Every bedroom needs some sort of
receptacle to hold anything that is to
be disposed of temporarily. Here are
two bags conveniently open, inviting
to an orderly disposition of small ar
ticles. Either of them will serve the
purpose of waste basket and one of
them-the bag at the bottom of the
picture-is designed especially for q
mans room. They are both very easy
to make.
At the top, bag, which may be
of silk or cretonne, is made by gath
ering a square of the goods along the
hem. A brass ring is sewed to the
bag formed by the gathering) at each
corner. This bag is supported by n
standard made of four rods of wood
fastened by screws to a small circu-
lar block of wood. The screws make
the rods movable, so that the bag may
be folded up and made to occupy a
small space when not in use.
The bag at the bottom of the pic
ture is also made of square. 1t Is
of printed Japanese cotton, lined with
plain silkalene. When the two materi-
ais have been sewed together the four
points of the square are turned over
the smaller Of two oval embroidery
hoops, and the second hoop is placed
over it. A japanese tassel, on a silk
cord, is placed at each side. The
cords, caught between the hoops, form
the hangers by which the bag is sus-
pended from a hook or from any con-
venient support. Japanese prints come
in designs of strong, bold colorings,
and are artistic and attractive.

The LAST DAYS OF
The 8TH REGIMENT
AT CAMP LINCOLN

The last days spent at Camp Lin
coin, by the 9Th Regiment, if the
newspaper reports be true, were
"riotous". The colored boys left
the Camp in very disgraceful con
dition, and the white soldiers were
Inundated" to some degree, eth
er because the white soldiers are
white" and the colored soldiers
are black, =" or despite the fact,
we know not which. The fact,
however, is: there was a great
deal done by the soldiers that
should not have been, viz; the
fights, homicides, disobeying ord

things. The officers must have

the men, who had just got paid.
We are not prepared to say that
none of the report to the effect
that the camp was left filthy"
and guns strewn over the field and
left there. is not true, but we are
assured that the charge is magnified
and amplified. This Company has
hitherto, borne good reputation,
and it is pity that the colonel
and staff could not maintain that
uncheckered record. Springfield
has the weight of the burden to
bear. In June soldier killed an
officer and on the eve of departure,
a soldier killed comrade. Of
course. we are not discussing their
guilt or innocence.

He went down to the border,
This cast-out, sable youth,
For good, or for evil.
Tor, it may have been, for both. }
Through choking heat and driving
rain,
This starved, misshapen soul did
strain;
Perhaps he hoped for better thing.
Alasl his hopes were vain.
Back from the Country's mission.
From the "Ione STAR state, he
came;
With lusty acclamation,
They gave him lawful fame.
When he wore your oolors,
And he knew the joys of Life.
You backed him up, encouraged
him,
And, bade him onwarc, strive.
But when the coward bullet passed
And he, in silene, lay,
The flag, he'd sworn to honor,
Failed, him respect. to pay.
Neglected by the government,
(The greatest known, tits said,)
Unhonered, and unwept, he lies,
In the city of the dead.

That is why | attend whenever
they are advertised. Mr.. Mackie
said that if we voters purchased
the second generator, it would
drive them out of business, and
would put several hundred work
ers out of employment. Now |
don't think any one believes that
statement but the Fair Play COM

is needed to complete the city plant
and if that closes the New York
plant | think with all of the
city lighting we can take care of
your employees.
But if you read all of the fair play
committee literature, hear all Mr.
Mackie's speeches, you will not
find or hear them give any real
reason why we should not have a
second generator, but YOU all know

protected against breakdowns and
against leaving our city in dark
ness and the private consumers
who are furnished with surplus

reason why every colored home is
not lighted with electfioltyand that
because it is too high to buy.
And when you voted for the gen.
orator, you we're for cheaper
light, not only light but power
for things operated by electrici-
ty, such as electric irons, toasters,
washing machines and many other
things.
So go to the polls early and vote
YES on the generator proposition

not make any mistake, then give
