of office for the kings signature. Not
to incense his majesty by asking him

have the blanks filled up.

That Boy of
Yours,

Like the illustrious Patrick Henry
would as soon he dead as to be
robbed of his liberty.
He must have liberty no mat
ter how high it cOmes-to you
And in the exercise of that lib
erty he is bound to wear out a
pair of shoes every-well let's
say, every once in a while No
matter how good the shoes, they
will wear out-often, too.
There's only one thing to do.
Buy the best shoes you can get,
pay fair price for them, thus
making sure of the quality, and
then-let the boy do the rest.
We believe we have n better
stock of boys shoes than any
other shoe store in town. We
believe we own them as cheaply
as anyone can, and we are willing
to part with them at small
profit.

EFFECT OF BoER WAR FELT.
Moline Manufact urers Say tt is InjuriDg

Their Business
Moline manufacturers claim that
the war in South Africa is being felt
in their business. Many are of the
opinion that the trade will be ma
terially inte-ferred with in case the
struggle is q long one. The trade
with South Africa out of Moline has
assumed proportions which are con-
ness. OF late it has been steadily
growing and all of the manufacturers
unite in the hope that the present
trouble will not effect any great or
permanent curtailment of their eX-
ports.
In speaking of the war, Theodore
Starks, trade manager of the Moline
Plow company. said that the warlihe
attitude affairs mas taken in South
Africa has caused late shipments to
be held pending the receipt of future
orders. This, however, had not
amounted to as much as if the orders
had come earlier in the season At
present the season for shipment to
South Africa was so far along that
most of the orders had been filled ere
the countermand came. Mr.. Starks
said that the export trade is growing
rapidly and is commanding the atten-
ton of manufacturers everywhere.
Today more implements of improved
and up-to-date construction are being
used in South Africa than in parts or
our own country, especially in the
southern states. Gang plows are III
common use in South Africa. He also
spoke highly of the business methods
of the foreign dealers.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Novel Use For Paper.

Crinkled Japanese paper may be
used for decorative as well as useful
purposes in the bedroom, dressing
room or boudoir. 1t can be used to
cover the tops of tables, shelves, ETC.,
hanging down over the ends, and with
its slightly rufled edges it makes a
most artistic appearance, especially
when selected to harmonize with the
wall hangings and draperies of the
room. One person had very pretty
boudoir and dressing room combined
fitted up in green's, blues and dull
tans, which blend so well together,
and the walls, ceilings, carpets, rugs
and cushions were all of these tints in
pearl or blended patterns. Coverings
of all shelves, tables, dresser top, etc. i,
were of the same tinge of green, with
the edges pulled out ever so slightly,
and the effect was most pleasing.

Illinois club women have under
taken crusade against the use OF
woman's face or figure for advertising
purposes. 1t is proposed that no
woman's face, in other words, shall
be any mans fortune. This unique
reform OF the scandalized fair sex
bobbed up serenely at recent meet
ing of the Fourteenth Congressional
District Federation OF Women's g
Clubs, held at Lewistown. The petit
tion-loving club women who were
present compared advertising pic
lures and promptly decided they were
enough to drive the Jouth of America
to corruption. Thereupon they drew
upa stringent set of resolutions, which
have since been printed for the pur-
pose of distribution among the wom-
ems clubs of the State. After these
"face and figure" resolutions are suf-
ficiently supported by feminine sig
natures they will be turned over to
their dear masculine friends-the
lawmakers in the State Legislature

there be issued stern manifesto

In the older portions of the country,
especially among those who grow lit
tie grain, the steam thresher is much
less in demand than it used to be.
Unless there is grain enough to make
q full days work the job will not pay.
A great deal of extra help has to be
hired, and the money thus expended
will hire the small job threshed by
hand in winter. thus giving work for
several days when there is little work
to be had, and when for the poor the
necessity of earning something is the
greatest. There are other advantages
of hand threshing. Much of the
newly threshed straw will be eaten
by stock that would not touch the
same straw if it had been threshed
by machine weeks before, and had
lain ever since in the stack.

Silk Gowns For Summer.

No summer wardrobe will be COM
plete without one or TWO silk gowns,
and this is very good time to buy
last years patterns for one-half what
they were sold for last year or will be
sold for later. The newest patterns
and designs are very expensive as yet,
and will not como DOM in price until
midsummer. These silks are to be
found in glace foulards, surahs, and
of course in taffetas; but these last
come under the same head as the
glace silks. 1t is to be the fashion
for every woman who prides herself on
possessing a thorough wardrobe to
have at least one black silk in her
outfit this year. These black silk
gowns are made up with some con-
trasting color in the vest or introduced
in the trimming. There are also the
figured taffetas, rather heavier than
the usual taffeta, somewhat between a
gros grain and \ taffeta. This wears
well, and in some shops can be bought
as low as eighty-fve cents yard

Hogs Sleeping Upstairs.

A neighbor of mine, IN building o
new hog house, made a second floor
just above the first, high enough to
clear aman's head. From each apart
ment he made runway at an angle of
about forty-fve degrees, with strips
to prevent slipping. The sleeping
rooms for the hogs were on the upper
floor. Most hogs will keep their
sleeping rooms very neat, dry aud
cloan. Sometimes young hogs will
get into bad habits, but you can soon
break them of that by closing trap
door to keep them down little longer
after eating. Old hogs are very partic-
ular about keeping their sleeping
room dry and clean.
New hogs introduced into the house
do not have to be taught to go up
stairs to bed, but they will find their
way up stairs within an hour after
they enter the pen. The discoverer
of this disposition in hog had con-
fined several of them in an old log
house where there was such a runway
leading.to the chamber above. When
he went to look for his hogs there was
none to be seen. He searched the
surrounding country, but no trace
could be found. Going back to find
where they had got out, he heard q
noise up stairs and the mystery was
solved.-J. B. Rice, in American Agri-
culturist.
