Effigp- Henry C. Payne's record now stands clearly before President Roosevelt: "First—A corruptionist, an exponent of the commercial politics of craft and chicane in his own state and in the Republican national machine. "Second —A lobbyist at Washington and at the capital of Wisconsin and in his own city—a lobbyist for the tele phone monopoly, for the northwestern railways, for the Armour Meat Trust, for the Milwaukee street railways. And a lobbyist working frankly and with out the usual disguise of the legal pro fession, 'to keep up appearances.' " Such is the man whom President Roosevelt has invited into his cabinet, invited to the postmaster-generalship of all places, the post where the exer cise of the talents by which he has become notorious will be most scandal ous, most detrimental to the public in terest—and most useful in building up a second-term machine. If, in face of the Payne disclosures, Payne does not find that his health forbids him to accept, Mr. Roosevelt will have struck a blow at himself from which he will not easily recover. By adopting the kind of politics he pro fesses to abhor and disdain Mr. Roose velt will have served notice upon the people that he fundamentally has con fidence only in chicane, and not in character and its effect upon the peo ple. And if Mr. Roosevelt shows the people that he does not trust them, how can he expect them to continue U> trust him? —New York World. Roosevelt seems to think he can atone for his brutal criticism of Gen eral Miles and its implied hostility to Schley by calling Schley to his room Rnd giving him some taffy in private. His attack on Miles was made as pub lic as possible, and his animus against Schley was also shown publicly. Now. if he knows any good reason for up holding Schley, let him come out like a man and tell the public what it is. If Schley will quietly submit to all the lies that have been told on him, and now turn in to help save the naval ring from, the public indignation which it so well deserves, simply because Roosevelt would like to have it that way, he will disappoint his best friends and please his worst enemies. Men whose good opinions are worth hav ing do not like a toady, and Schley can well afford to stand like a man for his rights, even before President Roose velt. t t • The Iron Age, a paper that cannot be accused of being Democratic, as serts that some of the protected manu facturers are selling goods in the Ha waiian Islands so much cheaper than at home that some of the articles sold at the export prices have been sent back to the United States and sold again after paying the duty and freight at less than the manufacturers charge their fellow-countrymen. This but confirms the many similar stories of like transactions. Protecting infant industries like the Steel Trust with its billion and a quarter capital, is so out rageous that no sensible man can think of it without a feeling of disgust and pity for the poor dupes who are will ing to pay this trust millions every year under the name of protection. If the great body of American people who have been used for generations and are still being used as the stupid tools of the protected few, would come to their senses for a single month the protection humbug would be wiped out forever, root and branch.

Women have uiany things yet to learn, but one lesson which should be Indelibly Impressed upon the feminine , mind is that not years, but lack of 1 mental freshness makes a woman old. The highly prized girlish years, from i eighteen to twenty-five,are really years of babyhood. The most beautiful women In the world, able to attract and to hold the greatest men, have almost Invariably been women past thirty. Very often j they have been past forty. A woman lacking full mental devel opment is like a green peach. She may be very pretty to look at. but that is all. Of course, if she is to spoil be- j fore maturity, better take her as you j would take the peach, when it is a lit- j tie green rather than after it has spoiled. And that fact—that women of matu- j rity attract men worth while—is very | unimportant compared with this other fact—the mature woman is the best mother. Constantly, in studying the lives of j those who succeed, you find that it is j the tenth or even the fourteenth child ! that makes the family famous. Car- j lyle and Napoleon will do for exam ples in widely divergent fields. Each was so fortunate as to have , for mother a mature woman, ut her best when the child was born. Women make constantly the groat mistake of letting the years count. Don't let them count. Women are as different from one an other as are cabbages from rosebushes. If you are a rosebush, don't consent to be old at the age which ends a cab bage's career. You are beginning to realize your possibilities when the cab bage type of woman has ended her life's usefulness. And remember this—you need not be a cabbage woman unless you want to. Keep young, keep cheerful. Keep up your interest not merely in what your j husband or best young man has to say about himself, but in every question New York Journal. A Library Corny Corner. This sketch, if well worked out, will make a very suitable addition to any library, or, if one does not soar so high as that, it forms in any room quite a library iu itself. The usual methods of building a cozy corner are followed, but care should be taken that it is con structed strongly, to stand the weight of books. Above the seat as many shelves may be fixed as desired, al though we only show three in our do sign. To give more room for the stor- I ago of books two small open cupboards j fitted with shelves can be built outside j each of the two arms. The woodwork will look best if stained and polished. A SNUG NOOK, but as this is rather above the ama teur it would perhaps be better enam eled. At the extreme end of the shelves two other cupboards are con structed within the two upright arms. These should be fitted with glass and will give an opportunity for the dis play of rare china or other curios. J 1 hey might also be used for storing expensive or artistic books. Cooklnfx Dried Frulta. Success in cooking dried fruits de pends on little cooking and long soak- I ing. After washing the fruit, rubbing j it between the hands to soften any | dirt that may adhere, cover it with j cold water and let stand over night or j even a longer time. Add the sugar to i the water after draining out the fruit, j Boil and skim, put in the fruit and | simmer gently till tender. You will be surprised to see how much finer it will be in flavor and in appearance than that cooked rapidly and without the preliminary soaking. TooJitlnix Dread. Toasting, if properly done, converts a portion of the bread into predigested food. Dry starch is converted by beat j into dextrin, a form that all starchy : substances assume after the first proc- | ess of digestion; consequently, as in j eating toast the stomach is relieved of n part of its work, there are few things that make a more wholesome or nu tritious breakfast dish. For UreuMiiiff Tina. A fiat paint brush is a capital tiling j to use for greasing tins and pie dishes, j It is much better for getting into cor- j tiers than one's fingers or the piece of paper that many people use as a make- j shift The same brush can do duty for brushing egg over pastry and milk ! over newly baked cakes to glaze them. ClcnnllncMß. There can be no beauty where there is not perfect cleanliness.

I By MAUD ""'I HUMPHREYS I Hichaitlson. ] J "Is it as bad as that?" asked Mrs. Constance Wilson in dismay. "Every bit as bad," responded Patty, witli u brave attempt at cheerfulness. "When it is all over, I will have per haps sr>oo and the furniture." "Dear me," thought Mrs. Wilson, "and every one thought Mr. Norris was such a line business man." But she did not express the thought. She knew the girl's loyalty to her dead father. "Patty," she finally exclaimed in tri umph, "there are the Van Allen girls going abroad. Their father is a widow er. lie wants a companion for them. You know the continent like a guide book, and you'd be useful. They're uew to this sort of tiling, you know." Patricia Norris drew herself up very straight. "Connie, don't suggest impossible things. I positively refuse to take a po sition that savors of charity. I'm going straight into the business world and work—really work." Mrs. Wilson affected a cheerful ac quiescence which she did not feel. "I'm going home now, my dear, and think tills over. You'll hear from me tomorrow. And of course you'll suc ceed, whatever you undertake." Mrs. Wilson had been Patty's gov erness in tlie days when such a thing as financial uncertainty seemed far re moved from the Norris mansion. Now she was manuscript render for a big publishing concern. When she reached her dimly lighted bedroom, third story, back, in a noisy boarding house, she drew fortli a small bankbook and stud ied it carefully. As a result of long re flection she dispatched the following note to Patty: My Dear Girl—Before we do anything else we mast find a home. I am sick unto death of boarding. Shall we have a litt lo flat together, a cunning apartment, with what you want of your dear old tilings as furnishings? Then we'll And you the posi tion. But first a home—for your sake and mine. Save me from the fate of a hall bedroom, my dear. It Is the chance I have dreamed of for years. Three weeks later Mrs. Wilson caught Patty frowning at her across a dinner table that was homelike and dainty. "Connie, there's absolutely nothing left for me to do. The tins are hung straight in tlio kitchen, and I've tried the bt'ic.v-bracy in every conceivable po sition. I'm not to l>e put off any lon ger. I want a job." There was mirth in the tone, but it rang false. "Job" from the lips of Pa tricia Norris! Nevertheless that same evening they faced the situation to gether. Mrs. Wilson had seen this com ing and was prepared. "There is absolutely nothing open in our otiices, as 1 had hoped, Patty, and the only schools where I would have influence are supplied with teachers that never marry or die." She survey ed the girl through a veil of unshed tears. "You've a regular Gibson tigure, dear, and such lovely fluffy hair"— She broke off disconnectedly. Patty laugh ed. "Connie, do stick to the text. Shall 1 go forth as an artist's model?" Mrs. Wilson clasped her hands tight- "Not exactly that, but I heard of something today, Patty, that you could do—so well." "Nome it," responded Patty, but with an odd sinking sensation in her heart. "At Sehermerhorn's they want—n—a model to show oil' their Imported suits, and you're the very— Ob, Patty, don't look at me like that—l've tried so hard to get something better!" In a second the girl's soft arms were round her neck. "Connie, behave yourself! Of course I shall take it and he properly grate ful. How much ?" "Only $12.50 a week, but you wouldn't have got that much, only that 1 told the head of the department what a—a beauty you were." "Flatterer!" answered Patty, with a laugh that sounded more like a sob. So did Patricia Morris make her entry into the business world. It was not hard work, and she never wearied of handling the beautiful wraps and frocks. Iler statuesque beauty set them off to perfection, and the head of the department approved of her be cause she "never got gay" nor wasted the time of other employees by chat ting with them, as her predecessor had done. In fact, she held herself aloof from the other girls in the shop. It was an odd. unreasoning pride that they could not understand. If the girls who thought her proud had known how she envied them, they might have felt differently. They worked with their hands, and she—just posed. It was not brain that earned her salary, but a mere bauble of physical perfection. And she resented most of all the quiet, searching glances of a young fel low who seemed to be in the cashier's department. Once when she went to draw her salary he stood near the win dow and handed forth the envelope without even asking her name. She flushed slightly, and after that his com pelling glance called forth a stilT little bow when they came face to face. One noon when she was threading her way through a stream of cable cars and drays she was almost run down, and the gray eyed young man from the cashier's department reached her before the policeman. Two nights later when she and Mrs. Wilson indulg ed in the extravagance of tickets for a fashionable playhouse, they emerged upon a sudden rainstorm. "Oh!" wailed Mrs. Wilson, "my new bonnet!" Just then some one arrayed in a long coat and balancing a comforting um brella reached their side. It was the young man from Seherinerhom's. 'Tome back into the lobby, Miss No# ris, while I call a hansom for you." "A hansom, Patty! lie said a han som!" exclaimed Mrs. Wilson, almost tearfully. "What will it cost!" "I don't know," snapped Patty nerv ously, "not us much as a new bonnet." A few moments later he escorted them to the waiting hansom, raised his hat gravely, looked just once into Pat ty's brown eyes and away they whirl ed in the blackness of the night. At their apartment Mrs. Wilson, cov ering her beloved confection of chiffon and roses with a handkerchief, rushed into the hall, leaving Patty to settle the bill. The latter was strangely silent un til they were brushing their liair, when she suddenly burst forth in wrath: "It is bad enough. Connie, to rail iu public over a ruined hat, but to bewail the price of a hansom is unforgiva ble." "Why—why"— gasped Mrs. Wilson. "lie paid the hackman, that's till,* groaned Patty, and she threw berselt face downward in her pillows, murmur ing, "He needn't think that just be cause he saved my life he can paf my hack fare." And yet inconsistently she took a strange pleasure in recalling the look in his dark gray eyes when he leaned forward. A month later Mrs. Wilson came borne radiant. "There's an opening, Patty, dear, in our office, and you must take it quick. There are dozens of applications, but 1 have tlie promise!" And tlie next day Patty handed in her resignation to Schermerhorn & Co., to take effect on Saturday. With the last day came word that Mr. Frnwley would like to see Miss Norris before she left. For once she relaxed the rule and asked one of the girls who Mr. Frnwley was. "Oh, he's tlie company," responded the girl carelessly. After drawing lier last pay envelope Patty crossed to the main office and was ushered into a smaller room. The übiquitous young man of the gray eyes rose to receive lier. "Mr. Frawley has sent for me," she began with just the suggestion of a flush in her cheeks. "I am Mr. Frawley," replied he. and the gray eyes danced at her confusion. "I wanted to tell you, Miss Norris. that while we regret to lose your valuable services we are plnil to know you are securing a position bettor suited—to— er—your tastes and abilities. I trust you will not forgot—us?" The gray eyes were looking: most pleadingly into hers. The flush crept closer and closer to the soft brown hair. "I am afraid I've been very rude sometimes. Mr. Frawley," she mur mured In a low voice. "But you know it was all so new to me, and I felt—oh. I can't tell you just how I did feel!" "I think I understand. Miss Norris. I—l hope 1 shall see you again. May I" "We live at the Jerome apartments, Mrs. Wilson and I—and we are al ways home Tuesday evenings." The gray eyes thanked her eloquent ly, and she walked rapidly from the office. That night at the dinner table Mrs. Wilson rambled on happily: "I really don't think it has hurt you, dear. You had to gain business experience some how—and"— "No," replied Patty absently. "It has done no harm," but she was thinking not of the experience, but of the glad light in the gray eyes when she had told him he might call. DlniiiK CQHtvmN. A student of social customs bag call ed attention recently to the fact tbat man oats today practically the same viands he did In ancient times. How ever far back we push our researches, the foundations of nil dishes are the same—the same birds, tlie same moats, the same lisli-though perhaps the list of the ancients' lisli is somewhat more extensive. Modern man has forgotten the flavor of Hie porpoise or dogfish, and in tlie north, at all events, has learned to shudder at the suggestion of a dish of octopus. The meats, the courses, the principals and in some eases even the names remain the same. In spite of Alexandre Dumas' asser tion that napkins were first used in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they must have been of much more ancient origin, since the Roman cuisine necessitated their use much earlier. Giles ltose, master cook to Charles 11., gave methods for folding them in a va riety of ways, but the general adop tion of forks among the middle classes did away with the serviette to a great extent. At dessert, when the cloth was removed, a bowl of water was presented to each guest, and this stood on u plate covered with a square cloth, our present doily.—Chicago News. An Artist'. Wife. I worked hard, though there was lit tle to show for it, as my wife told mo when she turned over my many sketch es. "What, three shiny poles and a lot of green water!" she exclaimed. "Was that all you did In a day? Why didn't you paint a whole view?" 1 do not like her to criticise my studies. She handles them unlovingly, looks at them upside down and says, "If you would only enlarge that and make a picture of it and put in some figures, I might have the pink dress after all." Three palaces, several gondolas and a flock pigeons mean the pink dress, and six palaces, more gondolas and more pigeons mean Paris.—Von Degen. Not Much Skill.
