Women at LenoN are following in the
footsteps of such recognized leaders
as Mrs. Howard Gould, Maxine Elliott
and Isobel Haskins and discarding the
pompadour style in hair dressing.
No matter what these women may
think upon the subject; no matter
whether they liked the pompadour or
not, they see the direction of the
straws and have adopted other Golf
fures for the fall.
Even during my short sojourn in
New York between the closing of the
summer and the beginning of the fall
seasons / saw this change coming.
Sensible women have tired of the home

SOME M'KINLEY SAYINGS.

A noble manhood, nobiy consecrated
to man, never dies.
God puts no nation in supreme place
which will not do supreme duty.
Patriotism is above party and nation
al honor is dearer than any party
name.
The American home lies at the very
beginning and foundation of a pure
national life.
God will not long prosper that ma
ton which will not protect and defend
its weakest citizens.
Christian character is the founda-
ton upon which we must build if our
citizenship is to be lifted up and our in
stitutions are to endure.
improvement in every walk of life
is the outgrowth of thought and dis
cussion and ambition. We do better
as we are better ourselves.
elf-government politically can be
successful only if it be accompanied by
self-government personality; there
must be government somewhere.
The American home where honesty,
sobriety and truth preside, and SIM
pie, everyday virtue without pomp
and ostentation is practiced, is the
nursery of all true Quotations.
The want of the time is manly men,
men of character, culture and courage,
of faith and sincerity; the exalted
manhood which FORCES it's way to the
front by the force of it's own merits.
1t is the duty of each of Us, by word
and act, in so far as it can be done, to
improve the present condition. But,
above all, we must not disparage our
government. We must uphold it and
uphold it at all times and in all circum-
stances.
The to-morrows are too full to be
crowded with the yesterdays. We
must move on and forward. We must
learn that every day is new day, with
its own distinctive and commanding
duties, and cannot atone for the yes
terdays unimproved.

Che Very Good Reason for the
Long, Straight Burrows and
Great Fields That Are Feature
of Western Canada Farms. 70 ~
and a love of travel

CURIOSITY and love of travel
combined caused me to take an
extensive trip through the ag-
ricultural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, and while
there I was given the best of opportu-
mites of studying and judging for my
self of the conditions that exist in that
extensive section of our continent.
After [ had travelled over few mil
lion acres of Western Canada, and
watched and studied what at first
seemed to me an eXtravagant waste OF
land on the part of the farmers, be-
came better acquainted with cond1-
tions and the very good reasons for
this seeming wastage.
had been used to the farming oper-
ations of the more thickly populated
States, where to make farming pay it
was necessary to cultivate practically
every foot of ground; where it was the
rule rather than the exception to go
to the length of blasting out, if neces-
sary, heavily rooted trees or large
powders; where much of the farm
land was secured by clearing it of TIM
Der and stones, which had been accom-
plished only after years of toll and
privation on the part of the first set
tiers. There travelled with me over
these millions of acres of Canadian soil
gentleman who had been reared upon
just this sort of farm in Michigan,
and, as he expressed it, "land was SO
scarce and so valuable because of its
scarcity that we had to cultivate even
the corners of the rail fences"
But in my journey through the agri-
cultural section of Western Canada,
ranging from Winnipeg on the east to
the Rocky Mountains on the west, and
from the international boundary on
the south to the Saskatchewan river
and beyond on the north, I saw moth
ing that savored of our method of
''fence corner farming" and in time
1 learned the reason for the little I'M
cultivated tracts.
Time, rather than land, is the valu
able commodity in Western Canada. In
a country where the soil is sufficiently

CTYLES at LenoX presage another
y blouse season, and to judge from
the first models that have made
their appearance here at the first of
the series of informal entertainments
of the reception order the season will
be an unusually beautiful one in this
connection. The blouses I have seen
so far show decided improvement in
the style of this sort Of garment, and it
looks very much as though the fair
sex were, determined to give the men
who have assayed feminine apparel in
the form of the more distinctive species
of shirt waists something to think
about. This, to me, is as it should be.
For the past three or four seasons we
have industriously attempted to ape
masculine man in the making of our
garments, and now that we are at
tempting to once more return to our
own it would be quite to the liking OF
womankind to go to such lengths that
it would be impossible for the feminine
man to follow US. Shirt waists for men
are impossible in winter, and
it is scarcely possible that they will
attempt to reproduce for their use the
elaborate garments of this kind that
mark the opening of the fall season,
though I did see men wearing shirt
waists at Newport during the past
summer that rivaled in gorgeousness
anything the fair summer girl at
tempted But let them attempt the
separate waist of this fall-ard fail.
For morning wear the flannel waists
with fancy effects and Persian designs
are decidedly beautiful. Still more
stylish effects, intended for matinee
and similar afternoon functions in the
city, or for afternoon receptions and
teas in the country, are of peau de sole
and fancy silks, trimmed with velvet
and laces.
Of these new biouses the sleeves are
one of the main features, and most of
them have ruffles, or some sort of
putting either at the elbow or wrist,
put on doubel or single.
One of these dainty afternoon
blouses, worn by New York belle who
is now entering her second season, is
OF peau de sole. 1t is an effective af-
fair, and shows great amount of hand
work upon it. In color it is black. The
vest is formed of wee tucks, all made
by hand, and at each side the blouse
is finely shirred and slightly full,
caught in a deep pointed girdle. A

only the wholesale methods that pay
well in Western Canada. I saw men
who owned only the $50 acres of land
the government had given them as a
homestead who claimed to be making
better livings for themselves and their
families and saving more money than
they had ever been able to do in the
States on the same amount of land.
Practically every one of these compare
lively small farmers whom met as
sured me that it was their ambition to
purchase more land as rapidly as they
could accumulate the means with
which to buy. They fully realized that
they could not get too much of what
they knew was a good thing. There
is vast amount Of difference in buy
ing productive land at So to SIS an
acre and at soto $40 an acre.
The straight burrows and the long
ones are possible in Western Canada,

cations made during the past summer,

the shoulder, and extends to point to
the waist line in front, this forming

sleeves are shirred at the top, then a

the Nozaleda, the direction taken by
the fugitive, fast as her coachman
could whip his ponies, the original
purpose of her call abandoned.
AS in duty bound, both Mrs. Brent
and DR.. Frank had told Sandy of this
odd affair. Mrs. Brent described the
stranger as tall, slender, sallow, with
big cavernous dark eyes that had a
wild look to them, and a scraggly,
fuzzy beard all over his face, as
though he hadn't shaved for long
weeks. His hands-of course, she had
particularly noticed his hands; what
woman doesn't notice such things?-
were slim and white. He had the
look of man who had been long in
hospital; was probably recently
discharged patient, perhaps one of
the many men just now getting their
home orders from Washington.
Somebody who served under your
father, perhaps" said Mrs. Brent,
soothingly to Marion, land thought
he ought to see you.'
Somebody who had not been SOL
y.
had neither the look nor the manner
of one" And Sandy marveled a bit
and decided to be on guard.
"Maidie," he had said that after
noon, before riding away, when you
get out next week we must take up
pistol practice again. You beat me
at Leavenworth, but you can't do it
now. Got your -anywhere?-
the one Dad gave you?" And Dad
or Daddy in the Ray household was
the "lovingest' of titles.
Maidie turned a languid head on
her pillow. ''In the upper drawer
of the cabinet in my room, I think"
said she. 81 remember Mrs. Brent's
examining it."
Sandy went in search, and present
ly returned with the prize, a short,
big-barreled, powerful little weapon
of the bulldog type, sending a bullet
like that of a Derringer, hot and
hard, warranted to shock and stop
an OK at ten yards but miss a barn at
over twenty; woman's weapon for
defense of her life, not target pis-
toll, and Sandy twirled the shining
cylinder approvingly. 1t was a
cleaning toy, with its ivory stock
and nickeled steel.
Every chamber crammed," said
Sandy, land sure to knock spots out
of anything from a mad dog to an
elephant, provided it hits. Best keep
it by you at night, Maidie. These ma
tiyes are marvellous speak-thieves,

A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN.

Benton, H., Sept. 30th.-Much COM
ment has been caused by the action of
DR.. R. Fl. Dunaway, a physician here,
who for over year past has been rec
omnending Dodd's Kidney Pills to
those of his patients who suffered from
rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes or other Kidney Troubles.
DR.. Dunaway also published an open
letter last May stating positively that
he himself had been cured of Diabetes
by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after
he had concluded he was going to die.
He is well man to-day, and says he
feels it his duty to do as he has done
and is doing because Dodd's Kidney
Pills saved his, life.

dazzling for awhile.
Near Spring Hill there was heavy
wind storm also which blew down the
houses of three colored families.
Isham Edmunds' house was COM
pletely destroyed and he himself was
badly hurt.
Bill Davis house was badly damaged,
one end being blown off.
Whit Anthony's dwelling was blown
down and all his out no uses.
The storm was heavy on the river,
but at this writing there has been no
report OF serious damage.
Tuesday at O'Clock wind and
rain storm broke over the town the like
of which has not been seen here per-
haps in dozen years. There was con-
siderable hail, but thus far no serious
damage reported. The rain fell In
torrents for about thirty minutes-al-
most a cloud burst-and the town il,

SCOTLAND NECK, N. G.

Dear Sir Truth will prevail many
people doubt the statements made IN
behalf of L. & NJ. Paint, but when they
see how it covers and wears, they are
prevailed upon to buy it, and about ten
years aFterward, come bsck for more.
The old paint is still in good condition !;
bat they want to change the colors on
the house. Thin paints are not in IA
yor because they are 81 linseed oil,
and nobody wants to pay paint price
for lot of linseed oil. White Lead
always chalks and admits moisture to
the wood. L. & NJ. Paint is non-chalk-
able, and being semi-paste requires the
addition of large quantity of linseed
oil, which reduces its actual cost to the
minimum.
