They Are More stylish In Finfsn
ans just as Popular as Ever.
Nearly every woman has chosen her
cotton gowns and is probably busily at
work cutting and sewing them, but
very few have yet purchased the cotton
shirt waists which are to occupy SO
large place in woman wardrobe the
coming season. Now all the styles for
the waists are out. probably as many as
we shall see. though possibly a few man
ufacturers may bring ont small lots Of
some new ideas tocater to certain trade.
The most Of the waists have straight
or pointed yokes in the back. but the
latest plan is to have the whole back
plated or gathered from the neck or
from Garibaldi straps down the shoul-
ders.
The strap. or, as some call it. epau-
let, is, / think. much prettier than
the yoke across the back. 1t defines the
slope of the shoulder and gives grace
where before there was none. These
waists are made Of everything washable
and some things that are not. for in
stance white liberty satin and taffeta,
with bright colcred velvet ribbon sewed
upon it to simulate stripes and plaids.
The swiss, linon and fine lawns and
batistes for summer wear are exceed

illustration, shows very many narrow
tucks and two lines Of wide swiss in
sertion running around the whole waist
It is gathered closely at the neck and

satin ties are worn with these and

tions OF Europe would have run races
with each other to recognize the indie
pendence Of the Cenfederacy, and more
aid than be needed would have been
freely rendered Jefferson Davis to en-
able him to realize the aspirations of
the south for separate government.
In taking retrospect of the conduct
of ths border states during the war
and of how the shareholders therein
fought vafiantly for their own undoing,
am forced to the conclusion that when
Abraham Lincoln said in his first i'm
augural address, II have no purpose,
directly or indirectly, to interfere with
the institution Of slavery in the states
where it exists; / believe / have no
lawful right to do SO, and / have no
inclination to do SO, he did more for
the preservation of the Union than was
done by all the speeches, great and
small, delivered since the confusion Of
tongues at the tower Of Babel, for that
one declaration held hundreds of thou
sands in the border states faithful to
the Union who otherwise and naturally
would have gone with the south. The
Kentuckians and Missourians belong to
that class who, having put their hands
to the pIow do not look back and they
fought on after the emancipation proc
lamation as bravely and doggedly as
before
1t may be that the fact that Abraham
Lincoln and jefferson Davis were both
Kentuekians, born within few miles
of each other. added fuel to the flames
throughout Kentucky and Missouri and
wherever the Kentuckjans had settled
in large numbers. The accident of their
birth in the same vicinity contributed
to the awful tragedy the element Of
feud, inherent in the Kentucky eharac-
ter.
At any rate, Lincoln understood the
Kentuckians and Missourians better
than any other Republican president,
and to the day Of his death they had a
warm place in his sympathetic heart
More than all this, the border state
men fought whatever their rank.
An incident of Battle.
The only instance on record during
the entire war of one field officer killing
another in battle was at Mill Spring,
when General Speed Smith Fry Of Ken
lucky, a Union soldier. shot and killed
General zollicoffer, commanding bri-
gade of Tennessee Confederates. The
solitary parallel to this sanguinary per-
formance in all our military annals was
the killing of Tecumseh. at the battle
of the River Thames, by Colonel Richard
NJ. johnson, another Kentuckian, popu-
larly called Old Dick.

with those possessing the soundest and
most staiwart legs, thereby rivaling the
far resoundiRg feat of Charles XII of
Sweden at Pultowa and General Joseph
Wheeler at Santiago Of being carried
into battle upon stretcher.
One of my own constituents, P

Another Snrinr Poem.

Another Spring Poem.
Spring, gentle spring, is drawing near:
Listen with care, and soon you'll hear
The robins calling.
Already the hare naples blush,
The streets are ankle deep with siush-
The newest pinks, sweet peas and beans
The seedmen in the magazines
Are advertising;
And Gladys every offer reads,
And makes long lists of urgent needs.
And sends good money of for seeds,
Which she, elate,
Will cultivate
With zeal surprising
Bicycle men are hustling now;
The farmer hand turns toward the plcw,
Business Is humning.
The sunset each night later glows;
Your wife is buying Easter clothes;
The bottom Of the coal bin shows
In short, you II see
All sights agree,
Spring, spring is comingl

HER LOOK.
Time may set his fingers there,

Time may set his fingers there,
Fix the smiles that curve about
Her winsome mouth, and touch her hair.
Put the ourves of youth TO rout,
But the something God put there,
That which drew me to her first
Not the inps of pain and care,
Not all sorrow ) fends accurst,
Can kill the look that God put there
Something beautiful and rare,
Nothing common can destroy,
Not all tire ieaden load of care,
Not all the dross of earth's alloy.
Better than all fame or gold,
True as only Gods own truth.
1t is something all hearts hold
Who have loved once in their youth.
That sweet look her face doth hold
Thus VIII ever be TO me;
Joy may all her pinions fold,
Care may come and misery;
Through the days Of murk and shine,
Though the roads be foul or fair.
viii see through loves glad eye
That sweet look that God put there

MINERS ARE RESTLESS.
Mass Meeting is Held at Ishpeming
to Consider the Wage
Scale.

AT a mass-meeting of the mine-work-
ers here yesterday afternoon, Secretary
Matt Wasley of the local Miners union,
and Organizer Robert Askew of the
Northern Mineral Mine Workers organ

and about the mines of 1shpemlng to I'M
mediately make a demand upon the com
EanieS for more pay. They argued tHal,
tnasmuch as the price of pig iron had
advanced, the workingmen's pay should
be increased proportionately. W asley 5
principal advice was for the men to make
their demand at once ana not W:lI uHtH
the season IS too far advanced. In ms
opinion the workingmen never had a pet
ter opportunity for favorable conSidera-
ton of q reasonable demand than noW'
owing to the pressing need for iron ore.
In view of the inability of the compa-
MES to furnish all the ore desired this
season, Askew maintained that now Is
the proper time for the men 10 present
their demands for more pay. lie Said
according to estimates furnished -! inc
consumers there Will be shortage OF
several million tons of iron ore this year.
Under such conditions, lie said. the MINES
will surely be operated and that the men
will eci better wages if they will unite
in asking for it.
A committee from the workmen at the
Lake Superior Section u mlne, VINO
have been out week or more. appealed
to the men at the mines in the city to
stand by them. The strikers were advised
Saturday that they must now return to
work on the ten-hour plan, or not at
all: that the mine would be closed down
indefinitely if this proposition is not ac-
ccpted. 1t was argued that this is test
movement on The part of the companies
and, if successful an attempt will be
made to inauGurate the .ten-hour work
day at all the mines where the eight

The reflection in the mirror does not
portray our likeness with any attempt
at accuracy. The hair is wrong i'll tone,
the eyes are not correct in color, and our
compilations are hopelessly libeled by this
specious household deceiver. 1t is GER
tain that if the looking glass told the
truth the sales of various complexion
washes would greatly decrease, for any
fair skin looks gray and pallid in a glass,
and as a result many women ruin their
splendid compilations by trying to improve
them because they look bad in the mirror
