THE SGHOOLHQUSES WHAT THEY MEAN TO THE PEO PLE OF THE COMMUNITY. AND HOW THEY ARE BUILT It Is the Money That Stays at Home Which Makes Good Ones Possible —A Simple System That Works. Your schoolhouses. Those of the town and those of the country dis tricts. You know what they mean to you and to your children. They represent the difference be tween ignorance and enlightenment. They mean to your children the differ ence between signing their names with a mark or in writing. They represent the difference between the civilization of the twentieth century, as this country knows it, and the bar barism of benighted Asia or Africa. You want the schoolhouse, do you not? You would willingly make sacrifices to keep it, would you not? You glory in the free educational system of this country, do you not? But, Mr. Citizen, did you ever sit down and consider carefully what it is that makes possible the school houses of this country the school houses that stand as beacon lights on the tops of a thousand hills the schoolhouses that carry cheer and en lightenment to the hearthstones of the homes of a thousand valleys? It is the taxes that you ,and your neighbor, and your neighbor's neigh bor pay into the school fund year after year, is it not? And why do you pay it? Because you own property—real es tate, bonds and mortgages—and be cause that property is valuable. What makes your real estate val uable? It is the prosperity of the commu nity. As the community grows and prospers the value of your property increases. As your property increases in value and you write your wealth in thousands instead of hundreds, the amount you pay into the school fund increases. When the school fund in creases the old building gives place to a new and more modern structure, in which your children and your neigh bor's children secure their instruc tion. And, again, the erection of the new building but adds more to the value of your property. It is an endless chain system that builds villages out of cross roads, and cities out of villages. Who are you, Mr. Citizen, and who is your neighbor and your neighbor's neighbor, whose contributions to the school fund make the schoolhouses possible? You. and your neighbor, and your neighbor's neighbor, are the farmers, the merchants, the doctors, the blacksmiths. You are each and every man who go to make up the community in which you live, and it is only whe» you work collectively that you accomplish results—that you build up new schoolhouses. And how shall you work collec tively? By a simple system of boosting one another. You, we will say, have oats to sell—your neighbor buys them of you. He, you will say, has dry goods to sell—you buy them of him. It is this system of mutual help that makes the town grow into the city, that increases the price of real estate in the town and in the community sur rounding it, that buiWs new school houses. The dollar that is unnecessarily sent away from home never bought so much as a nail for a schoolhouse, never put a shingle on its roof. But the dollars that are unneces sarily sent away from home send back to the community which they left only ruin. It is these dollars that prevent the replacing of the leaking roof, thtf broken door hinge or the worn out desk. It is the dollars that are unneces sarily sent away from home by you, and your neighbor, and your neigh bor's neighbor that decrease the value of your, and your neighbor's, and your neighbor's neighbor's real es tate. That makes the school fund grow less year after year. That forces the discharge of the competent teach er for a less competent one. That re duces the standing of your schools in the educational system of the coun try. Work it backwards, send your money for the things you need away from home instead of spending it at home, and the system that builds vil lages out of cross roads, and cities out of villages, that increases the value of your real estate and permits you to write your wealth in four figures where previously three figures were enough, and you will make of the thriving little city but a village, and of the village but a cross roads. Do you not believe, Mr. Citizen, and do you think your neighbor and your neighbor's neighbor should believe, that it pays best to keep the dollars in the home community? Keep the system moving forwards, help to make a city of your village. Boost your town's interests and you boost your own. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. Pie Vender Had Kick Coming. There is a certain man in a little northern New England town who sells home-made pastry at the county fair each year. The other day he called on the town officers to protest against the condition of the road leading from his house to the fair grounds. "Land sakes!" said he, "no custard pie would ever hold together to cross Buch roughness as that" Criminals' Power Over Animal*. Few criminals have possessed such power over animals as did the Span iard Guevarra, who was executed some years back in Newgate, England, for the brutal murder of a woman on Hampstead Heath. He caught and tamed two rats so that they would come at his call and follow him about anywhere. The mice, too, would come running out of their holes at the sound of bis voice. GAMES OF SHARPERS. Some of the Methods Used for Secure ing Money Dishonestly. Millions upon millions of dollars are fraudulently taken from the pockets of the people year after year through the operation of confidence men. The schemes used by these men are numer ous. Nearly all are based upon the fact that the average person is always willing to take the best of a bargain. During the past few months swin dlers have been operating in different parts of the country, and their method, while a modification of an old swin dling game, has some new features worthy of notice. Their usual proced ure is to locate farmers who are not well known to local bankers and loan men. They approach the farmer and under pretext of seeking to purchase farming land, manage in some way to secure his signature. This is general ly done by inducing him to write a lettei\ or to sign some statement. Once the signature is secured, a ficti tious deed to the farmer's land is pre pared and this is fixed up in such a manner as to show the seal of some notary or other officer. Then with this deed the swindler is in position to negotiate a loan upon the land. This game has been successfully worked in a number of western states. Residents of agricultural districts should be continually on their guard against the signing of receipts or any kind of contract which may be pre sented to them by strangers. Within the past year some smooth swindlers have succeeded in securing thousands of dollars on fraudulent notes, secur ing from farmers, who were foolish enough to take for trial washing ma chines, refrigerators, etc., and to give their receipts for the same. These re ceipts turning up later as negotiable notes. The writer of checks cannot be too careful in filling in the amounts. The favorite methods of the check receiver is to insert after the words "six," "seven," "eight" or "nine" the letter "y" or "ty" and change the ciphers in the check accordingly. Thus it can be seen that a check written for eight dollars, by the addition of the letter "y" can be made to read for eighty dollars and the -changing of the amount, if it be in numerals, by the addition of cipher, makes the forgery, when well executed, hard to discover. HELP THE TOWN. Some of the Virtues in Friendly Riv* airy Between Merchants. Good, healthy competition and friendly rivalry, devoid of all spirit of hoggishness, is a good thing for any town. Each and every business man and property owner in a town, and the country immediately surrounding it should be intensely interested in every project, particularly should every mer chant be active in matters that means general prosperity for the place, and which will increase trade for all the merchants of the town. People gen erally like to do their trading in towns where there are well kept stocks and plenty variety of goods, and where there is sufficient competition as to assure low prices consistent with good business judgment. .There is little use for the merchants of a place to blow and brag about their business, unless they can demonstrate that they are "delivering the goods" and satisfying their customers. There is no good to be looked for by merchants decrying the goods and the methods of their brother merchants. There is no more effective way of killing the business of a town than by fostering a spirit of petty jealousy and of narrow selfish ness. Wherever such a spirit is found it will be discovered that trade is be ing turned to some other town where merchants and business men work more in harmony with one another. TOWN BOOSTING TIPS. The visitor who trips over your broken sidewalk will not have a very high opinion of your town as a place of business. The home town is the best place for the boys if you will make the home town prosperous. Keeping the money at home will do this. It means home opportunities for your children. Don't drive around the hole in the road week after week. Get your neighbors together and fix it. The home market for the farm prod ucts ^s the saving clause in our sys tem of government. Take away the in your community. Not necessarily home markets and the farms will soon become unprofitable and valueless. No city mail-order house will ex tend credit to you when times are hard, or crops fail. Could you con sistently ask it of your home mer chant When you send your money to the city during the days of prosper ity? Encourage small factories to locate by means of a bonus, but by keeping the children in the home town that they may become factory employes, and get a home opportunity to raise in the world. •i Do not begrudge the money paid for taxes when it is used for road and town improvements. Such an ex penditure is like bread cast upon the waters—it will return many fold. Roof Gardens for Berlin. It is proposed to introduce root gardens in Berlin. A good many doc tors and professors are doing all they can in favor of the scheme, and are agitating for the gardens, particularly in the narrower city thoroughfares. The idea would not be difficult to carry out, the houses being mostly all of one height, and it Is already pos sible in many paits to walk from one street to the next along a good broad roof track. Belgian Girls Learn Housework. In Belgium girls are expected to give five, weeks out of each school year to learning housework.

W I black satin- THE PLAITED SKIRT Garment Has So Many Advantages That It Is Sure to Remain in Favor. remain in high favor throughout the fall at least. They lend themselves so conveniently to the hiding of various kinds of defects. The flare below the knees makes the thin woman look less thin, and on the other hand it makes the stoUt woman look lesg large around the hips. There is a tendency to reduce that flare below the knees, but both the thin women and the stout women are sure to set their faces agaifist it. When a platted skirt is correctly made It is a joy forever. Plaited skirts prevail in all tii* light weight cloth costumes being rctde up for the open air horse shows race meets and floral parades of let* sum mer and early auttimn. The type of plaits first to gain favor, t*» side plaits, are being rsed moftf With them are seen bia?. bands, ^Tightly wider than of old, and more distinctly outlined by stitching and Apings. Even more Jaunty than it use3 to be is the short box coat, though the back, while by no means tight, is slightly fitted and clings somewhat to the figure. The sleeves of these coats show a bit more of the gloves than do the sleeves of suits meant for Knock-about wear, and the cuffs are not so severe. But coat sleeves are not short. They are steadily growing longer only in the box coat they are pushed toward the elbow to fdve place for the long wristed gloves rora with the white and light colored short coai costumes. The hats that accompan? these costumes are broad and mucf beplumed. Short women, however, must nr* wear these short coats. Modish tf? they look on a woman of the right fi^ ure, tall and slender, they become surd on bobby women. Such wome*, if sensible, have skirts that touch tfffc ground, and coats of proportionaVfl length. Linen Costumes Are Fluffy. Linen costumes made with fasci nating little shoulder wraps or co^Tfe are rivaling the sheer skirt and sOt coat models, and here, too, one otfAa finds the sleeveless coat which h*s found such favor this season, the cA^t being as a usual thing formed almost entirely of lace or of embroideriM linen and lace en suite with a skirt *1 linen and worn over a sheer blouse £f lingerie material. The sleeve of tlh blouse to be donned under a sleevelefQ coat must be 6f the fluffy and frilly type, a plain sleeve, however correct in line, not giving the desired effecL Dafaiy fl©En§£« & /A UR artist has sketched two charming designs for transforming rem* nants into smart blouses. The standing figure shows a par ticularly graceful arrangement of lace and ribbon overnet. The blouse itself is of cream net, with a collar-band and deep of lace back and front over this are very broad pointed revers made of heavy lace mounted on ribbon, and they are continued in long ends, which fall down the skirt from under a wide belt of the ribbon »"ses high at the back, and is ornamented with fancy buttons. The puffed sleeves of net are quite covered by the flounce of wide lace that falls •fihi p^oulders, and if desired the net sleeves could easily be continued with lace into the long mittens which are gaining ground every day. Thus it will be seen how easily a few odd lengths of coarse or fine lace and net, and a tew yards of beautiful ribbon, can be translated into a most effective and graceful garment. The blouse worn by the second figure in the illustration is even premier in its combination of lace, net and ribbon. The chief feature is the original little waistcoat and epaulettes of chine ribbon with a narrow v!j uF °f Over the waistcoat comes a wide strip of filet lace, which passes over the shoulders and cuts squarely across the front and back. The under chimisette is of tucked ring-spot net, as are the sleeves, which are tied with a narrow ribbon to match that of the waistcoat and epaulettes and the wide waist-belt is of the chine ribbon. Such ornamental blouses as these would do admirably for afternoon teas or bridge parties and their cost would be infinitesimal if manufactured out of remnants which can be picked up for next to nothing at the sales. Women who have invested in plait ed skirts need have no fear that the skirts will be wasted. Plaited skirts, for utilitarian purposes, are sure to GOWNS FOR AUTUMN Embroidered Pongees Sure to Be Pop ular—Make Up Well and Are Inexpensive. Embroidered pongees are popular for early autumn costumes, or will be. They make up into elaborate cos tumes that belie their comparative in expensiveness so admirably that many women prefer them to serge suits. In the pattern pongee suits plaits do not appear. The skirts are gored and flare widely about the feet. The pongee coat must always be lined, unless the prospective wearer wants a saggy. cgat. As a rule, girls and young matrons wear it short and elderly women prefer long pongee coats. Etons with elaborately trimmed sleeves and vestees are seen in pon gees, and so are box coats with em broidered collar, cuffs and pocket flaps, but the short pony with three quarter sleeves and deep turnback cuffs that suggest the Louis XV period is seen most frequently. With some of the pongees, instead of embroidery, silk cording is used for trimmings, and the suit is relieved by a little jack et of netted silk trimmed with silk Hercules or soutache braiding and mounted over white taffeta. One of the smartest costumes seen recently was a tan pongee worn by a young girl. It had an absolutely plaiu skirt with eleven gores, and a coat, quite as plain, made box fashion, lined with white taffeta and fastened with pongee covered buttons the size of a silver quarter. PLAID SILK COAT Now that fancy silk coats are the correct thing, one sees all sorts of models, some of them exceedingly good looking. Our sketch pictures a showy coat in black and white plaid silk taffeta, with inlaid collar of black velvet, bordered by bands of plain white taffeta, which is also used for the belt. A band of black embroidered white silk trims the short and unique sleeves. The Popular Pump. Pumps, both in white kid and in white leather, are worn, and the trim ming for the pump consists of a tiny bow of white kid. There are enamel pumps in the pale colors which go very well with the pastels, such as light yellow, the most delicate of green and the finest and softest of heliotrope. In each and every case the stock ings must match the shoes, and the match most be exact. There is no such thing as shoes and stockings that do not match. They must cor respond to a nicety, fabric, ton* and general styla being the same. A S IDENTIFYING "U. S." ANIMALS. System of Branding Authorized the Army Regulations. Whenever you see the letters "U. S." branded on the left fore shoulder of an animal make up your mind at once that that beast is or was at one time the property of our rich old "Uncle Sam," says the Washington Post. Then, again, if you know the key to the system of branding utilized by the quartermaster's department, U. S. A., you would in a moment be able to tell the organization of the army to which that animal was as signed immediately after purchase by the government. Last October, when the army of Cuban pacification was being em barked from Newport News, Va., many of the army horses and mules await ing shipment became mixed with those of other organizations, but it only needed the knowledge of Sergt. Casey to decipher the hoof brands and dispatch the animals to their proper organizations. In other words, these brands serve as "identification tags." Branding public animals is not a matter of choice, but is provided for by the army regulations, which directs that "public animals shall, upon the day received, be branded with the let ters 'U. S.' on the left fore shoulder. Horses assigned to organizations will also be branded on the hoof of one forefoot, one and one-half inches be low the cronet, with the designation of the company. Branding irons of uniform size and design will be sup plied by the quartermaster's depart ment. Letters 'U. S.' to be two inches in height. Letters and numbers of hoof brands on the same line to be three-fourths of an inch high, the let ter to precede the number, and blocked so as to penetrate the hoof one-six teenth of an inch. For example, the hoof brands on horses assigned to band, Ninth cavalry, would be CB9 to troop A, Fifth cavalry, would be A5 to Company A, battalion of en gineers, would be BEA." Jewel for Child Heroine. Ethel Johnson, a child heroine ol the Columbia disaster, has received a magnificent butterfly of gold and dia monds from an unknown admirer, ac cord to a Portland correspondent ol the Seattle Times. It was taken to the home of R. R. Dingle, where the little girl is stop ping, on Saturday by a jewelry store employe. There was no note of ex planation, no signature, telling who was the sender of so magnificent a gift, merely the words, "From a Port land admirer." Little Ethel Johnson saved two lives in the Columbia disaster. She rescued her child companion, Effie Gordon, and held her above water until taken aboard a life boat. While struggling with her compan ion a man who could scarcely swim was also saved by her. He seized hold upon her and was also held above the water by her childish efforts. Perhaps this man sent the present. John Knox, Prophet. John Knox, the reformer, would seem to have possessed in no^ordinary degree the spirit of prediction and to have foretold with accuracy not only certain remarkable events of public importance, but also the ultimate fate of certain individuals. Thus when con demned to the galleys at Mochelle he took his sentence with the greatest composure, merely remarking that in spite of it he would "within two or three years, preach the Gospel in St. Giles', Edinburgh." This prediction, most improbable of accomplishment at the time it was uttered, was after wards literally fulfilled. Knox predict ed with accuracy the deaths of Thomas Maitland and Kirkcaldy o\. Grange, and solemnly warned the re gent, Murray, not to go on to Linlith gow, as if he did so he would there meet his death. The regent disregard ed the warning and did meet with the fate of which Knox had forewarned him.—Exchange. Thought Brakeman Steered. The little gi?l had become well ac quainted with automobiles long before she had ridden in a railroad train, and she had «ven attempted to help her father steer on the family's automo bile trips. When she clambered on the steam cars for the first time she was much excited and her questions fair ly tumbled over themselves. Finally she noticed the brakeman turning the wheel between the two cars. She watched him approvingly for a few minutes and then as he suddenly left the wheel she grasped her father in alarm. "Tell him to go back, papa he must go back," she shouted. Papa looked at her in amazement. "Who must go back, Dorothy?" he asked. "Why, the man who steers," she said breathlessly. "He's left the wheel and we'll run off the track." Hydraulic Lifeboats. Several of these craft are now in service in the United States. The propelling agents are jets of water driven out by a powerful steam pump through nozzles under water. The nozzles can be made to drive the boat forward or backward, or turn it, the boat, of course, beinfe driven by the reaction in the direction oppo site to that of the escaping water. A speed of 100 miles an hour was re cently maintained in New York har bor in a trial trip.

Hob art (Ooy right, 1906, by G. W. Dillingham Co.) I pulled a wheeze on Bunch Jef ferson a few weeks ago that made him sit up and scream for help. Bunch is the Original Ace all right, but it does put dust on his dignity to have any body josh his literary attainments. Bunch can really sling a nasty little pen, but he isn't anybody's John W. Milton. Not at all. He can take a bunch of the English language and flatten it around the edges till it looks quite poetic, but that doesn't make him a George O. Khayyam. Not at all. The trouble ,with Bunch is that his home folks have swelled his chest to "One of Those Hand Painted Suburbs." such an extent by petting his adjec tives that he thinks he has Shake speare on a hot skidoo for the sand dunes, and when it comes to that po etfry he thinks he can make Hank Longfellow beat up a tree. Bunch and Alice joined the local #lub of course, and when Bunch read some of his poetical outbursts at a free-and-easy one evening, society got up on its hind legs and with one voice declared my old pal Jefferson to be the logical successor to Robert H. Browning, Sir Walter K. Scott, Bert Tennyson, or any other poet that ever shook a quill. Bunch began to fancy himself some —well, rather! When Peaches and I went out West chester way a few weeks ago to pass a week-end with Bunch and Alice all we heard was home-made poetry. When Bunch wasn't ladling out im promptu sonnets Alice was reading one of his epics or throwing a fit over a "perfectly lovely" rondeau—what ever that may be. It was clearly up -to me to hand Bunch a good hard bump and wake him up before that poetry germ began to bite his arm off. Bunch told me that in response to the urgent demands of his Westchest er society friends he contemplated get ting. out a little book of his poems and this was my cue. I figured it out that the antithesis of a book of poetry would be a cook book, so I hustled. In a few days I had the book framed up a few days later it was printed, and before very long Bunch's West chester society friends were grabbing for what they supposed was his fever ish output of poesy. This is what they got: BY BUNCH JEiFFERSON. (From Recipes Furnished by Famous Friends.)

Nice pickles can be made from green trading stamps, but be careful to squeeze out all the premiums from the green trading stamps before using, because the premiums are full of pto maine. IMITATION ROAST TURKEY (fur nished by Reginald DeKoven).—Find a copy of a Thanksgiving day newspa per and select therefrom the fattest turkey on page 3. Now, with a few kind words coax the turkey away from the newspaper in the direction of the kitchen. Care should be taken that the turkey does not escape in the butler's pantry or fly up the dumb waiter, because the turkey is a very nervous animal. Once you get the turkey in the kitchen lock the door and prepare the stuffing. The best stuffing for a turkey is chestnuts, which you can obtain from any au thor who writes musical comedy. Now remove the wishbone carelessly and make a wish. Add 24, multiply by 19 and sprinkle with salt. Then rush the turkey over to the gas stove be fore it has a chance to change its mind. Let it sizzle for four hours and serve hot with jib cocktails snd Phil ippine napkins on the side. MOCK BEEFSTEAK (from a recipe furnished by Billy Pinkerton).—Care fully remove the laces from an old shoe and put them away, because they can be used for shoe-string potatoes just as soon as the potato trust gets started. Beat the shoe with a ham mer for ten minutes until the tongue stops wagging and it gets black and blue in the face. Then put in She fry ing pan and stir gently.

If there are more than four people in the family use both shoes. IMITATION IRISH STEW (from a recipe furnished by Seiimas MacMan us).—Remove the jacket and waist* coat from a potato and put in the saucepan. Add three quarts of boiling water. Get a map of Ireland and hang it on the wall directly in front of the saucepan. This will furnish the local color for the stew. Let it boil two hours. -When the potatoes begin to moult it is a sign the stew is nearly done. Walk easy so as not to frighten it. Add a pint of rhubarb and serve hot with lettuce dressing. If the lettuce isn't dressed it ought to he ashamed of itself. I haven't seen Bunch since the book came out. But I know that he will get back at me good and hard some of these fine days.
