says IL Is Not TOO Late for the United
Sfnten to Retrace It's steps.


Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Hoar
has written letter to former Senator
Edmunds replying to an invitation to
be present at meeting to discuss the
Philippine question. Senator Hoar de-
clines to attend, because he thinks that
what he will have to say on the Philip
pine question will be more effective If
said in the senate than elsewhere. He
adds:
II have not changed the opinion l
formed and expressed last winter. ex-
cept that it has been confirmed and
strengthened by what has happened
since. If we had dealt with the people
of the Philippine islands as we UNDER
took to deal with the people of Cuba we
should have had no war. Terrible mis-
chief has been already accomplished
through the blunder of last winters g
treaty. But 1t is not too late to retrace
our steps. Congress has not yet com
mitted itself to the policy of imperial
ism. Still less are the American people
SO committed, 1t is not too late to as
sure the people of the Philippine islands
that we will not trample them under
foot. or compel them to obey us against
their will.''

THE BANTAM CHAMPIONSHIP.
Forbes and Flanaganto Fight In 81
Louis Tonight.

Louis Tonight.
st. Louis, Mo, Dec. ls-clarence
Forbes, the crack Chicago bantam
pugilist, and Steve Flanagan Of Phiia-'
delpha. weighed in this afternoon for
their twenty-five round contest, which
takes place tonight before The West
End Athletic CLUB. The match has eN-
cited more than usual interest in sport
ing circles owing to the fact that ths
winner will have the right TO claim the
bantam weight championships. since It
is recognized that Terry McGovern can
no longer make the bantam weight
limit. Forbes is considered one Of the
most aggressive fighters of his weight
in the country Flanagan is also fecog-
nized as one of the best men in his class
and as q consequence it IS eNpectea that
their meeting tonight viii be one of tn,
fastest fights ever pulled of IN 81

A Good Shot.

A local sportsman. who has the Tepu-
tation of being a very bad shot, recent
~ invited some of his friends to dine
with him. Before dinner he showed
them target painted on the barn door,
with a bullet in the bullseye. This he
claimed to have shot at 1000 yards
distance. AS nobody believed him, he
offered to bet the price of an oyster
supper on it.
On one Of his guests accepting the
wager. he produced two witnesses,
whose veracity could not be ques-
toned, to prove his assertion. AS they
both said that he had done what he
claimed he won the bet. At dinner
the loser of the wager asked how his
host had managed to fire such an ex-
cellent shot. The host answered, 81
shot the bullet at the door at a distance
Of 1000 yards and then 1 painted the

A "GrOwlery.S

"Please don't go in there. That's the

This was said in jocular spirit, and
the visitor was rather staggered by the
reply.
chats it exactly; where we rush the
growler, although perhaps not in the
way you fancy. You see, my husband
is an occasional sufferer from indiges-
ton, which doesn't improve his temper,
and there are also times when my own
temper-I tell you this in confidence
is not of the best. Well, when we
moved out here and had more rooms il
the house than we actually needed

as place of solitary retirement, where
we could go and be alone when either
of us felt our temper getting the best
of us. l have called it the growlery
because we can lock ourselves in there
and grOWl to our hearts content until
we have quite recovered. We both
avail ourselves of it, and I think it's a
very good idea. George is in there
now, and l wouldn't disturb him for
the world. "-Philadelphia Record.

1t was characteristic Of the late
Frances Willard that she never had
any money. Miss Gordon attended to
her finances, and it was found on the
whole best to leave Miss Willard's
purse empty, because if she started
out in the morning with a full pocket
book she came back penniless in the
evening. One night she told in her in
imitable way Of having gone to Chi
cago and reached Rest Cottage again
on the capital of a postage stamp. At
the station she turned her pockets out,
but not a bit Of change was to be
found. She had forgotten all about it.
"What am to do about it?" she asked
the agent perplexedly. Gamma is out,
think, and l haven't cent of money"
'I'll give you a ticket, Miss Willard"
said the clerk.
"When / got into the bus remem-
bered again." she said, ''and told the
driver II think I'll have to walk, for /
haven't any money" ooh, that's all
right, Miss Willard" said the driver.
And so all day, greatly to her amusc-
ment, she went on getting in debt to
the railroads, cabmen and restaurants.

He Did: n Cuf,

In a rural community in one Of the
middle states dwelt a man who made
a VOW in 1856 that he would wear his
hair and beard untrimmed until John
c.. Fremont should be elected president
Of the United States.
He kept that vow for 40 years, at the
end of which time he had nearly half
bushel of hair on his head and face.
Then, coming to the conclusion. to-
ward which his mind had been gradu-
ely working for long time, that Gcu-
eral Fremont's death in the interval
had practically absolved him from his
VOW, he decided to have his hal: cut
and his beard shaved off clean. On
his next visit to the county seat he
went to a barber shop and was soon
relieved Of the hirsute burden he had
carried for four decades.
"How much? he asked.
"Have to charge you half q dollar
for that job said the barber, looking
at the mass that lay on the floor.
Half a dollar" he gaspe,1. Don't

Tendency Toward Fuller Dresses.
Some of the dressmakers stitch the
plaits only about two-tbirds down their
length, allowing them to hang freely
from a height of 80 to 40 centimeters
from the bottom.
But the reaction against fat skirts
goes further. Already some fashion
able women, not satisfied with stitched
plaits, are wearing their dresses gath
cred all round the waist, in the style of
the Louis XIII skirt These resemble
certain Marie Antoinette costumes.
They look very we'll on tall, thin, grace
full women when the dress is perfectly
cut. But the gathers give much thick
ness, making a veritable parcel of &
woman with a passable figure.
Except in the case of the very young,
should advise stitched plaits.
AS to predicting, as l have been ask
ed by some of my readers to do, the
form Of skirt that will be worn next
spring or which tendency will triumph,
am absolutely incapable Of doing SO,
and the cleverest dressmaker is no fur
Their advanced than am. AS the tight,
strained form has been in favor for
some time, it is thought that the tend
ency will be toward fuller dresses

ADVERTISING.

1t Has ReVOlutioNi2cd Business and
Benefited Humanity.
Advertising is indeed one of the great
developments of the age. 1t has reVO-
lutiOnized business and made it posi-
BILE to accomplish in q few years what
otherwise would have taken genera
lions to compass. Today the advertis-
er, through the medium of the public
press, can introduce his article to the
entire public almost literally at a
bound Such q servant at the sellers
elbow has naturally made business
vastly different from what it was sew
eral hundred years ago.
1t is no longer necessary, as it was
in previous generations, to cOnfine
ones commercial transactions to linn
tied area. In fact. the manufacturer
of today regards the world as his field,
and there are quite a number of pro-
prietary articles, widely and favorably
known in every quarter of the civilized
world, which have been introduced dur
ing the lifetime Of their present pro-
prietOrs who are men only in the
prime of life.
Without advertising by which it is
possible to reach and influence hun
dreds of thousands of persons simulta-
neOusly, such a result could not be &C.
cOmplished in several generations, if
indeed it could be accomplished at ALL
Nor has this advertising benefited the
seller only. 1t has brought to the
knowledge of the buyer the hundreds
of improvements and articles by which
life can be made more pleasant, by
which the health can be preserved, the
palate gratifed, the intellect fed and
satisfied
1t is no eXaggeratiOn to say that no
force has cOnduced more to knit the
world closely together nor made our
mutual interdependence more apparent.
''It is but the simple truth to assert"
says a recent writer, that the loss Of
the information which the advertise
ments furnish would be one of the
greatest imaginable misfortunes to civ
ilization. Self Culture.

Ground Floor RedroOms

There is danger in the porous charac-
ter of plaster ceilings, which are
often very thin indeed. The ordinary
ceiling is 'only a porous diaphragm
permeable by gases with considerable
freedom" The vitiated air &C sitting
rooms therefore frequently finds its
way through into bedrooms. The Brit
ish Medical Journal asks any skeptic
to compare his bodily and mental SEN
sations after sleeping in such a room
and in one situated over similar room
well ventilated and not occupied or
illuminated by gas during the even
ing" The remedy, it says, is to have
bedrooms on the ground floor and liv-
ing, working and cooking rooms up
stairs. But how about noise?-

G1impses.

When are we to get rid of bolero bod
ices? They have become the Paris
makers obsession and are made the
dominating mode again this year, to
our great surprise.
There is a tremendous craze for fam
cifully trimmed cloth gowns this sea-
son. They stand a thing apart from
the regular tailor made suits and have
another wearing purpose altogether.
The smartest of them are one-third silk
applications, odd plush Powered silks,
suggesting the cloth rope effects in a
way.
Those very new, very pale pastel
tints in the finest of cloths are entered
as ball gowns. A Paris model in polar
blue is made UP with white baby lamb
and tulle, very odd effect, but exceed
ingly smart. These moonlight colors
prove very becoming. That is their
succeSs.-Vogue.
