A correspondent writes asking me II 4
do not think cold baths bad for the com-
plexion and cites the fact that English
women who habitually use them are apt
to have rough and over-red skins towards
middle age.
I certainly do not think a quick cold
plunge in the morning bad for the COM
plexion; on the contrary. IL 1t agrees
with the physique. 1t is sure to agree
with the skin. Women with thick, sal-
low skins need a quickening Of the cir-
culation and this ia best effected by the
cold bath if one get the proper reaction.
II the skin looks rosy and there is q
feeling Of warmth and we'll being through
out the body, such bath is a good thing;
II. on the other hand. the cheeks are pur-
pie and there are symptoms of q chilli,
the temperature of the bath should be
raised. There are other reasons besides
the cold bath that explain why English
women who have such lovely compilations
in youth become too high coiored as years
go on. 1t is because the skin itself Ii
cruelty neglected.
The average Englishwoman Is @ Spar
tan In matters of the toilet, and, conn
pared to American women, or to the wo-
men of any other civilized country,
spends small part Of the family income
on herself. The moist climate of Eng
land and the athletic life led by all its
young people is responsible for a race of
rosy checked, strong limbed girls. but
these charms neglected cease with youth.

Finding young woman's coal on

Our naval commander at the port had

the only justifiable course open to the

request the paymaster and his crew
to Withdraw and to lodge a protest

It was not often that Una attended
any usual functions. Hers had be-
come home life, but once in while
some close girl friend would tease her
into attending a party or reception.
That same evening the brother of
such friend became her escort to
a birthday celebration in the next
town. He had shown marked atten-
ton to Una and she regretted it and
decided this would be the last time
she would accompany him.
An open carriage from the livery
called for them. The driver sat muf-
fed up on the front seat in his great
coat. Una's escort carelessly re-
garded him as the sleepy-headed
driver he usually employed, and after
they had driven mile or two, to the
distress of Una, made a fat proposal
for her hand in marriage.
81 am very sorry" she said, "but
you must not speak of this again"
There is some other?"
There always has BEEN" muir
cured Una softly; ut will be always
the same"
The driver moved, stirred with
some deep emotion, but silently drove
them to their destination and back
home again. When he took the team
to the livery he handed its proprietor
a bank note with the words:
Thanks for catering to my fancy
to act as a driver on special occa-
sion," and kept his face shaded, as
during his spell at the lines.
Mr.. Dorsett got up his turkey appe-
tite the next day. That evening Una,
her father and mother and her sister
were invited guests, and it cheered
up Mr.. Dorset to be in such friendly
company. Una looked charming in
her spotless white bib and tucker.
She would allow no one to help her
in the preparation of the meal. She

to the table and sat down, feeling she
had done her duty and was ready for

then he came to an abrupt pause, the
cover to the potato dish in his hand.
He dropped it to stare past steamy
veil within the dish at a neat rubber
banded package of papers.
Whats this?" he exclaimed, and
then fell back, overcome. "Bonds"
''Bonds?" repeated Una, vaguely,
rising up from her chair and hurrying
over to his side.

ly, as though same quick suggestion
brought partial Illumination to his
mind, 'and the same bonds Identical

%W%HE honeysuckEcs were beginning to bud. Already the humming birds
we're lowering near and had built q nest right in the heart Of the
u vine. This vine was in a nice old fashioned garden, but near BY
here was a vacant lot which vas very swampy.
9ou know the garden by the vacant let?" began daddy.
Yes" replied both the children; are you going to tell US a story about
that gardenT
i a going to tell you" said daddy, about the mother hummtng bird
whose little ones were attacked by a cruel snake when they were rescued
by the brave robins.
The snake had com NJ from the vacant field and had crawled up the
heneysuckle vine IS the mother hummtng bird had gone Off for some food.
Sone robins lowering neal had seen the awful snake. They had cried out in
terror and had flown over to the nest.
1.-THE mother humm1ng bird heard the cries and hurried back, but the
robins had frightened of the snake. The snake was not a very large one,
when he saw so many birds flying toward him he got away very quickly.
The mother humm1ng bird got back just 3 the snake was leaving the
nest
she couldn't thank the robins enough for flying o the rescue and saving

thankful toe. that the dear little birds had been saved, for birds are very
loyal tx another and will risk any danger to v each other"

After the mother humming bird had recovered from the awful fright and

with no i'll effects from their fright the mother humming bird invited the

must likewise close. But what the sa-
loon problem is to Akeley, Cass Lake,
Bemidji, Moorhead or other places. is
not n same as what it is to Detroit.
Here, there is a rapidly increasing ele-
ment that believes that the saloon
must go eventually and that the gov
eminent order, if it comes, will be a
good thing. It means that Detroit will
lose $4,000 a year in annual license fees
and that six important stores will
stand vacant, temporarily, at least.
But the liquor element in Detroit is
not what it was five, or even three
years ago, or what it was even as re-
Gently as when the big investigation
took place regarding land frauds and
the mistreatment Of the Indians.
Sentiment Has Changed.
Today everything has changed. De-
troit is still the lively town that it
was three years ago or eighteen
months ago, with much construction
work going on and business good. But
sentiment has changed materially. 1t
Is true that there is still an element
here important enough to WELD much
influence, that wants the saloons to
stay.
Suggest Laying in Stock.
A representative of a st. Paul LIQUOR
mouse and the salesman for a Mime
apoils brewery got off the train to-
gether Friday and made the rounds
and suggested to the saloonkeepers
thai they might do well to stock up.
Their argument was that the govern
ment. If it orders the saloons closed,
VIII give he dealers time to sell off
their stock. The presence in Detroit
OF G.. G.. Daniels of Minneapolis,
government attorney, was used as an
argument along that line after he had
put his name on the register of the
Minnesota House, although Mr.. Dan
iels was not here on any government
mission of closing the saloons nor do
his duties run that way.
