Newspaper Page TextHn theWlight JS J L —— ARREST OF GENERAL REYES dynamite in large quantities was purchased and stores of arms and ammuni tion accumulated. It has been a well-known fact that a plot against Madero has been brewing and that an attack upon Juarez was contemplated. The arrest of Gen. Reyes, who, however, asserts that he is not concerned in the movement, has aroused the Mexican government and troops are being massed to deal with the revolution should it break out. What Mexico chiefly needs is rest and it will be the aim of the United States to head off any rev olution which seeks to establish a base on American soil. MOVER IN A NEW SHIP LINE As a result of H. G. Haugan’s trip to Norway last summer, from which he returned to Chicago recently, the first steamship company to run a line of ships between Norway and the United States was organized. At a banquet of ship owners in Christiania some time ago Mr. Haugan showed so plainly the profits that could be made by such a steamship line as the Nor wegian-American Steamship company, with a capital of $2,700,000, was organ ized. Mr. Haugan’s family always has been active in Norwegian affairs. His brother, H. A. Haughan, former presi dent of the State Bank of Chicago, was made a knight of the Order of St. Olaf, the highest order of Knighthood in Norway, shortly before his death in 1909. The formation of a shipping com pany to take care of the trade be tween the Scandinavian countries and. the United States without the vexa- tious transshipping at an English or German port had been under considera tion for a long time. It needed only the indorsement of Mr. Haugan, whose experience as a railroad official gave his opinion weigh, to make the company a fact. Many of the foremost men in official circles in Norway are financially inter ested in the company. The prime minister of the kingdom, Gunnar Knudsen, and Christian Michaelsen, ex-prime minister, are among the largest stock owners. Mr. Haugan, while not nominally in control, has consented to take charge of the affairs of the new steamship line in this country, and will devote his time largely to this. LATE DOMINICAN PRESIDENT years later, Mrs. Caceres converted the property left by her parents into cash and accompanied her husband to Santo Domingo. The political career of Caceres began when he avenged the death of his father by assassinating President Heureaux on July 28, 1899. He was a partisan of Gen. Jimenez and by killing Heureaux made it possible for Jim enez to obtain the presidency. Later Caceres became vice-president under President Morales and in 1905, when Morales fled the country, Caceres was installed in the presidency. PRESENT VICEROY OF INDIA Lord Hardinge, the present viceroy of India, being the direct representa , tive of the crown in the eastern em- Lplre, with his young and charm ing wife, took rank next to their.ma jesties in the splendid ceremonies and festivities which graced the corona tion celebration at the Delhi Durbar. The whole of his active career has been spent in the diplomatic service, lie was born in 1859, became a for eign office clerk 0n 1880, and three years afterward was appointed third ~ ‘ ?cretary at Madrid. He served five • years in St. Petersburg, to which court he was appointed In 1885. Aft er two years at Constantinople, he was for a time charge d’affaires at Bucharest. He saw further service ( at Cairo and Zanzibar, and was min £ ister at Teheran from 1900 to 1905. I From Teheran he went to Brussels, and from there was appointed viceroy in succession to the Earl of Minto. He went to India with the prestige r of a great name, being a descendant of a former governor general under the * East India company, who was rewarded by a viscounty and it handsome pen • slon for most distinguished services in the Great Sikh war. The arrest by United States Feder al authorities of Gen. Bernardo Reyes, a former member of the Diaz regime in Mexico, on the charge of violating the neutrality laws of the United States has brought prominently be fore the public the efforts which are being made by Mexican refugees in this country to precipitate civil war across the border. Ever since Gen. and President Madero succeeded in ridding Mexico of Diaz and ending the close corporation which stood around him and which had been exploiting the country for its own Interests there has been a conspiracy on. foot to oust Madero and restore the old Diaz regime to power. The center of this conspiracy ap parently has been in El Paso, Tex., while another junta was established in San Antonio, where Gen. Reyes had taken up his quarters and where he was placed under arrest. Soldiers of fortune gathered in these places, The assassination of President Ra mon Caceres of the Dominican Re public by political malcontents in San Domingo city as he was leaving the house of a friend where he had made a call, is the climax to a series of political tragedies with which he had been intimately connected. The first of these occurred in 1884, when Caceres’ father was put to death by the order of President Heureaux be cause of his supposed sympathy with political dissenters. Caceres, then a boy of ten, vowed vengeance. His father left a large estate and, with unlimited means at his disposal, young Caceres came to the United States, where he attended and graduated from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, at Troy, N. Y. Here he met and married Lillian, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hakes, of that city. Upon the death of Mr. and Mrs. Hakes, a few Dutch Cap w\l I I f k , '■,W'X vIM 11/ Ki B SWT \ A 1 ‘ A I X 1 1 < x •. \ xSMHL; A M ' ^*■3oß^ jy ifOMlgagA*.

This quaint Dutch cap is made of fine mesh net, embroidered ii Delft blue. The roses at the ears have no foliage, but on the left side there are ribbon pendants to match in color. DESIGN FOR FACE CLOTH BAG Dainty Woman Will Be Careful to Have Separate Receptacle for This Most Necessary Utensil. The absolutely dainty girl is espe cially careful of her face cloth. She uses it but one day, and in order that it may not acumulate germs and other Impurities she is particular to keep it out of the 'way of them —in a bag. This bag, like all of the other toilet belongings of the dainty girl, is a fetching affair of cretonne, shaped like a correspondence card envelope and about twice the size of such a recep tacle. To make one of these face cloth bags, cut a paper pattern of a corre spondence envelope, enlarge it doubly and lay it upon a piece of cretonne. Then cut a similar shape from rubber ized tissue cloth, place the edges of the two materials together, bind them with ribbon and join three of the points together under a fancy button, leaving the fourth edge for the flap, whose point should be equipped with a loop large enough to go over the button. The rubber lined envelope is really the only sanitary receptacle for a face cloth, and it is the only one in which a damp rag can be placed safely. Even this should not be permitted to become water soaked, as it inevitably will do unless frequently spread out flat and hung in the sun. SMART BIG COATS QB ob ^■l Though much exaggerated in details of trimming, the big costs of contrast ing colors are smart and fetching. These coats are worn over simple lit tle trotteur frocks of mohair or serge in the mornings, though they are not considered correct for ceremonious afternoon wear. This coat is built of good brt>wn duo face cloth, having a reverse in plaided effect. The trim mings of this plaid fabric, the big but tons with wooden rims and the huge patch pockets on the outer side of the cos give the simply cut garment great style and snap. LACE CAPS NOW THE FAD Use for Stored Away Pretty Laces Has Been Found—Most Ac ceptable Presents. For a new purpose girls are turning out their stores of pretty laces and looking them over or buying silk net and allover lace remnants, to say noth ing of Cluny and Mechlin edges. They are making caps. And not for any mythical grandmamma, either. It is the dainty coiffure of the bonnie maid who makes it that is to be crowned with this charming bit of vanity. If she has learned the art of making fine and always new needle point lace it is probably a theater cap that she is fashioning of the black silk lace braids which one sees her tack ing deftly to a stamped pattern. When finished it will be drawn up ■with a cord of the palest pink tea rose silk, and on the left side will be a spray of rosebuds of the same delicate shade, unless, indeed, she is a bru nette, in which case the cap may have the completing touches of deep, clear, cardinal cord or ribbons and blossoms. Another girl is making her friends the most delightful little morning or boudoir caps. These are usually of allover lace, like the quaint mob caps of Colonial times, but with frills turn ing up and more airy little frills turn ing down against the wearer’s soft hair, and these, too, are of lace. For a bride of tomorrow she is setting lov ing stitches in a most coquettish little effair to be worn at breakfast, adorn ed with a rose of soft, lustrous moon light blue satin, and with this will go a demure little reticule of the same shimmery satin to be fastened at the belt of the young amateur housewife. Waist With Jacket Effect. One of the smartest ready-to-wear waists in a dark tone with a vivid color in striking contrast is navy blue satin with cardinal red satin The waist is made with a jacket effect that has sharp open corner at a high waist line, the front being filled with a vest of the red satin. This dark blue jack et has a low round neck, above •which there is another round neck of red sat in, and the yoke and stock are of white lace. There is a red lapel over a ja bot of white lace, and the short blue sleeves have unders of the red. Pearl buttons and red buttonhole effects are the only trimming. Straight Line Ccats. There is little chance of novelty in the cut of long heavy coats made of double-faced fabrics, says the Dry goods Economist, as the material does not lend itself favorably to fancy out line; therefore, the dominant style is the straight line, full-length cut with large collars, revera and cuffs, with low left-side fastening. The buttons are very large and usually have a sug gestion of color in harmony with the trimming effects of the coat Gloves Loosened. Kid gloves that are too tight should be folded for a short time in a piece of woolen cloth that has been dipped in hot water and wrung as dry as pos sible. When the gloves have become warm and damp, they can easily be drawn on the hands. Gloves that have shrunk in cleaning respond readily to this treatment Holiday Bags. Many of the fancy work bags ex hibited now in preparation for the holidays have their draw strings pul) up through fancy rings of brass or cel luloid. These rings can be bought in all the dainty colors at the notiox counters. Bible The Word $ God . By Rev. Barry B. Hall, Pastor of Temple Baptist Church, Min neapolis, Minnesota. All that comes from God must be perfect, complete. No so. Both the world and man came from God, and neither is perfect or complete. So the Bible came from God, although parts of it are crude and imperfect. The Bible, like all other things, is the result of development and growth. The patriarchs were in God’s school and their ethical code was not com pleted until Christ came and fulfilled (completed) it. Certainly an ethical code allowing polygamy,and ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’ is crude and imperfect. But since Jesus completed that code no man has been able either to add to or take from it. It is the only code of ethics man has ever known that stands un changed and unchangeable throughout the ages. There are but two things in the visible world that do not die —an im mortal soul and God’s word. The Bible is a living thing. The spirit of se cession is dead, but the spirit of union still lives. So all other ethical codes are either dead or dying, but the words of Jesus, which are increasingly exercising a greater influence over the destiny of both men and nations. Un like all other books, it never becomes obsolete. All other books but the Bible which are a few hundred years old are obsolete and out of date. The Bible never grows old; it never dies. It is a living, growing thing. It grows on one; the rereading of familiar pas sages gives new light, and impresses one with the greatness of the book. The more one studies it with a rever ent spirit the more its greatness looms up before him, and as his capa city to see more truth grows, the more truth he finds in the word. Ev ery combination of social conditions only draws out of the Word new truth and more light. All other books flourish best in the language -in which they were written, but the Bible flows freely into all molds and lends itself with freedom to every language and dialect. It alone is adapted to all classes and con ditions of people. It is a discoverer of the human heart, and reveals all men to themselves. It reveals to all races of men their motives, needs and sins. An educated Hindu, on hearing a passage read from the word. said. “That Book exactly describes us Indi ans.” The Bible is indestructible, it sur vives all attempts to destroy it Yet it is hated as no other book because it condemns man and claims authority over him. Rome tried to burn it, and some of the greatest scholars of all the ages have tried to destroy it, but both alike miserably failed. Thomas Paine thought his “Age of Reason” would put the Bible out of print in fifty years, and thousands thought that Darwin’s “Descent of Man” had destroyed it at one stroke, but they were deceived. Darwin really dis covered nothing new, for both Moses and Chris, were Theistic evoluntion ists. Evolution does not destroy the idea of a Creator; it only gives the Creator’s method of creation. The Bible stands unapproached as a life-giving book. It awakens dead nations and gives them new life. Christian nations, since the Bible was opened in the sixteenth century, have become responsible for all the world’s advancement in science, literature, in vention, commerce and discovery. When the open Bible came into Japan she awoke, received new life, arose and defeated Russia, a land without an open Bible. The open Bible has gone into China, and she is at this moment giving birth to a new republic. Laboring men, once but beasts of burden, under the Influence of an open Bible, have ceased to be beasts of bur den and have come to be men. The Bible Is also a life-transforming book. It revolutionizes the lives of both na tions and men. W’hen Titus took Je rusalem, 1,100,000 of the Jewish peo pie were put to the sword, many thou sands were sold into slavery, and thousands were sold to make sport by being butchered or torn into pieces in the arena. When America took Cu ba and the Philippines she banished yellow fever from the island and es tablished a republic for the people, and in one ship she sent 600 teach ers to the Philippines. Certainly a marvelous transformation. And It is also true of the individual; no man can habitually read the book with a reverent spirit without becoming a nobler, a truer and a better man. Is the Bible the word of God* Have the civilizations of earth ever produced a book that could compare with it; has any other book ever ex ercised such an Influence over the na tions of earth: has any other book ever transformed the lives of men as the Bible has; is any other book a liv ing book and indestructible as the Bible is? If this book is a book the like of which the civilizations of earth have not and cannot produce, then it was not produced by man alone, and therefore It must be the word of God. given in earthen vessels, to be sure, but the word of God.

No Jury. “Didn’t you give that man a jury trial?” “Look here,” replied Broncho Bob, “there ain’t a big lot o' men in this settlement. We couldn't possibly git twelve of ’em together without start in’ a fatal argument about somethin* that had nothin’ whatever to do with the case.” —Washington Star. The Difference. "John M. Harlan,” said a Chicago lawyer, in a eulogy of the late Su preme court justice, “had away of pointing an observation with a story. Once he wanted to rebuke a man for exaggeration, so he said he was as bad as a Pittsburg millionaire who was being interviewed by a New York reporter. “ ‘Where, sir, were you born?’ the reporter, as he sharpened his pencil, asked. “ ‘I was born in Pittsburg,’ said the millionaire. “ ‘And when did you first —er —see the light of day?” “ ‘W’hen I was nine,’ the millionaire replied. ‘My people then moved to Philadelphia.’ ” HIS VOCATION. 1 — "I suppose you’ll be an agricultur ist when you grow up?” "No’m. I’m jest goin’ to work on this farm, that’s all.” Somewhat Inconsistent. The young woman had spent a busy day. She had browbeaten fourteen sales-people, bullyragged a shop walker, argued victoriously with a milliner, laid down the law to a mod iste, nipped in the bud a taxi chauf feur’s attempt to overcharge her, made a street-car conductor stop the car in the middle of a non-stop run for her, discharged her maid and en gaged another, and otherwise refused to allow herself to b° imposed upon. Yet she did not smile that evening w’hen a young man begged: “Let me be your protector through life!” THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to Have. “A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. “I had been ill and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostra tion for three long months after th® birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widow’s advice brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In 2 months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so rapidly, and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change. "My 4-year-old boy had eczema very bad last spring and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cros^ and peevish. I put him on a diet or Grape- Nuts, which he relished at once. He Improved from the beginning, the ec zema disappeared and now he is fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft, clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. I will willingly answer all inquiries.
