Summer sleeves.

All the pretty diminuendo variations
possible to the artistic and inventive
genius of the dressmaker are used upon
the tops Of the summer sleeves, which,
without exception, are trim, close and
plain in effect on the forearm. The
gowns of net, organdie, null and SINH
lar transparent materials have sleeves
that are shirred in spiral or serpentine
fashion round and round the arm, or
they are laid in the minutest tucks or
lightly pulled over a net foundation.
Sometimes the puffs are used alone CT
alternating with fat bands of insertion.

On looking at n late map of Missouri
n will find the name Log" as a post
office at the extreme western end Of
Newton courtyard about eight miles
south west Of Grand Falls. A few days
ago Deputy United States Marshal Short
had occasion to serve papers from the
Oklahoma federal court N several per-
ons residing in that direction, and he
was given their p~ostoffice address as
Log. As it was not a familiar name in
this vicinity he wandered about the
hills until he came to the end of a log
house extending from the brush and
concluded that it was the place he was
searching for. He asked for the post
master, and a woman replied that she
was the official, and upon inquiry as to
her name the officer also learned that
she was one of the parties to be subpe-
naed. She wal also asked why her office
was called Log and stated that she
didn't know exactly, but that when the
Office was first established it was called
"Loghouse, " which the postoffice de-
partment considered too lengthy, SO it
dropped the ''house. kansas City

OUR AMERICAN PoLicY.

The policy Of this country regarding foreign
complications seems likely to remain conserva-
tive. The Monroe doctrine, according TO the
declaration of our leading politicians, will be
sustained, but patience and prudence in Ctiieial
quarters will restrain the exubernnee of public
opinion. The wisest and most prudent course
for the rheumatic and the malarious is TO use
Hostetter's Stomach Bittels, which also cures
kidney complaint and dyspepsia.
