The interest in the election at
Willow Springs centered in the
question of the division Of the
town. About four weeks before
seventy.seven electors residing in
that portion Of the town lying
north Of town 3, being the south
half Of town 4, petitioned to county
board of La Fayette county to set
them apart as new town. On
account Of Misunderstanding,
thinking that they had to have
majority of the whole town, (aI
hopeless case), they stayed at home,
as they have been doing for severe
years. Fully twenty-seyen petition
ers were thus absent. The electors
of each division voted separately.
In town 4, with about 100 electors,
II votes were cast--for division 81;
against division 81. In town g.
for division 3; against division %.
As majority in one division is in
favor Of 1t the county board now
has the power to do 80, and interest
in the case rests until November,
There was really but one ticket in
the election for town officers, ex-
cept that Ed. Smith wanted
Logue's place as chairman, and IL.
Clark would rather have Deery's
position on the board.

Ask n Favor Now and Then.

1t is a very gracious thing to ask favor
of man now and then. III done judicious-
ly IL will make you more friends even than
comforting benefits. II the right sort Of
girl makes the right sort of man feel that
he has done her service, that without
him she would have had difficulty in ac-
complishing such and such thing, he will
feel little warm, comfortable flow Of self
graduation every time he thinks Of her
and he will think of her oftener than you
imagine. Then perhaps you have placed
some one under an obligation, real or fan
cied. Make it a point to ask some service
now and again. 1t will be so gladly ren.
dered and make things balance so much
better. Don't keep the scale always weight
ed down; let it sometimes swing in the
other direction.-New York News.

where People Lack Common Sense.

Where People Lack Common Sense.
II took twenty years TO show the Ameri-
can people the economy Of using lining
under carpets, and they have not learned
the common sense Of 1t over in Europe yet.
It win probably take twenty years for US
to appreciate fully how much trouble can
be saved, how much waste avoided by
using antimoth furnishings. People hate
to learn things. There are lots Of folks that
WELD broom and fill the house full Of
dust who won't try a mechanical sweeper.
A carpet will wear a third longer with a
cotton padding beneath it and sweeper to
brush it. Many q family, too, waste hours
and days OF year in twisting up or pin
ming up shades, having no knowledge Of
spring rollers. People do not seem to grasp
the idea that table linen will wear twice as
long with a canton flannel under cloth, or
that lace curtains may be treated in way
to defy the erratic gas jet. They think too
much of how TO tie bow on a china dog
and not half enough Of how to sweep the
dirt from under him. m.-Philadelphia Up

doub1e-breasted coats that reached the
feet and opened over deep hens of mink
fur. Carriages rolled by giving glimpses
of rounded forms buried in great wine
brown Connemaras, and other carriages
stopped to allow long brown bengaline
overdresses TO be raised slightly above
sheath skirts of brown shot velvet as their
dainty wearers set foot to the sidewalk.
The color combinations were beautiful,
the all-prevailing brown setting off as
nothing else could have done the more
brilliant and varied tones There was tan
set SIDE by side with green velvet shot
with leaf brown. There was the beauti-
full blue of the silver swallow showing
between the deep slashes Of a long glove
fitting brown coat, like n Newmarket
idealized There was shaggy Indian
red wool frock, woven with brown, and
brown velvet. There were brilliant red
cloth frocks by twos and by threes, with
brown velvet bodices and rows of narrow
brown gimp edging the long, stately,
mud-sweeping draperies.
Most eye-compelling Of all were the
shaggy Russian stripes and plaids. Some
had wide bars in rich crimson and brown
and gold mixtures on very dark grounds
others had stripes of medium width in
rather light brown and creamy brown
shades, framed by narrow lines in green,
gold, Russian red, olive and blue.
There was one pretty girl with eyes that
had never known disappointment, who
wore beaver brown gown with rows of
black silk braid and Jet veil beads-mak-
ing an up and down picket fence style of
decoration to defend her waist, and with
bias skirt slashed TO the waist and
trimmed with beaver bands. Her felt hat
was trimmed with brown ribbons and
plumes.
There was a handsome matron, too, of
the sort whose prosperity faunts itself in
what seems the very wantonness of insult,
whose dress was tobacco brown camels
hair, figured in green. The back of the
SKIRT was plated, and the tight front was
trimmed with rows of green velvet on the
bottom and lifted on the left side To show
petticoat of fawn. On the right it was
laced together, the fawn skirt showing

Rugs and Carpets.

A large rug costs more than carpet for
the same room, but it is certainly cheaper
in the end and will last a lifetime. Those
who really cannot afford such purchase
can have carpeting made into rug with
quite the effect of one piece. 1t should be
finished with border, and IL the corners
are inclined to curl they should be weight
ed and lined with burlaps for a short dis
tance. A velvet rug made in this way may
be so perfectly matched and sewed that it
will be impossible to detect the seams. II
the floor is suitable, several small rugs may
be used, though the effect is not SO good

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-The streets are as
gay and bright as if the grip were not
epidemic and the doctors visiting from
seventy-five to hundred and twenty five
patients each per day. Standing on the
corner of Twenty-third street and Fifth
avenue this morning it seemed to me that
the world had turned all at once of red
ish brown, or at least that it was peopled
almost entirely women in brown dresses
and rich brown furs. There were lighter
and brighter browns near me in the fore
ground, with tan and russell half a block
away, and the more somber and dead-leaf
tones fading in the distance up the avenue
and down.
Charming women passed me in brown
printess dresses with high Medici collars

side with other bows and plumes on the
left side length of soft silk was caught
beneath the middle bow and car

was held with the biggest bow of all
and the most imposing bunch of feathers.
The short sleeves were of embroidered
chiffon held by bows and feathers on the
shoulders, both bows and feathers stand
ing erect or waving in the heated air OF
the ballroom with the most nonchalant
independence imaginable. The catalogue
was not yet complete, for the fuzzy,
much-curled hair of the pretty wearer
was twisted into n Greek "knot''-or more
in its heart and rearing themselves sky
ward over all.
There is nothing more characteristic Of
the winter than the red pomegranate
flowers. Last night looked about at the
theatre and saw their open glowing petals,
symbols of luxury and abundance, fam
ing from every corner. They shone out
upon the bosoms of black gowns and of
fawn colored ones. They warmed up pale
blue, and had "A weird, vivid effect, show

worn upon pink and worn upon

white, girl in her first season, who
was decked with them, and belle in
yellow, who has been belle for seven or
eight years. The prettiest combination of
all perhaps was dress of pale golden
brown, figured with cream colored flowers,
with cream colored moss trimmings
edging everything, and the pomegranate

from the low knot of hair behind the
pinkish ears.
