just in front, and this immense scoop
would not, in one case out of ten, prove
becoming. 1t reaches we'll over the
waves of hair, which are to be worn
la Merode with this particular bonnet.
At the sides the shape is round and
short above the ears, and extremely
short at the back. This bonnet is
trimmed with a billowy mass of red,
brown and green feathers very oddly
grouped. This same model in black
velvet has eleven black plumes decor
ating it, five or six of which droop
over the very edge of the fiaring brim
on the front and sides At the left
side of the crown, towards the back,
is a large bow of scarlet velvet An
other model, with a penthouse front
and a short, turned-up back, is made
of two very elegant shades of plum
colOred velvet, trimmed with pale
mauve feathers, sable tails, and gui-
pure lace. Among the array of hats
suitable for general and demi-dress
uses are those of finest French felt in
English walking-hat style, trimmed
merely with loops Of dark or black vel
vet, lined with color; a handsome
buckle in the center of these loops, and
rising above them a cluster of short,
full ostrich tips the shade of the vel
vet, with a. delicate aigrette of the tint
of the silk or satin that lines the loops.
These are the hats which are just now
having the largest sale.
Pipings and millners' folds appear
upon not few French gowns for au-
tumn wear, and as a rule these simple
but effective trimmings differ from the
material composing the garments they
decorate. Tucks still remain a IA
vored form of garniture on fabrics both
for day and evening wear, which lend
themselves to his very popular style of
trimming.
In the display Of models for winter
toilets princesse dresses are very much
in evidence, but so modified and i'm
proved by their sleeve and corsage eff
fects and decorations as to be scarcely
recognizable.
Much of the handsome black head
gear this season is relieved by a touch
or more of vivid color. Many women
are afraid to venture upon these dis
tinct shades. and choose those in paler
or neutral tints-a degree of dowdiness
| being frequently the result of that
timidity. A rich orange velvet, judi
ciously placed and in suitable quantity,
looks remarkably we'll on a black hat
or bonnet, while lighter shades on beige
fawn, tan, or pale ecru are thoroughly

What the Church of Christ to-day
needs is not less machinery, but more
of this inner, energizing power" says
the New York observer" (Pres). I'VE
have method in abundance, and men
in multitudes. We are organized ex-
cessively. What is demanded, then, is
the inflow upon the church of a
baptism or divine power which will
drive all the machinery to useful pur-
pose just as the pressing, thrObbing
steam starts the wheels. gearing looms
and Spindles of a great mill, otherwise
idle and purposeless, into intensest
activity. Formal Christianity can new
er be a success. What is needed is a
living spirit in the Wheels There is
at present in numerous quarters an
alarming apathy regarding spiritual in
terests. Pastors, teachers, editors and
other watchmen upon the walls of Zion
are all taking note of this sad condi-
ton Now, therefore, is the time for the
church to put on her strength. There
is no deficiency in the sources of divine
grace. The question is rather one of
human capacity and willingness to re-
ceive from the Lord enabling power.
God is, as we we'll know, ready to
bestow this most valuable gift, and
still the Masters word to the disci-
pies is echoed pleadingly in our ears;
Receive ye the Holy Ghost
"'The spirit of truth Christ said
shall guide you into all the truth.
That greatest of Christ's promises Pc
ter declared was made to all believers
in all times The advancement of the
Christian Church in the knowledge of
the truth is the fulfillment Of that
promise says the "Congregationalist'
completely fulfilled. After nineteen
centuries of Christian experience if be-
levers of to-day did not know more
Of Christ than those of the first CEN
tury the promise would have failed
The continuous inspiration Of the Holy
Spirit has enabled our Lord to say
things to His disciples in recent times
which the apostles could not bear while
He was still with them in the flesh
There have been, no doubt, particular
periods when that inspiration has been
exerted with special power, but it Is
as truly operative now as it was eight
cen centuries ago. There are words of
God still to be- spoken. There are rev.
elations from God still to be made to
His children. Every believer may hope
to find for himself and for others truth
not yet known. He may be the chan
mel for divine truth which God seeks
to impart, which men greatly need to-
day. The noblest ambition to which
God calls the men and women of our
times is to be His inspired prophets"

Spotted Tails Little Daughter.

An ordinary looking box arrived in
Rapid City, S. D., yesterday from Dr.
V. T. McGilicuddy, dean Of the State
School Of Mines, who is 1t present in
the East, directed to j. F. Ballinger,
agent of the Elkhorn Road here. A
number of years ago, when DR.. Nc
Gilicuddy was agent at Pine Ridge
Agency, he found a little bundle up
in the top of a tree on the site Of the
village of the famous old chief Spotted
Tail, on Bordeaux Creek, about five
miles from Chadron. The bundle was
taken down and it proved to be the
body OF Spotted Tails little daughter,
which, according to the Indian custom
of burial, had been tied up in the tree
top The little Waif had been swing
ing in the dry winds of the plains for
several years when found by the doc
tor. and all that is left of the little
infant to-day is in a fair state of
preservation. The burial robes are
elaborate1y embroidered with beads

Among the most interesting of all the
feathered creatures seen in this State
is the chaparral cock or common road
runner, which was formerly very
abundant in Mexico and California,
though its decline has been so rapid in
the past twenty years that scientists
predict that it is likely to become ex-
tinct.
There are some reasons that prevent
the roadrunner from ever becoming
pet. In the first place he is as mis-
chievous as a monkey and in the sec

The sexes of this bird look nearly
alike, and the bird grows to a length
of two feet from the tip of the bill to
the tip of the tail.
The bird is known as Saurothera Cali
forniona, and is regarded by ornitholo-
gists as one of the most interesting dis
coveres of modern times. When tanned,
these birds become expert mousers;
they seldom fly. having short wings,
unless surprised. They build clumsy
nests and lay from two to four eggs.

Rich black toilets never lack charm or
distinction if handsomely made, and
when becoming they are nearly always
extremely so, and vice versa-especially
in rich lusterless blacks. A combined
trimming of jet ornaments and black
velvet ribbon will often transform the
uncomplimentary effect of black
cashmere or drap dete gown, especially
if a touch of color is added to the
bodice.
Many of the cloth costumes designed
for youthful wearers are still made in
round-waisted style, with fronts very
slightly bloused. Notwithstanding the
general idea that the bolero and all it's
kin had passed from fashionable favor,
models from Paquin, Weille, Mayer and
other French ateliers show jacket
fronts put on over the elegant vest,
like bolero, but bolero with long
ends, either in front or at the sides,
these falling over the dress skirt. This
effect shows also on some of the new
princesse dresses, with jacket fronts.

All the new shoulder-capes are made
with deep backs, curving down much

TO speak more effectively than one who

There is something peculiar, If not
ominous, says the Christian Reg
lister" (Unit.) of Boston. "in the grow
ing habit Of putting secular things
first, to be observed in the columns of
religious newspapers of all denomina-
tions. While the less emphatic insist
ence upon doctrine is not unpleasing to
an old-fashion Unitarian, there is some
thlng not quite acceptable in the
change which puts the secular news
OF the world at the front If the
moral aspects of secular events were
discussed and the practical lessons of
religion were enforced a conservative
Unitarian might rejoice in the transi-
tIon from dogmatic theology to
llvable religion. But the passage from
theology TO war news and political
events creates suspicion that, in the
desire to hold former readers and in
the eagerness to secure new subscri
befs, there is danger of encouraging
secularlsm in the orthodox churches
which the leaders will by and by la

tion the danger is that the people will
turn away from their trusted religious
leaders, and for time give themselves
to diet of secularism, behind which
lie agnosticism and denial In the in

doctrines Which lie behind the creeds,

has made them keen and trustworthy
observers of the course of events in
all religious movements The infidel

result of the Unitarian spirit, whether
you call 1t leaven or virus, but is al
most invariably the sign of a reaction
from rigid dOgmatism. The cure is

trasts admirably, as we all know, with
black, yet many women to Whom IL
would be strikingly becoming fear to
venture with it, and effect compro-
mise by choosing garnet-mulberry,m ma
hogany, or some other sort OF dull red
dowdyism, as aforesaid, being the re-
suit. A certain artistic daring coupled
with discretion gives style to hat,
dress. or other raiment. Lacking the
courage and good taste, many sink all
individuality of attire, and are content
to- look like every body else in their fear
of looking conspicuous, forgetting that
there is a wide difference, indeed, be-
tween a bizarre and a purely common
place style.
Among new fashions comes that OF
making out-of-door coats and likewise
jacket -bodices for indoor wear quite
short in front, but with much elongated
backs. 1t is considered not unlikely
that the oldstyle swallow-tall coats,
with narrow lengths reaching well
down upon the dress skirt at the back
will again prevail On one or two
French models in this style, the long
ends were lined with silk a shade
darker than the material composing
the bodice. In other instances, bright
shade of cherry red formed the lining,
which, was of Liberty satin.
Medallions. openwork blocks, mohalr,
and other silky wool braids in applique
effects are very fashionably used as
garniture for stylish cloth costumes
This form of trimming is newer ana
more dressy than flat rows OF braid,
although this simple form of decora-
ton is still in favor The medallion
scroll and arabesque style OF orna-
mentation appeal more especially TO
women who are fond of color and elab-
crate effects, and it is at this season
of the year that brilliant tones are
most effectively and appropriately
worn. These new appliques give
marked effect to the gown, but they
also add considerably to the weight OF
the dress. especially the deep border
patterns in silk cord alternating with
Van Dyked designs in jet. The best
choice are the novelties in feather
weight mohair weaves.
The new vicunas and French cameis
hair goods are very handsome, and
thus far some of the smartest tailor
gowns have BEEN made Of these fabrics.
While warm in quality, these goods
are remarkably light. Weight does
not invariably mean warmth, and these
goods are strictly wool in web and
woof. The black goods Of these weaves
are especially handsome, and, made up
in coat and skirt style, will be among
the first cold-weather gowns worn.
Great favor is shown to capes, over
skirts, coats and skirt decorations,
showing rounded curving effects and
scalloped edges. Some Of the scallops
ara bound with bias bands Of the dress
material. and others are edged with
very narrow braid or piping.
