Skillful Work for a Boy.

Elmer Gibbs, the thirteen-year.old
son of E. T. Gibbs, exhibits these days
as remarkable evidence of skillful la
Dor for a boy as can be found in this or
any other mans town. He is a manu-
facturer of cord hynets, and is that
nimble with his fingers that he can
turn out pair complete with trim
mings in two days. These he sells at
So pair, or $1.50 for single net. He
was taught this work at the state insti-
tute for the blind at Vinton, which he
has attended the past year owing to
impaired eye-sight. Though able to
see, his work is accomplished by the
sense of touch, and he could make the
nets at the darkest hour of night if
necessary Waukon Democrat.

His Stronghold.

"The newspaper has been my
stronghold" Such was the express
sion of prominent advertiser recently
when asked his opinion of the value of
newspaper advertising. Day after
day, year after year, this advertiser
has kept his place of business. by per-
sistent advertising, always before the
public, and the only difference from
year to year would be a greater amount
devoted to publicity. AS consequence
the advertisements of this particular
merchant has come to be depart
ment' of the newspapers in which he
adyertises, and his advertisements are
read by housekeepers especially, quite
as thoroughly as the news columns of
the papers. How is it known that
these ads are so carefully read? Be
cause the orders that follow the daily
announcements are made on the adj
vertised prices. Daily and weekly
throughout the year, this merchant
advertises, for as he says, "the doors of
my establishment are open the year
round; have goods for sale at all sea-
sons of the year; the pay roll must be
met each week; my expenses never
lessen; why, then, should I discontinue
my advertising at any season of the
year? There is no reason, and / don't. F."

the only improvement in dairy methods
possible lies along the line of better

But. say-you watch the blue-eyed girl

She gets there just the same!

CHARACTERISTIC.

Rather an amusing incident was con-
cisco, en- route to Washington, of
Judge w. L. Chambers, who has been
for a number of years Chief Justice Of
Samoa, says the San Francisco News
Letter. The Judge is we'll educated
and highly cultivated ALBANIAN, with
hat polish of that rara avis, the
southern gentleman of the best type
In an interview, published at Homo
lulu on his way up, the Chief Justice
was so serio usly misrepresented in
his alleged statements regarding Sa-
moan matters that he took the wise
precaution in San Francisco of writing
out his views on the more ticklish
matters concerning which he was in
terviewed. Like most great men,
Judge Chambers pen manship would
never be taken as a model in district
school. A printer on morning paper
to whom it was given to set up was in
despair.
sLook here,"he said, ''this is posi-
lively the worst writing ever was up
against"
"But that was written by the Chief
Justice of Samoa, man. Look how
much character there is in the writ
ing"
ssChief Justice of Samoai" sneered
the compositor. "That accounts for
it. I might have known he was a
South Sea Islander. I could smell
cannibal in the ink.'

ENTERTAIN YOUR HUSBAND.

''If wives and sisters woul try to
supply something restful and quiet on
the arrival of the man of the family
from his daily W ork, might not much
of the hopelessness and discomfort of
home life be done away with?
"Women work hard all day too"
was the answer, "and they are just as
tired at evening time. You cannot
expect miracle from them"
But it seems to some of us that just
such things can be expected of them,
and that were the miracle performed
the hopelessness of existing conditions
would vanish. The beginning of the
miracle might be brought about if wo-
men, no matter how busy they were,
nor what had happened during the
day, would arrange to spend an hour
in some sort of recreation with their
husbands every evening. This recre-
alton might take any TO rm, from quiet
comDanionship, as the wife sewed or
knitted beside her husband as he
smoked, to pleasant work upon some
particular hobby which she has take n
up because it was interesting to her
and interesting to him, including any
thing in the form of outdoor life after
the supper, walking or taking part In
some game with him. The duties of
the two are bound to be of interest to
both. 1t is the pleasures and recrea-
tons of both which require study be-
fore they can become of common
interest, and it is part of the wife's
field to give sufficient thought to these
matters so that they may bee ONE of
practical use. The miracle might go
even step farther, for the wife or
daughter could cultivate some one
pursuit or interest of her own, throw
ing into it her enthusiasm, finding in
it refreshment, and making oft an
object by which the sympathies and
interest of her husband or brother
would be aroused.
This is only suggestion, but it has
its significance. 1t has it's signifi-
canoe, because it can be tried in any
home, because whatever is done with
this purpose sincerely in view is just
so far step, and a good step, in the
right direction, and because any wife
or any sister may fit its application TO
her own case, and start at once to
produce some little result.-Hdrper's
Bazaar.

EARLY FALL MILLINERY.

Usually by the last ofSeptember the
summer hat begins to have faded air
that is out of place among the bright
colors of autumn. If the hat is black
one it can be remodelled so that il
may be worn until the last of Novem-
| Der.
If the straw is soiled, clean by a
good brushing with borax water and
after application of lemon juice.
Place in the sun with the brim fat.
Remove the faded flowers and rib
bon and trim with broad bow of
black taffeta silk corded and tucked
on the edge, or velvet wired to the
desired shape, thrust couple of curry
ed black quilts through the loops,
brighten with a fancy cut steel Or jet
and rhinestone buckle, and tuck a
knot of red velvet Or red rose under
the brim.
Velvet bows are made from the ma
terial, cut bias, and ornamented on
the edge with a row of stitching, or
with several rows at.regular intervals.
All decorations are now massed
high upon the hats, in many cases
concealing the crown, and trimmings
are exaggerated in size Ostrich
feathers will be a popular trimming
for both fall and winter hats.
Soft gray felt shapes are used for
outing hats, for golf, and school wear.
The brims are usually rolling and the
crown high. A soft twist of gray tat
feta is wound around the crown and
brought toward the left side of the
front, where it forms large wing
bow. The silk is finished on the edge
with several narrow tucks, and dull
gold buckle holds the bow in position.
