CHEAPER CLOTHES

Those critics of tile present tariff who have been so much distressed over its supposed’fatlure io do anything to reduce (he cost of high; living iriiglit, to their profit, consider the question of woolen clothes. It was these (hat, according to the, protectionists' iht-tlry. were to be least affected. We are told, as the New / York ‘ Eyening Post reminds its, that tlie cost of the cloth is spell tin inappreciable part, of- the cost of the suit , that.: Hie saving on account of the lower tariff was hardly worth considering. The Post reprints the following advertise-

ment of “an eminently respectable firm of merchants”: Customers will find a saving anywhere from $2 to $5 on practically all our suits ‘ and overcoats of imported woolens. This roughly is the difference the tariff madelabor cost is, of course, unchanged. The high tariff people are surely 'most unreasonable in expecting that all the evils wrought by them can’ be undone in a few months. High prices after they have been maintained for a sufficiently long time become, as it were, customery prices. And they are likely to pr e-! vail ever after radical changes in! Hie tariff taxes that made them | high. Even under absolute free trade we should not pass immedi-j ately. from high to low prices. The. new influences must have time to niake themselves, felt. Men get used to charging certain prices, and other men get used to paying, and ! there is likely to be little or no reduction till dealers actually begin I .to compete with one another. Generally speaking, it must in truth be said that practically every evil that we are now seeking to cure is a 1 heritage from republican days. For j years we have been proceeding on the theory that all government had to do was to make people rich A which, of course, meant making, some people rich at the expense of others. Now other ideas prevail.’ We are beginning to see that the’ so-called little people be safe-’ guarded against tlOrapacity of. trusts and tariff benWciaries. A reduction of from $2 to $5 in a suit of clothes is certainly something to be welcomed. In addition to lower cost we shall get better—greatly better - material. When! manufacturers can draw on the wool supply of the world they will not be tempted or driven into using shody. Even the woolen men are doing well. It is most unlikely: that the people of the United States ' Would vote to exchange the present! wool schedule for th,e schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which President Taft himself denounced as indefensible.” it is no reverence tor “maxims” as against "mar-J kefs’ that leads the average man! to congratulate himself on being able to save from $2 to $5 on a! suit of clothes. On the contrary his I thought is almost wholly of “mar-; kets." We judge from our adverHsing columns ■of yesterday that! there are some remarkable “values”! in dur own shops,-—-Indianapolis News-. ■ ( ailing cards, the correct sizes, both plain and linen finish, constant- i iy in stock in The Democrat’s fancy! stationery department. flirth announcement cards and envelopes at The Democrat office 1

HELPFUL HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES

Pivoted Teapot That Swings For Brewing.

A practical novelty is a pivoted teapot with an upper compartment to bold the tea leaves and an alcohol lamp beneath the’pot, with which the waler is boiled. At the instant of boilink the flame is extinguished and the teapot tilted backward until the water covers the tea leaves. The teapot is left in this position as long as may be necessary, and when returned to-its normal position the tea is ready for drinking and is not further affected by contact with the tea leaves. » To Clean Aluminium Ware. Aluminium ware may be cleaned by washing in hot water with plenty of soapsuds. It may be polished with a paste.. of jeweler's whiting which has been sifted to remove hard particles Paste may be made with soapy water or water and alcohol or Water and ammonia added to the whiting. Spread paste smoothly on surface and polish with soft cloth or chamois skin Nickel and silver are polished in the same way. Any good metal radish may be used. If this fails, discolorations may be removed with a very dilute solution of nitric acid. Never use alkalies such as washing soda or potash in cleaning aluminium. Bean or Pea Soup. An excellent soup which costs little or nothing is prepared thus: Soak one cupful of beans or split peas overnight and in the morning put to boil in two quarts of water. When well prfriSbjlel pour <>ff the water and add fresh, (look slowly and add water from time to time to keep the required amount. Simmer until the beans or peas are tender enough to pass through a sieve. Add a pint of milk, a lump of butter, salt and pepper and let boil up once; to be eaten with .crackers or toast: made from stale bread that happens to .be on IrnndLima Bean Puree. Old beans which are not quite tender should lie used for soup. Boil about three quarts in a good quantify of water with a pound and a half of lean lamb or veal. When the beans can be easily mashed with a fork press them through a coarse sieve. Take out the meat, chop it fine and return it and the mashed beans to the pot. If liked, a tiny bit of garlic may be added. Drop in some chopped parsley and seasoning and serve with cubes of toasted bread.

A ROMANCE OF THE LONG AGO

An Episode of the Time of Cromwell. f

During the reign of the protector in England John Gaunt, a cavalier who had been very prominent in hi§ fidelity to his king, was hunted by the Puritans. He was but twenty years old, or white and red complexion amR with very handsome dark eyes. These, with the long locks worn by the cavaliers, rendered it easy for him to disguise himself as a girl. When hard pressed by Cromwell’s troopers he took refuge in a peasants cottage where there were several maidens and/making up a costume from among them, braided his hair and when sought for at the cottage appeared as one of the peasant’s daughters. It happened that they were loyalists. But John Gaunt knew not what to do with himself. He could not live openly under his true name and sex, nor was the way clear for him to go to France. As a temporary makeshift he determined to go to work as a servant. There was a young widow whose father and husband had been killed in the king’s defense, Lady Esther Riall. Gaunt went to her house, among others, and had the good fortune to be engaged as housemaid, but so marked was the impression he made on Lady Esther that he was transferred to her as her own waiting maid. Here was a complication. Gaunt could think of no excuse to offer why lie should not serve in such capacity without revealing bis sex, yet it-would be highly dishonorable to do so. When the same evening his mistress called upon him to assist her to disrobe Ire confessed that he was no peasant maid, but John Gaunt, heir to an earldom, a fine old English confiscated estate and in danger of losing his head Lady Esther permitted Gaunt to remain in her service, performing only such duties as were proper for him to perform, though in case lie were caught thus befriended it would go hard with his protector. There were many royalists in hiding' and Cromwell busied himself hunting them Ont and getting rid of them that they should not con tribute to the instability of his government. The officer of the troop who had got on Gaunt’s tracks, a red headed. I’ufi.tan who could sing pSalms louder and in more guttural tones than any man in England, made a vow that be would find him and turn him in at the Tower of London or live forty days on bread and water. But weeks passed while the man he sought was serving the Duly Esther. One day one of the peasant girls from whom Gaunt had borrowed his costume came to the Iliall manor house to tell him that he had been betrayed and that the troopers were coming to take him. She had run across country, thereby shortening the distance Gaunt ran up to Lady Esther’s room for a farewell before an arrest which seemed inevitable. Opening a door concealed by tapestry, she revealed a space only deep enough for him to stand upright.

“Pull this cord,” she said hastily, “and you will open a ventilator which will give yon air. As soon as the troopers are gone press this spring, and the door will open of itself. But before coming out be sure there is no danger, for if you are found here it will be not only your ruin, but mine.” Gaunt stepped into the opening, and the Lady Esther closed the tapestry door with a click. A few minutes later the troopers rode up to the house. The red headed Puritan dismounted and tramped in’and upstairs, lie was met by Lady Esther. He made known to her the object of his visit and was in vited to search the house. Meanwhile his men had surrounded the premises so that the man they sought should not get away. The otttcer went from room to room, exploring every cranny and corner, thrusting his sword here and there, but found no one, and if lie stabbed any one the victim made no cry. Finally he came to Lady Esther's room, where she haul remained the while. “I have had positive information.” he said, “that John Gaunt, claiming to be Earl of-Carrensford, is serving you as lady's maid. You are hiding him. 1 give you the choice to surrender him or go with me to the Tower to await the pleasure of the lord protector.” “If the earl is here it is for you to take him. As for me, here is the protector's safeguard for me and my estate.” She drew a paper duly signed and sealed by England's ruler. The officer read it. turned on his heel and went tramping down the staircase. By this time John Gaunt had been in his narrow standing place for nearly an hour. Lady Esther ran to open the door An inanimate body fell against her. She thought him dead. A glance at the cortl that opened and shut the ventilator. which lay in a heap on the floor of the compartment, told her that it had broken and that the prisoner had been suffocating. She threw up a sash, opened and 'dosed his arms, chafed him and threw water in his face. Seeimr a faint tinge of. color; she persevered and at last revived him “Why did you not open' the-door?” she asked. “And betray yon?"' Such c.g:d:r I fixed forever the love of the /bung widow. John Gaunt finally escaped, toTnuny. t" return : iter a number Of with Cliariesc 11. at the restoratio;/ Hes title and estates were rotur.i, d to t|im.o>nd he led to the altar t'l idy Esther Rial!.
