WHO SHOT HER'

Miss Mary Young wa. walking along
the road not two hundred yards from q
house in the Campobello section of Spar
tanburg county, $. c., when she was
struck down by an assassin's bullet. The
ball entered her back near the spine and
passed almost through the body. Who
fired the bali is not known. She had had
no difficulty with anyone, and it is not
known that she had an enemy IN the
world. About the time she was shot q
boy about quarter of mile of fred at
a hawk, and for time it was thought
that his bullet might have glanced and
inflicted the injury, but this could not
have occurred. The ball was too large
for the rifle, and was evidently pistol
ball. The young lady was going toward
the place where the lad fired the rifle,
and she was struck in the back. The
young lady otill lives, but is in critical

Only few miles Of the journey could be
made on horseback, before reaching the
eastern limit Of the water which, at that
time, covered nearly the whole Of the
Mississippi valley, in some places nearly
hundred miles wide. The rest of the
way was to be made in adugout, through
an uncleared swamp of great gum and cy-
press trees, cane brakes and vines. These
young men, against the iemonstrances of
some friends, whom they passed on the
way, persisted in their efforts to make
the trip. From some cause, which will
forever remain matter of conjecture,
the dug OUT was capsized, and the two
men went down to rise no more. Their
bodies have just been recovered.

18TH CENTURY WONDER.

One of the most delicate and notable
surgical operations ever performed in the
world occurred in Philadelphia, Pa, be-
ing nothing less than the transplantation
of portion of the eye of rabbit to the
eye of human being. The object OF
the operation was to relieve the obscurity
OF an eye of a patient which was caused
by inflammation, and which produced in
time an Opaque surface. The patient
was servant girl. The operation took
place at Germantown hospital, under the
Immediate direction of DR.. l.. Webster

operations of this nature which have ever
been performed in the world, in German5

Bayonne after the empress and her
mother had returned thither from
Brighton, where they had spent a charm

as 1916. The Countess de Teba was in
that season bell of the Chain pier and

Mrs. Cleveland has had new spring
mantle named for her, which looks as
though it might become her graceful
shoulders. 1t is made up for early
spring wear in all of the lightweight
brocades and frises, but reaches its per-
fection when cut from a piece of the
new corded silk and hand-embroidered
in arabeSque design.
A model is of pale coffee-colored silk,
with embroidery of four different shades,
going from tan to dark-brOwn. The
gown is lined throughout with coral
colored surah silk, and is to be worn
with a carriage dress of tan-cOlored
faille and brown velvet. For the sum-
mer and later spring this little wrap is
to be made of silk lace over a founda-
ton of Surah or grenadine.
Small shoulder capeS made entirely of
beads are to be extremely fashionable
this spring. Colored beads are used as
frequently as the black jets, and some
very novel effects are produced. One of
these capes shades gradually from pale
yellow at the neck through deep yellow,
pink, crimson, garnet and reddish brown
to the waist. The beads are in long
single strings, over 500 being used in
the single cape.
THE DIRECTOIRE GOWN
is coming into special favor for house
wear. Almost every woman who has
seen ''La TOsca" has gone home with a
longing to own one of the graceful
dresses seen in the play. So the fashion
able mOdiSteS have set themselves to
work.
