MAXIMS OF THE SMART GIRL.

Never mistake fads for fashions.
Gloves and shoes too small are de-
cidedly bad form.
Ripped garments and frayed edges
are fatal to smartness.
Good grooming is the necessary pre-.

A sense of appropriateness in attire
is more desirable than riches.
Never tie necktie hastily, or over
look spot on a collar or rip in q
glove.
Learn how to carry the body correct
~ if you expect to carry your clothes
well.
Fresh linen is as essential to the
smartly dressed girl as to the correctly.
dressed man.
Well-brushed skirts, well-cleaned
shoes, and a trim waist-line cost moth.

left. The tender of the war portfolio
was made to Mr.. Root Friday after
the conference at the white house.
Elihu Root is one of the best known lawyers
OF New, York, and his counsel has frequently
been sought by his party, When Gov. Roose-
velt was preparing an amended bill for a tax on
franchises he summoned Elihu Root to Albany
to draw up bill that should stand every legal
test 1t was Elihu Root who was called on to
draft the New York police bill which the
recent legislature barely defeated. 1t was
on the opinion of Elihu Root that the repub-
lican leaders decided there was no legal obsta-
Gle to Roosevelt's becoming governor of New
York. The new secretary is 81 years old. His
ton college, and the son taught school and paid
his own way through that college After he
was graduated in law at the University Law
school, New York he entered a law office in the
city. His connection with municipal reform
began in 1871 and eight years later he polled q
large vote as republican candidate for judge of
the court OF common pleas, but was defeated.
He was chairman of the republican county
committee for two years and under President
Arthur served as United States district attor
ney for the Southern district of New York.

SOME RASH PROMISES.

A French artist, Gericauld, was de-
termined to allow no distraction to In
terfere with the painting Of his great
picture, 1.-THE Wreck of the Medusa."
He had his head shaved and vowed that
he would never allow his hair to grow
until his work was done. This vow he
religiously kept, in spite of strong
temptation to break it, and the reward
of his heroism was the most perfect
painting of his life.
A story is told of young man in
England, q great chess enthusiast, who
was so annoyed at his failure to solve
an apparently simple problem that he
vowed he would neither sleep nor eat
until the solution was found. He shut
himself up in disused room and was
found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of mind.
He spent a year in q lunatic asylum as
the result of his rash VOW; and the prob
lem remains unsolved.
It was for a very curious reason that
an old lady, who died few years ago,
condemned herself to more than 80
years confinement to her house. She
had married a widower, as misery as
he was unromantic, and he insisted
that his second wife should wear the
clothes left behind her by his first wife
The wife was as mutinous as the hus-
band was resolute, and she determined
that until she could have her own
clothes she would never leave the
house; vow she keut until her death.
Woman appears to be at the root of
many eccentric VOWS; for it was
hatred of the sex that impelled a once
well-known lawyer to swear that he
would never speak to a woman again
as long as he lived. Nothing would in
duce him to see lady client, and he
would never conduct a case in which a
woman appeared as a witness. He never
employed a female servant, and de-
liberately 'cut" all his lady acquaint-
ances. The inevitable result was that
the men deserted him, his practice
dwindled, and he died, less than n year
ago. alone in a squalid room.

Inducements to expedite the recruit
ment of the ten volunteer regiments.
Nearly all the commissions having been
issued, many of the disappointed ap-
plicants have been advised to enter
the ranks, as in that way it may be
possible for them to secure commissions
when vacancies occur. Another method
of securing recruits is to offer commits
sions to men otherwise qualified who
will undertake to furnish in each case
not less than 40 men who can pass mus
ter as soldiers and will enlist for serv-
ice in the Philippines.
The war department on the Goth
made public telegram from President
Mckinley to Gen. Otis thanking the
men in the Philippines for their patri-
otism in remaining in service after the
ratification of the treaty of peace.

BARREL HOUSE A CURSE
CITY sANITARIAN WANTS LEGISLA-
TION RESPECTING THE EVIL.
His Bill Specifies Pure WhisI<y--An
Institution That Troubles
the Police.

City Sanitarian Clark will draft bill, to
be presented to the Legislature, aimed at
the barrel houses. The attempt of the Board
of Health to stop the barrel houses selling
adulterated liquors failed because the city
ordinance, though it prescribed that whisky
should conform to the requirements of the
United States pharmacopoeia, failed to pro-
vide a penalty for its violation, and there
fore was useless. DR.. Clark analysed sam
pies of whisky from the barrel houses and
found them adulterated with prune juice
tobacco juice, bead oil and other stuff.
1T is my belief" DR.. Clark said yester-
day, that this whisky is more of fraud
than injurious compound. 1t can be
made cheaply and there is therefore a good
profit in selling it. OF course it is injurious
to health and it's sale should be stopped"
DR.. Clark's attention was called to the
fact that barrels labeled alcohol are seen
to be delivered at the barrel houses, and
that it was charged that much Of the whisky
sold was really made in back rooms Of the
places.
Il know that there is such a suspicion, -
he replied, land if we could prove it true
we could set the federal authorities after
the barrel houses, but it would be difficult
to prove it. The bill which 1 will draft will
prescribe the ingredients of whisky and will
provide penalty for selling any other kind.
1t seems TO me such law should be added
to the pure food laws"
The barrel houses are a source of much
trouble to the police. The men who loaf
around them are of the heavy-faced, liquor
sodden class, who crave nothing but more
and more to drink The barrel houses have
such signs on their fronts as BEST drink Of
liquor in the city for cents or 1.-TWO
drinks for cents" and Chicago bowls 8
CENTS" and as a result they attract the peo-
pie who have little money and do not know
pure liquors from bad. But the worst side
of the work of the barrel houses is seen at
the police station when women beasts, raw
ing and cursing. are dragged up the iron
stairs to the female department. They sleep
off their intoXication, go to the workhouse
in the morning, are out in a short time
and in a day or two are again found in the
alleys back of the barrel houses crazy with
drink They come to be called Barrel
House Kate" and similar names which ap-
pear every several pages on the matron's
docketS.

Mr.. STEVENS OF SALEM.
The New President of state AgricuI-
turaI Board.

The principal feature of the closing ses-
sion of the meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture was the discussion, anticipated
several days ago, as to whether the board
should purchase the part of the fair grounds
now held under lease, or simply release it
for seven years. The strongest sentiment
was in favor of purchasing the land on the
plan of the board giving bonds to secure the
money to be raised. After some little OBJ
lection from the conservative element on the
board, it was decided to investigate the
matter before the next meeting and ascer-
tain at what rate the money can be secured
to purchase the land.
The election of officers was accomplished
without any considerable opposition. w w.
Stevens, of Salem, was chosen president,
John c. Haines, of Lake, Ind, vice presi-
dent, Charles Il. Kennedy, of Indianapolis,
secretary, j. w. LAGRANGE of Franklin,
treasurer and II. B. Rowland, of Indianap-
oils, superintendent.
