THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY VIRGINIA TWENTY-SEVEN Two Pret One phase of the moyen age princess is demonstrated in our first illustration, the style being suited to either house or street wear. As illustrated, the dress is made of pale gray cloth, with a yoke of more in the same tone, and a yoke of fancy net. The cuffs are also of the moire, but the buttons and piping used are of gray velvet in a slightly deeper tone. For theater or other evening use this gown could be of white, or cream, or pale blue, or dull rose cloth, or serge. The evening serges are very handsome and within the means of most home sewers. For street wear, serge or cheviot would be good choices, and with these the yoke and cuffs could be of the same with a braid finish. For a medium figure $5\%$ yards of double width serge is enough for this gown. The second model gives one of the evening dress aspects of the moyen Milliners Work Hard Thinking Up Designations for That Form of Headgear. Evidently the turban is to take on as many kinks and curls as the milliner can devise. And with each new kink comes a new name. We have had Turkish, Uhlan, Russian, Cossack, Sultan; now we are to have Rembrandt, Henry III., Hussar, De Stael, Drum Major and Napoleon. Some of the furs of which they are made are of the ultra-fashionable ringtaff; also ermine and sealskin, Australian opposum and moleskin. The drum major turban is trimmed with a cirlet of antique gold and bronze set with jewels. The latter are very new and smart and will not stir the wrath of the Audubon society. A thick quill is used; then the long, coarse fur of the monkey is put in it at each side. It is amazing what influence the Audubonists are having on milliners and these fur quills are one outcome of it. Bronze lace is widely used for trimming, and ermine and sealskin without trimming are among the most distingushed turbans of the season. Another model that has startling distinction is of moleskin trimmed with an heroic pansy made of blue and violet bugles with a gold center. OF CLOTH OF GOLD. A beautiful but costly turban for evening wear or formal afternoon occasions is made from cloth of gold. It is artistically and beautifully draped and has for its sole decoration a gorgeous paradise aigrette in natural coloring. ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE age. It is made of all-over and bordered fancy net. Any bordering sufficiently wide, however, to cut the top of the garment could be used for it, as well as a pretty figured silk, Swiss, or dotted or checked muslin, with all of which materials the lace-entree deux and ribbons here employed go charmingly. With a thin white material, such as net, lace or Swiss or barred muslin over a tinted slip and with ribbons in the same color, this gown would be charming for any of the holiday functions soon to come. If a low effect is desired, the line of the neck could be made round and the gulpe left off, in which case the line at the bottom of the bodice, and those of the sleeves, should be cut plain. For the medium misses' figure four yards of all-over net, and six yards of bordering would be required for this dress. PROPER LENGTH OF SKIRTS Fashion's Decree Makes Distinct Variations in Dimensions of the Garment. There is confusion in the minds of many concerning skirts. There is so much talk about smart gowns being five inches from the floor for evening, and nearly six inches for morning, that women wonder if there is any hour in which the long, graceful skirt is worn. The strict decree of fashion is this: Skirts five or six inches from the ground for street wear; skirts that sweep the floor in a round train for the afternoon, and skirts five inches from the floor for the evening. This is the decree! Everyone does not have to abide by it, but numbers of women will accept it in part, if not in whole. They may not have every evening gown made short, or every afternoon frock made long, but they will assuredly have one of each kind to show that they know what is being done in the world of fashion. Possibilities. There are some women who are constantly utilizing old material, and then, again, others who discard a shirtwalst, skirt or dress merely because it is somewhat old style or torn in a few places. A white linen shirtwalst, which was in very good condition, save for a few holes at the neckband and waist line (caused by constant pinning), was saved from extinction by one of the cautious, who converted it into stock collars and belts. The ends of the stocks were square, and on one collar five tiny clovers were embroidered. There is a satisfaction in knowing that good material is never wasted. The half-worn linen skirt has countless possibilities. Brocade Hats. Brocade is much favored for bridesmaids' hats. Perhaps it solves the color problem as well, for it is always possible to secure just the right shade of blue or pink at the silk counter when the felt hats offer no assistance to eager buyers. Large shapes are popular, and plumes of the same color or contrasting tones are used. The design of the brocade seems especially ornamental and suitable for festive occasions. After the great event these silk hats are lovely for evening wear. Black Flshnet Black fishnet in coarse, heavy silk mesh is used for the all-black blouse and trimmed with black grograin ribbon of several widths, advancing from a quarter to an inch. The dullness of the ribbon and the extreme plainness of these little models proclaim them correct mourning for the younger woman. They are lined with hustlerless black silk, except their collars and wristbands, which are left transparent. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. PRESIDENT TAFT'S SOUTHERN TRIP!! HIS PRAISE OF THE ARCH-REBEL, JEFF DAVIS, AND HIS "TRA-DITION" TALK CON-DEMNED! ROOSEVELT AND TAFT'S SHAMEFUL ACTION! A Loyal White American Who Can't Forget Libby Prison and Other "Hell-Holes" of South Where Union Soldiers Were Beaten, Starved to Death and Brutally Killed in Many Other Ways. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: It may be a little late to write anything about Taft's southern trip, but today I noticed, for the first time, in the independent of November 11 (I think that was the date), extracts taken from Taft's speeches in the south. In one speech he praises Jeff Davis, the arch-rebel, and in another he says that he don't want the south to give up any of her old treasures, because then that, the north doesn't want her to. He can speak for himself, if he wants to, but he is deceiving himself if he thinks that is the sentiment of the north. Two of those traditions were the right of the states to secede from the Union whenever they wanted to and the right of the south to hold the black reef as slaves. Two noble traditions to be preserved, surely; And to think that a president of the United States should utter such sayings as these, a president supposed to President Test reprecn, the whole people, not the south alone! President Roosevelt started the ball to rolling by having the name of Jefferson Davis replaced on the bridge at Washington where it was erased by order of Abraham Lincoln, if I am not mistaken. I commanded the officers of Jeff Davis take the place of Abraham Lincoln they are much mistaken. Already Lee's statue is placed in the capitol at Washington, and they are trying to get an appropriation through congress so as to put a statue of Lee in the city of Washington, as they have that of Sheridan and Sherman and others. They have the power to give the capitol to Jeff Davis as I understand, in Washington, and yet they want one of Lee, the rebel and traitor. President Taft may be expected to encourage this proceeding, judging from his speeches in the south. If those speeches were mere flattery, they were reprehensible, and if they were his honest sentiments, and if they were his Republicanism, as he thought he would when the northerners elected him, but southern Democracy. My uncle died in Libby prison, one among the hundreds who starved to death in that black hole, and Andersonville was worse, and my father's health was permanently shattered by four months in that terrible prison, so the doctrine of "forgive and forget" applies to our family. We might have forgiven the rebellion, but we can neither forgive nor forget the needless suffering of our loved ones in the worst hell-holes ever provided on earth by people either civilized or savage. Of course, I do not remember my uncle, but my father's crippled condition always aroused my resentment against the soldiers, that devotion of the northern soldiers seems to be in vain, at least it will seem so as long as we have presidents who feel toward the south as Roosevelt and Taft do. U. H. FRYE. BOOKER'S CONSTRUCTIVE WORK. The white man looked contemptuously down upon the black leader who smiled back affably. "Get out of here," yelled the white man as he kicked the black leader down stairs and tossed a quarter after him. The black leader pirouetted and bumped and rolled until he landed sprawling in the dirt. The dark and watching crowd were breathless, and one of his arms bared his arm. Slowly the black leader arose and his eager supporter assiduously brushed off his pants. Then the black leader squared his shoulders and looked about him. He cleared his throat and the throng hung upon his words breathless, eager, while the one man clutched his club tighter. "My friends," said the black leader, "the world demands constructive work; it dislikes pessimists. I want to call your attention to the fact that this white gem/man—I mean gentleman—did not kick me nearly as hard as he might have; again he wore soft kid boots, and finally I landed in the dirt and I was knocked over. I assumed the black leader as stooped in the dust. "I am twenty-five cents in." And he walked thoughtfully away, amid the frantic plaudits of the crowd. Except one man. He dropped his club and whispered: "My God!"-Washington (D. C.) Horizon, Prof. W. E. B. D. Bois, Editor. John Brown and Robert E. Lee. Fifty years ago (December 2, 1859) the name John Brown was inscribed on the roll of those who suffered under Pontius Pilate. He whom John Brown worshipped said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." The hero of Harper's Ferry laid down his life for those whose condition made it impossible at the time that measure at its worth, the sacrifice he made for them. Fifty years after the event this people, though deeply grateful for his deeds and memory, cannot honor his name if they would without incurring the charge of stirring up fear for the people who captured John Brown, Lieut. Col. Robert E. Lee, subsequently became an armed insurgent against the authority of his country and for four years baffled its mightiest army. Lee's statue now stands in the capitol, while John Brown's body lies mouldering in the museum at New York. Virginia placed the bronze statue of Robert E. Lee in the capitol. May not Kansas place the statue of John Brown there as the symbol of a completely re-umited country?-Washington (D. C.) Horiz Seventy Years Old and Still Active. Lima, O.—Joseph D. Morin, the veteran barber, who has been a resident of this city for a quarter of a century, celebrated his 70th anniversary Dec. 18. He is gray haired, but still active and competes with those who are many years younger. He is one member of the race that has qualifications and possesses the toughest position where color makes a count. He is a credit to the race, and to the community. Three children celebrated with him, his birthday anniversary at a sumptuous dinner. Mr. Morin has received the hearty congratulations of most of the leading men and the wish children of his grandchildren. The children residing here are Miss Morin and Mrs. Goldie J. Akers, who keep house for him at 151 South Jackson street, and a son, John Morin, the popular steward of the Lima club until recently, when he went into business for himself, as a gas fitter and plumber. The son and wife, formerly Miss Little Shaffer, daughter of Joseph Morin, the 1912 Elm street. One son, Joseph, died just three years ago and his vacant chair was the only sad feature of the home gathering on the 19th. Says Johnson Will Triumph. New York City—Jack McCloskey, trainer of the ball team at Harvard, not very long ago handled Jack Johnson for three or four fights. He thinks Johnson will surely beat Jeffries. Johnson drinks a little, but not enough to hurt him," said McCloskey. "He has been fighting all along, and that has kept him in great condition. He told me the other day he never lets a day go by now without doing some work for the Jeffries fight. He will keep right along working from this time until he gets into the ring, and he will be knocked out did condition. I don't think hell knock Jeffries out or even knock him down, but he'll wear him out and beat him sure." "Tex" Rickard, who bid $101,000 for Jeffrey Johnson and got it, says that at the best, motion pictures bring $500,000, of which he will get one-third.

C. — Lynchings in 1909 have numbered 72, the highest number recorded since 1904, according to statistics made public Tuesday. The victims numbered 11 whites and 59 Afro-American. The lynchings occurred in 12 states and one territory. One case, occurring in Cairo, Ill., resulted in the placing of the city under military control for several days. The Cairo lynchings, one white and one Afro-American, were the only cases the head of the city murdered north of the Ohio river during the year. Several double lynchings occurred at various points in the south, and Oklahoma furnished a quadruple lynching, with four cattlemen as the victims. In the following record the word "lynching" has been held to apply to the summary punishment inflicted by a mob or by any number of citizens on a person alleged to have committed a crime. By states the 72 lynchings case here recorder are classified as follows: Georgia 11, Texas 11, Florida 8, Louisiana 7, Mississippi 1, Alabama 7, Oklahoma 5, 5 Arkansas 3, Illinois 2, New Mexico 2, Missouri 1, West Virginia 1.

Some of my friends say that there fs no Santa Claus, Papa says: “If you see ft in the Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA 0. HANLON. And the editor of the Sun, mighty man of invective and sarcasm, be eame “even as a little child,” and wrote the following charming reply: VIRGINIA: Your little, friends fre wrong. They have been af- fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They will not be- Meve except they see. ‘Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clavs. He exists as certainly as Jove and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tol- erable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight.’ The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. You might get your papa to hire men to watch all the chim- neys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men see. No- ‘ody ean conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unséeable in this world. You may tear apart the baby's Tattle and sce what makes the noise in- side, but there is a yell covering the unseen world which not the strongest that ever lived could ever tear apart. Only faith, fan- ey, poetry, love and romance can push aside that curtain and view the picture, the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing so real and abid- ing. No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives dnd lives forever. A thousand years from now, Vir ginfa—nay, ten times ten thou sand years from now—he will continue to make glad the heart ‘of childhood. Merry Christmas!

Walter L, Brown, former city hall employe, whose right leg was ampu- tated some time ago, was presented with a cork leg last Saturday. The arti- ficial leg cost $100, which was contrib- uted in part by city hall employes. A very graceful act upon the part of Mayor Tom's suberdinates which the great majority of our people of this city, as well as Mr. Brown, appreciate. Mr. Johnson's insistance that Walter be nominated as a Democratic candi- date for justice of the peace and his (the mayor's) refusal to listen to a Prejudiced Democratic demand that Walter be taken off the ticket after he was nominated, will not be soon for: gotten, either. Our people showed marked appreciation at the polls in November, not only of Walter's nom. ination for the best paying position any Afro-American in this city ot county has ever been nominated for but also of Mayor Johnson's leading part in that important (to us) act, by giving both the mayor and Walter more votes than they have ever giver any Democratic candidate In the pas and by materially assisting the latte: to run ahead of the other two defeated Democratic candidates for justice o the peace. The whole truth is thai Mayor Johnson received more Afro American votes last month than h¢ ever did before and apparently mor: than ‘were cast for the Republicar candidate, Mayorelect Herman C Baehr. This was a very natural resul of two things: First, the latter's re fusal for seven years to keep th promise he mage our people of thi city through the editor of The Gazett. to give them representation in th clerical force of his office, the count; recorder's, and secondly, because o the fact that Mayor Tom had giver us more and better appointments thar any other local chief executive in the ‘latory of this city.

From the brary, off the hall, came the remints- cent glow of the gratefire with whlch the Christmas eve had deen cele. brated.

On the threshold of the Ubrary be stopped short, frightened at what he had done, He had caught Santa Claus! Aye, therg was Santa Claus, bend- ing over the big chair, which, the Littlest Boy glimpsed, was overtiow- ing with packages and things. 1 do not know but that the Littlest Roy would have beat courteous re- treat (although, of course, his farther curlosity was simply tremendous) had not Santa Claus suddenly glanced up and deccried him—a small, pink fg. ure, made still pinker by the glowing coals, framed, wide-eyed, in the library door-ease “Hello!” said Santa Claus, not moy- tng “Hello!” responded the Littlest Boy. “1 didn't know you ‘vere here,” “Didn't you?” remarked santa Claus, straightening up and slowly. stepping backward. “No,” assured the Litylest Boy. “Did you get in through the chimley?” During his whole life—that 1s, ever since he could talk—the Littlest’ Boy had been trying to say “chimney,” but, sometow, that “I.” being so sitm and hatebet-faced, always nimbly slipped in and elbowed out the “n.” “Did I get in througn the chim- Dley!” repeated Santa Claus; and then he opened his mouth in a. silent laugh. “Yes, 1 clumb down the cbim- ley,” he sald. “You say ‘chimbley’ and I say ‘chim. ley;" but my father says—says ch— ch—chimneley is right,” informed the Littlest Boy. “You don't mean it!” returned, Santa Claus, who, having backed to the win- dow looking upon the side porch, now, with his band behind him, was deftly sliding it up. “Please don't go, Santa Claus,” be sought the Littlest Boy. “We'll talke real low, so nobody'll hear. ‘That ts, if you're not in too big a hurry to stay," he added, poltely. “Sure,” responded Santa Claus. “It’s almost empty, isn't {t!” assert: ed the Littlest Boy. “But I s'pose you've lots more up in the balloon.

With a slam up sped the window; with an oath, out whirled Santa Claus. “You've scared Santa Claus!

Mr. Walker is custodian of Eagle Mountain, his home, and 15 years been in Europe with their daughter. The latter, under the name of Lucie Lenoir, "the Cuban Nightingale," etc., etc., has been appearing in concerts, in vaudeville, etc. Mr. Walker testified that he had mortgaged his home to provide for the mute singer, and that the wife refused to live with him. Mrs. Walker, her attorney said, is in such ill health in London that a journey across the ocean at this time would mean her death. For that reason it was sought to have the case dismissed by the court, but Judge Vickery, who heard the application, refused the request. Monday, about noon, while the editor of The Gazette was busy closing the editorial on Gov. Harmon and segregation, on page 2 of this paper, Mr. Edward Doctor, manager of the Z club, called and invited him to dine with Arthur J. Johnson, the chameleon of the world, and his manager George H. Lytle, at Stein's cafe, whom we learned on arrival were, too, guests of Will H. Hunley and Mr. Doctor. A delicious five course meal, including champagne and other liquid refreshments and cigars, was served in fine style, and the dinner naturally proved a most enjoyable affair indeed. Just Johnson, unremitting and intelligent, unnumbing and perceptive, and his manager likewise, contributed largely to the social success of the dinner, and it was certainly a pleasure to meet them both. Group pictures of the diners were taken in Stein's private dining room and on the sidewalk in front of the cafe; also several individual ones of the diners by chance in the daily paper, to whom he was especially kind. After the dinner, Messrs. Hunley and Doctor took Messrs. Johnson and Lytle in a taxicab to the Z club and Star theatre.

WHAT PRESIDENT TAFT AND OTHERS THINK OF CANADA. Another Fat Year for the Canadian West. Our Canadian neighbors to the north are again rejoicing over an abundant harvest, and reports from reliable sources go to show that the total yield of 1500 will be far above that of any other year. It is estimated that $100,000,000 will this year go into the pockets of the Western farmers from wheat alone, another $60,000,000 from oats and harley, while returns from other crops and from stock will add $40,600,000 more. Is it any wonder then that the farmers of the Canadian West are happy? Thousands of American farmers have settled in the above mentioned provinces during the past year; men who know the West and its possibilities, and who also know perhaps better than any other people, the best methods for profitable farming. President Taft said recently in speaking of Canada: "We have been going ahead so rapidly in our own country that our heads have been somewhat swelled with the idea that we are carrying on our shoulders all the progress there is in the world. We have not been conscious that there is on the north a young country and a young nation that is looking forward, as it well may, to a great national future. They have 7,000,000 people, but the country is still hardly scratched." Jas. J. Hill speaking before the Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few days ago said: "I go back for 53 years, when I came West from Canada. At that time Canada had no North-West. A young boy or man who desired to carve his own way had to cross the line, and to-day it may surprise you—one out of every five children born in Canada lives in the United States. Now you are playing the return match, and the North-West is getting people from the United States very rapidly. We brought 100 land-seekers, mainly from Iowa and Southern Minnesota, last night out of St. Paul, going to the North-West. Now, these people have all the way from five, ten to twenty thousand dollars each, and they will make as much progress on the land in one year as any one man coming from the Continent of Europe can make, doing the best he can, in ten, fifteen, or twenty years." It is evident from the welcome given American settlers in Canada that the Canadian people appreciate them. Writing from Southern Alberta recently an American farmer says:— "We are giving them some new ideas about being good farmers, and they are giving us some new ideas about being good citizens. They have a law against taking liquor into the Indian Reservation. One of our fellows was caught on a reservation with a bottle on him, and it cost him $50. One of the Canadian Mounted Police found him, and let me tell you, they find everyone who tries to go up against the laws of the country. "On Saturday night, every bar-room is closed, at exactly 7 o'clock. Why? Because it is the law, and it's the same with every other law. There isn't a bad man in the whole district, and a woman can come home from town to the farm at midnight if she wants to, alone. That's Canada's idea how to run a frontier; they have certainly taught us a lot. "On the other hand, we are running their farms for them better than any other class of farmers. I guess I can say this without boasting, and the Chandians appreciate us. We turn out to celebrate Dominion Day; they are glad to have us help to farm the country; they know how to govern; we know how to work." Another farmer, from Minnesota, who settled in Central Saskatchewan some years ago, has the following to say about the country:— "My wife and I have done well enough since we came from the States; we can live anyway. We came in the spring of 1901 with the first carload of settlers' offals unloaded in these parts and built the first shanty between Saskatchewan and Lumsden. We brought with our car of settlers' effects the sum of $1800 in cash, to-day we are worth $40,000. We 'proved up' one of the finest farms in Western Canada and bought 320 acres at $3 per acre. We took good crops off the land for four years, at the end of which we and $8000 worth of improvements in the way of buildings, etc., and had planted three acres of trees. Two years ago we got such a good offer that we sold our land at $45 per acre. From the above you will see that we have not done badly since our arrival." Prof. Thomas Shaw of St. Paul, Minnesota, with a number of other well known editors of American farm journals, toured Western Canada recently, and in an interview at Winnipeg said in part: "With regard to the settlement of the West I should say that it is only well begun. I have estimated that in Manitoba one-tenth of the land has been broken, in Saskatchewan one-thirtieth and in Alberta, one-hundred and seventy-fifth. I am satisfied that in all three provinces grain can be grown successfully up to the sixtieth parallel and in the years to come your vacant land will be taken at a rate of which you have at present no conception. We have enough people in the United States alone, who want houses, to take up this land. "What you must do in Western Canada is to raise more live stock. When you are doing what you ought to do in this regard, the land which is now selling for $20 per acre will be worth from $50 to $100 pre acre. It is as good land as that which is selling for more than $100 per acre in the corn belt. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1909. "I would rather raise cattle in West- ern Canada than in the corn belt of the United States. You can get your food cheaper and the climate is better for the purpose. We have a better market, but your market will improve faster than your farmers will produce the supplies. Winter wheat can be grown in one-half of the country through which I have passed, and alfalfa and one of the varieties of clover in three-fourths of it. The farmers do not believe this, but it is true." Keeping pace with wheat production, the growth of railways has been quite as wonderful, and the whole country from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains will soon be a network of trunk and branch lines. Three great transcontinental lines are pushing construction in every direction, and at each siding the grain elevator is to be found. Manitoba being the first settled province, has now an elevator capacity of upwards of 25,000,000 bushels, Saskatchewan 20,000,00, and Alberta about 7,000,000, while the capacity of elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes, is upwards of 25,000,000 more. Within the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta there are flour and oatmeal mills with a combined capacity of 25,000 barrels per day, and situated along some famous water powers in New Ontario, there are larger mills than will be found anywhere in the Prairie Provinces. Last year the wheat crop totaled over 100,000,000 bushels. This year the crop will yield 30,000,000 more. A recent summary shows that on the 1st of January, 1909, the surveyed lands of the three western provinces, totaled 134,000,000 acres, of which about 32,000,000 have been given as subsidies to railways, 11,000,000 disposed of in other ways and 38,000,000 given by the Canadian Government as free homesteads, being 236,000 homesteads of 160 acres each. Of this enormous territory, there is probably under crop at the present time less than 11,000,000 acres; what the results will be when wide awake settlers have taken advantage of Canada's offer and are cultivating the fertile prairie lands, one can scarcely imagine. Bather Ambiguous The Rev. Mr. Dozen had not gained the golden opinions of his congregation, who were unanimous in asserting that he was foolish and conceived. He considered himself greatly slandered, and, meeting an old German friend of his in the street one day, began to retail his woes, ending up by saying: "And the church warden actually called me a perfect ass. My cloth prevented me from resenting insults, but I think I shall refer to it in the pulpit next Sunday. What would you advise?" "Mine friend," replied the German soothingly, "I know not, but I tink at all you can do will be villous to bray for them as usual!"—Detroit News-Tribune. Pathos Out of Place in Schools. In an address at a teacher's institute Miss Martha Sherwood said that sad and psthetic stories should have no place in the public schools. She told the teacher that the most morous stories and the kind that make children roll on the ground with laughter. "Anything to make them laugh, and laugh loudly," she said.

The Senator Was Too Ill to Attend the Present Session of Congress in Washington. Jackson, Miss.—United States Senator Anselm Joseph McLaurin died very suddenly of heart disease at his home in Brandon, Miss. The fatal attack seized Senator McLaurin while he was seated in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace in his library. He fell forward, without speaking a word, and life was extinct when members of his family reached his side. Senator McLaurin, who was 61 years old, began his first term in the United States senate in 1894, but was elected governor of Mississippi in 1895 and served in that office four years. He was elected again to the senate in 1900 and served one term. He then returned for the term which began on March 4, 1907. Senator McLaurin was a lawyer by profession and began the study of law in 1868, after he had served through the civil war as a private in the confederate army. He was born on March 26, 1848, at Brandon, Miss., and was raised on a farm. He entered the confederate army when he was 16 years old. When the present session of congress opened Senator McLaurin did not go to Washington because of illness. ASSASSINS APPLY THEIR ART British Magistrate Killed, Prime Minister Shot, Premier Stabbed and Police Chief Blown Up. Washington, D. C.—After a day in which assassinations of three high foreign officials were reported the authorities here have just received word that a fourth victim had been reported from Roumania, the prime minister being shot. A remarkable series of political assassinations of persons high in office has been reported from widely separated points throughout the world. In St. Petersburg, the chief of the secret police, Col. Karpoff, was blown to pieces by the explosion of a bomb, supposedly thrown by an anarchist, At Bombay, British India, the chief magistrate of Nasik, Arthur M. T. Jackson, was assassinated by a native, for revenge, and presumably as a part of the seditious movement against British official authority. In Seoul, Korea, the prime minister of the Korean cabinet was stabbed to death as the apparent result of the intense feeling against the Japanese. "LITTLE TIM" SULLIVAN DIES Gave Employment to Worthy Persons, Regardless of What District They Belonged to. New York City.-Timothy P. Sullivan, the "Little Tim" of the Bowery and a power in metropolitan politics, is dead here. He had been in bad health for more than six months. Death resulted from Bright's disease and inflammation of the heart. "Little Tim" will ever be remembered by thousands throughout the city, where he was known as a man who gave employment to worthy persons regardless of what district they belonged to, and strange to say he did not ask whether the applicant was a publican, and it was the same regarding women who looked for jobs. FOUR DEAD; TWO SUICIDES Jealous Kentucky Miner and a Crazed California Man Commit the Terrible Murders. London, Ky.-Jealousy was the cause of a triple murder and suicide in Pittsburgh, a mining village near here.

Attentions which Murray believed Cole was paying Mrs. Murray brought on the shooting. Fresno, Cal.-Suddenly becoming violently insane, G. C.

But now I am free again. Thank God, I'm free." Charles L. Warriner, former treasurer of the Big Four offices had just been sentenced to serve six years in the Ohio penitentiary. Oil Exports Drop Washington, D. C.—Alarmed by a drop from $1,000,000 to $26,363 in mineral oil exports to France in a month, American oil exporters have begun a movement to induce congress to renew with the French government the reciprocity treaty that expired October 31. Exporters also hope for the renewal of the treaty with Spain, also a large importer of American oil, that will expire August 31, 1910. The falling off of the imports of champagne from France was most marked. Thieves Work as House is Burning. New York City—Sensational rescues, a semi-panic in an adjoining hospital, and operations of sneak thieves in near by buildings which had been abandoned by their owners featured an incendiary fire in an East Thirty-third street apartment building. Two men had a narrow escape from death, one being swung across an airshaft, dangling from a rope's end, and another plunging through the glass of a closed window several feet away to escape death by devouring flames.

Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly inflamed—Was Unable to Go About—All Other Treatments Failed, But Cuticura Proved Successful. "About two years ago my eyes got in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were considerably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well. They have never given me any trouble since and I am now sixty-five years old. I shall always praise Cuticura. G. B. Halsey, Mouth of Wilson, Va., Apr. 4, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp.

The model is made with a centerfront or center-back closing. Bishop or plain sleeves and with or without feet, according to taste, the neck finishing in a high straight collar band. The model is a very simple one, and, therefore, extremely easy to make at home. The pattern is in five sizes—1 to 11.

To keep food that burns easily hot upon the gas stove, or to cook anything of the kind without constant stirring a simple device possible to any housekeeper helps out greatly. This is made by securing a small tin such as baked beans are sold in by delicatessens and grocers. Puncture the bottom of the can with several holes and invert it over the flame. Place the pan in which the food is to be cooked on this, turn the gas very low, and it will keep warm or simmer (according to the height of the flame) without scorching the contents. The Latest Foundations For sheath foundations of evening gowns the very newest idea is to use broaches of gorgeous hue and design or heavy watered silks. The princess underdress of these supple silks can be fitted perfectly to the figure, and the lovely colors, with their scrolls and flowers carried out in glistening silver or gold, form artistic backgrounds upon which chiffon, tulle or crepe de chine can be draped. These exquisite sheaths are generally made with narrow trains, square or round, and the draperies are arranged in semi-pannier fashion. CONDUCTOR WENT TOO FAR Diplomatic Step Was All Right, But He Didn't Know Just When to Stop. A much-bothered conductor on an east-bound car was asked by a chilly lady passenger to close the ventilators. As he had already been importuned to open them by a half dozen other patrons he resorted to diplomacy. "Madam," he said in a confidential tone, "I'd gladly close the ventilators, but unfortunately a health officer is aboard the car and he must that they must be let them. I'd make myself liable to a lot of trouble if I opposed him." "A health officer?" said the lady. "Yes'm," replied the conductor. And then intoxicated by the success of his scheme he unhappily added—"the one with the brown deby." The lady looked and a change came over her face. "The one with the brown derby?" she repeated. "Yes'm. They say he's quite an expert on germs and things. I believe he's a German gentleman." The lady stared at the conductor. "He's nothing of the kind," she snapped. "The man with the brown derby is my husband!" Whereupon the conductor beat a hasty retreat—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Much is being done in these days to stop the ravages of consumption, but probably nothing has been so effective as teaching the public how to break up a cold and cure coughs, bronchitis, tonsillitis, etc., with simple home-mixed medicine. In the case of whiskey as the prime need. A cough indicates inflammation and congestion and these in turn are due to an excess of waste and poisons in the system.

Good Work Going Forward. Following a whirlwind campaign against consumption in Charleston, the American tuberculosis exhibition of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently opened another exhibition movement in Greenville, S. C. After January 1 the work will be continued in Columbia, S. C., in connection with the session of the state legislature. Efforts will be made to secure an appropriation to fight tuberculosis. Another exhibition of the National association has just closed a campaign in Colorado, and is now touring Oklahoma. A state-wide fight will be waged in this state. Later, this exhibition will go to Arkansas. Diet of the Old. A sane diet for a person of 70 or 75 should be made up largely of vegetables and fruit, some fish, some eggs, a little meat and simple cereals, if there is no inclination toward obesity. Drinking with one's meals is not considered advisable, especially as liquids are apt to wash down the food before it is properly masticated. Two quarts of water, or more, should be taken between meals, however, during the day. Hot water is especially good for one who does not exercise much, as it flushes out the entire system. Stimulants, such as tea and coffee, should not be very strong.—Harper's Bazar.
