GREAT RAILROAD LANDS PASSENGER'S IN THE GROUNDS. There is an old saying that "All Roads Lead to Rome." This seems to be especially applicable to the coming Exposition at St. Louis. There never was a time in the history of railroading when such keen and active competition existed as at the present time over the transporation of passengers into that city. Folders innumerable of every class in the highest degree of art, have been printed and generously circulated by the great trunk lines of the country that enter St. Louis. One and all they are models of the printer's art and for neatness of design and vast fund of information, they eclipse all former oforts. While all of the great trunk lines will do an immense business, the fact remains that the Wabash is the potent factor of all. The Wabash is the only line having its own rails into the World's Fair grounds. The main line of this great system runs within one hundred feet of the main entrance to the grounds. The Wabash is the only line that enjoys this privilege, owing to the condition of its main line tracks, which pass through this portion of Forest Park. A magnificent passenger station has been erected at this point and in addition the company has arranged for a through passenger, local and excursion train service, with what is termed the "Shuttle" equipment; to care for 25,000 passengers an hour. The convenience is one of the most modern and complete of anything of the kind ever attempted by any company. In the case of "all roads lead to Rome," a reverse must be made in this case, for the Wabash is the one and the only line landing its passengers at the main entrance, or in fact, anywhere near it. It is also interesting to note the fact that the Wabash has a road bed the equal of all. Ninety pound steel rails with a perfect ballast equipment, a block system, the entire length of the line, interlocking and every modern device known, makes this the one line to the "World's Fair." And the equipment of the line is absolutely perfect. No faster, nor more complete trains are run than by this line. And as to fast time, it is an acknowledged fact that the Wabash is the peer of all. The company has purchased over half a hundred of the new fast "Atlantic" type engines for use during this service and in addition have purchased over seventy-five cars of the most modern construction, parlor, combination and otherwise, for use during this service. New, fast, limited trains on the order of the "Pan-American Special," will be introduced by the company. Detailed information can be had by applying to L. S. McClellan, Western Passenger Agent, 903 Main street, Kansas City, Mo. Especial attention of the public is invited to the new folders and maps as issued by the Wabash company.

Too many men are incapable of doing their own thinking. Girls who make fools of men usually make lasting impressions. A lot of misery comes to the man who sits down and waits. Most of the good times we have are not appreciated until the next day. Some men are too busy to take a rest until the undertaker gets them. Any girl who thinks as much of a man as she does of herself will do to tie to. There are a few self-made men and a lot of self-made blonde women in the world. If tombstones are truthful the cemeteries contain more good people than ever lived. It may be all right to give credit to whom credit is due, but spot cash is always preferable. Most people would rather blame a man for what he doesn't than give him credit for what he does. A man may be disappointed in the friendship of his friends, but he can always depend on the enmity of his enemies. To-day the average man is saving up to buy a home, to-morrow he buys it and the day after he will try to sell it for less than cost—Chicago News. BUDS AND FLOWERS Ability never amounts to much until it acquires two more letters—stability. Our incomes are like our shoes. If too small they gall and pinch us, but if too large they cause us to stumble and to trip. Write your name with kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of the people you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. A life spent amidst holy things may be intensely secular; a life the most of which is passed in the thick and throng of the world may be holy and divine. The pessimist is the fellow whose morality has cold feet. Every girl who works is not such a beauty as to enslave her employer. The optimist is the fellow who thinks he can always loop life's loop. We offer no rewards for "lost time," yet it is one of our most precious possessions. The flying machine may be all right, but an old donkey is safer on a lonesome road. Were it not for envy the residential town sites would not command so large a figure. The most pathetic sights on earth are an old horse turned out to die and an old man whom nobody wants. When a married woman lectures about home and husbands hubby should tell his version of the story. There must be an awful lot of solid comfort in being able to buy a lot of newspapers wherein to "boom" one's self. If other people valued us as we value ourselves we would be afflicted with a chestiness that would put our buttons out of business. The man with a pull and the man without a pull soon learn that although all men were born equal luck don't always strike the same way. When a man buys newspapers for the purpose of advertising his own philanthropies there may be more self-complacency than charity in the deal.—Kate Thyson Marr. PARAGRAPHS WITH POINTS. Little white lies live long and prosper. The world will forgive a man almost anything except failure. It is impossible to patch up a reputation so the patches won't show. If a man who falls in love at sight is wise he will take a second look before proposing. There are two sides to every story. The victory you win means defeat for the other fellow. Sometimes the breaking of an engagement enables the parties to live happily ever after. What a grand and glorious world this would be if every man would follow the advice he gives to others! No ordinary man can love a woman as much as she thinks he ought to and attend to his work at the same time. Life is a good deal like a meal in a cheap restaurant. The things you want fail to show up on the bill of fare. No, Cordelia, don't pine away if the young man asks you to return the engagement ring; spruce up and go after another one.—Omaha Bee.

Joseph Douglass began the study of the violin at the age of 15 years, and after a six months tuition under a Washington instructor, he entered the New England Conservatory of Music, where during his three years course, he was recognized as its leading violin pupil. "Young Douglass was chosen violin solist on the occasion of a testimonial or recital out of 60 violin pupils, which was given at Music Hall, Boston. After his course in Boston he was called upon to fill numerous concert engagements, and as a result he has performed in all the principal cities of the country with marked success, receiving the very highest praise from the press and public. "His favorite instrument is a Stilber violin, a gift from his grandfather, and which cost $1,000. Young Douglass says that this violin inspired him more than any other, although his grandfather had previously presented him with two valuable instruments."—Boston Daily Globe. Joseph Douglass, grandson and companion of the late Frederick Douglass, is without question the most finished violin performer of the colored race. He was the special pride of his illustrious grandsire. There are but few violinists in the country that possess a finer quality of instruments than Mr. Joseph Douglass, and his rendering of the classics is nothing less than masterful and inspiring."—Chicago Herald. "Joseph H. Douglass, a grandson of Frederick Douglass, was next introduced. He rendered a violin solo, 'Hungarian Rhapsodie,' by Hauser. Mr. Douglass displayed a wonderful technique, interpreting in a masterly manner the wild flights of the Gypsy of the Hungarian pussta."—Washington Daily Times. "Joseph Douglass is an artist in every respect. As a violinist he is wonderful, and will delight any audience. He was the charming feature of the concert last night."—Charlestown S. C., Daily News. "Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, the violin solist, is a thorough master of the instrument, and his rendition of an Ill Trovatore fantasie gave a delightful exhibition of artistic skill."—Baltimore Daily Herald. The following extract from the Boston Guardian gives an account of Douglass's appearance and artistic triumph in New Haven, Conn.: "On Thursday evening, Warner Hall was filled with one of the most representative and appreciative audiences that ever attended a public function among our people. The occasion was the second concert and reception of the Woman's Twentieth Century Club with Joseph Douglass as the star attraction of the evening. Mr. Douglass is undoubtedly the most renowned violinist the negro race has ever produced. We have produced violinists who could play with dash and feeling and others have mastered the technique of the art, but in Douglass we have the rare blending of perfect training with passionate feeling of soul ardor the result of this perfect blending of the elements which constitute the true artist, is that Douglass can charm and captivate a mixed audience. The numerous encores he received and the tremendous applause which greeted his playing shows clearly how he delighted his hearers." "Following the reading of a poem, the large audience was treated to a violin solo, executed by a master hand in the person of Joseph H. Douglass, grandson of the late emancipator. The number of Sarasate's 'Gypsy Melodies.' The expression brought out and the true artistic skill displayed both proved the great ability the artist possesses. Added to the ability inherited from his grandfather, with whom the violin was a favorite instrument, the grandson combines advantages of scientific culture."—Rochester Herald.

The great duty of life is not to give pain; and the most acute reasoner cannot find an excuse for one who voluntarily wounds the heart of a fellow creature. We save and toll, we worry and feet; and all the while close over us bonds the infinite wonder and beauty of nature, saying, "Look up my child! Feel my smile and be glad!" If we find that our time passes slowly and heavily, we may be sure there is something wrong within. Either we have not enough to do or we work mechanically, without heart or energy. Live not for selfish alms. Live to shed joy on others. Thus best shall your own happiness be secured; for no joy is ever given freely forth that does not have quick echo in the giver's own heart.—Household Guest. JOTTINGS.

WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW. Iowa pays women school teachers less than any other state, the average salary being $36.91 per month. Experts estimate the total number of books printed in the world at 12,730,000. The annual production is now 150,000. The consumption of cigars and cigarettes increased enormously last year.

NUMBER 1 BOOKER WASHINGTON'S COM- MENDABLE RACE PRIDE. MENDABLE RACE PRIDE Booker T. Washington's remark in a recent address in New York that he was proud of being a negro condenses a whole system of philosophy. The great question now vexing the Southern states will be in a fair way to be solved when this saying becomes generally accepted and acted upon. The pride to which Mr. Washington referred to was of the same nature as that which an American takes in his citizenship. The average inhabitant of the United States is proud that he belongs to a nation with a history and which has before it a splendid future. That is a sort of pride which adds to the man's self-respect. It does not make him insolent or offensive, but it does make him a better citizen. The head of the Tuskogee Institute feels that his race has stood one of the severest tests of history with credit to itself. The withering effect of modern civilization upon every inferior people with whom it has come in contact has often been remarked upon. Yet under the discipline of slavery the black race has thriven and progressed by the side of the strongest off shoots of the masterful Caucasians. To make over a race is no child's play. Even with the firm basis of Roman civilization it has taken 2,000 years to transform barbarian Europe into the continent of today. The progress that the negroes have made only two centuries removed from savagery is therefore reason for satisfaction to Mr. Washington. He wastes no time in lamentation that he was not time in lamentation that he was not fully and honorably as a negro so as to do his share in elevating his race in the opinion of the world. Clearly this is the attitude for him to assume if he expects to accomplish anything. No race can succeed if it merely sets out to be a servile imitator of another. It has its own life which it must live in its own way. The Turk who dresses in Constantinople in European costume is the man most distrusted by the men he imitates. The Hindoo who is educated in the English language and is superficially made over into an Englishman shows every sign of deterioration and the name applied to him—"baboon"—is a term of contempt. The experience of the world seems to indicate that civilization is to be worked out by various races and nationalities each developing along its own line. The great prizes are not for imitators. The self-respecting negro with race pride, of whom Booker Washington is a type, is trying, not to be a second grade white man, but to be a first-class black one. He is not discouraged by the handicap of color, for he understands that his race has still to win for itself position. He knows that this success for his people can be secured only by raising its standard of intelligence, morality and efficiency. The negro criminal he seeks to discover and put down, not merely because the man is a law breaker, but because he is a traitor to his race. He does not try to withdraw from his own people and become a hanger-on of the whites, for he knows that as a negro he can accomplish most both for himself and for his generation. WHY?

The longer I live the more sure I am that to the devout soul God is con. stantly speaking by the little incidents of daily life, declared the Rev. F. B.

Would Have Hie Party Commit Itself to Many Strange Reforme—Constl- tutional Amendments and Some Platitudes to Fill In. Tho Hon. Charles Arnetto Towne, whose Democracy is by Silver Repub: Heanism out of Republicanism, has written a platform for the St, Louls convention. Any sketch of this sort should be received kindly, but Mr. Townes proposal that the Democratic party guarantee ultimate statehood or independence to “colonies or depen- dencies” of the United States seems decidedly premature. He speaks of the “anomalous relation” of auch de- pendenctes to the government. The “relation” of Alaska Is “anomalous,” but nobody is excited about it. Tho Democrats have tried “reasserting the verity of the Declaration of Independ. ence,” as Mr. Towne says. The less they have to say about that smashed scarecrow of “imperialism” the better for them. “Independence” for the Philippines 1s out of the question, for the present at any rate. As for “ultimate” statehood, that is too far off, Americans aro able to walt for the ultimate, ‘The !mmediate iy their business, What principles marked “imme. diate” has Mr. Towne? Revision of the tariff on a revenue basis.

Ma eee RN PER a Tet ea aR Having reasserted the verity of the Declaration, Mr. Towne proceeds to reassert and repair the Constitution: “We should pledge ourselves to re- spect the limitations of the Constite: tion and to restore the co-ordinate dig: nity of the Congress in our system.” “We should declare in favor of con: atitutional amendments authorizing the direct election of United States senators and the enactment of an in- come tax.” Respect the limitations of the Con- stitution by changing it. “Restore the co-ordinate dignity of the Congress"— whatever that means—by making the senate a six-year house. Mr. Towne wants to “restore the action of the Federal government to the principles of Washington and Jefferson,” which were not precisely the same, we be- Meve. At any rate, Washington and Jefferson were for representative gov: ernment according to the Constitution, a form not direct and popular enougt for Mr. Towne. It would seem a little more Demo cratic to propose that the several States should levy an income tax, I they choose, but Mr. Towne's Democ racy {s liberal and composite. Surely there must be plenty o Democrats who are willing to stick to the constitution instead of trying ‘to plaster it with amendments.

There was once a man who insisted that unless his theory concerning the procession of the equ: noxes were Instantly and universally adopted there was great danger that the world would wake up some morr- ing and find itself without any equl- noxes at all, Congressman Lovering is equally in earnest about his draw- back bill.

The trusts and great commercial combines occupy the center of the stage, and all other interests than those of money seem clearly to be of subsidiary tmportance, But, as a matter of fact, it has not been greatly different in any period. Industrialism has always been and will always be the chief interest) of mankind. It is through labor that the race {s working out its evolution, moral as well as physical. Let general idleness prevail for a single year and the wheels of clviliza- tion would slip back a century. * When primitive man invented his first rude tool of stone or sea shell he marked the dividing line between himself and brute, and he has since grown in intellect and morality only as he has grown in industrialism, It 1s industry that has given man purpose and efficiency and comfort. It has elevated and chagtened his ideals, It is the great civilizing, the great moralizing, the great spiritualizing force of the world, Labor is life. ‘The quick growth of the big combt- nations has introduced new industrial system rather than any new spirit. It seems to have brought the mere mon- ey-getter more prominently to the front through his stupendous su cesses and made the lot of the com- mon man appear hard by contrast. But the truth ts that never before in the history of mankind was any auch large mass of the people com- fortable and economically efficient. Labor with its leavening influence has been carried into deeper and dark: er recesses of life than ever before. IneMciency, pauperism and misery disappear before it as mists of dark: ness dissipate before the sun. ‘The domination of industry and commerce over politics is nothing new and perhaps not so alarming as it seems, Politics 1s secondary to commercial: ism in true importance to the public It ever has been so and ever will be There is nothing paramount to indus try. Political doctrines that do no! harmonize with and promote the in: dustrial interests aro visionary anc ought to die. The mere money-getting instinct {s the lowest in human nature. But this 1s not to be confounded with the in dustrial spirit which projects. enter prise and sets the heart of mankin¢ thrilling with hope, purpose, effort. There are no issues between the two parties to-day but commercial is sues. Each is seeking to find a stand point that will be acceptable both t “business interests” and to “labor in terests,” where these conflicting ele ments can clasp hands in commer cause. And why not? That standpoin sought is the true Utopia. | Pessimists may deny it, but we ar '|every day drawing nearer to it. | All other human questions radiat '| from this central one. | As we solve it, step by step, b; ,| getting the world at work, all othe ;|auestions solve themselves.—Chicag | Journal. DESTINY OF HUMAN SOULS. Are the bodies of animals inhabited by the souls of human villains dead and gone? Don't sneer too hastily at the question, for if it should be answered finally in the negative scl- ence ts at a loss to account for the utter depravity of the animals. It 1s apparent to the dullest observer that ‘dumb beasts exercise a malign influ: ence over man. Think of the tem- pers ruined by cows that have kicked over half-filled pails of milk. Think of the reputations for truth that have been destroyed by trout. Think of the honesty that has been turned into deceit by the horse, so that they who trade in that animal are bywords among their less sorely _ tempted brethren. Think of the indefinite pro- longation of this list that might be made, and then consider if animals are oF are not animated by the souls ot human wretches that have passed away. Some such theory must be accepted and it 1s not open to doubt that rea sonable people will accept this: The souls of the wicked are condemned to pass into animals and to stay there until they have discovered prospec tive tenants worse than themselves, This theory explains everything The Mars inhabit fish, the tricksters horses and those given to butting in become goats. In the attempt to enc their tenancy by finding suitable suc cessors, the evil spirits resort to temp tations, with, alas! unfailing success The halt-pound trout dropping off th hook flaps his tall in ecstatte certaint that the angler will proclaim him ¢ five-pounder at least, And the look o human anticipation on the face of « goat about to knock some unsuspect ing person into a barbed-wire fence can unly proceed from the knowledg that the resultant explosion will lowe another so::! into the mire as a step ping stone for himself, ‘The theory 1s irrefutable, and tt eneral acceptance would help thi worl? to a higher plane.—Portlan Oregonian. MESSAGE FROM LUNDY’S LANE. The Fifth United State Infantry has adopted a motto, and it 1s a fine one. It was furnished by Col. James Miller at Lundy's Lane. He was asked whether he could take a certain Position of the enemy, and his hand went up in instant salute, while he said: “I'll try, air.” He won his fight in a manner that is famous to this day. He won as most of the “I'll try” kind of men win. Of course, a class or a regiment motto and a coat-of-arms are more or less feathers, Alone they never mado & student nor a soldier. But those things do make for pluck. ‘They represent ideals and they act as spurs. Did you ever stop to think what a different world this would be if there were no "quitters"? There are thou- sands of them in every walk of life. ‘They can’t do things. Sometimes, it is true, they are asked to attempt greater feats than they are mentally or physically capable of, and are to be pitied. But they could at least make an effort and die fighting. In the stores, offices, shops, homes, there 1s always the element that is afraid, Some fear rules and some work. Others fear that they will do more than they are paid for, Some sulk because Recognition does not al- ways meet Endeavor at the door. ‘And all in this class represent vary- ing degrees of inefficiency. They do not succeed, because they do not de- serve to succeed, They need constant applications and repeated doses of the spirit that filled the breast of Col. Mil- ler at Lundy's Lane. More battles are fought in the fields of commerce, you know, than were ever waged with powder and shot. ‘There ts position and profit waiting for every man who will carry the “I'll try” apirit in his breast. Don't let the pessimists tell you that the fleld is overcrowded, It isn’t, except with mediocrity. ‘The fellows who do not quite Teach are always in the majority, and most of the time the fault is theirs. It would be good if, over the door of every store and factory and office where men toil and hope for advance- ment, the brave words of the hero of Lundy's Lane could be carved in big letters. For, “I will try” ts progress.—Chi- cago Journal. MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL. ‘The Manchester Ship canal, thirty- five miles long and twenty-six feet deep, is one of the nine great ship ca- nals of the world, It 1s now proposed to deepen it to twenty-eight feet and to make other tmprovements, upon which $7,500,000 will be expended, In its present form the canal has cost over $75,000,000. "An interesting showing of the in- creasing use that is made of the ca- nal by seagoing vessels is contained ‘in the last annual report of the board of directors. In 1894, the first year the canal was open, the tonnage of toll-paying merchandise in seagoing boats was 686,158. Last year the ton- nage was 3,554,636, which was an in- crease of more than 400,000 tons over 1902, The net revenue from the ca- nal last year was $830,000, an increase of $125,000 over 1902, The revenue is, however, as yet far from being sufficient to pay all the in- terest on debts incurred, not to speak of dividends on the capital stock. In- terests on bonds held by private per- sons has all been met, but the canal company {s now in arrears to the amount of $8,000,000 for interest due on a $26,000,000 loan advanced by the city of Manchester, ‘This condition of affairs does not worry the city at all, for {t did not anticipate that the canal company would be able to settle with it from year to year, and it gets its gain in the increased trade that 1s brought to it by the canal." Arrangements have now been made by which the city {s to give the canal company easier terms of payment, and the officials of the company express the belief that in the course of time they can increase the canal tolls to a degree that will greatly Increase their revenue. The present plans for the {mprovement of the canal are sufficient proof that Manchester {s well satisfied with its huge investment.—Chicago Record- Herald. WHEN I8 WOMAN HAPPIEST? mie t When a girl is 18 she thinks the best time of a woman's life must certainly be from 18 to 22. When she has passed her 22d year, she is decidedly of the opinion that from then until the age of 28 really marks the limits of the best time, and when 30 comes on the scene she 1s ready to glve way to all those who belfeve a woman to be then at the zenith of her life. It 4s generally maintained that after 25 the average woman begins to at- tain her physieal and mental perfec- tion, and that for some eight or ten years after this she still retains her charms undiminished, After this time, of course, it depends entirely upon the woman whether she chooses to advertise her years, or by her charming personality and clever dress- ing conceal all ravages of time Philadelphia Ledger. TOP HUMANS EYE Walking Suits. There is nothing smarter for a walking or traveling suit than black and white shepherd's tartan. It does not show wear or dust, and always looks trim and neat. there are still a few women who persist in showing favor to this most congruous fashion. High collars a de rigeur now and even our capes a ruffles have softening plisse effect brought up high at the back of This little suit is made with a full plaited skirt that clears the ground by several inches. It is laid in deep plaits that are stitched down a little way from the waist. It is finished at the bottom with a deep hem. The jacket is a short box coat, with collar and cuffs of white broadcloth strapped with half inch wide bands of black velvet ribbon. There are three pockets on the coat piped around with black velvet, and the flaps decorated with cloth covered buttons. The ones which fasten the coat are very large, and have black velvet ribbon on them in a cross design. The jaunty air of this costume is very striking, and it would be a useful suit to any one. Pretty Weddings Color effect is greatly studied nowadays at wedding ceremonies, and the result is often delightful. Red and white weddings have been much in vogue during the dull winter months, with desirable result, and the little pages with bright-hued cloaks slung over the shoulder, or tiny bride-malens in mob caps, flowered frocks and muslin aprons, scattering pink and red roses, nave lent a charming picturesqueness to the bride and her surroundings. Considering the number of fashionable weddings which have taken place recently, the variety introduced into the functions has been little short of surprising. One of the prettiest results was achieved at a recent ceremony, when the snowy-gowned bride was accompanied by a train of bridesmaids attired in every shade of pink, ranging from the most delicate wild rose tone to that of the deepest crimson. For Fair Golfers. Golfing costume of green and white. White cloth strappings and green piplings. White hat with green velvet band. Pale Tints to Have Vogue. As one notes carefully the various new fabrics and modes in spring displays it becomes a noticeable fact that the all-white fad is being pressed hard for first place by the beautiful pale tints now so artistically presented in dainty stuffs for miladi's inspection. In the new transparent cottons, in the pineapple cloths and the very fine batiste and linens the delicate pinks and blues, greens and lavenders are most daintly wrought or printed, and while of course the all-white gown will be a favorite in the summer girl's wardrobe, it will not monopolize her fancy as it did last summer. Handsome Street Gown. A handsome street gown is of mauve cloth. A hip yoke formed of stitched bands of cloth fits snugly and fastens with gold buttons a trifle to the left. The bodice is fashioned after the same idea, the stitched straps giving a short-jacket effect, closing on the side to correspond with skirt decoration. The sleeves are similarly treated and the large, loose puff which falls from elbow is attached to a narrow cuff. The collar is also made of stitched straps and golden brown satin, the latter being used for the deep girdle and scarf, which is finished with brown silk fringe. Blouse Problems. The difficulties of the blouse problem are greater than they used to be, for, unless of a very smart order, we do not seem anxious to have much in the way of collars. The hour of the transparent yoke and decollete neck for day wear is happily over, though there are still a few women who persist in showing favor to this most incongruous fashion. High collars are de rigour now and even our capes and ruffles have softening plisse effects brought up high at the back of the neck, held in place by a buckle; they are sometimes even finished with a wide Medic collar. For Young Girls. With one white and one colored evening gown a girl may go to any number of dances through a season, and look smartly gowned, for changing the trimming of the waist with lace bertha, chiffon fuchu, or different artificial flowers, makes the gown look like new each time. The present fashion of wide belts of different colors helps immensely, too, in changing the appearance of a gown; a pale blue belt instead of pink and blue flowers on the waist and a lace bertha instead of a fuchu work wonders.—Harper's Bazar. Roses for Hat Trimmings. "A good ostrich fall makes a good flower spring" is an old saying with milliners, and the spring of 1904 will bear out the truth of this statement. Roses promise to take the lead. The tiny button variety, in single and double garlands, edge the brims, encircle the crowns or otherwise trim the hats. Medium size roses are used as garniture in single or double wreaths, and large roses are often used singly. When the large flower is employed tiny green leaves bordering the brims make a charming effect. Dainty Maid's Stocks. A pretty device for keeping the twentieth century girl's white stocks and starched collars immaculate when not encircling her fair throat is made of a round basket. Line with silk of delicate hue, with an interlining of wadding, sprinkled with sachet powder. A circular piece of pasteboard covered and wadded serves for a lid, and also as a convenient resting place for the fancy pins worn at the front and back of the stock collars. Old-Fashioned Fancy Revived. An old-fashioned fancy which has been revived again is the darned net one. A pretty table cover was made from a piece of net a yard square. A narrow hem was turned up all around the edge and covered with a flat lace braid. Inside the hem was a simple darned border. Cushions of darned net are also popular, as are center pieces, dolles, plano scarfs, curtains and portieres. Smart Little Spring Coats. The spring coats are broadcloth or velvetteen, the long, plain sacque style, single-breasted and without collars. And the hats are moderately low, round corners and wide brims, and are often gardens of tiny flowers or fields of waving ribbon loops. Black chip will be much worn with all colors of dresses and for all occasions. Sailors have the wide, up-curving brim and are most often of fine straw. Styles in Sleeves. The sleeve, made of a thin material, and differing from that of the gown, is seen in the latest imported models. This is sometimes the full sleeve of lace in a silk or crepe gown. Again, it may be of net, spangled or plain, and of an entirely different color from that of the rest of the costume. Hanging sleeves of chiffon inside others of silk are very stylish and effective for ball costumes. Dainty Unlined Waist. Very dainty walsts of pleated chiffon or crepe de chine are made in the unlined style. The pleating is set into a deep yoke, which falls well over the top of the shoulder. Bodices of chiffon also have the pleated part falling loose in bolero style, and the lower part of plain chiffon, which is almost hidden by the frill. Skirts of Many Patterns Skirts are of many patterns. Some are smooth fitting round the hips, but into others creeps the Victorian fullness. Some of these full skirts have the width held in by plats to the depth of a hip yoke. Some have a flat yoke and front panel set in, the fullness starting on the sides at the lower edge of the yoke. A Novel Pen Back. A novel pen rack, suited for a handsome library table in a house lighted by electricity, is in the shape of a low trough of slenna colored majolica. At the back of the trough, on its edge, are seated two blinking owls, with luminous eyes, the light being supplied by hidden electric bulbs. Shaped and Stitched Bands. Shaped and stitched bands of the material make a simple but pretty finish for an afternoon suit. They outline fronts, cuffs and cape of the bolero and the edges of the skirt and of all flounces. "Monster" Belt Pins. Some of the new belt pins show monsters and grotesque head, suggestive of the Japanese bronzes. The drawing is carried out in gold and some color outlined with black or gold.

The Missouri statue is her first large effort. Another woman sculptor whose work will be prominent at the fair is Miss Janet Scudder, a Terre Haute girl. Her work for the exhibition is a statue of President James Madison. ALE OF HAMPION GUNNER Wilson ARBUCKLE for championship he fired a six-inch gun twelve times in one minute and fifty-four seconds, hitting the target eleven times, thus breaking all previous records. The world's championship was heretofore held in England, the best record being the firing of a six-inch gun twelve times in two minutes, hitting the target nine times. The United States championship was held by a gunner from Wisconsin, but young Arbuckle, only 18 years of age, has given to Illinois the world's championship. Judge Once a Factory Hand. Judge C. W. Raymond, recently appointed chief justice of the United States court of appeals in Indian Territory, was a factory hand in an interior town of Illinois twenty-five years ago. Joseph G. Cannon, now speaker of the house of representatives, became interested in the young man, induced him to study law and has remained a helpful friend. Judge Raymond was appointed to the federal court at Muskogee by President McKinley in 1901.

"While a coffee user my stomach troubled me for years," says a lady of Columbus, O., "and I had to take medicine all the time. I had what I thought x% the best stomach medicine I could get, had to keep getting it filled all the time at 40 cents a bottle. I did not know what the cause of my trouble was but just dragged along from day to day, suffering and taking medicine all the time. "About six months ago I quit tea and coffee and began drinking Postum and I have not had my prescription filled since, which is a great surprise to me for it proves that coffee was the cause of all my trouble although I never suspected it. "When my friends ask me how I feel since I have been taking Postum I say, 'To tell the truth I don't feel at all only that I get hungry and eat everything I want and lots of it and it never hurts me and I am happy and well and contented all the time.'" "I could not get my family to drink Postum for a white until I mixed it in a little coffee and kept on reducing the amount of coffee until I got it all Postum. Now they all like it and they never belch it up like coffee. "We all know that Postum is a sunshine maker. I find it helps one greatly for we do not have to think of aches and pains all the time and can use our minds for other things." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaculated condition, and compared that person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation." — MISS IENES HAPOON, 1023 Sandwich St. Windsor, Ont. — $5000 if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflammation of the womb, and many other causes.

The kingdom of the Roman Empires was destroyed and just so it will be with the strong and mighty nations today when they continue to erush and de- prive the weak nations who strumle for civilization, honesty and religion.

To The Editor of the Rising Son: | Dear Sir: Grant us space in which to make a few statements relative to teacherd and the raise of salaries. | We have been pained by the fact ‘that while the leading business men of this city are writing strong letters to the papers, showing why teachers should have more money, and. are doing all they can to create a sentl- ment in favof of this movement, some of our own men who have denied them- selves actual necessities of life in order to enter a profession or engage in business that must die if it has ‘not the support of our own people, ‘are loudest in urging voters not to vote for the raise of salaries, Suppose it is time, as they say, tuat the colored teachers do not know ‘what to do with thelr money. One thing is certain, they will put it Into ‘circulation and this of itself will bene. fit all who have business relations with them, | There are two strong reasons why colored yoters should fall into line sa vote for progress: _ First—In order to show the com: munity that they are civilized enough |to protect and support all that is good |for their women, | Second—That they may not show themselves to be such dogs in the manger that they will defeat the wil of leading citizens and some day, wake ‘up. to find themselves disfranchised because they do not know how to use | the ballot. Where are all these superior colore | men, anyway? If they were half 8 manly as they think they are, there | would be afew more comfortable |homes in this city and perhaps a few Jess women in the school rooms with out enough business sense to handle money. | TWO SCHOOL TEACHERS. WHEN NOT TO MARRY. * Don't marry to reform a man, Re who would not reform before marriage is not likely to do so afterward, There is no more fallactous hope a girl can entertain than that of changing an unreformed rake into a good husband. Don't marry a man to whom “Yeo” has been said in a moment of mis- taken sympathy or sentimental ecs- tasy. Sympathy is not love, neither fs ecstasy; the latter, when carried to excess, is a form of hysteria, and both are poor foundations for matrimony.— Liverpool (Eng.) Mereury. Don't marry a man who has only his love to. recommend him; there are other qualities requisite in el quite as {mportant as this. A head ts ‘anted as well as a heart. ‘The average woman spends more time than money when she goes shop Dios. r An epicure is a rerson who doesn't enjoy the kind of food that agrees with him.

Everybody enjoyed the Easter services last Sunday at the various churches. The churches were all beautifully decorated and were well attended. Mr. Henry Compton, of 1104 Charlotte street, has enlarged his dining room and made several fitting improvements. He is now in a better position to cater to the needs of the public. The Silver Leaf Club dance, Friday night of last week was a very pleasant affair. Mrs. Bessie Washington, who has been teaching school in the southern part of the state will return home soon.

FOR RENT.—A 14 room house, 558 Oak street. 'Call on W. C. Stewart, 310 Heist Bldg. SENTENCE SERMONS. Faint heart is famished heart. Promptitude is the life of praise. He who waits on fate wins failure. Spiritual growth is never spasmodic. The truth that hits is the truth we hate. Faith is never developed by finding fault. The best kind of love is love of our kind. There is no service where there is servility. There are no rights without responsibilities. Men who are downcast are easily cast down. The high livers do not reach the heights of life. The devil would have no dupes if he had no decoys. He who gives the world most always finds he owes it most. The world needs broad sympathy more than broad sentiments. There is more health in happiness than there is happiness in health. He who works for the human race has a good show in the heavenly race. There is no virtue in hearing two sermons if you do not practice either of them. When money can secure your complaisance with wrong more money will secure your co-operation. The gate of heaven may be narrow, but many will find that it takes more than narrowness to enter there.—Chicago Tribune. PENCIL POINTS. Sober second thoughts usually occur the next morning. Bachelor girls are spinsters who refuse to admit it. The ten commandments are good examples of broken English. Planets revolve, but shooting stars are not necessarily revolvers. It isn't necessary to erect a monument when you bury animosity. Many a well-informed woman has her servant girl to thank for it. Disorder in a political meeting seldom begins until after it is called to order. Acting is supposed to be a profession, but sometimes it is merely a walk in life. A woman is never really prostrated with grief unless she is unable to consult her dressmaker. Every minister is hopeful that the strife in the choir will cease when the millennium rolls around. It often occurs to us that the most shiftless looking work in the world is driving plies. The Kelley Style Correct for Spring.

It was magnl: fleent! On the next morning when he saw the same young lady again pacing ap and down the deck, he put all his energy into the English he could summon, and with profuse apologies made comments upon the sea, the earth, the sky, and all that therein Is, She was pleasant, and he was en- thustastic, and when the buoyant Mr. Martindale came out again to say something to her, and after she had disappeared, the Count let his en- thusiasm bubble forth in many ear- nest but somewhat broken syllables. “Mees Wiltsong, she 1s so charm: ing.” “Sho Is a very pleasant young lady," replied Mr. Martindale, and then he walked down the deck with a broad grin on his face. After that he called her “Mees Wiltsong.” | ‘The Count was very attentive, very persistent, very gallant, and every time Miss Wilson appeared on deck in some mysterious manner he man. aged to be near to offer eyery atten- tion that gallantry could suggest, that invention could find. He was unde niably handsome and his English tm: proved with the voyage. It was as If the shaking up had rubbed the rough. est edges off his syllables, When Miss Wilson was not about he cultl- vated Mr, Martindale and the burly millionaire enjoyed the attention, Finally, one day, in a great burst of confession and confidence the Count sald, “Meester Martindale, I would be so glad to pay my attentions te your niece,” “Why, certainly. Go ahead,” ex claimed Mr. Martindale with a laugh that was on the point of an explosiot that might have shaken the ship if t had found its full vent. And so it went on, and the elima: came a lovely morning when tho grea' vessel passed Fire Island on her homeward stretch through the gate way of the new world, The young lady with the flush o health deep in her cheeks, her eye: as clear as the blue of tho skies, an her whole being a personification o vigor and beautiful happiness, wa standing in a corner by herself whe: the Count approached and told he || that he had found that for which hi had searched the earth in vain—th || object of his love—the most adorabl ,| woman, whom he loved with an ut | selfishness that no language could e3 .| press. .

You may ask him, he will comprehend.” | She said nothing, but seeing the ro tund form of the millionaire coming down the deck advanved to meet him, and without a word came back with him to where the Count was standing. “Mr. Martindale.” she said, very soberly, “I understand Count | Frica- deli to say that you are my uncle, and that you have given bim per mission to speak to me upon a some what personal subject.” Mr. Martindale smiled broadly and replied, “The Count must be mistaken, I have never claimed to be your uncle, although } should be very proud if J were." ‘The Count was becoming strangely agitated, but he sald, “Meester Martin: dale, you sald I might pay my atten tions to your niece.” “Well, Count, I have not the slight est objections to that, but {t happens that the only niece I have lives in Da: kota and has the finest family that any man ever saw.” “Then Mees Wiltsong,” mumbled the poor man on the verge of ‘col- lapse— “*Mees Wiltsong,’” sald Mr. Martin dale, taking the words from him, “is 8 most delightful and a most capable professtonal nurse who has been most attentive to my wife during our lit tle trip to Europe, and sho 1s a lady whom I can cordially recommend te any one needing her services.” It would be hard to follow the rest of this disaster, but “Mees Wiltsong” and Mr, Martindale were laughing after the Count had found solitude tn the stateroom, from which he did not emerge until the stewards were al most obliged to put him off tha ship. WHY HE QUIT PLAYING POKER Lesson Which an Old Gambler Taught Novice at the Game. An old man sat at a late breakfast in a hotel cafe last Saturday, when a young man with haggard face and downcast eyes took a place near him, “Tom,” sald the newcomer to the attendant, “I must go light, for I play: ed in hard luck last night.” The old man nad finished and sat studying the other's fice as he ate. Shortly he took a roll of bills from his pocket and laid it In front of him. “It's yours,” ho sald, Mechanically and with a trembling hand the young man took the money. “You were In the game?” he sald. “Yos, and thet is your money, about $200, Quit playing poker.

Younghusband, at the head of a detachment of the Brit- ish army, has forced his way over the Himalayas into Tibet and has de- feated the Tibetans at Guru, not a hundred miles south of Lhasss, the ‘Tibetan capital. ‘This advance of the British into Tibet had been more carefully pte- pared than was the Russian advatice into Manchoorla. Bhotan, the som!- independent mountain state lying south of Tibet to the east of the trade route from Bengal to Tibet, was brought under British control in 1865. British influence in Nepal, the Hima- layan state south of Tibet, west of the trade route, was established in 1815. Between the two lies Sikkim, a Tibetan state, and a British protect- orate was established over this in 1890, Control of Sikkim gave the British possession of the trade route as far north as the mountain passes, Meantime Russian agents, Japanese priests, and Chineso travelers had penetrated to Lhassa. A Japanese priest was the first man to live for any length of time in the mysterious city, and on his return he published his observations. Among the things he reported was the success of a Rus- sian expedition to Lhassa bearing presents to the Grand Lama, or sov- ereign of the country. Among the presents was a consignment of Amer {can, or Springfeld, rifles sent by the Czar as,a personal gift to the Tibetan ruler. England's answer to this report of Russian success was to order Col. Younghusband with 300 men across the mountain divide into Tibet. ‘The expedition was called a commercial ‘mission, and its object was declared to be to persuade the Tibetan gov: ernment to remove the restrictions ‘on the Indian tea trade. It was rep- resented that, while Tibet purchased from China every year tea to the value of $800,000, the government per- nes One Time He Had Forgotten.

They made a landing at Nome one day when the sea was so rough that the passer gers were put in a cage and swung ashore, “And that,” he concluded, “was the only time any man ever had ‘me in a cage.” “Not much,” bluntly interposed Senator Berry of Arkansas, with whom Mr, Nelson has many a time and oft fought over the battles of the civil war. “We had you in a cage at Port Hudson.” And Senator Nelson had to admit it.

Younghusband left Darjeeling, the outpost on the Indian frontier, in October last. He made his way to the higher mountain passes, where he was confronted by the Tibetans, who insisted that he should return. He held his position, however, and tent for reinforcements, Then he )iro- ceeded northward by way of Yatong, Chumbi, Pharljong, and over the dif- ficult pass beyond into the Tang-la valley, making a new base at Tuna, A short distance north of this point, the Tibetans, under command of the general at Lhassa, disputed his pes: sage. The result was two engage: ments, In which the Tibetan loss is reported at 750. ‘This means war, with as many pos- sibilities as hang on the outcome ot the campaign in Manchuria. The British detachment at Tuna will be reinforced, and the Tibetans will make resistance. In the end the Brftish are likely to capture Lhassa and ex- tend British influence to all of south: ern Tibet. Tibet's standing army is reputed to be one of the strangest aggregations of soldiers of modern times, Consist ing of about 4,000 men, so far as “known, it presents the features of an army of medieval days. Part of the force that is opposing the British ex- pedition into Tibet Is reported to be armed with matchlock guns. Most of the Tibetan soldiers, however, are armed with lances, bows and arrows and slings. The ordinary Tibetan is more Inclined to trust to divinations and spells of oracles and priests than to weapons. The lamas encourage the superstitious bellefs, with the result that the soldiers think their prayers and incantations will procure them supernatural assistance in battle and make them invulnerable against bul- lets.

HE necessity of a practical contrivance for straightening refrac- I tious or too curly hair hag long been apparent, The many men and women, endowed by mature with unruly and rebellious heads of hair, have found ordinary combing unproductive of results. It is | comparatively an easy matter to curl straight hair but almost an im- possibility to straighten curly hair. ‘The Magic Hair Straightener quickly, effectively and satisfactorily brings under subjection the most uncontrolable bead of hair or beard. It's use a few minutes daily, fol- lowing instructions, will straighten the hair where hours of combing will not, It will save the loss of hair that excessive combing produces. It is positively the only device that will accomplish such results, The use of the Straightener after the shampoo, will dry the hair quickerand better than the many methods ordinarily employed, and lessen very de- cidedly the risk of eatching cold. The Straightener consists of a steel bar with a handle of comfortabge grip. The bar is heated to an ordi- nary heat by means of gas, lamp or common stove; the comb then at- tached parallel to it, by an ingenious arrangement, and is then ready for use. The teeth of the comb can be regulated to suit the require- ments of the user, The full length of the teeth is best adapted for wom- ens’ use and straightens a heavy head of hair as fastas combed. The teeth shortened is preferable for men’s hair and beard. It will be found an indispensable article of toilet by all who take pride in their 1 5 rersonal appearance.
