ance, Though 70 Years Old.
Kansas City, Mo. —Rev. Watson
Dana, cousin of the late Charles A.
Dana, the famous editor of the New
York Sun, and of John D. Arclibold,
the Standard Oil multi-millionaire,
who visited in this city at the home
of his son. 1216 Tracy avenue recent
ly, although more than 70 years old,
has never raised his hat to a woman,
and declares he never will.
"No man has greater respect for
womankind than I," said Rev. Mr.
liana, "but for a man to raise his hat
to iter is an act of sacrilege. The
Bible teaches us to uncover on enter
ing the temple of the most high, and
this mark of respect 1 reserve for my
God."
Mr. Dana has never touched liquor,
never chewed tobacco, smoked or
gambled, has never told a lie and lias
preached tiie Gospel for 50 years. He
lias never entered a theater or seen a
theatrical performance, has never
traveled a mile on train or boat on
Sunday.
He lias not an enemy in the world
and has never spoken unkindly of his
fellowman. He has the reputation of
being the best loved man in Ohio.
He has given away a fortune, but has
never been involved in a lawsuit and
has never had a fight.
Rev. Watson Dana's great-grand
father was one of the party that first
settled in Washington county, Ohio,
in 1778. They founded the town of
Newport, a city that is surrounded
with historical spots and famous (
places.
He was born in 1836 in the house
his father built on Dana's run, with- j
in a stone's throw of the Dana mill, j
whose crumbling stone walls served
for pictures for many a famous artist.
Ills father was a minister and the
boy grew up in an atmosphere of re
ligion. Early in life he began preach
ing. As he expresses it, his college
course was taken behind the counter
of a country store and his theological
course on horseback.
There was not a railroad in the
state in his boyhood and many a ride
of 30, 40 and 50 miles he has taken
on horseback that he might be able
to preach to a few furmers and set
tlers in a little neighborhood, too
poor to support a minister.
Time and again he has been called

late at night to ride through storm
and cold to the bedside of some par
ishioner. He frequently walked miles
to preach rather than profane the Sab
bath by taking a convenient train. He
has »"*v»r had his life insured. He
holds t life insurance is a specie
of gambling, with life and death as
stakes.
At one time he was wealthy; to-day
he has practically nothing. There are
many persons who owe him and who
will never pay, knowing he will not
bring suit for recovery.
Utility in Studies.
President Schurman's questioning
of the utility of teaching modern lan
guages in colleges is somewhat sur
prising. While it may be true, as he
claims, that not one in 500 outside of
teachers will use them, this is not a
valid reason for discontinuing them as
studies. Such a test could be made
to sweep the college curricula of near
ly every study now considered essen
tial. What would become of the high
er mathematics if this test were ap
plied? Who uses conic sections of
trigonometry in his business? What
business man has actual recourse to
what he learned of chemistry or min
eralogy? The utilitarian test can be
applied too rigidly to college studies
with the result of greatly narrowing
the college curriculum. The cultural
studies ought to have a chance.—Min
neapolis Journal.
Not the Worst.
"I must confess that 1 don't sleep
well while traveling by train," said
Mr. Chuggins. "1 had a terrible dream
last night."
"1 understand they had some trou
ble on the road."
"Yes. I dreamed my motor car ran
over an embankment, smashed thf? en

THRONE FOR AMERICAN GIRL
Servian King Said to Have Sent En
voy to United States to Find
Heiress.
Washington.—Count Pablow Mysky
Treskaya, the confidential agent of
King Peter of Servia, has been in thi3
country for several weeks on a mis
sion involving the probable marriage of
the Servian princes to American girls.
The count denied that Prince Georgo
and his brother, Prince Alexander, are
fortune hunters, although he admitted
that they would not let comfortable
fortunes stand in the way of matri
monial alliances.

queen of Servia would be just about
what King Peter would like.
Both sons of King Peter are pre
paring to travel early in the new
year, and the itinerary includes a two
months' stay in the United States,
unless the agent's report makes it in
advisable. One of them will succeed
to the throne.
It is reported that King Peter com
missioned Count Treskaya to come to
this country and report what oppor
tunity his two sons might have toward
making an alliance with American
girls.
Servia does not maintain a diplo
matic representative in Washington,
and this may have made the count's
business difficult to transact. He Is
well supplied with funds by the house
of Morgan, Harjes & Co., the Paris
branch of J. P. Morgan & Co.
A report that the Servian princes
want to marry American girls reached
Washington last spring. Czar Nich
olas, Emperor Francis Joseph and
King George of Greece tried to plan
an alliance for the sons of King Peter,
but none of these would consider an
aliance with any princes to whom
they were individually related.
T! ,ir is why the prince will seek to
marry merely money.

For Evening Wear
lipp 7

By Julia Bottor.iley.
T'lK new coiffures have proved the
inspiration of numerous new dec
orations fitted to the arrange
ment of tiie hair in smooth masses.
Large jeweled pins of shell have prov
en the most attractive for evening
wear. After their adoption comes the
problem of keepiag a hat on, or keep
ing it properly adjusted after it is on.
This has brought the evening hat hav
ing a bridle under the chin or hair
straight to the fore. For the bridle
is extremely becoming to youthful
faces, and useful in fastening the
large picturesque and beautiful hats
which are worn for evening.
Hoods of chiffon are preferred to
hats on all those occasions when the
head needs simply to be protected
when one is on the way. "These are
supported by a wire bonnet frame,
such as is used for making children's
bonnets. This is covered with chiffon
stretched on plain, and forms a foun
dation for the shirrings and ruffles
which are so lavishly and flufllly sup
ported by it. And altogether this sen
SUITED FOR THE AFTERNOON
Visiting Dress That Would Make Up
to Perfection in Satin and
Spotted Voile.
This is elegantly carried out in
satin and spotted voile. The tight
fitting princess part Is covered in
satin arranged in folds; at the back
a wide box-plait is formed, and taken
to foot; Ibis joins the deep band of
satin that is sewn to the voile; the
upper edge of which is gathered to
the iwincess. Piece lace forms the
yok<«, which has folds of satin taken
over the shoulders at the sides; these
are caught down by rosette; a strip
of insertion is carried across the
sible little affair for evening wear is
as light as an equal bulk of down, and
as soft and protecting as a caress.
The new devices for fastening on
hats help out immensely where a hat
must be worn. They have no other
name than hat-fasteners. Th<jy fas
ten the hat more securely than pins,
and are steel hair pins in reality,
fastened in the head size of the hat
by a patent pin. A barb or small dia
mond-shaped finish at the points pre
vents them from slipping out.. As
nothing in the world can so finish and
give character to a costume as an
elegant hat, this device for keeping
hats in place is a boon to the wearers
of picturesque millinery. Resides they
save "jabbing" the hat by the ordin
ary pin point repeatedly, which dis
figures and ultimately wears out the
fabric of which it is made.
There are innumerable pretty little
coiffure decorations, which are worn
with the new coiffure, but there are
a long story in themselves. They are
wonderful in helping out and adding
to the finish of the toilette.

Shawls Coming Back.
It is probable that the beautiful old
crepe shawls of thick white, gold or
rose silk which were shipped -from
Canton in the days of our great
grandmothers will soon be unpacked
from the paper wrappings in which
they have lain so long.
These finely embroidered squares,
with their handsome knotted fringes
sometimes half a yard long, are being
used in Paris for the new swathed
gowns and loose draperies.
The once necessary Paisley shawl,
or that of Indian make, beloved of
Queen Victoria and so often given by
her as a wedding girt, is not likely
to share the popularity of the silken
square. Its make is much too thick
and heavy and the coloring does not
lend itself to the present mode. The
pitfalls of artistic dressing are many,
and because one mods of a period is
useful it does not follow that others
are really acceptable.
Decollete Goy/n Finish.
One of the prettiest ideas in a finish
for the top of a decollete gown Is a
narrow band of fur sewed to the edge
of the bodice and outlining a full
tucker of tulle. The style will be gen
erally becoming and is appropriate foi
gowns developed from every kind of
fabric, from chiftun to chiffon cloth,
and may be adopted by either maid or
matron with equally good results.
A simple flat band of passementerie
is a dainty finish to the top of some
of the girlish looking frotiks in net,
messaline or marquisette.
Stock and Jabot.
A new stock and jabot combined
is made of soft silk and lace trimmed
net, with jots as a trimming. The
stock cornes in a variety of the new
colors. Jet nailheads trim the lattice
work of the front of the stock and jet
beads are used in decorating the silk
balls which dangle over the jabot.
A ROYAL SPENDER

ried a millionaire) —I really think
you'd be happier if you had married
a man who had less money.
Marjorie—He will have less after a
few years with me.
RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time I had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad
vise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the leaet
bit of trouble up to now.
"My daughter's hand 3 this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura' for other members
of my family and it always proved suc
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers

People Realize the Danger.
As an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a bulle
tin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent, of the ex
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, ap
propriations made for 1910 indicate
that over 75 per cent, of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the |8,180,021.50 spent for
the prevention and treatment of tu
berculosis, $4,302,750.03 was spent
from public money, and $3,817,871.47
from funds voluntarily contributed:
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over $9,000,000 has been appro
priated. Of this sum, the state legis
latures have granted $4,100,000, the
municipal and county bodies, $3,975,'-
500 and the federal government, sl,-
000,000.
Young America.
The H.'s lived in the country, kept
chickens and lived the simple life.
One of their daily diversions was to
sit on the front veranda and watch
the sunset and Roberta, aged four, sat
and watched with them, but it was a
rather tedious as well as solemn occa
sion for her and one day, after watch
ing in siliyice for quite a while, an
explanation of the whole thing sud
denly dawned upon her and with the
delighted enthusiasm of a discoverer
she exclaimed: "Oh, mamma, I know
r*»w why it takes the sun so long to
set. It has to hatch out so many little
■tars!" —Los Angeles Times.
Teamster's Punishment Earned.
Apparently it pays not to be cruel
to horses out in Chicago. A teamster
who admitted abandoning his horses
for six hours on a recent stormy day
was fined SSO by a magistrate. The
humane society prosecuted the case
vigorously and promised to report the
matter to the driver's employers. Pre
sumably he will lose his job, as ho
was unable to pay the fine and will
have to serve a jail term.
GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill
fully selected food that exactly fits
the requirements of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor Are, and a
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
"From not knowing how to select the
right food to fit my needs, I suffered
grievously for a long time from stom
ach troubles," writes a lady from a
little town in Missouri.
"It seemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
'hat I could eat would stay on my stom
ach. Every attempt gave me heart
burn and filled my stomach with gas.
I got thinner and thinner until I lit
erally became a living skeleton and in
time was compelled to keep to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I have kept up its use ever since.
I was surprised at the ease with which
I digested it. It proved to be just what
I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart-burn, the inflated feeling which
gave me such pain disappeared. My
weight gradually increased from 98
to 116 lbs., my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now
able to do my housework and enjoy it.
Grape-Nuts did it."
A ten days' trial will show anyone
Eome facts about food.

Interest,
THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Hm Proved a Great Success—Tho»
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvelous garden fruit originated by
Luther Hurbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Seedsman of Floral Park, N. Y., has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvelous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
■short season of North-western Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
D, S. JIaJl, Wichita, Kan., says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La., says
it yiefda $250 worth of fruit per
aerie with him. Mrs. J. H. Powers,
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4xlo feet
to supply herself and friends.
J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all. purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal., says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
W. T. Davis, Enon, Va., says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in thtee months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 lorries
which measured ijbout eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattics Vincent, Harden, New
Mexico, says it' stands the long, hard
droughts of that Climate' and fruits
abundantly- all summer.
It is certainly the' most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
•ver introduced.
Why His Mother Mourned.
Williahl M. Fogarty has a story
"about a good old Irish woman whose
son was about to start for a trip
around the world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man.
In her,,fond vision she could see all
sorts of terrible tidings coming to him
"but she held her peace until he had
started for the journey. Then she be
gan to cry. A neighbor tried to con
sole her, but to no avail.
"I'm afraid he hasn't the money to
get back," said the mother, weeping.
"He's got the money togo round the
world all right, but how will he ever
get back?"—lndianapolis Star.
The girl who says she wouldn't mar
ry the best man living will probably
live to have the satisfaction of know
ing she didn't.
