BARGAINS IN CLOTHING.
Some Good Suggestions rs to What
TO Buy and Wear at q Mimi
mum Expense.

For some reason which we cannot un-
derstand there is, perhaps. as much ig-
norance as 10 what constitutes valu-
able bargain in clothing as in any other
line that could be mentioned. There is
no one item. except food, on which men
have TO spend as much as on their
clothes. While this is true, most men
exercise so little caution or judgment
in purchasing clothing that large ratio
of loss 10 the consumer is the result. 1t
is a standard of civilization, when we
find men anxious 10 dress we'll To do
so al minimum expense is the highest
art. says the Textile Manufacturers
journal.
The first qualification that the buyer
must insist on is a fast color. In pur-
chasing foreign-made article be must
bear in mind that the color particularly
is liable TO give him trouble. A color
that stands very well in Europe or Eng
land. that does not give way under
leaden skies or foggy atmosphere, viii
soon succumb and look cheap and mean
in the warm. clear atmosphere and pure
sunlight of our latitudes.
a maker or seller cannot deceive a
buyer as 10 cut and fit If he has his eyes
open. If man has ordinary taste and
uses the faculties of observation 10 no.
tice the cut that looks neat and natty,
and yet not loud or extreme, he will be
able, when he buys suit for himself, TO
hit pretty near the mark

In Memory of Johnnie skipton

The sudden death Of Johnnie Skip
ton By drowning last week brought
sorrow to large number of friends
and relatives.
He was a tenderhearted and affec-
tionate child. In the Sunday school
class words about Heaven soon brought
tears to his eyes. A few weeks ago he
was made happy by a few words Of
well earned praise for bringing new
scholar. He expected to give up his
visit to the country this summer that
he might not be absent one Sunday in
the year.
The death of his mother several years
ago seemed to haYe refining influence
upon his life.
At the funeral service at the Har-
mar Congregational church the pastor
spoke from the text: Fear not, there
fore; ye are Of more value than many
sparrows." The burial was at the
Brabham cemetery.
We shall miss Johnnie here, but hope
to meet him above.
HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.
We shall meet. but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair,
We shall linger TO caress him,
When we breathe our evening prayer

HOT WATER WELLS.
In some Cases remperatures rtsses
Twenty Degrees in n single Night
Cause of the Phenomenon.

The wells in parts of Arizona have re-
Gently become producers of hot water,
and apprehension is felt by many of the
residents of the region affected that
they are about to become participants
in grand volcanic drama. In some of
the wells the temperature of the well
water rose 20 degrees in single night.
In few the phenomenon disappeared
soon after it's appearance. In major
ity Of the cases. however, the wells fair
ly steam from their newly-acquired
heat. The first known of this curious
state of affairs was q report that the
wells at Maricopa, on the Southern Pa
cifc railroad. 30 miles south of Phoenix,
had suddenly become hot, says the
Omaha Bee.
1t was four days thereafter that'the
phenomenon first was noticed dozen
miles west of that city. A test at one
well showed temperature Of nearly
100 degrees. No difference is noted in
wells in the immediate vicinity of
Phoenix,
The line of subterranean heat wave
follows the general direction of the ST.
ezra Estrella mountains, a volcanic
chain lying Immediately south of the
Gila river. Thenceitappearsto continue
on in the direction of the Harqua Hala
mountains. near which are number of
large and modern volcanic cones and
hills of drifted volcanic ash. Further
to the east the lava flows are so geolog-
ically modern as to have overwhelmed
in number Of places the cliff dwellings
of the ancients.

A CATS WHIMS 8.
She Insists Upon Having Her Own Way

ITO be continued.)

She Insists Upon Having Her Own Way
In Everything.
In st. Nicholas there is an account OF
an Angora cat named 'Pussinella,"
who belongs to little Italian girl, the
daughter Of one Of King Humbert's
aides. The cat was born in the OUR
inal, and was a gift to the little girl
from Queen Marguerite. The writer
says: Pussinella's every within and
humor are considered, and she has
many, especially about her eating; no
princess was ever half so fastidious or
exacting, or gave SO much trouble by
her capricious appetite. One day she
will have only cooked meat, another
only raw, still another none at all, but
only fowl or birds. In Genoa, she had
her own particular corner in the din
ing-room, with little carpet on which
her plate was set; but she did not al
ways eat there-no, indeed! If the
day was bright and sunny, she prefer
red the terrace, or the drawing-room,
as her mood might be. She would
walk ahead, looking back to see IL she
were being followed, until she got to
the spot where she wished her meal,
and there she would stop. She was al
ways obeyed as respectfully as any
royal queen, for her commands were
usually enforced by such frantic cries
or ominous growls, that all feared to
gainsay her, or preferred to keep the
peace. The kitchen was in the upper
story of the house, and when Pussinel-
la wished anything extra to eat, she
would go upstairs to the door, put her
head in and new, and then turn and
walk down, while the cook followed
with the food. The kitchen was no
place for so noble a lady to take her
mealsi 1 have seen five plates of diff
ferent meats brought one after another
before she could find what suited her
taste. often wondered that the cook
was so good and patient. but he adj
mired her beauty and he feared her
claws, SO the result was complete ODE
dience to her every whim.

ands of people say that it does not
protect them when away from home.
It has been said in mass meetings
that it was no longer the flag of the
free. And yet there is not one of those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in minute for that
same flag if any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against it.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom it
floats is that with all reverence for 1t
they are dreadfully irreverent with it.
The flag is something to be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way,
but when it is worn out it is cast aside
and a new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones so to- Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served
their purpose.
This by no means refers to the bat
tie flags. No, indeed. If there are
only three inches of red, white and
blue, and a single star remaining at
tached to the staff Of such banner,
the people think infinitely more of 1t
than they would of the finest thirty
foot flag that was ever made. The
poor old rent and tattered banners all
have a meaning. There is history,
tragedy, romance and sometimes hui
NOR among the memories Of the dear
old relics. Let any one who doubts
that pay a visit to the state house at
Hartford, Conn, that staid cid town,
where it used to be against the law 1or
a man to kiss his wife on Sunday.
Manufactured old farmers come In
and view the cases where the flags are
located and presently, if one cares to
watch, there will be distinct evidences
of moisture and the dew on the grass
of June morning was never more &C.
lightful than the dew of patriotism that
really springs from the heart Of the
American citizen. whether he be old
and Manufactured or in the flush OF
youth.
When we wake up on a Fourth OF
July morning, those of us who have
passed beyond the delightful time OF
a. m. and firecrackers, we are often
disposed to make sundry and pointed
remarks about the noise that we hear.
But when we gather ourselves together
and get to the window and look out;

this so tiresome before, or what gives
me 80 much pleasure to do it now"
No one was more gratified than Sir
Raoul. He exulted in the fact tnat his
predictions were fulfilled.
II always thought good woman
influence boundless," he said; and
now l am sure of It,"
But he was not misled; he saw ex-
actly how things were-that the earl
had started with the conviction that
his wife was an uniformed schoolgirl,
and that, though believing her now 10
be a very clever woman, he still re-
tanned much of his early impression.
Lord Caraven had accepted the fact
that he did not love her with lovers
love. and that their marriage was
fatal mistake into which his own FOLLY
had led him-and he had not changed
his opinion; he absolutely never
thought of love with reference to her.
They were good friends, with one COM
mon interest-that was all.
But with Mildred it was not quite
the same thing. She had once loved
him; and now, as his better nature ap-
peared, she began to care for him
again. Not that she ever betrayed
such a feeling to him. She was kind,
affectionate, patient; she devoted ner-
self to his service; but no word in
dicating warmer feeling than friend
ship ever escaped her lips. She did not
even own to herself or know that she
was beginning to love him.
One day, after luncheon, when some
visitors were staying with them, the
conversation turned on certain Lady
Hamilton, who had just returned, a
widow, from India.
Lady Hamilton was one OF your
early loves, Uric, was she not?" sa1d
Sir Raoul, laughingly.
IT suppose So" replied the earl
carelessly. 81 had great many early
loves, if one may believe all the stories
told. Do you know what my opinion
is?"
mo" answered Sir Raoul, Il do
not"
81 do not believe that have ever
loved at all-that is, using the word
love in it's best and highest sense"
"Then it is for want of appreciation, :"
said Sir Raoul, CURLY.
Neither of them knew that Hildred
had overheard the few chance words,
but they had pierced her heart as with
a two-edged sword.
A kind of jealousy that she could not
understand took possession of her. II,
on looking at pictures or photographs,
Lord Caraven praised one or thought
is pretty, she would examine 1t in de-
tail to find out if possible what he ad-
mired in It. II, in speaking Of any
lady friend or visitor, the earl express
ed his admiration of her, vague I'M
rest would come over his wife; she
would try to understand what attract
ed him. He had frank, careless, easy
way Of expressing himself. Often,
when she heard him, her face would
suddenly grow pale even to her lips.
II he loved at all, he must love her.
Lord Caraven discerned nothing OF
this. but Sir Raoul was more deeply
versed in human nature. and he saw
that the young countess was beginning
to love her husband with a passionate
love. He did not know whether to be
pleased or sorry-whether her love
would ever be returned. Yet he could
not feel surprised.

distance, then we realize that the uay
of days is at hand. That is why the
star spangled banner is in the minos
Of everybody.
The orators with silver tongues nave
told and the poets have sung about all
that is great and glorious regarding
the old flag. So much for PATRIOTISM
Really, the flag is very prosaic pene-
1T, apart from the sentiment that at
taches to it. Thousands and thous-
ands of people gain their living, from
one years end to another, in making
United States flags. Think OF 1t. Ev-
cry year, the people Of the Unlteo
States buy three millions Of flags. Dur
ing that same period million hags
disappear. Nobody knows where they
go to.
The American flag has just passed
its one hundred and twenty-hrst Dlrth-
day. The patched up affair that Bet
sey Ross gave to the world at the time
of the revolutionary war has been re-
produced millions of times. Yet the
only change from the design that the
expert fingers of Mrs. Ross prepared
is in the number Of stars. 1t is just
the same flag in appearance that dec
GRATED the hall in which the first con-
gress of the United States met. It
is a finer flag now in point of material,
and almost any sort can be bought that
one is willing to pay for, but whether
1. - n 10 tho qtarC and
stripes, the idol Of the people, whose
fame increases with the addition of ev-
cry star.
And all the time we think Of the
poetry and prose of the flag. If any
reader of these lines has ever visited
a foreign country, has been a stranger
in some far away place over the ocean,
he may remember the feeling of joy,
Of pride, almost rapture that came to
him when he first saw the stars and
stripes floating over the consulate.
The writer remembers some years
ago walking down the Bots de Bou-
logne in Paris. Just ahead of him
was a regulation man of the world, and
yet something about him indicated that
at one time or another he bad lived In
America. He walked slowly down the
avenue until all of sudden, from the
second story of a building at the right,
there was flung to the breeze the silk
en- folds of beautiful specimen OF the
American flag. The man of the world
saw it. In a second his silk hat was
off his head, and despite the onlookers
he gave three as lusty cheers for the
stars and stripes as ever came from an
American throat. AS the writer reach
ed him, he turned about and with tears
rolling down his cheeks, said, Il
did not know that the sight OF any
thing could touch me like that" And
then he cheered again.
This is Just by way Of evidence that
The average person who looks at, waves
and carries the American flag has real
sy no idea of the place in his heart
shat it holds. If anything were ever
a thing Of beauty and a Joy forever. 1t
