THE MADAM.

In most towns one drives in the
park to seek pleasure. In Calcutta
he does it because it is necessary.
In most towns a carriage is lux
ury; in Calcutta 1t is essential.
Charles, they call them, and they
are OF classes three:
A third-class gharry is flat-bot-
toned, two-wheeled cart, upon which
the passengers sit cross-legged in
that bone-breaking posture impossi-
BILE for us of the Occident 1 don't
know what 1t costs to ride in third
class gharry, but it must be cheaper
than walking.
A second-class gharry is distin-
guished by having only one horse,
only one driver and only one foot
man. 1t may be a coupe or a vic
toria, but really anyone who is any
one would not care to be seen driv-
ing in a second-class gharry, with
only two servants. believe a sec
ond-class gharry costs nearly twenty
cents an hour.
But now first-class gharry is a
thing of joy. 1t. is a big wide open
carriage pulled by a span of well
groomed horses and on Its box are
seated two beings arrayed like Solo
mon. A coachman who knows that
his are the best horses in the world,
and a footman whose silent hauteur
informs every passerby that the oc-
cupart of the carriage is an aristo-
crat of aristocrats. (This patent OF
nobility is conferred, of course, by
the fact that the occupant has hired
this particular equippage for the
enormous sum OF thirty-three cents
an hour.)
But that is not all. Up behind is
syce. The syce is small person
of brown hue, clad in purple and

only reason he is up behind is that
you are an American and have made
him sit very quietly: otherwise, he

The Red Gross seaI !.

Nearly $l,yOO,0vU has been raised
by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the
last six years, and yet many people
who will buy these holiday stickers
at this seventh annual sale do not
know how the charity samp idea or
iginated.
10 was war that brought forth the
charity stamp our Civil war OF 81
to '65. Some Of your grandmothers
frst played "postofiice" with stickers
similar to Red Cross Seals way back
In 1852, when they conceived the idea
Iof selling stamps at fairs Tor the bene-
at OF the relief funds for the SOL
diers' hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston
and elsewhere. Nearly 1900 600 was
raised in this way before 1855. After
the war this method of raising money
was discontinued In HIS country for
a. generation, although 1t found vogue
IN Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain, Denmark, Norway.
Russia, Sweden and other European
coGntries. There are now several
thousands Of different types OF chari-
~ stamps used in all parts of the
world, as mgny as forty being used
In Austria for children's hospitals,
alone. ~
Stamps on seals were first used to
get money for the, anti-tuherculosis
crusade IN Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob sRiis, the wefi-known.
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary Of the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong tile honor of original
ing our American Red Cross Christ
mas Seal. In 1909, Mr.. Ris,s interest
was aroused by the receipt Of a
Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a
letter from Norway He published an
article about this queer-looking stamp
In the Outlook" and suggested some
possible uses for it in this country.
Miss Bissell at once saw an opportu-
nifty here and prepared stamp, from
the sale Of which her society realized
$1,000 for tuberculosis work. So i'm
pressed was she with this success thai
she induced the American Red Gross
to take up the sale in 1908 on ma
tional basis With very little organi-
cation and with hardly any attempt
at careful advertising the sale that
year brought in, nevertheless, over
$1S5, 900 for anti-tuberculosis work in
various parts of the United States.
In 1909, with more thorough organiza-
ton, the sale was increased to nearly
$4,000; in 1911 to over 100000 and
in 1912 to over .$4G0. 600. Last year
the sale was increased to nearly
40, 100000 seals, netting $4,000 for
the anti-tuberculosis campaign.
1t is fitting to note that war, In
human and cruel, was the mother OF
the Red Cross Seal, and that now
war for humanity against disease
brings it back to its fullest useful
ness.

USES FOR SMALL ELECTRIC
SIGNS.

The great electrical sign as a means
of commercial advertising has been
most fully exploited in all large
American cities; but the possibilities
OF small electrical signs are just be-
ginning to be realized. One of these
Is in the use Of lighted signs for those
using narrow thoroughfares, and for
directions in buildings, and other
public places. An ordinary painted
sign, even II conspicuously placed,
will be overlooked by large number
OF persons, because of the multiple
ity of typed information that assaults
his gaze on every side. Not reading
signs becomes habit, which 1t re-
quires an effort to overcome. A fresh
paint sign in a public place seldom
serves to prevent number of sticky
contacts and explosive remarks, es-
pecially II the light Is a trifie dim;
but an electric warning would pene.
trate the cranial ivory of the most
preoccupied individual.
Then, too, there is the possibility
of using electrical signs for profess
sional advertisements. An electrical
sign on a doctors door would not
only be source of profit to the doc
tor; but a; God-send to someone in
Immediate and pressing need of his
assistance. Even the suburban dwell
er might well use a small electric
sign to let the guest know which is his
house, and anyone who has spent a
bad half hour trying to read the num-
bers on suburban houses, or to de-
eide which is the street and which is
the alley, would appreciate the fnno-
walton. Emergency entrances to hos
pitfalls, fire alarm boxes, and numerous
other necessities and conveniences
might be made many times more
available by the use Of electric signs.
The field is large, and the cost Of
maintaining such apparatus strpris-
ingly small.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Lorimer's

century. That was an example of
newspaper government.
Thus spoke Leslie NJ. Shaw, ex-

of the Republican club here. The for.
mer cabinet member was discussing
the slandering of public men. He
said that the junior senator from Iowa
said to him during the Lorimer trial:
II know Lorimer is not guilty, but |
must vote against him. The people
demand It." Ex-senator Depew also
scored the ousting of Lorimer by say
ing: Il didn't like Lorimer. My whole

Eellant to me. But the question be-
fore the senate was whether he was
guilty. On the testimony I do not

mrs. ADAMS
DIED SUNDAY
At the Residence at No. 1919 Grand
Avenue at $40 O'Clock
Yesterday Morn
Ing.
WAS BORN IN ILLINOIS
And Had Been Highly Respected
Resident Of Lee County
for seventy-two
Years.

At $40 o'clock Sunday morning,
Mrs. Rebecca Adams passed away at
her home, 1919 Orleans avenue, after
q residence in Lee county for about
seventy-two years. She had been in
declining health since last August but
was confined to bed only since last
week. Her death was hastened by the
infirmities of old age.
Mrs. Adams was born in Union coun-
ty, Illinois, November 5, 1882, her
maiden name being Rebecca Gore,
daughter Of Joshua D. and Mary
(Patterson) Gore, natives Of Johnson
county, South Carolina. On Septem-
Der Is, 1851, she was married to Will
liam ]. Adams. Soon they located in
Lee county, residing here two years,
thence returning to McDonough coun-
ty where they remained only about a
year, coming back to Lee county near
Galland, where she continued her resi-
dence until few years ago when she
came to Keokuk to reside.
Mrs, Adams was an exemplary chris
tian woman, and had been a member
of the Christian church for long per-
iod of years. Coming here in the
early days when there were hardship
to be borne in making home on the
wilds of these western lands, she
proved a worthy and willing help
mate. From the uncultured wild lands
upon which they settled and prosper
ed they soon possessed fine home
stead of smiling and prolific fields.
Her husband died number of years
ago. He stood in high esteem as a
citizen and always occupied prom
inent position in Lee county, his
good wife, now called to her reward,
sharing with him in the high esteem
Of friends and neighbors. She proved
herself worthy to assume the cares
that fell upon her when she was wild
owed and performed all the duties that
came to her in the spirit of matronly
kindness. She was kind and loving
mother and neighbor who had the
respect and even affection of those
who knew her best. There will be
sadness in many hearts in Keokuk and
portions Of Lee county when the an
|nouncement reaches them Of this good
woman's death.
Mrs. Adams is survived by the fol-
lowing children: William Adams and
Owen Adams Of Keokuk, Mrs. Alice
Bond, Mrs. G. w. Stoves of Douglas,
Arizona, several grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren. She is also
survived by one sister, Mrs Grant, CT
