A collision occurred about 6 O'Clock
Sunday evening on the Palmer and Mon
son street railway, near the Knox farm,
on the Thorndike road. Several persons
were slightly injured. The car going
north, bound for Bondsville, was In charge
of Conductor Haley and Motorman Ward.
The south-bound car, which was extra,
was in charge of Conductor McKiernan
and Motorman Templeton. The extra
car, which had been running on the For
est lake line during the day, had orders
to follow the car from Ware to Palmer.
The car from Ware was in charge of Con-
ductor Miller and Motorman Roche. The
Bondsville car passed the Ware car at
the Pasco switch and proceeded on its
way until 1t approached the curve near
the Knox farm, when the extra hove in
sight. Both motormen made every effort
to stop, and the cars were not moving
very rapidly when the collision occurred.
Both motormen jumped and escaped in
jury. The front of the extra car was bad
ly broken in, but the Bondsville car was
not very much damaged. DR.. J. P.
Schneider was summoned to care for
those who were hurt. So far as he was
able to determine on the first examina-
ton, no one was seriously injured. Those
who seemed to be hurt most severely
were Mrs. Joseph Come, Mary Duni and
W. ]. Mccormick, all of Thorndike :;
Miss Eliza Caryl and W. J. Mulligan of
Palmer. Many others were somewhat
shaken up and bruised. W. J. McCor-
mick was injured about the chest; just
how severely DR.. Schneider was unable at
first to tell. Mary Duni had bad cut
over one eye and was somewhat bruised.
Miss Caryl received blow on the head
and her elbow Is injured. Those who
were injured sat In the rear seats of the
car. Those in the first and second seats
were unframed. Neither car was crowd
ed at the time of the accident. The off.
GERS have since investigated and found
that the fault of the collision rested upon
the crew of the car from Ware, which
passed the switch for Palmer just before
the collision. This car should have car
ried sign upon it front warning all cars
that a special was following. No such
card was displayed, hence the accident
The omission seems to have been the re-
suit of misunderstanding.

one yellow ear drawn over his wicked
little eye, ready to flap away any ad-
vcnturous fly that might settle on his
nose. Around him In the morning sun

master. polishing his machine. He
found much comfort In handling It that
morning. A dozen philosophical essays
or angelically attuned songs for the
consolation OF the bereaved could new

sheep shenrlng machine was that day.

said EN- to Waldo, who was listlessly
pillng cakes of fuel on the kraal wall
n week after. "It Is n box OF books
that belonged to my father. We
thought that Tant Sannie had burned
them"
The boy put down the cake he was
raising and looked at her
IL don't think they are very nice, not
storles," she added, but you can go
and take any you like"
SO saying, she took up the plate In
which she had brought his breakfast
and walked off to the house.
After that the boy worked quickly.
The pile OF fuel Bonaparte had ordered
him TO pack was on the wall in half
an hour. He then went TO throw salt
on the skins laid out TO dry. Finding
the pot empty, he went to the loft to
refill IT.

opened at the foot Of the ladder, saw
the boy go up and stood In the door

ed his boots blacked. Doss, finding hc
could not follow his master up the
round bars, sat patiently at the foot of
the ladder. Presently he looked up
longlngly, but no one appeared Then
Bonaparte looked up also and began to
call, but there was no answer. What
could the boy be dolng1 The loft was
an unknown land to Bonaparte. He
had often wondered what was up
there. lie liked TO know what was In
all locked up places and out OF the

climb the ladder. So Bonaparte look
ed up and, in the name OF all that was
tantallzIng, questioned what the boy
did up there. The loft was used only
as n lumber room. What could the
fellow find up there to keep him so
long2
Could the Boer woman have beheld
Waldo at that instant any lingering
doubt which might have remained In
her mind as to the boys insanity
would instantly have vanished, for
having filled the salt pot, he proceeded
TO look for the box of books among
the rubbish that filed the loft. Under
n pile Of sacks he found it-a rough
packing case, nailed up, but with ono
loose plank. He lifted that and saw
the even backs OF n row or books llo
knclt down before the box and ran his
hand along IT'S rough edges, as If TO
assure himself OF It's existence. He
stuck his hand In among the books and
pulled out two. He felt them, thrust

came into contact with something.
Bonaparte drew Il forth-a small
square parcel. sewed up in sailcloth.
lie gazed at It. squeezed it. 1t crack
ell. as though full of bank n0tes. He
put It quickly into his own Eaistcoat
pocket and peeped over the half door
to see if there was any one coming.
There was nothing TO be seen but the
last rays of yellow sunset light paint
ing the "'karroo" bushes In the plain
and shining on the ash heap, where the
fowls were pccking. He turned and
sat down on the nearest chair and, TAX
ing out his penllnife, ripped the parcel
open The first thing that fell was a
shower Of yellow, faded papers. Bona
parte opened them carefully one by
Ine and smoothed them out on his
knee. There was something very val
liable to be hidden 50 carefully, though
the German characters he could not
decipher When he came to the last
one. he felt there was something hard
In it.
you've got it, Bon, my boy; you've
got it, he cried, sIapping his leg hard.
Edeing nearer to the door, for the
light was fading, he opened the paper
carefully. There was nothing inside
but plain gold wedding ring.
Better than nothingw said Bona
parte, trying to put it on his little fin
ger, which. however, proved toe fat.
He took It off and set 1t down on the
table before him and looked at 1t with
his crosswise eyes.
~When that auspicious hour, San
ME-" he said, shall have arrived

ed by Hymen's torch, to the connubial
altar, then upon thy fair amaranthine
finger, my joyous bride, shall this ring
repose.

are quite distinct from the Scotch plaids
and resemble nothing so much as the cos
tune of a native italian woman out for a
&, I day. The puppies, the yellows, and
the strange bright greens mingle oddly,
yet we'll.
Madame de Stael was never more de-
voted to her touch of black than is the
woman of the present day. Narrow black
velvet ribbons trim almost everything.
They are used to stripe challies, to square
foulards and to figured ribbons A few
yards of very narrow black velvet, in the
hands of a clever Paris modiste, will
transform a yard of plain blue ribbon
into a fancy ribbon design for which YOU
would have paid YOU dollar and more.
One of the newest ways of using black
silk is under the lace applique on para
soils. The small lace figures are laid upon
the parasol and underneath them is fit
ted a very small piece of black silk.
Many are the new and beautiful
street gowns all in white. One of banana
white cloth was trimmed with rose ap-
plications n green leaves. The Ouch
ess OF York, who expects to be about
again in time for the queens drawing
rooms, has recently ordered a cloth gown
of alumine, which is a little lighter than
the shade which we call aluminium, with
vest of primrose satin and with yoke and
sleeves of the same. Nothing handsomer
could be imagined than the brilliant rose
satin in contrast to the softness of the
gray.
New gowns are not made of one ma
terial, two, three. fou~ and even five are
used in one costume. Vest and sleeves
may be alike. but the stock. the belt, and
the skirt ruffes are different: and none
OF these match either the skirt or the
tunic. Modistes declare that this is q
very economical arrangement, but as all
the goods are of the most e~xtravagant
materials, and most of them are the nov
cities OF the season, the economy of this
step may we'll be questioned.

fabric is this and beautiful. but it is up
wards of $3.50 per yard and only half a
yard wide. Then there is crepe satin, a
new material, very lustrous with a
rinked surface. This comes at a trifle
lower figure. bur high enough to count in
making a costume. s@
A gown recently worn by Mrs. John
Jacob Aston at the exposition was of
blue French foulard, with lace flowers
appliqued ON the silk. These lace flowers
are very beautiful and are often cut from
priceless pieces of lace which cost the
French lace makers many a year over
the lace cushion Of the provinces.
The mode of applique is interesting as
described to me by a couturiere. The
lace design is first carefully spread upon
the foulard and each tiny point along the
edge is picked out and made to show.
When the lace is nicely laid, the coutur-
iere takes a thread of finest silk, of the
exact color of the lace, and carefully
catches down the flower in the middle;
then she cautiously fastens each petal in
the same way and concludes with the
stem and the leaves. The edges of the
lace are not appliqued, but the lace is
run around the edge with a very" hin
silk thread. The sharpest contrasts are

LATEST GLIMPSE OF
PARIs FASHIONS
And What the Smart Set in the American Colony are
Wearing These Bright Days-A Season for Fancy
Vests-Vivid Colors on the Return

Paris, May 3.-From the very tight fit
ting skirt we are coming gradually to the
skirt bouffant. Many of the gowns seen
at the opening day of the exposition were
decidedly puffed around the hips, giving
the waist, oh, such a tiny appearance.
One worn by Mrs. Austin Scott, an
American who halls from one of the
western states, was made with a tunic
open in front and slit to the waist; the
sides were drawn up high in such a way
as to puff the material over the hips in
shepherdess lyle. The bodice was tight
fitting and was drawn down to a low
point in front for all the world like the
Dresden figures.
Just at this transition period there is
always danger of OVERRIDING the matter of
dress, and the temptation to go to eX-
tremeS outdoes the good sense of the
woman. Those who find the bouffant eff
feet becoming, rush into these dresses,
putting them more and more, until the
absurdity strikes all beho!ders.
The skirt which has a plain front and
is gathered around the sides and in the
back is a bOuffant one, as the gathers
make the hips full.
huntress, Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg of
Long Island. who made such a sensation
IN London and Paris recently, look we'll
in such a dress, but let the stout woman
cling to the less trying modes.
The latest tunic is one that has a short
pointed front. The back consists entirely
of sash ends which fall almost to the
floor.
Another tunic is of this description
with the front Slashed to the belt line
and the points lined with a contrasting
silk.
ROUND WAISTS.
Bodies are round, rather than
blouse; it is the comfort of the blouse
without it's c~oarseness. The waists are
cut round, ending at the belt line. and,
though not tight fitting, they are by no
means saggy Nearly all bodices have
the vest of contrasting material put in
by clever devices; and you see vests
pointed, vests square, and vests that are
hardly vests at all, but merely full yokes,
with a long pointed vest shaped piece in
front. .
The modistes are making these entirely
separate for a Qua reason; the first is
so that the vest can be %laundered. and
the second SO that a new vest can be in
serted OF different color and style. This
is the day of rejoicing for the short
necked women; for the tour de cou is in
again, in a variety which is very beeom-
ing. All the Etons, boleros, and little
jackets are made without collars, so that
there is room for the tour de cou without
crOwding the throat.
The pretty little neck trimming is made
up IN many ways, n of the most popu-
lar OF these being a series of rosettes,
round or fiat. and sewed together upon
q RIBBON In such a wa" that they slightly

BEING HAPPY AS
A FINE ART
By Mrs. John Vance Cheney.

1t is mastery of self-that and nothing
more. 1t is the making of ones self equal
to any occasion. I believe tina mine
can create whatever conditions it is di-
rected to create b the will, and that the
secret of right living lies in training the
will and in coming into a recognition of
the personal power hat every one mas.
Jesus knew and recognized this power
as no one else ever has. But all the wise
and good and great of any age have fol-
lowed along these ines. 1t is for us to-
day to realize that it is possible for each
one of US to lead this life of the spirit
at all times and in all places, so that
whatever we may desire to possess or to
be which is better will come to pass.
Fear and anger are the elements tina
must be eliminated from the nature be-
fore tangible results m be. observed.
and these are the W great forces of
evil, depression, ill-health and lack Of
success.
1t stands to reason that this should
be so, when actual scientific experiments
have demonstrated that the breath of an
angry man breathed into a glass depos-
its a brown substance which, If injected
into a dog. will cause death. Anger is
poison, n when a person is angry his
whole system is being poisoned by exactly
the same thing that kills the dog. This
has also been proved true of fear. Both
u be eliminated and their places filled
by perfect faith and absolute serenity in
which all things are possible.
