vnarxu MKROBAjrr hd op a VERY BIO Q RAVEL sTOlE THE HONEST NEWSPAPER. Fl John F. Carter, editor of the Clm maron Courier, Boise City, Okla., hag this to say as to the obligation ot the newspaper to stand firmly for the public interests: All self-supporting, self-respecting, law-respecting and law-abiding peo ple look to the honest, vigilant news paper as the one agency which never lays down Us arms, which Is always on guard, always ready for the fray. They turn to It Instinctively when their rights are assailed. They know that It Is always interested. It can not always win, but while such a newspaper exists there can be no llnnl surrender to wrong. An honest newspaper disseminates information and keeps Its readers in touch with the development ot public questions. It nniBt do even more. It must create public sentiment, organize move ments, devise ways and means and conduct a campaign for ach good cause. It must be willing to Bland alone when once convinced that Its course is right. It must have convic tions on all public questions, and maintain them in the face of misrep resentation. It must prize character and consistency above popularity. JIM. Jim doesn't have to go to school An' learn to reid an' count an' spell; Instead, he plays most all the time Out on the street, an' well, I wish that I were Jim. He doesn't have to wash his face An' brush his hair an' shoes ,an try To be a little gentleman. An' be polite. Oh, my! Don't I wish I were Jim? Jim never has to hurry home Just when the boys all want to play; For no one cares, no, not a bit, How long he stays away. He's no one's boy Just Jim. He's very happy all day long. But sometimes do you s'pose he might rWlfh he were some one's little boy, J When daytime turns to night? I should, If I were Jim. For Jim hasn't any mother ' To love an' tuck him into bed, An' call him mother's laddie dear, After his prayers are said, The way mine does. Poor Jim! So. tonight, when mother's askln' me, Have I been very good all day, I'm goln' to hold her, oh, so tight. An' kiss her, too. an' say: I'm glad that I'm not Jim. Consumer Would Pay. If coal should go up in consequence of a strike it would not disturb the equanimity of the coal companies that expect to have 10.000,000 tons on hand by the end of this month. They feel about the matter, probably, very much as the holders of some million hags of coffee do about the proposed Imposition of a duty of 4 cents. The tax paid by consumers would go to them until the supplies on hand should be exhausted. Philadelphia Record. The Answer. The Lady What's your trade? The Hobo Lady, I'm a captain of Industry.

Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade will say: "Faith in the future Is more pro nounced than satisfaction with Imme- dlate conditions, and there Is no more noteworthy feature of the trade out look than the steadily growing confi dence that, with the tariff discussion out of the way and with the year's principal crops assured, the progress toward a full Industrial prosperity will be rapid. Therefore, the better prospect of a comparatively early final vote on the tariff and the im proving weather and crop conditions, coupled with the . knowledge that abundant money and big gold out put are favorablo to expansion, in spire courage. Tho fact that lower prices are stimulating a more active demand for iron and steel products also aids in this development. "Iron and steel conditions reflect a broader demand In some divisions, notably In pig Iron. Current busi ness Is of good volume, but competi tion Is keen and further price reduc tions are reported on certain grades. "A better market Is In evidence on coarse yarn goods, which have been quiet for some time, and the bag trade Is inquiring for considerable quantities of both heavy and print yarns. 'In the hide market pronounced strength has developed In all lines and active buying has been in pro gress throughout the week. While there have been no further sales of unusual size in the leather market, there Is a steady demand from small buyers, and the market on the whole shows an Improvement over last month. Prices are firm, owing to the rapidity advancing hide market." MARKETS. PITTSBURC. ( Wheat No. 9 red S Rye No. 2 Cora No 2 yellow, ear 88 No. yellov, shelled 7 ' Mixed ear 68 Oats No. 8 whlto.

When cooking tomatoes, the ad dition of sugar becomes necessary. As a (matter of fact, the chief nutritive value of the tomato lies in its sugar content, and In many processes of cooking this is dissolved or modified; wihkih would seem to Indicate the de sirability of adding sugar directly. Ripe tomatoes are nearly 5 per cent sugar, and it has been found practic ally oneihalf of td Is is lost in the pro cess of cooking. This is particular ly true of the red varieties. The yel low kinds ihave seemingly a greater sugar content; for it is certaJn that when cooked, they Ao not acquire that extra acid quality which characterizes the red ones. Far from having to add sugar to the cooked yellow fruit, there appeal to fee still an absence of acid ity. When serving sliced tomatoes, es pecially if you grow thicfcaWnned va rieties, it Is well to get rid of the Skin. Hub the 'blade of a silver knife all over the surface. This is a better way than the usual one of scalding them, wthloh, loosens the skin, but how ever quickly done, seems to impart a 'cooked' flavor.

For the little gath ered frill, or tucker, as our English friends call it, and the long sleeves any pretty thin material is appropri ate, net, lace, chiffon or anything, of the sort. For the girdle and the bands the same material or ono In contrast may be used as preferred. The waist is made over a fitted lin ing, and consists of the little gath ered frill, or tucker, the front and back portions and the bretelles. The wide girdle finishes the lower edge, while the skirt is designed to be ad justed over the lining and under the edge of the girdle. The long sleeves are shirred and arranged over fitted linings, and these linings should be of transparent material to give the best results.

At his entrance the whole congregation rises and remains standing until he Is seat ed, and when the services are finished it again stands until he has left the church, the conduct of those present being a willing and agreeable tribute to his office. The president, by the way, will have at least one member ot his cabinet with him at All Souls' Attorney Gen eral Wlckerhsam, whose wife, when she was a resident ot Washington, was one of the leading factors of the church and teacher In the Sunday school.

Washington Herald. The Greatest Grafter. " i People do not generally understand why It Is that no nation wants Castro on Its soil and why the whole civiliz ed world holds him In such derision. It is because he is the greatest graft er of the age. That is the secret of all his Infirmities and the starting point of all his quarrels. He gouged every enterprise that ever started up In Venezuela, whether It was native or foreign born. He began as presi dent of Venezuela a poor man, and by using the power that the office gave him, In five or six years, he raked In twelve million dollars. This graft was really the beginning of his quarrels with other nations. It was what dis turbed his friendly relations with this country; also with Holland, Germany and France. His ostracism is the opinion of civilization of the grafter. His selfishness destroyed him. What he has lost Is more than he stole. Ohio State Journal. POOD FACTS What an M. D. Learned. A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which he makes public: "It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebullder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion' and sick patients always gain Just as I did in strength and weight very rap idly. "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains ot this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I Mt home. "My food did not sustain me and It became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to rake these facts public." ' Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when the regular food does not seem to sus tain the body, will work miracles. "There's a Reason." Look In pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellvllle."
