808 BURDETTE. AUTfIQR.
DIES AT PASADENA. CAL.
Native of Pennsylvania Who Made the
World Laugh as the "Burlington'
Hawkeye Man." Succumbs in His
Seventy-first Year
Pasadena, Cat, Nov. 20. —Dr. Rob-i
ert .1. Burdette, preacher, author audi
humorist, died at his home here at 2 '
'o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the j
seventy-first year- of his age. He had
[been ill for the greater part of two]
years, and for the last week had been
in a state of coma.
|' Kobeft .loues BiirJette. humorist, lec
I turer, newspaper man and minister of;
tue Gospel, was born in Greensboro,
fa., duly 30, 1844. He was the sou of
Frederick E. aud Sophia E. J. B-irdette. ■
His parents removed to Peoria. 111...
when he was a boy, arid he was educat
ed in tlie public schools of that city.
In later life be received a number of i
honorary degrees, among tliem beiug!
D. D., from Kalamazoo College, and j
LL. I)., from Occidental College, Cali-|
fornia. lu 1562. when he was 18 years 1
■ oM. he enlisted in the 47th Illinois In
fantry and served until the end of the I
war.
He began his lecture tours iu IST6.)
aud since that time lectured all over i
the United States. His tours ceased
when he accepted the pastorate of i
Temple Baptist church, in bos Angeles. 1
iin 1903. He was ordained a Baptist >1
minister iu 1903, and in 1909 became
pastor emeritus of the same church.
Robert .1. Burdette began cultivating!
goo i humor obscurely in Peoria. 111.,'
forty years ago. when he spent part of j
' his days at a desk on the Peoria!
| "Transcript," "trying to think." as
i he himself once related, "of pleasant]
things to tell the folks when 1 went!
home at night." His audience of'
j "folks" then was Carrie Garrett, the!
Peoria girl he had married a short time!
before, while she lay supposedly ou her i
death-bed, but who lived and. though j
an invalid for life, became immortalize!
by her husband as "Her Little Serene I
Happiness." It was she who encouraged!
'him to sow his humor iu wider fields.
At her bedside Burdette became pro
lific with fun-making contributions to
the Burlington, la., Hawkeve, audi
through these he became famous the
country over as "The Burlington
; llawkeye Man."
; Although Burdette's original home
was in Greensboro, Pa„ where he was'
j born in 1544, the later part of his lite
was spent in California. At Sunnyrest,
Pasadena, lie had a spacious house. His
first wife lia I died after lo years of]
encouragement to him. In 1899 lie mar
ried Mrs. Clara B. Baker, of Pasadena, j
j A fugitive instance of Burdette's rol l
lickiug humor was a letter home to his j
floek in Los Angeles during his first |
! trip to Europe. He dated the letter
] from "some distance out in the damp,"
and said, in part:
"The scenery along this route, a! I
' though somewhat monotonous, is splen- j
' didlv irrigated. But it seems too early!
j for the growing crops. Nothing has'
| come up yet. except ou shipboard, and
that has gou e overboard. The route is
not nearly so populous as the Saute Fe
trail over the desert. We have just two
! kinds of days—the days we see a ship!
j and the days we don't."
The veteran humorist found fuu iu i
! everything. While lie was forced to 1
abandon it 111 the pulpit largely because
of the reputation he had made for fun- i
making, he agreed with Henry Ward
Beecher that a .ioke in the puipit was
not at all out of place. It was, as
Beecher said, "When you are fighting
the devil, snoot him with anything."
Burdette died with the conviction
that there was not only just as much
fun in the world to-day as ever, but
"a great deal more, because," as he
said, "there are more people in it, and
people are the funniest things on this
side of the srave."

a semi-circle. Their attack which was I

mobiles, was repulsed.

New York, Xov. 20. —A case against j
; the Dock Contracting Company, which I

mission to-day,, was expected for the j
basis for taking the State alien la>bor '
j law to the courts to test its constitu-1
j tionalitv. The commission will take up
| a pending complaint that this corpora

tract between September 1 and Oc-|

charged all aliens aud have since been:
I unable to flud citizens to take their j
j places.
Kepresentatives of the general von- i
tractors' association aud of the Public'
: Service Commission have been unable I
| to agree to a statement of facts to'
| test, the constitutionality of the law. 1
I Both sides are unwilling to have work
i on the new rapid transit line stopped,
but neither is quite sure that it will be
j safe to proceed with the employment
| of alien labor, which is prohibited bv
I the law.
Counsel for the Bricklayers' atul

complaints of the law °s violation, an

A force of 18,000 alien laborers is
employed by the several subway con
tractors. many of whom have already
been discharged pending a test of the

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
Preliminaries to Washing Day
Since the beginning of housekeeping
or as far bask as we can remember Mon
day has always been considered the
proper day for washing. "Because,"
our grandmother's grandma said, "be
forehanded with the work."
grandma, she neede four handedness if
anyone did. but the task of washing
for the family, though still hard, is
easier than it once was. Another rea
son that Monday used to be the best
uav for washing was that Sunday was
truly a restful «l»y< but this is changed
too, for now Father and the Boys are
home on Sunday and it is mother who
waits on them and looks after them.
So Monday finds the house in disorder
and many duties needing attention be
side the washing.
However the most important argu
ment against washing on Monday is
that clothes should be sorted out and
mended before they are washed.' This
is uo proper duty for Sabbath evening.
On Monday, though, after the house is
made fresh for another week, the
clothes can be assorted and put to soak
and the soap, and tubs ami lines, the
wringer and washing machine made
ready.
It is a bother to separate the clothes
but after it i 9 done the work of wash
ing goes more easily. The woolens must
not be soaked us they shrink, become
matted and lose their softness unless
washed quickly in warm water; so put
all flannels and woolens in a separate
pile. Neither should stockings be
soaked. Calicoes, ginghams, printed
muslins and sateens will run and loose
their brightness if soaked and the same
applies to colored table linen.
All that will remain, now, will be
the white things. Put the collars, cuffs,
DYING DOG DELIVERS NOTE
Poisoned Spaniel Lives Just Long
Enough to Reach Mistress
Greeley, Col., Nov. 20. —Dragging
himself into the house with a note for
his mistress, Mrs. John P. Redman,
Col., P.unli, a thoroughbred spaniel,
looked pitifully up into her face, sank
into a heap on the floor and died from
poison that ihad 'been fed him in some
mysterious manner.
The note was from Redman, who is
clerk of the County Court, and the mes
sage related to home affairs.
Col. Bunch was taught to carry notes
in his collar w*hen he was a puppy, and
all t'hat was necessary for either his
master or mistress to do to get a note
delivered was to slip it under his collar
and tell him to go.
TO DESIGN EXPOSITION MEDAL
Washington. Nov. 20.—Robert Ait
ken, of California, has been uhosen as
the sculptor to design a commemora
tive medal for the Panama-Pacific Ex
position, according to announcement
made Tiere by A. C. Miller, chairman
of the government exhibit board for
the exposition.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Aitken con
ferred with the President regarding
tile design for the medal. It probably
will be the size of the silver dollar and
be struck off in silver, bronze and
probably copper. The work will be done
on the coining presses at the exposition
as part of the government's exhibit.

Adv.
Invents Street Announcer
Princeton, Ind., Nov. 20.—John
Pool, of Mt. Carmel,, has taken out
a patent tfhat is expected to come into
general use ami prove a great conveni
ence to street car patrons. It should
put a stop to passengers being carried
past their streets by cars. The device
includes a series of cards with names
sheets and body linen to soak in warm
water containing soap chips or SOH|>
powder an. ammonia. The kitchen
towels, aprons, dust cloths and similar
things should soap in a separate tub
and these should be well boiled as the
boiling process is a disinfectant and
these articles are in need of thifc treat
ment. Handkerchiefs should be put in
I a small tub and well soaked and then
boiled separately.
The muslins, laces and fine things
may soak the longest as they should
never be rubbed hard.
As the woolen goods are most costly
and most easily damaged by laundering
they should be washed first and rinsed
in water of the same temperature they
were washed in. A little borax added
to the rinsing water will keep them
soft. Do not rub soap directly on the
j woolens but have warm suds and do
not put them through the wringer but
press with the hands and hang them
up dripping wet.
Some of the best housekeepers now
assort the clothes and mend those that,
I need it and then wash the flannels ai d
the hosiery. The rest are put to son;
Jon Monday night and the washing on
! Tuesday is soon over with.
I Now just a precaution about wash
ling without boiling. V'e all know that
clothes can be made white and sweet
| with many of the soaps and soap pow
ders on the market and that boiling is
! not a necessity. But the boiling process
| makes contagion from germs and bac
teria absolutely impossible and steril
izes the clothes so they are truly sweet
jand clean. Soap alone cannot do this.
| When you boil clothes put them iuto
warm or cold water and let them come
|to the boiling point, putting them into
|boiling water fixes the soil in them.

dutor presses a buttou and the name
of the street where the next stop is .to
be made appears. At the end of the
route the cards are in reversed form
and work all right for the return trip.
