IN the protecting qualities OF the veil,
and, except In very cold weather,
think the skin Is better without than

There is a slight change in the skirts
this autumn. and, though they fit as
closely round the hips as they have
done during the last few months. the
back, instead of being perfectly plain
with a seam up the back, has now a
box plait down the immediate center.

bottom as before. The new departure
OF the box plait is one which Will please

shopping agents have the opportunity
TO see the best that the various stores
have to show. Because they are known
as heavy buyers employees are ordered
TO accord them every courtesy and as

Usually the more proficient gram
mar school scholars alone aspire to
enter college, or the preparatory de
partment, for the purpose of COM
pleting their education. This being
the case, an examination of new
students should give an average of
the proficiency obtained in any
branch, and the recent tests in spell
ing would indicate that there is
something radically wrong with the
grammar school methods of instruc-
ton in that art. Eighty-five stu
dents underwent the last test, and
of that number nineteen passed.

to make it profitable to engage
ships for wheat export, even if the

Samuel GLASGOW, manager of the
Centennial Mills, said yesterday:
"Only one source Of relief can be
hoped for as long as these wars con-
tinue. That is to have more Amer
lean ships built which will be fitted
for the wheat export trade. But as
long as vessels are in such demand
for other purposes, there is little
hope that shipowners will charter
them for wheat carrying, as wheat
must be carried cheaper than many
other commodities on account of it's
bulk. The exporters now are com

q. r. Harrison In Fvefpreen.l

tF X Harrison in Evergreen)
Awake, OF Muse, my soul tonight
And give me strength and will
That l may tell with proper zeal
The story how our gallant bows
Left home and loved ones dear,
To risk their lives in foreign climes
For cause of human right.
Some cause has been some cause there IS, @
Some cause will always be,
For strife of man upon the land
Aud wars upon the sea-
A cause arose in ninetv-eipht
For modern men to face
a peoples rights were set at naught
BY dusky, southern race.
Unheard the cries from Cuba isle
No masters boon was sent,
They echoed back the plaintive wall
From far off Orient
neighbor heard this plaintive cry
And saw the cruel deed
Ofwicked men exacting pay
TO satisfy their greed
They crossed the Yankees fence
And with the "Maine" went up the hope
of Spanish prominence
No untitled field, no college hall,
No love of kin or friend
Could swerve brave men from Dutys call
Till tyranny did end.
Boys, gone you have, and well you fought
Your noble flag to shield
Full many day, and many night
You saw the battlefield
Midst powder smoke and leaden hail
You stood the fiery test,
Who'd live to see this day one knew
No better than the rest
You're home once more, you We done your par
And great the jubilee,
A joyous shout arises from
This nation, great and free
Long may the rights which you upheld
Be taught on land and sea,
Till every nation on this eaIth
Shall live i'll equity.
