FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN.

Children's jackets and closks are es-
pecislly smart this spring. Some OF the
prettiest examples just cover the bottom
Of the dress, and are mostly adorned
with ten or more rows Of stitching above
broad hem. Few are seen cut In one
piece, 40 the majority are constructed
starting In two and one-half inch broad
folds from rather deep yoke which
covers the shoulders, and from which
the sleeves also start. The popular
material for these garments 10 . light
weight weave of cloth In very pale
shaoes Of gray and brown, also ecru
and ivory-white.
The nstty little short jackets are an
other popular outdoor garment for chill
dren. The fronts are loose, while the
back fits almost closely. They arc fash
Toned In all the light cloths, also In dark
blue, green and bright scarlet. They
also have velvet or silk collars and cuffs,
and the darker shades are frightened up
by small, round gilt buttons on the
sleeves and pockets, and In clusters Of
three or four 1t intervals down the front.
There are two sorts Of sleeves used In
children's coats and jackets this year,
either close fitting, Of the same shape %
the frock sleeve, but somewhat wider
and adorned with rows Of stitching ct
the wrist, or Q looser sleeve forming
folds on the shoulders, and with deep
and very light run which ID generally Of
velvet or embroidery.
Little girls dresses are made very
simply this season. The waists blouse

HINTS ON DRESSING secoMINeL'

Tin y Wv 0NCSStNa oCSSWtNS6S
Everyone knows that vertical stripes
give length Of figure, and horizontal linei
width. Only tail and slim figures, there
fore, should wear horizontal trimming
on their skirts and bodices. These are
fundamental rules, which even movies
In the art Of dress knows, and yet how
often do we see them disregarded.
Another rule-slso frequently disre.
garded-is TO choose . style Of dress II
harmony with the person and features
OF the face. For instance, stout woman
should never dress like slim girl, or {
slim girl like stout one; q divergence
from this rule produces discord ant
offends the eye.
Then, again, different cut Of dress u
required for classic profile and r0unf
face. II is by the profile, however, tha
the face must be judged, II your dress b
chosen as an adjunct to your persona
appearance.
And what gives the profile It's peculiar
ity: The nose-yes, the nose. There
fore, II the line Of your nose Is long AND
pure, like Grecian statue, you SHOULD
dress with severe and noble simplicity. Il
on the contrary, your profile lines are ir
regular, giving you little impertinen
air, then your dress may be fanciful
with dash Of originality In II, not Il
say caprice.-McCall' Magazine.

A Joke On the Editor Of This Paper
Being Published ali Over the
World.

The following joke on the editor Of
this paper has been published ali over
the country. This clipping was re-
ceived to-day from the Bangor, Maine,
Press. which we will publish, as Mr.,
White Is out OF the city:
The scene was the Wabash depot at
Mexico, No., Monday, The charact-
ere, unless the JeffsTsoh City Press
lies about 1t, were 'Bob" White, editor
of the LEDGER, a telephone with
Bob" ct one end and the servant girl
at the White mansion at the other end
OF the line. 'Bobn was In a hurry, as
he usually is. He was about to take
the train for st. Joseph and called up
his residence to say good-by to Mrs.
White. SIS that you, my dear?" was
the query, as a 'hello" greeted Mr..
Whites ear. There was a confusion
of sound ct the other end that seemed
q litter, but Mr.. White was in too
much Of a hurry to notice that 1t did
not resemble Mrs. Whites style Of
talking through q telephone in the
least. "Well, my dear" he continued,
~ am called to st. Joseph suddenly
and have just time to catch the train.
Good-by, my dear; here's a kiss for
you" The response that came back
over the line was clear and forcible
enough to call Mr.. Whites attention
to the fact that he was talking to the
house girl and not Mrs. White.

allie many Thousands Of people suffering from
lingering diseases Of the nerves, brain, heart,
liver or stomach to obtain medicine tree OF charge
and to test the marvellous curative properties Of
DR.. Niles latest personal treatment.
Few physicians win permit every one OF their
patients to test their skf1l Ind treatment free Of

ndence in their remedies born Of wonderful sue
cess. What can DO fairer and more liberals
Many hundreds OF references from bishops
ministers, business men, farmers and their
wives sent free. DR.. Miles, new personal treat
meut has cured many hundreds Of cases pro-
nounced "inourahle." 1t Is q most remarkable
improvement on the usual treatment and Is emf
nently scientific.
The eminent divine and editor, Rev. VIM. NJ.

that from personal acquaintance, we know DR..
Miles to be q most skilful specialist, q man who
has spared neither labor nor money to keep him
self abreast Of the great advancement In medical
science. He Is withal a thorough and conscien-
tious gentleman, and his onices are constantly
thrcnged with people who come from all parts
Of the country to avail themselves Of his very
great skf1i."
Mr.. Julius Keister, Of $50 Michigan ave, Chi

A SALOON MIDDLE.
The RingO Bar Is Closed and Eas Been
in the Sherifs Hands-A
Sale Made.

Either W. L. Ksene had q tip as tc
whether the County Court would moi
grant him a new saloon license Of
whether he surmised it, lie not known,
At any rate, he did not make applica-
ton. II is stated that the County
Court was prepared to refuse him the
license il asked for. They took this
action on account of q pending in
dictmant for a violation OF the liquor
laws. Therefore, the license for the
above named bar expired on Sunday
of this week and the bar has been
closed.
Monday morning TT. Morris, of Co.
lumbia, gave a check for sf,7o0 for
the stock and fixtures. 1t Is not made
public who this check was made pay
able to. A little later in the day the
sheriff seized the place on an attach
ment gotten out by the A. NJ. Hellman
Whisky House Of st. Louis. 1t Is
stated that Keene owed the house for
whisky.
Opinion as to whether Mr. Morris
can secure a lIcene differs. II is stated
BY P. E. Locke, deputy county clerk,
that In bis opinion the County Court
cannot grant a license in vacation and
the next regular term Is three months
off.
Mr.. Morris is not q tax payer in the
county, so IL Is stated.
