It isn't always taat the “first citizen” is also the “best c«-«zen.” And still more rarely are they both a woman—the ' same woman. New Orleans has long | crowned one of her women the “best ’ and “first” citizen, and the men and boys are as enthusiastic in their hom age as are the women and girls. To the world she is Miss Sophie Wright, angel of mercy and light; to New Orleans she is Saint Sophie. She was born in hopeless poverty the year after the Civil war. Her childhood days were days of physical pain and suffer ing. She was a cripple from birth. When 14, to help support her mother, she began teaching a school of girls in her mother’s cottage. Her school for girls grew, and then sne started the first night school in New Orleans; start ed it right in her own home, and con ducted it after spending the day teach ing her girls school, a class in the nor mal, and while she herself was a stu dent at the normal. Her night school for men and women, and ...e boys and girls who work dur ing the day, has prospered, and now has over 1,700 “pupils.” ao one who can pay for tuition is accepted, for it is Miss Wright s intention to provide in struction for only those who are too ; poor to buy books and pay teachers. During all the years of the upbuild j ing of her schools M.ss Wright had to 'contend with the financial difficulties un iassisted, until recently wealthy citizens ' have come to her aid with endowments. felt like I already knew her, and she is just ;ik ®w«*pt ss any of them.

Murdock Brokerage Co., Birmingham. Ala. Gentlemen: When a cooking school was conducted in this city a few weeks ago by an afternoon newspaper I believed the ob ject was to teach the people not only the proper and most economical way to cook, hut to enlighten the people as to the most healthful and economical material to use with a view to producing the best results. Accordingly when the contest for the best beaten bis cuit was announced I determined to compete. Not knowing that the contest, or cooking school, was a blind advertise ment in the interest of any particular manufacturer I pur chased the most healthful material, principle of which was the shortening. I baked my biscuit, submitted them for the inspection of the judges retained by the newspaper in the interest of the manufacturer of a certain shortening, and won the first prize. Then, to my surprise, I discovered that the contest was hemmed in by conditions. These conditions specified the use of a shortening made by the manufacturer who was paying the newspaper to conduct this cooking school. In stead of using that shortening I had used Snowdrift Hogless Lard, manufactured by The Southern Cotton Oil Company, which I knew from long experience to be the best and the most healthful shortening on the market. . My use of this shortening was through ignorance of the conditions, and a certain knowledge that the best results at the least expense could be produced with Snowdrift. The fact that my biscuit were awarded first prize bears out my opinion. That is what I thought the cooking school hoped to accomplish. As soon as I learned the conditions of the contest I of course declined to accept the prize even though my biscuit had been pronounced the best. However, I think you, as brokers for Snowdrift Hogless Lard, the best shortening on the market, will be interested to know’ that judges retained in the interest of a competitive manufacturer, awarded the prize to biscuit baked with Snowdrift. Yours very truly, (Signed) Mrs. Harry Andrews 1008 South 20th Street. A Partisan Cooking School, similar to this, was conducted in Atlanta recently ; ‘ ' a Her Hat Is Always on Straight New York Tribune. “How do you manage to keep your hat on so straight?" demanded a nervous looking woman of her friend. “You don’t stop at every other plate glass win dow to adjust it and yet it never gets awry. How do you manage? Mine has all the trimming on one side, and it keeps slipping down over that ear. I feel it falling, falling and in spite of six hatpins it keeps on falling, until it drives me crazy.” The other woman smiled serenely. "I have a fine scheme," she said. “I sew little lead weights in under the hat brim on the untrimmed side and those bal ance the weight of the trimming on the other side, and keep the two sides even, so that one cannot pull the other down. You can get the leads at any dry goods store. They are sold usually for weights in the bottom of tailored coats. I have them in all my hats now, and it is so comforting not to have to worry over whether my hat Is on straight or not.” VIOLIN \JJHfree vii A In Vs*s This Is « fine, banil- JIJ jjj »om e. clear tone, good Ila JFiifcOMMa alxe Violin of highly nol iftbed. beautiful wood, Isl gujL ''*• ebony finished pegs, ftn- I w ger board and tall piece.

The Real Way to Enjoy Pie Chicago News Victor L. Berger, the Socialist leader who was recently elected to congress from the Fifth Wisconsin district, is known for the ex treme simplicity of his tastes. In a visit to Chicago some time ago Mr. Berger eclipsed the feat of John Jacobson, of Minnesota, who achieved fame during his race for the governorsbop against the late Governor John A. Johnson two years ago. by eating his pie with a knife. Berger, who had come from a Socialist meeting in company with several friends, stopped at a downtown dairy luncheon. The Socialist leader ordered a sandwich, a piece of pie and a cup of coffee. When the turn of the bit of pastry came Berger said to his companions: ‘•There Is only one real way to enjoy a piece of pie. Os course, when I am home Mrs. Berger Insists that the fork, prescribed hy etiquette, be used, but I prefer to eat It as I did In the days when I was a lad.” And suiting the action to his words, the “founder of Socialism In America’’ lifted the piece of pie from his plate and poising it tn his hand, ate it. Berger, during the administration of the Socialists in Milwaukee, hy vlrtne of his leader ship on the floor of the council, has been dubbed the exar of Milwaukee. His dominat ing personality was shown to advantage one night rccentlr during a session of the Mil waukee board of education, of which Mrs. Perger is a member. Some problem of school administration was occupying the attention of the body, and the meeting continued until well toward midnight. Mr. Berger, who had arrived about 0 o’clock to escort Mrs. Berger home, grew restless as the monotonous session dragged on. At last he thought of a plan. Rising fn the midst of the andlence. Mr. Borger addressed the chair man and said: • “Excuse me. ladles and gentlemen, hut one member of thia board can remain here no longer. 1 therefore suggest that She either move for an adjournment or Pave her proxy to vote with a fellow member.” Mrs. Berger smiled, asked the chairman to bo excused and left the room with her hus band.
