Mrs. John Jacob Astor. who, at nineteen, was widowed by the Iii tanic disaster, will wear white-not black-as mourning for her hus- band.
 Mrs. Astor wished-indeed felt it obligatory on her to wear the deepest mourning But Mrs Force, her mother. believes she is too young to drape herself with black cloth and black crepe. Such funeral trappings might depress her spirits, even affect her health. at this the most important time of her life. For it is a fact established scientifically that prenatal influence is very pow erful.
 So Mrs. Force has overruled her daughters wishes and has ordered widows weeds of white for her. The gowns are cut on the simplest lines and. like the millinery. are being made at fashionable Fifth avenue mourning clothes store.
 Such dresses as are to be worn out of doors are of white crepe; the widow and lounging robes are of the finest lustreless silks and louisines.
 The very color, black, is depress- ing" Mrs. Force told a friend re- gently. and do not see why young girl like Madeleine should be wearing black crepe at time when, with all her sorrow, her greatest joy is to come to her. White will have better, more soothing effect upon her spirits, and seems to me far more appropriate for so young girl.'

MRS. CLEVELAND IN
 LETTER TESTS PUPILS

TRENTON, N. j., June 12. - As part of their examination the pupils of the eighth grade of many of the New Jersey grammar schools were required to answer a message from Mrs. Frances F. Cleveland, widow of former President Grover Cleveland Mrs. Cleveland sent a letter to the children, her object being to get the pupils to tell her what they con sidered the best thing which comes to them in their grammar school course. Mrs. Cleveland's letter fol- lows:
 Princeton, N. J., June 12, 1912. To the Pupils of the Grammar
 Schools of New Jersey:
 Dear Girls and Boys-The privilege has been given me to write let ter to all of you who are finishing your course in the grammar schools and are ready to go or to the high schools, and I want to take the op- portunity to congratulate you for several reasons
 You have had a fine chance to learn many things out of the books, some very interesting, others less so. perhaps, but still very well worth while, and to learn from your teach CTS and other school friends many things which have not come out of books at all, and you have learned to know these friends themselves.
 congratulate you on all this, and. further, l congratulate you that you have successfully accomplished all the hard work which the gram mar schools have required of you Some of you are glad that it is over; some of you are sorry, but I believe there is not one but goes from this first stage of school life with some feeling of regret, glad as you are to have finished and eager as you are to go on. And I want to ask if you do not feel that this is really my greatest reason for cOngratulating you, and if you do not see why l think 1t so, and also to ask you, each one, to tell why you personally have this little ache of regret In your heart
 Perhaps if you think it over all the time since you began your grammar school work and reflect on the things you have loved in your study, in your play, in your friend ships you will find the answer to my query, and that answer I should | like very much to know-what the girls and boys of the grammar schools of New Jersey consider the very best thing which comes to them in their grammar school course
 | With all good wishes, very sin cerely,

 DAY SMOKED IN U. s.

The internal revenue derived from tobacco consumed in the United States in a single year would build fourteen battleships of the first class; or it would pay the salary of the president for nearly 1000 years, according to Carl Werner. editor of the Tobacco Leaf and a recognized authority on tobacco matters. Dis cussing the use of tobacco in this Tobacco Leaf, MT. Werner says:
 The money spent by smokers for cigars only, not counting cigarettes. smoking and chewing tobacco. and snuff, would more than pay for the building of the Panama canal, be- sides taking care of the $50,000, 900 paid to the new French Canal com pany and to the Republic of Panama for property and franchises. In ad- dition to this it would cover the cost of fortifying the canal
 There are 21,71S,44S cigars burn ed up in the United States every twenty-four hours, 9O5, ,935 every hour, 15,0S2 every minute, and 251 every second
 AS to cigarettes, there are 23,- 6,190 of them consumed in the United States every day. Cigarette smokers in the United States, not counting those who roll their own smokes from tobacco, spent sG0- 645, 5,96G.3G for the little paper-covered rolls"

TOOK TAFT ON FAITH


 MT. Charles j. Bonaparte, who in troduce Colonel Roosevelt at the Lyric, spoke as follows:
 Fellow citizens: Three and a half years ago presided at great meet ing in this hall, introduced William Ii. laft to you as the Republican candidate for the presidency and urged all who heard me to vote for him in November, 1908.
 Now urge all of you and all Republicans in Maryland not to vote for William II. Taft, and in a few moments shall present to you the man, the only man. whose nomina- ton at Chicago will give the Repub- lican party a fighting chance for victory in November.
 The American people have had enough of MT. Taft: they didn't really want him in 1908; they could Tot get the man they wanted then and they took Mir. Taft on faith, because that man. the man they real ly wanted, said Taft would do. Four years ago the people called for Roosevelt. as they call for him now. but Roosevelt wouldn't come to them and sent Taft in his place; the peo- pie had to put up with Taft for want of Roosevelt; now Roosevelt will come and the people have no further use for Taft
 This is the long and short, the black and the white of the present situation; this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about MT. Taft. He knows as well as you and l do, indeed he knows even better than either you or I do, that in 1908 he was second choice, or rather no choice at all; that if Colonel Roosevelt could have been persuaded to take third term then, he himself would have hao ho 6host ol d chance TOT flrSt term, to say nothing of a second.
 Probably it isn't altogether pleasant for him to remember this; a man doesn't like to think his girl only married him because she could not get the man she wanted and she preferred him to being an old maid; and one would rather not be remind ed that his country made him presi- dent only because the man it want ed wouldn't serve and it had to have president of some kind.
 Tt wouldn't be very tactful or very polite for those in want of jobs to rub in these memories on MT Taft; people who get or keep federal office had better avoid such plainness of speech just now, but this Is no time to tickle anybody's vanity or to beat about the bush in saying what must be said for the public good; the present danger to the Republican party is too grave, the consequences to the country to momentous, for any one to be mealy- mouthed with a clear conscience. The plain truth is that the people didn't want Taft in 1908 and after more than three years trial, they want him so much less now than they did then that they won't have him at any price in 1912; if they can't get Roosevelt, mark my word, they'll take a Democrat"

OLD FAMILIES IN AMERICA.

A recent issue of the New York World has an editorial on "Old families in America" which is in teresting to those who may have a penchant for family trees" The World says:
 The London Times, in Its account of the loss of Colonel John Jacob Astor on the Titanic, observes that the Astors are among the not very numerous American families which count by generations"
 Nothing could be better illustrat i've of the erroneous British idea that everything in America is new" As a matter of fact, there are thous- ands of families in the United States that antedate the Astors Not to reckon with the descendants of the pioneers who settled Virginia or came over in the Mayflower or with Winthrop in the Arabela, the country is full of "old families" who trace their life from some of the thous- ands of immigrants who crossed the Atlantic to establish themselves in William Penn's colony, or to New York or Baltimore, or Savannah and Charleston
 President John Adams was forty eight years old when the founder of the Astor family, the original John Astor, came to this country in l7S3 If the Times wants any examples of an American family which counts by generations" it might take the Adams family as one which has | been here for nearly three centur. ies, and each successive generation of which down to the present time has contributed something to the public service. Is the British peer. age. as at present composed. much older.-Lexington (Ky.) Herald.

ITO confer independence upon

be as cruel to those people as it
would be to u.s.

BACK TO OLD HOME
FOR GLAD VACATION
James Burns, Superintendent Of the
National Cemetery to Spend Va
cation In Detroit, Mich.

On the first Of August, James Burns,
superintendent OF the national ceme-
terry will begin his one months vaca-
ton and will go to the home of his
birth and childhood at Detroit, Mich.
Mr.. Burns Is rather small in stature
but is large in heart and sentiment
and he wants to go back for time
at least to the hallowed spot where
THE whining schoolboy with his
sachel
And shining morning face, creeping
like snail unwllingly to school,
and counted the hours lost to drudg-
cry when no boyish sport was in sight.
He was in sentimental mood when
he recalled that eight years had
elapsed since he had visited the dear
old home with it's golden memories;
When time which steals our years
away
Shall steal our pleasures too,
The memory OF the past will stay
And half our Joy renew"
He would have at least some OF his
joys renewed 30 he planned a visit to
Detroit and is now fondly anticipating
the renewal in person of acquaintance
ship with old scenes and old friends.
Bon voyage to Detroit and -aturn,
