To Insure Standpat Ticket

''Haye you heard the latest scheme
in the political arena?" asked a local
politician of the Wenatchee World yes
terday. 1T is for the various parties
to have workers at the primaries to
prevent members Of other parties vot-
ing their tickets.
'The plan originated with the old
line republicans who propose to chal-
lenge every progressive and will OBJ
ject to him expressing his choice as
to any republican candidates unless he
agrees to vote for Taft.
"The effect Of the plan to prevent
progressives from voting the republi-
can ticket at the primaries will be to
force a complete separation of the par
ties, and is aimed to insure the nomi-
nation of none but standpatters for any
county or legislative Office"

Had 20 Rock.


Rocking himself slowly from side to
side, an old man sat In a Glasgow rail-
way carriage. His queer movements
attracted the attention of the other
passengers. Presently solemn look
ing man, dressed as clergyman, came
up to him and remarked sympathet-
ically:
MY venerable friend, you appear to
be suffering. May I ask If 1t is bodily
pain"
The venerable friend made no reply,
but continued his eccentric movements.
Perhaps" the clergyman went on
Solemnly, perhaps 1t is spiritual pain
Mayhap the soaring finger of consci-
ence has set its mark on you and
"Oh, shut upp' interrupted the old
man angrily. II wish folk wad mind
their ain business. Ye see," he con-
tinued, turning to the other occupants
Of the carriage, 81 bocht silver watch

MONTANA CITIES
ARE PROGRESSIVE
Great Falls Taxpayers Vote in Favor OF
BitulithiC Pavement

Just to show that they are not be-
hind the times in progress and good
judgment, Montana cities are gradu-
ally falling in line with the idea of hard
surfacing their streets with the best
known kind of pavement-bitulithic.
Great Falls is the latest one to
award a street paving contract in favor
of this bitulithic.
The council committee of investi-
CATION went to several cities and ex-
amined the results of long and hard
wear on all the various kinds of pave
ments in use today, and otherwise
went thoroughly into the merits Of
competitive materials. The sentiment
expressed concerning the result OF
their final decision is one of approval
practically without single exception.

A Prudent Editor.

In a record of DR.. Momerie's life and
work we find this story. with which he
once concluded a sermon:
When DR.. William Smith was bring,
ing out his Biblical dictionary. being a
prudent editor and understanding the
taste of the public extremely well, he
determined that the articles should
contain as much science as was com.
patible with orthodoxy and no more,
The one on "The Deluge" was to be
written by man whom the doctor
considered safe, but when 1t was fin
ished it turned out to be quite hetero
dox. There was no time to procure
another, as that part of the dictionary
had to appear at once. so when people
looked for "Deluge" they discovered
only See Flood" A fresh writer was
then found, but when his article was
returned 1t was worse than the first
1t was not allowed to appear: DR.. Smith
simply wrote: "Flood, see Noah" How
he managed with this article I don't
know.

Your Horse ShOd While You Wait

J. E. White, the enterprising Com
mercial street blacksmith has lately
added a long needed equipment to his
shop. Shooting large, heavy, and some
times young and vicious horses is Of
ten dangerous to both sheer and
horse. Mr.. White recently added a
patent horse shooting stock which
makes shoeing a pleasure to the horse
and comfort to the man. No danger
of hurting either horse or man. And
the job can be done so much quicker.
White can shoe your horse while you
wait. Go and try him.

How to Use old Stockings.

Don't throw away your old black
stockings when the feet are worn out
Cut the feet off and rip the stockings
open at the seams. Then sew them to-
gether. keeping the narrow parts to
gether, and of them make the top OF
your petticoats.
They make excellent stockinet tops
for silk ruffled underskirts that would
cost considerable If bought
After you have sewed the stocking
legs together fit them about the hips
sew on a waist band and trim off even
around the bottom.
Now make corded silk ruffie the
necessary length and attach 1t to the
stocking top by French seam. There
you have tia perfectly fitting petit
coat at about half the cost of the same
ready made.
A hint that the economical woman
will be sure to make use of.

HOW TO CARE FOR TEETH.
CASTLE Soap and Precipitate Of Chalk
Good Dentifrice.

CASTLE Soap and Precipitate of Chalk
Good Dentifrice.
The teeth add SO much to ones ap-
pearance that one cannot be too thor
ough In the care Of them.
They have a great deal Of work to do.
They aid in the digesting Of the food;
they are beautifers, and, like all things
which have several duties to perform,
they need constant attention and care.
II the teeth of an individual are kept
entirely free from particles of food and
tartar they will not become decayed,
but If they are not thoroughly kept
clean they will decay quickly.
After every meal any particles Of
food which may be lodged In the teeth
should be removed with a small piece
of dental floss. One should take espe-
cial care as to what tooth powders and
washes one uses. Many lotions and
powders contain injurious acids, which
instead of preserving and cleaning the
teeth ruin the enamel.
If the teeth are cleaned daily with
white CASTLE soap and precipitate of
chalk they can be kept in condition.
Occasionally they should be washed
with an antiseptic lotion.
One should never use a brush which
is too stiff, as 1t is hard on the enamel.
The teeth should be rubbed up and
down, so that the bristles can get in
between the teeth, removing all parti-
cles.
Many will take the greatest care to
keep the outside Of the teeth in perfect
condition, but neglect the back of them.
This needs just as much attention and,
although little harder to reach, should
be cleaned in the same way.

An Unlucky Draw.

Don Simplicio to dispel the clouds of
melancholy that cast gloom over his
spirits had taken to theater going. "Er
mani" was produced, and everybody
spoke highly of the performance, our
hero among the rest
But there is one fault about It." he
said on coming out of the house one
evening.
"What Is it?"
"I'll tell you. In the third act, where
the conspiracy takes place, they draw
lots to ascertain which of them is to
. kill Charles V. Now, what was drawn
the first night? Ernani. And the Sec
ond? Ernani. And the third? Ernani
again. Always Ernani. Six nights
running! Now, that's unlikely on the
face of 1t. For the same name to be
drawn once or twice may pass, but six
times running-that Is too much"
His remarks were received with a
regular ovation.-Giornale dele Dome.

Unspoken Words.

The kindly words that rise within the
heart
And thrill it with their sympathetic tone.
But die ere spoken, fail to play their part
And claim a merit that is not their own.
The kindly word unspoken is a sin
A sin that wraps itself in purest guise
And tells the heart that, doubling looks
within
That not in speech. but thought, the
virtue lies.
But tits not so. Another heart may thirst
For that king word, as Hagar in the
wild.
Poor banished Hagar prayed a we'll might
burst
From out the sand to save her parching
child.
And loving eyes that cannot see the mind
Will watch the expected movement Of
the lip.
All, can ye let its cutting silence wind
Around that heart and seattle 1t like a
whip?

He Caught a Tartar.

This one was told about an east end
dancing class, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. There was young woman
who thought a good deal about an
cestry and descent, and there was a
young man who thought that all such
stuff was snobbish. The two sat out
a dance together, and the girl mounted
her hobby almost at once.

How to Clean Lace Panels.

Very frequently lace door panels
shrink after washing, making 1t lmpos-
sible to use them again. To prevent
this follow these instructions: After
removing the panel from the door thor

Wash and starch the lace. slip in the
rods Immediately and replace the panel
on the door, Care should be observed
to pull the lace straight, lacking down
the sides II necessary to stretch the

 Eliminating all of the pleasing features of song, the gran choral effects, with organ accompa niment i'll the third act, and the other interesting and unusual embellishments, Denman Thompson s famous old New England idyl, The Old Homestead'' would still be one of the most compelling and thoroughly enjoy able, as it has been one of the best endur- ing plays of the modern American thea tre. More than thirty years ago. Den- man Thompson, himself one of the best character actors known to the stage, roughly but with marvellous aud seem lngly intuitivA knowledge of the most sincere phases of human emotions shaped an unpreteutious, small drama, "Joshua Whtcomb". Atthe outset it told its story in the brief space of one act. Even tuAlly it grew, with cumulative dramatic force and persuasive naturalness,- into a melo-dramatic comedy that filled the stage for 3 good three A0urs, and made so streuous m appeal to all classes of spectators that it's universality declared it's pre- eminence amoug the plays of it's class, giving it first place under 8 new title, The Old Homestead," in the es- teem of all patrons of the theatre.

 "A studied effort was made to couvey the impression to President Taft that MT. Roraback had sidestepped the din ner as a snub to him and notice that MT. Taft had better not set too much store on Connecticut support. The breath expended upon the ntterance of this bit of fiction came fast upoD the airy declaration that MT. Taft s visit was abs Olutely bereft of political significance None the less, the ejaculation of many who noticed Mr Koraback's absence. if phrase meaning perception of void is permissible, was, What can the matter be?
 "As a matter of unromantic fact, the mystery of MT. Roraback's absence en veloped something which is among the ordinary phenomena of existence. MT. Roraback had been overtaken by a cold several days before, and all who saw him on the day of the banquet knew that he was in no condition for anything but 8 bed That his illness was magnifed into deliberate purpose to snub the Presi- dent is fresh illustration of the fact that the gossip nerve in politics, as in other things, is most sensitively suscepti- ble to the slightest draught that blows" "

School Saw ingS

There must be lot of money lying around loose when the school children in Bridgeport will deposit l,6zS.49 in school banks in two weeks, or that they have been waiting for some one to in- struct them in the art and importance of saving. The postal-savings banks do not show that people are drawing money from other institutions in order to deposit in the former banks, but rather the savings come from 8 source not drawn on before. The same is true of the school banks, the children have evidently been spending their pennies for candies or other kinds of sweets, and just as soon as they heard of the art of saving they immediately adopted it. Interest in such movement will not continue unless the matter is kept before the little ones almost constantly, but in any event they are likely to acquire economy ill money matters that will remain. with them always. There will be some spendthrifts in the list that could hardly be avoided. but in the main the school bank serves a useful purpose.-New Britain Herald.
