The reasons why those engaged in agricultural pursuits should support Governor Woodrow Wilson for Presi dent are strongly set forth by Senator Obediah Gardner of Maine, in an ad- dress to farmers. Senator Gardner is a practical farm- er, one who farms his own farm, and he is probably in closer touch and sympathy with country life and its environments than any other man in public life. For twenty-five years Senator Gard- ner has been actively interested in the National Grange and for ten years he was the master of the State Grange of Maine. A few years ago he came within a close margin of being elected Governor of the Pine Tree State. A little less than a year ago, when Senator Frye, who had represented Maine in the Senate for thirty years, died, Governor Plaisted honored Mr. Gardner, and recognized the agricul- tural interests of the country by ap- pointing him to the United States Sen- ate, where he has made a most credit- able record, devoting particular atten- tion to the welfare of the great rural population of the country. He is now a candidate for re-election and will undoubtedly be successful. In his address Senator Gardner says: To the Gree Bein pant 0 my Sire having been he practical every-day own Par: Paving been for 25 : fours past officially at work th h boa! of - culture and the National and State Granges; havi served four years as second officer of the National Grange and as master of the Maine State G ten ears, during which time the in aine added 35,545 members and attained a power and influence never held before, I feel I am in a position to speak from the standpoint of one who knows the farmer and his needs, and it is solely be- cause of this that I am prompted to ad- Farmers of the United States, ting: ons: of you and for the Fromor dress you. For Yas farmers have justly com- plained of to pull at the being uired short end of the rohD because of unfair and unjust discriminations in legislation and transportation, at the present time the farmers are with being the cause of the h cost of living when as a matter of fact taking collec Vy the amount invested in their business, the hours devoted to hard labor, and every- thing connected with the details of agri- cultural life—they are, as a whole, the rest d class of people in this coun- ry, while relatively the most important. Farmers Have Been Decelved. Jste in the markets of th he price is fixed. covered that the farmer is the sole cause f the hl cost of living, and what hn pens? he President { r.

Woodrow Wilson is elected President. O. GARDNER. WOULD HE ADVERTISE? Mr. Meekins was habitually all that the first syllable of his name might imply, but a day came when the worm turned at last and spoke his mind freely to that other member of the domestic firm who had assumed lead- ership. Mrs. M—— stood aghast and then remarked ominously: “Timothy, you'd regret those words if you should suddenly lose your wife.” “Oh, I don’t want to lose her,” came the cheerful retort, “but there are times when I'd like very much to mis- lay her for a few hours.”—Harper's Bazar, =nough Said. “A small man committed a brave act at the county courthouse yester- day.” “What did he do?” “He got married.” “Why do you consider that such a brave act?” “] saw the woman he married.” Characteristic. were characteristic of him.” “What were thay?" “He died at thy age of eighty-nine and sald he hated to go at so far be- low par.”"—Judge. | | | “That old financier's last words | WHY MAN EXCELS AT GOLF Woman Lacks the Active Physical Training Which Her Brother Gets in Boyhood. It you were asked why men play better golf than women your answer probably would be: because men are stronger than women. And that would be the truth, but only part of it. Possibly the difference in the effec- tiveness of the woman's and the man’s game can, as some people claim, be traced directly to the length of the shot, but the more one investigates the more he is led to qualify this con- clusion. It becomes, on the whole, less reasonable to credit solely to muscular advantage the eight to nine strokes which, roughly, measure the handicap due from a man to a woman. In other words, if a man and a wom- an should happen to have an equal supply of strength and endurance, it seems that the man would turn out to be the better golfer. That is the ques- tion. In the first place, men have far greater game experience. They begin to play bat and ball games at an ear- ller age and thereby develop more thoroughly the “feel” of clubs and the fine eye that is necessary for success in such games. There are all sorts of games that boys amuse themselves with from their earliest youth which give them eye. And when they take a golf club in their hands for the first time the essential act of concentrating their vision on the object to be struck is not a novelty. It is second nature. With a girl it is different. She has not daily played games that developed her eye, such as marbles, “scrub,” hockey, snowballing and target prac- tice, games that are the constant avo- cations of bipeds who practice the profession of being boys. And yet one of the greatest of women golfers as- sures me that women have shown in tournaments more concentration of the eye than men and that only last fall this fact was proved. It appears that a computation was made both at the men's championship and the wom- en's which proved that the women missed their drives less often than the men.~—Charles Alden Seltzer in the Outing Magazine. First Rook to Talk. In New street, Horsham, England, says a writer in the May Strand, there is to be seen the very exceptional and interesting spectacle of a talking rook. The bird is the property of two school children, a little girl and boy, who caught it five years ago, when it was quite a baby, in a local rookery. It is of the gentler sex, and occupies a small pen in a tiny back garden. No attempt has ever been made te teach the rook to talk, and yet she has a vocabulary of close upon 100 simple words. She is often allowed out in the garden, for, although ske can fly swiftly and strongly, she can be trust- ed not to make her escape. It is said that this is the first instance of a rook developing the power to talk. Just Like the Bible. Niles, who is 10 years old, has a weakness for attending the circus, and he willingly goes to church with his mother when the circus season ap- proaches and doesn’t hesitate to point to his Sabbath rectitude as one of the reasons why he should be permitted to go to the circus. When the circus came this week he filed his regular petition for permis- sion to attend. “You have seen the circus three times, Niles,” said his mother, “and I don’t believe you need to see it again.” “Well, mother,” he answered, “I think a circus is a lot like the Bible; you can't get too much of it.” The afternoon performance found Niles and his mother looking on. A Doubtful Compliment. Edward J. Watkins, is in a quandary over a statement made to him at the Pendennis club. He does not know whether to be flattered or offended. At the club, a negro boy as black as a shoe, is in charge of the check room, and while taking Watkins’ hat and coat, he cast an admiring glance at Mr. Watkins's new gray suit, and said: “Mr. Watkins, that's the best looking suit I see this year. I'd like to buy some of your close, sir, some- times if you got any you'd dispose of. You dress more to a nigger's taste than any other gentleman at the club; yessir.” Rather Absurd. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a few days after his regrettable resignation, was talking to a Washington correspond- ent about an adulterated food. “But the manufacturer says he can prove the adulteration does not harm,” the correspondent ventured. “Well,” answered Dr. Wiley, with a smile, “if he tries to prove that, he'll involve himself as absurdly as the man who declared in triumph: “‘Nobody can have two birthdays but a twin" Hardly Fair. “Which is your favorite among the plays of Shakespeare, Mr. Henpeck?” “ “The Taming of the Shrew.’"” “But do you think you ought to per- mit your personal feeling to get the better of your judgment in such a mat. ter?” The Likeness. Mrs. Newed—I suppose now we have disagreed, you are comparing | this to your old home, Mr. Newed—Exactly. This is just liza the rows mother used to make. AFTERNOON TEA TABLE ACCESSORIES THAT ACCOMPANY THE CHEERING CUP. Protty Surroundings, Easily Acquired, Add Greatly to the Pleasure of the Gatherings in Closing Hours of the Afternoon. If you have not a regular tea table, an easy way of serving the cheering cup that never is more cheering than in the late afternoon, is to have a Jap- anese tea basket and keep it in an inconspicuous part of the living ronm, where it will be always in readiness. These baskets, according to their size, hold a service for from two to a dozen persons, and, in addition to the alco- hol stove, accommodate a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, cups, saucers and plates of Old Canton, royal medallion, Satsuma, Delft, willow or Semedi and the various familiar wares made in Japan. Best of all, the thickly wadded basket makes an ideal tea cozy and one which is easily handled. When only two persons are to be served with tea, the simplest way of making the beverage is to use a pair of tea balls. These come in solid or German silver attached to handles of celluloid, carved deerhorn or silver, and none of them are too expensive for the woman of moderate income to get along without. For the tea table, which is kept set, always in readiness to be wheeled or carried into the livifg room, there are innumerable little conveniences. One of these conveniences is the airtight tea caddy of Japanese pewter, chased brass, carved bamboo, plain burnished copper or tin-lined lacquer, and an- other is the Lazy Susie. Lazy Susie is a tidbit tray with a nickel-plated frame and three glass shelves for hold- ing sandwiches and cakes. Every tea table now has its tiny jardiniere, either of hand-stamped Egyptian brass, of Japanese split bam- boo or of silver deposit; its fruit dish of white lacquered perforated zinc and its bread basket of pierced silver with square, upright center handle. The lighting of the tea table is of vast importance, for, of course, the il- lumination must come from above the head of the hostess, lest it cast deep shadows upon her face and make it look old and worn. From the wall near which the tea equipage usually is placed there should extend a two or three arm brass sconce with shaded candles, or a sconce with inverted in- candescent lights with inner globes covered with square glass shades of an effective color. Lacking the sta- tionary lights, it is nice to have a tall, lamp of Damascus brass with match- ing shade or a pair of Japanese brass and copper candlesticks with copper shades done in wickerwork design. SMARTENS UP OLD WAISTS Little Bolero of Embroidery in the Latest Fashion, Surely Will Work Wonders. Some of the new dress garnitures are really net boleros, resplendent with jewels, spangles and beads. They are so elaborate as to suggest the glitter of the stage dancer, but are not overgenerous when worn with the dark gown of simple lines. A good device in making over the last year's dress is to use the little bolero of em- broidery. It will make an old waist look very smart. Oriental embroider- ies may be used in this way to good advantage. The most economical and satisfac- tory way of obtaining a hand-embroi- dered shirt wast is to purchase a ready made waist with machine embroi- dered design, and work over the em- broidery by hand, thus saving stamp- ing, padding and making *he waist. A blouse embroidered in this way is just as truly hand embroidered, with the added advantage of being quickly and accurately done. Cult of Gathers. In many of the little lingerie dress- es a slight fulness is distributed in gathers about a waistline that has again shifted to about its normal po- sition. These gathers, however, are only possible for slim figures, They are flattened into tucks for more portly forms. Ar attractive yoke is made by shirring this fulness over cords, but let the one with the least tendency to plumpness beware of this effect if any tidiness of figure is prized. The horizontal lines of these cords about the hips have a directly oppo- site effect from the long, vertical lines on which everything has been planned for some seasons past—so there is a discount on one's height. Naturally, any fabric intended for shirring over cord must be of a decidedly diaphanous nature. Where a second material is used for trimming, chiffon cloth is found very successful, because this season it can be used with almost every sheer textile that is used for summer frocks. Then, too, it comes in almost every possible shade of all colors. As another qualification in its favor it has just suffi:ient resiliency of texture to keep it from getting a flattened out, crushed look after being worn a few times. Water on the Face. Hard water, if use daily on the face, will soon age you and make the skin coarse and discolored. Distilled water if used only on the face is not very expensive, as you need only dampen a corner of the towel with it, to wipe the face in the morning, if the skin has been cleansed with the cleansing cream at night.
