These sets consist of dresser scarf and plncush jton cover usually, but glove and hand kerchief cases may be made to matoh and added to them. The scarf is a length of the linen bavins scalloped edges buttonhole stitched with light colored floss, scroll and flower pattern Is embroid ered at eaoh end and at the center of the scarf, on one side. ' A small oblong pincushion Is cov ered with two pieoes of linen, one smaller than the other, as shown In the .picture. These are buttonhole stitched In scallops about the edges and eyelets are worked In them. A soroll and flow er pattern Is embroidered In the small er piece. They are joined by narrow satin ribbon threaded through the eye lets and tied In little bows. Luncheon Set of Silk Muslin Something new In luncheon sets Is made of stiff white silk muslin, very small gilt cord and white and green water color paints. It consists of a centerpiece and twelve dollies to match and Is made in a conventional ized chrysanthemum design. The dollies are small replicas of the cen terpiece. A large circle Is cut from the mus lin for th® centerpiece and a few French knots, of dark yellow embroid ery i.llk, are worked in the center to represent the stamens. Three rows of petals ire outlined on the centerpiece with white paint and the tiny gilt cord Is sewed with- yellow silk thread along the outline of each petal. The petals are crowded a little at one side to allow three light green leaves to be painted In. A little white paint Is brushed in at the point of each petal pad the muslin about the edge trimmed away from them. The dollies are made In the samt way but on a smaller scale. m Rod for Doilies of Cretonne ft A dolly roll makes a pretty gift tor the housewife and is useful to her In more ways than one. It keeps Her dollies fresh and easy to get at. Noth • ing is easier to make, and very few equally pretty gifts cost so Uttle. The rolls are usually made in two „lengths, one for centerpieces and one for dollies. To make one a Strong pasteboard tube, such aB used for mailing is procured. Circular pieces of cretonne are stretched over the ends and pasted down on the roll. A strip of the cretonne as wide as the tube is long is then out off of any length desired. One end of this strip is trimmed in a curve and the other left stral^t. The curved end and sides of the strip are bound with tape. The straight end is pasted to the roll, the cretonne wound once about it and sewed down to form a casing for It. Ribbon ends are sewed to the curved end of cretonne to form ties for fastening it when the dollies have been rolled. • The crettfnne used to make the roll shown In the picture Is a striped pat tern with small flowers scattered over the surface. Dark backgrounds with gay flowers make rolls that do not soil easily. The ribbon used should match the flowers or foliage In U m pattern. MAXIMILIAN ON MEXICO. (From New York Mail.) The Emperor Maximilian was one of e most farsighted men who ever tried to rule Mexico. His vision was so distant that it is said he could see, at the end of the vista of Iiis life, the wall at Qucretaro against which he was destined to be stood up to face tiring squad, it was Maximilian who, fifty years ago, summed up Mexi co s relations to the United States in the following prophetic words: I have arrived at the conclusion, from which 1 will never vary that no government, of whatsoever form, can exist permanently in Mexico which fails to win the good will of the government and people of the United States. Maximilian's words, spoken at Mexico City at the close of our war between the States, might be spoken with still greater meaning by Car ranza in Vera Cruz today. Every phase in the career of the supreme chief of the constitutionalist party ought to have impressed upon his mind the undeniable fact that with out the friendlv co-operation of "the government and people of the United States" his administration is bound to end in failure. And the best evidence of his dependence upon the United States is the fact that lie lias been un able to suppress the bandit Villa and that it has been necessary for the United States to invade Mexican soil to vindicate the inviolability of its own frontiers a,nd the sanctity of the 'ives of its own citizens. In what manner is Carranza ack nowledging his obligation for the past support and his expectation of future favors? By endangering the lives of our so! diers and imperilling the success of our operations in Mexico—the soldiers who are endeavoring to remove the last obstacle to the restoration of peace and the operations which are de signed to make the Carranza govern ment a success. As our soldiers are advancing far tlier into Mexico they are confront cd with an increasing difficult problem of vitualing and supplies—because Carranza declines to place the neces sary railroad facilities at ' their dis posal. "If we had had the use of the Mexi can railroads we would have captured can railroads we would have captured Villa long before this" is the way General Funston summarizes this phase of an extremely unpleasant sit uation. And one result of Carranza's policy of passive obstructiveness is to be seen in the testimony of one of our soldiers on service with a small detachment: Parched corn is all we have had to live on for the past five days. And here is a description of how Carranza's policy has affected the American expedition in general, ; given in a news despach: Most of our soldiers haven't any shoes, as they were quickly worn out by the rough travel, and it is impossible to get a fresh supply because Carranza does not permit the use of the railroad for supplies. Many of the soldiers have lost their mounts, and it is impossible, for the same reason, to get remounts. Some of the troops have to march barefoot or make shift with sandals of hide. But this is not all. The drab line of troopers is stretching out to a dan gerous thinness—and reinforcements cannot be pushed forward in time be cause Carranza will .not allow our men to be transported on the rail roads. And, as if to add insult to injury, comes General Obregon, Carranza s man Friday, with the plain intimation that the American punitive expedition has done its work and that it is time for it to leave Mexico if friendlv rela tions between the two countries are to be maintained. Through all this maze of duplicity, evasion and secret hostility our troops are continuing their task with undiminished courage and energy— but amid suffering and privation which Carranza could have spared them by lifting a finger. What can Carranza be thinking of? Bryan's Dollar Diplomacy. (New York Herald.) Official advices from Managua assert that the Government has formally ap proved the treaty giving to the United Stales an option on the Nicaraguan trans -isthmian canal route and ceding to this country a coaling station in the Bav of Fonseca. In return for these rights the United States is to pav $.1 (10(1,0(10 to Nicaragua. . , In its present form this treaty is, i large measure, the work of Mr. Bryan. It is one of the very few accomplish ments of any value that stand to the redit of his administration of the State Department. True, the fuunda ion was laid during Mr. Knox s ad ministration, but it was left .to Mr, Bryan and the Democratic party to erect upon that foundation an edifice considerably more elaborate than was oringinaily projected. Future visitors to Nicaragua will find emblazoned all over that edifice the mystic words—Poilar Diplomacy Little Moneymaker. "Now. be daddy's own girlie coax d papa, "and take the nice medicine.

(Brooklyn Standard-Union, ReiO There are times when the Colonel, concedcdly one of the sharpest and keenest machine politicians who ever held office, seems to believe he could be elected. That, however, is a common belief among candidates. Nominate a Republican in a strong Democratic district, or a Democrat in a strong Republican district, and he will in all probability accept the •nomination perfunctorily, knowing the ticket must be filled out in some way. In a few days lie will sing a different tune. Meeting with Republican or Democratic friends, as the case may be, he will hear they intend crossing party lines and voting for him. Be fore Iiis candidacy is a week old he will firmly believe he is the one man of the opposition party who can car ry the district and that his' election is sure. He will not wake up until he snowed under on election day. That is the Colonel's case. He knows he was beaten when he attempted to secure a third term four ears ago; he knows the vote of the party he then extemporized has been dwindling yearly ever since: he knows above all things, of the deep-laid rong he did the business men of the country wdien his bolt put a Demo cratic free trade president in the White House, and, finally, he knows of the fierce anger his betrayal of the Republican party aroused, yet he hugs to himself the belief he could be elected on a Republican ticket just because some of his personal friends who are Republicans tell him they will vote for him. Still his withdrawal might be ar with certainty. ranged with some certainty. Heretofore, his has been the rule or-ruin policy. He spoke for himself and consulted only bis own desires when seeking the fulfilment of his ambitious schemes. If his announce ment to the country that he would ithdraw were made through the heads of the so-called Progressive party, of which he is an enrolled mem ber, it would be accorded a confidence it could not command if it were the result of one of the Colonel 's impul ses —impulses which might move him to shift once again before convention time. Another effect is possible. It might lay the foundation for a resuscitation of Theodore Roosevelt's Republican repute and in time, after he had given hearty support to the Republican national ticket, as he un doubtedly would do, make him once more heir to the glorious conditions of Republicanism which he forfeited when he bolted the Republican Na tional Convention in 1912. SOME LITTLE BUG IS GOING TO FIND YOU SOME DAY." In these days of indigestion It is often times a question As to what to eat and what to leave alone; For each microbe and bacillus Has a different way to kill us And in time they always claim us for their own. There are germs of every kind In any food that you can find In the market or upon the bill of fare. Drinking water's just as risky As the so-called deadly whisky. And it's often a mistake to breathe the air. Some little bug is going to find you some day. Some little bug will creep up behind you some day. Then he'll send for his bug friends And all your earthly trouble ends; Some little bug is going to find you some day. The inviting green cucumber Gets most everybody's number, While the green corn has a system all its own. Though a radish seems nutritious, Its behavior is quite vicious, And a doctor will be corning to your home. Eating lobster cooked or plain Is only flirting with ptomaine, While an oyster sometimes has lot to say. But the clams we eat in chowder Make the angels chant the louder, For they know that we'll be with them right away. Some little bug is going to find you some day. Some little bug will creep up behind you some^day. Then he'll get into your gizzard— If you lose him you're a wizard— Some little bug is going to find you some day. 3 Take a slice of nice friend onion And you're tit for Dr. Munyon, Apple duniplins kill you quicker than a train, Chew a cheesy midnight "rabbit" And a grave you'll soon inhabit— Ah, to eat at all is such a foolish game. Eating huckleberry pie Is a pleasing way to die, While sauerkraut brings on soften ing of the brain. When you eat banana fritters Every undertaker titters, And the casket-makers nearly go insane. Some little bug is going to find you some day. *—• Some little bug will creep up behind you some day. With a nervious little quiver He'll give cirrhosis of the liver; Some little bug. is going to find you some day. 4. When cold storage vaults I visit, I can only say what is it Makes poor mortals fill their system with such stuff. Now, for breakfast, prunes are dandy If a stomach pump is handy, And your doctor can be found quite soon eonugh. Eat a plate of fine pigs' knuckles And the head-stone cutter chuckles While the gravedigger makes a note upon his cuff. Eat a lovely red bologna And you will wear a wooden kimona As your relatives start scrapping 'bout your stuff. Some little bug is going to find you. some day, Some little bug will creep, behind you some day. Eating juicy sliced pineapple Makes the sexton dust the chapel; Some little bug is going to find you some day. Ml those crazy foods they mix Will tloat us 'cross the River Styx, Or they'll start us climbing up the Milky Way. A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONDEMNATION RESOLUTION NO. 7, 1916.
