Mrs. Henpeck—Did you ever hear of
anything worse than a man who
who smokes in the house?
Mr. Henpeck—Yes. A smoking lamp.
Ask me another!
He Bit.
Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of
New York said of graft at a recent
dinner:
"The grafter isn't so easily caught;
he isn't quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
"This old fellow was suspected of
tampering with the church collections.
A couple of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
" 'That's a line horse, deacon,' th«
old fellow shouted. 'Did you buy him
at the fair?'
" 'Yes,' said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
"'I bought him with my picking*
out of the collection plate.'
"The old man looked horrified.
"'Good gracious!' he said. 'l've
often taken enough myself to buy a
hat or a pair of trousers; but, deacon,
in takin' enough to buy a horse ain't
ye committin' a positive sin!'"
Definite Location.
Every visitor at the new capitol at
Harrisburg, Pa., who gets as far as
the registration room, is expected to
write his name in a big book, together
with his birthplace and present resi
dence, says the Troy Times. Not
long ago, when a crowd of excursion
ists visited the grounds and buildings,
a stout girl started to register.
She paused, pen poised in air, and
called out to an elderly lady, com
fortably seated in a big chair, "Mon,
vere vas I borned at?"
"Vat you vant to know dat for?"
"Dis man vants to put it in der big
book."
"Ach," answered the mother, "you
know veil enough—in der old stone
house."
Will Seek the South Pole.
A. Henry Savage Landor, the Eng
lish explorer, who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, is of
the opinion that Lieut. Shackleton
failed through having a cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr. Landor's theory is that a small
caravan of trusted and hardy men,
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
through Asia and Africa, is best. Mr.
Landor's activity in aeronautic inves
tigations gives color to the rumor that
an airship will be used by him in hig
expedition.
Proper Love for Wife.
"When a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his nicest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.
"He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother, the polite
ness he shows other women and the
responsibility he feels toward his sis
ter.
"To all of that he should add the
great love he should feel for a wife."

fane?"
"Well, mum," answered the sailor
man,"l s-pose it's part my fault
Every lime I hear him speak a bad
word it makes me so mad that he gets
a chance to learn a lot of new ones."

I Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds, by
a Recognized Authority
"Maud Muller" Party.
During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the tiling. A hostess noted
for her originality invited her friends
to a "Maud Muller" party. The invi
tations said: "Informal; please come
in country costumes." As she lived in
a suburb, time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was five, and
a merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was at
the station, with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven by
the regular farm men instead of the
liveried coach and footman. There
were horns for the men, and the
hostess awaited them on the steps of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib
bons and the girls had blue ones.
Rakes with gilt handles were given
the girls, who were thus attired as
"Maud Mullers," and went forth to
rake the hay on this charming sum
mer day which had gotten by mistake
Into the fall calendar.
The girl who made the largest stack
in ten minutes was awarded a prize;
also, there was a prize for the neat
est stack. The men superintended
this, and then a plow was brought for
the men to try their skill, with prizes
for the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time. By
this time twilight %vas falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the cows milked. Then all adjourned
to the dining room, where a suptuous
supper was served, everything except
the meats being a product of the
place. The decorations were most
unique, being likewise home produc
tions. Gourds, small squashes and
pumpkins were converted into most
attractive flower holders, and the flow
ers were wild purple asters and gold
en rod, the combination being a most
liappy one. At half-after eight the
hay wagon came to the door and a
drive of an hour was taken over the
hardest of country roads and then
back to the station in time for the ten
o'clock train. Afterwards in talking
it over we all agreed that our host
ess was so successful because her en
tertainments were so simple and she
so natural and unaffected. Not but
what she could and sometimes did en
tert formally and had plenty of
money to spend; yet her favorite way
was to do things on the spur of the
moment, and she always mado use of
the things that were in season.
She also had the art of always as
sembling just the right people togeth
er, and always remembered who hated
"bridge," who didn't like golf and who
loathed to dress for a formal dinner
party. On the quiet. I think she keeps
a book with the peculiarities of each
one of her friends carefully jotted
down, just when she entertained them,
and just what she served on each oc
casion. At least that is the way one
of the best entertainers I ever knew
does, and it is worth considering.

Easily Made
Home-Made Study Table, Consisting of a Board and Two Orange Boxes.
THE STUDY TABLE in the sketch is possible, even In homes where econ- !
oniy must be observed, for the eost is a mere trotle —two five-cent orange
or lemon boxes, obtained from the grocer, a can of wood filler and mis
sion stain and a paint brush being all that is required. The large flat
board that serves as a table top may be purchased from a carpenter for
very little —or often a wooden board may be found, scrubbed and painted and
pressed into excellent service. The top of the board must be perfectly
smooth.
First a coat of wood filler is put on the boxes and board. When dry a
second coat is applied if the wood seems at all rough. Then apply the mis
sion stain or any other wood stain desired. Place the boxes the width of the
board apart, with the front edge of the against the front edge of the
board, and nail the board on the boxes in each corner, being careful that the
points of the nails are not long enough to project through the under side of
the top of the boxes.
Little Bilk or print curtains may be hung around the ends and across tie
opeu front of the boxes if one wishes and they give u dainty touch.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1909.
children from eight to ten years of
age, the souvenirs were made by the
guests from corn husks which they
transformed into dolls. A face was
penciled on the green stub of corn,
the husks made the dress and the silk
carefully braided made the hair; bon
nets were also made from the husks.
These dolls were really charming,
and the prize awarded for the best
was a delightful little booklet in which
corn liusk dolly was the heroine; it
was written by a clever woman musi
cian. Tills idea is just as applicable
for a "grown-ups" party as for chil
dren, for I never saw a woman yet,
whether she admitted it or not, who
didn't like a chance to play dolls.
For a Card Party.
At a "500" party to which 24 guests
were bidden, the hostess had these
refreshments: Nut sandwiches, lob
ster salad, coffee, ice cream and
small cakes. The sandwiches were
constructed of white bread cut ex
actly the size of a playing card. Red
hearts and diamonds were cut from
beats and stuck on the bread like
spots with butter. The ice cream
was a rich vanilla made in bricks and
sliced like a card ornamented with
hearts and diamonds cut from
Maraschino cherries. The cakes rep
resented hearts, spades, clubs and dia
monds cut with specially made tin
cutters. The place cards were tiny
packs of cards, gilt edged. They were
only an inch and a half in length.
Announcing an Engagement.
"Polly" declared she must have
some unusual way of announcing her
engagement, so after much careful
thought this was evolved: The 20 spe
cial friends were asked for a thimble
party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest l'ound a little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found a
jumbled lot of letters, that the letters
of each color would spell one word,
and there was just one word in each
envelope and all were the same color
in «ach envelope, so each one made
their word, and the light gradually
dawned as the; story was told by the
guests putting their wofds together.
It was great fun and ended the after
noon in a most happy manner, as the
little bride-elect was a great favorite,
and she was fairly beaming when all
began to offer • .nod wishes and wanted
to know "all about it."
MADAME MERRI.
Cleaning Plumes.
A woman who has success in clean
ing ostrich and other feathers puts a
cupful of Indian meal, half a cupful of
flour and three level tablespoonfuls of
borax into a paper bag, and with it
one large or two or three small feath
ers.
These she shakes about until the
soil has disappeared from the feathers,
and then she shakes them free from
the mixture. Fine knitted wool arti
cles and laces are sometimes cleaned
in this way.

When to Send Children to Europe.
Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evi
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. Oth
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when —
as an American —he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera.—
Judge's Library.
True Representative of Race.
Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg may claim
this distinction, that he is the first
German chancellor to wear a beard.
Bismarck hastened to shave his off
when he entered upon diplomacy, and
showed his rivals and enemies a
massive jaw and clear-cut chin; and
he shaved to the end, with an inter
val enforced by neuralgia in the early
'Bos. As a soldier, too Caprivi shaved,
all but his mustache, and so did
Hohenlohe and Bulow. But Beth
mann-Hollweg is gaunt, rugged, hir
sute, pan-Germanic.
Poverty and Consumption.
That poverty is a friend to consump
tion is demonstrated by some recent
German statistics, which show that of
10,000 well-to-do persons 40 annually
die of consumption; of the same num
ber only moderately well-to-do, 66; of
the same number of really poor, 77;
and of paupers, 97. According to John
Burns, the famous English labor lead
er, 90 per cent, of the consumptives in
London receive charitable relief in
their homes.
FOOD QUESTION
Bettled with Perfect Satisfaction by
a Dyspeptic.
It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep
sia and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husband's health was poor, he
had 110 appetite for anything I could
get lor him, it seemed.
"He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
"Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, I
got some and tried it for Breakfast the
next morning.
"We all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape-
Nuts.
"It was the same next day and I
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
'Have yon any Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So I began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
"My husband's health began to im
prove right along. I sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same oJd question,
'Have you any Grape-Nuts?'
"He got so well that for the last
two fears he has hardly lost a day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's
a reason."

"About two years ago I was troubled
with my head being scaly. Shortly
after that I had an attack of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two months when I first no
ticed the loss of hair, my scalp being
still scaly. I started to use dandruff
cures to no effect whatever. I had
actually lost hope of saving any hair
at all. I could brush it off my coat
by the handful. I was afraid to comb
it. But after using two cakes of Cuti
cura Soap and nearly a box of Cuti
cura Ointment, the change was sur
prising. My scalp is now clear and
healthy as could bo and my hair thick
er than ever, whereas I had my mind
made up to be bald. \V. F. Steese, 5812

Origin of Word "Bible."
The word hible is derived from the
Latin name biblia, which was treated
as a singular although it conies from
the Greek neuter plural, meaning "lit- I
tie books." This Greek diminutive
was derived from byblus, or papyrus. ,
the famous material on which ancient j
books were written. The title "Bible"
was first used about the middle of the
second Christian century in the so- I
called second epistle of Clement I
(xiv., 2).
