of himself
as the choice of the Democrats for
speaker, although Mr.. Taylor said the
Governor was in favor of the selec-
tion of Mr.. Henssessey for the House
presiding officer.
Mr.. Taylor said legislation was dis
cussed in a general way with the
Governor. He said that a conference
of the Democratic legisla tors would
probably be held before the Legisla-
ture goes into session to go over the
platform pledges.
The selection of the House commit
tees was not discussed with Governor
