Fake Servian Solicitors Secure Funds at Chesterton.

The Republican It that time expressed the >|Mdlef thllt they were fakirs, as they ftifused to submit to auy sort of —interview; Recently two men, possibly the same ones, solicited funds tot Chesterton and a good lady Who; Bd them and .then gave them fSioney became suspicious of their iptions and wrote to The Chicago Sribune about Ahem.

Cafeteria Idea and Home

B tUro ever la a time when the three meals a day routine become 4rud#ary It la mid-summer. This la the time when the woman who doe* her own work la entitled to a vacation, but ahe rarely tots It, “so import-' eat la the mother apoke In the tome wheel If she can’t get away for a change, why not bring the vacation to her at home. Why not have a home cafeteria vacation ? a The cafeteria idea la both familial end popular to the dweler in the city. It meana climating setting the table end serving the meal and leaving the patron to wait on himself. There the cafeteria restaurant is such a suooeaa, the three leading ones so far •a the patron is concerned being quick service, a chance tci see your food before you order it, ind having to pay only for what you want If a man can wait upon bipmelf in a cafeteria, why not at home under Iflba arrangement? First Becure the fatcrart and cooperation of the family, then plan for it and give it a fair trial. It may be made as much fun as a picnic and the saving of work would be splendid. The getting of the meal on the table is often “the straw that breaks the camel’s back,”' so as to ■pvh. to a tired woma*. The getting of three meals a day would not be so hard if it, were not for getting it on the table lti proper Bhape and doing up the work afterward. The cafeteria home vacation may be made to solve toe problem if each member of the family will in addition to waiting on himself also ale to washing and replacing his own dishes. , When mealtime comes fancy the household filth* to the kitchen cupboard, each helping himself to eating utensils—'individual trays would be but not a necessity—then to the ■love, where the vessels of hot meat, vegetables, gravy, tea, coffee, etc,, are la readiness, and then to the dining table, where such accessories as cream, sugar, bread, butter, etc., are placed. The meal over, turps could be taken in dishwashing, all of which might mean any amount of home fun M well as a happy cafeteria vacation for the mother.

Revers Rovers on skirt? Well, why' not, if you can have them on waists? On Boats, of course, you accept them unooncernedly, and they must take on outrageous else and fancy shapes before you will Bhow any Interest In them. Those on the new waists and skirts are not outrageous —which Is a poor way of commenting on them, because they do have the positive value of smartness. The favorite idea seems to be to face the revers with black and white stripes. You see this done A great deal in the tailored frocks of colored linen for summer. They are made on simple lines, and the revers stand out ss the Important decoration of the dress. For those who have not seen them, a description Is simple enough: The skirt may be six-gored, with a broad panel down the back. At the bottom one corner of the loose panel Is lifted and folded back to lam the revers.

VULGARITY BEST SUFFRAGE HELP

Woman's Suffrage Association convention here by Mary Winsor of Philadelphia. “Whatever you do, * fehe advlsmp earnestly, “don’t be tiresome. Better be vulgar." . - When the delegates laughed she reiterated the advice, safrafl “Yes, Indeed, this Is a vulgar age. Be loud, be yellow, be anything to be picturesque. Better go to extremes than to bore people. It is a fool question to ask women, ‘Do yOu want to voteT’ When I want a tyoman to vote I aSk her, ‘Don’t you wish w| could decide whether we Could have that $50,000. playground‘ rather than the men?" r ! y | The consensus of opinion expressed by the speakers was that the suffragists must “get the uninterested women interested in suffrage by, indirect means.” “A woman listens first with her heart, then with her head,” said Charity Dye of Indianapolis. Mrs. Grace Gallatin Seton, wife of Ernest Thompson rfeton of Connecticut, who followed Miss Winsor on the platform, was more moderate in suggesting ways and means, while Mrs. Stotah W. Fitzgerald of Boston put hatoelf Into the militant class when she cautioned the delegates they must not be “too conscious of personal dignity” If they would succeed. Dropping suffrage literature from balloons worked well in Massachusetts, she said, and the pamphlets-un-doubtedly attracted more attention “than if they had come less directly from above. ” . “Just as soon as you have a good excuse,” she urged, “get into a political campaign." Then she told how they had made this excuse by prevailing on the Democratic convention to mention “votes for women” In Its platform. “Interest the indifferent women in some reform first of all if you want to get them to vote,” said Kate M. Gordon of New Orleans. “I believe when we can get the white slave problem and the child labor problem before the women we can get thousands of them Interested In suffrage. An appeal through such questions Is better than a quite appeal for suffrage." . *

NEAR DEATH PLAYING DENTIST.

Man With Pincers as Forceps Has Narrow Esoape. Pottstown, Pa.—Almost frantic with pain from an aching tooth while working at the Pottstown Brewery one morning, Sanford Shomo, an engineer, determined to play dentist himself, and yanked the molar out with a pair of pincers. But In doing It he severed an artery and was In danger of bleeding to death when he was rushed to a dentist's office. Two dentlßts were routed out of bed and they, with the aid of a physician, managed to stop the flow of blood and save his life.

In Absence of Lantern a Life-Saver Is Buocessful. Scranton, Pa. —Discovering a landslide on the main line of the Lackawanna Railroad, in the outskirts of this city, Conductor Michael Glnley, who was on his way to work, realised that the fast freight was due. Being without a lantern, he ran up the track, and, waiting for the approach of the train, lighted matches, and, holding them aloft, signaled the train to stop. The engineer saw the flicker and put on the air-brakes, bringing the train to a stop Just as It shoved its nose into the dirt pile.

Self Opinioned Barnaby

‘ - . s* vl-3 iM WWJll?> flil'. y j''.rv* ft ft : BARNABY NEVER READ Shakespeare. He never read much of anything appertaining to the various branches of what he called “sport," or 'trophe to Man, it is long odds that he would have taken it as a direct personal tribute to himself. Bamaby Is tmlky, and distinctly approves of bulky men, and looka scornfully down from his elevation of likes to see a fine, fresh color add decent upholstery of the osseous fraigework, just as the pasty-faced qaid lettn exfcitb his disgust; he hai.Sti tumbling bull-bass voice that he" Is mighty proud of and he has money, has surrounded him with paraites from,, an early age. a rooor wish h!S hands In his t rousera pockets.

Not worth' his while, at leastIf There Is anything that be doesn’t know It is, briefly, but emphatically, “rot,” and he will dismiss the sublect with this hllghting qnallflcatlon. from which there is no appeal and against which all argument is futile and piffling: “Rot! That’s all It is: Rot!” Can you pull the wool over Barnaby’s eyes? Well, I trow not. Wisdom of the Wiseheimer variety has been vouchsafed Barnaby in overflowing measure. That Is something beyond all doubt and dispute. And what Barnaby knows, he knows. There Is a respectable wad of yellow-backed bills in Barnaby’s breeches pocket that sustains his position in language loud, eloquent and convincing. Can you cover It? No? Well, put up or shut up, one of the two. You would better shut up anyway. Listen. Listen respectfully and admiringly while Barnaby instructs you concerning the law and the prophets, or rather the proplieL, for he Is Barnaby, and the law is the breath of Barnaby’s thick-lipped mouth in the ear of the pliant legislator, and the wink of Bamaby’s plg-llke eye. In the two towns that are Barnaby’s, the towns where his tolling and spinning Is done for him, you may see how thoroughly this divine ordination is recognized. There, like the centurion of old, he says to one, “Go!” and he goeth, and to another “Come” and he coineth —“hat in hand and In all humility, and sometimes they come, being permitted, and complain, still humbly, of this and that. But barnaby checks them. “Rot!” he says. “You will do thus and so.” And of course they do It. Gan you suppose anybody having the Ineffable gall necessary to flout, deprecate and disparage such a being as Bamaby to his florid face? It was at the club and the presumptuous person was a dreamy-eyed-lunatic ; by name, Treweck, and by lack of occupation, poet. He was Just returned from the West and was talking the Gleason canal and dam, which work he had viewed from an adjacent mountain peak. “It Is a wonderful thing, no doubt,” he said. “I suppose it’s the biggest and costliest plectt of engineering up to date, bar the Panama Canal, but for all the millions of money and years of time, the 1 incessant labor of armies of men, what a tiny scratch and blot It la upon that stupendous landscape! How little we amount to In the face of nature after all!”

“Rot!” observed Barnaby, who Jbad Just loomed up. Treweck looked at him mildly. “Do you think so, really?” he asked. “When you look at something very big and very old in nature, aren’t you sometimes overwhelmed with a sense of your own Insignificance?” Bamaby got a little pinker. “What d’you mean?” he growled. “Of course, when you’re hustling around In your own little ant hills and rubbing shoulders with your fellow ants, you hardly realize It,” pursued Treweck, “but In silence and solitude, Isn’t it different?” “Rot!” said Bamaby, becoming pinker still. “At night,” urged Treweck, don't you ever look up at the stars—a million of millions of suns with their planets glimmering through incalculable distances, in space Illimitable. Can you contemplate the wonder and marvel of that glolden universe, that vast and awe-inspiring creation without feeling your utter unimportance, your lees than Insect value? Isn’t it borne upon you what a crawling, Infinitesimal atom you are, what a grain, what a mote, what a helpless” Barnaby’s pudgy palm, with the force of his brawny arm behind It, swung around and landed In Treweefle’s cheek in a resounding buffet "You Insulting vagabond!” roared Bamaby, struggling against those who held him, to repeat, the blow. "Let me get at him; I'll show him the kind of a crawling atom I am.” We drftggod him away and pacified him with high balls. And really Treweok ought to have known better. I suppose he didn’t think about it being Bamaby.

Comes from your old town, too. He’s just a young fellow, I believe. He and his widowed mother live out on Falmouth street” Every Vestige of color had gone from Harding’s face and his eyes were glaring. “You’re very certain the name is Sanderson —David Sanderson?” “Sure thing. Do you know him?” Harding made a tremendous effort to control himself, but his voice shook pitifully. “I used to know the mother years ago—when she was Helen Chaloner.” “Then you must try to get her help.” Helen Chaloner! Yes, he had known her —known her and loved her before ambition had possessed his soul and frozen his heart They had been betrothed when he left the llttle town where both were horn to make a place in the world for himself and for her. Gradually hertiad let love die; had failed to answer her pitiful letters; had driven the memory of her from his brain with the thought that she would be a hindrance to him in his career. An hour later he stood in the living room of Helen Sanderson’s home. And for the first time he realized how lonely he had been through all the years without her. Ah, how happy they had been the far-off long ago! And then the parting! With startling distinctness he remembered how she had stood under the old apple trie with him, her white gown showing faintly, and her sweet, tender eyes gleaming In the moonlight. Even the perfume of the roses she had worn at her breast came back to him across the years as he recalled his eager promises, his tender good-bys. God! If he could only turn those years 'back! He heard a. light step enter the room and he turned quickly. She stood before him —not as he remembered her, for the bloom of youth had faded from her cheeks, and the girlishness had gone from her figure—but her eyes were as tender as of old and her smile had lost none of Its sweetness. “John,” she said softly, as she came toward him with outstretched hand. The faint color died In her cheeks and her breath came haltingly. “£he years have changed you!’’ He took her hand in both of his and looked- down at her with grave, tender eyes. “Helen, my stupe, sweet wildflower!” f- , , A rush of color dyed her cheek, and the look of scorn upon her face stung him to the quick. “Don't—you must not!” she breathed. “Oh, do you think that I do not know why you have come here? Your flattering words are to win my Influence with my son; that you may realize your life’s ambitions. Oh, how low you have fallen In my estimation!” The man’s eyes darkened with pain. “No, no, Helen. It is true that I came here for what you say, but my coming has brought me to my senses; has made me realize what & failure my life has been. I know now that I’ve wanted you always, Helen —suffered and longed for you every day. Bristow may have the presidency and welcome If you irill forgive me and redeem your old promise to become my wife.” There was a wonderful light in the woman’s eyes, and her voice was low and tremulous. “You are sure, very sure?” “Yes,” he answered. Then she came {o wardß w lto outstretched hands. The hours passed unheeded ~by them both. Harding was a boy again —he bad entirely forgotten the prealdency and his defeat. He waß by the side of the woman he loved and all else was forgotten. The sudden slamming of the frofit door startled them, and a moment later a young man entered the room. “Mother," he said, excitedly, “your life’s ambition la realized. Harding la the next president of the First Bank, and it was my vote that won It for him.)’ John Harding leaped to his feet with a cry. “This la President Harding. David," the woman said Boftly. When they stere again alone Harding drew bar Into the shelter of his arms and stroked her soft, brown hair with tender fingers. “God grant,” he said fervently, “that 1 shall be worthy of *o great a love as yours.”— GERTRUDE HARVEY.

Gradually the new stores won the patronage of the old one; new customers failed to appear and take the place of deserters, and the firm that had tried to get along without advertising, has finally relinquished its business, which demonstrates again that advertising is not a luxury, but a necessity.
