Mr. Whyte says that he does not favor going further on the Weyburn line this year and although sur- by voy parties have been out on the proposed line from a point between Kipp and Carmangay north-easterly, that line has not yet been definitely located. If it was located he would probably recommend some work to he done on it. But in order to give settlers around Lethbridge who need employment, he is disposed to recommend that the line to Aldersyde be completed this year and asks for the names of any contractors in Lethbridge who would take contracts. Mr. MeGrath has turned all that and all the correspondence the short legs on the upper side and the longer ones on the lower these fortunate animals run along with the same ease as ordinary animals do on the level. As always happens in nature, changes are wrought circumstances. Although there is no doubt but that the difference in the length of the legs litis resulted from necessity, as all living creatures adapt themselves to their surroundings—these were probably at lirst denizens of more level districts, being driven thence to the mountains by fiercer animals—-it is a strange fact that they have become adapted not only generally but locally as well. In particularly steep districts the lower legs are sometimes as much as three feet longer than the upper ones, but these cases are rare; the usual difference does not exceed twelve it is he has had with the C.

The writer has studied their habits closely, and has sat for many an hour on the high cliffs watching their movements. As with all other animals, freaks occasionally occur. Practically all of these (lougers have the short legs on the right hand side, but instances are on record where the short legs are on the left hand side.

Annual School Meeting. The annual school meeting was held on Tuesday the 12th. There was quite a representative gathering of the property holders present. On motion of A. Mathieson, Wm. Robson was elected chairman. Thesecretary, R. J. Cole, read over the various items of expenditure for the past year which were satisfactory to the meeting,after which the election of a trustee and auditor, for the period of three and one years respectively, was proceeded with. A. Mathieson was elected trustee and Robert Strachan waselected for auditor. The meeting then voted an appropriation of $1,500 for the coming 3'ear, $200 of which will expended on improvement of the school grounds. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring trustee and secretary of the district, R. J. Cole, for his untiring efforts iii the matter of the new school house which will stand as a monument of his good work. The meeting then adjourned. Woman Badly Burned at Fernie.

The terms are very explicit: "A driver cer rider shall not drive or ride u horse in a race without personal knowledge as to the eligibility eef the' horse to compete iu said contest. A driver or rieler violating this rule shall lie subject to the penalty, if any, that follows the horse, except where tlie driver or rieler is substituted or appointed bv the- judges.

There are two kinds of swelled head. One of them is inflated with lint air. pure and simple. The other has the goods, and bulges out with them. Modesty prevents us from placing ourselves in our correct class, but there are thousands to whom we can refer you for a true estimate of the BUCK-EYE. They are testing them daily.' Were we placed on oath, and asked which was the best ten cent cigar in the market today, wc could do no otherwise than follow the Professor's illustrious example and reply "THE BUCK-EYE n 3» THE HOSMER TIMES bit It The Winnipeg Clearing House— Accurate Barometer of Trade How on important business institution works in settling accounts that will make the billion-dollar mark this gear. A speedg, sure and economical method of clearing Winnipeg's banking business each dag rpiift Winnipeg clearing hou.se is an JL institution that is much hoard of through tho figures it gives out; that is, the figures are widely known and justly esteemed remarkable, and by this remarkableness, some fame conies to the organization which producer these iigurus; figures • that epitomise the wonderful progress of ;• community without parallel iu the world today; figures that tell the story uf this progress truly and woll to the understanding mind uf thc business man of other parts, to which these figures go out, full of information, accurately setting forth the rise nnd fall of the business barometer of Winnipeg, simply accurate, convincingly strong. (Hearing house figures announce that there is an increase in the Winnipeg t-auk clearings for the week of half a million dollars over tho corresponding wecek of a year before-—perhaps a million or more over thc week of two years previous. This news is printed iu the local papers and goes forth to the press cef either cities. Every city uf consequence in Canada has the news; business men nf Xew York, Chicago and Huudun bear of it; and, iu general, thee world knows that Winnipeg bank clearings have mude a big advance. For half a million a week i.s u big advance; a year of such advances puts the city's ■anil clearings twenty live millions ahead of the year before, unci many of the older cities would be much more than thankful for such a mercy'—they would be hilurinus. Hut half a million increase in a week is no wonder in Winnipeg. The largest figures for a week iu 1909 exceeded the largest week's figures nf 1908 by more than five millions, the difference between 190S and l!l(17 was about the sumo, and even so fur back as 1903 and 1900, tho iigures for the latter, year—for the best bunk clearing week—show an increase of almost four million dollars. Measures the Flow of Trade To the bunker and tho experienced business man these figures tell a story • f trade and business transactions that iocs not advance with the slnw, cautious steps of communities whore the search for a dollar is a work of care and the process of making ten thousand dollars tho task of u lifetime; it tells • f commercial and trado development •hat takes its strides liko a giant and covers as much ground in a day as oleics cities do in a month or even a yoar. This is an open book to the man who knows whut a clearing house^ does and whnt its figures mean, but the average eitizon reads the weekly, monthly and yearly publication of the doings of his fity's clearing house with only a vague comprehension of .what they mean nnd —usually—with a vaguer idea of how they eome about, how such figures inn- pened to be published; thoir cause; their effect. In the case of the Winnipeg bank clearings, it is, indeed staggering to be told that tho figures for 1909 were if!770,B49,S22, and still moro staggering when this enormous total is placed aguinst the total for 1901—only eight years before — and it is seen that the yearly bauk clearings for that year were but $100,056,720, or less than one-seventh of the amount in 1909. Again the bunker and thc business man know what these figures and these comparisons mean; again the average citizen sees no more than two sums of money, one enormously larger than the other, but each beyond his Icon as a thing real, tangible; handled by men in the regular course of business; carried along the streets; passed ubout and exchanged from man to man; counted, measured and taken account of by actual process and all in a matter-of- fact, everyday way—as u carpenter shinglcB a roof or it bricklayer builds a cottage chimney. Will Be a Billion Dollars This Year If tho Winnipeg bnnk clearing figures keep on increasing as they have done during the months of the year that have passed, thc yearly total for 1910 will be a billion dollars or very near it. Given n crop as good as that of 1909, and there is every probability tbat Winnipeg bank clearings will pass the billion mark. The first quarter of tbe year is notedly dull in respect of bank clearings, as a rule, but tbe total lacrcase of this year's clearings over a corresponding peridd Inst year, runs up to the tidy sum of $39,799,720. That is to sny: There has been nearly forty million dollars worth more business transacted in Winnipeg than thero wus for thc same period of time in 1909. This important fact has been determined by the Winnipeg clearing house, an institution so .simple in its working, ind so accurate in the results obtainable, that the man who sees it in operation for the first time, cannot fail to be struck by the bald, open, unadorned way in which exchanges of millions are made and accounts handled that represent a larger fortune in the daily transactions of the clearing house than it i.s given to more thun a very few of mankind to roll up in a lifetime nf strenuous business life. How the Clearing House Works Thc Winnipeg clearing house has ils home in the basement of the Merchants Bank. Like the way to the spider's chamber into which Ihe Hy was cor- dially invited, the approach lee the In thc room where these bank employees assemble every banking day in the yoar—rain or shine, blow high ur blow low—there are twenty-one booths, arranged in horseshoe form, und at the open eud of the shoe a raised platform with a desk. Across this desk is a strip of wood with hooks on it—twenty-one hooks; one for each bank, again. Behind the desk is a man, fair-complexioned, alert, businesslike, and with that sort of facility at figures that enables him to cast up accounts that mount to millions, with ono bund, and—figuratively —to carry ou a conversation witli the other. This man is Kdward M. Counsel), for four years manager uf the Winnipeg clearing house, and thoroughly experienced, by this and other work in banking, fnr his position. The Autocrat of the Clearing House At his desk in the clearing hnuse, Mr. Counsel! is monarch of all he surveys. It is one of the rules of the clearing house that any person who has to do and bank clerks are not bo sumptuously paid that they can a,ford tn lose half a dollar very often. There ure a few minutes uf strenuous work and then it is found out that a clerk made a mistake of a thousand dollars in adding his figures. He admits his error and the account is corrected, if it had been cents instead of dollars, the case would have been the same; the accounts must be gone over until the error is found and corrected. Daily Settlement Made When the correction has been made, the clerks may go, not before. In a few minutes they arc all gone and the whole transaction covering the balancing of perhaps several million dollars worth of accounts—has taken no more than forty minutes. The day's work is nut over, though. Mr. Counsel! makes out a daily account sheet which he sends to one of the tellers of the Hank of Montreal, who acts as settling teller for the clearing house, Quebec . . . 71,430,958 118,803,773 Ottawa . . . 93,409,130 173,181,973 London . . • 23,097,539 02,093,337 Fur a comparison uf Winnipeg bank clearings with tbose of a city in the United States, the case of Providence, icliueie Island, is instructive and encouraging—tu Wiunipeggcrs. Providence is a city uf over two hundred thousand population, and is noted as a centre of trade anel bunking not only in the state where it is, but among the cities uf like size in all ihe slates. Last December, the newspapers ut Providence gloated over the fact that the city's bank clearings fur 1909 shciweel an increase of mure than sixty-one millions over best year pnur' to 1!)UU—that uf 1900.

We put to shore here, aud while we were getting the cooking utensils on laud, anel bringing wood for the fire, three of the men got into their kui uks and going out among the fish, managed in a few minutes to spear enough to furnish us with all wc would need fur ourselves ami the dogs. These fish were cleaned and scaled in a very indifferent manner, and after being cut into twee cer three pieces, were thrown into the pot, heads ami all. Then, un another lire, a big put of rice was placed, which, with a can of marmalade and plenty of streeng tea which I provided, made a vory good meal indeed. The fish that llu1 Eskimos or "Huskies'' as they are called in the N'eerth, got at this river, were kuiiney.s, a big tish very much resembling the cod iu taste. They also j have large quantities of whitelish, pike, I trout, herring, ami suckers, and iu the Arctic Ocean they get large quantities of salmon, trout and herring, and they also get in the lakes, a vory lug tish, bigger than a sal.nun, tilt* name of which 1 have been unable tn learn. I never saw but one uf these fish. It was caught by hook through the ice in winter, while 1 was living in an Eskimo fishing camp.

There the similarity those wlce walk this stair do so in agri'enieiit—and for the purpose of doing good tn each eether. At the fool of the stair are two guards, armed tier emergencies which, happily, iiuve never arisen in Winnipeg. Down tho stairway there come, every bank' ing day but Saturday a troop nf men. Three in a row, so to speak, they come, a clerk, a messenger and an escort from each cef the twenty-one banks in the city—sixty-throe men all told. The messenger carries the' packages containing chocks ami monoy that represent the business of his bank on the previous bank day, the escort and clerk travel light and all throe are armed— in fact e,, in suppiesiri'.u because Ihe messenger curries in th" leather ease th: t hangs from his shoulders, treasure thnt thieves might break through and steal if opportunity afforded, lu the aggregate, these sixty-threo men may carry as much as five or 9ix million dollars between them, sometimes, and it is a poor day when they do not have two millions. More or loss, they curry it, and so safely that the first less is yet to be recorded. By ten o'clock of the ordinal.- banking day, and by nino-forty-fivo tu .Saturday, these sixty-throe men nre assembled in the basement room, that is occupied by tho Winnipeg clearing house. They must bo tjicrn on 'ime or be fined, and it is a rule of the enuring house that no wait of longer tian six minutes will be made. Such a wait coats tho bank that is the cause of it three dollars—fifty cents a minut.— but fines are rare aud prompt attend anee usual. the manager's instruction, shall be subject to u fino of a dollar. Business be gins when thc manager rings his bell, which is sharp on the stroke of ton o'clock, l/p to that time the manager is busy taking account of slips turned iu to him by the clerks, At ten o'clock he says: "Is everybody here."' If there is uo answer, he rings a bell. At once, the doors arc locked by the guards, who stay outside. At once, the messengers who have brought cases full of packages of checks and money, begin to puss around thc room leaving the envelope or package for each of the other banks with which his bank has transacted business the day before. As a rule, every bank does business with every other bank, and, therefore, each man will have twenty packages when he starts to distribute them and when he comes around the second time, to collect the packages from thc slant-bottomed metal box underneath the desk of his bank, there will be the same number for him to carry back. It takes perhaps five minutes to exchange theso packages and four or five million dollars may pass from hand to hand in this short space of time; more than that, even, since one bank has been known to contribute a million' and a half to the clay's business. Everything is done with precision and celerity and at the end of five—perhaps six—minutes, Mr, Conn- sell asks his second question: "Are you all done?" Again, if there is no answer, the bell rings. The guards open the doors and the messengers and their escorts file out, treasure-laden and treasure-guarding, as they entered, the clerks stopping behind to go over the clay's accounts. When Columns Do Not Balance The millions have passed out with the messengers who brought them, but there still remains the task of finding out whether everybody has done his part of the day's work with the same degree cef accuracy. The banks have presented their uc- cceuuts of the business done thc day before; each envelope brought by a messenger contained chocks aad money showing one bank's share of that business. Suppose that the business of all the other banks iu the city with the Hank nf Montreal's customers amounts tn a million dollars; it may be moro or less, but whatever it is it musl be paid. It may be that the Bank of Montreal heelds enough uf the' eel her banks' obligate,,as tc wipe' this celll ; if sn the othei' winding j banks owe the Hank of Montreal the difference; if met the Bauk of Montreal eewes the difference tu them, or, since there i.s a cloaritlg Incuse, they owe il tu Ihe clearing house.

Payments by settling banks begin at twelve o'clock, uud must be made by otic o'clock, an arrangement which completes the work of tho clearing house for the day at that hour. In this short and expeditious manner Ihe; Winnipeg clearing house handles the accounts uf twenty-one banks—accounts that aggregated nearly eight hundred million dollars last year and could do, .lack Frost hurried back early in the fall of 1H07 and between a late spring und an early fall, the wheat crop was sore pinched for room to ripen.

N. aa invaluable work for the public ia af fording weekly, monthly and yearly figures that give the besi possible Mac uu the volume of business transacted iu Winnipeg and the section served by it in a business way, the clearing house saves the banks of the city a deal of cumbersome and costly work. Without the clearing house, each bank would be obliged to maintain a ledger account with each of the other banks; with the clearing house, no ledger account for this class of business is kept at all. In the days before the clearing house was organized there was no way ot getting such a settlement as is now effected by the clearing house, but by sending an account to each of tho other baaks. ThiH was alow, expensive and unsatisfactory, the clearing house is swift, sure and, by comparison, the cheapest device for securing such big results that could bc gotten up. There are two paid officers —the manager and flic settling teller— and two guards. All of thc expenses of the clearing house for a year amount tn no more than three or four thousand dollars, and for the work that is accomplished, this is cheaper than gold dollars at eighty cents each. Stupendous Growth of Banking It is nn misapplication of terms t.o say that the growth of bunking business iu Winnipeg hus been stupendous, enormous. When thc clearing house was established in 1894, there wore hut nine banks. So recently as April, 1902, there were no more than twelve banks in the city, or au increase nf but three' in eight years. Between 1902 and 1910 —another eight year period—nine new banks were established in Winnipeg, nr as many as the* city had altogether up tu 3894, twenty years after its incorporation as a city. Hank clearing figures show the justi- lii'ictice-i fnr the entry of so many new banks intn thc field of business cover* ed by Winnipeg. Taken by years, those Iigurus are highly instructive to students .ef commercial growth, of trade progress. For the nine years from 1001 il I to I'.lOO, inclusive, Winnipeg bunk clear- lebit j lugs run into those figures: by means of need to ask the old settler how business was in such and such a year. His recollection may be1 faulty ur his reply influenced by some lucky-—or unlucky—happening befalling in his own cuse. It is a wonderfully well-balanced mind that nets dis- regardful ui things personal to itself, and man's memory is wretchedly defective in identifying time, place, and conditions long past. Whether it be as true as it used tn be deemed, fhat figures will not lie, may be a moot question, but it may be set down us wholly trustworthy that clearing house figures are barometrical gauges fur all time uf inaiided that we should again pull for two brothers, aged about twelv the natives, after putting up their tents, I wc saw the prints of two moose that had ieewcr edge of the canvas to make them, I come down to the river to drink, and place heavy pieces of wood around the by the looks of things, they had had as far as possible, both mosquito and | great diiliculty in getting out of the dug proof.

The Eskimos also begun to put on more clothing, but neither the fog nor the cold seemed in any way to affect these jovial souls, for they began to sing a " lioolahoola," a kind eif music that reminded me of thc bagpipes, which together with the beating of a drum, and the strange gestures of the Eskimos, suggested a cannibal war-dance, and although by this time I was rather tired anel sleepy, I could not hope to sleep in such a noise, in the summer months the Eskimos keep awake during the night, and sleep during the early part of the day, whether they are traveling or in their camps, f du not know why they do this, for often during the midnight sun time the evenings are cold, anil frequently misty, and then it always seemed to mc a pity to go to bed just as the sun was rising again, but I suppose that the Eskimos have good reasons for doing this. At about three o'clock in the morning, we put ashore at the mouth of an* eether little river, where thc usual number of fish were playing, and here again the Huskies managed to procure all we wanted, by spearing.

Suddenly the supposed baby stretched itself, reached out its little bands to me, and said, "Hello, minister," which remark settled both questions fur me. 1 hnd supposed him to bc a boy of at least nine years of age, but undressed, he appeared scarcely more than a baby. Slipping on his "kutnuk" (trousers! and "attici" (hooded coat) and taking a bit of steel traps, he turned to mc anil sked in Eskimo, "Are you coming,' They will never on any account, trade cer sell a wolverine or glutton skin, as it is the. only Arctic fur known to them tee which snow or ico will not cling.

The double skirt has eoiiie iuto fashion once again, and once again must the -question of the underskirt or Lining be most carefully considered, or the gown will be a failure. Soft , silk or satin or silk finished linings are chosen preferably and then a deep facing or flounce of the material is put on, over which falls the gown, and if the lining is ii"t perfectly cut and fitted then the task of making the gown is most difficult, of not impossible. With the transparent materials; often two and sometimes three are used in order to gain ihe desired shade of color, but this again is so difficult a task that , the amateur dressmaker will secure much belter results if she : uses a more expensive lining of silk or satin and a more] closely woven fabric, not so close but that the color and sheen j of the satin will Bhow through. Pot the moment the exaggeratedly t ij-rl.t skirts are in style, and even when the upper skirts are full the linings arc | still extremely scant, so that the same effect is given, espec- j ially when the fulness is gathered with the bias fold or band j around the ankles. This fashion requires to be most carefully dealt with, or the gown will look vulgar and ugly; iu fact, too much care cannot be given to copying the original models, as the fashions of the moment are so exaggerated as to be unbecoming to the majority of women. The lining for the waist must be cut to fit tight around the waist, but must have sufficient width across the bust and directly be Death the bust, i'or otherwise the lines of the figure will be completely spoiled. The seam from shoulder to waist line is now thought better in the lining than the two darts, and it is easier with it to give the desired breadth. Since the exaggeratedly large hats show small sign of dying out, the hat box, large and clumsy as it is, must certainly be reckoned with if a girl cares to have every detail o* her private sanctum perfect. Even if a pretty paper covered box is thought sufficiently attractive for a closet, it certainly will not do if the box is to be kept on one of the new hat racks, which are now resorted to in small rooms where the closet mom is sn small as not to admit of more than two or three hat boxes on its shelves. These new hut racks, or, rather, bat 'box racks, are really excellent in a small room. Made trianguhir in shape, they will lit into an unused corner ;iml can be made with enough shelves to hold as many hat boxes as desired. The plain wooden frame can be either painted the color of the Wood* work or of the room, or else rendered still more inconspicuous by being covered with a bit of the same paper as that which adorns the wall. The hat boxes an1 then covered with the same cretonne with which the room is hung. A French print framed with gold or silver metal lace placed iu the centre of j one panel of the box is most attractive, These hat boxes are already much in demand for prizes,! while for gifts or for sale at a fair they are still sufficiently original to be eagerly sought. Wheu not planned for any j special room or rack there is, of course, greater freedom in j tlie choice of material and eolor. For a rose colored boudoir, a Dn Barry pink moire bordered about the box itself, as well as the lid, with a good sized French print placed both on the top of the box as well as on one or all panels is really beautiful. A well made hat box with wooden frame must be procured to cover, for an ordinary cardboard box is not sufficiently^strong to be worth the covering. AH the more expensive hats are now generally sent home in these boxes having wooden framework, nnd if a girl is not so fortunate as to possess such a box herself she surely can beg, borrow or steal one from some friend or relative. The prints, of course, must be pasted to the material before the box itself is covered. The braid can be either pasted or sewed on, the latter method being a little more trouble and infinitely more satisfactory in the long run. To buy the correct quantity of braid the box itself must first be measured, for every hat box today is a different size. The round boxes, of course, take much less material, and for the square box each side should be treated as a panel and adorned down each edge. The braid employed should be about an inch in width. STIRLING KINO GEORGE THE SAILOR IT will be remembered that King George V, when Prince of Wales—two years ago on his voyage home from the Tercentenary in the Indomitable, went below in the stokehole and shoveled coal under a boiler till he sweat like a navvy. King George will not be likely to shovel coal on a man-of-war. There will be a number of princely diversions which public opinion will lead him to eliminate. But he enn never lose interest in the navy; and he will probably know even better than did his father the minutiae of the latest developments of man-of-warisin. For it is some years since King Edward was on tne sea. He crossed the ocean in a dawdling old tub that must have 0 me" j taken three weeks to make the trip. And when King Edward t was w.ls j,lHt nu tj1(? open sea the biggest man-of-war was a thing 'Ar0i* that not even an outpost colony would buy now as the nucleus Veteran Scrip Farm Loans We will accept a first mortgage or.

All of which takes time and skilled labor, and, although the prices asked and obtained are fabulously high, time and skilled labor are expensive, and must, be reckoned with in calculating the cost. # • * The constant change of stylo is terribly trying, not only to the woman who has to calculate closely what she spends, but. t.o the woman who is intent upon always being well groomed and wbo, having spent many hours in selecting hats, suddenly discovers that a new importation has arrived in which each and every model is entirely different from any she has in her present collection. It requires considerable self control not to be swayed by the continual change, and to <*oni iuite to wear the originally chosen hats with that serenely conscious, self-possessed manners that a thoroughly satisfactory hat bestows upon the wearer thereof. Are large or small hats the most fashionable.' is a question continually askod and ono that is hard to answer. Never was thore a season when smaller or miner move close fitting hats wero worn, and yet never was there a season when such immense, ones were fashionable, and ulso the medium sized hat is eagerly sought for. At one time \t emphatically stated that small hats in the daytime and largo hats in tho evening solved the problem, but now, with the Oriental style of wrapped turban shape chosen for the evening and the enormous, all-enveloping hat made of crin or straw, trimmed with bows of tulle or ribbon and many liowers and unmistakably intended for day wear, all ideas are changed again, and it is indeed a tli Hi cult task to steer correctly nlong the winding path that Dame Fashion elects her subjects shall tread. Toques and turbans are tremendously popular, but- quite distinct iu shupe and style from what wore called by those names a year ago. The general outlines tire quite unlike. The j head size is always large so that the hat goes down far on the head, and as this sometimes is unbecoming, an inside bund, ur halo, as it is called, has to be put iu to raise the hat from the head and show at least a glimpse of hair and features. l-'aio-y straw, wonderfully soft ami pliable and in every conceivable color, is used in these hats, and, treated as though it wero tulle or silk, is folded and pleated and fairly wound around the frame. A stiff aigrette or bow of tulle, silk or velvet or a jewelled ornament is the trimming thought the smartest, but within the last fortnight have been seen hats of this description where stiff sprays of roses have been the trimming. The hats are soft in outline, but the trimming is always stitf ami hard, in sharp but most effective contrast. There tire toques made with brim of liowers and crown of milUnetf, plain or (iguvedj these are round in shape, quite lar^o, ami the liowers arc of the small blossoms; the crown \> extremely full, with many loops and bows, generally black, although lhere ate many with the clown of silk bows to mil toll Ihe gown, while the flower brim may be a lighter ur darker shade of the same color. With the street costume, the simple tailor gown, is worn this season a much plainer, more suitable stylo of hat than Was seen last year. Medium sizes and small shapes are Ihe best, although there are few of the larger shapes that are included iu the latest exhibitions. A hat, something between n toque and turban in shape, thai is popular, (its quite dose to the head, is apparently small, although in reality il is of medium size; it has a brim of hemp braid or crin that turns down; tho crown is of satin or silk, quite high and full, and at the left side is a large still' bow of the silk or satin. Another of the same description has a black velvet crown with white straw brim ami a bow- id' white straw that looks like n piece of luce. Then there i^ a modification uf one of last year's most popular walking hats, with the brim rolled back'toward the front and caught I with a fancy bow or still feathers. This ymy the shape tins a Mghei' crown and a stifVer brim, but the lines are almost the same, Hough straw nud with the satin finish is smartest for this style of liut. uiftl in ;i,ll colors, ii- well as in black and white, it is in coii^tatil demand, for it W generully becoming uud must practical.

A Hat hand oi white Im n the brim inside of a I.lack crin Imt is extremely smarl und the sharp contrast uf tlie white against the black challenges attention al once. Then when combined with roses, pink, yellow, red aiol white, there' is no material that is so satisfactory, A burnt or Tuscan; rough straw with the lnce around the crown and a spray of pink roses ;it the side looks equally well with a light or dark ] gown and is invariably becoming, whilo the white or black; entire luce lull wilh aigrette or roses bestows the finishing I touch to ,i dainty uml picturesque summer truck. An almost iivorpuwering, hut it cuiiunl be denied a mosl picturesque hut, is of black crin trimmed with black lace, pink roses and aigrettes or ostrich plumes. Linger than any of last year's shapes, with higher crown than has been cons Id ered in style in years, this remarkable construction never thetess challenges admiration and recalls the enormous pic turo luits of the Gainsborough era. when powdered hair, puffs and ringlets were the accepted headgear of the day.

The ^uide, Jose Villegaa, re- neatly told a correspondent of thfl .St. Louis Globe-Democrat how a drove of nbout twenty javelins once made him aud Mr. Koosevelt shin up mesquite trees as fast as they could climb and kept them there perched more than four hours. It happened when Mr. Koosevelt was Civil Sorvice Commissioner. This is the story: When Mr. Koosevelt came down lo Uvalde and was brought down to the ranch where 1 was working, he was unknown to the people of this section. I had never heard of him before, and when I first cust my oyea upon bim, I sized him up for one of the Etistern institution un tin- chronic theatregoer. Ur. Sheldon finds from his limited ox perience that this Influence is not very permanent in its actual doing of right eoiihness. On the other hand, he does tind "a more or less blase condition of mind.'' "The theatre seems to create aa art) ficinl atmosphere. Jt is glamour aud dream life. Voung men who are caught, by th»! fascination uf the nightly attend a nee on the theatre become dissatisfied with real life. The atmosphere of thfl play affects them not ns an incentive toward the cleaner and more ambitious righteousness but rather acts as a sensa tin nut tickling of certain emotion at parts uf their nature, and there is no question whatever concerning tlie rous ing of certain passions in the inveterate- theatregoer which, as far as my ohser valion goes, tend towards driuorab ■-.;• is an old saving that one of them will carry his weight in lead before he give's Up the ghost.
