But how very long 1t seems
Longest week I've ever known!
All at once the house has grown
Silent as house OF dreams!
Dimple-cheek and Curly-wig
Really aren't so very big
Both, In fact, are very small
But the space they f1ll-dear me!
Now they're gone there seems to b<
Nothing in the world at all.
Nobody to come and tap,
Interrupting grandma's nap:
Nobody to come and plead.
Tory!" when want to read.
Nobody to linger near
May help you. farver dear?'
Nobody to spill the ink
Or to streak my desk with Jam.
Really what goose I am
To be sorry. don't you think?
Curly-wig and Dimple-cheek
wan be home again next week,
But how slowly. slowly pass
All the hours Of every day
While my darlings are away!
Hurry home. wee lad and lass
Or I'll have to go and seek
Curly-Wig and Dimp1e-cheek!

shrub, the fruit or boil OF which con-
tanned 'withinne lyttle Beaste in
Flesche, IN Bone and Bloode, as

Mendinn old Linen.


Old tablecloths can be neatly darned
wherever worn places are apparent II
they are darned before the threads are
actually worn through they will last a
long time after they are mended. Din
ner cloths that are worn past darning
can be cut down for breakfast and
luncheon cloths or else made into
cloths for the kitchen table. They
should be nasty cut and carefully
hemmed, as t4eir life in this second
form will sometimes be as long as
their life as dinner cloths was.
Sometimes partly worn cloths are in
good enough condition to make It worth
while to cut them up and hem them
for breakfast and luncheon napkins.
They can also be made into tray cloths
and carving cloths. The making over
Of table linen should always be done
with care and neatness, as untidy
table linen. even Il 1t Is old, Is IN
excusable.

carina For silver.

Never put your silver away in white
bags to keep 1t In good condition. Use
dark red or blue or green cotton fan
mel bags the kind that jewelers. and
silversmiths use.
And there Is a reason for not using
the white bags. There is In the bleach
Ing process to which they are subject
ed certain amount Of sulphur and
other chemicals that have a tendency
to tarnish the silver when 1t comes In
contact with 1t. The colored bags do
not possess this dangerous character

Huerta's Impressions.

It would seem from the 1neaSfe
information obtainable from Wash
ington that Huerta, the President Of
the provisional government OF Mex
leo, is possessed Of impressions sug-
gested and created by his friends
and the jingo press in the United
States. In friendly interview with
Governor Lind, the personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson,
Huerta is quoted as haVing declared
that neither Congress nor the peo-
pie are supporting the President 81
the United States, and therefore he
(Huerta) could not consistently
view with earnestness any sugges-
ton offered by President Wilson as
policy of mediation in the affairs
Of Mexico.
1t is now apparent that some OF
these impressions are traceab1e 10
the friendly relations existing be-
tween Huerta and Ambassador Will
son, who has been practically SUI
perseded by Acting Ambassador
O'Shaughnessy, the American rep
resentative in the City Of Mexico.
From this view of the situation
the intent at peaceful mediation OF
President Wilson has failed, but his
efforts in the maintaining Of peace
between this government and Mex
leo will not be futile.
In these efforts at mediation the
integrity of the United States has
been fully maintained. In the end,
when Huerta will have realized that
his present impressions were un-
founded and that he has been mis-
led by men who cringe the knee
that thrift may follow faWning, he
will be undeceived. Indeed, the pol
icy Of President Wilson is en-
dorsed not only by his political fol-
lowers, but Republicans vie with
each other in their pledge Of sup
port of the President in his policy
towards Mexico.
Let no man be deceived. While the
United States is peaceably inclined,
the military and the naval forces Of
this government are in hand and in
readiness to meet any emergency
that arises. The only critics of the
President and his policy are the
comparatively few who would profit
immeasurably from war, while en-
joying at home all the glory Of the
carnage and horrors Of the struggle.

KANSAS BLUE SKY
 LAW IS A RIGID ONE

Little Rock, Aug. 15-State Audi tor L. L. Coffman has received from officials of Kansas recent ruling ot the supreme court of that state upor the blue sky law, which upholds the most rigid interpretation of it's pro visions.
 This is good news to the officials who have the enforcement of the law in Arkansas, for the law here is cop jed from that of Kansas, with some improvements which were suggested by the commissioner of the Sunflower state
 The Kansas supreme court rules that if the commission desires to re- quire it, a corporation cannot sell a tract of land without first securing the consent of the commission If this can be done in Kansas it can also be done in Arkansas, but the officials will not endeavor to carry it that far. They are satisfied with the law when it keeps wildcat stock companies from preying on the people of Arkansas, and will confne their efforts in that direction.
