WHAT IT IS TO BE FORTY.

To dlaoover a streak of grey hair in your beard. * And a thinness of crop where the upland Is cleared; To note how you take to your slippers and gown And hug to the fire when you get home from town; Ah, that's what It is to be forty. To find that your shadow has portlier grown; That your voice has a practical, business-like tone; That your vision is tricky, which once was so bright. And a hint of a wrinkle is coming to light; Ah, that's what it is to be forty. A sleigh ride, a party, a dance, or a dine — Why, of course, you’ll be present, you never decline; But, alas! there's no invite. You ore are not young folks, you see; You're no longer a peach, but a crabapple tree; Ah, that's what It is to be forty. A daughter that grows like a lilly, a queen, And that blooms like a rose In a garden of green; A dapper young clerk in an ice cream saloon, Both a dude and a dunce is to carry her otf soon; And a boy that Is ten and a pride of your eye Is caught smoking vile cigarettes on the sly; Ah. that’s what it is to be forty. At twenty a man dreams of power and of fame; At thirty his fire has a soberer time; At forty his dreams and his visions are o'er. And he knows and feels as he ne’er did before That a man is a fool till he's forty Chicago Record Herald.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: Theodore Roosevelt twenty-fifth President of the Uuited {States, was inaugurated shortly after noon Saturday, Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court, administering the oath of office. No sooner had the President completed the solemn yet simple ceremony of taking the oath than all Washington reverberated with the boom of the great 10 inch guns on the Monitor Puritan which lay anchored in the Potomac. Once, twice, thrice, the great guns boomed from the monitor when there sounded a medley of roars from up and down the river, the seige guns at Fort Myer, opposite Georgetown, and these at Forts Foote and Washington below Washington taking up the salvo; each fort firing tthe presidential salute of twenty-one guns. As the guns roared their stentorian greeting, the great crowd on the Capitol piazza sent up a mighty cheer. t t t As soon as the noisy demonstration ceased the President stepped forward to the front of the rostrum and, apparently addressing the classic statue of George Washington, delivered his inaugural address. For but ten minutes he spoke, rapidly but with clear enunciation. At the conclusion of his brief address the President decended from the platform and returned to “the President’s room” in the Capitol where he received the congratulations of Senators and Representatives, of diplomats and jurists and a host of personal friends. t t t It was almost two o’clock when the President accompanied by the picturesque enthusiastre Rough Riders who followed him in the famous charge up San Juan Hill, and by Troop A of the New York National Guard, drove rapidly up Pennsylvania Avenue, followed slowly by the greatest civic and military pageant that has thus far assembled in Washington to do honor to a newly inaugurated President. At the White House the President received the two hundred guests who had been invited to the buffet lunch. Mr. Roosevelt ate a hasty mouthful and then proceeded to the handsome stand erected in front of the Executive Mansion, from which during the next three hours, he reviewed the procession saluting the flag each time it passed before him. From time to time he turned to those about him commenting on the notable features of the parade, exchanging jokes with cabinet members and friends and in every possible manner displaying that almost boyish exuberence which is one of his characteristics. t t t When the last of the procession had passed the stand the President returned to the front portico of the White House and there received informally the members of the Rough Riders troop which had served as his escort in the day, as well as a number of “the boys” who had known him in his ranching days. Among those at the luncheon and at this informal reception was big “Bill” Sewall, the Maine gnide who has been the President’s companion on so many hunting trips, together with Bill’s wife and eons and daughters and innnmernble grandchildren, for “Bill” is no demonstrator of

raoe suicide. Another notable figure at the White House luncheon was Seth Bnllock, the Wyoming guide whose laoonic warning, “Mr. President, I smell Injuns,” was the first intimation the the President received of the incipient rebellion against his nomination whioh occurred in the National Committee, a little over a year ago. Another notable character who greeted the President on Inauguration day, being the first to grasp his hand under the White House portico, was a gentleman who had left his native State, Missouri, for that State’s good, who once played a somewhat important roll in a successful effort to escape the western penalty for horse stealing, but who is a “good Injun” and a loyal Republican now. Still another piratical looking gentleman the President recalled with the remark, “I believe the last time we met, we engaged in a little gun play, J . "Yes, Colonel, and I never got through thanking God that you drew quickest,” was the obviously sincere reply. t t t In the evening the President accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice and his military and naval aides, attended the inaugural ball in the great hall of the Pension Building, but did not dance, contenting himself with looking down on the throng of beautifully gowned women and brilliantly uniformed men, and responding to their salutes with smiles and bows. The ball room presented a picture of exceptional beauty with its profusion of flowers, its artistic arrangement of tiny electric lights and the magnificient assemblage which had gathered to see and be seen. Throughout the day there was evident that spirit of good fellowship which is the chief characteristics of Amer - ican crowds. tt t ' Democrats and Republicans forgot politics and joined in rejoicing over the inauguration of a man whom all can respect, however much they may differ with him politically, of whom Americans can be proud, even when they believe he is mistaken, whose personality, whose courage, whose purity and whose Americanism appeals to men of all parties, and all nations. t t t The inauguration of Vice President Fairbanks, according to custom preceded that of the President and occurred in the Senate chamber. As the hands of the great clock indicated the hour of 12, the President pro tem of the Senate, Mr. Frye of Maine, administered the oath of office to the Vice-President elect, VicePresident Fairbanks then mounted the president’s stand and delivered a brief address, occupying barely five minutes in so doing, although he spoke with great deliberation. When he had concluded the newly elected Senators were sworn in and then the entire assemblage, including President Roosevelt and his Cabinet, proceeded to the Inaugural stand on the East front of the Capitol. t t t The procession which moved slowly from the Senate chamber to the stand was led by the President and Vice-President, the foreign Ambassadors following. Then came the Justices of the Supreme Court, followed by the members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives, then the members of the Cabinet, followed by the members of the Press, and they in turn by the invited guests.

FORCE OF HABIT.

Lake County Star: It’s time now that people can pay taxes again, and soon the assessor will be around to put the tariff on for another year. If everybody would give in their riches as the law intends taxes would not be the night-mare it is to the rank and file. Their effects are in plain sight and they mu9t pay the last cent, while the more fortunate with their money behind veils can slip out by swearing to a lie, and it seems that all the way they can be caught at it is to die and try to pass the “pearly gates.” There they will be asked if they signed and swore to the assessor’s sheets which wfil be shown them, and perhaps some of them will lie out of it then. For Sale: — I have for sale at my farm iu Union township | mile south of Center school house. 800 bushels of white seed oats that I will sell at seed price, about 20 bushels of early choice yellow seed corn, well taken care of and will grow; some good timothy hay, and about 400 bushels of feed corn.

AUGUST R.

WOMAN AND FASHION

Rlnsple and Stylish. This slipple, stylish suit Is of lightweight cloth, a soft gray and dark blue mixture, the threefold stitched seams corded with blue silk, the design done In blue silk Persian cord. The smart cape Is a new Parisian mode, worn over a blouse of the cloth,

with leg o’ mutton sleeves, the long cuff buttoning to the elbow. The cape has a plastron front, with revers and collar of blue silk, the deep fitted girdle being of the same, as also the smart little tie. Shiny shoes and gray stockings are correct with this suit. For Stoat Women. Most large women think it best to stick closely to black, and while this is wise judgment they must not forget that there is black and black. A shiny, lustrous black, such as satin, messaline and the rest (and in woolen goods mohair), is just as enlarging In effect as light colors. Crepe de chene, broadcloth of a dull finish, wool crapes and materials of s like nature are the only ones that reduce the apparent size. In fact, these goods, even in light colors, will not make one look any larger than a black that is shiny and reflects the light The keynote of the materials used by stout women must be flatness, in weave as well as color. That is the real secret of dressing to appear small. Summer Shirt Waists. The summer shirt waist proper is to revert to its original form—that is, it will be made on severer lines than has been the custom in the last few years. For one thing, it will not have the pouch front. Other differences noted are in the sleeve, which is slightly full, raised at the top and finished with a narrow starched cuff. The lines of the waist depend wholly on the figure it is to fit. Some waists have a small yoke, with the material hanging from it in narrow side or box plaits. Others are gathered with moderate fullness into the collar band. As for stuffs, there is to be a return to the hair stripes or fine checks and perhaps dots, although stripes and fine checks come first. Smart Spring; Coat. The new jackets for spring are being shown now, some of them being out of the beaten track and very 'smart. Among these the plaited styles seem to be the favorite. The jacket proper is very plain, made with seams in front and back, extending to the shoulder. This is not only a newer cut, but it is a style easier fitted than the dart coats.

After the coat is fitted oue has only to apply the plait over the seam, and the garment is practically finished. The collar may or may not be used, just as one desires. The sleeve is finished with a box plait also, and the whole makeup of the coat is generally good. Any woman can make such a coat as this, and It will be a good fitting one too) How to Wear Tosr Hat. “Small hats worn well forward” comes the whisper of spring styles wafted across the Atlantic. The hats designed for the opening season at Nice and Cannes are so made and so worn, and they may with safety be taken as foreshadows of spring fashions in millinery. Beside this modest style of hat the excessively broad lines, which were so much in vogue only a short time ago, begin to look greatly exaggerated.

You Must Sleep. If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon develope into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore exhausted vitality. Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and removes the congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens every nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine. "During the past winter I had two attacks of LaGrippe which lift mo very weak, and In bad condition. I was so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies, went for a doctor. The doctor was out, and a neighbor recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, and she brought home a bottle. I had not slept for some time, and had terrible pains in my head. After taking a few doses of Nervine the pain was not so severe, and I slept. I am now taking the second bottle, and am vert' much improved.” HENRY M. SMITH, Underhill, Vt. Dr. Miles' Nervine .!* sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Homemade Stains For Furniture. Here Is a cherry stain which is recommended; A quart of raw linseed oil and a quart spirits of turpentine mixed well with half an ounce of Indian red. Try a little on the wood to be stained, and if too pale put In more color. Keep trying until just the right tone Is found. Some kinds of wood take color more readily than others. The stain must be a true one —that is, thin enougl| to let thy grain of the natural wood sEow TlTrough. One or two coats may be applied, according to the depth required. Finish by rubbing lightly with sandpaper, then giving a single coat of colorless shellac varnish. A good oak and walnut stain is made as follows; Haw umber mixed with the oil and turpentine gives oak color; burnt umber, walnut. For mahogany stain mix as for cherry stain, using not so much Indian red and adding burnt sienna in an equal part. Put in both colors sparingly, trying the stain between times to make sure of shade. The more sienna the duller and softer will be the tone. If too dark add more turpentine and oil. Fresh wood will take up almost twice the quantity of stain required for that which has been oiled or painted. Warmed Over Fish. Mix one cupful of stale breadcrumbs and one cupful of cold boiled fish, picking the latter in small pieces. Add one egg and season with salt and pepper, one teaspoonful of tomato catchup and a dash of cayenne. I’ut this into a buttered mold and steam for twentyfive minutes. Serve with cream sauce made with two tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of Hour, one cupful of milk, salt and pepper to season, and, if liked, add a little nutmeg. Lanndry Hint*. If clothes have become discolored through improper washing, try for a few wash days the plan of scalding them just before putting them into the last rinse water. This will whiten them beautifully, although it is more trouble. Never take the clothes from the line damp and fold down to iron. Let them get quite dry and then bring them in, folding them properly when they are taken from the line, as this will save much ironing out of wrinkles. For the Cellar Storeroom. In a cellar storeroom it is often convenient to have a portion of the shelves locked for the better protection of preserves, provisions and unbroken packages of various grocery supplies, says St. Nicholas. For this purpose slat doors, as shown in the illustration, can be used. The slats are from one-half to

LOCK SHELVES.

seven-eighths of an inch thick and two inches wide and are fastened to the battens with clinch nails or screws driven from the inside. If a much locked storeroom is needed. It will be better to have several slat doors instead of one large ove, From four to five feet is a conveniejt length. Fasten with a padlock and hasp, as shown. Haiihliifc Blankets. When blankets are to be washed for the first time they should first be soaked overnight in cold water and then rinsed. This is to remove the sulphur used in the bleaching. After this they should be soused until clear in a lukewarm lather made with boiled soap and water and then rinsed well In clear water. Read The Democrat for ntws.
