Here are two pretty wall pockets to
hang beside or ON the dressing table,
ready to hold whatever their owners
choose to put in them. Disks of card
board covered with gayly printed rib
bon make the frivolous and dainty
pocket at the left, and it is suspended
by plain satin ribbon that ends in
small bows at the sides. At the right
two heart-shaped pieces of cardboard
are covered smoothly with red satin
and fastened together. The edges are
finished with narrow putting of ribbon,
and the same ribbon serves to sus-
pend the pocket. This smooth and
matter-of-fact affair is evidently in
tended as a gift for a man. Two
hearts with but single pocket are
quite meaningful. But one might use
diamond, a spade or even a club to
make a similar pocket, and anyone of
them will hold a deck of cards, score
cards, pencils and such things, or pins,
needles and thread for a bachelor,

showing me his wares a voice from
the rear of the shop called: Papa,

I turned to the jeweler and remarked
that the parrots voice sounded almost
human. To my horror the jeweler
said, eThat is not a parrot-that is
my daughter" With a few muttered
words of apology I rushed from the
shop and, although the jeweler had of
fered me some unusually attractive
bargains, nothing could make me face
that jeweler again.-Chicago Tribune.

frowned upon as relic Of popery,
and no special Importance was attach

been tested for the past few years new
remedy for kidney, bladder, uric acid
troubles, rheumatism, gout and such all
ments as follow, and so many cases, both
acute and stubborn, have yielded to this
wonderful remedy that DR.. Pierce decided
to name it Anuric (anti-uric-acid), and
arrange for its distribution to the public
through medicine dealers everywhere. You
will find it many times more active than

=, Washington, Sept. 26.-That Sena
tor Hitchcock has no love for Post
master General Burleson. nor has his
secretary, Earl B. Gaddis, for that
matter. was made patent late yester-
day by Senator Norris. who read
into the Congressional Record two
letters from Gaddis to a Mrs.
Weekes and her husband, Mr..
Weekes.
Mrs. Weekes,, it is stated, was a
former member of the food commits
sion for Nebraska and comes from
Norfolk. From the tenor of the
letters it is inferred that one or the
other was candidate for postmaster
at Norfolk or some other place, but
failed to land.
These letters made their appear
ance in the course of speech by the
Junior senator from Nebraska at
tacking the administration for the
removal Of two civil service COM
missioners, Charles NJ. Galloway, a
democrat from South Carolina, -aad
Herman w. Craven, a republican
from the state of Washington, who
refused to rerate the, examinations
Of candidates for postmasters on the
request of the postmaster general.
While the letters Senator Norris
read to the senate are in a.. way a
defense of Mr.. Burleson. according
to the senator, he said he had no
doubt that in the democratic party
there were many pie-counter states
men who objected to the order of

Democratic Leaders
Will Urge Wilson to
Take Reservations

Washington, Sept. 26. After
President Wilson's return to Wash
ington, democratic leaders in the
senate plan to seek an early CON
ference to advise him of the peace
treaty situation in the senate and to
discuss possible compromise over
reservations.
Some prominent democratic SEN
ators said today they planned to
advise the president carefully to
consider acceptance of some Sort of
reservations, inteEpretative- in char
dcter, at least. Tt was said to be
possible that their advice would ex-
tend to recommendations that reser-
vations be accepted or that the
treaty be withdrawn from the SEN
ate, at least temporarily.
These, democratic. spokesmen are
convinced that the treaty cannot be
ratified without reservations of some
description. They conceded, how
ever, that there might be conflict
in the democratic advice given the
president in view of the adamant
position taken against reservations
by Senator Hitchcock, democrat,
Nebraska, one of the leaders in the
treaty fight :
