THE BEST PAYS BEST.
Farmer Who Grows Something Bet<
ter Than Can he Found in the
Market Makes Money.

The great difficulty in making farms
pay is that most farm crops cannot be
assorted into good, better and best.
They msst be sold at SO nearly a uni
form price that there is no money In it
In stock growing and in fruit growing
such wide differences in value can be
made that it is possible to charge the
very rich, who always want the best,
whatever the best is worth more, and
If It be not too easily produced, than
this. So long as man grows only for
the universal market, he must sell az
| prices which even the poorest can pay.
But let him grow something better than
| can be found in the market, and he can
| get enough higher prices to pay him
| double for ali his extra trouble. This
| is the secret Of getting rich in all kinds
of business. Money is to be got from
| those who have it, and not from those
| who have It not Does this forget the
! poor? Not at all. The struggle to i'm
prove quality is always changing its
ground. The best of one year is thus
placed within the reach of all few
years later, and another best has taken
its place.
Barring accidents from untimeIy
frosts, it is the best fruit that pays th'
most profit and that can be grown mos
cheaply if the average of years is con
sidered. The labor of spraying with in
secticides and with fungicides to maxi
the fruit fair, and the further labor o
thinning 1t, produces so much NOR
fruit every year that it can be sold witt
profit at rates within the reach of al
The very rich will still get the bes
and pay for it, but the poorest win &c
more and better fruit than they eve

In one color, or more properly speaking,
different tones of the same color; and
violent contrast In the matter OF trim
ming has disappeared completely from
The world Of stylish, up-to-date miIlin-,
Very. That this absurd fashion Of COM
lbintng ell the colors Of the rainbow
upon one small hat has come to an
hgnominious end is a matter for much
rejoicing. AT it's best, even under the
slxillful manipulations Of the deft fin
;Rered artistic French trimmer, its good
taste was more than doubtful, while at
Its worst it was shockingly ugly. The
hats brought out within the past week
differ quite materially from those seen
at the beginning of the season. While
In shape and size they are utterly with
out limit, and the same may be said
also of the price, the two shapes most
sought after at the present time are
The small pointed toque, with Its IN
limited possibilities in the matter of
trimming, and the large picture hat
grooming under loads of waving plumes
and soft loops of velvet held in position
10y large ornamental pins.
The beautiful bird of paradise feath
ers, both in black and in their lovely
natural colorings, are much used b.
the best French milliners; and some O.
the most charming toques seen thus fai
have been crowned by these soft, sweep
ing feathers.
Big butterflies, in black and whit
gnuze, richly spangled, form anoths
favorite trimming. and one large but
1erfy of this description with wing
outspread as often as not constitute
the sole trimming of a toque or the POI
hnlar directoire hat
All kinds of fanciful velvet and gauz
ribbons are used by way of trimmin
on some of the smallest looking lare
lturbans, while equally popular for TIL
purpose, and somewhat newer, Is
trimming formed of loops Of fine stra
braid folded together with fairly wiC
bands OF velvet These straw and We
vet loops make most effective tr1r

which looks almost as well and does
not begin TO cost as much money. En- |
tirely new are the shirts with draped
fronts, the prettiest being made of
crepe de chine or mousseline de sole,
while equally charming and quite as
high in price are other shirts made of
oriental satin with yoke and sleeves of
transparent lace, softly laid over col
ored foundation.
Not nearly so dainty as the shirts /
have described, but far more useful in
every way, are those fashioned Of tine
French flannel in stripes as well as In
solid colors. In the very nature of
things shirts made of this material do
not admit of much, if any, trimming.
The best makers content themselves
with few broad tuclxs, or else narrow
! lengthwise plaits held In place by tiny
! tailor buttons, and finished with soft
collar and folded girdle of mirror vel
vet. But the good effect of the most
beautiful or the plainest shirt ever
created win lie absolutely ruined unless
it is properly put on. The correct way
to wear a shirt is not known to the ma
| iority of womankind, and the fortunate
sister who has the knowledge, OF knack
or whatever it may be called, should
look upon it as q heaven-born gift aR6
value it accordingly.
The new skirt does not fit the hips

useful for rough and ready wear, as it
does not easily get out of order, and
even the strongest wind cannot affect
its rigid uprightness. Tulle continues
to play an important part on the new
est winter millinery, both as a trim
ming and for making the entire hat. A
stunning piece of headgear seen yester-
day was fashioned of this airy-fairy
material. Its color was brown, its
shape rather large, with the brim
turned back of the face in front, while
dts soft, pulled crown was almost COM
pletely hidden under the rich plumage
of the bird of paradise, beautifully
shaded from the deepest brown to
palest yellow. The feathers rested
upon a drawn drapery of the tulle,
while at the left side, just where the
brim touched, there was a cluster OF
.sillxen roses in soft shades of pale gel
low and deep gold.
In millinery few combinations are
really smarter than black and white
but unfortunately the handsomest win
ter headgear in this ideal combination
follows somewhat closely upon the
lines of the old-fashioned poke, a shape
becoming only to very few. The far
ing brims are invariably lined with soft
pufings of morsseline de sole, while
the trimming usually takes the form o
an immense butterfly of black gauze
placed in front against the soft crown
or else any number of ostrich feathers
some black, others white, all starting
from the back, the ends dropping rounl

schedules at the assessors office in
Chicago, showing an unusual amount
of personal property subject to taxa
ton. Mrs. Mccormick listed mil
lion dollars worth of property, and
Mrs. Blaine went half million bet

who are possessed of large accumula-

taxation; hence a great many honor
able people pay no more personal
property taxes than they can help.
But Mrs. Mccormick and her daugh-
