MUCH NE EDED.

Among the good things which this con-
gress may provide for the country is a
wise national bankrupt law, and that
there Is a prospect that such a measure
that leaders on both sides have viz
tually agreed to drop politics and ignore
party lines in the case in question. The
interest in the business community on
this subject is strong and has been for
years. Congress will, 1t is believed,
heed the strong prevailing sentiment on
the subject and enact good law and
one that will stand as a barrier to dis
honesty and fraud in bankruptcy cases.
A bankruptcy bill to meet the issue has
already been introduced in the House.
The New York Times says on this sub
ject: "There are few perfectly sim
pie principles that ought to be followed
in bankruptcy legislation. One and by
far the most important is that only
honest debtors should be relieved of
the obligation to pay in full, and that
all proved attempts at dishonest deal
ing should be not only discouraged, but
so far as practicable punished. A Sec
ond is that there should be entire fair
ness in the distribution of assets. that
no creditor, with or without the con-
nivance Of the debtor, should be allowed
to secure an undue advantage. A third
is that just composition voluntarily
agreed to between debtor and a sufff-
cient number of creditors should be en-
couraged. In addition to these, the re-
quirements of simplicity and conven-
fence Of procedure, economy Of costs,
and the greatest possible promptness in
settlements are so obvious that they
will generally be accepted
THE plan known as the Torrey plan
follows strictly and with great skill
these principles. 1t has the indorse-
ment of business men and business Or
ganizations to an extent never before
secured by any similar measure. It is
absolutely free from any favoritism to
any section or class or interest. We
are convinced that if it is urged with
proper energy in the House it will fin
ally be accepted by the Senate, and.
apart from currency, we know of no
legislation that would be of such great
and lasting value TO the bIlsinass of tba |
Nation"

solution OF the matter, and these the
ores have been that it was an elope-
hlent, swift ride for a DOCTOR go-as-
you-please race and chase after a fe-
male bicycle thief. This latter comes
very near hitting the mark
Wheels are so common in the West
End that they are used on nearly every
occasion, and therefore it was not very
strange that when certain young man
ana his intended decided to call on a
mutual friend they should ride on their
wheels. He rode over to her house, and
then the two rode out to their friend S
| mouse, which is near Forest Park.
| There they rested their wheels against
| the porch, where two others stood, and
| went in. .r
! On the same block lives a comedy lit
Tie miss whose bicycle suit consists of
a derby hat and boomers and some
other things. She had been over to see
her girl chum, and, it happened, had on
her wheeling clothes. AS she passed
the house where the young people were
calling she saw the wheels leaning
against the porch, and, believing that
the diamond frame belonged to a six
teen-year-old young man who lived
there, she decided to surprise him by
taking a ride on his wheel.
He will think some one has stolen
it" she said to herself, as she led the
wheel over the lawn and mounted it.
The young man and his sweetheart
had been talking in the parlor, and he,
knowing they had girlish condolences
to exchange, said he would go to the
library, where he could smoke. AS he
crossed the hall he looked out just in
time to see some one wheeling his bicy-
Gle across the lawn. For a moment he
hesitated. Then he saw this person
mount and ride away. Hastily picking
up hat, he damned it down on his
head and rushed out of the house. Seiz-
ing the first wheel he saw, his sweet
hearts, he dropped on the drop-frame
machine and pedalled away
His girl, however, had heard the
wheels rattle outside. and she looked
out of the window just in time to see a
strange man-she didn't recognize him
In a slouch hat-jumping on her wheel
She is a girl of determination. She did
not hesitate to call to her husband-that-
is-to-be. She ran out of doors, seized
started in pursuit. The wheel really
belonged, however, to the sixteen-year-
old brother of the girl on whom she was
calling, and he hearing the door slam,
went to the window just in time to see
a woman in long skirts mounting his
wheel. He came down the stairs, three
steps at time, and in another min
ute was IN pursuit Of "a female bicycle
thief"
BY this time the girl In boomers had
found she was being pursued. She
looked back and caught the CLEAN of
her pursuer's watch chain as he passed
an electric light, and thinking it was a
badge and he an officer who had seen
her take the wheel, she redoubled her
efforts. The man behind was at a dis
advantage on a drop frame, but he |
pushed bravely on. Once he looked
back and saw some one riding as fast

EnClrclinp Gray pIurnas-

A type Of hat that is absolutely cor
rect so far as the styles go, yet that is
much more often seen in the milliners
windows than on women's heads, is
shown In this picture. 1t is essentially
picture type, though by no means as
large as the picture shapes most worn.
Since most women have very little use
Tor picture hat anyway, the natural
wish is for something extremely pictur-
esque when such headwear is decided
upon. Thus it comes that there is far

greater favor for towering and droop-
ing plumes than for equally handsome
feathers that keep so closely to the
hats brim This hat was in gray felt,
the plumes gray, too. In the hate whose
plumes are more assertive their color is
usually black, and the hat itself black
velvet, with or without little relief
OF white in the trimming.
The reason that most women have lit
tie use for a picture hat is that they
are called upon to attend few functions
that demand such headwear, and that
they haven't the costume to fit the
gown. To tastefully set off pictur-
esque hat requires something very fine
In the gown, and the two must harmo-
nize in their degrees of elegance or the
whole get-up will be in the worst posi-
Bile taste. What was deemed a fitting
dress to accompany the hat Just de-
scribed was made Of Mediterranean blue
striped velvet, the plain skirt lined with
white taffeta. The blouse waist had
short basque, slashed in back and front.
and the belt, which was pointed in
front, was white satin. The fronts
turned back in revers faced with white
satin and were partly concealed by a
vest consisting of number of narrow
gathered white taffeta frills, white chif-
fOn finished neck and wrists. SO it
will be seen that between dress and hat
there was little choice each was as fine
as the other
Belts to be worn over fur should be
either Of fur, Of heavy undressed leath-
er or of the heaviest satin ribbon, and
the buckle should be jeweled and elab
crate. The belt must not be drawn
tight. A belt suitable for wear with A.
dress will only look foolish and ineffect-
ual when used over fur.

Mrs. S. L. Rorer writes on do We
Eat Too Much Meat?" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal, answering her own
query aflirmatively. Meat, she asserts,
''s not at all necessary to a perfect
existence. Most people, however, look
upon it as though it formed the only
food upon which they could work, and
yet many great athletes have never
touched it. Meat after it enters the
stomach and is digested may be in
jurious but for all this ordinary Ameri-
can has made up his mind that lean
meat gives him less trouble than any
other food so he takes it in large guam
titles, invariably breaking down at mid
die life with just such diseases as come
from the over-use of concentrated nit
rogenous foods.
children fed on beef juice and beef
soups, with white bread, lose the various
salts necessary to the building of bones,
teeth and muscle, and the soda for the
blood. The outer part of the wheat,
which is so rich in these earthly salts, is
cast aside, so that the child in growing
gets weak bone structure as frame for
its lean flesh. The stalwart men of
Scotland find that porridge and milk
contain all the muscle, bone and nerve
food necessary for an active existence.

the other hand forms an acculumlation

son has bulk without strength; his vital
power is always deficient, while the eX
cess of nitrogenous food which he con-
sumes increases the tendency to disease

once that the surplus is burned and

Married, Divorced, Married Again.

divorced couple applying for another

in the office OF register of wills at Wilkes

the fever of divorce. An excuse was
framed and the couple We're separated

ward and every time they did the old
love, not altogether dead, burst into
fresh flame. They thought of old times
and agreed finally to wed again, which
they did. The event was celebrated
even more ioyonsly than it was at first.
