Men admire wemen who are per
fectly square, but not too angular.
A$50 milliner’s creation is a poor
sort of cap for a girl to set in an
attempt to catch an economical
bachelor.
It has been proven that the book
keeping farmer of today is the most
successful farmer. Why not es
tablish a bookkeeping system and
be a success.
It is with fear and trembling that
we would beseech those who ride
in automobiles to honk-honk both
loud and long in the course of their
meanderings to the end that all
poor creatures like ourselves may
have a reasonably fair chance to
escape with our lives.
BILL TO REDUCE THE HOUSE MEMBERSHIP.
A bill has been introduced into
the house of Representatives to
reduce its membership from 435
members to 300 members. This
bill is receiving strong support from
the people in all sections and it is
very likely that it will become an
issue in many of the districts next
year. The House of representatives
is now so large that it is unweildly
and is no longer a representative
body as a few men absolutely dic
tate its action. The membership
should be reduced and the salaries
doubled, and then we will have good
able men in congress.
TARRIFF BILL MAKING HEADWAY
Voting on amendments to the
tariff bill has begun and not only
are the Democrats sticking well
together, but many of the progress
ive republican Senators are voting
with them. Senator Cummins of
Iowa, Bristow of Kansas, LaFoll
ette of Wisconsin, Works of Calif.,
Crawford of S. D., and Norris of
Nebr., all whom are "progressives”,
voted with the Democrats last week
They would be in an awkard posi
tion if they refused to vote for a
reduction of the tariff, on which
issue they left the republican fold.
EXTENDING PARCEL POST.
Postmaster General Burleson is
arranging to raise the limit of 11
pounds allowed by parcel post act
and allow larger heavier packages
to pass through the mails which
will be a great blessing to the peo
ple. He is also expecting to lower
the rates which are fifty per cent
ta« high, as the “express compan
ies" through their lobbyists had
much to 49 in shaping the bill when
jt was before the Senate, and it
was the aim of the express com
panies to make the use of parcel
post as limited as possible, and
crooked lobkyist have always been
able to do business with the Senate
in the past, as Mulhall the lobby
king has in his recent testimony.
Senator Bryan of Fla., (Dem.)and
other Senators are attacking Bur
leson for improving and extending
Parcel Post. Senator Bryan
should state however that he rep
resents the Express companies in
the Senate and not the sta*e of
Florida.
PRESIDENTS NOLO ON THE PEOPLE.
A special election was held last
week in the 6th Congressional dis
trict of New Jersey to fill a vacancy
and the Democratic nominee en
dorsed by President Wilson won by
6,000 plurality, and a clear majority
over both republican and progress
ive canidates of more than 2.000.
If there is anyone who has doubt
»bout where President Wilson
stands in the confidence and affec
,ion of the people of this country,
that election ought to settle it.
Strikes.
A strike is a determination on the
part of a large number of men to
abstain from working in a firm and
vociferous manner.
This is usually pretty hard on the
men and they loose weight rapidly
because their pay checks also re
frain from work during the strike
and the cruel grocer asks for cash
in advance. But the strike is not
very hard on the owners of the
factory whose employees are un
animously resting. A factory
which is enjoying a strike is about
as useless and expensive as a pri
vate yacht. It requires a tremen
dous effort of the will to enyy the
owner of a factory whose workmen
are all on the outside picking daisies
and brick bats, while the interests
charges and taxes go relentlessly
on.
Men do not strike for the mere
joy of sitting around and waiting
for last week’s meal to materalize
They strike because they have
been abused, or unpaid, or imposed
upon, or because clause 78 of the
contract has been broken or bent
bv the party of the second part.
Nothing in the line of argument
approaches a strike in eloquence.
Many a body of men have argued
with their employers for years with
out doing more than to jar an
"Ah. indeed” out of them, and have
then struck and have made said
employers see the whole point in
less than a month.
Strikes have been so successful
that almost all workmen are now
organized and can strike whenever
they feel like it. Moreover, almost
all employers are now organized
and can tell the strikes to go to
thunder with great emphasis.
Everyone is organized except the
consumer. The consumer ought
to have sense enough to run a few
strikes by himself.
What we need in this country is
a strike by the National Union of
Porterhouse Steak consumers for
lower prices. It would help a good
deal.
A strike by the Amalgamated
Theater-goers would make the
ticket scalper curl up and die in
great pain.
A strike by the Journeymen Car
Catchers would cause the street
car companies to hang seats all
over their cars if necessary.
If the Alied Telephone Users
were to go out in a body and parade
the streets for a few weeks, the
recording angel would no longer
help whenever a quick tempered
man tried to use the telephone.
Strikes are grand things if prop
erly used, but they are not appre
ciated by the consumer and he in
turn will not be appreciated until
he learns how to strike with ease
and grace on all occasions.

Scratching for fgn.
We would have great sympathy
for those who have to scratch con
tinually, if there wasn't a remedy
for the trouble, but as Hun'ts Cure

who scratch do so just for tne fun
of it. It's a special remedy for

BARBARA
And the Beast
By Dorothy Blackmore
Barbara Graham was an artist, and
like most of her kind she was strug
gling to keep the wolf from stepping
over the threshold of her studio.
Practical beyond the usual run of
young woman possessed of the artis
tic temperament, she had even gone
so far as to make capital out of that
same hungry wolf by painting his im
tginary image so realistically that It
sold for a goodly sum.
Animals were Barbara’s specialty.
She had been a lover of the dumb
beasts ever since she was old enough
to lorve anything, and when she took
up her palette and brush her fancy
seemed to run always to animals.
For this reason, she had obtained for
the summer months an outdoor studio
converted from the small back garden
of an English basement house. She
found, it more convenient for her ani
mal models and, in lieu of going to the
countrv herself, she found the outdoor
work beneficial. An old stone wall en
closed the garden and Ivy and Virginia
creepers struggled over it here and
there. The small grass plot in the
center was edged with bright, old
tashioned flowers, and Barbara had
added a rustic urn or two to the cor
ners.
This morning she was putting the
finishing touches to a canvas over
which she had worked unusually hard.
In the picture a big. tri-colored mother
■ at lay In^an overturned basket with
her small family about her.
Barbara had discovered the feline
family In her big rustic chair one
morning when she came down to work
md she had taken it as a gift from the
;ods, for she was in need of a model
for a new canvas. She had waited
only long enough for the wee kittens
to get their eyes open and assume fat
and chubby proportions before begin
uing to transfer their likenesses to her
canvas. Meantime, she bad made ihe
mother cal comfortable in a basket
and fed her half a bottle of her own
precious milk each morning.
This picture, will) two others, was
to be hung in a small exhibit during
the approaching winter.
Barbara now had two of her pictures
ready, and, for the third, she was wor
ried. It was an easjt enough matter to
go to the animal home and secure a
model from which to paint, but Oar
bara's heart was set on painting a
certain little thoroughbred dog she had
seen pass her windows every morning
lor three weeks. The question was—
how to get him! The dog followed Ills
master closely and Barbara could not
well accost a stranger and beg to be
allowed to paint his pet dog.
As she stood putting little touches
here and there to the cluster of kittens
m her easel and realised that the
work before her was finished, she be
anie more and more obsessed with the
tesire to paint that while dog for her
:bird picture. She placed great hope
n the criticism of the work to be hung
big winter and something told her she
onld do her best work If inspired by
that strange little animal.
She became restless and, n nklng the
kittens comfortable in the righted bas
ket, she donned her hat and went
forth to walk olT her uneasiness.
Barbara had been of the idea, ever
since site had come to the big city to
follow her profession, that if she did
exactly what was right at all times,
thought evil of no one and harmed no
one by deed or word, she would be
given all ttiat was her due. She had
been brought up with this idea and
the teachings of her mother clung to
net now that she was alone in the
world.
Therefore. ns she walked she
thought, and gradually a peaceful feel
ing took the place of the spirit of un
rest that had possessed her for days.
After a turn through a nearby park
site retraced iter footsteps toward
her studio.
When she was within half a block
of tile house behind which was her
work-garden, site was surprised to see
the old tri colored mother cat ap
proaching her. It was the custonrof
lie animal, after she had put Iter ba
bies to sleep, to mount the garden wall
and ro out for air and exercise, but
Barbara was not expecting to see her
•u tlie public street.
"Well, Puss, ’ Barbara was beginning,
\j£l had stopped to pick up the animal
■vnen, with a spit and a growl and
S rapidly bushing tail, the eat made
or " the narrow passageway between
he houses, a white dog in full pur
uit.
'My dog'" cried Barbara aloud, and
■unking to peep down the narrow
utssage "Oh. if I could only keep
.iin! <hp wished aloud.
Footsteps came quickly behind her.
I beg pardon, irtj dog Is chasing your
at," said a man's voice benliid her.
lia bara turned and faced the owner
of the dog
"Hj was," Barbara corrected. “She
— Puss has climbed the wall and your
dog Is barking frantically at her.”
The iuhij followed llarbara’s direc
tion and saw bis white dog dauclng
about in a mud desire to be at the ob
leet qf bis chase.
"He's death on cats—Is Tcbucaats,"
he explained. "I m glad he did not
get her I beg a thousand pardons in
Ills be'.alf ”
"Jts hate,” Barbara said .half to
herself.
The man looked at her oddly Per
naps this young woman—though intel
tigen. and unusually pretty—was not
quite right in her mind Suddenly Bar
bara looked him squarely in the eyes
and hiti doubt fled.
"I must explain," she began "1—
am an artist and animals are my forte
I have seen you pass with your dog
for days, and ever since l .'aid eyes on
him I have wanted to paint him. He
is such a beauty with his long white
coat and his pert little body. That’s
the reason 1 say this is Fate, for now
i shall have the temerity to ask If I
may use him for a model long enough
to get him sketched into the can
vas. I—”
"But of course you may," the man
interrupted. "Nothing would please me
more. I'm proud of Tchucaats as you
may well believe when 1 tell you I
brought him all the way from Nome
He is an Esquimau dog and 1 had a
hard time keping him the first sum
mer in this part of the country."
"1 thought he had come from a cold
climate with that coat," Barbara said,
her eyes on the now discouraged
canine.
"Here, Tchucaats," called the man.
Come and make your apologies to—”
"Barbara Graham," quickly supple
mented Barbara, a rich color spread
ing over her face.
"Miss Graham," the man repeated,
bowing.
“And 1 may paint him?" she asked,
ill her artist’s soul rejoicing
"Most certainly. When will you
want him?" the man asked, pulling the
ears of the animal beside him.
Barbara thought a moment. “I'll
have to find a home for my kittles be
ore 1 dare to bring their enemy into
the studio,” she explained. “Would
tomorrow do?" she asked
"The sooner the better—eh, Tchu
caals?" the man asked "I will brinR
him tomorrow morning and—’’ pro
during his card—"this is his owner's
name."
Barbara took the card. With her
eyes on it sho confessed to the uncon
ventlonal situation and apologized; but
her plea wras that her one passion in
life was to succeed in her art and tha'
If properly inspired she could do bet
ter work.
The man understood, and left her
with the promise to bring hiB dog on
the following piorning.
it took only a few days—for Bar
barn worked constantly—to sketch in
he figure of the dog, and then the
artist was forced to admit that she
could continue the work without the
presence of the model.
‘But it is no trouble for me to leave
aim- if it would be easier for you,"
he man insisted.
Barbara smiled up at him. “Of
course it would be easier, but—’’
"Then lie shall come," the man In
terruptcd with a determined expres
don.
Barbara said nothing She was
•queezing the contents of a small tube
.into her palette with wonted extrava
gance.
“And—Miss Graham," the man be
gan, waiting for her to ansyer hitu by
looking up—"might the master come
some day after studio hours, and sit
with the artist—if not for her?”
“Yes," Barbara answered, “he might
—if he likes.”
John Harden sat In the rustic studio
many times after that, and when the
picture his dog had Inspired took an
honorable mention at the exhibit be
bought It to hang—in their home, his
own and Barbara's.
WHAT IS A DOORBELL FOR?
Cy Pose Insisted That His Neighbors
Must Use the Improvements
on the House.
Cy Pose whs considered somewhat
of a character round Hickory Forks
When tie built his new house, be de
clared that it was not going to be a
mere place to stay in. He was going to
have all the "frills.” Anyway, lie had
a doorbell, then a new thing in the
neighborhood.
Soon after the new house was com
pleted. Josh Briggs, an old neghbor
who lived on the farm Just up the
road, came over one Sunday afternoon
for a little call. It was pleasant fall
weather. The windows were all open,
but the tront door was shut.
Josh knocked a little timldely, for
everything looked pretty fine.
Cy. comfortably rocking in the front
room, gave no heed.
Josti knocked again—louder.
Cy rocked away, silently
Josh grew restive after a moment’s
wait and knocked again—a good loud
knock.
Cy rocked on.
Josh changed feet, wiped his face,
puzzled and offended, for he knew the
folks were at home. Once more lie
tried it, a loud, continued knock that
resounded over the entire place.
Whereupon Cy, still rocking com
fortably, yelled:
“Bing the doorbell, consarn ye!
Don't you know nothin'?"—Youth's
Companion.
Colored Teeth,
Traily teeth are not the fashion ev
cry where. Firms of artificial teeth
manufacturers who have an export
trade have to keep In stock molars of
every shade of color from white to
black. There is a steady demand for
black teeth in Siam, Java. Batavia, and
Burma, where the natives chew the
betelnut, which blackens the teeth.
For Persia the teeth roust be abso
lutely milk white. Recently an order
was received from Bhavnagar, In In
dia, for some bright red and blue art!

lsrly supplied to dentists in shades to
