About two weeks ago Mr.. Gould,
who is inspector of p~ostofice sites and

the period Of ten years.
A Washington dispatch to the st.

postofice department has accepted
Mr.. Taubman's proposition, the
building to be ready for occupancy by
November 1. Mr.. Taubman has moi

SHIRT WAIST SUITS.
Pretty Costumes nat Hsv ReeoAs
quite Distinct from Any Other
style o. Dress.

Nothing in dress Is much more dam
" than the shirt waist in sheer linens,
and batistes and fine, thin silks 50
prettily embroidered and hemstitched'
says the New York Sun.
Shirt waists Of some sort have be-
rome n of the necessities Of dress,
and now tlsy have grown into shirt
waist suitz, making a distinctive COS
tune osdte apart from any other style
of dress. These are poisoning out
In some different material from uine
to time and you SCI them in foulard'
chambrays, madras, dimities, ta1eta
silks, mercerized cheviots and more
than all in linens.
This is a most useful costume, an
swering many purposes; for travelling,
outdoor sports and general morning
wear and apparently it has some sig
uifcance beyond usefulness inasmucA
as It shows the tendency toward en-
tire gowns instead Of the separate
waist which is entirely different IN ma
terial from the skirt.
However, it is simply another way
Of irving to Dust the separate waist.
Many plans have been tried before, but
with no results except to cause wom-
IN to put a higher value in its adyan-
tages.
In place Of the flannel waist worn
In cool mornings, there are some pref
ty dotted velveteen blouses. The ma
terial is very light weight and has a
sort of pressed finish which gives 1t
a gloss.
These waists must be made by men
IL you would have them smart, yet
women are not to be ignored in this
class of work as the men waist max
ers are not infallible, by any means.
Women with plenty Of money to
spend on clothes have a fad for col
lecting odd waists, and buy anything
and everything which strikes their
fancy just to crafty their desire for
pretty things. And this is no small
item Of expense, since the waists may
cost anywhere from five to seventy
five dollars for the dainty hand-em-
broidered cobwebby things brought
over from Paris. Much of the en-
broidery is done here, however, but
that does not lessen the price much, II
any at all.
The fad Of last season for embroi-
dered monograms on the left side Of
the bust is revived again, and a very
popular one it is among those who
care to have something individual
about their waists. Colored floss is
used on the white waists, and young
women sometimes have their mono
grams embroidered in black.
For some unaccountable reason they
affect black and white very much this
season in their costumes and hats as
we'll. Perhaps It is the only way they
can achieve any youthful distinction
in dress, as the older women have ap'
propriated all the colors to their use
But whatever may be the motive, II
Is a fact that black and white is con
~spicuous IN the young girls summer
outfits.

W~srrensburg Star: Missouri is wit
Messing an educational awakening.
Teaching is rapidly becoming q pro-
fession like that Of the law or the min
istry. This is sttested BY the fact that
the State Normal school st Warrens-
burg has had an enrolment during the
past year Of nearly 1900 students. This
notwithstanding the fact that the
entrance requirements have been
raised. OF these students there were
some two hundred graduates OF the
best high schools, many graduates OF
colleges and good private institutions,
high school principals, city and county
superintendent as well as many expe-
rienced teachers and former graduates
of the Normal. Teachers are begin
ming to realize the fact that the teacher,
like the lawyer and minister, needs
special training.
This statement IS further attested by
The fact that 400 teachers are now
enrolled in the summer school at War
rensburg, while in the branch schools
at Carthage, Rich Hill, Houston, and
Sparta, which are under the direction
Of the Normal faculty, there are 400
more. These branch schools teach for
the most part the elementary branches
while at the Normal these are not
given, but more advanced urs are
given in English, Latin, German,
mathematics, history, chemistry,
physics, agriculture, manual training,
drawing, kindergarten, etc. Never
before were such opportunities offered
to the teachers OF Missouri. The law
yer or physician wishing to keep up
with his profession by taking special
courses, is compelled for the time to
give up his practice and to pay large
fees for tuition. But teachers have the
opportunity Of making further profess
sional preparation during vacation
months and at little expense for fees
and books since these, at the Normal,
cost only $3.50 for the summer term.
Progressive teachers will make use Of
this opportunity. Intelligent school
boards will urge their teachers not TO
neglect such opportunities. More than
100 teachers attending the present
session have asked the faculty for OPP
p%ortunlty to study another term. In
recognition Of this demand, the board
of regents recently decided to add
another term to the summer school
which will begin July 81 and close
September-5.

THE BENEFIT OF TRUSTING.
One Of the Best Equipments for the
Teacher at Home or at
school.

It is an almost invariable rule that
young people, or those whose charac'
ters are forming, are helped by hav
ing confidence placed in their honor OF
honesty. This appeals to the best that
is in them, and it takes a very strong
temptation to induce them to do wrong
when they feel that some one they
love and respect is believing they will
do right-and that their failure will
surprise and hurt that person, says
American Queen.
This trust and confidence is one OF
the best equipments for the teacher,
either in Sunday school or day school
The average boy is an honest little fell
low, with a keen sense Of justice, and
the best and easiest way to teach and
help him is, from the beginning, to win
his respect and admiration by treating
him as a little man and putting him on
his honor. There are very few boys
who win not respond to this appeal &c
their higher nature; their lapses are
generally from pure mischief, not from
deliberate evil.

a Mulu Nccoc Law
The Kansas City Real Estate Ex-
change is preparing to ask the state
legislature to pass a law similar to the
Torrens law Of Massachusetts, which
has been closely copied by Illinois,
Minnesota and several other states.
A bill Of this kind was introduced
into the Missouri legislature two
years ago, but failed to get a place on
the calendar.
No moro important legislation has
ever been proposed. The simplifica-
tIon Of real estate titles is a reform
which appeals to every man who
makes a study OF the subject. It
recommends itself on the ground Of
economy. 1t saves time and annoy
ance. 1t increases the desirableness
of real estate as an investment. 1t
makes real estate as quickly available
for security as stocks or bonds. There
is absolutely no reason why a man
who wishes to transfer a piece Of real
property should be compelled to trace
his title back to Adam, to call to his
aid a small army Of trained specialists,
TO furnish an abstract sometimes
almost as large as the property itself,
and to pay in fees a sum out Of all
proportion to the cost Of transfer Of
any other kind of property. And al
this is accomplished at an enormous
expense OF time. That this is unnec.
essary is proven by the fact that the
Torrens system has been in use IL
several European countries for more
than a hundred years, and has been il

Can He Fool You againP

There is an old story regarding the
man who attempted to ride two
horses and got a hard fall; but it
looks as II the republican party is
about to attempt the performance.
Congress was in session for seven
months; there was a beastly republi-
can majority in both houses, and they
could have passed any legislation they
wanted, yet congress did nothing
worthy Of commentator, and adj
journed without hurting the feelings
of the trusts, and without doing a
thing for the relief of Cuba. During
all these months every democratic
member was clamoring for a chance
to help Cuba and to shackle the
gigantic trusts. President Roosevelt
intimated a time or two that he
would be pleased to have such meas
ures passed.
But the republican congress which
made so many promises before the
election thought the trusts were
doing well enough, and it was a good
idea to 'let well enough alone" A
man was :lassed as a boxer or traitor
or obstructionist If he showed any
sign OF dissatisfaction. 1 tyou growled
about the trusts you we're ''dghting
our army in the Philippines"
Well, congress adjourned, and thl:
was about the best thing it did in
seven long months. The president
threatened to reconvene the body tC

But he has not done so, and will moi

A Faithful Delegation.

A Faithful Delegation.
In reading the proceedings Of the
Springfield convention, a casual reader
might be betrayed into the idea that
the Lafayette county delegation was
not faithful to Mr.. Graves, as the vote
OF the delegation was sometimes scat
tered. This is exactly what it should
have done. AS soon as the delegation
found that Mr.. Graves could not be
nominated in the early stages Of the
proceedings, it was thought wise to
pay a few compliments to other eau.
dldates, and the vote was scattered.
This was done with the knowledge
and approval Of Mr.. Graves.
Our delegates were not only true.
and ready to rally at a moments
notice, but they had the promise Of
the solid support Of Greene county, t.
be delivered whenever called for. A
delegation that cannot be trusted tx
cast complimentary votes at sucf
times as their candidate cannot bt
chosen, is not the kind that does goot
work. Many a strong nan has heeI
defeated because his delegates madI
enemies by sticking to him at al
stages, instead Of complinenlinI
other candidates. Mr.. Graves has n
fault to find with his delegation.
