''The old Palais d'Industrie, which
hitherto was considered adequate, has
been torn down and splendid buildings

ours. Paris has utilized the water eff.

Children and Their Teeth.

An experienced dentist says that the
carelessness of parents frequently sac
rifces the personal charm of their
children to an extent wholly unneces-
sary. The first teeth should be pre-
served until actually pushed out by
the second, as the jaw contracts when
they are removed any considerable
length Of time before the second. The
first set should be brushed with the
softest possible brush and a good
paste, and when signs of decay APP
pear the child should be taken to a
competent dentist for advice and
treatment. In this way the child is
almost assured or sound, evenly grow
ing teeth when womanhood or man
hood is reached.

Khaki Costumes,

"Khaki" costumes are considered
smart and likewise extremely serv-
iceable. They will be used for travel
ing and all kinds of outing this spring
and summer. But to many persons
the material not only is trying, but
positively unbecoming. This may be
overcome without detracting from
the desirable feature of the khaki by
the addition of dash of red, just a
little of it, for example. in the collar,
cuffs and belt. For those who prefer
some other color than red, blue is
good, although the contrast is not SO
effective. Khaki suits are showing
much stitching in coarse white or
blue thread and are extremely useful
and suitable for outings. A brass
buttoned pocket here and there gives
an additional touch of utility and
militarism and is very spruce and
trig on the right sort of girl.-De.

The gentleman VINO figures as the

known among his closest men friends

to his children ever has been Speak

related here took place few days
before his family quilted the house

Married and in Trouble.

Mrs. Emma Collins johnson, a
pretty young Joplin woman, who was
married to Mr.. johnson recently, was
ordered by Judge Simons, of Fort
Scott, to appear in the district court
and explain why she married against
the orders of the court. She was
granted a divorce from William Col
Inns, and Immediately thereafter an
nOunced that she would be married
the next day to Mr.. johnson. Upon
reading the announcement Judge
Simons wired her instructions not to
marry, and she would have two hus-
bands if she did. In letter received
from her by her attorneys she said
she was simply testing; that she had
no intention of getting married. This
was accepted as fact until her new
husband became alarmed and sent an
attorney to try to fix the matter up
with the court. He told the court
they were married before they re-
ceived the telegram conveying the
order not to marry. The court would
listen to no compromise, but ordered
her to appear on June so, to which
date court has adjourned, and purge
herself. Judge Simons is indignant
and is inclined to deal severely with
her for working him for a divorce
that she might go to Missouri and
get married.

men of large personal means and re.
sources will 60 ahead aud build this

the proper encouragement In the
shape Of an adequate subsidy Of zinc

In spite Of the fact that the zinc de.
posits Of Marion county are very ex-
tensive, we must admit that they are
now worth nothing for want Of trans
portation facilities, aud 1 advocate
that our company donate 500 acres of

amount, and you arc therefore auth.
orized to make such donation and to
put it in proper legal shape for de-
livery to the right parties, when they
shall have earned it by the compile

I can but reiterate what I have writ

who have taken this matter up have

proceed with the immediate construc-
