ktonarchs In Mourning.

Monarchs In Mourning.
Periods Of court mourning are apt to
be regarded with something akin to
alarm by people in the official social
world, for court mourning means to
them submission to published rules
and regulations, from which there is
no appeal.
In most eastern capitals white gar
ments are the usual sign Of mourning,
and purple is frequently in Europe
given preference to black. Mourning.
of course, is strictly enforced in the
court Of st. James; also In that at
Madrid and in the Austrian court. AT
the latter, by the way, etiquette is ex-
aggerated to an extreme.
At the court of Berlin, where cere-
mony is regarded as the language Of
power, the blacklist of mourning Is
worn during the day. but not in the
evening. The empress objects to black
evening frocks and insists on her la
dies wearing white dresses trimmed
with black.
In Denmark also black is not allow
ed, but the wives of high officials and
of noblemen are permitted to wear a
high peaked headdress when in mourn
ing.-Pearson's Weekly.
Getting Mixed In Art.
Occasionally Homer and the other
reputable classics nod In the Boston
environments
A woman in Rhode Island wrote to
the head Of Boston institution that
advances art-all of them are supposed
to-and asked when and where she
could buy a Gilbert Stuart portrait
subject immaterial.
This recalls the Cleveland woman
who said that a woman ON Duchd ave-
nue. had q full length Rembrandt" In
her collection-but she had forgotten
who the artist was.-Cleveland Plain

GAINING BY GOOD ROADS.
The Farmer, Not the Motorist, Is Bene-
flied Most.

fitted MOST.
It is not unnatural that wrong i'm.
preston prevails as to the class OF peo-
pie who will be most benefited by good
roads. The enthusiasm Of automobile
owners for good roads and the large
number of cars seen in all parts of the
country have given tho suppression that
the automobiles will b tie largest
gamers. This is, however, an errone-
GUS idea, as a "road ceneu9 taken
would show that the motorcar owners
are in the minority, and the PEOPLE De-
irving the greatest benefit are tho
farmers.
While the users Of motorcars nay
assist in the work of creating public
sentiment in favor Of road improve
ment, the real benefit to the country is
in the saving to the farmers In trans
portation and in the enhanced farm
production which better marketing IA
cilities engender. Many farmer will
take to market over good roads q load
of early potatoes for which he can get
$1.5O a bushel, while with had roads 1t
would not have occurred to him to
plant them. The difference to him is
between a quick trip to town early in
the morning over an improved road or
slow, laborious trip, taking prac-
tically an entire day over bad roads.
1t is everywhere admitted that with
the improvement Of our roads. farm
lands will greatly enhance in value.
All of these arguments in favor Of
strong agitation for better roads should
receive the earnest attention of every
farmer.
Our faithful servants, the horses and
mules, should also be considered in
this matter, as it Is nothing less than
cowardly to let these patient, dumb
servants be dashed through mud and
ruts, straining every nerve to serve.

brought at least fifteen cents each,
making it possible to increase the

The property of the Iron River
Water. Light b Power Company
was cold at o sheriff's sale last Fri
day morning, and President Mack

only bidder. His grandson, Patsy
Callahan, age FIVE years, did the
bidding for him, and called off the
amount necessary to satisfy the
judgement ac6 costs, amounting
to 90, 600.
The judgment was the outgrowth
OF ahe company failing to pay out
standing bonds which were overdue,
and which were held by E. B.
NanwAring and B. G. Cooke.
It 10 understood that Mr.. Mack
miller's sister holds second mort :
gage against the property for $l5,-
600. and that her interests will be
taken care of the purchaser.

strueted o root cellar to store

He has one of the largest sheer
barns to be found in this section o
the country. but the barn, while
admirable for the wintering o

lambs and last winter he lost lambs
which would be worth today about

Children's Health.

Parents who pen their children
in their homes and do not dress
them warmly and let them romp in
the outdoor air handicap those
children physically and mentally
for future years.
In the December Woman's Home
Companion DR.. Roger H. bennett,
a New York physician who is ex-
pert in the care and treatment of
children, writes an article called
How to Make Babies Better" Fol-
lowing is an extract in which DR..
bennett gives his ideas of exercises
for children:
ut seems to be the practice OF
some mothers to suppress their chill
dren in their play, with the idea
that it Is for their good. cannot
understand why this superstition is
50 popular, because I believe that
throughout childhood there are few
exceptions to the rule that a child
should be allowed to be as active as
he wishes. Not long 40 | asked a
mother whose child did not seem to
be in the best OF health II she was
very active in her play. The moth
er replied that her child was very
lively indeed, but that she was not
allowed to run when she was out of
doors for fear OF getting over
heated, there was SO much danger
OF her catching cold afterward
This is not at all unusual, for |
meet this Suppression almost every
day. Such mothers should learn
that their children are far more apt
to catch cold when they do not get
the proper amount OF exercise than
when they are allowed to run and
play all they like. Let your chill
dren be as lively as they wish and
play to their hearts content. II
they are not naturally active, en-
courage them in fondnes for games.
Most of us have caught the spirit of
the fresh air treatment, and it
would be we'll if we cSuld learn that
exercise Is Just as important"
1t is especially at this time OF
the year, that the children have
plenty OF outdoor air. A child
pent up in stuffy. hot home is a
ready victim for disease.
There is no surer fertilization
against disease than plenty of fresh
air.
Dress the children properly and
let them out.
