predicted that these plans would be
changed, and that the children would
either be placed in some private and
exclusive school or that they would

was urged that the attendance of the
Roosevelt children in the public
schools would make them constantly
unprotected objects of cranks if not
actual kidnapers.
Boys Going to Public Schools.
President Roosevelt laughed at these
fears when, after the children had ar
rived and the question of their educa-
ton came up. Mrs. Roosevelt, how
ever, was not 50 certain. Finally it
was arranged that the boys should at
tend the public schools and that Ethel
should go to the Cathedral school in
Woodley lane. This is an institution
under the supervision of Bishop Sat
terlee of the Episcopal diocese. Ethel
will board at the school during the
week, but she will return to the White
House to spend Saturday and Sunday
with her parents. Kermit who is
sturdy little fellow with many of his
fathers traits, and who has an ample
supply of self-reliance now attends the
Preston school, and he gave it out
cold on the day that he was regis
tered there that if any of the other
boys tried to make fun of him because
he was the presidents son he would
make it hot for them. Archie goes daily
to the Force school. Here he will
have as classmates many of the lit
tie sons and daughtes of the members
of the diplomatic corps who reside in
the aristocratic neighborhood in which
the school is located.

Gradually the unfailing regularity of
the "cot-men" begins to hold their
pursuers even, and, when the excite
ment of the chase has to an extent
counteracted the effect of the poteen,
their increased strength of arm sends
them ahead. When the gap is seen to
be widening loud cheers come from the
pursued. Such as are not rowing
wave their arms and hats wildly and
shout derisively at the policemen. The

Used and Unused Rails.

The elevated structure of the Man
haitian road has long been sustaining
a weight of four tons to every sixty
feet of track more than is necessary.
The laying of new rails was begun
many months ago, but most of the
laying has never advanced further
than a mere stringing out. The new
rails weigh 100 pounds to the yarS
and each is 20 yards in length. What
puzzles the obseryant passenger from
day to day is the corrosion of the un-
used rails with scaly rust, whereas the
old rails on which trains are con-
stantly travelling remain bright. This
brightness is not confined to the head
of the rail alone, which friction might
be expected to keep polished, but ex-
tends over web, base and fsh-plate
The philosophy of the thing is simple
but passengers have not looked it up

Ribbon stockings.

Ribbon Stockings.
Ribbon stockings are one of the lat
est fads of Dame Fashion and clever
girls who like to keep in the forefront
of the dress procession. but who also
have to count the pennies carefully,
are making their own The founda-
ton for the ribbon trimmed stocking
is plain black stocking, silk or Isle.
Bands of ribbon half an inch wide
and three inches long, each end I'm
ished with little loop are fastened
upon the stockings in such a way that
they form gradually widen d figure.
At the ankle the ribbon bands are
side by side and almost touch, but at
the calf, where they terminate, with
a small buckle, they are two OF three
inches apart. This gives pretty
shape to the ankle and makes a fat
leg appear round. The most refined
of these ribbon-trimmed stockings are
of fine black Isle, trimmed with black
satin ribbon. The bands are fastened
to the stockings with very small safety
pins or with tiny jeweled pins. An
other stocking novelty is the black
enc trimmed with a very large ribbon
bow, which is fastened upon the in

TOURISTS WHO DON'T TOUR.

Travel Never Actually Undertaken.
Not long since a successful book of
travel in the far east was written by
a European who had never been near
er Asia than the eastern boundary of
Vienna. The work. according to a
London paper, was made possible by
an agency for bogus travellers which is
established in Paris and which has
clients all over Europe and some in
the United States. This agency, says
the London authority, is nOminally one
for doing the usual touring business,
but it actually exists for providing any
one who can pay the necessary fees
with complete evidence of their tray
els" posting them up on all the de-
tails of their journey" and giving
them a perfect description of all the
sights they saw; in fact, generally
turning them over to their friends,
travel-stained, and full of adventure.
And the pseudo-tourist can choose al
most any tour in the world, if he is
prepared to pay well for it.
He can go down into some cheap
farm house, send a fee to the agency,
and later he can turn up among his
friends with a wonderful knowledge of,
for instance, the Alps, file of receipt
ed hotel bills, his portmanteaus
smothered in foreign labels, and with
an armful of small trifies bought in
the little hamlets he didn't stay at or
pass through-Swiss clocks, models of
Swiss villages, even bits of rocks he
Clipped off, the higher mountain
peaks-and he will be able to tell you
all about the good and the bad hotels
at which he stopped along the route.
In short, he could thoroughly convince
you that he has actually taken the
tour.
To talk of having done the Alps is
the ambition of thousands of people
who have not the nerve for mountain
eering, or who cannot afford the ex-
pense, cheap as the tour is nowadays.
1t is common enough to find people
posing as travellers on the strength of
this little tour alone, and it is prob
able that a fair number of these gen.
tlefolk have never set eyes upon the
famous mountains. The alpenstock,
guide-ropes and views they show their
friends as evidence of their trips can
be produced at very moderate prices;
and the agency for bogus travellers has
well-written little books, from which
their clients can learn quite as much
as they could by actually taking the
tour.
Also, for a small additional fee, eli
ents are provided with notebooks and
the copy from which they can write in
the notebooks short daily accounts of
their doings during the tour. And all
this glory for about the fourth or fifth
of what the tour would actually cost
them!
BY no means is the Alps tour the
only thing demanded by the clients of
this unique agency. Tours to all sorts
of outlandish places are constantly be-
ing arranged for richer classes of bo-
gus globe-trotters.
You can "go through" Siberia by the
courtesy of the agency for about 80
guineas, without the slightest personal
Inconvenience or any loss of time.

AS We read of the bright reports of
the Grenada Fair, it makes us feel
that the people Of Yalobusha should
strain a point to establish a fair in
our county. We visited the thriving
and huStling city Of Grenada last Sat
urday, and along with their other
business matters they were speaking
in glowing terms of the success of the
Fair and its important relation to the
upbuilding of the county. They Sim
ply united and made a success of the
undertaking, just like other commune
ties ear do if they will put on their
thought, energy and determination
and come together as one man. 1t
comes from every source that the Gre
NADIA Fair was a greater success than
ever before. The Floral Parade eY-
ceeded anything before given in the
State, so say those who are capable
of judging. AS diversion alone from
the regular routine of business life,
the county Fair is more than a COM
pensation for the outlay of resource
and energy, leaving out the immense
impulse it gives to honest and honora-
