the beast 10 which one solitary human
had been kind in the whole course
of its dog life, and it remembered and
loved her for it. The natives told her
no Kabyle dog within their memory
had previously made friends with a
human being.
Among the Arabs the camel is con-
sidered a cross grained, treacherous
creature. but Miss Lotz had a similar
experience with one of the cameIs she
used as a model in Egypt. Returning
after years absence. a camel from a
group grazing near a village came M

her and was her friend II was her
model OF a twelvemonth before. IL had

1t is strange power. this influence
Miss Lott has over animals, but at
heart it must be kindness. Rosa Bon

charmer. Miss Lott has made a spe-
eialty of camels upon their native
heath and her paintings OF these are
magnificent in power and vividness
She probably has no equal as a camel
painter.

The Rage For COTTON.

This is to be a cotton summer. Wool
and silk are pretty well out of it.
Never have so many pretty cotton
gowns been made and never before
has the wash gown been brought to
such a degree Of perfection. Just now
the rage seems to be for green and
old rose gowns. The green is trimmed
with white lace Irish preferred, and
the rose with the yellOwish variety.
With these a soft velvet girdle is a
necessity, and one of the nlustra-
tions shows an easy and smart way OF
making it. Take a piece of ribbon
about three inches wide and in the
middle of it stitch a V shaped pinch.
Fasten to it a bit of black silk feather
bone. This is for the center Of the
back Next point the two ends nicely
and cross them in the front, pulling the
belt down to give the long wasted ef-
feet. Sometimes a jeweled slide is in
troduced in the back to hide the line

WHAT THE HAIR TELLS.

Women who are the possessors of fine
black hair are emotional and of very
sensitive nerves. Coarse black hair is
said 10 denote great energy, but an uE-
enviable disposition. Women who have
brown hair make the best wives, for
they are almost invariably full of SEN
timent, impassioned. high strung. "

people are nearly always keen in BUSH

high tempered and witty. The woman
who has blond hair Is impulsive and
loving, but usually tickle. although an
agreeable companion.

The dust of the roads in summer
ruins a pretty costume even more than
the actual wear it receives. I think
women are beginning to realize this,
for certainly the number of long coats
is increasing. To be practical, these
garments should be unlined. or at least
lined only to the waist. They should
be Of light. serviceable material which
sheds the dust, and the trimming
should be Of simple nature so that
they will not look like evening cloaks.

Our Bonded Indebtedness.

The bonded Indebtedness OF Barber
county is now reduced to $2l3 900.
This cleans up all matured and matur.
ing bonds. interest. ETC., and embraces
everything open to compromise. The
present outstanding obligations are on
long time.
There was time when our obliga.
tlons were up at the half million mark
and over. The commissioners and others
who assisted in scaling down this in
oeotedness are entitled to the praise
and applause of the people of Barber
county.
