GOV. MARSHALL BOOMED

For President in National Monthly May Issue—Many Excellent Contributions.

A great national boom for! Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of In-j diana, for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1912. is forrdally launched in the May number of National Monthly, of which Chairman Norman ‘E. Mack of the Democratic National Committee is the editor. Coming through this important channel, the friends of Governor Marshall are greatly elated over the prominence which he will gain in being the first of the candidates to be taken up by Chairman Mack in his widely read Democratic magazine, now generally looked upon from one end of the country to the other, as the official organ of the Democratic National Committee. The principal pages of the May number of National Monthly are devoted to the Marshall boom.| with special articles on Governor! Marshall by Meredith Nicholson the noted Indiana writer, and by James W . Reilly, associate editor of National Monthly. In these articles Governor Marshall's career is exhaustively reviewed, and while Mr. Nicholson’s artielc is a splendid eulogy of the Governor, Mr. Reilly's article gets right down to bra-> tacks, and is a most intimate introduction to Governor Marshall, carefully reviewing his official acts from the time he became chief executive of the state of Indiana. No review could be fairer, and it puts Governor Marshall in a brilliant setting before! the Democrats of the United States. There is no question but what the articles will be widely read and commented upon, not only by Indiana Democrats and newspapers, but by Democrats and Democratic newspapers throughout the entire United States. The articles are illustrated with fine pictures of both the Governor and Mrs. Marshall, and Mr. Reilly has taken especial pains to introduce Mrs. Marshall to the women of the land, and to present her as one well fitted in everv way to become its "first lady.”

In the May number of National Monthly Speaker Champ <• Clark has a special article on the work of the special session of Congress. It is the first magazine article he has written since assuming the Speakership, and the only one contributed to the May magazines. It was written on April 15 th.

Senator Gore of Oklahoma ,lates a few of the awful experiences which he passed through in fighting the Indian Land Fraud Conspirators. Governor John F. Shafroth of Colorado contributes a forceful article on “The Initiative and Referendum." Frank B. Lord writes on “The Twelve New Democratic Senators.’’ Harriot Stanton Blatch of the Woman’s Political Union of New York City, writes on the suffrage movement. “Big Bill” Edwards, Street Commissioner of New York City, the

man who saved Mayor GaynOrV! life, tells in an interesting article': illustrated with many pictures, how he keeps the streets of New I York clean. Isabel Joyce"writes! interestingly on “The New Dem- j ocratic Women oi Washington." Chairman Mack and Frank B. Lord, both write at length On I the splendid work being done by the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives at the! special session. Bessie Bain-] bridge writes on “John C. Cal- * houn.” Kate Burr's article on! “Lost Opportunities of American! Capital,” is one of the best of the month. Hon. Benjamin S. Dean) contributes the fourth article in! his interesting series on “Amer-i ican Democracy.” Ruth Bryan; Owens, a daughter of Hon. \Villiam J. Bryan, tells in a pleasing way of her visit to Turkey. Geo. Ade’s humorous article on “The Missionary,” is one of the best things to be found in any of the May magazines, and the pretty story, “To Oblige a Lady,” by Gouverneur Morris, is one of the best shqrt stories of the month. The May number of National Monthly can be found on all first class news stands, price TO cents.

THE STORY OF A WAR VETERAN

A Soldier’s Sacrifice For the Woman He Loved.

A generation ago while traveling I was obliged to spend a Sunday in a small town. In the morning after breakfast to kill time I strolled into the country. Spring was coming on. the sun was shining warm and bright the birds were singing and the buds opening. Passing a cemetery. I turned in at the open gate. In one corner a man and a boy of perhaps four years of age were looking over a group of headstones of uniform style. 1 sauntered to where they were and saw at a glance that they marked the graves of soldiers who had died in Union armies daring the civil war. I spoke to the man. asking for information, and he told me that the spot had been set apart by the authorities and as many bodies of tbe country's soldier boys as possible brought back and interred there. ‘There’s Jack Kilburn.” .be said, pointing. “He and I enlisted on the same day. Over there lies Gordon Whitcomb, who was shot down beside me at Shiloh. Tom Porter, just beyond, died in hospital, all chnms of mine." I noticed a headstone on which was cut:

RAYMOND HALL. He Died For the Girl He Loved.

“It looks as though there might be a 1 story behind that epitaph," I remarked. ■ “That? Oh, uo—only a plain inci- j dent." Then, unconscious that he was giving a romance, he told me the inci-! dent: Those were exciting days when we fellows inarched away to the tune of The Girl I Left Behind Me/ and the worst of it was that several of us were leaving behind the same girl. She was the belle of the town, and we were all in love with her. But there was no chance for more than one. tbe one the ■ girl loved, though there were two who ; led all the rest. These two were Ray- j mond Hall and another fellow who— \ well, the other fellow was Jim Martin. ' Hall was desperately In love with the girl, but it was the other fellow who had taken her fancy—nobody knew why, for Hall was certainly the better man of the two. He didn’t know that his rival had got ahead of him till after the regiment got down into Kentucky. , Then he saw letters coming in for Jim j Martin addressed in a hand that he recognized. “In some people love seems to work like a disease. I mean those cases you ; read about in the newspapers where ) they kill themselves or the one they | love or sometimes a rival. Hall suffer- ; ed like one of these, but he didn't kill ; anybody. He exposed himself recklessly when we were under fire, and it j looked as If he were trying to get himself killed, but no one knew whether he was or not, for he was a reticent fellow and kept his own secret. ‘Two years passed, two years of campaigning and hard fighting, during which the rivals fought shoulder to shoulder. Raymond always seemed to Jim to be resisting some terrible temptation, and in a fight when Hall was In his rear Martin felt uncomfortable. Yon see. they were in the same company, and under fire men get excited and sometimes kill a man in front.

“Well, in time the rivals were both taken prisoner in the same fight While being transported south with other prisoners in a box car the whole car load took up some of the flooring and got out Of course the guard went after them in hot haste, not stopping for a surrender when getting sight of one of them, but shooting him down as he ran. It happened that the rivals ran in the same direction and took refuge in some bushes very near together. Presently they heard a voice: ‘“There’s one of ’em down in those boshes.’

“ ‘Jim,’ said Raymond, speaking rapidly. ‘l’m going to run for It.’ “ ‘Don’t you do it,’ said Jim. ‘They’ll shoot you sure. If we lie low’—- *“ ‘The chances are they’ll kill us both. They think there’s only one here. I’ll run and draw the fire. You live to go back and make the little girl happy.’ "There was no time for more words nor for any sort of protest on Jim’s part. A Confederate was coming with a cocked gun. Raymond jumped up and ran like a deer. There was a shot, and he dropped dead. Then the Confederate went back to his comrades. “Martin lay low till all was quiet then went out and found his rival dead. There’s no use trying to tell how a man would feel at such a time. Just think of him having suspected his friend of wanting to kill him, and here he was dead that the girl he loved might be happy with his rival. Martin buried the body in a fence corner with a big tree directly north, noted the place to know it again, then set off on two weeks' skulking till he got into the Union lines. Soon after the grave was within our pickets, and Martin took up Hall's body and sent it north.” The man stopped speaking and, tabbing his little boy by the hand, was _ __ “Who placed the headstone?” “The girl.” * V “And what became of the man who was saved for her?” “He married her.” “Thank you for your story, Mr.”— I gave him time to help me out “Martin,’’ he supplied. “I’m Jim Martin.”

SIMPLE LINES.

Summer Outing Gowns Will Be Handsome, but Plainly Cut.

GOWN OF LIKEN AND LACK.

Linen and cluny lace are the fabrics exploited in this charming afternoon gown. The thrifty girl is already preparing her wardrobe for summer conquests at the seashore or in the mountains. and she will do well to note the simple lines on which this and similar new gowns are built. Laces and ribbons and frills have their places, but it is not on this season’s outing garb, which is cut on lines of severe simplicity. although it may be embroidered and trimmed with flat applications of lace. Indeed. It is said that mohairs are likely to take the place of linens for serviceable summer wear, mohair showing less quickly than linen the signs of wear and tear. Mohair does not wrinkle, dost may be easily brushed off it. and It needs less often to be sent to tbe laundress than the linen costume. Moreover, mohairs are so much prettier than they have been that they cannot fail to please. Some of tbe new mohairs look not unlike satin and are almost as stipple and easy to drape.

FOR THE TABLE.

Hindume Lace Trimmed Tablecloth With Appliqued Motifs. Lace trimming appears on the smart new tablecloths to an extent to be expected in a season when lace ,is used everywhere that it is possible to use it. One particularly handsome cloth was adorned with a deep border of lace, made by applying lace motifs to the surface of heavy net. The lace motifs were also appliqued on the linen. > * Fashion Is fickle in table service as well as In other things. The formal dinner table of today Is not what it was a few years ago. Tbe whole

LACE TRIMMED CLOTH.

scheme of decoration for the modern dinner table makes for simplicity. Any suggestion ot ostentation is bad i form. The table is not strewn with trailing smilax and loose flowers, nor is the bare mahogany seen, as of old. except for luncheon or breakfast. There is a reversal of taste in favor j of good linen, plain glass, good flow* ers and a general practical simplicity of service in every detail. ’ Glass bowls with a few well selected flowers are even supplanting the silver ones, but the latter are often of real beauty and lend to the table such distinction that it will be difficult to supplant them entirely.

HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE

New Strainer Spoon That Lightens Kitchen Work.

A strainer spoon for which many advantages are claimed by the New York man who devised It is shown herewith. The secret of this spoon’s l versatility lies in the fact that it is only partially meshed and that the bowl has enough solid metal to enable It to be used in straining, for skimming Jelly or soup, poaching eggs, whipping cream or for any of the myriad uses to which spoons are put in the kitchen. As will be noticed tbe bowl has a wide strip of metal around the edge, only a comparatively small portion in the center having the wire meshing. The consequence is that this implement can be used either as a spoon or a strainer and the cook need not go to the cutlery drawer aidozen times while preparing a meal to get just the utensils needed for a particular task. Banana Fritters. Yolks of two eggs well beaten and one-half a cup of milk, one tablespoonful olive oil or butter, one saltspoon salt, one cup of flour. When ready to use add the whites of the eggs beaten stiff and a tablespoonful of sugar; cut four bananas in six parts, lengthwise, and then crosswise: put them into a bowl, sprinkle with powdered sugar and three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice; cover and let stand an hour; cover each piece with the batter and fry in deep, fat: drain on brown paper; serve hot, with lemon sauce. Fresh Tripe and Vegetable Soup. Fresh tripe cut in inch pieces and fried in a little butter. Boil until yellow. An onion cut up and also fried. Add one cup of water and stew until the tripe is tender. Add three cups of milk and one cup of peas or beans (cooked). Shred some carrots, add these and pepper and salt and onehalf cup of capers or chopped pickles, into which a pinch of soda Is stirred. Add these just as It is ready to serve. Some toast cut in squares and rubbed in garlic is a great addition to those that love garlic.

Tomato Ketchup. Cook one gallon of choice ripe tomatoes, strain them and cook again antll quite thick. About fifteen minutes before taking up put into them a small level teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one tablespoonful of mustard seed, half a tablespoonful of whole allspice, all tied in a thin white cloth bag. At the same time add one heaping tablespoonful of sugar and one teacupful of best vinegar. Salt to suit taste. Seal in air tight bottles or jugs. Foam Sauce. Dissolve a tablespoonsu 1 of cornstarch in two tablespoonfu.. of cold water, pour over it a cup of boiling water and cook until clear. Cream together a half cup of butter and one of sugar and pour it over the boiling starch, stirring rapidly, which causes it to foam. Flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and two of vinegar, which give it something the flavor olf wine. ■ Hungarian Carrots. Peel and cut carrots into pieces one inch and a half in length. Cut these pieces into thin slices and cut these slices into strips a little larger than matches. Boil them in salt water until tender. Drain off the water and add* one-half cup of sugar and one-fourth cup of vinegar. Cook for 15 minutes in this mixture and serve. To Sponge Wool Cloth. Wring a piece of cotton cloth out of water, leaving it so wet that it wilf just escape dripping. It should be a little wider than the cloth to be sponged. Spread it on the wool and iron until it is dry. then wring out of water again and lay on. lapping over the edge of the part sponged at first. Stewed Brown Beans. A sweet Spanish red pepper or two cooked with stewed brown beans improve the flavor, and a slice of onion is a further improvement Beans do not readily take a foreign flavor. There is consequently little danger of overseasoning them. Some persons add a tomato as well. Tea andfCoffee Stains. A tea or coffee stain that has been allowed to get stubborn can be removed by moistening the spot with cold water, spreading it with glycerin and leaving it for several hours. At the end of the time wa*h with soap and water and repeat if necessary.
