The Athletic Young Woman Wears
1t With Grace and Comfort.

Many Of the swell Sportswomen who
are devoted to athletic amusements.
such as yachting, cycling, rowing,
golf and tennis, have adopted the
English sweater with effusion. A
woman with a fine form shows up ex-
tremely we'll in a sweater, which
clings to the figure without wrinkle

black and cream are the fayorite
weayes, some fancy and others plain
and ribbed. They are put on over
the head and fastened with small
bullet buttons OH the shoulder; Others
are laced with & Silken cord on one
side; the M st perfect fitting ones
are ribbed like the top of mans hose
for about the depth of five inches at
the waist line; this adjusts them
closely to the figure; the sleeves at
the wrists are treated in the same
manner. The full-topped sleeve, which

is stylish.
Although the SWeat ter has it's draw

its favor, and for boating, cycling,
fishing, ETC., it is eminently we'll
adapted. The sweater has an air OF
Jaunty independence, and is natty, be-

letic girls who are fond of wearing
quaSl-maSculine garments have adopt

HINTS FOR CAMPERS.
This Outdoor Life Is Becoming More
and More Common.

An experienced camper recommends
sleeping bag made by folding a sin
gle colored blanket, doubling it length
wise and sewing across one end and
tWO-thirdS way up the long edges. a
similar bag of cotton sheeting may be
Wea Their the latter may sometimes be
used alone. The advantage of such
protection against ants and other in
sectS is obvious. An air pillow and
cushion that can be inflated at pleas
ure are comfortable and light. Plates
should be of wood and plentifully pro-
vided, to be thrown away after each
meal. Canned provisions come in such
variety that, if there is strength in the
party to carry them, there can be a
sufficient change Of food. Out-of-door
life will provide such sauces and ap-
petites as are beyond description.
This outfit is suitable for those
longer excursions that are INDUCED in
more seldom by women than by men.
It will give vigor, strength and new
and rich experiences to those who
dare to try camping out. With any
sort Of caution, there will seldom be
colds taken, even by weaklings. In
fact, for those suffering with disor-
ders of the respiratory organs there
is nothing so efficacious. Without the
advice Of competent physician, how
ever, it should not be undertaken.
Along the shores Of our lakes and
rivers the happy army Of campers is
yearly increasing in numbers Sensi-
BILE people are among them, those who
can override petty discomforts, while
they unconsciously grow to be hard,
jolly lovers Of nature.

AN ELECTRIC RADIATOR.
Another Use to Which the Current Is
Now Applied in Buildings.

An English magazine says that a
radiator is in use in a public auditori-
I'm in London. 1t is similar in ap-
pearance to some Of the steam radi-
ators, but is far lighter and is port
able. The heat is generated by cur
rent that passes through wires Offering
a high resistance; this resistance turns
the energy Of the current into heat.
The wires are concealed by the radi-
ating surface and the current is led
to them by means Of flexible conduct
ors. The radiator may be placed Wher-
ever it is needed and the current may
be controlled by switches, thus giving
any degree of heat desired. 1t is said
there is absolutely no danger Of fire.

CAUGHT BY a TURTLE.

John Wilkinson and James Holmes,
aged 9 and u, were bathing in Ly-
CARTS creek, Kentucky, last week,
when Wilkinson, wading among the
water lilies which grew in shallow
water, stepped upon a large turtle,
which at once seized his toe in it's
mouth. Young Wilkinson yelled with
fright and made for the bank, drag
ging the turtle after him, and his COM
panion came to his assistance and
tried to force the reptile to let go by
bea ting it on the back with stone.
The reptile, however, held on until it
was beaten into a jelly, and then
the boys cut off its head and pried
open its jaws with a pocketknife.

GIVE the Farmer Facts.

The average planter has but little use
for finely spun ,heory, whether it per-
tains to the relation of his condition TO
politics or whether il deals with the
best WAYS aud means Of growing the
best crops. What he wants is facts.
No one has realized this more than the
great seed firm Of ID. VI. Ferry & Co,
Detroit, Mich, who for forty years have
been studying the wants and condition
of planters, large and small, and as re-
suit have created the largest seed busi-
ness in the whole world. Without
donbt strict adherence to the policy Of
dealing in facts represents the secret of
their success. They know their seeds
are right before they are sent to the
many thousand dealers from whom the
planter gets them. The dealer knows
this to be a fact requiring no further
question, and the planter finds it to be
substantial fact when harvest time
comes. Another illustration of the
valre of this method is found In Ferry's
Seed Annual, in which there is nothing
but facts. Facts that prove of the great.
est value to every planter; facts about
how, when and where to plant, that can
be had from no other source. There
are no worthy facts left out. and no un-
worthy theories let in. This book il

LIQUOR Sailing Sohema

State Auditor Nipple has been at work
upon a scheme to settle the much vexed
liquor problem in this state and has
evolved scheme which he thinks will
stop the discussion and agitation OF the
resubmission question ut every session
of the legislature, take the question out
Of the realm Of politics. shut up the
blind pigs" and create source of
revenue for the state. Ills plan, briefly
outlined, takes into consideration the
fact that under constitutional provisions,
the only uses for which liquor can be
sold ia the state, are mechanical and
medicinal. On that basis he proposes
that the state take control Of the sale Of
liquors for these purposes; to place it
for sale only with registered pharmacists
in "original packages" at commission,
as are patent medicines; compel every
purchaser TO sign receipt for the
amount received, but demand no afi-
Iayit of the purpose for which it is in

packages to be opened or the contents
to be used in the place where il is sold !;
provides that If any pharmacist be
guilty of allowing infraction, he shall be
punished by revoking his certificate.
His plan proposes further for the ap
pointment Of a state chemist to test all
liquors to be sold and for the appoint
ment of state inspectors or prosecutors
TO conduct cases OF ISOLATION, thus
moving any fear Of adverse senir
which might control the acts of officials
who depend upon all classes of votes Of
a community for their positions. The
liquor TO be sold at q specified price,
which will he at profit sufficient TO
pay all expenses and leave small
margin of revenue to the state, which
he thinks would reach not less than
100000 year, if not a greater sum.

To those of our patrons who are in

reason Of the prolonged period Of hard
times experienced, through which VIC

insignificance, and during which period
it has been with the utmost difficulty we
have been enabled to keep the CnRoN-
IcLE craft from stranding npon the
dismal shoals of destruction, We are
fairly compelled to ask an early settle
ment of all outstanding accounts, to the
end that the existence Of the paper,
which has bourne the burden of pioneer
experiences through long years of bitter
trial, may be prolonged, and increased
in its measure of usefulness in the di-
rection of advancing the material inter
esfs of the aosnnannitu aud -L.--iI:-,,
the exceptional advantages of the
delightful and promising region in

early compliance Herewith, and that no
further solicitation on our part will be
necessary.

We write Oh New Years day, and
with the fullest realization of the grave

change beyond what We choose to make

and deems il fitting time to turn over a
new leaf, and form resolutions looking
to purer and better life. The time is
lily chosen In most cases, as experience
has shown til It new year resolutions are
AS frail and fragile as the web of the
spider, and AS brittle and infirm as the
crust Of d new years pie. But be that

solving AT any time, and in view of the
validity o: tire view We take in thi,

THE "T1MEsn LADIES EDITION

THE s'T1MEs" LADIES EDITION.
Some of the many talented and
benevolent ladies of Shreveport
have undertaken to publish from
the Times Office a "Ladies Edition"
of that journal, for the benefit of
the st. Genevieve Orphan Asylum.
1t will be an SPACE sheet, printed
on fine paper, and will be issued
about July. Aside from the worthy
cause which prompts the ladies in
this undertaking the paper will
attract attention from its novelty:
In issuing a "Ladies Edition." it is
intended to show what women can
do in journalism, and emphasize the
feminine idea of what constitutes q
readable newspaper. The ladies
will have entire control of the paper
for that day, with the exception, of
course, of the mechanical depart
ment. An editorial and local staff
has been organized, a telegraph edi-
tor and business manager selected,
also, several advertising canvassers.
The novel feature of this journal
will he what it does not contain. 1t
will not contain social scandals and
sensational accounts of brutal mur-
ders, the reading of which corrupts
society aud blunts the intellect; the
managing editor will mark out with
emphasis any telegraphic account
of prize-fight, aud instead write a
wholesome and instructive article
beneficial to humanity. The paper
will contain wholesome articles, of
tone calculated to amase and in
struct the readers. and yet give them
the news of the day. The ladies
believe that newspapers can be
printed without their sensational
features and scandalous trimmings,
aud that they will be better received
by the public. The ladies propose
to demonstrate this idea, aud as the
object is for . charitable purpose, it
should, and no doubt will be, liber-
ally patrODized.
