What Can Be Done With q Cent.

A few years ago the Episcopal church
of small Maryland town was IN want
of an aims basin. The congregation
was for the most part poor, and few
in numbers The minister in charge
appointed young girl committee OF
one to collect subscriptions. The
amount needed was SIS, for an aims
basin costing that much had been
heard of for sale by more prosperous
parish, that had outgrown the one
with which it started in life.
The young woman's first call was at
the store of well.to-do merchant.
Asking something from him for her
fund, she received the following ro-
ply, spoken in a very gruf voice: 81
can give you nothing;" but as she
turned to leave, he added: "There,
you may have that if it will do you
any good" and suiting the action to
the word, threw down on the counter
q cent. Mortified and absshed, her
first impulse was to leave it where he
thrown it, but better Judgment pre-.
vailing she picked it up, thanked him
and left.
Without going further she returned
home and told her mother that she
would not ask for anything more and
run the chance of such treatment
second time. "Take the cent, my
DEAR" the mother said, sand show
what you can do with it." She fol-
lowed this advice and bought small
china doll, and, dressing it in some
scraps which she had, sold it to o
friend for her little daughter. Hav.
ing increased her capital 400 per cent,
she invested it in a spool of crochet
ing cotton. with which she worked
several small articles, and the sale Of
these brought her in S1.2O. This was,
in turn, used to purchase cotton ma
terial, out of which were made several
dresses for small children, that netted,
when sold, the desired s., when the
aims basin was duly bought.
This story was told to q lady OF
Socialiatic views, who was constantly
complaining that she was not rich,
and saying she could lay so little by
it was not worth while to save; the
answer was: eyes, she got her S., but
what lot of work she had to do."

The Chenab Irrigation Canal in tho
Northwest Provinces, India, is said
to be the widest canal in the world.
It is 10 feet broad and will be in
creased to 200 feet broad when fin
ished. The head works are at Kanki,
where q shutter dam about one and an
eighth miles long extends across the
river. When finished the main chan
mel of the canal will be 450 miles
long, while the principal branch
channels will have an aggregate
length OF 1000 miles, and the village
branches will be about 1000 miles
long. Already ESQ, 1000 acres are sup
piled with irrigating water, and the
completed work is expected to bring
in a revenue of about sixty-five lakhs
of rupees per annum.-New York Ad'

attention to the letter of fashion any
how. They take the suggestion and
dress it up to suit their individual
needs, and that makes American
women the best dressed in the world.
American women, as class, have not
worn the excessively wide skirts COM
planned of by the French authority.
The well-groomed woman has too
much sense to go to the extreme in
anything.
1t is true that the skirts are going
to be wider, but have you seen the
fabrics that they will be made Of?
Why, they are SO sheer and fine that
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1895-03-27

you will be able to draw the whole
skirt through your finger ring.
The stores are full of the new sum-
mer goods. Organdy will be the
craze, if the counters will tell the
truth, and anything prettier than
organdy can scarcely be mentioned.
It comes in all the daintiest and most
delicate shades, and is drifted over
with bouquets of blossoms that are so
real looking you almost think you can
smell them. Most of the designs are
large, but few are small and deli
cate. A single violet, or a long
stemmed crocus with a leaf or two.
The purple iris is one OF the favor
ties, and an exquisite half-blown moss
rose is another that attracted universal
attention. These organdies are to be
worn over colored slips, and will have
great deal of ribbon garniture, and
quantities of lace. By the way, lace
will be more worn during the summer
than ever before. The always favor
ite Chantilly will be in the fore front.
For the organdies and mulls, some
delicate white laces are exhibited,
which have net tops, with borders of
Milanese, Spanish and Pompadour
patterns interviewer in bewitching de-
signs. The Vandyke laces will be as
much in demand as ever, but will
come in the soft Chantilly patterns.
The new French lawns are as charm
ing as can possibly be imagined. They
come in very fine quality and at rea-
sonable prices. The flower tracings
take one back to great-grandmother's
day, and it seems as though there
ought to come from the lavender and
sandal wood scents that used to cling
around her garments. Delicate shades
of green predominant, and pink, real
plush rose pink, comes next. Hello
trope in its varying shades will be as
much worn as ever, and blue seems to
have taken new lease on life, too.
OF course tie silk mulls and dotted
Swisses are out in force. They will
have colored slips also, to match the
ribbons worn with them, or can be
worn in all their virgin purity, if SO
desired.
To wear with these organdies and
lawns, and with sheer white goods, are
ribbons with bouquets of flowers en-
broi9eIed on them. At least, they

but as ribbons are already worn on
everything everywhere, one can only
say that new phase of them has been
added.
There is decided change in sleeves.
They drop-or they droop-just as
YOU like to state it. For ball gowns,
they simply slide right off the shoul-
der, as in the design, which represents
a bowknot sleeve of lisse caught in the
center, with flower or any fancy
thing you like to put there. Some

To Clean Clothes.

According to the American Analyst
the proper way of restoring old clothes
is as follows: Take, for instance, q
shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers
of broadcloth, cashmere or diagonal.
The scourer makes q strong, warm
soapsuds, and plunges the garment
into it, souses it up and down, rubs
the dirty places, and if necessary, puts
it through second time; then rinses
it through several waters and hangs it
up to dry on the line. When nearly
dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an
hour or two. and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside
of the coat and the iron passed over
that until the wrinkles are out; but
the Iron is removed before the steam
ceases to rise from the goods, else
they would be shiny. Wrinkles that
are obstinate are removed by laying
wet cloth over them and passing the
iron over that. If any shiny places
are seen, they are treated as the
wrinkles are-the iron is lifted while
the full cloud of steam rises and
brings the nap with it. Cloths should
always have suds made specially for
them, as in that which has been used
for white cotton or woolen cloths lint
will be left in the water and will cling
to the cloth. In this manner we have
known the same coat and trousers to
be renewed time and time again, and
have all the look and feel of new gar
ments. Good brcadcloth and its fell
low cloths will bear many washings,
and look better every time because of
them.

Home, Sweet Home.

"Home, Sweet Home" Payne's
song, was originally q number in the
opera "Clari, the Maid of Milan," a
production brought out in 1928. The
opera was a failure, and nothing is
now known of it save the one song,
which became instantly popular.
Over 100, 900 copies were sold in the
first year of its publication, and the
sole in one form or another has been
constant ever since the first appear
anoe Of this beautiful theme. The
melody is Sicilian folk-song, and
was adapted to the words by Payne
himself. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Is so important that you should be sure
to get THE BEST. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has proven its unequalled merit by
its thousands of remarkable cures, and
the fact that it has a larger sale than
any other sarsaparilla or blood puri-
fer shows the great confidence the
people have in it. In fact it Is the
Spring Medicine. It cures all blood

gives such strength to the whole system

No Snch Thing.

The quality Of endurance Of or indifference
to what in other men produces shock or re
pulsion is said to belong to men without
nerves. There is no such thing and cannot
be. The finer the physical development the
keener perhaps is the sensibility to pain:
Let neuralgia put on its harness for raid
and get after such men, the nerves will be
found all quivering at once. And so this
malady works, creeping ugly foe to health
bent on torture and misery, until it meets its
antipathy, St. Jacobs Oil, which cures and
conQuers, quickly, surely.

superintendent Tom Lane Has rendered
HIS Resignation.
ANGELS CAMP. CAL, Oct. 21.-Tom T.
Lane has rendered his resignation as super
lntendent of the Utica mine. He proposes
to devote bis attention to the development
OF a mine near Jenny Lind in which he Is
interested.
The extent of the ore body in the Jenny
Lind mine is incalculable The sulphuret
Is OF rebellious character, but large
quantity OF it was successfully worked two
weeks ago and proved very rich The
rock can be extracted through tunnels and
drifts without sinking. as there is practi-
cally solid mountain of it, 1t is pre-
dlcted that this property will exceed in
production the great Utica mine A
slxty,stamp mill will be erected imme-
dintely.
Superintendent Lanes resignation has
not been accepted, but it Is generally un-
derstood he will insist upon it unless ar
engagements are made so that he can
devote portion of his time to his own
interests. If successor to him should be
appointed the responsibility will probably
TALL on William Miller, for years under
ground foreman.

TO OPEN CASCADE RESERVE
Homes for Many Settlers May Be Proyided
BY the Interior Depart
mont

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 2l.-State Land
Agent Davenport, accompanied by W. w.
Hepburn, will make tour of Santiam
country above Mill City and Gates in a
few days for the purpose of gathering data
to present to the department at Washing
ton to influence the opening for settlement
OF portion of the Cascade reserve
along the line of the Oregon Central ana
Eastern Railroad. 1t is likely a monster
petition will be signed on both sides of
mountain range demanding the opening
of a wide strip for settlement, and more
than likely that the final result will be
that the whole Cascade reserve as at pres
ent outlined may be restored to the public
domain. This action may be followed by
the establishment of two Government re-
serves more in line with reason, as indi-
Gated by Senator Mitchell, who recently
wrote letter to Agent Davenport in which
he said:
in my opinion large body of land on
either side of the Oregon Central and
Eastern Railroad ought to be thrown open.
l never favored the establishment of this
reservation in it's present form. 1 did
favor reservation taking in Mount Hood
and reasonable amount of land surround
ing, and also that great wonder, Crater
Lake and reasonable amount of land
surrounding it, but l do think a wide
swath through the reservation should be
cut out and thrown open to settlement,
mineral operations, etc. l hope you will
get up good petition on the subject
