silk Made of Wood Pu1p

RemarkabIe 10 reIate, wood can be utilized for soft, flowing gowns. Wood pulp silk has long been staple indus try in the St.. Etienne district of France. By secret chemical process, the pulp is reduced to a sirupy condi- tion. It is then forced into tubes full of tiny holes, through which it emerges in the form of fine silk-like threads. These are speedily dried by being passed through hot atmosphere and are forthwith wound onto bobbins, ready to be woven into silk. The ap- pearance of this unique product is said to be so natural that even experts have mistaken it for the genuine article. It is. of course, infinitely cheaper.

ARTIST SANS ARMS.
Ronderfsl Work Done by Bartram lilies, an English Painter.
Earns Ills Living by Painting with His Teeth-TechniQae of His Work h Equal to That of Most of
 Hts Colleagues.

How strong the artistic instinct in . man must be to survive what would seem to be insuperable disadvantages is illustrated in the case of Bartram lilies, young painter of Bristol, England, who lost both his arms sev- eral years ago and now paints by holding the brush between his lips. Young lilies lost both arms when boy of eight years, and then he had already made beginning in art by arms was supposed, of course, to put an end to anything further in this line. But it didn't.
 When lilies recovered from the hor- rible injury he thought of nothing but drawing and how to resume it. There was only one way, and that seemed nearly impossible. 1t was by holding the brush in his mouth. 1nconceiva ble as it may appear to anyone approaching the manual dex- terity which the ordinary artist, or, rather, the artist who works by or dinary means, is compelled to exer- else. lilies acquired such control over the muscles of his mouth that in two years after he began to work in this way his work took prize at local exhibition.
 When he was 16 Mr. lilies exhib- ited a water color at the British Fine Arts academy which elicited much admiration, though the fact that the painter was without hands was not known by those who saw the picture. So far as his present work goes the techniol,e is in every way the canal of that of men who work with two hands,.
 In fact, Mir. lilies in no way ac- knowledges that he is handicapped by his physical misfortunes. He is wrapped up in h1s work and is bright, cheerful and happy-neither expect

The CHICAGO DERBY to
 be the Racing Event of the Year

N THEN the stakes for the pres w ent season of the Washington
 Park club, at Chicago, were opened in December last there were few even among the most sanguine of the clubs admirers that hoped fo: such a liberal response on the part of owners as was received. To be sure, these stakes, IT in number, were the richest that have been of ferd in the west since the world $ fair year, but the growth of racing had increased so materially, and was carried on in so many places at the same time, that it seemed almost i'm possible that such an entry test should be received. No one was more astonished, perhaps, than was Sec retary James Howard, when he came to total up the entries, and found

There was once a Woman who had Never Learned how to Swim. although she Went in Bathing every day in the Summer. She had a Friend who had Acquired this Art with Some Trouble, and was very Proud of her Proficiency in it.
 s.It is Absurd said this Friend, ito Live near the Water and not Swim. It makes you very Attractive to Good Swimmers if you can Go Out with them, and they do Not Feel that you are Drag on their Pleasures. What would you Do in Case you Fell off the Pier? Now, Watch me"'
 With these words she Diyed off into fhe Water and Swan about By Her self

LABOR DAY

Ready.
Directors of Education Accepted
the c. [. US Invitation.

The Board OF Education will take
part In the observance of Labor Day. An
invitation to participate in the Labor
day festivities was extended to them
by the Central Labor union and the
invitation read and accepted at Tues
day nights meeting.
Whether they will turn out as a
labor union has not yet been decided.
1t is doubtful If the O. l.. U. would
recognize a delegate from the Board
in the former body's deliberations.
1t was also decided at the meeting that
1t will be a little late to so in for the
prize for the best turnout, SO the
Boards appearance in the parade If
made at all will be somewhat somber,
although the smiling face Of Col. |. G..
Gibbons would do much to enliven
the occasion. What part the Board
will take In the Labor day observance
has not yet been determined.

was taken from the water. Mrs.
Tucking was not among them, but she
was notified, and went at once to
Parks morgue. The features Of her
husband were not disfgured, except
by discoloration, and she easily recog-
nized him.
Not long after the body was placed
in the morgue, DR.. A. X. Fouser was
called, and he held post mortem. He
found no marks of violence on the
body, or anything wrong organically to
indicate that death came IN manner
other than drowning.
Coroner e. o. Leberman held an In
quest over the body, and gave ver-
dict of accidental drowning"
Just how the accident occurred is
still matter Of theory. His friends
say that while Tucking would drink
occasionally he was never known to
indulge to excess. No one has yet ex-
pressed belief that Tucking fell into
the canal because he was intoxicated
beyond control of himself. One of his
employers, Mr.. August Blessman, of
the Klages Coal & Ice Co., said We'd
nesday to a Democrat reporter that
Tucking had been in the employ Of the
company for nearly 10 years, and was
SOBER industrious worker never
known to drink to excess.
The most generally accepted theory
Is that Tucking was unable, on account
of darkness, to locate the bridge, and
that he fell into the canal and could
not swim out. He was aged 81 years
first wife he had one child, but had
none by his second who was a widow,
with two children, when Tucking mar.
ried her two years ago. Mrs. Tucking
told Chief Durkin that she and her
husband got along well, and that he
had no trouble she knew of to induce
him to commit suicide. Several per-
sons who last saw Tucking were
called to the Police station to tell their
stories, but none contained anything
sensational.
Tucking was member of the Akron
Liedertafel, of the X. o. T. NJ. lodge,
and the Transfers Union. The fun
eral will be held Thursday afternoon
at 8 o'clock, from Parks chapel. Rev.
G. e. Keller will conduct the services,
and employees of the Klages Coal s.
Ice Co. will attend the funeral in a
body. Interment will be made In Glen
dale cemetery.
The deceased was also a member Of
the Plattdeutscher Verein, which will
turn out In body at the funeral, ac-
companied by the Eighth Regiments
band.
