There is greater need this year of seY- eral hats than there has been for sever al summers. Any woman in her senses wants a lot of hats, but this year she wont get on so nicely without them as usual A useful sort to tide her over will be a straw in big, loose braid, and in dull finish black, yellow or Manila color. Let it have rather high, slim crown, and a brim irregular and fiaring In front Trim with slashing bow of black velvet made of the ends of wide flat velvet collar-scarf about the hat Such a hat "goes with anything and is suitable for almost any occasion. A sailor of rough straw with a rather big crown may be trimmed similarly. The bow must be very rakish and broad rather than high, It must seem to be Just made,' and made rather to keep the scarf from falling off the hat than in itself to trim the hat. There is a fancy for trimming a hat with several Scarfs one over the other, each tied sep arately. The result is a flashing com- mingling of donkey ears. Hats of taf- feta and of pleated chiffon are trimmed with stray scarfs in the same way to present very striking combination of severity and elaborateness. That is combination which makes the hat suit able for varied uses.

The Springfield Republican points out that it is curious that during all the controversy over the right of the Boers of the Transvaal to make their own laws regarding naturalization no one has recalled the fact that in 179S the United States congress raised the period of residence necessary for natur- alization in this country from five to fourteen years, where it was kept by law for four years. At that time the republic was not in the least threatened with being inundated by aliens. Even in the sos, when the know-notbings, who for time acquired great political power, proposed to raise the period of necessary residence to twenty-one years, the United States was not in the remotest danger of having it's native population sWamped by foreigners.

THE NAME OF OLD GLORY.

Inc following new poem by James
Whitcomb Riley was read by the au-
thor at the Iron Brigade banquet of
the G. "A. Il. encampment in Chicago:
Old Glory! say who,
BY the ships and the crew
And the long, blended ranks of the gray and
the blue
Who gave YOU, Old Glory, the name that
you bear
With such pride everywhere
AS you cast yourself free through the rap
turouS air
And leap out full length, as we're wanting
you to?
Who gave you that name, with the ring
of the same
And the honor and fame so becoming to
you?
Your stripes stroked in ripples of white and
of red,
With your stars at their glittering best
overhead
BY day or by night
Their delightfulest light
Laughing down from their little square
heaven of blue:
Who gave YOU the name of Old Glory?-say
who gave you the name of Old Glory?
The old banner lifted and faltering then
In vague lisps and whispers fell silent
again.
Old Glory. speak out. We are asking about
How you happened to favor" name. SO
to say,
That sounds SO familiar and careless and
gay
AS We cheer it and shout In our wild, breezy
way
We. the crowd, every man of us, calling
you that
We, Tom. Dick and Harry, each one swing
ing his hat
And hurrahing "Old Glory!" like you were
our kin,
When Lord! we all know we're as common
as sin!
And yet it just seems like you humor us all
And watt us your thanks as we hail YOU and
fall
Into line with you over us. waving US on
Where our gloritied, sanctiiicd betters have
gone
And this is the reason we're wanting to
know
(And were wanting it so-where our own
fathers went we are willing to go),
Who gave you the name OF Old Glory-oh,
ho!-
Who gave YOU the name of Old Glory?
The old flag unfurled with billowy thrill
For an instant then wistfully sighed and
was still.
Old Glory, the story we're wanting TO hear
Is what the plain facts OF your christening
were
For your name, just to hearit,
| Repeat it and cheer it, s a tang to the spirit
AS salt as Il tear
And seeing you fly. and the boys march,
ing by.
There's u shout in the throat and blur in
the eye
And an aching to live for you always, or
die,
If, dying, we still keep you waving on high.
And SO, by our love
For YOU, floating above.
And the stars of all wars and the SORROWS
thereof,
Who gave you the name of Old Glory, and
why
Are we thrilled at the name of Old Glory?
Then the old banner leaped like sail in
the blast,
And 1luttered an audible answer at last.
And it spakc, with shake of the voice, and
it said:
"By the driven-snow white and the living
blood red
OF my bars and their heaven of stars over
head
By the symbol conjoined of them all. sky

AS 1 float from the steeple or flap at the
mast
Or droop DER tho sod where the long
grasses nod,
My name is as old as the glory of God.
So came by the name OF Old Glory"

jury into the death of Bessie Salter,
a 16-year-old girl of Leonard, ILL.,,
who died in Mrs. Wright's lying-in
hospital Friday night. A warrant
was issued for Mrs. Wright's arrest.
A number of deputies gathered upon
the street, accompanied by Constable
Nilstead. Mrs. Wright barred the door,
and in forcing an entrance the con-
stable encountered unexpected oppo-
sition. They broke the outer door
open and entered the darkened rooms.
Michael Ryan felt his way across the
first room and was about to enter the
door of the inner apartment, when q
shot rang out, and he fell dead.
About three o'clock the family of Mi
chael Ryan arrived. The dead man had
been carried to the bushes near the
house where he met his death. 4 mob
of probably $50 people had gathered.
Most of them were armed. The scenes
of grief which followed the arrival of
Ryan's wife and children fired the
crowd with frenzy. They seized dozens
of bundles of straw, saturated them
with petroleum, piled them against the
front and sides of the so-called hospital
and applied the torch. In Il moment
the place was mass of flames.
The mob then dispersed. 1t had
been reported that there were three
women in the house besides Mrs.
Wright, but no signs of them have
been found. The house was destroyed
with it's contents.
