How Governor Hogg was Once Tricked
T was very seldom that any po-
1 litical opponent of the late Gov.
Jim Hogg, the far-famed Texas states-
man, ever took a trick from- that wily
gentleman, and yet I remember an oc-
casion where a slick Republican best-
ed him,” said Capt. George D. Canby
of Galveston the other day.
“They were having a joint debate,
and Hogg was denouncing the Re-
publicans for their policy of absorbing
the Philippines. He poured in the hot
shot, and the long-haired Texans gave
vent to their approval by shrieks and
vociferous yells. He said he knew his
honorable opponent would attempt to
defend his party when it came his
turn to speak. The audience was
then and there warned that his op-
ponent- was entirely ignorant of. the
subject—so ignorant that he could not
name ten out of the thousand or more
islands constituting the Philippine
archipelago. Hogg "repeated the as-
sertion and challenged his opponent to
give the names of any ten of the whole
group.
“All this time the Republican had
been doing some quick thinking. He
did not, as a matter of f^,ct, know the
name of a single island in the Philip-
pines, except, perhaps, Luzon, but he
was also satisfied that Jim Hogg was
no whit better informed. At that time
the conquest of the Philippines was
new and hardly anybody was enlight-
ened regarding them. Thinking this
over, our Republican orator had an in-
spiration. He didn’t know the names,
but neither did his challenger, and
therefore, a bluff might go. The names
of the islands were, unquestionably
Spanish. What was to hinder him
from enumerating the names of cer-
tain brands of imported cigars that
came ready to memory?;'
Thus it was that when his turn,
came to speak he. met the defi of hjs
foe with absolute serenity. Governor
Hogg was the most astonished man in
the big audience, while he listened to
the other man rattle off, not ten, but
twenty, fine-sounding Spanish words
which were given as names of islands,
but were in reality only brands of
cigars. Being a fair and honest citi-
zen, when the speaker finished, the
governor arose, and, making a courtly
bow, apologized for his mistake. T
am sorry to have misrepresented my
frieiid,’ said Hogg. ‘He has far more
knowledge of the (Philippines than I
supposed, and I ask his pardon.'”
Starving Natives of Kiangsu Elat Bark
JJOUR men dead of starvation in 55
I homes visited, only one family in
eight with any rice or grain, the rest
living on sweet potato leaves, carrot
tops and elm bark, and four months
yet to harvest—-such is the report of
Earl H. Cressy, who was sent by the
Central China relief committee to as-
certain present conditions in a portion
of the famine area. His report in part
is as follows:
“It was thought best to investigate
as, closely as possible a limited area
which might be taken as typical, and
for this purpose the township of Lupi
was selected. It is 55 li north by
east from Esingkiangpu in the north-
ern part of the province of Kiangsu.
“The method followed was to as-
semble the family and count and ques-
tion them, and then thoroughly to ex-
amine every part of the house, look-
ing into the cooking vessels on the
to see what was in preparation,
and then using an electric flashlight to
go through all baskets, jars and boxes
where food was likely to be kept
These were all country people, who
seldom have money on hand, sd tha
supply of food actually on the prem-
ises is a good indication of their con-
dition.
“A straw stack indicates that there
has been a crop. I found straw in
four yards—one in thirteen. Grain
was found in only seven houses out
of fifty-five, and in no place over a
peck of it.
About one out of every three were
eating elm bark, which they prepare
by reducing it to a fine sawdust and
then making it into cakes.
Cat Warns Man of Burglar’s Presence
A REMARKABLE tomcat belonging
A:to Joseph Brown, propprietor of a
small merchandise store, routed a
burglar from the place early one
morning recently after a novel per-
formance which proved the cat
Sto be possessed of more than ordi-
nary feline intelligence. The robber
carried away about $15 worth of
goods, but the proprietor considers
himself fortunate, at that, and gives
all the credit to “Tom.” ‘
Mr. Brown, his wife and several chil-
dren live in the adjoining dwelling.
They retired before midnight, and about
[half-past three the next morning, when
fell the occupants were asleep," some-
body cut several slats out of a shutter
at the rear of the house and climbed
through v the window. The cat was
downstairs and heard the noise. It
made several trips upstairs, mewing
and scratching at its master’s bed-
spread until it awakened him. Mr.
Brown hesitated for a while, but
finally descended the stall’s with a
loaded revolver, but the robber had
fled through a side door opening on V
street.
“The cat jumped up on my bed and
awoke me,” said Mr. Brawn. “It
mewed and scratched, bujt at first I
paid little attention to it and dozed off
again. The cat had gone downstairs,
but soon came back and sprang on the
bed again and went on terribly. Still
I *did not realize what had occurred.
Tom made another trip downstairs,
and came running right back, mak-
ing more ‘fuss’ than before, and I then
‘tumbled.’
; “I told my wife there must be some-
body in the house. Then I got up and
went downstairs.”
Society Girls in “First Aid” Work

A ticipation in the Easter season fol-
lowing, many of Washington’s society
(young women have taken up “first aid”
work.
Miss Helen Taft, who is practical
above all things else, has joined a
class of “first aid” recently organized
as a sort of branch of the National
Red Cross, the purpose of which is to
teach these young persons emergency
tactics. In fact, there are two classes,
me of which meets on Tuesdays in the
Armory dispensary and another on
Wednesdays in the home of Mr. and
Mrs Thomas T. Gaff. Maj. Matthew A.
Dulaney, U. S. A. mqdical corps, Mrs.
Taft’s physician, is instructing the
Tuesday class, and Dr. Jung has the
Wednesday meetings in hand.
Many of the girls have become deep-
ly interested in Red Gross work, par-
ticularly the emergency field, and some
have gone so far as to pledge their
services as nurses should they be
needed. Miss Laura Merriam hastold
her friends that if a war in which the

classes. Others who are learning how
to make bandages and adjust them ac-
cording to rules of medical science in-
clude Miss Dorothy Williams, Miss

BEST KITCHEN FLOOR
80UTHERN PINE HAS MUCH TO
RECOMMEND IT.
Stained and Oiled This Wood Offers
Surface That Wears Well and Is
Kept Clean With Little
Labor.
If you must have hardwood, avoid
white ash, which splinters and turns
gray. Maple has many admirers for
its hard whiteness, but requires al-
most daily scrubbing to maintain that
whiteness, and varnish wears off seem-
ingly overnight. Red oak has a rich
tone and withstands use without
screaming for the daily scrubbing
brush.
My own preference, says Maude E.
Hymers in Farm and Home, is for
southern pine, stained and oiled (nev-
er varnished), since the hard wear of
a kitchen keeps it constantly scarred,
and varnish cannot be renewed in
spots without hawing a patchy look.
The only remedy is to remove it and
apply a new coat, but varnish re-
mover is both expensive and labori-
ous to apply. Paint is open to sim-
ilar objections, with the possible ex-
ception that it “patches” better.
Possibly the most permanent stain
for pine is also one of the most inex-
pensive, consisting only of perman-
ganate of potash. This can be pur-
chased at any drug store, and needs
only to be mixed with water, in the
proportion of one-quarter ounce to a
quart of water. Have floor thorough-
ly clean and dry and apply the mix-
ture with a brush, freely and evenly.
If &r very dark shade is desired, make
two applications, but the addition of
the oil makes it dark enough for
most tastes.
When thoroughly dry, oil with
burnt linseed oil, heated, or an emul-
sion of beeswax and turpentine. The
former, is quicker to apply, needing
simply two soft cloths, one to apply
it, the other to wipe away the super-
fluous oil. The latter, however, gives
a higher polish and may be rubbed
to a beautiful luster. Either finish
will repel grease spots.
In applying the permanganate of
potash do not be alarmed if at first
your floor takes on -an undesirable
magenta color; this will subside. al-
most immediately, changing to a dark,
rich brown, a genuine Havana stain,
utterly impervious to water.
To Stain White Kid Black.
Simple treatment with solution of
iron sulphate or copperas will dye
leather black. Acetate of iron may
also be used with advantage. The
leather might first be mordanted with
a solution of logwood extract diluted
with a little alcohol, applied several
times fill the deepest tint is obtained,
also is a stain used for coloring white
kid black. It should be applied with
a brush, the kid held on a form to
keep its shape, and the leather should
be rubbed with a soft cloth while dry-
ing to soften the fibre. Any of these
stains applied thoroughly to give the
darkest tint will blacken light leather
articles sufficiently to prolong their1
service, though, of course, failing to
achieve results entirely like the new
^ticle.
To Cleans© Feathers.
To cl§an feathers from their ow*.
animal oil, steep them in a bath of
one gallon of water mixed with one
pound of lime; stir the mass well to
expose all evenly to the purifying
agents, then pour off the water, and
give the feathers several good rins-
ings in clear cold water. To clean
feathers from dust or dirt simply
wash them in a bath of hot soap-suds
and rinse in hot water. To free them
from any taint boil them in a loose
porous case, using a little ammonia and
dissolved soap in the water. Rinse
freely in hot water and dry in a cur-
rent of air in the sack in which they
vere cleansed.
Hints for the Farmer's Wife.
To keep celery fresh wrap the stalkr
in a cloth, wet in cold water and plac*
in a cold place on the .ice.
Biting off the thread when sewing,
which is a habit with many, scrapes
the enamel from the teeth and ex-
poses the nerve, causes suffering, a
visit to the dentist
To remove scratches on furniture
rub with a cloth dipped in boiled
linseed oil.
Crisp celery served with cold meat
is always, appreciated and is a fine
nerve tonic.
Daisy Luncheon; Meat.
Take any cold meat—you may use
two kinds if you wish—and mined
fine. Add enough good stock to moist-'
en, and season to taste. You should
have about thrpe cups.
Take three hard-boiled eggs, place
one endwise in the bottom of a mold
and pack meat firmly around it until
it is nearly covered; then place the
next egg and pack thq meat around,
and so on until your mold Is full. (I
use a round mold.) Be sure to place
the eggs on end.
