The space we devote this week tell
ing of the dastardly attempt upon
the life of the President and the pub
LEGATION also of the court proceedings
cuts down the space somewhat which
is usually devoted to local news. The
account of the assault on the chief
magistrate of our land is of more i'm
portance than local happenings and
as it is well written we know that it
will be read with interest by many of
our subscribers, especially those who
do not have access to daily paper.
The shirt waist man and the net
waist girl go hand in hand to-day,

the end of it all? Oh what will the
shirtwaist man take next from the
things he has to wear? And what
will the net waist girl throw off from
her shoulders now so bare? The
shirt waist man and the netwaist girl
go rollocking down the way; have we
started trend that is going to end
ia the old fig leaf some day
