A FINE NOTE OF HOPE
AND COURAGE

In a recent issue OF the Omaha
Chancellor, Mr.. Quinby, writing from
tie scene or a destructive tornado,
eives to the world this line note Of
hope and courage:
One night, when the heaviest Of
darkness Tiled the chamber where
MY little one slumbered, ! heard 4
tender voice whisper words that
awakened every emotion OF my be-
ing. During her sleep she had either
fallen or climbed out Of her little
bed and, wandering about the room,
had lost all her bearings, being I'M
abe to again gain her couch.
Sleep hung heavy upon me, for the
Days labOrs had been great, and
tired nature craved season of rest.
III ner baby voice she called, Papa,
fake her hand; papa, take her hand!"
Out OF the mystery of sleep came the
baby voice SO quietly, SO tenderly,
not disturbed, but confident that
somewhere in that darkness rested
ono whose loving duty it was to take
her hand, that it required many rep
etitions of the baby voices beseech-
Ing to call me fully to my senses. My
awakening was so gradual that l
could hardly realize that it was any
thing but dream, so softly, 50
sweetly and so serene came the baby
voice, Papa, take her hand"
Finally awakened, l followed the
leading of that little sound, and TAX
Ing baby by the hand, lifted her into
her couch, where, once more secure,
she reposed herself to slumber.
So it is through life. Occasionally
we seem to plunge deeply into the
very heart of darkness itself. We
grope about to feel some tangible
thing to clasp, to seek some ray OF
light, some avenue from that inky
darkness. Sometimes, after all our
own resources have become exhaust
ed in our forlorn and dreary state.
We cry out in the darkness of de-
gpair, Papa, take my hand." or, if
not in that baby speech and tone,
then, "Father, lend me your hand. J"
Add in the soul of Him who SO cried
out, full of the same unrestraipeu
confidence that possessed the mind of
my little one on that dark night,
was it ever the case that some hand
did not reach into that darkness,
into that gloom. and with the same
tender touch lead from that pit His
child?
Sometimes that Hand is never seen.
Sometimes 1t comes in such devious
ways and uses such inconceiyabA
means that We realize 1t not; but
whatever the means employed 1t is
she same tender Hand, dominated o,
he same unflinching Will, and l..
leads unerringly to light those wso
for time, had lost hope.
These are the tests that bring out
the qualities of men. Some there
are who cannot bear the test, and In
their despair cry out, sending forth
q wall of criticism of others that
thus they have been so placed. They
have not learned the beauty of ex-
hausting the very last resource of
which they are capable, of blaming
no one else for their failures, of
holding on to the bitterest end, and
then appealing, in the fullest conf
dence that it would not be deniel
ford some one to reach into th9
darkness a hand.

HOW TO APPLY A TIRE
Always Remove Rust and All Other
Foreign Matter.

Foreign Matter.
Before applying tires emove rust
and all other foreign matter. If the
tire has been ridden debated at any
time. mud may have accumulated on
the rim and unless this is removed
the tire cannot adjust itself properly.
Soapstone busted on the rim will act
as a lubricant and make 1t much easier
for the tire beads to slip into their cor
rect position. thereby reducing the
danger of pinching the inner tube to a
minimum.
Before placing the inner tube inside
OF case initiate Just enough to round II
out. Do not use a tube Of the wrong
size and be sure that the spreader of
the valve is adapted for the particular
type of case, whether regular. clinch-
er, quick detachable clincher or Q. ID.
cable base. Dust tube and inside Of
case with tale, which will reduce the
friction and prevent adhesion Of the
tube to case after heated in service.
IT too much tale is used. however.
and any water should work it's way OH
the inside Of the tire. there Is danger.
of grit and attending injury to the
tube. Powdered graphite is not quite
so nice to handle as tale. but il a
much more durable lubricant.

How TO Do the Smart and Fashionable
Bead Work.
The new fall blouses and gowns are
profusely decorated with beads. Now
is the time for the deft fingered girl

decoration. AS most beadwork is done
by hand. it would be expensive to buy
| bead trimmed clothes. as bandwork is
always costly.
Beaded motifs and ornaments. bead
| fringes and bead tassels will all be
prominent. with the colors ranging
from the subdued tones to the bright
est known shades and combinations.
Orange, yellow. bright green. purple.
blue and red are used In combination
on a background of black. navy or
white net. Light colors will also be used
for evening gowns. such al white. pale
blue. pink. lavender, ETC.. with gold
and silver bugles. seed beads and satin
beads.
White china and satin beads are
used on black net and chiffon with
white or black embroidery and vice
versa. Jet beads and bugles are used
with white satin beads and white and
black embroidery on white chiffon or
net. New chiffons and nets have a
printed design in contrasting colors.

designs oriental patterns are much used.
For the simple touches Of scroll de-

the beads should be strung on a thread.
fashioned into some graceful design
and sewed to the gown or other article
of wearing apparel. The pattern in
embroideries may be worked up with
silver. Jet or colored beads.
Plain bands and beaded girdles are
made by %stringing the beads on firm
linen thread. These strings of various
colored heads are then couched down

When following a design that is to
be crocheted. insert the needle through
the stitch, push the bead close to the
edge of the work farthest from you.
draw the thread through the loop on
to the hook. leaving the bead on the
other side, which. when finished. will
be the right side Of the work.
Fans are touched up With beads:
there are beads on slippers. stockings.
purses. neckwear and hair ornaments.
If you wish to go into more extensive
beadwork. for a small price you may
buy a loom which you could easily
learn to manipulate.
