When breakfast things are cleared awqjf D The same old problem's rising, **v For she again sits down to think Of something appetizing, The dinner she must soon prepare, Or give the cook directions. And great is the relief she feels When she has made selections. When dinner things are cleared away The problem that is upper Is just the same with one word changed-- " What can I get for supper?" She wants to give them something new. Ami long is meditation. Till choice is made, and then begins The work of preparation. When supper things are cleared away ' Again her mind is worried, <, For then she thinks of breakfast time, When meals are often hurried. She ponders o'er it long until The question is decided. Then hustles 'round till she makes sure That everything's provided. Three times each day, week in, week out, This problem she is meeting, And often she is sore perplexed In making plans for eating. For one likes this, and one likes that, And what is appetizing To some is by the others spurned As food that they're despising. That "woman's work is never done" Has often been disputed. But that she's worried-is a fact. And cannot be refuted. The worry over what to eat Is greatest of these questions, k Aud glad she'd be If someone else Would make the meal suggestions. --Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegtfikli. The Midway reproduced. " J. E.

Chinese are dangerous enemies, for they are treacherous. Tnat's why all counterfeiters of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous. They look like DeWitt's, but instead of the all-healing witch hazel they all contain ingredients liable to irritate the skin and cause blood poisoning. For piles injuries and skin diseases use the original and gen­ uine DeWittB Witch Hazel Salve. Julia A. Story. ^ Ladies' Pistakee Club.

"Way Down East," the New England pastoral play which will open the sia- s m at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago, tells one of those simple, heraely stories of country life that goes straight to the heart. It is a story of "plain people" and shows with irrestable force the power of love to surmount obstacles and level castes. As presented at McVick­ er's the beauty of this idyl life is bhraght out in full. The play is given with the most magnificent scenic and light effects conceivable. The first act in particular is a wonderfully realistic representation of a rolling country. To the right and left and at the back as far as the eye can see there is a splendid panorama stretched out showing hills and rills and all the natural features of a country landscape. There are no wings, no borders to destroy the illus­ ion. Squire Bartlett's pretty home seems set down in the midst of a prosperous farm and the sheep, cows and horses graze in quiet content on the hills be­ yond the fence. The company which is to interpret this play, written by Lottie Blair Parker and elaborated and staged by Joseph R. Grismer, is one of the best ever brought together and does credit to Manager Wm. A. Brady's judgment It is the same organization which ended a phenominal run of seven months at the New York Academy of Music in May. Phoebe Davies is the heroine and Odell Williams plays Squire Bartlett. Among the other prominent members of the company are Charles B. Wells, Felix Haney, George Backus, Frank Bell, J. H. Davies, R. A. Hilliard, Sara Stevens, Mabel Strickland, Ella Hugh Wood, Caro Gordon Leigh, Jennie Mil­ lard and twenty others. Saturday night, when the theatre opens for the new season there will undoubtedly be a large audience to welcome the players and the play and to honor the return of the theatrical year.

Am Aaerlma Dlaaer Party, Here is Clement Scott's picture of an American dinner party: "You are no- sooner ushored into the reception room than jou feel at home> in half a second. Conversation is general and animated. Your hostess is genial, gracious and an artist In the difficult ceremony of In­ troduction. The room and the atmos­ phere beam with friendliness. Intro­ duced to your dinner companion, she Is determined that you and your partner shall be friends at once. You have not to make conversation. She makes it for you. If you know anything, she will drag It out of you in double quick time, and you have some difficulty in holding your own against her readi­ ness. wit and sly cynicism. She can discuss everything and knows some­ thing about all she discusses, but with­ out pedantry or affectation. She has the art of appearing to like you and be Interested in you whether she is or not This may be humbug, but it is delight­ ful humbug all the same. < "The elements of flirtation are never to be despised by man or woman of any age. This social art is generally ignored In England, and that is why American women are so supremely popular. And what is the consequence? You go home from a dinner party In England' tired and bored to death or wander off td your club to try to for­ get it all. You go home from an Amer­ ican dinner party exhilarated, a little proud of yourself and saying sincerely, 'It "has been a jolly and delightful even­ ing.' At least that is what I have felt whenever I have beert honored with an invitation in New York."--San Francis­ co Argonaut.

"The oth­ er day while I was settin In the barn door one of my turkeys come yerkin along and peekin right and left and finally spied a rag on the ground that every turkey had been travelin over for a week. Turkey picked It up and slatted it out. That minute every turkey in the yard started for him. He run. It evidently struck him all of a sudden that he had got hold of suthin that was mighty valuable. He run, and lie dodged, and he ducked, and he run some more. Every few minutes some one of them turkeys would get him by the wattles or else by the rag, and there would be a tug of war. And at last another turkey got the rag away, and then there was another chase. Guess them darn fool turkeys would have been runnin the fat off them­ selves the next day if 1 hadn't set the dog on 'em. "That's Just the way with a turkey. Let any other one in the flock get hold 'of suthin, and every one of the blamed fools will start for him or her and run till they fairly drop. "And, as I have said, there Is a gobd deal of human nature right there."-- Lewiston Journal. A Dinner of Mule mnd Axle Qrean. The following is an Incident of the siege of Ladysmith narrated by Sir William MacCormac: "An officer re­ lated an incident which will serve to illustrate the lengths to which things had gone as regards food. A shell fell into the mule lines one afternoon, kill­ ing one mule. In spite of other shells following the first one in rapid succes­ sion, so as to make occupation of the spot very dangerous, the men in the vicinity made a rush at the mule like so many ravenous creatures, cutting off the flesh with their clasp knives in great chunks. They then in safer quar­ ters built flres, toasted the meat and swallowed it at once. To make them more palatable the men fried their bis­ cuits In the axle grease provided for the carts. The want of fatty foods and vegetables was greatly felt. In spite of all their hardships nobody ever thought of giving in. The general in­ quired as to how many horses in the camp could carry their riders six miles, In view of a sortie being made, and the answer came back that only 12 horses in the whole camp could do it"--Lon­ don Lancet. Jut What He Needed. An Invalid called on a physician for advice. The doctor wrote out a pre­ scription, charging the patient 2 guin­ eas for It Some time afterward they met in the street. "Well," said the doctor, "you are looking 100 per cent better! That medi­ cine, though a little expensive, was just what you needed." "Doctor," replied the patient, "after I had paid you the 2 guineas for the prescription, I couldn't afford to have It made up, so I didn't take & single dose!"--London Answers. The Bnvllah War. Fights are a recognized part of the school education among the boys In England. In America when boys fight It is because they are angry with each other; in England they fight because they are anxious to find out which is the better man physically. They may have no quarrel or ill feeling, but if their friends cannot agree as to their respective prowess the ultimate result is pretty apt to be a "mill."--Self Cul­ ture. . Wot a. Warm Garment. "I can't find1 words," exclaimed "the moral man, "to express my disgust for the man who uses his religion as a cloak. He's everything that's bad." 'He certainly is foolish, to say the least," remarked the practical man, for religion such as his is necessarily to flimsy he's liable to catch cold in It" --Philadelphia Press. Cheek to Frivolity. The Chinese minister says the cos­ tumes worn by American women strike him as being In some respects ridicu­ lous," said Mrs. Blykins. "Yes," answered Mr. Blykins.- "That's owing to his point of view.
