MARSHAL PILSUDSKI ADDS
 TO HIS COLONEL GROUP"
Poland's Leader Strengthens Grip On Government In His Battle With
 Parliament-Slawek Help.

Warsaw, Aug. 26 P-Poland's re- doubtable marshal, Joseph Pilsud- ski, today took a firm grip on the reins of government, determined to fight to a finish with parliament, in the opinion of most of the political observers who have analysed the new cabinet.
 Not only has Marshal Pilsudski retained his so-called colonel group but another colonel has been added as well, in the person of Joseph Beck.
 There is little doubt that former Premier slawek, as government whip in parliament will effectively support Pilsudski's maneuvers. Politicians recall that Pilsudski. since last March, has been empha- sizing that Poland must have "six months in which to recuperate from the discord in the sejm." Now that he has taken affairs into his own hands it is believed that he will per init parliament to meet, but infre- quently.

Household Methods
ny BETSY cALLfsrER.

Some people seem to think that the
more dust they raise in housekeeping
the more proof that they are cleaning
thoroughly. But this Is foolish atti-
tude to take. The fact Is. the more
dust you raise the more pointless your
work, for If you raise dust 1t merely
means that you are chasing 1t out OF
the carpet or furniture In which 1t has
accumulated and are sending 1t to
rest somewhere else or to be scattered
through the air.
It Is only within the last few years
that we are realizing the real folly
of feather busters and other aust scat
terers that undoubtedly scare up dust
and dirt containing disease germs and
spread them broadcast. Moreover, dust
dislodged in this way is irritating to
the throat, eyes and skin OF the
worker.
When you plan to do your Spring
housecleaning, II you do not own
vacuum cleaner, rent one. It VIII not

Attachments for your cleaner, rent Q
set of them for the housekeeping. With
them you will be able to clean mould
ings and inaccessible places In your
house without soaring up the dust.
If you have no electricity In your
house you viii not be able TO have 9
cleaner. Then you should have AL
rugs and carpets taken o good dis
lance from the house to be cleaned
Do all busting with damp cloths and
busters. If there are carpets that you
do not take up sprinkle them with
naoistened sawdust- before you sweep
them.

April 20, 1866. Wilkes Booth and
Hercld were chased from a swamp in
st. Marys County, Md, this morning.
according to information that reached
here tonight, and made, their escape
across the Potomac River. They were
pursued to CARROTS farm. near Port
Royal, on the Rappahannock River, In
Virginia, by Col. Bakers forces. % *
Booth, attempting to escape from a
bern which had been set on FIRE, was
shot in the head. He fingered about
three hours and died. Herold, accord
ing to this report, was taken alive.
1t is impossible tonight to know how
accurate this information may be. II
is said that Herold and the body OF
Booth are being brought to this city and
will arrive here tomorrow. Full particu-
lars will then, doubtless, 'e available.

the Black Diamond, steam propeller
chartered by the Quartermaster Depart

The Massachusetts, was badly dam

water lire. Many Of the soldiers on
board of her, thinking she was about to
sink, sprang over her sides and sue

Diamond, which had hauled up to
render assistance. 1t was supposed by
Capt. Meredith that the Black Diamond
had not been seriously damaged.
Unfortunately, however, the Black
Diamond had been struck amidship,
which caused her to take in water rap

A steam propeller has just left mere

Diamond went down, succeeded IN
reaching Point Lookout. Nd. safely,
where she landed the remainder OF the
troops.

Despite her watchfulness she failed to
notice Grandfather Frog. Perhaps that
was because he didn't move and his
coat was so much the color of the green
things around. Had she noticed 1t she
would have warned the babies to keep
away from there. But she didn't notice
and presently she was very busy tip
ping up and standing on her head In
the water while she picked up that de-
licious yellow corn on the bottom. Each
time when she righted herself she took
q hasty look at the babies to make quite
sure that they were safe. Then down
she would 60 again.
Now, right there the water was too
deep for the babies to tip UP and reach
the bottom. Besides, they were not hun
cry now anyway. So they just played
around. BY and by one of them by
chance discovered Grandfather Frog.
Grandfather Frog had moved ever so
little. Right away the babies gathered
around at q safe distance. to stare ct
this curious old fellow They had al
ready seen some little Frogs, but never
had they seen one as big as Grand
to make Of 1t.
Grandfather Frog sat still and said
nothing. He didn't even blink an eye.
But, inside, Grandfather Frog was feel
ing very good. He had made up his
mind he was going to have one of those
ducklings. They were a trifle big, to be
sure, but Grandfather Frog never heSi-
tates because Of size. More than once
he has swallowed hsh so big that the
tail would remain sticking out Of his
mouth for some time. So Grandfather
Frog had no intention Of allowing size
to interfere with his appetite, so long
as there was any chance at all OF swal-
lowing what he caught.
Little by little the baby Quacks now
drifted in nearer and nearer to where
Grandfather Frog sat. AL the time they
were staring at him and wondering who
he was and what he was. They couldn't
understand him at all. They were not
afraid, because there was nothing to
give them fear. They hadn't been warn
ed against Grandfather Frog. So they
just drifted nearer and nearer and
Grandfather Frog grew more and more
excited. But he didn't show that ex-
element. Meanwhile he kept. watch
full eye on Mother Quack. At last he
saw her start to swim over to see what
the babies were looking at. He knew
then that he must act quickly. He did.
He made a lunge at the nearest baby
and just barely missed 1t. But such q
fright as all those babies had when
Grandfather Frog so abruptly came to
life! How they padded for Mother!
And how Mother swan to meet them!
AS for Grandfather Frog, he dived down
to the bottom of the pond and disap-
peared in the mud.

Grandfather Frog sat on his big green

Not even when foolish green fly came
past did those eyes open. Grandfather
Frog looked as if he were taking a sun
nap. Not far away Mrs. Quack ana all
the baby Quacks were very busy getting
something to eat. Grandfather Frog
could get glimpses of them now and
then when they would come out from
behind little tussocks Of grass and bull

he could hear them. He didn't seem
to be in the least interested in them,
but In reality he was.

Quick, intense stimulation Is what
you need. A very hot bath Is the best
way, with mustard In the water TO
make its heat more penetrating and TO
make the bath unusually soothing and
refreshing. But II you have not time
for this, concentrate on your face and
neck and hands and arms. For you
must have face treatment, even If
you take bath IS well.

clear the windows, except for a. few
inches each side, when they hang
straight, or to have them looped back
tightly and high up on each side when,

Such arrangements keep the windows
