Little Notes of the Modes

Among the prettiest and -smsrtest
Of the late season shirtwaists are
those of linen with narrow, GEAR
stripes of red or blue. With these
are worn very narrow string ties of
blue or red satin in shade just IT,
match the stripe, and belts to match
closed with small, neat buckle.
Such waists launder we'll and will
help one to finish out the season
without that washed out and faded
look that comes to the shirtwaists
that. have knowna summers wear.

One of the new favortte ways of
utilizing large, irregularly formed
pearls is to string three on very
fine gold thread. The thread is long
enough to pass around the throat,
tie under the chin and have two
ends hanging for about two or three
inches. At the point where the
thread ties one large pearl is fixed,
while Two others finish off the ends
of the fine chain. A large queerly
shaped black, yellow and pink pearl
is considered the most appropriate
combination for such a necklace.

This season has been unusually dry
as few light showers that have not
made any impression whatever'is the
total of the moisture we have received
for months. The roads are in such a
condition that the slightest disturb
ance raises cloud OF dust. The ben
eft however received by the farmers
through this dry season have been
many. 1t has permitted him to mar
ket his entire crop without loss Of
time or grain through continual mois-
ture. 1t has lessened his winter ex-
penses by allowing stock to remain
longer on the range. The chances for
it lessening the crop next year will be
. matter of the future. If sufficie nj
snow falls this winter and we receive
good rains next spring the crops will
not be shortened by this dry portion
of the year. We hope that Providence
will SO regulate the life-giving moist
ure that next year will amply reward
the farmer for his labor

Without taking issue either way as to
the action of the voters-a matter
solely with the future-we content
ourselves with giving the result. The
western and coast states gave decided
republican majorities, while in the
eastern states the tendency was more
in favor of the democrats, particular
ly in congressional districts, the last

the beggars sell these tickets and the
other half buy them. From the re-
ceipts of this lottery Spain receives
one-fourth and they would gladly pay
the same bride to the new Cuban gov

and they have cause. The same grave
lies open for the Royal Lottery that
holds that extinct infamy which hail

But this goes to show the standard

In our late struggle with Spain we
gained several new possessions. These
domains were taken from country
whose sole aim was robbery, cruelty
and oppression toward the subjects
for wealth and power. Ths United
States takes upon itself the response

civilized people. We must as Their
guardian encourage them by good
government and careful education
that they may in time be factor in

Many farmers in this county who a
few years ago did not have the cash to
buy "nigger's breakfast" and who
were depending entirely upon their
credit with the local merchant,
are now renting their farms to ten
ants from the east and moving to
town to enjoy life of comfort and
give their children the advantages Of
school facilities. Adams county is all
right, and the man who is now the
tenant will in few years become the
landlord and i'll his turn enjoy the
fruits of his labor. All that is neces-
sary to succeed in this county is indus
try and just business principles.

The peace commission at Paris is
still in session and no settlement is
reached as yet. Spain yet seems to
have an idea that she can fight the
United States successfully. This idea
has either grown since cessation Of
hostilities or she is counting the sup
port of other powers. We judge that
if her courage rises sufficiently for her
to resume the war the United States
will be compelled to show the "Don's
honor" what honor really means.
