The Boy In the Bundle.

An Iowa boy recently passed through
an experience which he will not forget if
he lives to the 100 years old He is only
five years old. and one day when his father
went to the wheat field to drive the har-
vester he took him along and oerched him
on the high seat at his side.
For time all this was very interesting,
but presently the little fellow grew tired
and began to squirm and complain. And
then. just as his father was leaning over
chinery, off tumbled the little fellow to
the conveyor. He shrleked just once and
his father tried vsinly.t to stop the horses.
But before he could even slacken the speed
the boy had been driven up through the
elevator canvas with half bundle of
wheat, the binding Irvine ad twisted
swiftly around his neck and legs and he
was rolled out on the wide carrier securely
bound in a wheat bundle. He was almost
choked and there was tiny bit of skin
torn from his shoulder, but otherwise he
was unhurt when his father cut the String
and helped him up again. But a worse
frightened boy would have been hard TO
find.

How to Wear Corsets,

FROM hhafper fsdZhr
Wear nothing under the corsets but a
SILK or Hsle-thread knitted vest Over the
| vest put on the drawers az smoothly fitted
| to the hips as possible, all fullness drawn
| smoothly back, with the yoke edge below
| the waist line. Nothing else belongs under
corsets.
With pair of long silk laces lace in the
| usual way but with the draw holes a little
lower than the belt line. Open out the
| facings to their utmost stretch. even all the
length of back. Take rough Turkish
towel, double, and hold one end by the
chin pressed against the breast so that the
towel hangs doubled over the front Of the
body. almost to knees Hook the corsets
loosely around the body, with the towel
inside.
Begin slowly at the very bottom to draw
in the laces. Stop. bend forward, pull the
bottom of corsets down with one hand at
the same time pull the towel slowly I'D
with the other for a space of few inches
then draw little tighter the bottom of
the lacing.
Bend forward and draw UP the towel
while pulling down corsets, first on one
side, then on the other. Work the hips
into place by twisting to right and left.
In this way draw up the towel while tight
ening the laces from bottom up. When the
towel is drawn out pull the laces taut tie
firmly either at back or crossed and drawn
to the front and tied under one edge of
oosn me oach opening must present a
slender V-shape meeting at the bottom.
Don't wear a corset cover except when IL
is fully bcned as a blouse lining
The upper skirt should not have a band,
but be fatty fitted to the hips; a small hook
on the busk prevents the skirts from riding
up in front. Except for slender figures, I
advise the under skirt basted to the lower
edge of corsets. / do not think that a few
hours of tight corsets put on in this way
can injure woman II there is no dragging
weight at the same time. For ordinary
house wear 1 believe in no corsets nor
health waists of any kind. The body re-
quires to breathe from the pores of the
skin.
These suggestions to plump women are
given by an artist who has made a study
of the subject In her own case

Under present conditions. no." he says.
Il think Salvatore time will stand. You
be fairly compared. If your horse had the
wind at his back all the time, If he was
shielded from the wind as a cycler is with
his pacing machines. 1t would be different,
but horse runs all alone. Yet on spe-
cially prepared track with q trihe of slope
downward. as some fast tracks are built
now, stratghtaway track, mind you, and
with everything in his favor. I think a
horse could be found today who would beat
that time of Salvatore. 1t should be pos
sible to bring the record down several Sec
onds. The general run of horses are GER
tainly faster than they used to be. The
beat time now.'
FavOrs the Horse.
Representing the west as trainer and
owner, though he now spends much of his
time racing east. is II. Eugene Leigh,
enormously successful recently on the turf.
His success as owner and manager of
horses may be best appreciated from the
fact that he was the man who made $780,
900 sale of Kingston to keene about fort
night ago. The value of Leigh's opinion in
matter of this kind is that he knows the
great racing field of the west as well as he
does the east.
The tracks of the west are faster than
those of the east" says Mr.. Leigh, land
very many horses out there can do the
mile on an ordinary track in under 1.40.
Where there was one horse that could run
in the 3Os a few years ago, there are now
dozen. In fact, We think very little about
it, and time is not being considered now
adays In England now there is no such
thing as official timing on the tracks. All
they care about is competition, and we are
coming more and more to that view.
Yet horses are certainly becoming
faster, though they are not bred and
trained for that. The pacing and the trot-
ting records are being lowered, and could
pick out dozen horses today that l am
fairly sure, under good conditions, could
beat the running record. A bicycle track
is built for speed; ours, on the contrary,
are not. You seldom find a track with
turns, and there is no such thing
as effective pacing. If a horse could be
paced and the wind kept off him, with the
track in condition for records, he could
certainly do some seconds better than Sal
vator did. Just how far the record could
be made to drop 1 cannot say. But there
is no attempt being made to lower it just
now"

tai, and thenceforth IT is the matter of a
cab. There are no connections.
The passenger from England to Belgium,
say, must descend at the Care Saint-I.azare
and make his way across the city TO the
Care du Nord. IN the matter of suburban
lines 1t is no better. A trolley enterprise
was imagined by it's promoters to have
secured franchises to establish a half
dozen lines from Paris to as many outlying
towns. This was a year ago. and they
have not yet been able to commence opera
tons. The whole plan is threatened by the
objections of Parisians. not only to trolley
wires and poles, but even to an increased
number of street car lines.
AS to omnibuses. two truths are axio-
matte First. there not enough omni-
buses. Second, there are too many omni-
buses. There are not enough for the traf-
ffc. but too many distractions The
Metropolitan is. therefore. a crying neces-
sity to the Parisians. But it has been a
crying necessity for years. II will have
needed nothing less than a worlds fair

a people who love elegance and beauty,
rather than the saving of their time to

railway running through Paris cutting the

n Sensible Fad.

From HarpeFs Bazaar.
One of the most sensible "fads'' among
the girls just now is to save up all their
old jewelry, old gold thimbles which have
the tops worn off, gold fob chains. gold
bracelets and pins. and even necklaces and
take them TO some reliable ieweler. who
will either melt them down and make what
she wants out of them, or else will ex-
change them, allowing her for the weight
of the gold. One girl made a collection for
several years of broken bits of jewelry,
and, with some of her grandmother's add
ed to them, sold them to her own jeweler,
and now is the happy possessor of a beau
uful pearl necklace which she got in ex-
change.

HOPES FOR ANNEXATION.
Dresses Would Be Cheaper, Says n
Hawaii School Ma'am.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Oct. 2O.--
Miss Anna B. Clapperton, who was a
resident of this vicinity several years
ago, and is now a teacher in young
ladies' seminary at Kohala, Hawaiian
islands, has recently written a, letter
to friend touching particularly upon
the alleged troubles between Japan
and the United States over the islands.
Miss Clapperton is of the opinion that
the trouble has been greatly exaggerat-
ed She says:
1--WE hope for annexation early next
year Next years sugar crop is a
failure, through want of rain. The
rainfall for the past two years has
been very much less than formerly, and
now is becoming a serious problem
Without rain these islands would be
perfect heaps of lava rock, without a
vestige of green. Not only this district
has suffered this year, but all Of the
islands.
"Oh. well, postage will be cheap and
it won't cost fortune to get a dress
if we are annexed; SO for the sake of
school marms, I hope Uncle Sam will
be gallant enough to take US under his
wing.
81 am surprised 10 find that there
are only 1000 whites, Europeans and
Americans on the islands, and 1 Won
Qer HloIe liidH ever Ho" lHe american
element managed to hold It's own. 1
was told yesterday that one of the
plantation men in this district had been
prophesying for several years that the
japanese would cause serious trouble
He has seen a growing discomfort
among the laborers and can feel now
the spirit OF restlessness that Is among
them stronger than ever. If they should
take 1t into their heads to have their
own way, goodbye, for they are PACK
of 'de'ils' when they get at it. How
ever, I think the man who prophesies
is somewhat pessimistic."

much attention here. 1t appears that New
York banks have loaned to London a large
amount of money on long sterling bills Evi
dences of this are very scanty here at pres

an operation can pay with discount rates

entirely discredited. The Paris and Berlin

BAR SILVER UP.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The price Of bar sill
yer in London rose 3-16 Of penny today to
273sd, and in New York the price rose 1kc,
to 59Ac. This carries the price above the
rally of Sept. 20 when it went to 274d IN
London, and 591sd in New York. Todays
price of silver has not been equalled since
July Il, when 1t was II 7-16d In London, ana
59ssc in New York. The present strength Of
silver is attributed to various causes. There
is at present good mintage demand in Lon
don, and there is also some covering of spec
ulatiye short sales. This is coupled with
present scarcity of supply. The Indian de-
mand for silver also continues good.

OF speculation was not large in wheat today,
we have to record and active market The
activity, however was at the expense Of val.
ues, weakness being the chief feature Of
the morning session. The character of the
trading was largely OF the scalping order
together with the letting go OF small holdings
by disheartened longs. The action of the
market kept the trade guessing
Private advices from the Argentine reported
good rains thus confirming the news OF a
day or two ago, that the outlook was good
for large crop in that country At hons
the outlook is more cheerful for the winter
wheat crop and also for fall plowing in the
Northwest. Another depressing feature dur
ing the morning was the fear that Bradstreet's
report would show a large increase in the
worlds visible. The trade generally affect
to throw discredit Bradstreet's figures from
week to week but nevertheless await this
report with anxiety every Tuesday and
Wednesday. Today it was reported that for
eigners we're free sellers at the seaboard
