Throughout tlie TTnited oiaL'S, as everybody has come to there hav espriing up in the nast decad 1 andicraft socie ties, aiuis and practices, as a rule, from similar reawakening of interest in hand work that has taken place in Great Britain and other countries of the world. What Gie average Imsy man k.nows about this movement is, probably, tli.u it is connected with tlu' ttachinas and preachings of John Ituskin, wh.o wrote elocpient- ly about Tnnier's and of William Morris, poet and craftsman, who new ways of rtiliziiig oM of printing, and who bi nted familiar chair that goes hi.s rinme.

This reviv.il of rural industries is an interesting pliasfi of the handicraft movement.

Along witii it, and more important, perhaps, in an cconcmic sense, is the existence in our cities of a considerable body of craftsmen who work in ca-operation with architects, painters and sculptors. Men engaged in the practice of fine arts have long complained that there are now, because of the disapiiearance of the apprentice system, very few good M'orknien competent 1o assist the artist in the execution of his designs. Many eminent American artists have interested tluunselves in encouraging the work of craftsmen who, however they make their as amateurs, are likely to become well trained crartsmen, capable of executing in wood, textiles or other materials, the beautiful details and accessories for which the plans of our better archPects call and for which American wealth stands ready to pay. Manv former pupils of American and European art schools fading to be iiiaced in the precarious professions of ixiiiiiIng and sculpture, discover that a demand exists for handwork which the architects may use in preference to the more mechanical and mnchine-made pro ducts, with which he must otherwise satisfy his clients. Hence have grown potteries.

So much has been accomplished within a few years, though more, of coiir.se, remains to be done, that the society of Arts ami Crafts purposes to make its anniversary exhibition an event of national importance. hall, which, through the international rrt shows of the Copley society has become certainly one of the most famous exhibition halls in the country, has been -mgaged for this exhibition, will be held between the dates FeV), 5 and Feb.

The fitness of the S(xiety of Arts rnd Crafts to undertake an ambiti- 11 exhibUion of this character has been demonstrated by the success with which its various activities have been pursued in a dignified and se rious, yet energetic manner. it is and are assisting the cause of handicraft in this country by writing of it and taikiug about it, and often purchasing for their own use articles made by craftsmen. So that, without in reality entering into competition with the work of the machine, which has become a necessary part of civilized existence, and which will always continue to do the coarser and mere ordinary things of life, the believers in the value of the hand-made have already gained a modest following and a proper place for the things they as was lately shown in a special bulletin of the governmental department of commerce and labor. All this has come to pass within ten the liammered brass work and painting of realistic roses, pansies and lillies on plaques, which we regarded as decorative work in the 'seventies and can hardly be cermed serious handicraft.

At this nearlv every American city has its local and crafts society, with occasional exhibitions and a distinctly national association with a present membership of about 550, representing nearly every state of the union. Permanent headquarters, with galleries for exhibitions, are maintained in Park street, Boston, close by the Massachusetts state contributing artists, a reasonable rale or articles for the benefit of house. The money from the In the Circuit Court of the United States for the Central Division of the Western District of Missouri. commission charged as a means of defraying necessary expenses, increased from about S9000 in 1903 to more than $14,000 in 1904, more than $37.000 in 1905. and about $40,000 in 1906.

The rooms of the scciety have served primarily as a clearing house for the handiorait action lies of studios and shops in various ports of the country. The society has also recently established in Boston handicraft wdth opportunities for metal wmrkers, and here, although no preference is given to those who work at its benches, over those contribute from outside, some of the things that will be showm at the forthcoming exhibition at Copley bill have undoubtedly been produced, in movoments for the bettering of laboring conditions in Massachusetts, and particularly in the uresent agiration for improved industrial education, the Society of Arts and Crafts has been prominent. That the celebraHon of the tenth anniversary of Ameiican handicraft should occur in New' England although the eontribuiions to make it successful w'i'i) conm from every part of the coiuury, while it will unques- lioiiably draw inteiested visitors from every section, is particularly an- propriate, because industry in the New' England states is tending to change from the Icwer grades to those in whicli the artistic skill and taste of the workers imparts high value to the raw materials. Such an exhibition will aormally attract not only who are especially interested in the fine arts, but the general public of w'age earners and employers of labor ble iK)ssible conditions, have assisted. company.

He seemed to linger behind the others and acted as though even a closer investigation would suit him better. Finally when he came back into the office he turned to Deputy Warden Dodson and remarked, lie hack with you next The deputy looked puzzled tor a moment and then answered, prettv full on help at present.

Wade, former tronsurer Cloud county, and he had pleaded guilty of using $10,000 of the money. His Second Visit. Yesterday morning Wade came to the prison again, but this time as a prisoner.

As lie sat in the office with a tired, hopeless look on his face he looked more like a father who had come to see his son than a man under a sentence. Even the officers were surprised when they learned who he was. According to the statements that came with Wade he was one of the oldest and raose respected citizens in Cloud county and -was elected to his office for two terms. His own story which came with his commitment was told in an honest, straight forward way. He was the head of a large family and was deeply in debt, Jiiucli of which was caused by sickness.

Just after his first election his creditors begam to push him and he started to use the money, a little at first and then more. When the next election came around he had to use more money to get his office again. Then he invested in a bunch of cattle and placed his hopes in them. In his story, Wade tells how he watched during the summer and how confident he felt that they would heli' him pay ont in the fall, but like rr.iiny another investor in cattle, he lost all. When it came time to sell, prices went down and he lost even what he had paid tor them.

Wade told of how his debts worried him day and night and how at last when he could stand it no longer ho went away, and then how he found that even then he could not escape from his trouble. So came and found a warrant issued for his arrest. He gave himself up and pleaded guilty. With Wade's story came a note from the judge who said that he believed statement was correct. There is no doubt that a great deal of sympathy was felt ior him as his sentence was only from one to five years.

Wade is the only man who ever came to he iiri.son after he had pleaded guilty to look it over before entering as a prisoner. Little Liver Pills thoroughly clean the system, good for lazy livers, makes clear complexion, bright eyes and happy thoughts. Sold by W. E. Bard Drug Co.
