THE WISHING CAP.

IT ANS plodded along the dusty

way long, and he was very
tired dragging behind him the
cart OF vegetables to town. But he
pulled his cap over his wet brow and
trudged on till he could see the white
church spires through the green trees.
Then he thought he would rest a bit
before finishing the journey. So down
In the cool shade of an old oak he
dropped, and as there was no one
about to hear him he began to grum-
BILE about the weather.
Now, Hans was always grumbling.
1t was too hot, or too cold, or too
damp, or too dry. The weather never
suited him. So here In the cool woods
he complained all he wanted to, as he
thought II would disturb no one. But
he was mistaken. For out from under
a. bush hoped a cute little Brownie In
a cloak like a tiny monk.
Look here, what's troubling you,
fellow?" exclaimed the Brownie, rub

Longer Life for the Broom

A little Intelligent care Will make
quite a noticeable difference in the work
a broom will do and the length of time
II will wear. A broom that is used
every day should be washed once a
week and this is most easily done by
preparing a bucketful of suds made by
dissolving a tablespoon of Gold Dust
washing powder in hot water; dip the
broom up and down in these suds until
the straws are cleaned and bright: then
rinse and hang up to dry. II a new
broom is dipped in hot suds before used.
the straws will be toughened and will
not break 50 easily. Always hang the
broom up after 1t is used.

One of the chief pleasures Of walk
ing is the fresh air one takes into one S
lungs. Therefore. the walk-whether
short or long. brisk or slow-that
doesn't include deep breathing achieves
very little good. As INDUCED in by
persons under ordinary conditions it is
more matter of recreation than eN-
ercise.
To a certain extent it viii develop
the muscles of the legs. but may leave
the other parts of the body just as
fabby as they were in the beginning.
There are many traditions attached to
walking. and it is surrounded with a
halo that might induce one to imagine
that it stands high in the field of ex-
ercise.
Remarkably few people are qualified
to engage in a cross country walk, al
though the majority of business men
ina CINE that the drains would not be
excessive. Travelling through the
woods with rod and gun produces much
more beneficial results. because 1t car
ries with it many forms OF activity
that are not found in the ordinary
walk Hunting and fishing are more
rigorous and also carry with them a
greater zest. This mental enjoyment
and interest are also as important as
the exercise itself AS one has OFTEN
heard, the mental attitude Is even
more important than the physical. IL

a gentleman residing in San Fran
cisco writes to me to explain that walk
ing is his favorite exercise. He says
that he walks two and one-half miles
to his store every morning. and the
same distance each evening. unless the
weather forbids He attributes a con-
siderabl part of his material success
to this Professionalism nearly every
working day in the year
Walking has it's virtues and also Its
limitations. First. it must be engaged
in regularly: second. it must be brisk
to work up perspira-
ton: third. it must be followed by a
good bath
The only exception to these rules Is
the cross-country walk. The United
States Army engages in this sort OF
exercise about once year. Occasion
ally militia companies belonging to the
National Guard enter upon the forced
march. AS a result many of those VINO
participate are fit subjects for hos
nital for days and weeks following the
experience.
The cross-country walk is good for
those who make a practice or It.
These people aid to cover twenty miles
or more a day. They do this for ten,
twenty. thirty or more days, and gen
erally pay strict attention to what tney

SENATE RECALLS NOMINATION.
Will Act Again Next Week on Ap-
pointment of Romero.

The Senate last night recalled the nomi-
nation of Secundino Romero as United
States marshal for New Mexico. 1t had
confirmed the nomination Thursday. The
motion for the recall was made by Sena-
tor Bacon of Georgia, who said that
serious charges had been made before
the judiciary committee to the effect that
while sheriff, Romero had assaulted
former Judge +. V. Long of New Mexico,
and that sufficient opportunity had not
been given to consider the reports made
to the committee of Romeros alleged
acts.
Senator Catron of New Mexico defended
Romero, but it was agreed to recall ac-
ton on the appointment. and to take it
up again early next week.
Representative Ferguson made charges
against Romero before the Senate Ju-
dietary committee. and asserted Romero
was being rewarded for working in behalf
of Taft delegates to the Chicago conven-
tion charge denied by Senators Fall
and Catron of that state.
