.. Royal B tl o Powder t 2 r - : ...... . .... - - . .,. . ; CONCERNING PROPOSALS. 1 Imparts Hcalthf ulness to the Food by Royal Baking Powder "possesses peculiar quali ties not found in other leavening agents, which arise from the superior ' fitness,purity and health fulness of its ingredients. Royal Baking Powder leavens the food perfectly its own inherent power without changing or impairing any of the elements of the flour. Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls and muffins, and the delicious hot griddle-cakes raised by the Royal Baking Powder are wholesome arid digestible, and may be eaten without distress, even by persons of delicate digestion. v : Alum baking powders are low priced, as alum costs but . twocents a pound ; but alum is a corrosive poison and lenders thlibaking powder dangerous to use in food. OO .ROYAL BAKINa POWDEH CO., NEW YORK.. A Modern Instanoe. ' The wonderful advance made In the science of farming during the laBt few years is one of the best examples of American progressiveness. : A little In cident recounted by the Ashtabula (Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic One evening, a short time ago, a society in Jefferson needed a gallon of cream. The committee called up by telephone the proprietors of a milk farm two miles north of the town, and asked If they could furnish it. The reply was that they could as soon as milking was done. In SO minutes from the time the call was made, the cream was deliv ered. The milk had been drawn from the cow, put into a separator, the cream extracted and sent to town by a man pn a bicycle. A few years ago the committee would have had to send a boy in the afternoon, "yesterday's milk," would have had to be skimmed, and if the boy had not treed too many chipmunoks on the way, he might have got back in time for the festival A NEW FEATURE In the Reek Island Personally Con- - ducted Weekly Kxourslons. Always mindful of the comfort of their patrons, the Great Rock Island route has again come to the front with a new feature in connection with their popular personally' conducted weekly excursions. All through ' tourist oars on their personally conducted ' excur sions are now provided with the illus trated weekly periodicals, viz.: Life, Puck. Judire. Leslie's, Harper's and Illustrated London News, fresh each week, for the free use of their patrons They are placed in substanital binders, properly marked witn name 01 period oal. etc. This is a distinctive feature of the Bock Island tourist excursions, and will no doubt be much appreciated by the traveling public.

But Nineveh and Babylon were mere mounds of earth and rubbish when China was great, and to this date the civilization and life of the empire is the wonder of the world. Should Women Smoke. X I have no earthly objection to women smoking; only, if they do smoke, they should smoke seriously. Most 01 mem just fool a: little with a cigarette. Now, that scarcely amounts to smoking at all. If they really mean it, , let them take to cigars and pipes. I know a dignified old lady, a Polish countess what is her name? oh, well, Thing- amojlsky it ends in "inky," anyhow and I respect that woman. Bhe gen uinely smokes, and no mistake about it. There is no playing tnere. bne looks on it as a sacred duty. She has a long pipe with a wooden stem and the bark on, and a fine big bowl a regular man's pipe. When she-was visiting me, she just loaded up ana smoked, and loaded up and smoked, and loaded up and smoked again. ; She meant business. I know another lady who has a long Turkish pipe, and she, too. means business. If women are ever to be genuine smokers, that is the way they must go to.work. Mark Twain. In Germany the capital for carrying on the pawnshops by the municipal au thorities is derived either from the city treasury or the city savings bank, which is usually operated in connec tion with the pawnshops. The articles offered In pawn are valued by sworn appraisers. J " HOW TO TRAVEL.

In selecting youi route to the East you cannot afford to overlook the ad vantages and comforts offered by the Bio Grande Western Railway in con ection with the Denver & Bio Grande and Colorado Midland railroads. It is the only transcontinental line passing directly through "Salt Lake City, and In additiou to the glimpse it affords of the Temple city, the Great Salt Lake, the salt palace, and the picturesque Utah valley, it offers choice of six dis tinct routes to the East and the most maenifioent scenery in the world. A double daily train service and through Pullman palace and ordinary sleeping cars, free reclining chair ' cars and a perfect dining car service are now in operation Yia these lines.

His pair of chickens, he thinks, are quite unique, for they are twins, five weeks old, and it is said that two chickens born from a single egg have never before been proved to live beyond eight days. The buff brahma hen laid rather a large egg, but no one thought much about it until one morning the farmer saw two bills instead of one trying to break out of the shell. He quickly removed the egg to the kitchen, extricated the twin chicks, wrapped them in cotton batting and placed them in the oven. For three weeks the chickens were kept in doors on a diet of malted milk and brandy dropped down their throats with a medicine dropper. The twins are now hale and hearty and run about the yard as vig orously as anv of their comrades. ' One peculiarity, however, distinguishes them from their mates. They are ex I elusive little aristocrats and neither ' of them will associate with any other chicken except his twin. Aid. Chase approves a suggestion re cently made by Comptroller Wolf for a solution of the problem of the rate of fare to be charged by the Milwaukee Electrio Bailway and Light Company. Mr. Wolf suggested that a 4-cent fare be charged for a single trip without transfer 'privileges, and that a 5-cent fare be charged when the passenger de sired a transfer. This plan has been adopted in Cleveland. .

I asked, thinking at the same time that although he had been Jack's best man when we were married he need not be quite so fam iliar with Jack's own particular arm chair. I never like to see any one at home In Jack's chair, because, If I am left a widow, I mean to keep it sacred to Jack's memory. "A fellow Isn't allowed to see Baby Jones alone for five minutes." "Why do you want to see her alone?" I said, for the fifth Jones girl, in my mind, was still a child. Perhaps this was due to the fact that she is called "Baby," but Jack says It's because she's not allowed to have her 17th birthday until the two eldest girls are "off." Mamma Jones may be right; more than four girls out at one time Is a great responsibility. Bailey Junior, who had retained the suffix "Junior" ever since he went to school with his eldest brother, looked at me In surprise. "Why do I want to see her alone?" he replied; "because I want to propose, of course; a fellow can't propose with an audience." "You propose!" I echoed. "Propose to Baby Jones!'? , v -"And pray why shouldn't I?" be ask ed. "Anything the matter with me?" He pulled down his coat and stuck out hia brown riding boots on my new hearth rug. Bailey Junior prided him. self on his bootmaker. . "I can afford to keep a wife; Jack's married." "O, but Jack's quite different," I said. "Any one can "see in a moment that Jack's different " Besides, you'll never get the chance," I continued, remem bering Mamma Jones' theory. ; "Why the deuce not?",. ; "Because the four others have to go off first, and they must go In proper oh der. Jack says so." : "What's Jack got to do with It?" "O, nothing," I answered; "but Jack's so clever; he ' always sees through things." . "Why have the others got to go 'off first?" Bailey. Junior asked. "Baby's marriage hasn't anything to do with the others." - , .. "Oh. ves. It has: you don't under stand." ' " ' - ' "No, I don't; and I'm hanged if any one else does. Why can't they begin marrying from the other end?" "Because If the county knows that Baby's old enough to marry, that would make the others Just too old, don't you see? , It's a point of honor with the Baby to remain-under 17 till the eld est girl's off." - - "Phew I" said Bailey Junior, "now I j see; that's why she's so closely guarded and why the eldest girl Is always thrown In my way; but I won't have her, I will tell you. : No. Mamma Jones In the world will make me marry the eldest; none of your serving for Rachel business for me." "That's right," I said, "but you'll have to wait for Baby until some other fellow does want the others." "O, Lord"" he exclaimed, In a tone or voice which was scarcely complimen tary to the eldest Miss Jones; "and I sail for India this day week." "I'm awfully sorry," I said; "but that's the principle and code of honor in the Jones family. You can't pick out the best and leave Mamma Jones sad dled for life with the plain ones." - Bailey Junior was silent, and I tried my best to think of some plan to help him out of his difficulty. It was of no use to suggest-asking Baby Jones to spend the day with me and letting Bailey Junior meet her here, for the Jones girls never went about singly; they hadn't enough friends to go all round, so that If you asked one to tea two always came. They were such a devoted family. ... : .,,:.' :. "Dear little girl," he said,. "sacrificed to her elder sisters. She'll be thirty before she gets her bair up at that rate. I wonder what her age really is?" V : "She's probahly got mixed herself," I said: "but Isn't it up yet? It will be arettins auite worn out." "It's In a sort of... maidenly plait," Bailey Junior said, reflectively, "awful ly becoming, don't you know, but -" "But It's time she wore quite long dresses, and put It right up, Isn't It A big girl old enough to be married In short skirts. JacK thinks it noma." "I think they're lovely," Bailey Junior answered, "so arched and slen- der; Just think of the eldest girl's." ; "0, no one does," I said; "she was put into long skirts before she left the nursery, and she was never allowed to play lawn tennis." 'i : . Bailey Junior's furlough was up, and he went back to India without having proposed to Baby Jones.' I met her six weeks later, and she told me she had hd a letter from him asking her to marrv him. She seemed much, aston lshed that he should want to marry her and not her eldest sister. The Joneses are not an Imaginative family, and such an unconventional proceeding had not suggested Itself to the youngest of the family, "Poor old Bailey!" I said. "He sat for an' hour and a half talking to Bel la" that Is the eldest girl's name "the day he went to say good-by, hop ing that you would come In; he was determined to propose to you before he sailed." Rnbv Jones opened her eyes wide, "Did he really? But he ought to have known that mamma said he was marry Bella. I was sent out to do some shopping, and the others staid in their rooms and said they were out. 1 She took Bailey Junior's letter and opened It '. I must ask mamma," she said, "for the poor fellow seems quite anxious, and he's In such a hurry. He wants me to wire back yes or no. He needn't be so Impatient when it's only me be wants' . Baby," I said coaxlngly, "don't ask your mother until you nave sent tne wire. - Mothers don't always under stand these things." . Then I turned and left her reading the letter slowly to herself. "Bella will be awfully cross," I heard her murmur; "perhaps he has an elder brother who wouldn't mind marrying Bella." -' . . v.:.V :..:.,; By the same post next evening I re ceived two letters. The one was from Bailey Junior, asking me to plead his cause with Baby Jones. It was an ar dent romantic letter, showing a vast Imagination and a limited understand ing of the character of his future wife, and the other was from Baby Jones. It was not- so romantic, but Jack says, it Is full of common sense, and charac teristic of the Jones family. It ran thus: "Wired back yes. But It cost me thirty shillings!"
