THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Plenty Of Land Yet NINETH YEAR. Plenty O Drainage Alone clai Washington.—After a careful inves- tion, J. O. Wright, supervising image engineer of the department of culture, has found that east of the sky mountains there are 77,000,000 acres of swamp land that can be reamed and made fit for cultivation. Before these 77,000,000 acres made faithful and fit for agriculture and added into forty-acre farms, homes would be provided for 1,925,000 fami- Swamp lands, when drained, Mr. right points out, are extremely fer- requiring but little commercial fer- er and yielding abundant crops. Wright says that while an in- measure of $15 to $20 per acre in the non-producing states of the Middle it is considered profitable, much of the swamp lands in the East and th would, if cultivated in vegeta- yield a net income of over $100 more. For additional to these immediate offits, other benefits are pointed out would follow reclamation. The table value of the commonwealth would be permanently increased, the sufficiency of the community would improved, mosquitoes and malaria would be banished, and the construc- tion of good roads furthered. in the swamp lands of the United ties east of the Rockies were col- lated into one body, says Mr. Wright's port, they would make an empire as as England, Ireland, Scotland and ies. If placed in the Eastern part the United States, they would cover six New England states, New York the northern half of New Jersey. they would make a strip of 133 miles y teaching from New York to Chi- s. Wright's report is a strong ar- rent for adequate legislation to about the drainage of the swamp that can be reclaimed. He sees engineering obstacles of a serious to the reclaiming of the 77,000,000 alluded to. says that along the Atlantic coast dent work has been done to in- sure that the vast extent of salt reaching from Maine to Florida by proper methods be won to ag- gure, and when reclaimed, the soils especially adapted to market gar- ing. atures are presented to show it pay to drain the lands in ques- sion. The report calculates that the $60 per acre if drained, or a total of $4,620,000,000. Allowing $1,771,000,000 for value of the land undrained and cost of draining, and a net increase in value is shown of $2,849,000,000, or not far from three billion dollars. Mr. Wright does not go into the subject of whether congress should undertake by federal legislation the reclamation of some of the vast swamp land areas. He contents himself with pointing out the need of drainage and criticising some of the state laws dealing with the subject as crude and inoperative, though giving credit to others as effective. TO FIX CONVENTION DATE. Republican Committee Will Meet Early in December. Washington.—Interest in the location of the Republican national convention is renewed by the arrival today of Secretary Dover of the national committee to open headquarters here. Acting Secretary New is expected later in the week. If Kansas City gets the convention it will have to beat Chicago. Several other cities will send strong delegations here to fight it. A date about the week beginning June 21 is regarded as mots likely to be chosen. The committee will probably meet here about December 10, and the call to that end will be issued soon by Secretary Dover and Chairman New. GANS TO TURN FARMER. Joe Gans is going to buy a farm next spring and try to build himself up to be a welterweight. He thinks he can take on forty or fifty pounds, says the Denver Post, and it is his intention to go after the big fellows, if his plan proves successful. COLOR QUESTION PENDING. Episcopalians Have Not Settled Matter of Negro Bishops. Richmond, Va.—Measures providing for the establishment of a supreme court of appeals, for the appointment of Negro bishops, and for the grouping of dioceses into provinces were pending when the two houses of the triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal church began the third week of the convention. The house of deputies concurred in the action of the house of bishops erecting Eastern Oregon into a diocese. Bishop Tuttle announced today that he had temporarily appointed missionary bishops to preside over the missionary jurisdictions in the West. GOES TO GARDEN CITY. Rev. W. H. Denton, who very ably pastored the Second Baptist church in Newton, has accepted the pastorate of the Second Baptist church in Garden City, Kan. Rev. Denton is one of the most able ministers in Kansas and the good people of Garden City are to be congratulated on securing the services of so able a gentleman. On his leaving Newton the people tendered him a reception, at which many tokens of esteem were given Rev. and Mrs. Den- BIGGEST STORE IN KANSAS— BOSTON STORE To Have Formal Opening Saturday. Complete in Detail.— Everything From Pie to Pajamas. ATTEND THE BIG OPENING. Those who attend the opening of the Boston Store Saturday will see the first modern department store opened for business in the state. There are department stores in Kansas and in St. Joseph, but it is said there is not a department store between St. Louis and Denver which will compare with the Boston Store. It is the Marshall Field of Kansas. While the store does not have a live stock department it has about everything that is needed by the average person, from ple to pajamas. Almost every one in Wichita knows that the store is six stories with a basement and that each floor is 90 by 120 feet, but they do not know of the arrangement of the interior of the big store, nor the new departments, nor of the beautiful fixtures and modern conveniences with which the store is fitted. The store is almost a city in itself, and it will delight all of the women of Wichita and the surrounding country who come here to do shopping. The first thing that attracts the eye on entering the mammoth store in the beautiful arrangement and the light. There are no dark corners. The grand stairway in the rear of the store is a thing of beauty. Then there is the beautiful soda fountain, where everything that can be obtained at soda fountains will be dispensed, and where dalnties will be served. The tired and thirsty customer will find this a great attraction and an innovation in Kansas. The departments will be located as follows: Basement—Music, blankets comforts, groceries, bakery, house furnishings, and hundreds of bargains in odds and ends of all lines. First Floor—Dress goods, silks, velvets, linens, wash goods, domestics, ribbons, neckwear, velling, hosiery, toilet articles, notions, shoes, lace, leather goods, jewelry, candies, umbrellas, gloves and handkerchiefs. Second Floor—Millinery, cloaks and suits, corsets, infants' wear, shirtwaists, silk skirts and youths' clothing. Third Floor—Carpets and rugs, curtains, draperies, art department, dress-making, wall paper, trunks and valsises, and business offices. Fourth Floor—Furniture. Fifth Floor—Wholesale millinery. Sixth Floor—Reserve stocks and holiday goods. All of the floors where retail business is done are furnished with the cash carrier and pneumatic tube systems of the latest type, so that purchases will not be delayed. Wallenstein & Cohn started the Boston store in Wichita 21 years ago, in a store room 25x20 feefe. The business under their management has increased until it has reached the present mammoth proportions. You are very cordially invited to attend this grand opening and inspect every and all of the departments. MEDICAL EXAMINATION. At the examination held in Topeka, there were only 16 applicants for certificates. Of these eleven passed the examination, and three of these were Negroes. The Negro applicants were Gideon Brown of Mecca, Mo., D. H. Davis of Kansas City, Kan., and A. K. Lawrence of Wichita. Lawrence is not only a physician, but is a registered pharmacist. These three doctors are graduates of Kansas University, and are said to have passed exceptionally fine examinations. The names of the successful applicants are as follows: Gideon Brown, Mecca, Mo., D. H. Davis, Kansas City, Kan., H. W. Gaume, Danville, Kan., W. E. Royster, Chanute, Kan., E. C. Reynolds, Iola, A. K. Lawrence, Wichita, George A. Palge, G. D. Ruth, Joseph Shaffffer, Charles D. Stopher, N. E. Wilson WHEN A WOMAN WILL By MAB ERVIN When a pretty, clever woman makes up her mind to marry a man there are 'but two avenues of escape for him: To leave the country with no trace behind, or commit suicide. Miss Helen Leonard had made up her mind to marry, and had picked out the man. She was just a little bit of a dainty, fluffy thing, in white shirt waistts and short walking skirts, who took an hour every morning to comb her hair to look as if she never gave it a thought. It fell around her low forehead in careless waves of gold and brown, and she had a habit of brushing it back from her face at just the right moment to show off a delicate wrist and hand. She hated the typewriter, the letters, the briefs, and the endless amount of work of the law firm, but she loved the senator member of the firm, and he did not have sense enough to see it. He stood six feet two, was wealthy, dignified, but loved the wrong woman in his salad days, and was afraid of the entire sex feminine. He would never have consented to a woman stenogram; in the office, only he had a prejudice about seeing a man at a typewriter. a smile from his claimed that she hear Bernhardt, had seen her yet why she did no beau, and Helen eyes and modes have a beau, with a sweep with her Mr. Clayton thou her long to get but what he said bad." Helen could hion. She wou though, if she Clayton moved into the out soft profile of t her letters; no known he sighe a nice little girl love him. After he had the cover of the machine, k i the table with threw one paper floor and stampe into tears and s head on the tal cry. Poor little Helen had racked her brains for months trying to make him see she was something more than a mere piece of office machinery. She had smiled her sweetest, pouted her daintiest, and spent more than she could afford on her shirt waists. Her only progress was that he grew to occasionally discuss the law cases where women were concerned with her, and smiled good naturally at her girlish remarks. Helen knew he was fond of her, just as a dog feels human sympathy. She had got him very close to the edge twice, but each time Mr. Billings, the junior member of the firm, had interrupted them. So pretty Helen had about come to the conclusion that a brick wall would have to fall on Mr. Clayton to wake him up, when something happened. It was not much, only that Mr. Billings decided to take a two weeks' sojourn at a hunting lodge out of town. Mr. Billings was gay and handsome and debouinaire, with a stunning woman for a wife, whom he called his "pal." She hunted and fished with him, spent his money, entertained his friends, and kept him so bright a Bohemian that he always spoke of marriage as the "ideal state." If he were tired, she was tired, if he worked hard, she cleaned house, if he wanted to go to the theater, so did she, and if he liked a quiet evening at home, it was the only thing that would make her happy. To say that Mr. Billings ever even so much as flirted with another woman, would be to tell something that was untrue. He was too selfishly happy at home. Pretty Helen answered the telephone and wrote his letters, and knew this; but Mr. Clayton never concerned himself with the home relations of his partner. A week passed, and Helen made no progress. She remarked once that she was terribly tired of living alone, and asked Mr. Clayton if he knew some nice young lady who could be her room mate. Mr. Clayton replied he knew few young ladies, but would look around. Helen said at the luncheon hour as she pinned her hat and showed all the pretty lines of her little figure, that it was terrible to eat alone, and Mr. Clayton suggested that she join the Young Woman's Christian association. She pouted as she went out, and stanped her foot when she got to the elevator. When she returned she came in all enthusiasm, and as he looked up with Wrestling in Africa Lieut. Boyd Alexander, African explorer, writes of a queer feature of life in the interior of the continent: "At Ako I witnessed, for the first time, the Hausas wrestling. Toward sundown the whole town repairs to the market place, where a large ring is formed. At one side the king and his courtiers are present. The wrestlers are naked except for the short wrestling skirt of cloth, gorgeously patched and ornamented by cowrie shells and tails of the chase. a smile from his private office, she exclaimed that she was just dying to hear Bernhardt, and inquired if he had seen her yet. He mildly asked why she did not "tip it off" to her beau, and Helen dropped her big gray eyes and modestly said she did not have a beau, and made an upward sweep with her eyes as she finished. Mr. Clayton thought it would not take her long to get one, with those eyes, but what he said was "That's too bad." Helen could have cried with vexation. She would not have felt so, though, if she had known that Mr. Clayton moved his chair so he could look into the outer office and see the soft profile of the girl as she wrote her letters; nor if she could have known he sighed and wondered why a nice little girl like that could not love him. After he had gone Helen banged the cover of the typewriter down over the machine, kicked the chair under the table with her high heeled boot, threw one paper after another on the floor and stamped on them, then burst into tears and sat down and put her head on the table, and had a good cry. "Oh dear," she said to herself. "I know I'll have to pound that horrid old typewriter all my life, or marry some man I don't want and who never, never will earn enough for me to even have white shirt waists." Just then the telephone rang and some one inquired if Helen would care to go to the theater that night. Helen snapped him up with "I can't. I have to work." The voice replied that Mr. Clayton would not know what to do without her, and Helen banged up the receiver. "He wouldn't know what to do with me," she said between her teeth. "Wouldn't know what to do without me," in scorn. Then she began to think, and the longer she thought the more tender grew her smile. She took the top off the typewriter, wrote a letter, laid it on Mr. Clayton's desk, and went home. Helen had been working two hours next day when Mr. Clayton entered his private office, after a pleasant "Good morning, Miss Leonard," and a bow to the office boy. A moment later he called her, and she found him seated at his desk with her letter in his hand. "What does this mean, Miss Leonard?" he inquired. "Here it is Tuesday, and you say you are going to leave the firm Saturday, and will not give the reason." "Yes, Mr. Clayton," said Helen modestly, her gray eyes sorrowfully fixed on his face. "But you must give me the reason. Are you going to be married?" "No, it's not that. It's something else. It's here, you know—oh, Mr. Clayton, please don't ask me," she faltered in evident distress. Clayton took a few turns of the room, then inquired if the hours were too long, the pay too little? Helen said "no," and demurely looked down. Had he done anything to offend her? Oh, no, no, not he "Has Mr. Billings—" began Clayton, when Helen allowed two big tears to roll down her soft cheek. "Oh, Mr. Clayton, I am so sorry if you have noticed it too. I never intended to tell you, but I wanted to get away before he came back. I can't stand it," she sobbed out. "By Jove! You don't mean he has dared to make love to you?" he burst out, all his chivalry to the front. Helen nodded. "I am so alone, you know. There is no one to protect me. If I had a "The wrestling is carried out to the accompaniment of drums, whose beats increase in volume as the match be comes more exciting, great yells of approval now and again going up from the sea of black heads. The women whom the wrestlers are fighting for cheer them on by a continuous clapping of hands. Before wrestling, hands are shaken and umpires appointed. "In every move the wrestling is Romano-Greek, and in all probability the mode has come through from Egypt after the Roman occupation, husband he would not dare. It will hurt my reputation so to leave this way. People will say it was my fault. But I can't help it. I can't have a married man making love to me." She was sobbing now. "While you, if it were you—" She broke off with a little cry, and put her hands over her face in confusion, the perfect picture of beauty in distress. Clayton stood still and looked at her. "If it were me?" he said. But Helen only sobbed. Poor little unprotected thing, he thought; and Billings had dared to make love to this child, while he had never thought of such a thing. He looked at her in her pretty helplessness, and wondered why he hadn't. "If it were me?" he said again, taking her hands from her face. "Would you have wanted to leave just the same? Or would you have let me be your protector. Stop crying, child, and look me in the face and tell me the truth." Helen smiled at him from the depths of her heart, and what he read in her face made him put his arms around her and kiss her. When Billings came back the following Monday he found a new stenographer in Miss Leonard's place, and Mr. Clayton announced his marriage the Saturday previous to little Helen. "I am willing to let bygones be bygones, Billings," he said, sternly. "But I do not want any more lovemaking." And Billings, thinking he referred to his past, said, cheerily: "That's right, old man; you're on the right track." TYPES OF WOMEN IN EGYPT. The Aristocratic Male Egyptians in Cairo Marry Turkish Women. There are seemingly more types of women in Cairo, all of them natives of Egypt, than in any other city of like population in the world, says Leslie's Weekly. Their variety is due largely to the difference in costume, which is regulated by religious beliefs. All the women of Mohammedan faith wear vells. Some wear queer little spools of brass or gold, which are attached to the headpiece and which hang down to cover the nose. This signifies that the wearers are married. Others wear vells without either headpiece or nose covering. The vells of the Turkish women are handsomest and they are also the most coquettish, for occasionally they are thin enough to show the outline of the features beneath. Nearly all of the aristocratic male Egyptians of Cairo are married to Turkish women, who are supposed to be superior to the natives in both beauty and intelligence. The majority of Turkish girls of wealthy families are educated as are their European sisters and many of them are talented in music and painting. This enlightenment which allows the daughters to be educated applies only to those families which have had the advantages of English association. But this class is very rarely seen by the tourist, unless he gets just a flash of their velled faces showing through the closed windows of a carriage in which they enjoy their dafly outing on the fashionable Gazera drive of Cairo. It is the middle class which one will see on the streets and in the bazaars in the native quarter. Occasionally the aristocrat visits the jeweler, but when she does she is ushered into a private reception room, and is so hedged in by ceremony and servants that the European customer in the same shop cranes his neck in vain to get a glimpse of her.

Four years ago Henry Smith of Miss township, Brown county, hauled the manure from his cattle yards, is scattered it on his farm. When went to plow he found big bunches mank clover growing wherever the manure had been placed. He plowed under and to his surprise up came are patches from these scattering patches the next year. He plowed it under again and the next year it spread wonderfully, and now after a crop of wheat on the same ground each year, he has a patch of mild clover, rank and vigorous, scattered over 50 acres wherever the manure was placed. A big crop of meat and a crop of clover off the same ground this year and the ground rain seeded to wheat. He does not believe that this wonderful spread one from the seed, but from the littered on the roots, for, said he, Iowed too deep for clover seed to get through. The ground was tricked more every year and the old of wheat increased. Chautauquas Organize. Chautauquas Organize. Representatives of nine Chautauquas associations of Kansas met at Topeka and organized a mutual benefit organization which will be known as the Kansas Chautauqua alliance. The purpose of the new organization is to use the standard of Chautauqua work throughout the state, secure better lecturers and attractions for the summer courses and look after other matters intended to improve the courses. There are 18 organizations in Kansas which are eligible to membership in this alliance. The requirements are that the association be organized and comply with the plans of the general association. Nine of the Kansas associations were directly presented and five more were represented by letter and they agreed to step in the state work. The officers acted were: President, W. H. Clinton, Clay Center; vice president, A. E. Bright, Sterling; treasurer, C. F. Fenson, Paola; secretary, Miss Chloe Antison, Kansas City. Finest Hog in the World. Finest Hog in the World. Clay Center is now the home of an 8,000 Poland-China hog the property C. W. Dingman of Clay-Center and mith Bros., of Alma. "Voter" is the name of this wonderful hog and not only is he an $8,000 hog but he is the best specimen of his breed in the world, according to the hog experts of the United States. "Voter" won the championship prize over all Pond-China hogs of all ages at the Illinois state fair. The Illinois state air is held late, and the winners of all the state fairs held before were were to compete for the prize of champion which would indicate that the winner was the best of his breed any age in the world. "Voter" is not only valued at $8,000 but a half percent in him actually sold for that price, being paid to Mr. Dingman by mith Bros., of Alma. He is the highest priced Poland-China hog in the world. Must Report on Typhoid. Physicians who do not report typhoid fever cases in Kansas are to be prosecuted by the county health officers, according to instructions sent not recently by Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas board of health. Dr. Crumbine has received several complaints of typhoid cases not being reported. Typhoid fever is regarded as the most dangerous disease in the state. The orders for reports were made so that county health officers could investigate the source of infection and take steps to prevent the further spread of the disease from the same source. While the disease not contagious, many cases may spring from the same source. Meeting of Librarians The Kansas Librarians' association held its seventh annual convention at Newton. New officers of the association were elected as follows: President, Miss Lida Romig, Abilene; vice president, Miss Clara Francis, Toeka; second vice president, Mrs. Rosa M. Hilbard, Topek; third vice president, Mrs. Dora Renn, Lawrence; members at large, Mrs. Rebecca D. Ainer, Hiwattha, and Mrs. Nellie G. Geaty, Lawrence; treasurer, Mrs. Betia E. Brown, Salina. Kansas City, Kan. was chosen for the meeting place next year. She Kills Sixteen Rattlesnakes --- Berkman's Remark Recalled. General W. T. Sherman visited Kansas last in 1879. It is recalled that on that occasion he remarked: "I once marched to the sea with 100,000 good, marty men. I wondered what had been of them all until I came to Kansas." Six New Banks Chartered Charters were granted to six new state banks by the state charter board. Five of the new banks are capitalized at $10,000 and one at $15. New Farming Club for Boys. Another movement which ought to interest everybody in Kansas is the organization of the "Kansas Boys' Improved Farming club." In this an endeavor will be made to interest several thousand boys in working out some practical demonstrations in farming and feeding or dairying, simple problems that represent best methods recommended by the heads of departments for every farmer and feeder. Boys who join this club will receive circulars from the extension department of the agricultural college indicating four lines of simple experiments or demonstrations, and each boy may choose those that suit him best. Then when he has made his choice and notified the college he will be given further instruction, suggestion and help. There is no fee of any kind connected with this and no charge for pamphlets sent to the boys. There ought to be 10,000 members in this Kansas Boys' club. All boys who wish to become members should write to the superintendent of Agricultural College Extension of Manhattan, and membership blanks will be sent and demonstration circulars and pamphlets will be mailed immediately. Dickinson's Successful Fair The Dickinson County fair has been a success throughout and the attendance was large, considering the weather, which was very bad. The prizes given to school girls for the finest flowers and to the boys for the best corn, the free automobile rides for all the country school children and the public wedding were the chief features of the meeting. The races were excellent and some fair records were made though the track was heavy. Vaudeville was given between races and the attendants on the fair were greatly pleased with the entire programme. To Drain Farm With Tiling. Sam Ward, who lives near Tonganoxie, just across the county line in Leavenworth county, has undertaken to lay tile in such a way as to drain every part of his 200-acre farm, and ordered ten car loads of tiling. He expects to use all of this and possible to have to order two car loads more. There will be 33,500 feet of the tiling when laid and the cost will be approximately $2,800. Live Stock Prices Higher Live stock prices are getting higher and higher all the time in Western Kansas, especially for horses and mules. Ivan Fisher who has a big sales stable at Fort Collins, Col., shipped a car of mares from Norton which cost him an average of $195 per head. They are heavy animals weighing from 1,400 to 1,800 pounds each. Good mules are selling around the $200 mark. Anthony Favors Primary. Congressman D. R. Anthony of Leavenworth has written to each state officer a personal letter in an attempt to learn whether or not the present state officials, who will undoubtedly be candidates for re-election, favor the nomination of the next republican state ticket by a direct primary. Anthony is in favor of this plan and has so announced himself. Militia of 1864 to Meest. F. M. Gable of Lansing has issued a call for a meeting of the members of the Kansas State Militia of 1864 at the National hotel in Leavenworth to consider action to be taken in securi pensions for the members of the state militia who took part in the campaigns of the Civil war and against General Price's invasion of Kansas. Many Alfalfa Mills. Alfalfa meal mills are getting to the front in Northwest Kansas. The one in operation in Mankato has proved so successful that money is being liberally subscribed for the erection plants in Kirwin and Osborne. A new mill is to be built at Norton to take the place of the one destroyed by fire a few months ago. New Union Pacific Divisions. It is asserted at Salina that Salina will be a Union Pacific freight division point hereafter. It is also reported that there will be four freight division points on the line instead of three, the four being Topeka, Salina, Ellis and Sharon Springs, instead of Junction City, Ellis and Cheyenne Wells, as heretofore. Dead on Track. The body of a man was found on the Santa Fe tracks at Reading. A book found in one of the pockets directed that in case of accident to the owner, Joseph Evans of Allegan, Mich., was to be notified. The name of Charles Evans was signed in the book. In One Family Six Born in August. There is an unusual record in the family of Hugh Donly, a city letter carrier in Hiawatha. Mr. Donly has six children between the ages of one and 13 years, and all of them were born in August. There are no twins in the family, but two of the children were born on the same date, seven years apart. Mr. Donly was born July 31. This makes seven birthday anniversaries in the family within a month. The members of the family are obliged to buy 49 gifts to give to each other within this period. THE FONTANET DISASTER One Thousand Residents of the Indiana Town Made Homeless by Tuesday's Explosion. SEABCHING FOR VICTIMS AMONG DEBRIS The Death List Now Placed at 35 and injured at 600, Although the Exact Totals Will Probably Never be Known—State Militia Guarding the Town. Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 17.—The residents of this village of 1,000 people when they awoke Wednesday morning encountered a much different situation than they had been accustomed to in the past. Instead of a quiet country town and pleasant scenery to greet their eyes, desolation was at hand. Soldiers of the Indiana state militia were on hand and had stood guard all through the night. Details as to what caused the terrible catastrophe of Tuesday when the Dupont Powder mills blew up, killing probably 35 and injuring some 600 persons were lacking. No one connected with the powder company could ascribe any reason for the explosion. Several rumore were current, one of the most probable circulated, was that the machinery in the glazing mill became overheated from friction and set fire to some loose powder in the glazing mill which was the first to blow up. The other sections of the plant followed in rapid succession. A number of the people of this place were able by patching up their houses, to pass a fairly comfortable night. The remainder were accommodated with sleeping room on cots placed in tents brought here by orders of Gov. Hanly. Systematic efforts are going forth and within a short time it is thought most of the houses will be repaired in such a manner as to permit the re-occupancy of them by their tenants and owners. The officers of company B, Indiana National Guard, which was brought here early Tuesday night report that the night passed without disturbance of any kind. The soldiers were distributed so as to guard as much of the town as possible. The guardsmen were instructed to shoot at sight any attempt at looting, but no one was found doing a dastardly act of this kind. It is understood the state authorities will immediately begin an investigation of the cause of the disaster. The injured passed a fairly comfortable night and no additional deaths are reported. Systematic efforts to search for victims among the debris in the powder nills were begun Wednesday morning. Men were distributed so as to make a thorough search for further victims of the disaster Tuesday. A number of coffins were received here from Terre Haute and the bodies of those recovered will be buried at once. The total number of dead will probably never be known and it will be several days before the exact amount of property loss can be figured out. The loss to the powder company in property damage is estimated at $280,000, including 65,000 kegs of powder stored in the magazine which exploded. The property loss in the town of Fontanet will exceed $500,000. Dr. W. F. Willien, of Terre Haute, chief surgeon of the Fontanet mills of the DuPont Powder company. Wednesday compiled an official list of the known dead and seriously injured, a copy of which he forwarded to the company at Wilmington, Del. The list contains 31 dead and 20 in serious condition. Drop Fight on Kansas Liquor Law. Washington, Oct. 17.—The supreme court of the United States was informed Tuesday by counsel that a compromise would doubtless be reached in the case pending involving the constitutionality of the Kansas liquor law. It was stated that the fight to test the constitutionality of this law would be given up and that the only question to be determined in the cases filed was as to the severity of the sentences which have been imposed for violations. Cleveland Franchises Void. Cleveland, O., Oct. 17.—Judge Lawrence of the common pleas court rendered a decision Tuesday afternoon holding illegal the franchises granted for so-called 3-cent fare lines on the East side. The court held that the franchises for 3-cent lines on the West side are valid because they were granted prior to the date upon which Mayor Johnson was said to have become financially interested in the roads. A Balloon Trial Trip St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 17.--After traveling through the air a distance of almost 100 miles in three hours and ten minutes, J. C. McCoy and Captain C. De F. Chandler brought the balloon "Psyche" down to earth three miles north of Jacksonville, Ill., late Tuesday afternoon ending the first trial trip taken by the aeronauts who are to contest in the international races to be held here October 21. Favor $20,000,000 Bond Issue. Springfield, Ill., Oct. 17.—By unanimous vote the state senate adopted Wednesday a joint resolution providing for the submission to the people of a constitutional amendment for the $20,000,000 bond issue to proceed with the deep water way project. "BOO-HOO" Shouts a Spanked Baby. A Young Composer. Rachel, aged 12, wrote an composition on wild flowers in which she praised the arbutus, the liverwort, the spring beauty, the blood root, and all of the other blossoms of dell and dale. But she wrote on both sides of her sheet of paper, and when she asked her father, who was an editor, to publish her article, he called her attention to that fact. "You've written on both sides of your paper," said he. "Well," was the reply, "and don't you print on both sides of yours?" ALL THINGS IN PROPORTION. Invalid's Meal Evidently Had Not Increased Good Humor. For many weeks the irritable merchant had been riveted to his bed by typhoid fever. Now he was convalescing. He clamored for something to eat, declaring that he was starving. "To-morrow you may have something to eat," promised the doctor. The merchant realized that there would be a restraint to his appetite, yet he saw, in vision, a modest, steaming meal placed at his bedside. "Here is your dinner," said the nurse next day, as she gave the glowering patient a spoonful of tapioca pudding, "and the doctor emphasizes that everything else you do must be in the same proportion." Two hours later the nurse heard a frantic call from the bed chamber. "Nurse," breathed the man heaply, "I want to do some reading, bring me a postage stamp." HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA. Smokers Follow Fashions in the Use of Tobacco. "Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Edwin Booth," said the man with a southern accent. "That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco to-day," said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Yorkers make a fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked. And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. I have fled away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every man's trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big man's favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after a few pipefuls and go back to a popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the experience."—The New York Sun. A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy between Collier's Weekly and the Religious Press of the Country and others, including ourselves. Also regarding suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon its methods. These are his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "The religious Press owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage in showing up Collier's Weekly as the "Yell-Oh 'Man.' Would you care to use the inclosed article on the "Boo Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's successor?" "A contemporary remarks that Collier's has finally run against a solid hickory "Post" and been damaged in its own estimation to the tune of $750,000.00." "Here is a publication which has, in utmost disregard of the facts, spread broadcast damaging statements about the Religious Press and others and has suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after finding the Religious Press too quiet, and peaceful, to resent the insults, it makes the mistake of wandering into fresh field and butts its rattled head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post suddenly turns and gives it back a dose of its own medicine." "It is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheerly laugh comes from Collier's, but it cries and boo hoo like a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00 to soothe its tender, lacerated feelings." "Thank Heaven it has at last struck a man with 'back bone' enough to call a spade a "spade" and who believes in telling the whole truth without fear or favor." Perhaps Collier's with its "utmost disregard for the facts," may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless it is on file in our office and is only one of a mass of letters and other data, newspaper comments, etc., denouncing the "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume is so large that a man could not well go thru it under half a day's steady work. The letters come from various parts of America. Usually a private controversy is not interesting to the public, but this is a public controversy. Collier's has been using the "yellow" methods to attract attention to itself, but jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling "Look at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a "Holler Than Thou" attack on the Religious Press and, on medicine. We leave it to the public now, as we did when we first resented Collier's attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. We likewise leave it to the public to say whether Collier's, by its own policy and meth- The "Mound City." St. Louis rejoices in the sobriquet of Mound City from the fact that the original settlers found there many elevations which it is supposed were relics of that strange people who dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and are known to modern times only as the Mound Builders. No adequate explanation has yet been found of their strange mode of leaving memorials of their existence. The limestone bluffs on which a part of St. Louis stands furnish a solid foundation for the business buildings. Held Up. "Sto!" shouted the man on the country road, holding up a warning hand. Muttering something about rura'ops, the automobilist obeyed. "...in around and come back to town with me," said the stranger. "You were going at least 35 miles an hour." "You're a constable, I suppose," said the automobilist, with a covert sneer, when they had reached the village. "Me?" replied the passenger. "No, I'm a farmer and had to come into town when all the teams was busy. Nice growing weather? Thanks. Goodby." Ensuing comment is purposefully omitted.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Belling a Rat. You have probably read or heard that the best way to rid a house of rats is to catch one and fasten a bell about its neck. A boy in Delaware tried the experiment two months ago. He was badly bitten in making the bell fast, but he turned the rat loose and expected the tinkling of that bell would have great results. It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore it was constantly on the move all night, and the tinkling bell kept the family awake, and in the next the sounds brought scores of new rats to the house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the music. Had the boy tied a harmonica to another rat's tail, the rodents would have had a dance every night. She Was Willing "Yes," says the husband, "I have consented to accept the nomination." "I am so glad the party is beginning to recognize your merit," beams the wife. "Now my dear," the husband continues, "you know that political affairs are not love feasts, by any means. You must expect to see me vilified and attacked in a scandalous manner. No doubt the opposition will try to dig up sensational rumors about me, and all that sort of thing, but you must not——" "Well," she interrupts, "I am really glad of it. You have always been strangely silent about whether or not you ever were engaged to anyone before you met me." ods, has not made itself more ridiculous than any comment of ours could make it. Does Collier's expect to regain any self-inflicted loss of prestige by demonstrating thru suits for damages, that it can be more artful in evading liability for libels to the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to silence the popular indignation, reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It can not postpone the public judgment against it. That great jury, the Public, will hardly blame us for not waiting until we get a petit jury in a court room, before denouncing this prodigal tractor of institutions founded and fostered either by individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects are results obtained from the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and a little salt; Postum absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent of New Orleans Molasses. The art of preparing these simple elements in a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and flavor, required some work and experience to acquire. Now, when any publication goes far enough out of its way to attack us because our advertising is "medical," it simply offers a remarkable exhibition of ignorance or worse. We do claim physiological or bodily results of favorable character following the adoption of our suggestions regarding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which may not be keeping the individual in good health. We have no advice to offer the perfectly healthful person. His or her health is evidence in itself that the beverages and foods used exactly fit that person. Therefore, why change? But to the man or woman who is ailing, we have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. In the palpably ignorant attack on us in Collier's, appeared this statement,—"One widely circulated paragraph labors to induce the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an operation in appendicitis. This is lying and potentially deadly lying." In reply to this exhibition of—well let the reader name it, the Postum Co., says: Let it be understood that appendicitis results from long continued disturbance in the intestines, caused primarily by undigested starchy food, The Way of the Child. A small boy who had recently passed his fifth birthday was riding in a car with his mother, when they were asked the customary question: "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. The boy sat quite still as if pondering over some question, and then, concluding that full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car: "And mother's 31!" A Definition of Success. How have the hypothetical scientists and the exponents of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of doubt broadcast in the world? The real scientists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word; they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious manifestations of the Divine creative power. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspiration, have written a great many books and some of them have won what the world at large lightly calls fame. According to the ordinary measures that are applied in such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of humanity in some form or other. If no such benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success is not equal to that achieved by the direst poverty and the deepest ignorance. — Joel Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine. WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD. Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested Bet on "Wing Ting." Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo., won $1,000 at the Louisville, Ky., race meeting a short time ago as the result of a "hunch." Mr. Spence has a large breeding stable of "runners" near Mexico, and attends all the big racing events in the country. Not long since he was in Louisville and entered the betting ring to see what odds were being offered on the various entries. He found that Joaquin was the favorite at even money, and pulled his wallet from his pocket, intending to bet on that horse. His attention was attracted by something that fell from his wallet to the ground, and he stooped and picked it up. It was a Chinese laundry ticket. He looked at the "books" again and found that there was an entry with a Chinese name, Wing Ting, at ten to one. That set tiled it, for he considered he had received a "hunch" that could not be overlooked. Wing Ting won handily. Needless to say, those who backed the favorite considered Spence the seventh son of the seventh son—Kansas City Star. such as white bread, potatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals and such. Starchy food is not digested in the upper stomach but passes on into the duodenum, or lower stomach and intestines, where, in a healthy individual, the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood. But if the powers of digestion are weakened, a part of the starchy food will lie in the warmth and moisture of the body and decay, generating gases and irritating the mucous surfaces until under such conditions the whole lower part of the alimentary canal, including the colon and the appendix, becomes involved. Disease sets up and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When the symptoms of the trouble make their appearance, would it not be good, practical, common sense, to discontinue the starchy food which is causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in the process of manufacture? This is identically the same form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly digested. Now, human food is made up very largely of starch and is required by the body for energy and warmth. Naturally, therefore, its use should be continued, if possible, and for the reasons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. In connection with this change of food to bring relief from physical disturbances, we have suggested washing out the intestines to get rid of the immediate cause of the disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where the disease has lain dormant and the abuse continued too long, until apparently the knife will avail. But it is a well-established fact among the best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited, that preventative measures are far and away the best. Are we to be condemned for suggesting a way to prevent disease by following natural methods and for perfecting a food that contains no "medicine" and produces no "medicinal effects" but which has guided literally thousands of persons from sickness to health? We have received during the years past upwards of 25,000 letters from people who have been either helped or made entirely well by following our suggestions, and they are simple. If coffee disagrees and causes any of the ailments common to some coffee users quit it and take on Postum. If white bread, potatoes, rice and other starch foods make trouble, quit and use Grape-Nuts food which is largely predigested and will digest, nourish and strengthen, when other forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense. "There's a Reason for Postum and Grape-Nuts. Postum Cereal Co. Ltd. ———— mm, - - - UKANS 2 RUE WN.

We ask our readers that in all fairness to us and the merchants who advertise in the Searchlight to trade with the business men whose place of business is advertised in the columns of the Searchlight. Do this won't you. It costs you nothing more. AT THE CRAWFORD THEATER. The Searchlight has added the theater column to its pages, and will endeavor each week to give its readers the news of coming good attractions at the Wichita opera houses. EDITOR. What may be termed a society event will take place at the Crawford, matinee and night, on Saturday, October 26th. when "Are You a Mason?" a comedy with international reputation, will play an engagement at the above theater. This play needs no heralding, as it is well known the world over as being one of the best farce comedies ever written, and it is still enjoying the fruits of the reputation it has so well merited. The play tells a story of two men who have posed as being members of the Masonic order, merely to furnish themselves with an excuse to spend their evenings away from home. The complication that arises can readily be realized, and laughter is the result from the rise of the curtain on the first act until it falls on the finale. You will miss a treat if you fail to see this performance. Exclusive Views. The magnitude, novelty and gorgeousness of the Elks' parade and decorations at Philadelphia are admirably reproduced in Lyman H. Howe's new program to be seen in the Crawford on Monday, November 11. sA Mr. Howe was so fortunate as to be granted special facilities to photograph these scenes from the official reviewing stand, the audience will see the parade from the same commanding viewpoint from which Mayor Reyburn saw it. Another picture which could also be secured only through special concessions granted by the minister of state railways of Austria shows Switzerland as seen from the front of a locomotive. The crowning feature of the new program, also, could be secured again only through most important concessions granted by no less authority than the lords of the admiralty, England. Naturally this great series can be seen only at this exhibition, as Mr. Howe controls the sole merican rights. It reveals the complex machinery and the splendid majesty of modern battleships as it never has been revealed before. They are shown plowing the deep at full speed—the very personification of terrible strength. They are not "painted ships on a painted ocean"—but the real mighty engines of battle of the year 1907—hurling the deadly torpedoes, whose paths are cleary marked in the tremendous machines—all of them. In "The Rollicking Girl" the musical comedy in which Snitz Edwards, the popular eccentric German comedian, is to be seen at the Crawford Monday, October 21. there is a story which, while it may bear resemblance to a hundred others, is still worthy of being told. It is of a young girl who runs away from home on the eve of her wedding, as she wishes to become an actress, and the attractions of the footlights are too strong to be withstood. She comes to Vienna to seek her fortune on the stage and fortunately secures lodging at the home of one, Schmaltz, who is a theatrical wigmaker, and who is amazed at her apparent talent. He hurries her off to the theater at which he has been told. or we when he has a pain, and they arrive there just in time for her to take the place of the leading lady, who is in a tantrum, and refuses to go on. Of course, she makes a sensational hit. During the action of the play she is obliged to fight a stage duel and the deposed leading lady contrives that she may be wounded. She is taken back to the home of Schmaltz, where her patient lover appears, and who nurses her back to health, and in the end they are married and all ends happily. It is a story which has enabled the author and composer to supply many amusing incidents and a wealth of tuneful music. In addition to Mr. Edwards, others in the company are Lila Blow, Paul Decker, Virginia Reid, Bessie Phillips, Louise Sanford, and naturally being a musical comedy, there is a chorus composed of attractive young women who can both sing and dance. "Rafferty's Flirtation." which is described as a triple laugh show, will be presented for the first time here at the Crawford Tuesday, October 22. This play bids fair to give its auditors an enjoyable evening, as the cast includes some clever people, and the play is said to be really funny. mong the prominent character delineations which keep the fun uproarious are Rafferty and O'Malley, newly made millionaires, who have difficulty in retaining their fortune, owing to the vast number of ludicrous propositions offered them.

Oh, I was so happy before Love came— As gay and as free As an ecstasy— But Love came along with a lilt and a song. And beckoned me gaily to join her play. I ran to her side and I took her hand And we were as gay As a summer's day. Hot! tender we sped, with the blue o'er- head. As joyous as ever were hearts, I know. Oh, I was so happy when Love was here— But Love stole away At the close of day And left me alone with a heart of stone— Alone in a world that is dull and cold. I cannot go back to the care-free days, As gay and as free As an estasy, Ere Love came along with a lifting song And beckoned me gaily to join her play! Oh Love, haste thee back by the way thou sped And come to me here With a lover's cheer— The world is as stone to a heart alone When Love has made entry—and flown away! Splinters of Thought A good lively ram can make a lot of trouble for two lovers sitting on a log. The manufacturer believes in the biblical mandate that admonishes every man to give ten per cent of his worldly goods to the poor—inventor. The average author never did take kindly to the idea of dying to become famous. The city papers are advising the public that rents will increase in price next spring. This is quite as honored an observance as the yearly notice that the peach erop has been frosted. A friend of mine tells of a friend of his who thought "carte-blanche" meant a little white cart. Tell everybody about your joys, but keep your troubles to yourself. A man never realizes how fast the world wags along, until he is confronted once more with that last winter's overcoat. Sometimes a little bit of a woman can start an awful big story. "The difference between a man who is a gentleman and a man who is not," says a philosopher, "is something like the difference between poetry and prose." And the difference between a gentleman and a "gent" is much the same as the difference between some poetry, so called, and the real thing. The woman who is so set against low-necked dresses she wouldn't think of wearing one, probably a wen on her neck. The wolf never comes to the back door! There is always truth enough to go round without stretching it. Marrages are made in heaven, but there is always a garden exit leading down to—the divorce court. A man might as well give himself his own money as to play poker with his son-in-law! The Storm's Ravages The following descriptive article recently appeared in the Loup City (Neb.)

The top part of the car- rot is scooped out, pierced for a string and hung up, as shown in Fig. By Prof. H. G. Phelps. | Whatever the crop in whose cultt- vation the farmer is engaged, the care and preparation of the soil is the first and most important matter that com- mands his attention. Having for some years past annually mixed and pre- pared for use some 15 or 20 tons of chemical fertilizers for the improve- ment of the soil of whose cultivation I have had charge, and noting the marked increase in the cost of, the same, or of some portions thereof, I have come to be more and more thor- ‘oughly convinced of the necessity of resorting to some other means to ef- fect the needed results. With nitrate of soda up to $52 per ton, an advance of ten or twelve dollars within the past few years, it is manifest that the ordinary sources of nitrogen supply ‘are becoming exhausted. Muriate of potash, however, has only slightly in- ‘creased and phosphate is actually low- er, showing that the mineral manures still hold out. It has been estimated by scientific investigators that the natural supply of phosphori¢ acid and potash now remaining in the soll is equal to the production of 500 annual crops, while the nitrogen supply is sufficient for only about 100. In years past the farmers of the west got rid of their manure by draw- ing the same out onto the ice of the rivers in the winter, that it might be carried away down the stream in the spring, never thinking it desirable to apply it to the land. Now after many years of continual cropping with wheat or corn, they find it necessary not only to save and apply their manure, but also to buy some com- mercial fertilizer. Prof. Snyder, of the Minnesota experiment station, has shown by experiments that in eight years of successive cropping with wheat there was a loss to the soil of 1,400 pounds of nitrogen, though the Wheat itself took but 300 pounds. When he raised wheat but five years out of the eight, with one year in clover and two in oats, there was a nitrogen loss of only 450 pounds. By growing corn, oats, and clover for three years of the eight, and making two applications of stable manure—a light coat each time—the loss of ni- trogen from the soil was reduced to 100 pounds. Thus it is demonstrated that the continual growing of the ame crop tends to rapid depletion of the soil, while a rotation in which some leguminous crop is introduced operates to check the same. The cot ton fields of the south are a forcible filustration of the deteriorating effect of the continual production of one crop, as well as the wheat fields of the west. What we need to understand is, that the stored-up elements of fertility in the soil are to be regarded as so much potential energy, a portion of which, by our cultivation processes, is con verted into active energy, and that we have so managed the soil, in fact that a large portion of this active en ergy has been wasted. We must therefore, seek to adopt such proc ‘esses as will conserve and preserve this stored-up energy, except such a: is necessarily. used in crop production We know now that there are other than mere chemical processes goin: on in the soil. There are bacteria processes that play an important par in this branch of natural economy and we must so shape our methods 0 1, In Figures 2 and 3 are shown the methods of scooping out the carrot and piercing for the string. Fig 4 shows how the carrot will grow if the hollow is kept full of water. cultivation as to get the best advan- tage of these latter processes, and this we can do by growing to a%greater ex- tent what are known as the legumin- ous crops, such as clover, cowpeas, soy beans, winter vetch, etc. There is a class of bacteria known as “nitrogen fixers,” rather than gath- erers, which take the free nitrogen from the air and store ft up. It is through the operation of bacteria that the potential energy in the soil is con- verted into plant food for the use of the growing crop. The conditions are most favorable for their work in warm weather and it is in such weather that the loosening of the soil by cultivation should be carried on, in order to best facilitate their operation. It shou'd be remembered that humus is the basis of all the valuable nitrogen in the soil, and that the more humus we get into the soil the more potential ni- trogen there will be therein. The best farmer, on the whole, is he who most effectually provides the conditions that convert inert into active nitrogen. These conditions are furnished most completely by the application most completely by the application of stable manure. in prop- er quantity and in the _prop- er manner. As it cannot generally be in sufficient quantity other agencies must be resorted to; but, owing to the increased expense of commercial fer- tilizer rich in the nitrogenous ele- ments, it is necessary to secure the ni- trogen in some other way, purchasing only the needed amount of mineral fertilizer. To this end the growing of clover and other leguminous crops, as has been said, should be practiced more and more extensively. VALUE OF THE PURE BRED RAM ‘The greatest mistake one ever makes in breeding any class of live- stock is to use a male of mixed or cross breeding, no matter how good an individual he may be. The best quality an animal can possess is pre- potency, the ability to fix his charac- teristics upon his offspring. No mat- ter what good qualities he may pos- sess, if he has not the power to trans- mit these good qualities to his off- spring, he is of no value as a breed- ing animal, and we have learned by experience to look for this prepotency in, pure-bred registered animals. By a long series of. breeding and selec: tion there has become fixed in these pure-bred animals the ability to trans mit the desirable qualities that we want in domestic animals, and if we want these desirable qualities, we must look first to the ability of the animal to transmit these qualities to his offspring, and you need never look for this ability in an animal of mixed breed, because experience shows in 99 cases out of a hundred that such animals have'no prepotency; they are likely to produce animals inferior to the common ewes you would use in these cases and are also likely _ tc breed back to some former unim proved type. There is a very strong reason, then, for using a pure-bred ram in these cases and for using nc ‘other kind. Are They Lousy.—When your hens appear droopy in cold weather, look for the large gray louse on the head and neck. Melted lard applied in small quantities is a good remedy. Timothy Hay rahe Belg BBE!

CORN FODDER AS FEED. . It Has a High Value If It Is Properly Cared For. The value of corn fodder when properly cared for can hardly be over estimated. In my several years of ex- perience in feeding stock I have not found anything that equals it as an all purpose feed. A great deal of complaint has been heard to the ef- fect that it is difficult to persuade stock to eat corn fodder, but I be leve that if we could go to the feed lots of the people who make these complaints we could find that the fod- der they were giving to their stock was half decayed and scattered here and there through the mud and ma- nure; perhaps there may be a few hogs. running through it, trampling it into the mud before the cattle reach it. From observation, contin- ues the writer in Farm Life, I would say that almost three-fourths of the farmers feed their fodder in just this way. ‘The cost of farm labor has necesst- tated greater care in the saving of feed and getting it to the stock in such a condition as to obtain the greatest benefits from it,so it is well worth considering this matter. ‘As to the fodder itself, it is evi- dent that the best can be produced from our earliest corn. It can then be cut before there is any danger of frost, for frost bitten fodder is utterly worthless. ‘There seems to be a great differ- ence of opinion as to just when corn should be cut for fodder. I prefer it a little green to befhg overripe. I put it in small stacks to cure, and when well cured; husk the corn and bind the fodder into large bundles, which can be easily handled and stored away to be used as wanted. ANIMAL MANAGEMENT, mood, reastabley Saget (ane | Natt corn with the grain ration. ‘Teach the colts to walk fast. The walking gait is the best gait. Be sure that the pigs have clean, ary beds in their sleeping places. Clover hay and alfalfa where It can‘be grown is the best of roughage for ewes. It pigs are obliged to sleep in damp beds, especially as the cool nights come, they will not thrive. If it is not already done, separate the fattening pigs into different feed- ing lots, according to size and age: Do: not keep swine on one pasture until it is eaten bare. Change as soon as eaten down and allow a fresh start. ‘The dairyman who fs careful in the treatment of his cattle will be.a com- petent manager in other respects, and you will not hear him complaining of “pad luck.” ‘Arrange the fodder so that it can be handled economically during the winter. The coarse should be fed with fine to keep up a balance of the ra tion. It takes much patience to teach a horse seven or eight years old to do new kinds of work. But let patience have her perfect work; the horse is not so much to blame after all. Provide some succulent foods for the winter. Store the roots safely to preserve them for winter use— Farm Journal. Keeping Sheep in Pasture. In keeping our sheep in pasture, we use woven wire fencing. Our sheep have always been easily controlled, never having learned to be unruly. A woven wire fence with wires close to- gether, with wire 80 Inches high and with one barbed wire on top and six tnches above top wire, with posts 30 feet apart, makes a good fence. If other stock besides sheep run in the pasture have another barbed wire on top. Never have slack wires. Have the end posts anchored soundly and have the wires drawn tight. locks differ greatly in regard to fences. If the farmer never has poor fences he will find his sheep the easiest stock to control on the farm, "FAST WALKINK HORSES. They Can Be Trained to Rapid Galt When Colts. ‘The fast walking horse is made in breaking the eolt.- He usually wants to go too fast and is held down until he comes to believe that his gait is to be a dragging walk. If the colt is trained to walk up briskly but not trot; if he is never allowed to trot until he is thoroughly trained to walk ‘as fast as he can without trotting, there will be no trouble about his walking in after life. ‘When a colt that is being trained begins to lag, touch him gently with ‘the whip to let him know that he must move up a little more briskly, says the Agricultural Epitomist, but do not strike him hard enough to hurt and excite him. Make him keep on walking as fast as he can and the habit will soon become a fixed one and his value will be increased 25 per cent. as far'as farm work is concern- ed and when ready for market, will bring a price considerably in excess of another animal of the same breed- ing that cannot be made to walk briskly. A slow walking team makes work drag in spite of every effort of the driver. Farm work must be done with the horses at a walk and a slight dit- ference in the rate at which the team gets over the ground makes a great difference in the work accomp- lished, ‘The great trouble with most teams is that they are allowed to get into the habit of dragging along at the rate of about two miles an hour, even when going unloaded and this habit becomes fixed and impossible to rem- edy, for the farm horse that gets in the notion of going slowly will poke along in spite of any urging that may be used. ‘There is much farm work that ts very light on the team, Cultivating is not heavy work and drawing a mow- ing machine does not call for more than a small: fraction of power. a horse may exert without injury. Hauling loads to market is not heavy work when the roads are good and all these ginds of work should be done with the team walking at a rate that would keep a man on a comfortable dog-trot all the time. WHY HE GREW SHEEP. One Farmer Declares They Return Largest Profit. Recently Mr. Arbuckle in the Plant- er gave some excellent reasons why be grows sheep. Among other things he said that they brought him annu- ally a larger per cent. on the invest- ment in them than in anything else on the farm, in both mutton and wool. Here is another strong point he makes: “No animal on eatth can reclaim wornout lands like sheep. Sheep choose the high, dry places to Ue on at night, ‘There they leave their droppings, that pound for pound are worth more tan any other plant food on earth, These very high places are the poorest, worst-washed, barest places. Don’t you see what a flock of sheep will do? They will during the day gather the grass in the val- leys and hollows, where it grows lux- urlantly.” I was once walking over a farm with a man who remarked that he had never seen such a sod on hills as he saw on this farm, Kicking over a pile of sheep droppings that lay in a clump of dark-green blue grass, I said, “Here is the secret.” Nothing equals sheep for reclaiming land. In England I have seen 20 sheep to the acre, grazing over a sod that would put our best Kentucky sod to shame. We want sheep to clean up these weeds that are crowding everything else out. Sheep were not made to live on weeds, but with every meal they will take up a goodly supply as a sort of dessert. I watched a lamb one afternoon for one hour, and in that hour I listed 16 different kinds of weeds that I saw her bite off. The heads of the oxeye, ragweed and car- rot that she ate in this hour would certainly have run up close to 100.

Country Fair the Place to See It at Its Best. If you would see a horse strap- ped, booted, braced and geared to the limit, you must seek such a track as you see at the old-time country fair. Here comes an awk- ward flea-bitten gray which never went under 2:50 in his life. He is hobbled and checked and goggled, and hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and crosswise until there is more har- ness than horse. You wonder how his driver ever got him into this riz- ging, and how he will get bim out again without cutting him free with a jackknife.

Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause of Liberty. “When the university opened last autumn I started to work agqin among the soldiers,” said the young woman. “As you know, the revolu- tionists are at present working very hard to win over the army, and one of the means is to talk freedom di- reetly to the soldiers. For this girls have been found to be more effective than men; the young peasant soldiers are more willing to listen to girls, and are far readier to protect them from arrest. So all over Russia hun- dreds and hundreds of girls are now nightly meeting with groups of sol- diers, in working men's homes and in barracks.

ARKED IN KANSAS HARVEST FIELDS Bad Become a Successful Evangelist in Methodist Church, But Felt Impelled to Return and Serve Out His Sentence Although Denying His Guilt of the Crime Charged. Chicago, Oct. 17.—Immaculately attired as a minister of the gospel, aanger entered the office of the Indiana state prison at Michigan City, Ed., Wednesday, and declared that he was an escaped convict and had come to serve the rest of his sentence. "My name is Allen J. Lawrence, and escaped from this prison in September 1905," he said. Then he told Warden Ried his strange story. He traced his wanderings in the harvest fields of Kansas and Nebraska, where he sought only to keep from too close association with his fellow men, lest his secret be discovered. He described an accidental visit to a revival meeting on the prairie, where, in the flickering light of torches pitched in front of the Prairie Schooner of a wandering missionary, there was opened the vision of comfort which came with a beef in God. Then he told of his decision to reach the gospel and of the success which had attended his efforts as a theodist evangelist. And at last, his voice broken with tears, he told the lashing of his conscience which curred him to reveal his true identity and return to the prison from which he had died. "It was hard," he sobbed, "but I have won and I will serve the service which man's law has imposed on me, even though I am not guilty the crime for which I am being punished." Lawrence was sentenced in April, 2006, from LaPorte, "Ind., where he had been employed as a laborer. He was und guilty of attacking a girl and was sentenced to serve from two to eight years. After he had been in the prison less than five months he was made a "trusty." Almost immediately he escaped. He assumed the name of James Williams. His wife, whose belief in his innocence had never faltered until he declared, then that if he had really been gallitess he would not have run away. She applied for a divorce immediately and it was grant- LINCOLN'S BODYGUARD. Kansans Historical Society Wants the Names of Kansans Who Were Members. Topeka, Oct. 17.—The state historical society is trying to get a full roster of the frontier guard, composed chiefly of Kansans, who made up the volunteer bodyguard for President Lincoln at the outbreak of the Civil war. Many Kansans were in Washington at the outbreak of the war. When Fort Sumter was attacked these men formed themselves into a company and under the leadership of "Jim" Jane marched to the White house and acted as a bodyguard. They camped in the east wing of the executive mansion until ample provision was made for the protection of the president. The state historical society wants the roster for this company for its rec A Western Pioneer Dead. Chicago, Oct. 17 — Jesse Holladay, 12 years old, a pioneer of California, but in his latter years a resident of Chicago, died Tuesday at the Lexington hotel. He was associated with his brother Benjamin, in the operation of the "Pony Express," which was for many years the only means of carrying the malls across the western plains. They were also the owners of a stage coach line which, prior to the advent of the railroads, furnished practically the only means of transit to the Far West. Mr. Holladay and his brother were important factors in the development of California. For many years they owned a steamship line flying between San Francisco and Honolulu. Two Captains Under Arrest San Francisco, Oct. 17.—The transporter Logan Tuesday brought as prisoners Capt. James B. Lindsay and Capt. Henry S. Wygart, both of the Thirteenth regiment. While the Logan was lying in quarantine at Marveles near Manila the two officers managed in a fist encounter and their commanding officer Col. Loughborough ordered them both under arrest, both officers refused to disclose their reason for their encounter. Notorious Footpad Free San Francisco, Oct. 17.—After seven years of hard servitude in San Quenan penitentiary, Simon Munckros von Petersa, seion of a noble Austrian family and a notorious footpad who terrorized San Francisco and the suburban towns in the spring of 1900, has been freed through the instrumentality of the Austrian government.

One Man Killed and Many Injured When a Car Went Over an Embankment. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 17.—One man was killed, six persons were dangerously and probably 25 others slightly hurt Wednesday when an Elberon avenue car crowded with passengers, jumped the track and went over a 25-foot embankment at Mount Hope, in the western end of the city. Attorney Harry H. Bausch was taken from the wreckage badly injured and died before he could be taken to the hospital. It is feared that some of the injured may also die. The Elberon avenue line skirts the southern section of Price Hill, having a steep grade around Mount Hope. As the car was coming down this grade the motorman lost control of the car, which jumped the track soon afterwards, apparently striking a bad rail, going clear across the street and over the bank. It landed upside down at the foot, the heavy trucks crashing through the car, a number of those most seriously hurt being caught inside. Only three or four of the passengers jumped before the loaded car went over the brink, and nearly every one on board was more or less seriously hurt. The police presented removal of the wreck until photographs could be taken and other data secured, showing the cause of the accident. DISCUSSING LADING BILLS. Interstate Commerce Commission Hearing Arguments in Washington for a Uniform Bill. Washington, Oct. 17.—When the hearing at the interstate commerce commission in the matter of putting into effect upon the railroads of the United States, the proposed uniform bill of lading, framed by the shipping and railroad interests was continued Wednesday there was a large attendance of representatives of the shipping, banking and railroad interests. All of these interests are being given an opportunity to present their views on the subject in order that an instrument which will meet the requirements of all interests concerned may be put into operation at the beginning of the new year. Considerable opposition to the proposed lading bill in its present shape was developed and if the commission accepts the views of those who already have been heard a new instrument will be perfected or the one already proposed will be materially modified. Wednesday's programme included arguments of representatives of both the commercial interests and the railroads. With a Team of Polar Bears. New York, Oct. 17—Captain Amundsen, the Arctic explorer who arrived Tuesday on the steamship Oscar II, said he will make an attempt to reach the North Pole in 1910. He announced that he is having four big polar bears trained to haul sleds and intends to use them in the far North. He said also that he and his friends expected to petition President Roosevelt and the United States government to allow his vessel, the Gjoa, in which he navigated the northwest passage in 1904, to be the first to pass through the Panama canal upon its completion. The Gjoa was formerly a whaling vessel and is now undergoing repairs in the Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco. Protecting Soldiers Pensions. Grand Island, Neb., Oct. 17.—A temporary writ was granted Tuesday by Judge Mullin on behalf of the inmates of the soldiers home here against the state board of public lands and buildings restraining the board from collecting any part of the pension money of the inmates. The board recently passed an order collecting a certain per cent of the pensions of all soldiers over $12 a month. The petition filed Tuesday says such action is equivalent to taking property without due process of law. Storm in Southern Europe. Paris, Oct. 17.—Southern Europe is in the grasp of a tremendous storm, accompanied by torrential rains. This, coming on the heels of unprecedented rainfalls and floods of the past three weeks, is causing very great distress. The storm area extends from Morocco northward over Portugal, Spain and Southern France. Warships off the African coast and the Spanish peninsula have sought shelter. Will Sue Grain Dealers. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 17. — Suits against most of the big grain dealers and elevators in Kansas City, Kan., are to be filed in the Wyandotte county courts within a short time to prevent the deduction by elevators of 100 pounds of grain from each car. The suits will be brought in the name of the state with Fred S. Jackson, attorney general, as one of the complainants. Small Says he is Still President. Chicago, Oct. 17.—Sylvester J Small, the "suspended" president of the Commercial telegraphers union, who arrived in Chicago from New York Tuesday, declared that he is still president of the union notwithstanding the action of the executive board in ousting him.

Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells.

Didn't Need Cyclopedias The canvasser for a cyclopedia came to the home of a colonel, whose record he had carefully studied before his visit. The colonel was especially proud of some of his sons, so the canvasser began with: "Those are very fine boys of yours, colonel." "They are," replied the colonel. "I reckon you are ready to buy anything those boys want?" "I am so," said the father of the fine boys. "Well, then, let me sell you this cyclopedia. There's nothing will do your sons so much good." But the colonel looked at him agast. "Why, them lads of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride mules!" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Cats as Plague Preventive. An Italian correspondent of the North China Daily News writes: "The newspapers have latterly been full of all sorts of suggestions for the stamping out of plague. For instance, never kill rats; if you do the fatal rat flea may be driven to feed on you. Also, compel each householder to keep cats. In fact, let the cult of the cat as it prevailed in ancient Egypt be revived in India. Plenty of cats, no rats." Deafness Cannot Be Cured Deafness cannot be solved by inlay techniques, because the ear is only one way to deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the ear, and it is caused by the tube of the ear you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, the tube will not be out of ten are caused by Catarh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Wagner as a Curative Agent. Vernon Lee has told somewhere the story of the marvelous effects of Wagner on a headache. One does, after a time, succumb to what is a kind of hypnotism; the sound seems almost to clear the air, or at least to lull one into a kind of dream in which only the sense of hearing exists. Bush Over Buried Treasure. There is a tradition in Germany that it was customary in the Middle Ages to put an elderberry plant over buried treasure. A farmer at Oelsdorf while plowing close to such a bush unearthed a vessel containing 2,300 silver coins of the eleventh century. With a smooth iron and Denance Starch, you can launder your shirrwalst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

PUTNAM FADELESS DYES GIVING HIM A CHANCE. Surely Time for Hubby to Do a Lively Sidestep. Mrs. Wilson's husband was often obliged to go to New York on business, and frequently did not reach his home until the arrival of the midnight train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the habit of sleeping peacefully at these times without fear, but a number of burglaries in the neighborhood during one of her husband's trips to New York had disturbed her calm. On the night of his return Mr. Wilson was stealing carefully up the front stairs, as was his wont on such occasions, so that his wife would not be waked, when he heard her voice, high and strained: "I don't know whether you are my husband or a burglar," came the excited tones, "but I am going to be on the safe side and shoot, so if you are Henry you'd better get out of the way."-Youth's Companion.

EAST COLUMB STYLE'S USED DELICIOUSLY Scripture Authority:—2 Samuel 12:1-23. SERMONETTE. ```markdown ``` Sin, however great, is as nothing when the forging grace of God is taken into account. "Where sin abounds, grace doth much more abound." It is an awful thing to be a great sinner, but there is a more awful thing, and that is for the sinner to know no repentance. David sinned, Oh, so grievously, committing almost every sin in the decalogue, but he repented most gloriously, and herein is to be found the bright side of this dark picture. Out of the depths into which his sin had cast him David looked up into the face of a forgiving God and found help. And notice how his sense of guilt shuts out every one but God. "Against thee, thee only, have I sinned." This was not literally true, neither did David mean it so. But what he did mean was that sin when committed is first of all and above all committed against God. Such consciousness of the relation of the soul to God is the evidence of true repentance. To realize that first of all the sin has been committed against God and that it is there that the soul must first come for forgiveness and cleansing prepares and fits the soul for the further steps of true repentance, which are open confession, as complete restoration as is possible to those wronged, and reconciliation with man as well as God. True repentance also means a turning from sin, or as the little girl put it: Feeling bad enough to quit. Yes, David's sin was great, but his repentance was great, also. And herein, I am persuaded, was one of the elements of his character which made him a man "after God's own heart." It was because of his desperate need that he could in faith claim so much of God. As Christ said, in rebuke to the self-righteous Pharisee when the sinful woman came weeping, washing his feet with her tears and wiping them with the hairs of her head: "Her sins are many, are forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. If man is a great sinner, God has provided a greater Saviour, whose "blood cleaneth from ALL sin." The sum of human guilt is never equal to the sum of the Divine mercy. Paul, the apostle, saw himself the chiefest of sinners, but at the same time he saw that Christ was "able to save unto the uttermost." This, then, is ever the bright side of the picture of human guilt: Sin vanishing before the cleansing power of the blood of Christ. THE STORY. THOU art the man!" The words rang out clear and distinct, filling all the great audience room of the palace. With finger pointed in the direction of the startled king the prophet Nathan stood. His stern face and tense hearing betokened the towering moral strength of the man of God in that trying hour. In obedience to the command of God he had come to bring King David face to face with his awful sins. And notwithstanding the possible danger to himself as a result of his unwelcome message, yet he delayed not but boldly entered into the presence of the king and told his parable about the rich man who had taken the one little ewe lamb of his poor neighbor, notwithstanding the rich abundance of flocks and herds with which he had been blessed. And the king had listened with rising wrath. Perhaps the burden of guilt in his own heart made him the less tolerant, and as the prophet ended his story he thundered: "As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die." Then it was that the prophet, drawing himself to his full height and pointing his finger at the king, cried, with intense earnestness: "Thou art the man!" The king recoiled as though struck, his face grew ashen and his form trembled as though he would fall. "The man shall surely die!"—"Thou art the man!" He had pronounced the judgment upon his own head. He grasped the side of the throne to steady himself, and with bowed head and averted face he listened while Nathan reviewed all the black record which he had written against his life. He was all true. He did not seek to deny it or palliate his conduct. He had kept these things hidden in his heart during all these months. He had thought that his secret was safe with the few confidential friends; and he had persuaded himself that it was a closed incident. But he had not reckoned God into the account, and lo and behold the awful record of sin which he had been trying to forget was suddenly spread before him. He sank into his chair and buried his face in his hands. How long he sat thus he knew not, but when he looked up the prophet had gone, and he found himself alone. Alone! No not alone, for where there is sinful heart willing to hear the accusing voice of God, there is God present to deal in love and mercy with that soul. And there God was that day. Not as king but as guilty sinner did David meet God. Stripped of kingly robes and position of state, separated from his riches and power he stood a naked soul before the searching eye of God. Ah, how black now did his sin appear unto him. Ah, who would have thought that the first misstep into the pleasures of sin could have plunged him so low? Was it possible that this was David who had professed so much before his people? Was this the David who only yesterday had carried out his formal obligations before the Lord in the sight of all the people? Was this the David who had established the ark in its place in the tabernacle in Jerusalem, and had then been filled with the ambition to build a temple for the Lord? Upon the ground before his throne he threw himself in his anguish of soul. "Have mercy upon me, O God," was all he could cry. Was there forgiveness enough in heaven to compass the enormity of his sin? How dark the way seemed? Would God answer? Dare he throw himself utterly upon God and his mercy? He had stolen another man's wife, and then to cover up his sin he had killed that man. He was worthy of death. Dare he let God do with him as justice demanded? Many a man in the kingdom had been judged worthy of death and been Filled who had not done as wickedly as he. Why should he ask or expect any less sentence? Yea, and had he not pronounced sentence upon himself when in answer to the prophet Nathan's story he had said: "The man that hath done this thing shall surely die." So the struggle went on in the heart of David as the succession of barriers of the will were broken down and true repentance brought him to the point where he was willing to cast himself utterly upon the mercy and justice of God. True repentance never seeks to make conditions. It seeks not to excuse of palliate the sin. And at last when David had given up utterly and was willing if need be to pay the penalty with his life for his wrong doing, he found peace. It was in this attitude of heart which the prophet Nathan found him late that same afternoon. "I have sinned against the Lord," David cried in broken voice. "Let that be done unto me which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And the prophet Nathan came and laid his hand upon the head of David, and said: "The Lord hath put away thy sin. Thou shalt not die." "The Lord hath put away MY sin," repeated David softly to himself. How sweet the words sounded. "According to the multitude of the tender mercies thou hast blotted out my transgressions," he continued to himself. How blessed it was to feel that burden of guilt taken away. What awful months those had been during which he had kept the sin hidden in his heart and had remained unrepentant before God. And now how wonderful it was to feel that he had been brought back to God and that the old fellowship had been restored. And then came the yearning for a nearer walk with God and a share in his service, and he prayed: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me by thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee." Lightning Marked Tree. The peculiar pranks played by a bolt of lightning on an oak tree attracted hundreds of people to Wissahickon avenue, near Lincoln lake, says the Philadelphia Record. The tree, which was fully 125 feet tall, was struck during the electrical storm recently and was split down a distance of 75 feet, the halves falling in opposite directions. Fifty feet of the upper part was stripped of bark, and a most peculiar thing was that the roots were torn completely out of the ground and hurled a considerable distance, while a circle of bark four feet high was left standing. Marie Corelli Displeased. Marie Correlli is greatly annoyed by a little story now going the rounds of the press. The form it generally takes is this: "She was asked the other day why she does not marry. She replied: 'I have three pets at home, which together answer the same purpose. I have a dog which growls all the morning, a parrot which swears all the afternoon and a cat which stays out at night.'" Miss Correlli possesses neither a dog nor a parrot, not a cat, and she has never yet met anyone bold enough to ask her why she is unmarried. WICHTY SEARCHLIGHTS Cloth Costume. Simp Cloth Costume.

Rainy days often mean trouble in the household where there are plenty of children, and some one has suggested that the mother of such a brood would do well to provide herself with a rainy day cupboard. To it will find their way special playthings, reserved for state occasions; pictures, scrap books, paste pots, scissors, old magazines and paint boxes. Anything, in fact, that can provide indoor amusement. When the rainy day comes round let the cupboard be opened and a distribution of its blessings made. Children delight in novelty, and the very fact that there is a special treat reserved for the days when the sun doesn't shine will go a long way toward alleviating any disappointment over the putting off of out-of-door games and pleasures. Other-Colored Sleeves. Sleeves of quite a different color from the dress have made a distinct furore of late in a very few notable cases, and are the introduction of an artist in modes whose genius is of worldwide renown. At one of the last great functions of the Paris season an American beauty, who is always a la mode, wore a black tulle evening toilette with tulle sleeves of that peculiar shade of pink, soft and vivid, known as cyclamen. Another of the most striking and beautiful robes that have been made for a daytime occasion is a dress of white mousseline de soie with sleeves and fichu of black mousseline, the latter with ends flowing to the extreme edge of the trained skirt. This dress was worn with a huge white hat plumed with black and white feathers and a black and white parasol. Now a Spiral Hatpin. Now a Spiral Hatpin. There's a new hatpin that's bound not to come out, under any provocation of wind or speed. Where provocations of this sort mostly abound, namely, in an automobile, this hatpin gets in its special innings. It is, in fact, expressly designed for "moting" ladies who will not wear the pinless hoods! The new pin is a long spiral affair, tortuous to behold, and getting a twisted grip on the coiffure which nothing short of a dynammite explosion—or the clever hand that put it in—can loosen. As a weapon of defense for unprotected feminines this corkscrew hatpin beats anything yet put on the market. It is predicted that silks are to be worn a great deal the early part of the season, and that they are to be trimmed to a great extent with cloth or velvet. Taffeta and surah will be much worn for street dresses, just as they were in the spring. The fact that so many pretty silk gowns have been sold remarkably cheap within the last few weeks will add to the popularity of the silk dress for street wear. There is a return to old-fashioned patterns in the new silks, and plaids are in great demand. Fashion's decree is that the ensuing season is to be literally a quiet one. No longer is it considered good form for a "grande dame" to herald her approach by a rattling of many silken skirts. Yet handsome silks will play an important part in the building of her robes, and at those important events of early autumn, church weddings, one may expect to see many soft silks of quiet hue, side by side with clinging lansdownes and crepe de chines.

The fashions in jewelry change almost as rapidly as they do in Easter bonnets nowadays. Stones of huge size, when considered as precious gems, are now being mounted in London, New York and Paris for the most refined and fashionable ladies. These huge stones are being put into necklaces, brooches and bracelets, and the amount of jewelry which is now considered perfectly proper for a lady to wear would have been considered barbarous and vulgar five years ago. As many as three different styles of necklaces are worn this year by fashionable women, six brooches are not thought too many, and half a dozen bracelets are thought to be eminently proper by the best judges in London society. Rings are now a decided tendency to become large and clumsy. Any number of them may be worn; in fact so many that the hands of London's most fashionable women when attired in their rings, are just about useless. They could not even rick up a handkerchief, as they cannot bend their fingers weighted down with large rings. Large diamonds are preferred for the little fingers, and artistic designs of thumb rings are being worn that stretch from one knuckle to the other. The corsage can be completely hidden with jewels in many and curious designs. Tiaras, dog collars, necklaces and stomachers are some of the forms in which the present fashionable love for jeweled ornaments find expression. PRETTY DANCE FROCK — A pretty and becoming dance frock, appropriate for summer or winter, is made from white dotted mull. The low-cut bodice is bordered around the neck with bands of apple green satin ribbon, edged with a ruffle of the mull, which crosses in front in surplice effect. Short puffed sleeves are finished with similar ruffles, and the girdle is apple-green satin fastened in back with a large buckle of rhinestones and emeralds. The skirt has a foot trimming of satin ribbon and ruffles effectively arranged to almost knee depth. These tiny ruffles, by the way, are all edged with narrow green satin ribbon.
