UYou're It.v

Boys, do you know why you say,
you're itw when playing tag? or course
not; the professor didn't, either, when
we asked him the other day, but he
promised to put his entire mind upon
so important a subject and let us know
ut once.
This is what he says, though with
some of his big words left out:
"The people who live over in En-
gland do not think much of the letter
H. being in the habit of dropping 1t
from the words where It belongs and
putting it where 1t does not belong.
What fun there is in 1t, or why do they
do 1t, no one can tell; but they have
been In the habit of 1t for a good many
hundred years.
$50, when they played tag, as boys
do now, touching each other with their
hands, whenever one boy hit another
: he at once shouted out: You're itv
for he could not say hit you know.
"And all the generations of little
boys who have since then been play
ing the game continued to say lit in
stead Of hit even after our fathers
learned I'm America to always put their
his in every other word where they
belonged.
'Now, boys, let me whisper a word
of warning. Don't tell your teacher
what the professor says. II you do
she'll never give you any peace, but
will rap on the window at every recess
and tell you to say hit instead Of

over the shoulders, rolling collar and

often meet and blend to such an extent
that at little distance they look as, IL

this sort appears in the final illustra-

no trace Of the illusion. Here the bod
ice fastens ut the side and has the usual
baggy front, but terminates ut the
waist, being finished with a belt with
sash ends Of apple green satin. The
elbow sleeves show three ruffies that
drape balloon foundation, and there
is a sleeveless jacket Of heavy cream
guipure whose fronts meet at the neck,
but stand apart at the waist.
Byron collars are square at the back,
spreading to points on the shoulders,

go all around. These may be worn with
with jackets, with the effect of an en-
tire blouse. Extremely trying collars
in spotted muslin come with some Of
the "sets." These are merely q ruffle

about the base of the neck with no

For these the material that comes next
after crepon is flannel. All kinds are
shown, from the delicate baby flannel
that Is half silk to the simple and pretty
flannelette materials, ''half wool and
four-fifths cotton" Muslin and wash
material sound pretty for summer, but
for a nation that makes a point Of es-
Gaping hot weather in the summer and
dwelling amid the GOODNESS of the sea-
shore and mountains, the warmer mate
rails are more suitable. A blouse Of
biscuit gray, a new shade-more appe-
tizing for blouses, be 1t said, than for
biscuits-is made with the new lego
mutton sleeve that Is one piece from
shoulder to wrist, fits the outline of the
arm all the way on the under side and
hangs in a great bag puff over the ell
bow, being tight to the arm below from
elbow to wrist. The flannel Is drawn to
faultless fit under the arm and about
the side curve Of the bust From the
throat, widening little over the bust
line and narrowing again at the waist,
the material falls in careless but be-
coming folds that are gathered into the
belt without any overbagging. Below
the belt the blouse extends to hip length
in easy fulness. Belt and high gathered
collar are Of black satin, tiny rosettes
appearing at each side Of the collar.
This combination of biscuit gray and
black is a new one. and adds faint
pink to the sallowest complexion, just
the complexion that could not attempt
the genuine biscuit color with its own
suggestion Of sallowness.

and want to do the blouse front stylish

ger model Black and white striped
pique is taken crosswise for the skirt.

Bees, said Farmer william Russell to
q reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune,
are just like human beings. When they
are busy they are virtuous and peacea-
BILE; but when In idleness they become
vicious, given to foolish actions that
dissipate the strength OF the colonies
and make the work Of the beekeeper
twice as arduous. Last year the season
ran SO that the bees were busy all the
time. The blossoms came In rotation
and the bees always had something to
do. They made honey very fast and the
BUSINESS was prosperous.
This season there has been less honey
to gather and the bees, with nothing to
busy themselves upon, have devoted
their time to frolic and idleness. The
old rhyme,
How doth the busy bee
Improve each shining hour"
Is. all nonsense. The bees are marvels
Of thrift and industry when they have
work to do. but they can be quite as
foolish as men.
The talk of the idle drone" Is anoth-
err foolishness that has crept into the
language through ignorance. The
drone is the male bee. He has no bus
mess to gather honey; his function is
altogether different and quite as impor-
tant as that Of the worker. He is the
father of the hive, and when his work
has been performed he is killed of as
useless. ray

the news that has been published during
the last ten days that a confederation of
the Central American republics has been
formed. Minister Aries of Honduras, and
Ministerz Gomez of Nicaragua, and Estup-
mas OF San Salvador, individually offer
the cooperation of their countries to
Guatemala in the event of war with Mcxi-
co to repel the invasion. The war cloud
hangs heavy owe Mexico and from the
outlook Mexico has no recourse but to de-
clare war against the federation of Central
America.
President Diaz and his Cabinet are still
in session. AT the Mexican Jockey Club,
of which President Diaz's fatlcr-in-law is
president, a subscription was started
toward the Inauguration of the war fund
and in less than five minutes over $4,000
had been subscribed.
1t is frequently stated that hundreds of
thousands will be forthcoming from this
source ON Short notices. Both sides are
masssing troops on the frontier of the dis
puted territory and non-combatants are
leaving that section post haste.
The Americans here entertain President
Diaz's views on the war.

City of Mexico special: If Mexico i.
pushed into the fight over the international
boundary, her policy will be as outlined
from the first by President Diaz and hi
Cabinet, to the effect that this dispute AMI
other little matters will be settled once ami
forever, and that the necessary means viii
he used to that end. 1t is pro.
phesied in some quarters that Mcxic,
will settle the boundary line by quietly
appropriating the whole Guatemalan re-
public as part of the Omitted States Of
Mexico" with the City of Mexico as its
capital and with the chief executive of this
republic as its ruler. The Mexican author
tiles decline to discuss the matter, how
ever, and it is exceedingly improbable that
such Il proposition has been seriously con-
sidcrcd except as a last resort, andaftcr all
other plans for reconciliation had failed.
Troops have been concentrated at all
Pacific and gulf ports, andthe Government
has chartered two merchantmen, now in
Acapulco. In case of war the invasion
will be made from several points, princi.
pally from the Pacific side.
