WEATHER FORECAST

Partly cloudy and thunder showers tonight and Thursday. What do you owe the public? Some men seem to be fitted only for seconding the motion. Most married women are wise enough to regard a clove as a clew instead of a disguise. Things might be worse: Supposing you were engaged in the business of selling electric fans this summer. However, the gentleman who lives in a glass house and throws stones sometimes hits you where you need it. On a fishing trip a man doesn't care if there are caterpillars in the salad, but at home he would raise the roof about it. Some ingenuious tailor may some day design a hunting coat that fits; o the theory that the unexpected happens. Sometimes a man who marries has to admit his financial judgment wasn’t all he thought it was when the deal was consummated. There are various notions of a good time, but hard work was never so popular as to enable the bicycle to retain its popularity. Mrs. Amos Fisher spent the day with Mrs. Charles Nyffeler north of the city, assisting her in entertaining the German Reformed Ladies' Aid society. A feller kin be square with th' world an’ still owe ever’thing t' his wife. Th' manager who used t’ give you two passes now asks you how many your car holds. —Abe Martin.

They were accompanied home by an aunt Mrs. C. A. Rye. In the September Woman's U<>nje Companion appears an article telling boys how to make aeroplane kites which need only the wind for motive power. On the general subject of aeroplane kites the author of the article says: “A kite designed on the. lines df a successful aeroplane will 1 be found to be far more stable when aloft than the older and more familiar kite shapes. One of the great advantages of the aeroplane kite is that it will glide smoothly among baffling air currents which would beat an ordinary kite to the ground or wreck it completely. Such a kite will rise to a much greater altitude than any other form yet devised, and should the string break the kite will not be likely to dash downward, but would right itself and glide to earth safely.” The October Woman’s Home Companion devotes seventeen pages to fall and winter fashions. On the subject of fall fashions in millinery Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor, says in part: "Velvet, Fur, Feathers —these three proclaim the fashions in 1 millinery for fall and winter. There is scarcely a hat for the autumn that does not show the introduction of velvet, if it is not entirely made of that material; and as for the trimming it is bound to be of feathers, one kind or another, and often fur. too, is introduced. Large and small, high and low, are the new hats for the autumn. No one definite shape is a necessity, but rather to suit the individuality of the wearer is the mission of the hat this season.

The case of Harlo Maun vs. Jesse Singleton, which was filed in Mayor Christen’s court a week ago Monday, in which Mann charged Singleton with allowing a dead hog that had died as cholera to lay about the farm instead of burying was given a hearing this morning. C. L. Walters appeared for Singleton, wh.Ue prosecutor Fruchte represented the state. After a number of witnesses had been examined and each party stated fils case, Mayor Christen dismissed the case from the docket upon the ground that the evidence produced was not sufficient for conviction. The case was more than likely brought as a crisis to a family quarrel between. Maun and Singleton. Singleton had Mann arrested some time ago. PIANO TUNING AND REPAIRING. D. A.

FAMED AS REFORMER WOMAN HAS CONE SPLENQID WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO, Twenty Years of Active Labor Crowned With Magnificent Result —Systematic Efforts Have Enabled Her to Do Wonders. In San Franciaco's Chinatown Miss Donaldina Cameron is honored with twg unusual names. Amon the Chinese highbinders she is known as the 'Female White Devil,” among the girls of her rescue mission she is called the "Little Mother.” Miss Camsron has been doing rescue work among the Chinese of California for nearly twenty years, and during that time has rescued 1,500 girls ranging in age from little tots given away or sold as slaves by their parents or natural guardians to grown girls who had fallen into the clutches of high binders. She has gone at midnight into the farthest corners of the rookeries that were the Chinatown of old San Francisco. She has chopped down doors, crawled on her hands and knees along secret passages, and in several instances rescued at the point of the pistol the miserable slave girl who had appealed to her. In her rescue work Miss Cameron does not go after the girls who are content to live such lives, but to those who appeal to her or who she learns wish to get away from it. She has taken more than one girl as they were passing along the streets and forced the Chinese "owner” to go to count. On several occasions she has been followed and threatened by mobs of Chinese and their friends. Os Scotch parentage. Miss Cameron was bom tn New Zealand. She came to America as a young girl and for twenty years has been employed by the board of foreign missions of the Presbyterian, church for rescue work among the Chinese of San Francisco. She is paid only $50 a month, and insists that she thinks it quite enough. Once she gets a girl she does not try to Americanize her or keep her away from reputable people of her own nationality. On the contrary, the girls study Chinese books along with English and are encouraged to hold to their own religion. Since Miss Cameron has learned that all Chinese girls wish to be married she does her best for them as a matchmaker. She sees that they meet reputable men who are able and willing to give them good homes and proper treatment. Nor does her interest cease with tbeir marriage. Her short vacations are usually spent visiting girls who have been under her care and who have married. She is entertained aa an honored guest and husbands are said to be careful to put their best foot forward. Hindenburg’s New Carpet. A translation issued by the German Information service concerns the presentation of a remarkable carpet to Field Marshal von Hindenburg. It reads; “The city of Konia, in Asia Minor, recently presented Field Marshal von Hindenburg with a magnificent carpet. o|n it is woven an exact map of East Prussia, the seat of the field marshal’s great victory. In the left corner of the carpet, surrounded by a laurel w.reath, is a portrait of Hindenburg, and below an inscription in German and Turkish containing the words: 'To his Excellency Gen. Field Marshal Pau) von Benckendorff und von Hindenburg. to express thanks for the great victorious battles at the, Masurian lakes, presented by the inhabitants of Konia, in Asia Minor.' ” Prayers for Horses. Marcus Horton, author of the recently published novel, "Bred of th? Desert”—the stj>ry of a horse and his owner—has approached in fiction what the Russians have done in fact. He recognizes the great service of the horse to man in peace and makes one of his characters repeat an imaginary tjayer of the horse to his master. The Russians have put into their war liturgy the following petition for horses: "And for those also, O Lord, the humble beasts, who, with us, bear the burden and heat of the day, and offer their guiltless Hves for the well-being of their countries, we supplicate thy great tenderness of heart For thou hast promised to save both man and beast, and great is thy loving kindness. Lord have mercy!” Ideal Diet for the Baby. Au Ideal diet for children of twelve or thirteen months was announced by the children’s bureau of the department of labor, which has been studying the problem of the "Baby's Second Summer.” The bureau recommends the following: Six o’clock a. m.. milk, eight to ten ounces; eight o’clock, orange juice, one to threp tablespoonfuls; ten o’clock, cereal one tablespoonful with milk or stale bread and zwelback with milk six to eight ounces; two o'clock, broth with Stale bread or beef juice, one ounce with bread crumbs; six o’clock, same as ten o’clock, and ten (ftilock at night, miik eight ounces. A Tourist. “If I dismiss the case against you this time, what guarantee will I have that you won't appear before me again in less than a month?” asked the judge.. “Dat’s a cinoh, yas- honor," said the prisoner. “If I. gits ou,t o’ dis I m »out' fer two moat's.” . ,
