to make 1t of the material or of nous

are of tucked material. The back

portion with scant fulness in back
and gathers at the waist line in front.
The fronts part slightly at the centre
and turn back to form pointed revers.
The sleeves can be in elbow or full

The smart, well cut walking skirt
that comfortably clears the ground
has become a necessity and makes
part of every wardrobe. This grace
ful. becoming model is the very latest
May Manton that has appeared and
includes many desirable features. The
back is cut with the new ripple that
falls in graceful folds from few
inches below the belt, and the founce
means both fare and freedom. The
original is made of homespun in
mixed shades of brown and tan, but
all checks, cheviots and skirting ma
terials are appropriate.
The skirt is cut in five cores the
side cores being narrow and is with
out fulness at the belt. The founce
is graduated in width and is scanned
to the lower edge. At the right side
is placed patch pocket with a turn

in the number of children at work in

Wholesale Perjury In Court.

At the recent meeting of the Iowa
Bar Association President Mccarthy
made some very startling charges as
to the prevalence of false testimony
in courts of the present day. He
said: "Where Is there lawyer who
has not seen guilty criminal pass
out of the court room acquitted and
free because of perjured testimony?
What one of us has not seen rights
of persons and of property sacrificed
and trampled under foot, presumably
under due forms of law, but really
and truly by the use of corrupt, false
and sometimes purchased testimony?
These are the things that beget dis
trust and disrespect for the courts and
for verdicts and for our boasted forms
of laws. These are the things that
produce anarchy, lynching, and invite
a just contempt for, as well as lack
of confidence in, the tribunals called
courts of justice"
One remedy, he thought, was to
make oaths more impressive. Oaths
should be administered solemnly by
the Judge, he said; and the judge
should take frequent occasions to I'M
press on witnesses the severity Of
punishment for perjury. He thought
oaths of officials to do their dnty
should be abolished, and that in no
case should they be allowed to be
taken lightly.
