When the long roll-call is sounded
on the camping ground OF Fame,
And each hero OF the ages
Answers present" to his name,
Mid the first of all the answers
That shall ring out clearest then
Will be heard the steadfast voices
OF brave Cronje and his men.
When they felt the British lion
Drawing nearer to his prey,
And they heard his growl Of thunder
Growing deeper day by day.
They still fought with hearts undaunted
Till all hope of aid had fled;
Till they saw their friends and brothers,
Fen their women, mid the dead.
They are victors though defeated.
They have to the nations shown
How the men of veldt and mountain
Can, though dying hold their own.
Let their names be blazoned proudly
On Times honor-roll, and, when
Men shall seek the names of heroes,
Call brave Cronie and his men!

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Designs For Costumes That Have Be

New York CRY (Speciar. There
are so many ways of finishing off a
bodice at the throat nowadays that
! the only difficulty is which to choose.
From tailor made suits up, every kind
of costume has its neck arrangement
in lace, lisse, chiffon, satin, silk or a
combination Of all of these. In the
cut on the left we have dainty
decoration for the throat in Alencon
lace. The design is known as the

ing supposedly worn cravats of this
style. The stock has foundation of
white satin covered with the lace put
on plain, but frilling about the upper
edge in very graceful way. This
frill is much deeper in the back than
IN the front. The jabot of very wide
lace is draped most artistically and
apparently held in place by a couple
of small diamond buckles.

Fashion Notes.


Shirred ribbon is pretty trimming
for fancy waists and for children 8
frocks.
Some of the corduroy and velveteen
and cloth gowns are trimmed with
bands of white kid edged with beaver
fur.
Quite new are tiny charms carved
from coral. These include little
images, skull and cross bones, rab.
bit, pig, clover leaf. etc.
Do not choose one-piece skirt for
q girl. 1t will sag, and short dress
that sags is simply horrible. II she
is too old to have it ON the straight,
make it with three or more cores.
Bias bands and loops made of mar
row folds of mirror velvet and fast
ened at the ends with tiny gold or
rhinestone button are very effective
finish for collar bands and vest fronts.
Antelope gloves are worn by the
best-dressed women, and the un-
dressed thicker skins are also very
popular. White glace gloves are as

evenings at the theatre.
One of the fashion tendencies is the
favor shown to plaits, broad, narrow,
accordion and otherwise. Even fur
is plated these days. There is every
reason to expect this feature to come
out very strongly in the spring.
The BRASS eyelet is beginning to APP.
pear on the woman's shoe to carry out
the effect of the rounded toe, the pro.
jecting sole and military heel. But
foI house wear tue other extreme in
footwear is sought, extremely high
heels being in order.
The folding leather purse, which is
held by running two fingers through
soft leather strap, has, evidently,
come to stay. Every other woman on
the streets these days is carrying one,
and If women will carry their money
in their hands this is the safest way
to do it.
just about one woman in five hun
dred appears to have screwed her
courage up to the point of purchasing
and wearing a long tailed box coat,
and the frank admission must be made
that the loveiest figure is utterly lost
and forgotten when swathed in one of
these bed gowned shaped affairs.
The present fashion of dress has led
to demand for long hipped corsets.
These are useful for narrow hips, aS
it is easy to supply the necessary
roundness under the curve OF the cor
set without destroying the outline as
the hip bustles so generally worn are
certain to do. The latter reveal their
falsity at every step.

Almost Engulfed In Cnve-in.

As County Commissioner Patrick NJ. Finn
was leaving his stable In Wilkes Barre the
ground suddenly sank beneath him Just as
he got outside the door. In an instant he
had sunk up to his waist. He threw out his
arms, but the earth on each side OF him was
sliding downward. He realized that there
was cave-in and that he was over the old
workings OF the Pine Ridge coliery where
he had worked as a boy. With death creep
ing around him, he made IL desperate strug-
gle to get out, and after great effort he
managed partly to extricate himself and
reach the side OF the barn, and there he
caught hold ola projecting beam. He hung
to this, but could get no foothold, as the
earth continued to slide beneath him. Fin
ally he drew himself upon tho beam. and
crawled along until he reached point where
he could get on firm ground. When daylight
came hole thirty feet deep was found. and
the barn was on the edge OF 1t. The hole
was steep pitch of an old chamber. and had
Finn gone down he would have been covered
with earth and smothered. The barn was
propped up and the hole filed during the
day. No further disturbance Is expected.
The cave was caused by the roof of the
workings falling in and the earth rushing
down until it filled the place.

A wilderness of transparent stufis is
in vogue, especially for the young
girls whom this season introduced in
10 society. Miss Mary Crocker, who,
as BELTS a multi-millionairess, is
credited with wearing an evening
dress but twice before discarding it,
has appeared in lovely gown of two
sorts of lace over two pettiooats, one
OF chiffon, the other of satin.
The upper part OF the dress is of an
exquisite creamy silk net draped at
the corsage to give clinging, jacket
effect, aud then falling in q graceful
tunic. Upon this exquisite back
ground leaves and flowers, some OF
cream guipure lace and others of
black gauze, are appliqued, and these
are hecked here aud there with tur-
quoises.
The lower part of the dress is made
OF deep founce of black lace over
white silk, and the long, narrow train
flowing out from the waist at the back
IL again OF the net with cream and
black applications.
The bodice is cut very low, as is
now the mode, and is sleeveless, a
large bow OF black and turquoise blue
velvet being placed on each shoulder.
Turquoise blae velvet studded with
tnrquoises is introduced also among
the lace folds OF the corsage. This
lace and ieweled robe is mounted over
white chiffon and this in turn over
white satin.

E GOOD ROADS NOTES
Improving the Highway.

Recent reports from California IN
dicate that the use of oil on roadways
has been pretty thoroughly tested dur
ing the last year, and with very salts
factory results. Some seventy-fve or
eighty miles have been made dustless
in this way and seem TO have turned
ont well enough to lead to continu.
ance of the practice. The method en-
ployed to distribute the oil is by means
of 9 portable tank running on two
wheels, which are attached to the rear
OF an oiltank wagon. The small tank
receives its oil from the wagon and
discharges it through tubes on it's un.
der sides. These tubes are about six
inches apart and are operated by
lover.
The oil, it is said, "is run in fur.
rows made by little hoe, and is Gov
cred by other hoes following. This is
to prevent the oil from seeking level
in any low place and becoming un.
evenly distributed on the road. After
all the oil has been applied the .same
machine is used to incorporate the oil
and earth. Two horses are attached
to the apparatus, and by the means OF
numerous other friction teeth, and by
going over the road the rest of the day
for Che purpose of incorporating the
earth and oil, the road is made ready
for use. The oil used is heavy quail
ity of asphaltum oil, aud is applied
hot. The affinity of the earth for the
oil when both are hot is very great.
The quantity of oil required is be-
tween fifty and sixty barrels for each
mile OF road eighteen, feet wide, for
the first application, and after that
about twenty barrels mile. Three
applications are required yearly.
When the oil is thoroughly incorpor-
ated with the surface an elastic roof
or covering for the road is produced,
which prevents grinding, cutting or
the formation of ruts, aud completely
des troys all dust. If the road is prop.
erly graded and rounded IL is said to
shed water perfectly, and no mud Is
formed. 1t has been feared that road
oiling would prove disastrous to the
tires of rubber-tired vehicles, but
those who have tried it say that such
not the case.-Country Gentleman.
