.HEROES' AND
Z" NEAR HEROES"

A speech sharply critical of those
who laud military heroes, was deliv-
cred in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative Saunders. of Virginia.
Mr.. Saunders declared that men who
participate in battles are no more he
roic than the tiremen who risk their
lives in fires, or the policemen who
are placed in jeopardy in times OF
riot and disorder. He deprecated
laudation of military heroes, assert
ing that this, had inspired the mar
tial spirit and forced countries to
appropriate large sums for mum
tions of war. ;.
"Why should you praise men for
simply doing their duty in our army
and our navy?" asserted Mr.. Saun-
ders. "That is what they have been
educated for, and for. them to do
less would he to court disgrace and
dishonor."
Mr.. Saunders said that "Fighting
Bob" Evans was born in little town
in Virginia. Probably if he had
not got the appointment to the Naval
Academy he would have been post
master of Floyd, Va, said the Vir-
einian. Mr.. Saunders asserted that
many boys were sent, to the military
academies who probably "could rot
do well at home"
MIR. Saunders is one OF the lew
men in Congress who fails to see the
necessity for the United States build
ing large navy, and while the ia
zette is disposed to agree with Sen
ator Swanson, who believes such an
establishment essential to the pres
ent Importance of our country we
have no disposition to controvert Mr.
Saunders assertions to the contrary
He. however, utters truths IN the
words quoted above. There has ever
been j. disposition to place crowns
only upon those who have smeit
nowder, even when. like Jobs war
horses. it has been shifted from afar
and the progress Of battles watched
through field glasses.
It was suggested when Admiral
Farragut directed the naval battle
in Mobile Bay from the foretop OF
the Hartford it was new departure,
and it was a safer place than the
Quarter deck of the Victory where
Nelson received his fatal wound.
The modern coming tower, away
from flying splinters and other men
aces to life and climb, is also re-
earded with favor by aspirants 1ol
naval glory.
As Mr.. Saunders truly. says, 'there
are many heroes in other walks o.
life who never heard the click OF
musket. but who display remarkable
nerve in times OF imminent danger
although realizing the risk the!
run. =, i.
A certain percentage of people,
seems, are born with stunted IN
stincts so far as seH-preservatlon
concerned, and they may be ltkene
to bulldogs which allow their legs t
be cut off before they will rela
their grip upon heifer's throat o
sow's ear.
The true hero, after all, is tn
man who, with beating heart an
quivering flesh, suffering the tos

TO MAKE D0IL!ES.

A CHAFING dish dolly, very cleverly
arranged. is made of a circular
piece of mahogany-colored leather The
edge is plain and left undecorated.
Within is a border of white ducks,
stenciled with white paint. They are
arranged in nairs, each pair standing
by a food dish. The dish is colored
greenish-b brown.
Jardiniere doilies are made of stiff
yellow canvas. They are cut in de-
sired shapes, loosely buttonholed,
stitched with yellow thread and stem
ciled with black, brown and red or any
desired colors. The canvas holds its
proper shape for a long time and the
doilies are dust-shedding and very USE
full.
Take a double thickness of white oil
cloth, place the tops together and stitch
a circular piece. then cut it out Cover
this with the usual table dolly or nap
kin and you need have no fear of plac-
ing a warm dish on the finest polished
table. Dresser tops may be protected
in the same manner. using dainty
lingerie covers to hide the oilcloth.
When the edges of doilies or table
covers curl up, run weight-tape into
the hens and they will lie perfectly
smooth. The same is very good to run
in edges of sash curtains on book
cases and the like.
To protect centerpieces when not in
use, take two yards of cretonne, hem
each end and fold ii in the center,
and sew on some loops to hang by.
Then take some muslin and make as
many folds as you have centerpieces
and sew them in the cretonne cover,
exactly like the leaves in "A book
