These people have the sense of mechan-
zeal harmony and adjustment develop
ed to the point of nicely. They are as
fine and keen as the arrow itself 9th
er signs give the mechanical talent as
well perhaps as Sagittarius does, but
in those it is not fined down to the ar
row point, which makes Sagittarians
thoroughly aesthetic. They have prob
ably the best taste as to dress and en-
vlronment- Cheap or shabby dress
gals their pride. When they make
break in etiquette or behavior, they
feel dreadfuIly, and when another does
the same they criticise severely. They
are sometimes extravagant in dress
and overgenerous in making gifts.
Sagittarius subjects are naturally so
gifted and have usually such good
physical constitution that they can &C
complish almost anything If they will
take things slowly They need to pin
upon the wall where they will con-
stantly see it the Bible text, He that
believeth shall not make haste" They
should likewise train themselves to
have careful regard for others feelings.
thought and speech sometimes causes
them to hurt cruelty.
There are hosts of unhappy mar
riages among persons born under this
sign. They will find their soulmates in
their own sign or in the kindred fire
sign of Aries. Fire and air also hit it
off well together Therefore Sagittarius
subjects may marry with fair prospect
of happiness Aquarius or Libra indi-
viduals
The governing planet of Sagittarius
subjects is Jupiter. which is a noble
and splendid planet to have.

TO DEVELOP THE NECK.

for developing the same. In three

your neckpieces be soft and pliable, not
too high or too tight. The first move
ment consists in allowing the head to
drop gently upon the breast as far for

raise the head and throw it as far back
as possible; then forward again, etc.

The queen of Holland is thoroughly
Dutch in every way, and therefore it is
not surprising that she is keen in the
discharge of housewifely duties. Once
IN three weeks the young queen makes
a tour of inspection of the royal kitch-
ems to see if the cupboards, the plates
and the saucepans are in good order
those beautifully FURNISHED copper pans
which are the delight of every Dutch
housewife, and a tarnish on which she
would regard almost as a stain on her
own reputation Economy and thrift
are marked characteristics of Queen

and it is said that often the queen
mother has been made quite angry by
her daughters determination to have a
dress renovated and turned when she
ought to have a new one.

So with all the fuss made over this
matter, the only conclusion to be ar
rived at is, dress according to your
means and your standing in business

And, above all and before all, do not

The Hon. Paris Gibson, United States
senator from Montana, passed Sunday in
town with Hon. Eli b. Bean. He was
accompanied by his son, Mr.. Theodore
Gibson. Senator Gibson is native OF
this town and graduated from Bowdoin
College in 1851, there being thirty mem
bers in the class. Shortly after finish
ing his studies he went West, there to
live ever since. He first went to
Minneapolis, and after remaining there
about twenty years went to Fort Benton,
Montana, which at that time was only a
trading post. From there he went to
Great Falls and founded that city which
now has population of 10000. The
town was established in 1888, and at that
time it was entirely unoccupied. James
j. Hill of the Great Northern K.
X. Co. was his partner. The last visit
Senator Gibson made to Maine was
thirty-five years ago. Very few of his
old friends are now living, and there is a
marked change in the place. The
pastures of his boyhood days are now
covered with thick forests. Senator
Gibson came east especially to be at the
fiftieth reunion of his class. Also to be
