some women tell me they pay more
Tor the trimmings of their dresses than
Tor the dresses themselves. Then when
we adopt gown we will stick TO that
style and will stop the foolish prac-
tee OF throwing away good clothes be-
cause they happen to be little out of
fashion.
In 1act, we propose to make our
plain, simple gowns fashionable. We
are forming league and will have
badges something similar to those worn
by the w. c. I. U. We will let people
know that we are not bound down by
the conventionalities that now Cypress
the human race. Membership in the
league will be free, although each
member will have to buy her own
badge.
when first made my plans public
told how to make nice, pretty, serv.
iceable gown for $1.25. That was of
dimity, and find that it is possible to
make quite handsome dress for even
less. think that l will be able to get
up a gown that won't cost more than
60 cents, and certainly not more than
70 cents, and will be nice enough for
anyone to wear.
There would be many more happy
marriages If men weren't afraid they
couldn't afford the expense of dress
Ing their wives as extensively as they
are required to do nowadays. Recent
ly l have been interviewing lot of
eligible young bachelors on the subject.
The men l talked to make good sal
aries, from SIS to $2S and even $50
week, but even they don't feel able
to afford the expensive dresses that
they know their prospective brides
have been accustomed to.
Many women, too are in sympathy
with my plan, and have received
many letters of encouragement They
are coming to see the folly of spend
ing all the money they can rake and
scrape together for something that does
them no practical good In other words,
they are realizing the foolishness OF
trying to put up $4,000 front on a
$1,000 income. I'm certain that If they
could once be rid of the worry to
which they subject themselves year in
and year out through this same folly
they would never return to it,"

To convert man physically into

know, no difficult task. Long dis

Soldiers, again, afford instances.
During the last army maneuvers of

prodigious number of miles they
were COMMANDED to halt and fire,

DARING AMERICANS FATE.

The Francais contains the follow
ing story of a daring American tour
ist in the French metropolis: "Vic-
tor Evandale, an American about
forty years of age, declared at a
cafe table that he had lived for ten
years in the widest regions of west
ern United States and had never
carried a weapon and was never
afraid. Several Frenehmen who
were present told him that Paris was
more dangerous. They asserted that
he could not go from Grenelle to
Montrogue, for example, after 10
o'clock at night without being killed
unless he wore laborers' clothes.
Evandale left the cafe after time
without reverting to the conversa-
ton about dangerous localities.
Next morning his companions of
the night before were Mortified to
read of the discovery of Evandale's
body in the glacis of the fortifca-
tions near the Maison Blanche. 1t
is supposed he must have actually
attempted to walk from Grenelle to
Montrogue Immediately after leav-
ing his friends. Evidently he was
attacked from behind. Tight around
his neck was found thin leather
thong which had been used to stran-
gle him. His pockets were rided
and ais shoes and coat removed"

brlviny-a Bargain With Washington
Street Car Conductor.


Every time / see large assem-
blage of people in large city, such
as the Grand Army encampment
at Washington" said an old Wash
ingtonian the other day, ct recalls
to my mind little incident which
took place in front of the Post
building some years ago. 1t was
during the Christian Endeavor con-
vention, and the city, of course,
was crowded. There was large
contingent of folks from the coun-
try, the real plain people, who form
the bulwark of the nation
"All wanted to see the sights,
quite naturally, and some of them
were trying to get through on a
very small margin financially and
besides probably had been warned
to look out for the man with the
golden brick. A party of six, both
men and women, came out of the
Post building one afternoon, and a
tall, rawboned old man with a pa
triarchal beard rushed out across
the plaza and hailed a passing Four
teenth street car.
"'Say, mister he cried, brandish-
ing his weather beaten umbrella at
the driver, what II you take us up
to Mount Pleasant for?'
"'How many are there Of youY
Six came the answer.
"'Well, I'll take you all up for 5
cents apiece said the driver, smil-
ing benevolently at the bucolic
group.
"1'll go you,' responded the
countryman, and with the triumph
ant air of woman who has Just
made bargain counter look like
three lead dimes he shouted back to
his party: He'll take us up for 5
cents apiece. Come on And they
all scrambled in among the amused
passengers.
'1t's dollars to doughnuts that
those folks who were running up
against the wiles of city life never
learned that the bargain they struck
cost them 5 cents more than six
tickets would have filched out of
their exchequer." - Washington

r. IIoff in the course of his speech
accepting the presidency of the asso-

lady was passing through the wards
of an overcrowded military hospital
when she suddenly encountered two
men saving and hammering on
some boards. She looked at them
in some surprise and wonderingly
asked, What are you doing there,
my men% They looked up at her,
and one of them said: 'What are we
doing? Why, we are making a cof-
fin; that's what we are doing "A
coilin?' she asked. For whom are
you making a coflin? For that
fellow over there in that bed. Don't
you see him?' The lady looked in
the direction indicated and saw IA
man apparently in good condition
and watching the operation with
great interest. why, that man is
not dead, and, indeed, he does not
look as if he were going to die.

No. the men said, we can't post

Hint to Coal Consumers.

A Swedish professor, Svend Ar
rhenius, has evolved a new theory
of the extinction of the human race
He holds that the combustion OF
coal by civilized man is gradually
warming the atmosphere so that in
the course Of a few cycles of 10000
years the earth will be baked in d
temperature close to the boiling
point. He bases his theory on the
accumulation of carbonic acid in the
atmosphere, which acts as a glass in
concentrating and refracting the
heat of the sun.

IN DARKEST IRELAND.
Mr.. Hugh SutherIand's Master
W Presentation Of the Irish
Cause.

The North American is pub
fishing a series of letters by
Hugh Sutherland on conditions
social, industrial and political as
they are in Ireland. The first ar
ticle was printed Decem ber 8,
aud was followed by others
which, for graphic description
and mastery presentation of
facts, have no parallel in recent
newspaper writing. They will
continue until the subject is fully
exploited. Mr.. Sutherland is fa-
miliar to newspaper readers. AS
Commissioner for The North
American to the Boer Repu bic
in the concluding days of Kru-
gers Presidency, as a staff cor
respondent for the same paper
in the mining districts of Penn
sylvania, his work attracted wi
'dest popular interest as well as
the closest consideration of the
students of economics, political
and otherwise. Mr.. Sutherland
is conservative and of the widest
intelligence. His articles are of
unique interest, as they are char.
acterized by truth. Preiudices,
either for or against master
ridden race, does not enter into
the work. SO far as one of blood
and flesh may do so, Mr.. Suther-
land has divested himself of hu-
man sympathy and gives the
plain cold facts of the situation.
Ireland's wrongs, her real con.
stitutional injuries and her op-
pressd state have not been told of
late. Government espionage, the
certainty of a term in Jail, social
and business boycott operate as
a press censorship in Great Brit
ain as thorough, if less direct, as
in autocratic Russia. Newspa-
pers dare not print, correspond
ents dare not tell the story of Ire
lands woes. Public speech is a
felony, the printing of Nation
alist newspaper in Ireland a
crime without defense.
In order that the truth might
be known, therefore, The North
American commissioned Mr..
Sutherland as chief of an expedi.
ton into Darkest Ireland. For
weeks the searchers for truth
traversed the country. They have
touched every side of every ques.
ton; talked politics with the
peasant in his cabin, discussed
land tenures with the English
owner in London.
They have got at the heart Of
one of the greatest political revo-
lutions the world has experienc-
ed, one that is taking place with
out the world being aware of it.
Fortunately for contemporane-
Gus history, there is Mr.. Suther-
land to write and The North
American to print the story.
