occurred; women were waited for,
babies were helped on and of, AMI
every loyal person in town was ex-
pected to patronize the cars, and it

Plaids Of gorgeous hues will be used
for both trimmings and entire cos

more artistic combinations than in
any past season. Plaids, this year,

color-schemes are delicate, rather than
startling. A variety of shades Of one
rich color, invariably barred with lines
CT black and white, is the latest Pari-
sian novelty. Some of the color-effects
are exquisite; a dark wine-color and
rose pink taffeta are marked off In
two-inch square plaids, with black and
white stripes of satin. The same
plaided effect is brought out in diff
ferent shades of violet, blue, green,
brown or bright red. All .he plaids
are large, say from two to four inches
square, and many of the most bril-
liant effects are shown in the fashion

Why Keep a Prohibition Hotel.

Mr.. r. Dennis, a proprietor of the
Central hotel, Eldred, Mexican county,
Pa, prints on the back Of his business
card the following reasons for keeping
a prohibition hotel: 1. 1t is more re-
spectacle. 2. 1t is our home and the
home of the respectable traveller. 3.
We can keep . cleaner and better
house, and enjoy life much better. 4.
We can thus set good example and
help make our country better. 5. We
can help lead the young men in the
right direction, and try to do some
good in life, 6. We want to make a
respectable home for all Christian
preachers. Z. We can establish the
fact that it is possible to keep good
house without selling poison. s. We
believe liquor selling to be the worst
crime known except the legalization OF
this great evil by the church members
to whom we should look for good ex-
amples. 8. Because the result Of the
license system is: Distilleries, danger,
damage, drunkenness, disorder, dis
grace, delusion, delirium, disease, defl-
Ing, defying destroying, designation,
destitution. disability, dissolution, de-
structon, death, and damnation
Friend! What is the duty Of man?
Let us point upward. Prohibition will
give us Peace, Prosperity and Plenty.

Novelty in Cotton Pressing.

fame has spread all over the country,
and the people are anxious to see the

THREE FAMOUS WOMEN.

The Queen of Holland, although
warm-hearted, has the defect of her
qualities. Like most impulsive peo-
pie she not infreQuently speaks, with
out Thought or intent, words which
moment later she would gladly recall.
Some time ago she was sitting for her
portrait to De Longe, the famous
Dutch painter. She began to show
signs of impatience, and at last petu-
lantly exclaimed to her mother in
French: Mother, this everlasting
painter is boring me to DEATH" The
artist proceeded in silence for a few
moments. then, putting away his pa
lette and brushes, said in excellent
French: "That will do for to-day"
The young Queen turned crimson with
CONSERVATION. When she was in
England the Prince of Wales asked
her what she thought of the English
people. She answered: Il am aston
isled to find them SO nice and f.miable.
I should never have thought it from
tho specimens l have seen in Hol-
laId!"
The finest pearls in Europe are
owned by the Duchess of Cumberland,
sister of the Princess Of Wales About
these pearls-which are valued at ST..
000,0 0,000-there is an interesting story.
His Majesty George III. gave them TO
Queen Charlotte, who, treating them
as a personal gift, left them to her
son, the Duke of Cumberland, who af-
terWards became King of Hanover.
Their extreme value and their beauty.
and a very clear presumption that
they were State jewels, led to a claim
being made for their return to the
British Crown early in the present
reign. This claim was combated ty
the Hanoverian Government, and 1t
WAS not until special commission
had sat upon the question that it was
decided that the jewels had really been
the personal property of Queen Char
lotto, and that therefore her will was
to stand.

RICH PHARSEE WOMAN.

Not long ago there was borne to the
"tower of silence" in far-off Bombay
the body of her who was in her time
the most enlightened, the wealthiest
and the most philanthropic of Parses
women. This was the justly renowned
Bal Motlibai Wadia, widow Of mil
lionaire Parsee merchant of Bombay.
Bal Motlibai was 1O1 years old when
she died, and had survived her hus-
band over thirty years. 1t is calcu
lated that she had in her time given
thirty lakhs, or 100000 rupees (about
S1,5OO,0O0), to public charities, besides
fully 100000 in private almsgiving.
Some years ago she presented to the
City of Bombay the first Indian hos
pital for native women. The hospital
site was also her gift, and, together
with the necessary endowmenys, this
magnificent present cost her over ST.
100000. But so enormous was the
good woman's fortune that her heirs
were left several hundred lakhs Of
rupees.
