PEOPLE OF THE DAY
Mieeiaelppi'a New Senator.
By defeating Governor Vsrdaman at
the recent, primary elections In Mis
sissippi John Sharp Williams, l>cmo
eratic Door leader in the house, be
comes the nominee of his party for the
senators hip. As Mississippi la safely
Democratic Mr. Williams Is sure of
election if he lives lons enough. As
the term of Senator McLaurin doss
»ot expire till lIUI the representative
has ample time In Which to prepare
for the toga.
The prospective senator, however, is
well equipped to take the job at a
moment's notice, having spent four
teen years In the lower house. Four
years ago he was- choeeu floor leader
of the minority and will doubtless re
tain that leadership in the Sixtieth
congress.
Possessed of s vast fund of Infor
mation aud a ready debater, Mr, Wil
liams is recognised as one of the wit*
of tbe house. A good st«yy teller, be

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.
often regales his hearer* with a hu
morous tale. At tbe end of one of his
recent debates with Governor Varda
man be talked about pride.
"There is a decent mid noble pride,"
said Mr. Williams, "and there is a
pride 4hat is mean and ludicrous. An
aged cltisen of Yasoo tells of sn old
woman whose pride was of the latter
sort .
"This old woman lived iu Yorkshire.
There waa a funeral one day In the
next village. She did not attend it
but a neighbor of hers was there.
That night she called on the neighbor
and said:
" *WeH, JJancy. I hear you wor at f
funeral.'
" 'Yes, I wor,' Nancy replied.
" 'What kind of a funeral wor It?'
"Nancy sniffed.
" 'Why, it wor a wery mean sffair,'
she said. 'There wor nobbut a few
biscuit sn' sich.'
" 'Ah,' said the other old woman,
'them's the sort of wsys I don't hold
to. I've lost five, but, thank 'evlns,
I've burled 'em all with 'am.'"
A Vetsran Saa Fighter.
Rear Admiral Kobley D. Kvuns, pop
ularly known as "Fighting Bob," will
probably command the big fleet of
warships soon to lie sent to gusrd
Uncle Ham's Interests in the i'aclflc
ocean. Recently Admiral Kvsns was
at the Jamestown exposition with s
squadron in honor of the visit of
Crown Prince Wllhelm of Sweden.
While there, so the story goes, he was
outwitted by one of his own men.
Among the jsckies "Fighting Bob" is
regsrded aa a martinet in the matter
of neatness of apparel; otherwise the
Incident would not have happened.
A number of tbe Jsckies were given
shore leave, and Admiral Bob stood
on tbe deck watching the detail

formed to go ashore. "Send tbst third
man in tbe second line here," said tbe
admiral to an officer. "Is that the
only pair of trousers you have?" asked
Bob as tbe ttailor approached. "It Is,
sir," said tbe man, saluting. "Go down
below and tell the commissary stew
ard to give you a new pair and don't
let me see you report for shore leave
with torn trousers again." The trou
sers were duly issued without coat to
the seaman, and it developed later that

pair of trousers sad placed himself

The Hot Watsr Bag.
Boiling water should never be put In
to a rubber bag. Do not much more
than half All the bag. then place It In
the lap before putting In tbe stopper
and csrefully press out the steam.
This makes tbe bag softer, aa It 1s
relieved of tbe (tnessur* tbe steam
makes If left In It
After using tbe bag drain out the
water, let It hang bottom side up for a
little while, then take It down and
with the mouth blow a little air Into
It, just enough to keep the insldes
from coming together, as it will often
do if there Is no sir In It, In which case
the bag Is almost sure to be ruined in
pulilug It spart
If tbe bag ever should stlrK put Into
It some hot wster with s few drops of
ammonia, let It remain a few minutes,
then with s thin, dull edged stick try
to separate the inside carefully.
Care af the Teeth.
In no way is more Injury done to
teeth than by tbe natural acids In
one's mouth.
They act quickly on tbe enamel,
bringing esvlties aa well as yellow
ness.
I.imewater, a agent, should
be used to rime the mouth several
times a day, and bicarbonate of soda
is recommended even more highly for
the ssme pirpose.
A toothbrush should always be
curved, at least a little, that the length
of the center bristles sbsll not inter
fere with the end.
Unless those st the tip are longer
than any other part no benefit Is de
rived of Its use. A flat brush Is good
for the frout teeth, aud thst is all.
Care of Parquet Floors.
A few hints ss to the care of parquet
floors may lie useful Grease or oil of
any sort should never lie used, as it
penetrates the wood little by little until
after a few applications It Is streaked
with stains. When the surface gets at
all scrstched wax ef tbe consistency of
Isrd should lie used, applied with a soft
woolen rsg. The dust should flrat be
thoroughly swept off the floor, and
when It Is quite clean it should be pol
ished with the wax; otherwise the dust
sud dirt will be rubbed lu by the wax
Instead of removed.
Aids the Seamstress.
A very simple aud practical aid to
the dressmaker Is a device called a
"work holder," the Invention of an In
diana woman. It wus designed espe
cially to ssslst the sewer In basting
and similar work. As shown In the
Illustration, It consists of a holder,
which can be Instantly clamped to the
work table or other nearby object. At
the top of tbe clamp Is a large needle,
"U - r ' : : -
HOLDS THK HLOTH FIJIMI.V.
which Is supported rigidly upright lu
the bolder. In use one end of the piece
of goods to be sewed Is slipped on the
needle and the gooda stretched with
the left baud. The operutor is thus
alilo to sew freely and quickly with
the right hand. As one part of the
piece of goods Is sewed It Is slipped
off the needle and advanced to the next
point.
Hair Wash and Tonio.
For the wash cuf a large, Juicy lem
on lu halves. Dip tbe head In a large
bowl of tepid water, while the lemon
Is rubbed over tbe scam and among the
roots of tbe batr. Soak and rub the
hulr thoroughly, then rinse well lu wa
ter of the same temperature. Dry at
once with vigorous rubbing, and there
will be no danger of taking cold. No
soap Is required. The add of the lem
on removes dust and grease, leaving
tbe hair pliable and gloasy.
Peliehing Mahogany.
The simplest and best way to clean
mahogany la to take warm water and
soft cloth, dampen the cloth well and
rub on a white soap, making a good
lather. This rub freely over tbe article
to be cleaned sud at once wipe off and
dry with soft cloth. The result Is su
perior to tbst secured with any polish
and more lasting. Same gives the beat
and moat lasting polish to patent leath
er shoes.
For Colds and Hoarseneee.
For colds and hoarseness lemons are
an old and approved remedy. For a
cold tbe lemon should be baked whole
until thoroughly tender, then eaten hot
with loaf sugar to sweeten Just before
retiring. For hoarseness the juice of a
lemon mixed with the stiffly beaten
white of egg and loaf sugar or honey
to sweeten Is most efficacious.
Odds and Ends ef Soap.
A good use for tbe blta of soap that
accumulate on toilet stands Is to dry
them out thoroughly by placing on tins
In the warming oven and then pound
ing them to a powder. Mixed with
bran or oatmeal and aewed Into little
chsisecloth bags, Lhsy ar* excellent for !

Operation—|
Mrs. Malinda Akers, of Basham, Va,, writes:
"I had what doctors call 'prolapse,' and couldn't
stand straight. I had pain in my back and
shoulders, and was very irregular and profuse.
Doctors said an operation was needed, but I
couldn't bear the thought of the knife. After tak
ing three bottles of Wine of Cardui, I could walk ■
around. Can now do mv housework and am in I
splendid health."

especially adapted to cure women's diseases. It

Ganderbdn's September
. Forecast.
(Copyrighted 1907 by C. A. Keith)
The old school bell is soon to
ring, the poets all arise and sing,
the frost will soon displace the dew,
and the wind jamb through the
peek-a-boo. Untutored youth, with
tears of brine, returneth sadly to
the mine, and the new schoolma'ani
prepares to whack the bad boys
where their pants are slack.
The football player lets his hair
Fall into autumn unrepair,
And the more athletic college
cops
The students with the largest
mops.
The moon will be full on the
21 sit, aud the password for the
month will be "Soak Standard
Oil." Everybody will run a little
harder for President. Mr. Bryan's
smoke will continue an interesting
spectacle. Mr. Roosevelt will drop
a wasp into the hip pocket of Mr.
raft, and that laggard will move
up a couple of places in the race.
Mr. Fairbanks to
pass the grandstand every seven
seconds sucking buttermilk with a
nipple, out of bis pneumatic shirt
front. The war with Japan will
sleep fretfully, and Uncle Sam will
sit by the cradle crooning soft lul
labyes and giving paregbric with a
funnel.
The coming county fair is billed,
The big prize hog is corned and
swilled
The pumpkin that will lift the prize
Is watched with proud and hopeful
eyes,
And the family mare to win the pot
Is training for the county trot.
The autumnal equinox will come
in on time on the 34th, aud Mr.
Harriman will absorb all water that
falls to use in floating stocks for de
velopment of our great natural re
sources. The Standard Oil Com
pany will place a twenty-year 4 per
cent mortgage upon the earth and
will pay the $29,400,000 fine im
posed by Judge Senator
Beveridge will end his honeymoon
abroad and return to affairs of the
Republic, which will restore that
feeling of security.
The summer girl romantic
thing! will homeward come
upon the wing, and show her
neighbors for a week where some
man bit her on the cheek. The
freckles on her arms (aud legs?)
resetrble those on turkey eggs, and
the neighborhood will bet per
the men were only joshing her.
The lucky wives of millionaires
will put up jamb and pickle pears,
But the most of us, denied these
boons,
will pass the winter full cf prunes.
Some red-hot sealing-wax, alack
will fly down Nancy's tender back,
exploring where the flesh is bare,
and three shrill screams will pierce
the air. The men, a-washing at
tiie pump, will hasten thither on
the jump, but Nancy 'mid the
fruit o'erturned, will not divulge
where she is burned.
President Roosevelt, fresh from
Oyster Bay, will issue on the 20th
a proclamation officially opening
oyster season. Turnips and foot
ball players will run to tops.
White duck trousers will begin to
migrate. \ Comet will make one
night Stands in the northeast sky.
The weather and politicians will
become very agreeable. Nature,
which has been in the nude for the
outdoor summer painting season,
will put on a thin gossamer, and
the Corn Huskers' Uuion will por
mulgate a new wage scale by
which they will get the corn and
the farmer the husks.
The boys on Satuiday are loose
To stain their hands with walnut
juice,
The cider swollen apples drip,
The pig squeals for a morning nip,
And the billy goat, by Autumn
cheered
Lets cool Winds frolic with his
heard.
Summer excusion tourists will
come home in a chair car with their
skull grass full of carbon mites,
the aisle full of braided legs, and
the saw-tooth chair back embossing
the name of the railroad on their
spineS. Tließfg Dipper will ap
pear in the heavens upside down,
which will encourage Prohibition
to resume his war paint and ex
tend the booze drouth. John Bar
leycorn will return to his guns
with a Booker Washington tint un
der both eyes and his pants torn,
and the Kentucky Colonel will toss
in his mint bed while Carrie Na
tion rides a night-mare through the
windows of'his boudoir.
The cotton fields with boll and stem
Are beckoning to dusky men,
And soon from cotton seed we'll
boil
The pure, imported olive oil.
The Greeks began their year in
September. Our Labor Day was
their New-Year's Day. They did
this because their families spent
the summer at the seashore at con
siderable exj>en.se. While the men
played poker at home at even more
expeuse. This left the Greeks
badly in the hole, and the only way
they could get out was to have the
new year begin September ist and
swear off drinking and smoking at
that time. This enabled them to
save iu September what we save in
January, and was a much better
plan than ours.
Cheer up, cheer up, the summer's
o'er the piping quail is up at
tember sweet is on the job, and the
green corn ripens on the cob.
October crisp will soon be here
With softly-falling leaf and sere.
With frosty morn and hunter's
moon
And pumkin pie, not yet but soon.
