The charge that Rev. Walter d.

Bishop Handy marrying the con

ceremonies if he had been properly
asked. With no desire to mlsrepre

Miss Mason and Prof. Layton made
a mistake. There are times
in the affairs of our life that VT
imagine we own the people and
they are our subjects. We think
some times that we Can do d
wrong and the people will wink

There Is no man who stands
higher in the estimation OF the
people than Rev. Brooks and it is
not believed that he will do any

Mason didnot do the proper thing

an apology to that gentleman.

for that reason | am in favor OF d

Odd as is the blending OF yellow and
black, 1t is not more startling in its way
than ie the shape of the toque shown in
the initial. Here the material ie change
able velvet, showing gold and pink. The
brim is made OF bias velvet, doubled and
gathered, and grove smaller at the back.
The front is trimmed with rich bows of
sulphur yellow ribbon, fastened with a
buckle, which surround the hat, the
ends falling from the back and tieing
under the chin. Two birds of paradise
are placed In 'front.'.
i Broad -brimued hats frequently have
the brims turned straight back against
the crowns, in something like the old
lthree-cornered effect, except that there
are very few corners allowed. Right in
front the brim goes straight back from
the foreheard and the hair, and either q
buckle or roaette is placed there ae an
ornamental finish. The effect is be-
coming, If little too easy of attainment,
and therefore likely to become promptly
common. Very big leghorns are used a
great deal, and are bent into all sorts of
dropping and flaring effects. They are
trimmed with great bows that sprangle
fatty all over the hat from the top away
out to the edge OF the br;m, very like
O devil tish. But ii you don't happen
to think Of that, the effect does not
strike you badly. model OF the big
ieghorns is eketched herewith. It's big
black brim is turned up on one side, and
it is trimmed with large green ribbon
bows and white flowers. At the side is
placed large bow OF green ribbon.
So varied are the shapes, trimmings
and colors, and 80 lswless seem the
combinations, that it is enough to con-
vince the shopper that anything will do,
The hat of today often does look SO
simple. Likely as not it is just fat
piece OF STRAW with no brim, or rather
all brim, and il seems to merely touch a
band that in its turn rests lighcly on the
head. A spray OF flowers seems to lie
just where it pleases, and there is bit
OF ribbon, perhaps just a half caught
caught knot, that is all. Home you go,
and in course of short time Won turn

you can tuck it away into harmless OBJ
scurity there. The girl who wears such
made-over hat needs only fresh COM
plexion and eyes that will come out
prettily with the green on the hat to be
every bit as lovely as the girl with the
brand new hat OF the very latest style.
The crown is pretty much suppressed
in many hats. 1t is represented some-
times by hole and again by beauti-
Gus mixture of feathers, lace and flow
ers. In the former case the hat is usu-
ally the dress or theater hat, in the lat
ter it may be what ia termed simple
hat. There is some effort against the
orderly and mathematical arrangement
to which we have all been broken in, so
much. indeed, that the top of hat has
sometimes the effect of Hat plate upon
which is served up very pretty array
of dainty things. 1t is relief from
the style that binds dainty flowers and
laces to wire and sets them shooting
upward and forward. Black lace straw
is much used for hats like the last model
pictured. This la fiat on top, and has
fairly wide brim. Only the outside
two or three rows of the straw
show, all the rest of the hat being
covered with a careless array of black
lace and pink roses with here and there
a tuft Of wheat grass in black. Such q
hat is held on by pink strings that pass
either side Of the knot of hair in the
back, and loosely cross to come around
in front under the chin. A pretty no
tion is to paes the ribbon through few
inches of lace straw al the top. 1t adds
TO the daintiness, and secures the ribbon

rumpling so caused. Never has it been
more necessary that everything should
be fresh and looking as though just
made. No rumples. no mussed bows
everything must be crisp and new look
ing, no matter how inexpensive and in
elaborate. While all colors seem 10 bt
worn together, and while there has beer
an evident effort to make hats not match
ing the gown the correct thing, you ar
safe still to let harmony and matching
rule your selection.

WAL KING FOR HEALTH.

How to Get the best Results from This
Invigorating Mxercise,
While immense physical benefit is to
be derived from walking, there is right
way and wrong way to do it; and the
mere getting over ground is not always
an exercise good for health. One may
be very sure that he has not been much
benefited by walk If he comes home
from IL languld and heavy, or with
any special discomfort in any part
of the body, save that which
comes from genuine wearinesa OF
the muscles from use. Such wearineHs
10 not really discomfort, and can easily
be distinguished from the lack of vigor
following an Improbable walk. To get
the full benefit OF walking, the head and
body should be erect, the chest expand
ed and all tho muscles OF the body held
In loose, free way, 30 that they will
respond readily to every movement. To
walk with contracted chest is as inef-
fectual as the work of Sisyphus, whose
task was to roll stone to the top of a
mountain, only to have it roll down
again. The overtaxed lungs are but ill
supplied with air and the muscles are
constantly strained to do the work which
they might do with ease il the lungs
were in position to receive enough frHsh
air to carry On the work OF the body.
A short. mincing step, however vigor-
ouely taken, falls very far short Of the
beat step for walking. 1t is better than
no walk at all, for it does stimulate the
circulation and thus exhilarate the
walker; but it brings fewer muscles into
action than the long step, and, the la
Dor not being divided, ia more taxing
upon theae few, 80 that walk that may
stiffen the muscles Of mincing walker
would only throw new life and vigor
into those Of a man or woman who walks
with long, free step. This is one rea-
son why women usually do not walk
with as much ease and freedom as
men. They cannot, of course, be
expected to take 80 long steps
as man, but they should endeaver
to take them as long in proportion to
their size. They would then not only
walk with more ease and greater benefit,
but it would be easier to acquire a
graceful walk, which every woman GER
tainly would like to have, but which it
ia impossible to have 80 long as most of
the muscles are held stiff and unused.
The only graceful etep is the one which
is long enough to be free and easy; and
the only graceful woman is she whose
muscles are made flexible by judicious
use. Hold the foot 80 that the ball
touches the ground the instant before,
not after, the heel and give the impetus
for the long step by slight spring from
the foot which bears the weight of the
body tor moment.
In like manner there is no especial ex-
erciee in the slow walk that go many
women take, under the impression that
they are out for exercise. There is no
exercise to speak of in any walk which
does not quicken the circulation and
give some sense of exhilaration to the
body. eauntering nut in the open air
has the advantage of giving one fresh
air and is go far beneficial and better
than nothing. But one might almost as
we'll drive; except that the erect position
is probably q healthful change for one OF
sedentary habits.--[ Brooklyn Times.

SNAKE VS.. EAGLE.
A Duel in Mid AIR Noted Recently I'm
rFx

A Duel In Mid Air Npted Recently i'm
J. III. Lee came in yesterday, says the
Prescott Courier, from the American
ranch, west of Prescott, and related to
the Courier strange story. In the
mountain Craga near that ranch several
families of American eagles have for
years cared their fearless brood, and
have, in the main, been unmo-
Tested, their chief prey being
snakes and other reptiles, unwel-
come to man. In the same sec
ton q species of snake, known here.
abouts as the whip snake, is also COM
mon. These snakes are of the long, slim
variety, seldom larger than a good
sized walking stick, but ranging in
length all Che way from four to 10 feet.
They are not considered poisonous, but,
like the boa constructor species, wind
around their prey and crush it, and their
squeezing powers are said to be some-
what, wonderful. So swift are these
snakes that they disappear, unharmed,
when struck at with stick, like the
shadow of flying bird.
A few days ago Mr.. Lees sons were
hunting through the forest near the
ranch, when they saw a great eagle,
which was sailing in mid air, suddenly
dart to the earth, heard hutter in the
brush, piercing scream, and the bird
rose above1the pine tops, an unusually
long whip snake dangling from hie beak
The eagle held the enake just behind
the head end rose rapidly; the snake
seemed to be making Intellectual efforts
to draw it's dangling body up to col
around the eagle. The eagle was soor
in mid air and the snake could no
be seen, but it wac evident that NOR
tai combat was taking place, for th'
bird would rise ard fall and emit oc
casional screams, as II in pain, an'
in a few minutes was seen rapidly de
scending earthward, turning over anC
over in his flight and Tapping one wini
vigorously, the other seeming to be hel'
out stationary. But nothing could bt
seen of the snake. The bird struck tn
ground with somewhat of a thud, nea
the boys, who hurried to the place
where they found the eagle with deaf
grip on the snake just back OF the rep
tiles head, while the snake had collie
round and rounds its asssilant's body
crushing the bird all out OF shape all
breaking one wing entirely.
The BOYS killed and unwound tn
snake, while the dogs went for tn
cage and soon killed it, not, however
before the bird had almost torn tn
nose from one of the dogs with hi
beak.

buy the hat that suits her, and be CON
tent.
Another large hat Is the subject OF the
third picture. 1t 10 very pretty shade
of tan STRAW. 1t is turned up at the side
and hae two dente in front aB shown.
For trimming there is large wreath of
pink roses going around the front, and
at the back large bow OF tan ribbon is
placed
Among the bewilderment of varieties
presented in the millinery windows it is
really q comfort to gee here and there q
hat that is not 80 Htartlingly different
from laet years styles, or even the year
before that. This gives one courage to
believe that last years may after all be
fixed over and made to do very we'll.
The fresh styles are so aggressively new
that without some such encouragement
one would give up, turn old hats into
work baskets, and try to pretend they
never we're headwear. The new shape
which you'll see in the fourth illuetra-
tion is one which can be initiated by the
home miliner OF economical turn. LII
the old hat is q round one with the edge
OF the brim turned up all around, you
are quite safe to fix it over. Edge the
turned up brim with band
of lace straw to make 1t higher.
Take all the old trimming off,
and remember you have more latitude
this year than last for color. If the hat
is pretty brown straw, you may draw
loosely about and over The crown piece
OF green satin, and in the folds, standing
we'll up in the center, put loose spray
OF pink roses, with foliage and stems
and bud or so beside the big full blown
rose. A bit of the spray is run through
a slit in the straw in the back and comes
out against the hair. This is great
trick this season in the trimming of hats.
You know how often when the hat is
iust right, an end of a feather. a stem Of
rose, or bit OF ribbon won't 60 any
where? Just snip little elit in the hat
and push the offending piece through.

You have made up your mind not to
keep trying it on while you make it be-
cause, after all, one can't tell anything
about a half made hat and it is SO dis
couraging. To be sure, it looks more
discouraging when it is all done, but
then you know how hats are
this season. they look like nothing

30 pretty on the wearer, 60 you put

fiop only came little further to the

because the straw is so soft, 90 you put

lies on the hat from the back along each
side. The center of the hat ia lett quite

not be lost. A pretty bow is put on the
