FOR RAINY DAYS.
Combination Suits Made of Regular

Combination suits Made OF Regular
nlackIntosh Cloth.
Two young women. who had their
own way to make in the world and
were trying to make it by sewing. and
having hard time OF 1t. had bright
idea not long since and are now coin
ing money out Of very simple thing
the kind OF things that usually do make
money, says the New York Herald.
This was to buy from the manufacture
ers the regular macintosh goods by
the bolt and make a combination suit
of skirt and cape for a rainy-day cos
tune for women. The macintosh
cloaks are always too small around.
never as full as any fashionable dress
skirt, and the effort to hold up the
dress is one which requires consider
able maneuyering. There is not
enough room for the arm when bent In
holding the skirts up: the macintosh
pulls and draws, and finally always
yields and te:Ts at the corners OF all
openings. AS the dress skirt is held up
or let down the wet edges Of the mack
intosh dragglc the entire bottom OF the
skirt and trimming. The arms are
never free to carry anything and one
would rather be drenchcd than wear
one. The new suit is Il great improve
ment. The skirt is cut on the prevail
ing fashionable cuts of skirts and falls
in graceful folds when worn either with
or without n dress skirt. There is no
body to this garment. but an ample
double cape is made which covers the
waist fully and gives graceful appear
ance to the wearer and ample 7rotec-
ton from the rain. 1t is also mat airy
than the one-piece garment. and con
sequentIy more healthful. Even when
made of the ordinary waterproof goods
these suits are extremely neat and pref
ty. but when made of the finer quail
tiles of serge-finished or Scotch mixed
goods they have no appearance OF n
macintosh whatever. but simply OF Il
stylish wool suit The goods is heavy
enough to need no Innings. its natural
stiffness making 1t hang well, while
the backing Is of silk or plaid in any
colors ordered. The weight of the gar
ment being divided in two is another
advantage. while either garment may
be worn separately. Unlike the I'M
wieldy mackintosh. this suit Is always
made to measure and fitted to the
client, SO that 1t hangs well from the
waist and from the shoulders.

IN a BOG.

No vision OF death Is more appalling
than that which comes to a man sink
ing inch by inch In q bog. His strug-
giles intensity the agony. for they can
not aver his doom. An English officer
in India went out one afternoon to
lnke to shoot ducks. Two got up from
under his feet and flew across an arm
OF the lake. With the first barre: he
shot one, and the second brought down
the other, which fell on sort of prom
ontory. A native attendant went to re-
trieve the first bird, and the officer
thought he would go round the arm OF
the lake and pick up the second one
for himself.
The attendant shouted something.to
which he gave no attention, but went
on to the promontory. He had not
gone far when he felt the ground
culver in the peculiar way that de-
notes bog. Immediately he was
frightened and did the worst thing
possible-he tried to get back to Gold
land by succession OF leaps. Or
course he broke through, and with a
yell he sank in the treacherous mud.
The more hestruggled the deeper he
sank. He got his gun,across the mud,
and it gave him n support for a minute
or two. Then he and 1t began again
to sink. He realized that he was
slowly but surely sinking to death. II
help did not come he was lost. The
attendant was not to be seen: he felt
himself alone and helpless. lie was
in agony.
He had sunk up to the shoulders.
when he heard n shout: ''All right;
we'll have you OUT and saw the shi-
karee (native huntcr) crawling over
the bog with rope tied to him. The
officer felt the rope put under his arms.
and then he tainted.
When he came to his senses he found
himself supported on friends knee.
while another was trying TO pour n
stimulant down his throat.
The attendant had rushed Into camp
and told the shikarcc what had hap
pened. He got rope and reused the
officers two friends from their siesta.
They dashed down the bog and hauled
out the officer. who seemed like dead
man. Ten minutes more. SO the shi-
karee declared. and the officer would
have sunk out OF sight. for the bog
was the most dangerous place In the
country.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS;
Fight with
an Octopus.
Sssssssssssssssssss3ssssS

Louis de Rougemont, famous trav-
eler. describing his adventures in the
Wide World Magazine, gives this ac-
count OF an encounter with an octopus
in the pearl fishing grounds near Sing
apore:
The greatest enemy the divers had
to fear In these waters was the dread
ed octupus, whose presence occasioned
far greater panic than the appearance
Of a mere shark.
These loathsome monsters would
sometimes come and throw their hor-
rible tentacles over the side Of the
frail craft from which the divers were
working, and actually fasten on to the
men themselves, dragging them out in
to the water. At other times octopuses
have been known to attack the divers
down below. and hold them relentless
ly under water until life was extinct.
One OF our own men had terribly
narrow escape from one of these fear
ful creatures. | must explain. how
ever, that each evening. when the div
ers returned from pearl fishing, they
roped all their little skiffs together and
let them lie astern OF the schooner.
Well. one night the wind rose and rain
fell heavily. with the result that next
morning all the little boats were found
more or less waterlogged. Some Of
the Malays were told OFF to go and bale
them out. Whilst they were at work
one OF the men saw NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ing black object In the sea. which SO
attracted his curiosity that he dived
overheard to find out what 1t was. He
had barely reached the water. how
ever. when an immense octopus rose
into view. and at once made for the
terrified man, who instantly saw his
danger, and with. great presence of
mind promptly turned and scrambled
back into the boat.
The terrible creature was after him
however. and to the horror OF the on
lockers 1t extended Its great flexible
tentacles. enveloped the entire boat
man and all. and then dragged the
whole down under the crystal sea. The
divers Mortified comrades rushed ia

ais assistance, and an attempt was
made to kill the octopus with har-
pooh, but without success. Several OF
his more resourceful companions then
iived into the water with a big net
made OF rope. which they took right
underneath the octopus. entangling the
creature and Its still living prey. The
next step was to drag up both man and
octopus into the whaleboat. and this
done, the unfortunate Malay was drag
gcd by sheer force out OF the fright
'nal embrace. more dead than alive.
However. we soon revived him by put
ting him in a very hot bath. the water
being at such n temperature ms actually
to blister his skin. II is most remark
able that the man was not altogether
drowned. as he had been held under
water by the tentncles OF the octopus
for rather more than two minutes.
But, like all the Malays of our party,
this man carried n knife, which he
used to good purpose on the monsters
body when first 1t dragged him under
the water. These repeated stabs
caused the creature to keep rolling
about on the surface. The unhappy
man was in this way enabled to get an
occasional breath OF air. otherwise he
must infallibly have been drowned.
The octopus had an oval body. and was
provided with an extraordinary num-
Der of tentacles-six very large ones
and many smaller ores Of varying
sizes. 1t was rible-looking crea-
ture. with a fiat. Shiny body, yellowish
white In color. with black spots. and
n hideous cavity OF mouth. without
teeth. 1t is the tentacles of the Great
ture that are so dreaded. on account OF
the immense sucking power when
they possess.
After this incident the divers always
took tomahawk with them on .heir
expeditions. IN order to lop of the ten
,aclcs OF any octopus that might try
10 attack them.

The Checking System Applied 10
Babies,

In some OF the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked
like so many umbrellas, while their
mothers pursue the elusive bargain
from counter to counter. A small boy
is detailed to stand guard over a GER
tain number of infants. The small
boy and the infants have not been
asked for an opinion, but the mothers
are enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checA.ng system, as ap-
piled to babies, has appeared in a new
form. Brooklyn being recognized as
the City of Churches, the new develop
ment is naturally along the ecclesias-
Teal line. Rev. DR.. Wiley, of the
Nostrand Avenue NJ. E. church, is the
originator Of the scheme, and the
mothers are once more the gamers. A
large room has been fitted up with
hammocks and cribs, perambulators
and toys. Here a volunteer committee
of young women assemblies every Sum
day morning, and here the mothers.
who would otherwise be kept at home,
leave their babies, while they them
selves attend regular church service.
The plan Is novel one, but promises
and deserves to be popular. Harper's 8

The New Court House Proposition,

The committee wrote to each Of the
eighty-eight counties OF Ohio to get
the cost Of the court houses in the var
ious counties Of the State, and select
ing twenty-six which seemed to be Of
about the same size, population wealth
ETC., as this county, they prepared
table which has been sent to the vot-
ers that they could get the names Of,
throughout the county. Of these eight
counties have modern court houses
that did not cost over S125,Q00, L is
said that the court house at Cadiz,
in Harrison county, IS q model struc-
ture Of the kind 1t was built in 1895
and cost Sill 900 That county has
$1,000 population. The grand total Of
the duplicate in that county is eleven
milnons OF dollars. Ours here in this
county is s13, ,4S1 GOO. So it can read
can be easily built within the figures
named, to-wit: $i25,000. At the same
time in, can also be seen that such a
sum is not out of proportion, when we
consider our population and wealth as
shown by the totals Of the grand dup
licate mentioned above.
The type of court house built in
Ohio about the year 1922, the year in
which our building was put up, has
passed away and now are nearly all
replaced by new structures, and the
hand of the dial of time points to the
near approach Of the hour when our
old court house will be replaced with
a new building, fire proof and modern
in every respect.
