WHOLE THEATER UNDER HAT
Carlyle, With His UsuaI Astuteness, Recognized Qualities of Dickens
 at Quite an Early Stage.

Charles Dickens dealt not with sub tleties of character, but with broad human emotions. His good people were all very good and his bad people were all unmitigatedly bad-a set of affairs almost unknown in real life. In short, he was a dramatist; his fig ures stood for something, they were an impersonation of ideas and mo- tives.
 Carlyle, with his usual astuteness, recognized it at quite an early stage of Dickens popularity.
 T had to go yesterday to Dickens reading at the Hanover rooms," he writes, ito the complete upsetting of my evening habitudes and spiritual composure. Dickens does it capitally, such as it is; acts better than any Macready in the world; the whole tragic, comic, heroic. theater visible, performing under one hat and keeping us laughing-in sorry way, some of us thought-the whole night. He is a good creature, too, and makes fifty or sixty pounds by each of these read ings."
 A whole theater under one hat that is really the true description of Dickens, far truer than the remark that he is a whole library in few volumes.

ATTIRE OF MEXICAN WOMEN
Poorer Class Accept Without Protest Style of Dress Which Custom Has
 Dictated to Their Glass.

As to the women of peons, their dress is generally somber hued and modest No scarlet blanket covers them, but blue reboso, or shawl, which is generally placed over the head in lieu of hat.
 The women of the poorer classes ac- cept, with what to the foreigner seems almost a pathetic resignation, the style of dress which custom has die tated to their class.
 There is no aping of the rich in their attire. Whether it be the fine lace mantilla or the Parisian hat which the far-distant-from-her senor- ita wears, as in temple or plaza she takes her dainty way, or the pretty froek or delicate shoes, the poor wom- an of the peon, or the mujer of the petty shopkeeper, casts no envious glance-but no, that would not be true!
 She casts them, but she will not strive to initiate Is there not some virtue in such non-emulation, or is it but the spirit of a deadened race? Yet this rather somber and unattractive apparel is found more among the peon class the Indian girl in some parts of Mexico-as at Tehuantepec-wears a handsome native costume, derived from Aztec days, at holiday time.

GR0UCH'S STEAK WAS TOUGH
However, Restaurant Keeper Knew How to Handle Customer With
 Kick-Sharp Knife Lacking.

1t happened in a downtown res- taurant, says the Columbus (O.) Dis patch. A well-dressed-as he always must be to make good story-young man ordered a steak. The waitress, rather pretty-which qualification she must possess in writing a story of this kind-filled the order and the young man started in to devour the feast which had been set before hiTa
 The young man had no sooner start ed in on the steak than he discovered that he had a kick coming, and as the restaurant proprietor passed he stopped him by saying: 'T can't eat this steak. Entirely too tough. I wish you would see that I get better meats when I come in here."
 "Too badl That steak looks all right But let me get you another?'' and the aforesaid proprietor took the steak, the silverware which had been served with it and departed. He soon returned with steak which looked ex- actly like the first one. The young man picked up his knife and started at his second order. "Fine!" he said, as his knife cut it apart without the least effort The customer was pleased beyond words and that he en- joyed the steak was evident, for he left only the plate.
 AS the reporter passed out he met the proprietor again, and this is what he said:
 .'That steak was all right, but the girl made mistake in not giving him sharper knife. All did was to put the same steak on another plate and bring him a sharp knife. You have no idea what difference a sharp knife makes with steak from a beef of questionable age"

ats and Faces.

A Boston man went down to Hart ford and said to the Motherhood club of that city, If you have 29-cent face don't wear $50 hat"
 Of course, the Boston man didn't make it clear to the ladies with Hart ford faces just what the hat-and-face ratio should be. Even a 29-cent face might hesitate oyer wearing a 29-cent hat. On the other hanu woman with a $50 face could scarcely be expected to don $50 hat.
 No, the Boston man is wading into deep water. He quite overlooks the eternal law of compensation.
 Let the Recent face wear $50 hat It may distract attention.
 As for the woman with the $50 face, she doesn't need any hat-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

Women Are Never Color Blind.

It has been found in recent years that about one man in every twenty is color blind. One of the newest dis coveries relating to this defect of vision is that women are never color blind, although color blindness is hereditary, being passed on from gen. eration to generation. Strange as it may seem, it has been found that if all of the offspring of color blind indi yidual are females the defect remains dormant in them but reappears in one of every four males of the next gene ration-From the Pathfinder.

Pollshinq and Renovatina.

When the furniture begins to lose it's original appearance of freshness, it should be renovated. A standard polish calls for raw linseed oil, tur- pentine and vinegar, well shaken; but while this is really a good polish there is danger of allowing too much of it to remain on the surface of the furniture. Remember that the office of -enovator is simply to remove dirt and grease and not to give it a new surface. Hence, when you rub with renovator, follow it with an other rag and wipe off thoroughly.

FIVE GOLD MEDALS GIVEN TO ARKANSAS AT THE
 FRISCO EXPOSITION.
To the Pulaskian:

Possibly l intrude again, but when 1 today received The Pu- laskian of August 6 and read the various items from home 1 act ed upon the impulse of the mo- ment. 1 want to welcome in ad- vance the Arkansas School Teachers. A double treat awaits them-the N. E. A. that I hope to attend and the Expo sition they will much enjoy.
 I want to send some good news, but perhaps you know Ar kansas has taken five gold med als, as follows: One for apples, one for collective exhibits in miscellaneous articles, one for boys corn club, one for cotton and the by-products of cotton seed, and one for rice.
 While the exhibit speaks for itself, yet many thanks are due to John B. Logan, director, E.. w. Horne, assistant, and the la dies who have been untiring in presenting our products and in kindly courtesy to the crowds.
 I am proud of Arkansas, but is there not time for a showing from the girls canning clubs :? Can we not, by exhibits, by booklets of their work, win an- other gold medal? The girls de- serve it.
 Later.=I understand apples from our orchards will be here, selected from this years crop. The exhibits will please our teachers, l know.
 I met upon the grounds, in the Arkansas booth, MT. and Mrs. c. P. Brice and family, now of Los Angeles, formerly of Pulaski Heights. Each looked so well and said they were doing well. They sent personal re- gards to all friends of and on the Heights, especially to Dr. Boyce and family and MT. and Mrs. McIndoo. l send the re- gards in advance, lest 1 forget,
 The fireworks last evening were the best 1 ever beheld, The Marine Band plays and we have at the same time a marine drill each day. l visited the bat tleship Oregon, yet lying in the harbor with the sister boats, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Ohio, Missouri, San Diego and Mil waukee.

 Mr. Faubel is looking so much better, and will return much benefited by the trip.
 Of course the teachers vii see the State University and tht school work exhibits, but do not miss the side trip to Stanforc University, for both skill anC beautiful surroundings.

REPUBLICANS OF THE NATION.

A center of optimism and the directive
body of the Republican party, the Re-
publican National Committee, which
met in Washington, was the center of
interest of the entire United States.
The plans made for the next Republican
national convention were of the highest
Importance. Chicago was chosen as the
place and June 7th the date for the con-
vention of 1916. This will put the Re-
publican gathering one week ahead of
the Democratic convention, which
meets at st. Louis, June IA.
There is a confident feeling of sure
victory for the party in the coming
campaign. This feeling is based upon
many substantial grounds and the ma
terials for victory are sure to be ampli-
fled by the acts of the Democrats in
Congress. 1t is difficult to find any
basis for confidence upon the part of the
Democrats of doing what they have not
done since the Civil War-have two sue
cessive victories in national campaign.
Mr.. Wilson will doubtless be the candi-
date of the Democratic parry. He will
prove to their only real asset. Yet, he
will prove likewise to be their principal
handicap. If the question were to be
put before the country upon its merits,
whether or not the Democrats have ad-
ministered well the domestics concern of
the nation-the vote should probably
register rs per cent. against the Demo-
cratic record. The only measure that
they can point to in the confidence that
the country in general will give consid-
cradle support to their claims in the
bank reserve law. Much of the merit
of this was derivedfrom the Republicans,
and the basis for it was wholly gained
from the experience of the nation under
the Republican financial direction. The
tariff is so illodored that the Democrats
can have little satisfaction in this deficit
and depression creating measure. The
so-called war tax, which is really cloak
for the wrongsof the Democratic tariff,
stands as a palpable confession of error
upon the part of the party in power.
The industrial legislation and most other
legislation of the Democrats have been
analysed and the Republican party is
prepared to make its exhibits. The
conclusion fund is weighed in the balance
and found wanting.
Mr.. Wilson has done some patriotic
service, such as an American President
would be likely to perform under the
conditions of acute crisis that from time
to time have arisen in connection with
the foreign war. But this cannot be
made the support of the Democrats, as

there was nothing of partisan character
in this personal record of the head of the
nation. Moreover, the Republicans
have made clear that their support of
the policy of prepardness-a purely Re-
publican rolicy-cannot be gained for a
partisan measure. Therefore the De-
mocrats will have to treat it as broad
lY patriotic policy. This course will
tend to strengthen the protestations Of
the Republicans that the acts OF the
President in relation to the war abroad
are not and cannot be construed as par
tisan.
The Republican party stands upon the
record of the Democrats. It need not
furnish any evidence in the court of
public opinion. All it has to do is to
cross-eXamine the witnesses for the de-
Tense of the Democratic administration.
Even though from that most astute chief
witness. Mr.. Wilson himself, little might
be drawn that could be used against the
administration, from all other courses
the administration would be condemned.
Even Mr.. Wilson's words and deeds
have not matched and he would be con-
demned in part from his own mouth.
The Republicans, however, recognize
the fact that the one time schlsm has
been virtually healed. The few features
of potential ugliness do not count. 1t
would be difficult to predict any
other trend then that of absolute
Republican unity. The party in power
will be left to its usual minority, less
the subtraction that for significant
causes would be made from it. Hence
the Republicans have their own record
and test of efficiency. The misftness
of the Democrats and the absolute and
imperative demand for a return of the
Republicans power, is their assurance
for success. The National Committee
is working in the shadow of victory. All
the party will neck for success will be a
clear presentation of the facts, and the
naming of strong man to head the
ticket-and there Is no lack of men of
presidential proportions.
