 Another wrong that is done a child by not keeping promises is the pain that is caused to him He has. perhaps, reckoned upon and eagerly anticipated some pleasure. and then when he finds he is not to have 1t he is cruel ly disappointed. It may be a little thinr 10 you, but it was big enough to i'll all his thoughts. and the disappointment warps the whole life for the time being and makes an impression which will influence him much in the future.
 Be slow in making promises and then take heed how you break them. Be specially care tui that those made to your little ones are faithfully kept and If the keeping of them be an impossibIlity-as 1t may sometimes be do not neglect to explain that you had not forgotten and that you are sorry. Thus will you retain your chlldren's loving confidence and respect.

iiNoRAMUS The words tailor finish D are not half % alarming as they sound. It means just neat work. even stitching, ana careful pressing. You can use for cloth suit plain seam stitched on one or both sides. A sood neat finish is the plain lsam prsssed with both edGps turned to one side and row of machine stitching run on the right side Of the garment about half or quarter inch from the seam and catching through the three thicknesses. For pressing you will need heavy irons, evenly heated and strip of muslin to dampen and lay over your cloth The easiest way to understand the tailor 1n- ish is to rip apart an old coat and note care fully how the canvas. interlininS. and pad

survey of the house. and prepare full and complete list of the things to be bought.
 It is well for this list to be drawn up in . systematic way. with a view to economzng labor when the actual shopping is in prog ress. For example. if two shops are almost next door to each other, do not put one at the beginning and the other at the end of the list, or a lot of time and energy-and temper-will be lost
 Compare the shopping list with tho money in hand. and fix approximate prices to the various items. It is essential to abide by the rules made in this way if you want to shop wisely and we'll When woman allows for buying two pounds of meat, she should not let the butcher persuade her to buy two and three-quarters pounds.
 Many young housekeepers are so desper- ately afraid of appearing to be mean " or unduly particular that they allow themselves to become careless and extravagant shoppers before they are aware of the fact-and the habit is much more easily cultivated than dropped
 Most housewives do their shopping in the morning. but in many respects it is better plan to do it in the afternoon. In the after noon the morning shopping crush is avoided. and one gets more individual attention. and where food is concerned-there is less risk of being given stale leftovers from the pre- vious day
 Shopping is an art, and one which every woman ought to understand-whether she likes it or not. Broadly. it/might be said that the secrets of successful shopping are to use foresight and forethought. to know exactly what one wants to buy-and to see that one gets it.

 :" Yes" answered our hostess. [" And. un- less she marries. hope to have her another ten"

 who live to shop. The latter have no greater delight than to go shopping from morning to night, while the former class regard shopping as . troublesome duty that must be endured
 However. there is a real art in shopping. and it is one of those arts which, for the most part, must be learned from personal experience, though the wise woman can save herself a good many pitfalls by the exercise of little forethought.
 The question of cash and credit scarcely enters into this precise matter. though in passing it may be said that the woman who pays for things usually gets better value for her money than if she had things charged while the cash system gives one a much better understanding of the financial posi- tion.
 When . woman is going out shopping it is well to decide beforehand exactly what things are to be bought-and to buy just those things.
 It is great advantage to have shop ping slate {" or tablet in the house. upon which can be written down various things that need to be bought. If salt is getting low, or if one goes to use the black cotton and finds there is not any. the fact should be noted immediately on the slate

Keep Faith with Your Child.

n ANY a woman who would not think N of lightly breaking promise made
 to grownup person ls utterly care

 mother who acts thus does her child grievous harm. She forgets that the sense of Justice is strong in quite a little child and that 1t is natural and reasonable that he should expect his parents to be as good as their word and to fulfill their promises. even at the cost of convenience. Promises should not be lightly broken. and the parent who is guilty of this soon loses her children's conf. dence. which s of the sweetest things which our little ones give us

Sew this bow firmly on top of the girda
 on the hook side and sew snap on the under
 side of the loose loop and the socket on the
 girdle to hold loosely in place.
 When the picot edge Is made haste parallel
 lines the desired width apart and have the
 hemstitching done at some ma chine agency
 Then cut through the center of this stitching
 and you will have the picot effect on both
 edges of your sash.
 An attractive finish for a gIrdle at the left
 sido is made from bias strip eight inches
 wide-sixteen if the material Is doubled.-and eighteen inches long. Make an outstanding
 loop four and half inches high and have
 single end with the bottom cut in a slanting
 line to fall below the girdle. Cover the plating of the loop with . crushed or folded
 bias strip four inches wide.
 For the center of the back a becoming sash arrangement is . short butterfly bow made of either the bias silk or ribbon eight or ten inches wide. Make the loops four and half inches long--this will take an eighteen inch strip-fold over the ends to the center. gather into . two inch space and cover with softly crushed knot Have two ends each fifteen inches long at the inside and sloped to nine inches on the outside. Fold in a fan plait and arrange the ends side by side under the square loops with the longest edges meeting. Attach this sash to a crush sirdle or a crushed ribbon belt. All the sashes. unless especially mentioned are thus attached and the extra amount must be allowed according to the width of ones waist.
 Many of the new sashes are tied low below the hip line, some just above the knees. When made either of the bias silk or wide ribbon bring 1t round the waist from front to back, cross. and bring the ends to the left side at the hip line: knot loosely and have the two ends falling one midway between knee and ankle, the other three or four inches shorter.
 One of these low draped sashes crossed in front instead of the back at the sirdle line has the ends tied at the kness in . short but terfy bow of three and half inch loops, with two ends beneath cut in the inverted V, the one end eight inches long, the other six and a half inches.
 For these low draped sashes use . ten inch ribbon or bias strip. which is twice that width when made double. A smart effect is not to bring it round the waist lins save across the front. whore 1t is held in place by being drawn beneath straps of the matsrial with button or embroidery. Those straps should be about six inclnss apart Tie the bow at tho center back just below the hip line. Supply with . small safety pin to hold in proper position.
 Many of the made sash ends are trimmed with fringe or narrow ruffies three and a-half inches deep. put on with heading The black and white chiffon sashes. cut from eisnteen 10 twsnty-four inches wide. are fin- lsned with inch wide ruchings of the material set across the bias ends. Three ruchings two lncnes apart is pretty trimming. The sides may bs hsmstitched or picoted.

KILLED BY LOCAL TRAIN

The local passenger train, COM
ing in from Hudson last evening,
ran over and badly mangled h e
body of young woman oppo-
site the Harley Chinook farm,
four miles northwest Of this city.
The wheels of the train did not
run over the body, but it was bad
ly mangled from being dragged
along under the train for several
rods and thrown part way through
a trestle.
The train was stopped and the
body brought to this city, to the
I. l. Lusk undertaking parlors.
Several people from that neigh
hood saw the woman on the tracks
just about train time, and others
have reported having seen her in
Hudson and in the neighborhood
of Prescott Roads, but no one re-
cognized her as a resident OF this
or any of the surrounding COM
munities.
Her indemnity was not known I'M
til late tonight, when the remains
found to be those of Miss Mable
Palmer, aged "A, who had Iived
at the home of her uncle E. I'll.
Streeter, in Hudson, and had dis
appeared from there early We'd
nesday morning. She was ac-
customed to taking long walks
alone, and for that reason her alb
sence was not noted earlier. She
had evidently become exhausted
and fell unconscious on the track.
1t is reported the the engine
crew did not see her until after
the accident. the engineer stop
ping the train when he heard or
felt the impact under the tender.
Evidence on the track and the
nature of the injuries indicate that
the woman was lying between the
rails with her head toward the ap-
preaching train.
Coroner G.. F. Trieb of st. Croix
county was down from Hudson to-
day. He pronounced her death as
resulting from her becoming un-
conscious and falling in front o.
the train. No inquest was held.

MEXICO'S ROYAL GHOST.
Legend of the RumbIingf Cave of Las
Siervas hot Springs.

Legend of the RumbIingi Cave of Las
Siervas hot Springs.
The hot springs of Las, Siervas, near
vale de Canizos, in remote part OF
the state of Guerrero. Mexico. have
been visited by few people from the
outside world. but they are famous in
the legends and history of the Indian
tribes of that part OF the republic.
According to the natives, the waters
of the springs possess great medicinal
properties. In ancient times the
springs were the favorite bathing re-
sort Of the noble families of the Tepa-
neca, Alcolhua and other tribes that
lived in that region.
On both sides of the chief spring
there are huge rocks with hieroglyph-
les and the figures of women beauti-
fully carved. Judging from the robes
worn by the women. their stately APP
pearance and the jewels around their
necks. the figures must represent prin-
cesses or ladies of very high rank.
The spring is at the entrance to
grOtto that has never been explored
From the grotto a rumbling sound re-
Sembling distant thunder is to be heard
all the time. According to natives, the
rumble is caused by the ghost of King
EXcamina. who ruled over that part of
the country three or four centuries be-
fore the Spaniards discovered America.
King Excamina, the tradition says.
was as bad as man could be. He MUIR
dered people merely for the pleasure of
seeing them die and committed every
crime. He had his palace constructed
in another cave. which communicated
with that of the spring by a tunnel.
There Excamina, in company with
some of his favorites, had. orgies that
lasted weeks and months.
When he died an earthquake destroy
ed his palace. Since that day bis ghost
has been haunting the cave near the
spring. and none Of the Latives has
ever dared go into the cave.-New York
