 Worst Fears Were Groundless.

Smithson said thunderstorm d. ways reminded him of this absurd inr cident in his early married life. He said it happened when their first baby was only two months old, so he might be pardoned if his solicitude exceeded his sober judgment. He was at his office one afternoon when terrific thunderstorm broke which crashed enough to frighten anyone. so when the phone rang and his wife's voice tremendously. asked: George, dears can you come home right awayf" he said, "yes," quickly, nor paused to question, but frantic with misgivings. grabbed his hat and almost ran through town to his home.
 Arriving all breathless, he found his wife awaiting him on the porch. her face the very picture of distress.
 Rushing up to her he said anxious- ly: 'fWhy, darling, what's the mah teri"
 Much to his surprise came this re- ply: "Oh, George. dear, we have moths!"-Kansas City Star.

FACE FULL OF >PIMPLEs

424O So. California Ave-, Chicago, Ill. About a year ago my face was full of pimples and red spots. To sleep one night without itching was almost impossible. Some of the pimples would get big and red and if touched them they would pain, while others would get white heads on them and when they broke open some matter came out. They would burn and itch and I scratched them so that some times they would break and bleed. That always caused them to be worse.
 T bought all kinds of .salves and creams and found out that they did me no good. noticed the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertisement and I sent for @ free sample. I went to the drug store and bought e cake of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment and I found the pimples were drying out. In two months was we'll" (Signed) Chas. J. Peck. May 2, 1914.

RooseveIt's StraddIe.

MT. Roosevelts insistence on Candi- date Hinman is straining the loyalty of the New York Progressives to the utmost. It is now reported that he will even get medical permit to take the stump-just few times-for Hin. man, although the leaders of the Pro gressives are trying to dissuade him. If MT. Roosevelt doesn't take an active part in supporting candidate who can also be supported by Republicans the attitude of the national convention in 1916 may be as hostile as that of the last convention was. MT. Roose- welt has been utterly opposed to fu- sion, even when some of his best friends urged it, but the psychological moment for fusion has now arrived, and MT. Roosevelt is risking break with the Progressives in order to keep the Republican latchstring within reach.

He goes on to say, "This was a panic of plenty" Oh, what delightful panic-"panic of plenty" I want to strike out "of'' and insert "a,'' so that it will read 'It was panic a-plenty." Oaughter.)

Poor MT. Humphrey.

In the course of speech in the house Congressman Hef1in took notice of the croakings of that professional mourn er-Congressman Humphrey of Wash ington, who is very blue, and who is convinced the Republican party will remain out of power unless there is a repetition of the panic of 1907. The Alabamian chilled MT. Humphrey with a recital of the fact that there is more building than ever in his home city Seattle.
 Thereupon Congressman Bryan, also a representative from the state ot Washington-and opposed to the ad- ministration-interr MT. Hef1in and gave repudiation to the calamity utterance of his fellow townsman. He said:
 However 1t may pain me to hear you comment on my colleague in mak- ing those statements, I can not stand here and hear you make any state ments in reference to the prosperity of Seattle. I assure you that every thing up there is on the uplift, and everybody is happy. We are all en- couraged by what has been done the Alaskan railroad bill and the de- velopment of the Pacific coast"

 Next to the allwhite hat the black. and-white is liked for present wear In many cases the crown only is black. and black velvet is the material chos. en for making it. A hat of this char. acter Is shown in the picture with a tall crown made of a puff of black velvet. It is turban shape with 8 wide coronet of white felt. This coro. net might be of satin or of mofre or any of the popular millinery fabrics Small white wings are mounted against the crown along the left side of the hat. There Is a bow of black velvet on the coronet at the right side. It is merely two fiat loops placed toward the back of the hat.

A Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who had been hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe without bagging any game, came upon a mountaineer who was feeding a caged wildcat he had caught the day before.
 How much will you take for that beast?" he asked.
 The captor said $5, and the money was paid over.
 Now" said the Nimrod, 'tte one end of strong cord to that tree and another to the cats neck, and then open the door of the cage"
 This was finally accomplished and the fierce animal stood straining at its tether.
 The sportsman, who was watching the exercises from the interior of the cabin, leveled his rife across the win dow sill, took careful aim and blazed away. The wildcat gave joyful yell and disappeared in the forest. The bullet had cut the rope.

TT YPES of hats for present wear, as . set forth in the picture shown here, demonstrate the popularity of feathers in August millinery. The small close-f1tting turban, made of white feathers with tall outstanding quills, is the most fashionable of late summer models Hats similar in shape, and even more close fitting, made of white satin, crepe de chine, and black velvet, are trimmed with broad bands of white feathers and finished in nearly every instance with tall fancy feathers mounted at the front. These turbans in white are the forerunners of feather turbans, in colors, for early fall.
 After the feather turban, all-white hats of felt or frames covered with fabric and trimmed with wings have made for themselves the strongest place in popular demand
 Wings of all kinds, so long as they are fairly soft, one sees mounted in as great variety of ways as there is variety in the wings themselves. A white felt hat with broad band of white moire ribbon Is shown in the picture, with very effective mount ing of two long, soft, white wings. These wings are known as made wings That is they are manufactured

Thrill of Prosperity.

 They nearly all tell the same story that business has improved, that it is now good, and that it is surely go- ing to be better still in the near fu- ture. The president of the 'associa- tion, MT. Henry Kleine of Chicago, says: There can be no question about the industrial improvement which will come in the autumn; the West is jubilant.'
 What about the Pacific coast? The feeling of that region Is voiced by MT. s. J. Burtchaell of San Francisco, who is vtce-president of the associa- tion and a member of its executive committee. He says: "The country and the country's business outlook never looked so well."-New York Herald.

SEES A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Californian Confident That His State VIII Be In Line In Guberna-
 .. torial Election.

Since coming East I have heard that the Democrats of California have no chance to elect their ticket this year." observed Judge J. J. Banks of Los Angeles at the Willard. This is not my view of the situation. While the Republican registration in the pri- mar1es showed a somewhat increased vote for the Republicans, 1t was not nearly SO much as represented. The almost as wide apart as they were two years ago. The old organization hates Hiram Johnson with as bitter hatred as is possible in politics. They would much rather have a Dem- ocrat in office than Governor Johnson. On the other hand, the Progressives will never consent to the election of a Republican. and they would cast their lot with the Democrats before they would see Republican elected to the. governorship.
 Tt certainly appears that the Dem ocrats have a good chance to carry the state this year. The candidates for governor have not been named, but 1t Is taken for granted that Johnson will be renominated by the Progress stves. Former District Attorney Fred er1cks is likely to be chosen by the Republicans, and the Democrats will probably put up man named Hall.
 The fight for the United States senatorship will follow the contest for governor. The chances are Repre- sentative Knowland will be the candi- date of the Republicans, while the Democrats, in my judgment, will name former Mayor Phelan of San Francis co. Whom the Progressives will nom- mate, l do not know. I believe Phe- Ian, if nominated, will win, but Know land has better chance to come to the senate than the Republican can didate for governor has to be elected"
 Judge Banks said that the admins tration had grown in favor in the last month. largely due to the war in Flu rope.-Washington Post.

A PLEASING and practical costume &A for the tennis court must of necessity be plain. As a concession to present, modes a few models are shown having a short close-ftting tun- tc, but the majority of tennis gowns are quite plain as to the skirt. In the matter of the bodice one may choose between the middy blouse made of a fabric like the skirt, the plain silk or lingerie blouse, or waist made in one with the skirt like that shown in the picture.
 White wash fabrics, including many Of the new rough weaves in cotton, af- ford the player a wide choice of cot ton materials. The coarser weaves in linen are always dependable for the tennis costume. Ratine has proved its worth for this kind of gown. Almost no models of other than wash fabrics are shown.
 The picture given here shows a de- parture from all-white in French ten his gown, from Lamaguere, in flannel of a very light gray color. It has pin stripe in red, The plain skirt is in two pieces joined with an overlapped seam

at the left side. It has a considerable split at the bottom. This is provided with flat buttons and buttonholes on the inside of the skirt by which the slit may be closed when the wearer is not playing.
 The blouse is cut with kimono sleeve and a little fullness over the shoulders. The sleeves are length ened by wide strip of the material, with stripes running up and down, set on in the manner of cuff. The blouse is finished with a sailor collar of red satin. The sleeves are bordered with the same material, and it Is also used to furnish the narrow belt. A silk scarf, in red, is placed under the collar and tied in simple bow at the front as finishing touch.
 White canvas slippers, fastened with narrow straps, and white felt hat complete the pretty toilette. The mod el can be recommended as to design, but for real practical use wash fab rics of cotton or linen are better than flannel. and white is a better choice than any color.

The Tariff and Suoar

The consumption of sugar from March 1 to June 19 in the East was S93,000 tons in 1914, as compared with 74S,O0O tons in 1913. Thus the in- crease in consumption of sugar in those states has been 145.0O0 tons. This Is one of the results of Demo- cratic rule. The saving to the con- sumner by taking the duty off of sugar Is 5S1 cents per pound. which. figured OF the amount of sugar consumed in the United States last year, namely, s,ss4, ,631 ,36O pounds. would be equal to e4a. a.714708.

Presidents Youngest Daughter
Will Play in the Masque
Sanctuary"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Mis.
Eleanor Wilson, the President
youngest daughter, has come to New
York to take part in Percy Mackaye's
bird masque. Sanctuary" which is
to be presented under the patronage
of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson at the Hotel
Astor tomorrow evening.
THE masque was presented at Cor
nish, n. H, last summer. 1t was writ
ten by Mr. Mackaye for the dedica-
ton of the bird sanctuary of the
Meridian BIRD Club" explained Miss
Wilson. I'VE thought such a valu-
able lesson was taught by the play
that its influence for good should be
extended. Accordingly, it will be pro-
duced at the Aston in conjunction with
two important conferences, at which
addresses will be made by those inter-
ested in conserving bird and animal
life.
1.-THE masque contains strong re-
Duke to those who slaughter birds for
feathers and other~ purposes. l am
strongly opposed to the ruthless
slaughter of birds and all other an
mails for decorative purposes, and ]
am glad to be able to do my little
share in discouraging it"
The Presidents daughter was very
attractive in a rich blush green vel
vet suit and hat of dark material
trimmed with a strip of red.
II am to take the part of Ornis,
bird spirit, who makes plea on be-
half of the birds" said Miss Wilson.
Can you give a description of your
costume?" she was asked.
Miss Eleanor smiled in perplexi:Y
and turned to Mr.. Mackaye.
IT'S rather difficult TO describe,
isn't it," she said with a laugh.
Yes" replied Mr. Mackaye. 81
should say it is a Grecian gown;

Incidental songs will be sung by

said her mother viii be unable to at
tend the performance, but that her
sister will surely be here.
