Every boy and girl down on the farm In times gone by used to roast eggs, pieces of meat and potatoes in embers In the old wood cook stove or in the bis open fireplace. Barns were search ed for hens' nests, and the fine, fresh eggs were wrapped In heavy paper. The paper was dampened, and several thicknesses of It protected the eggs from scorching. You know, wet pa per In a ball is bard to burn. Well, the wrapped up eggs were put on the live coals and partially covered by them. In from Ave to fifteen minutes the egg was roasting hot and ready to eat with salt, pepper and butter. A pin hole was made In the big end of the egg so as to let the steam escape to keep It from bursting the shell and the meats from running out. If you have never as a small boy roasted such egg you have missed one of child bood's greatest Joys. New York Press. How It Got There. A gamekeeper was going over his master's estate one morning, when he encountered a gentleman of the poach ing class. The gamekeeper noticed that the other's hat was bulging in a curious manner. After subjecting tbe hat to an examination he found a fine young pheasant. "How did this get here? the game keeper asked, glaring at the culprit. "Blowed if I know." growled the poacher, gazing at the pheasant with an apparent look of great perplexity. "The blooming thing must bave crawl ed np my trousers leg. London Tit-Bita. .

Nothing has been so surprising, to politicians of all affiliations and factions, as the discovery that the first convention of the Progressive party, now gathering in Chicago, is really going to be the biggest politi cal gathering of the year. Biggest In point of actual delegates in attend ance, and vastly the most significant in respect of the enthusiasm and determination of these same delegates. Instead of a Bide-show, it turns out that delegations have been made up with fractional votes In order to provide opportunity for a reasonable representation of the men anxious to be Identified with the movement. The spectacle of Connecticut's State Progressive convention, sending six or seven times as many delegates as the call apportioned to it, and di viding its votes among them, is surely suggestive. That same thing has been done by a majority of the States in which there is a real Republi can party. These are the States In which the new movement is strong and in which it is now recognized as the real party of the future. A very little while ago it was popularly supposed that the new move ment had an interesting strength in the so-called Progressive States of the West. Then the fact burst upon public recognition, that Pennsylvania, chief of industrial States, second of all in electorial strength, the pos sessor of the greatest Republican majority in the Union, was as deter minedly progressive as Kansas or California. The movement has swept across the Alleghanies. Now comes the still more significant development that New York, State and city, scandalized by the revelations of the degradation to which boss-owned and machine-run politics have brought them as indi cated by the Rosenthal revelations, is arousing itself to an upturning that promises to overmatch the revolution recently achieved in Califor nia. There is but one direction in which this revolution can sweep New York: the direction of the Progressive party movement. Never was there a time when everything seemed working for one great end, as this political year. Without New York, they said a few weeks ago, national success for the Progressive party was not to be num bered among the possibilities; and New York, the conservatives thought, was utterly unattainable. Today, New York is ripe for revolt against everything with the savor of old machines, old methods, old scandalous procedure tainting it. New York has had its lesson brought close home. It has looked into the cold, murderous eye of the beast; it has been forced to ask itself whether the system has left anything uncor rupted, has permitted anything to escape its blighting touch. New York, in short, is suddenly rising up as from a political Rip Van Winkle sleep discovering the very things that the real progressive communi ties have been taking on for years past, and demanding them for her own protection against the beast. The Progressive party is the moving, leading, inspiring force in the nation today. It is advancing as no other movement ever advanced in American politics. The Republican party captured the lower house of congress two years after it was founded; the Progressive party gives promise of capturing the nation in the very year of its organization. It is accomplishing this political miracle, because it was needed, be cause there was no other instrument to do what the people wanted, and because it has entered into a contract with the public to do what the public demands shall be done.

The report has been circulated in i Richmond that Finly Gray, congress man from the Sixth District would leave the Democratic party and join the Bull Moosers. Congressman Gray has issued the following statement de nying this and stating his position in the present fight. "I am a Progressive Democrat and have received and accepted a nomina tion as such progressive. Having join ed here with progressives of both par ties to advance progressive policies I welcome the support of all with whom I have acted. I have made no statement, but will stand upon my record in congress and the principles I promised to support if elected. Ex cepting as to new questions as the same may arise, I do not believe the declarations of candidates made pend ing elections best determine their po litical status, but it is their votes and support of policies at the earliest op portunity offered after the elections, that fixes such Btatus." Roosevelt's Confession of Faith "Surely there never was a fight better worth making than the one In which we are engaged. It little matters what befalls any one of us who for the time being stand in the forefront of the battle. I hope we shall win, and I believe that if we can wake the people to what the fight really means we shall win. But. win or lose, we shall not falter. Whatever fate may at the moment overtake any of us. the movement itself will not stop. Our cause is based on the eternal principles of righteousness; and even though we who now lead may for the time fail, in the end the cause Itself shall triumph. Six weeks ago, here in Chicago, I spoke to the honest representatives of a convention which was not dominated by honest men; a convention wherein sat, alas! a majority of men who, with sneering indifference to every prin ciple of right, so acted as to bring to a shameful end a party which had been founded over half a century aco by men in whose souls burned the fire of lofty endeavor. Now to you men who. in your turn, have come together to spend and be spent in the endless crusade against wrong, to you who face the future resolute and confident, to you who strive in a spirit of brotherhood for the betterment of our nation, to you who gird yourselfs for this great new fight in the never-ending warfare for. the good of humankind, I say in closing what in that speech I said in closing: "We stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord. Roosevelt at Chicago, August 6th. HENRY BELL'S COMET. The First Steamer That Plied For Hire In Great Britain. Among the curiosities of advertising may surely be placed the first adver tisement of the first steamer that plied for hire in Great Britain namely. Henry Bell's Comet. Thus ran the ad vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of 1812: "Steam passage boat, the Comet, be tween Glasgow. Greenock and llelens burg. For passengers only. The sub scriber having at much expense fitted up a handsome vessel to ply upon the river Clyde between Glasgow and Greenock to sail by the power of wind, air and steam he intends that the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur days about midday or at such time thereafter as may answer from the state of the tide and toleave Green ock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days in the morning to suit the tide. The elegance, comfort. safety and speed of this vessel require only to be proved to meet the approbation of the public, and the proprietor is de termined to do everything in his power to merit public encouragement. The terms are for the present 4 shillings for the best cabin and 3 shillings for the second, but beyond these rates nothing is to be allowed to servants or any other person employed about the vessel." What would poor neglected Henry Bell have said could he have seen his humble little Comet, of whose ele gance, comfort and speed he was so proud, alongside a modem ocean racer or one of the latest palatial river steamers of the Clyde or Thames, all so well advertised?

BartoL Changes In Plumage That Are Puz zling to the Novice. Most every one in America is ac quainted with the goldhuch. but many people know the bird by tbe name of lettuce bird on account of Its bright yellow color. Goldfinch is a very ap propriate name, as the bright yellow of the male when he is in breeding plumage is like burnished gold. The female goldfinch is more modestly dressed than her mate. The changes in plumage of the male are very inter esting and to the novice somewhat puz zling. Until the student becomes acquainted with the bird he may wonder why he sees no males during the winter. The truth is at this season the docks of sup posed female goldfinches are really of both sexes, the male bird having as sumed in the previous fall, usually by the end of October, a plumage close ly resembling that of the female and young bird of the year. The male re tains this Inconspicuous dress until late in February, when one can notice a gradual change taking place in some of the birds. This renewal of feathers is actively continued through March and April, and by May 1 our resplendent bird is with us 'again. The song period with the male goldfinch continues as long as he wears his gold and black livery, for it commences as early as the middle of March and ends late in August. Martyrdom of trie Bride. A peculiar aud barbaric marriage cus tom of the Kabyle women of Africa consists iu the martyrdom of the bride, who. clad in her wedding finery, stands through an entire morning against a pillar iu the village square, her eyes closed, her arms pressed to her sides and with only the narrow base of tbe column for a foothold, the while a ring of villagers criticise and comment on her appearance.

A Spirited Young Lady Writes of Hair and Herpicide I am really ashamed of some of my girl friends when I look at their hair. There is no sense in having such look ing heads. It simply shows that while they may be scrupulously neat in every other way, they are careless about their hair. Thin, scraggy wispy hair generally indicates dandruff and dandruff is caused by a germ. Newbro's Herpicide will kill that germ and keep the scalp as clean and healthy as can be. This permits the hair to grow naturally and luxuriantly. That terrible itching which goes with dandruff stops with almost the first application. Substitutes or remedies said to be "just as good" are sometimes offered, but it is better to buy the genuine or iginal germ killer, Newbro's Herpi cide. There is no guesswork about that preparation. A trial isn't neces sary, just buy a bottle and use it. The results are sure to be better than you expect. Newbro's Herpicide in 50c and $1.00 sizes is sold by all dealers who guar antee it to do all that is claimed. If you are not satisfied your money will be refunded".
