His Hnnds Were Full

Touching the painful position of small man in large place, the Detroit Free Press tells a story of Jonas Howard, of Indiana When MT. Howard went to Con- gress, it says, he left behind him a devoted body of constituents who fancied that great personal benefits would come to them through MT. Towards powerful pres ence in the halls of national wisdom
 One of these rural adherents a small farmer, with some momentous political de- sign on his mind, followed MT. Howard to Washington in eager pursuance of that mysterious object. He returned in about five days, seemingly not much elated.
 Well, Bil,"<a town acquaintance sa- luted him, ''lid you see Washington and Mir Howard, and did you get what you went after?"
 "Ya-as, seen Washington" he replied. grumplly, ''and l seen Jonas; but Jonas couldn't do nothin fer me. He wuz a-hav- in hard work to keep from gettin' tromped on hisself."

the bottom or the skirt.
 Bands of periwinkle blue taffeta ribbon came from under the cascade and were caught up to the left shoulder seam where they ended in bows. The elbow sleevs were composed of horizontal tucks and were finished with frill of the dotted ba- tiste.
 The skirt was close fitting over the hips and was trimmed with Q broad tucked flounce that was narrower at the back and reached up to a point at the left seam of the apron. This was headed with road band of periwinkle blue taffeta ribbon end- ing in a windmill bow at the point of the frill where it held in place the cascade.
 Though rumor has 1t that the princess gowns popularity Is on the wane, stin there is a goodly number of them among the gowns worn at lawn parties.
 A tasteful princess gown worn by ma- tron was made of ecru lawn over white taffeta. It had yoke composed of heavy white guipure. Below this the lawn was draped as far as the waist line, where 1t fitted close and fell like double skirt over an underskirt of guipure. The edges of the lawn were bordered with ruches of narrow black velvet ribbon. The sleeves of the lawn were draped and were capped with the guipure that looked as though they were a continuation of the yoke.
 sash of black gauge was tied around the waist with long loops at the back and ends reaching to the bottom of the train. A round buckle of corals held it in place at the front.
 Directoire hats are much favored for lawn party toiettes as they lend them selves so well 10 soft picturesque trim mings. They invariably boast long fluffy strings which are looped to the left shoulder and tied in artistic knots.
 Ribbons are being used very effectively and many new and original bows have been invented The windmill bow Is seen very frequently upon the corsage. It is a bow with four loops and no ends. It is fastened to the left side of the corsage just over the bust and under the bow is concealed tiny watch pocket. The watch is held by very long chains of beads.

GARDEN PARTY GOWNS %
 FOR MONTH OF AUGUST

A lawn party gown of cream batiste was quite nodish. It had a skirt made close fitting over the hips that boasted an un- usually long train. The apron was cut in short rounding scallop and beneath it was inserted panel of heavy cream guip- ure. This was edged with narrow black velvet that was puekered and festooned around the scallop where it formed orna- ments at either side.
 The jacket was a short smart affair of cream guipure over white satin with nar- row plaited swallow tails" It had mar row reyers of sati nat the top anl bot tom of the jacket that were covered with strips of black velvet held along the edges with crystal olives.
 The sleeves were of the guipure, close fitting with a broad muskeeter cuff trim med in velvet Pale mauve chiffon was employed for the plastron that was draped and crossed and caught down into black velvet ceinture that came over the jacket at the back, where it was cldsped with large silver buckle. The plastron was V necked.
 A garden party gown designed for young woman in her teens was very dainty. It was made of cream batiste over cream surah. The corsage was composed entirely of narrow horizontal tucks. From the right shoulder fell a cascade of dotted cream batiste. It caught over to the left side of the ceinture with a strass buckle and from there fell in straight line to

 A remarkable novel gown of white lawn was built over white taffeta. The skirt was perfectly close fitting over the hips and fastened In an invisible way at the back. It was trimmed with deep Spanish f1ounce of embroidered lawn that was nar- Iower at the front and mounted nearly to the waist band at the back.
 Two bright ceres satin ribbons came from the waistband at the back and cOV- erfng the plaquet, separated and contin- ued around the top of the frill where they formed an ornament on the apron. The hand embroidered fiounce was most orig inal It was wrought in white cotton soutache and black chenille.
 The corsage was composed of the plain white lawn gathered on very full from the shoulder seams. It was trimmed with strips of the puckered ceres satin that came from the side seams and were car- ried over to the front of the corsage where they each terminated in swirl
 The two lower strips forming the cein- ture met at the front where they were held by a strass clasp. At the back of t1ne corsage the three puckered ribbons were put on in a sort of triple festoon extending from one armlole seam across to the other.
 The sleeves of the lawn were close fitting and were finished with frill of the em- broidered lawn at the wrists. Three bands of the ribbon mounted the top of the sleeves, giving the effect of being con- tinuation of those trimming the corsage.

Paris, August 26-Many of the farewell functions given la tely in Paris have been garden parties. There are quite a few of the old aristocratic families here who retain their ancestral homesteads, sub stantial low buildings set quite back from the street surrounded by cool green lawns and sturdy old trees. Unfortunately for the outside world a formidable wall sur rounds this refreshing bit of venture, 0 wall so high that one may never hope for a peep over it. So unless the garden party is given for "Charity's Sweet Sake and the gates are thrown open to all, one must be content with a glance at the smart set that are being ushered in.
 The toilettes worn at these city garden parties are as elaborate as can be imagin- ed in every detail. Hats, gowns. wraps, footwear and parasols all have distinct i've rather festive air, which is mixture of pcturesqueness and smartness, or ra ather smartness tempered by pictures queness. In this toilette woman has a right to make becomingness her chiefess thought, and bend fashions rigid rules to her liking.
 Now, just in the dead of summer, the garden party toiettes are exceedingly light and fluffy; and all of the gauzy ma terials are employed. Neutral tints are

Former proprietors of stores ab- sorbed by the corporation will be retained as managers and will have interests in the stores. They will become stockholders in the company. The present store will be in this city as the base of supplies for the branch establishments.

AstonIshed the PrInoe of Wales

General de Gallifet, the new minister of war in France, is an ardent cyclist. The following story is told of him by the Chi cago Record. The general was somewhat intimate with the Prince of Wales, who asked him to come for ride in the Bois. General de Gallifet begged to be excused from so great an honor. However, later on the prince invited him to breakfast with him at the Chateau de Madrid. "Very we'll" said the general, land I will come on my bicycle" The prince took this as a joke, but at the appointed hour the gen. eral arrived on his bike, to the astonish- ment of his royal highness. Not satisfied with his success, the general tried to give a military salute, with the direful conse- quence that he lost his balance and fell at the princes feet.

 A PAIN REMEDY. For over fifty years this wonderful rem edy has proved itself the best, safest and surest antdote for pain in the world.
The True Relief, RADWAYs READY RELIEF For Internal and External Use.

In using medicines to stop pain, we should avoid such as inf1ict injury on the system. Opium, Morphine, Chloroform, Ether, Cocaine and Chloral stop pain by destroying the sense of perception, the patient losing the power of feeling. This is a most destructive practices; it masks the symptoms, shuts up, and instead of re- moving trouble, breaks down the stom- ach, liver and bowels, and, if continued for a length of time, kills the nerves and pro- duces local or general paralysis.
 There is no necessity for using these un- certain agents when positive remedy like RADWAY'S READY RELIEF will stop the most excruciating pain quicker, without entailing the least danger in either infant or adult.
 It instantly stops the most eXcruciating pains, alays inflammation and cures con- gestions, whether of the Lungs, Stomach, Bowels or other glands or mucous mem branes,
