For many years Grayson county
has been working her county con-
victs on the county road, and half
the fees and costs charged on such
convictions as were sent to the
county road were paid the officers
by the county, until some months
ago County Judge Woods stopped
such payment, on the ground that
it was not legal. The legislature
evidently thought it a good law,
for a special law covering the
ground was passed last Tuesday,
and under its provisions hereafter
all these eases will be handled as

In nothing do the styles change so
often as in neck-wear When one ex-
amines the piles and piles of dainty
things shown in every dry goods store
on the avenue for the dressing OF the
neck. it seems almost impossible to get
out of the style, but they are constantly
cha nging. and it takes vast amount
OF study to keep right up to the mark
The sensible woman selects what IS
becoming, comfortable and pretty and
lets ii so at that. Many OF the dainty
conceitS shown in the cases were never
planned for real wear. for they are too
periShab BILE and uncomfortable, and a
collar cannot be pretty if it is uncom-
able, for it is sure to make one self
conscious and red in the face.
There are quantities of the prettiest
collars ina ginable composed of silk and
velvet and chiffon. Many are studded
with mock jewels, others are clasped
with gold buckles and some have velvet
tabs with dreadful spikes or other orn-
amentS equally as bad, dangling from
them. There is scarcely anything which
adds so much to gown as the collar. so
extra care should be taken in the Sele4-
ton of it. Simple collars are usually
prettier and more becoming
THE ALL POPULAR BOA
Never has there been such a demand
for fluffy neckwear as there is this
season and of course this creates de-
mand for the chiffon boa. There are all
kinds and conditions OF them shown in
the Topeka stores from the very cheap
to the most expensive ones; some are
shown in black and white but the all
black ones are most in demand but
just so long as they are long and fluffy
they will do. Most people buy the ready
made ones but the woman who is clever
with her needle and has a fair amount
OF taste can make pretty ones at half
the expense. The ma terials are all kept
IN such form that they are really COM
paratively simple to make. There is
really much more warmth in the chif-
fon boas than one would imagine, but
when winter really comes they will
doubtless be laid aside for the warmer
ones OF fur.

The Days Of the week.
GLOBE READER.

The period Of time known by all Chris
tian nations as the week, consists Of seven
days for which we have Biblical authority
Among the Chinese and Thibetans, how.
ever, the week consists of only FIVE days
II is said that the Greeks and Romans had
no such division Of time before the intro
duction of Christianity. Aside from the
religious significance Of the seventh day for
rest, il has been fouud a most convenient
division of the lunar mouth. During the
French Revolution the observance Of SUN
day was abolished. and the week was made
ten days IN length. IL was found however,
that a rest day oftener was absolutely essen
tial TO the physical welfare Of the people,
and It was found necessary to return to the
old method Of counting the week as seven
days.
Il is usually stated that the days Of the
week are named after the seven planets of
the Egyptian astronomers. Thus Sunday
IS the sun day Monday the moons day
Tuesday is called by Saxon people from
Tiw, deity who corresponded to Mars in
the Roman mythology. Wednesday comes
from Wooden who was the Saxon equiva-
lent of Mercury Thursday from Thor, who
