Since the beginning of time, brides have been objects of tender interest, and many customs and rites have arisen because of them. Wednesday has como to be the accepted marriage day, and a goodly percentage of the weddings come to pass on that day, in spite of the prominence given to Saturday by that scion of English Nobility who set the example eight years or so ago. The bride who dings to tradition insists upon white for her bridal gown, and would no more go to the altar without something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue, than she would lay thirteen places at her dinner table. For the dear brides the shops are filled with elegant silver, glistening crystal, and thinnest porcelain. The art and cunning of silversmiths and Jewelers has been exerted that they may wear beautiful ornaments on their wedding day, and for them exit the exquisite and rare gifts chosen by loving friends and devoted relatives to adorn their abiding places. There is a glamour about weddings that makes It a pleasure to select wedding gifts. TO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY. Mrs. Mary J.

Senator La Follette's Wife Investigates 8rvant Girls. MRS. BOBEBT M. LA FOLLETTE. Mrs. Robert M. La Follette, wife of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Is vice president of tbe Housekeepers' Alliance of Washington. This organization for tbe last two years has been conducting- an investigation into domestic problems, and Mrs. La Follette has reached some definite conclusions as to how these problems can be best solved. s She says: "When housekeepers cooperate to elevate household standards, systematize housework and put t on a scientific basis vast good can be accomplished. The servant girl problem la a great economic question, caused by the complexity of our American life. "The housekeeper who has learned the dignity of household labor has more sympathy with all those who perform it, and she can teacb them the best methods based on science. "In training young women for domestic labor and elevating it to a profession, thereby making it attractive and profitable to them, lies much of the solution of the problem. "Tbe American girl cannot bear to be, looked down upon, and the American woman is at fault in allowing domestic labor to fall under tbe ban of social stigma." Mrs. La Follette believes housekeepers should see to It that laundries, bakeries and other commercial concerns which do part of the work of the present day household should be held up to the highest standards of cleanliness and efficiency. There must be plenty of sunshine, soap and rinsing with the family washing. Few of us know anything of tha conditions in the laundry to which we send our clothes. "Wo may want bread of the sort grandmother made." she says, "but we think little of the handling it gets In the bakery. As a concession to our Ideas of cleanliness the baker may wrap it before he hands it iu our door, but through how many pairs of grimy bands has it passed before tbe paper Is put around it? "Much of the housework of the future must be done by these commercial concerns outside of the family, and it behooves each of us to see that It Is done as nearly as possible with the same cleanliness that it is done in oar homes." In Cas of Fire. "More women's lives have been lost In fires through their Inability to use a fire escape or their almost hysterically mock modest fear of being carried down one by a fireman," says Chief A. J. Eley of the Los Angeles fire department. "Women should be trained to know that when a fire is raging and escape nearly cut off it is no time to stand thinking of who may be looking on or who the fireman is. lie is not a man; be is safety personified, and to him she Is not a woman, Just n human life to be rescued at all costs, at any peril." Chief Eley believes that, with the tremendous growth of the city, its many tall buildings and tbe constantly Increasing number of women employees, a knowledge of fire escape etiquette and athletics is absolutely essential. Observation of the following rules would make the firemen's task easier: Pin up your dress between your knees so you will have perfect and unembarrassed freedom when descending the fire escape. Carry scissors, and If you wear a bobble gown cut it so it won't impede your movements. Face tbe steps in descending. Don't look down. ' Look forward or upward. Keep both bands ou fire escape railings and follow the old Eailor maxim of never letting go w4th one hand till you have a firm grip with the other. Kick off high heeled French slippers, which may catch and trip you. Don't clutch at tbe fire escape or fight tbe fireman who is carrying you. He will not let you fall. Relax. Don't let mock modesty stand In tbe way of your life. Remember, a fireman and a woman iose all sense of personality In time of danger you are merely a life to be aaved. he the means to do it.

INDIANA AFFAIRS AT CAPITAL CITY Congressman Cox Finds a "Mare's Nest" Crumpacker Proves Joker.

(Palladium Special) Washington, June 5. A joint resolution recently introduced by Mr. Martin of Colorado, requests "the President to take measures for delivering the control and possession of the Fhiloppine Islands to the authorities representing the people thereof, and to protect their government by a general treaty of neutrality." The resolution goes on to recite that order and stability has been fully maintained in the Government of the Philippines, and that therefore, the fulfillment of the claim for independence should be recognized. Mr. Martin asserts that the Philippines are capable of selfgovernment. This is going Mr. Cline, of Indiana, "one better." as that gentleman has a resolution which does not go quite so far, but which nevertheless seeks to afford self-government to the Philippines, and establish their Independence under an international agreement of the powers for their neutrality. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, has "also gotten into the game with his fellow Democrats, and has gone about the Philippine proposition on a different tack. He likewise has a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for details as to what the maintenance of our positions in the islands has cost this country. The treasury people have opined that it will take three or four weeks to get the figures together, and meanwhile there is much guessing as to the sum. A billion dollars is the most popular guess, being a good, round, mouth-filling sum that suggests prosperity. Democratic advocates of smaller military expenses protest that they are going to cut off one or two new battleships from the annual naval program, and will save about $33,000,000 a year in naval management and a large part of that sum in army conduct. They calculate that if we had not had the Philippines half the naval expansion expenditures of the last fifteen years would never have been incurred. Whatever the treasury may report as to the costs of our management of the Philippines, the figures will be vigorously attacked. Finds Mare's Nest. Congressman Cox must have discovered a "mare's nest" somewhere if his bill recently introduced is to be taken seriously. This measure provides as follows: "That hereafter, while any officer of the army is traveling under orders who has not been furnished transportation, he shall be allowed his actual traveling expenses for each mile actually traveled, and no more. Under such order distances shall be calculated according to the nearest post routes; and no payments shall be made to any officers except by the Paymaster of the Army: Provided, that if said officer travel in a conveyance belonging to or furnished by the United States he shall receive nothing for his said travel." Joke By Crumpacker. During his speech upon statehood, Representative Crumpacker referred to the government proposed by the Arizona constitution as "jackpot government." The young Mr. Lafferty, of Oregon, who is always quick to get at the root of things, inquired what was meant by a "jackpot government." Mr. Crumpacker then proceeded to inform the House as to the correct definition, and his luciclation of "jacKpotism" created no end of amusement. This is what he said: "I assume that it means the 'anti-social' method of making and administering laws. It is a technical term bor

rowed from the science that contributed the word 'standpattism" to our political vocabulary, although I understand that 'jackpotism' is worse even than 'standpattism. " That Kern Boom. The suggestion from Indiana that Senator John W. Kern be made a Presidential candidate appears to be percolating among members of that party at the Capitol, who are not entirely satisfied with the suggestions that have heretofore been brought out in reference to the other distinguished gentlemen. Quiet Little Rumor. It has been quietly rumored that Congressman James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic Congreslonal committee, has been the subject of a good deal of criticism on the part of Democratic members of the Committee on Patronage, on account of his inclinations to take care of relatives. He has secured the appointment of his brother as Secretary of the Committee on Accounts, and during previous congresses had two other members of his family on the government payroll, Mr. Lloyd, like the balance of the Democratic managers, talks a great

ideal about economy, but in his own -r- owl jc i iiju 1 1 i o nitric io c lutuvc that he has put anything of this kind in practice. His management of the last political campaign was seriously criticized, and it is questionable whether he will be able to secure enough support to retain his position as head of the committee through another election. Will Show Revenue. Postmaster-General Hitchcock, who undertook the administration of the postal affairs of the country facing a deficit of $17,500,000, announces that the present year will show a revenue of $1,000,000 in excess of the Department expenses. The Postmaster-General says that penny postage is the jgoal he is aiming at, and he expects jto make this the great achievement of hfs administration. The wiping out of the deficit is the forerunner, and it will not be surprising to see the new rate within the next twelve months. Being Congratulated. The victories of theA Federal Government in the cases' of the Standard Oil and the Tobacco Trust, have been substantial ones for the Administration, in dealing in a reasonable and practical manner with these great combinations, which have been operating in restraint of trade. President Taft and Attorney-General Wickersham are receiving congratulations from all over the country, as the greatest "trust busters" in history. Wind and Temper. There is a closer connection between wind and temper than at first sight ap pears. A coldish wind has a bracing effect and. on the whole, is beneficial. In countries where hot winds occur periodically, on the other hand, these are regarded as a nuisance, if not a curse. Every one almost gets cross, weary and done up and has a beadache daily. In Egypt the season when crimes are commonest is when the hot khamseen blows. Nearly always during a severe sirocco the Arabs in Algeria were restless, if they did not attempt an actual rising. The sola no. which now and then rushes across the Mediterranean in Hery blasts from I Africa, upsets every one in Spain and is tne worst wma in mat country. And even In the Pc;irl of the An tilles the fierce hot wind Is such n pest that it is recorded of a family living in Havana that they made it n rule in the household to preserve absolute silence until the wind disap peared. It was the only plan they could think of to avoid famtly quarrels. The Xeonday Of Lifts. Married people should learn what to do for one another's little ills, and tor the ills of the children that may come. They arc sure sooner or later to have occasion to treat constipation or indigestion. When the opportunity comes remember that the quickest way to obtain relief, and finally a permanent core, is with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the Treat herb laxative compound.

DUEL WILL CEASE 111 GERMAN ARMY Any Officer Who Fights a Duel to Be Treated Like a Criminal.

tSpetMal Cable from the International News Service.) Berlin, June 5. The recent fatal duel which was fought just outside the gates of Berlin by two army officers has raised 3 wave of indignation against this barbaric way of setlling personal difficulties and in consequence a monster petition to the kaiser, asking him to declare the army officers participating in a duel will be erated like a common criminal is being circulated. Ever since the present kaiser's grandfather, William I, thirty years ago, decreed that he would tolerate no officer in his army who was not ready to defend his personal conduct or honor on the duelling ground, pistol combats between military adversaries have become practically compulsory. German law does not recognize the duel, but officers are not subject to the ordinary civil laws and when men wearing the kaiser's uniform, or who have once worn it begin to box one another's earsjin a public restaurant, and to fling about such epithets as "pig-dog," no regimental court of honor has any alternative but to "approve" a combat under deadly conditions. The "approval" of this tribunal, to which disputed points are nominally referred for the purpose of ascertaining whether a duel is justifiable, is tantamount to a command to fight. Any officer or ex-officer who disobeys it is hopelessly and Irretrievably lost. The kaiser has to a certain extent, approved of the aims of the Anti-Duel league, but he has never ordered an officer who fought a duel to be traeted like a civilian committing the same offense, and as a result of the sentences rendered by mere pro forma court martials have never amounted to anything more than a few weeks arrest in quarters, that is to say, relief from military duties on full salary. The petition now being circulated alleges that the fact that army officers are considered privileged to com

him exceedingly unpopular in the army. LIQUOR DEALERS TO FIGHT FOR LICENSE (National News Association) Chicago, 111., June 5. Plans for an aggressive fight for the license, regulation and control of tbe liquor business are to be discussed at the con-, vention of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of America, which is in session here with an, attendance of more than a thousand members from all parts of the country. Mayor Harrison delivered an address of welcome at the initial session at the Hotel Sherman today. . . . HIS VERY WORDS. fhe Property Man Cheerfully Quoted Them to Beerbehm Tree. Beerbohin Tree, tbe English actor, hnd a comical experience on bis first appearance as the corpulent Fnlataff. In the last act he had arranged that Fa lata fT, disconcerted by gibes and buffets of the fairiee in Windsor forest, should make one herculean effort to climb the oak tree. The pegs that were to serve ns supports for that tree were always conspicuous by their absence. On the mornjng before the performance Mr. Tree was told they should positively be fixed on the tree. Tbe morning came, but with It no pegs. Eloquence was stifled; even Invective faltered. lie pointed to the tree and with the calm of despair blurted out to the defaulter. "No pegs!" Such an ejaculation, spoken more in sorrow than in anger, would, he hoped, appeal to that last remnant of conscience which even the papier mache bosom of a property man might be suppose to retain. In the evening there was a dress rehearsal, but still no pegs could be seen. Mr. Tree's form quivered beneath the padding with pentup emotions, and in a torrent of passion and a voice shaken by righteous wrath be exclaimed: "Where are those pegs?" . "Pegs pegsl" exclaimed the property master, with exasperating affability. "Why, guv'nor, what was your words to me this morning? 'No pegs.' And, there ain't none.'
