WHEN SILENCE is EFFECTIVE.

A very clever woman-clever be-
cause she knew how to hold her tongue
was once heard telling a friend, in
confidence, when asked why she had
not taken part In a conversation of
the previous evening in which nearly
every one had joined, that she had
kept quiet because she was ignorant
of the subject under discussion.
Whenever | am not thoroughly in
formed on a subject and feel incapable
OF talking intelligently, why, Just
hold my tongue. / believe / have the
reputation OF being good talker, but

stand should lose it." But then one
appears so stupid to sit still and say
nothing when every one else is talk
ing" was the reply. 81 do not mind
that in the least" she answered; II
am willing to run the risk"
This establishes an excellent prece-
dent In the art OF conversation. II one
finds oneself suddenly and without
warning surrounded by lot OF people
who knows 1t all'' 1t is far better to
keep silent than to launch forth into
the discussion of an uneYplored sub
ject.

Then he announced his intention of

The decision of the court reads as
follows:

Dfumchundas are the most pop
ular and modish fabrics. The former
is made up into a broad end bow and
the latter is made into a folded in,
broad, Windsor-like bow. The ties
and imperials are worn with the high
banded turn-down collar and the
heglige shirt. OF course these are for
waistcoatless suits.
! The man who doffs his waistcoat
must be careful to have perfect fitting
trousers, for he must go suspenderless.
The belt should be narrow and as
'horsey" as possible The half hose OF
the most vivid patterns is now very
fashionable. There seem to be evil
dences that point to a return to the
Scotch plaid effects. For dress the
black silks with self or neat contrast
ing vertical bars or instep clocking are
best For wear with tan shoes the
vivid toned combinations in vertical or
horizontal stripes, spots and figures
give one an ample field for selection.
Embroidered monograms are a new
and useful fad. A swell haberdasher
recommends them for every article of
wear. A lot of goods prepared for a
young club man has the undershirts
marked on one side near the waist line.
The drawers were marked on one side
of the band. The shirts had the mono
gram on about two inches from the
outer edge of the lower part of the
bosom. Small disks, overstitched with
silk with the monogram in the center
were sewn to the half hose, close to the
top. Small circular-like bits of linen
with wavy edges embroidered with silk
had the monogram on in silk, and were
sewn to the handkerchief. On the era
watts the monograms were embroidered
in silk near the point in the apron.
This is quite novel idea, and bache-
lors who depend on outside laundries
will hail the innovation with delight.

A SOCIALISTIC COLONY.
George Wickline, of Nashville, Ill, to
Establish One.

Nashville, ILL.,, Feb. 1S.-Geo. wickline
of this city is completing all necessary
arrangements for the establishment of
a socialistic colony in Randolph county.
Mr.. WickIine has secured the option on
1000 acres of rich farming land under
laid with a 7-foot vein of coal, along
the line of the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
where the colonIy will be located. The
organization will be similar to the
Ruskin colony, of Tennessee, several of
Wickline's co-worAers having been To-
Gated at Ruskin for some time.
Agriculture and mining and the estab-
lishment of good schools and factories
are included in the scheme. and the
law of brotherly love is to be the rule
for conduct. All of the most modern
implements of production are to be in
PRODUCED and pauperism is to be I'M
known, as work and profits are to be
shared alike. The promoter is well
known throughout Illinois, having been
allied with the Populist party for years,
and having run for congress and edited
several newspapers.

A CRUEL PRACTICAL JOKE.
Eight Bold Infantry Officers Held Up
and Robbed by Bogus Bandits.

Junction City. Feb. 13.-The best prac-
teal joke in official circles at Fort Riley
that has been played in many years
was perpetrated Friday night, when a
touch of thigh life in Kansas was
given the infantry officers, who left at
5 o'clock Saturday evening for Manila
A party of eight officers in the wag-
onette was held up three-quarters of a
mile from the post by Lieutenant Mar
shall, Lieutenant Short and Cy Rodgers,
a civilian. The eight men pulled out
and turned over $3.50, several gold
watches and sundry articles. They,
with the driver. were sent back to the
post, barehanded, through the snow, and
the three bandits took the ambulance
and drove to the city, to have the joke
reach the climax. The joke was enjoy
ed as long by the officers left at the
post as was practicable, and the snap
given away when the clouds had rolled
away and they had become thawed out
No one enjoyed the joke more than the
officers held up. The officers spent the
night in a jollification farewell for the
infantrymen who went to Manila

RUMOR OF FATALITY.
Story of Farmer Freezing to Death
on a Load of Hay Can't Be
Verified

There was a rumor in Topeka today
that a man had been frozen to death
while driving north from town early
Saturday morning.
1t was reported that he was a farmer
living is miles northwest of the city,
who had been here with a load of hay.
Failing to sell the hay he started home
late Friday night and was frozen on
the way. The story said his body was
discovered on the load of hay when the
team reached home.
The rumor, however, can not be veri-
fed. None of the Topeka undertakes
have been called upon to care for the
remains of a victim of the storm
Men at the haymarket say that sew
eral men left for their homes Friday
night. Among the men at the market
today there were none from the country
northwest of TOpeka.

PLANT CUTTINGS.
Many of Them Should Be Rooted
During February and March.

The cuttings of many of the plants to
be used in the flower garden should be
rooted during the months of February
or March. GeraniumS made during
these months should be covered with
blooms during the summer months If
they are given proper care.
Other plants that add greatly to the
beauty of the garden, and which may
be propagated by cuttings, are the coll
Gus, iresine, althermanthera, and CEN
laura. These plants all root readily
from cuttings; they can be started in
a cutting box in the window, which
should be as long and wide as desired,
for the limited space, and about four or
five inches deep. 1t should be filled
with clean river sand. When the cut
tings are first made they should be
shaded during the heat of the day and
sprinkled several times a day until the
cuttings become thoroughly esta blished.
The sand should always be kept moist
but never wet.
Cuttings are often rooted in a deep
plate filled with moist sand. There are
various contriVances used for roofing
cuttings, but in each case the roofing
medium is clean, moist sand. Soil is
apt to become soggy.-W. H. Moore Of
the State Agricultural college.
