MlTTENs FOR SUMMER WEAR,

MittenS, those picturesque substi-
tutes for gloves much affected by the
bellies Of by-gOne days, will be worn
by the reigning beauties during the
coming summer hours. The fashion
was revived in Paris last summer al
ter the Marie AntOinette fete at Petit
TrianOn. This year mittens will be
worn more generally, and the lace
shops in Paris are showing many new
designs in this cOquettIsh hand ap-
Parel in black, cream and white laces.
Nine. Rejane, the well-known French
actress, has been wearing a pair with
her summer gown OF embroidered ba-

That miLts will be introduced for
summer wear by Philadelphia matrons
and maIuens is no longer a surmise
but an actual fact. The shops display
them in a variety of textures in differ
ent meshes, in black and in white, ana
In several lengths ranging from the
wrist mitts to those that reach 10
within few inches of the shoulder.
Probably the most popular will be the

One made for a Vanderbilt is of Louis

about foot long by five inches in
width. Around the lower edge of the
bag there was an applique Of cOlth OF
gold Of the kind which Louis ri loved
so well. The remainder Of the bag
was jemmed, so that the jewels formed
an immense rose, with leaves and

is best not to tell of it.
Neat little handbags can be made az

family it can be attached to a little

The work of fastening on the clasp
should be done carefully to give a

Short STORY
Of the Day
EVIL DONE THAT
GOOD MIGHT COME,

GOOD MIGHT COME.
I'll tell you a story, dearie, since
you wish it, the story OF my first love.
1t was the 18th of April and my birth
day. l had been working with John.
The sun was pouring warm rays upon
us, thawing our hearts, for John had
wounded me and we had quarreled,
and we could almost see the buds eX-
pand, so rapidly were they opening.
The thrushes were singing over the
meadows, and myriads of insects,
awakened after the long winter, were
chirping merrily.
There's never such a sweet time as
after making up difference and John
chose to tell me that he loved me.
Il babe John ,adieu at the gate, not
with kiss, for the bright sun still
shonl upon US and all the neighbors
could see, but with a multitude of
kisses in my heart.
He was to go to the city the next
day to begin work. l saw mother look

What makes your cheek so red, my
daughter?" she asked.
It's the warm sun
And your eye so bright?"
The singing birds and the chirp-
ing insects
It'll not blame you for conceifing
the real cause" she said. with a sigh
that John Darr has been making love
to you, but I'm dreadfully sorry.
Why so, mother?" l asked, blush
ing to the roots of my hair.
1.-The young would act differently
could they be old. They must go
through poverty; they must be worn
out trying to make ends meet-for
what? A fancy. Mr.. Winfield came
to your father yesterday, and, like an
honorable man, asked for you He

money in the bank. With him you

talking about the price of land and the
crops and loans and mortgages. such
things as | did not understand or care
for. Often | saw him look wistfulIy
at me, but l was thinking OF John, who
had broken my heart by sending me
never a word. Year after year my
mother urged me to be the rich mans
wife, but five years passed before I be-
gan to think that since John had cast
me off l might please father and moth
er. One April day, when the sun shone
as it did on the day John left me with
such warmth in my heart, l told my
mother that l would be Mr.. Winfeld's
wife if he asked me.
He did ask me, and so kindly, so
thOughtfully, for he was older than /
he was thirty-fye-that when he put
his arm about my waist and drew me
to him l suffered myself to cry on his
ShOulder-for my lost love.
THE next day | was walking on the
road listening to the birds and the in
sects, just as | had done on that day
with John, when | saw a man, his
face covered with a red beard, coming
toward me.
He was well dressed and stepped
along with jaunty air. When he met
me, I saw him start. Then he asked
me about some recent changes in the
land, whose was that new barn. that
| dwelling.
Somehow l didn't like the free tone
in which he spoke, for ! could not
help thinking that he bore himself to-
ward me as city man would toward
country girl.
You don't remember me?" he
said.

quickness, which had now grown to
harshness.

told him all. His voice trembled when
he said:

wrong! | will do all l can to atone
for your mothers act. Don't blame
her too severely. She did it for your

GEO. II. MAXWELL, Chairman OF
the National Irrigation Association,
is opposed to the irrigation bill
now before Congress, and says it
must not pass. He says in its
present condition, if passed, that
land-grabbers, spectators and the
like would reap the benefit, and
that the home-seekers would be
left out in the cold. We are free
to admit that we are not posted as
to what condition the measure be-
fore Congress is in, and we believe
that not more than one person in
hundred in the State knows just
what the bill proposes to do. since
it has been amended and shuff1ed
about. If the facts are as repre-
scented by Mr.. Maxwell it would
certainly be better to have the bill
amended SO as it will specifically
state that the measure is for the
benefit of the home-seekers.

THE feeble attempts of some of
the pessimistic papers of this State
to belittle the Cold Storage Meat
Co, of Reno, are ridiculous. This
new industry in the State is one of
the greatest benefits that has been
accomplished for many years past.
= 1t will not only benefit Reno.s but
every agricultural section of the
State will feel, indirectly, the good
of such an establishment. 1t will
be of great benefit to every cattle
man, every wool-grower, hog-raiser
and butcher in Nevada. The
knockers against improvements
should be driven out of the State

SOME of our exchanges are find
ing fault because England is allow
ed to buy horses and mules in this
country for use in the South Afri-
can war. Deplorable as the war
may be it is not for this country to
interfere in the matter. If Eng
land did not secure animals here
she would get them elsewhere.
The purchase of stock in America
has brought many dollars to our
horse and mule raisers, and just
why we should refuse to sell to
England is a question the anti-ad-
ministration papers will have a
hard job to explain to those who
are being benefited by the pur-
chase of animals. The Beers need
horses as we'll as do the English,
and from all accounts they seem to
be helping themselves to the Eng
lish supply whenever necessary.

- CECIL RHODES, the great Eng
lish fnancier, died in Cape Town,
South Africa, Wednesday after
noon this week, and thus another
one of the great builders of for
tunes has passed away. The am
bition of this man was to found
an Empire in South Africa the
vastness of which was never be-
fore known. To do this he knew
it would take hundreds of millions
of money, and the money he pro-
ceeded to get at all hazards. The
deplorable war now being carried
on between the British and Beers
is due more to the Vaccinations
of Cecil Rhodes than anything
else. The beginning of the war
really came with the Jameson raid
and the greatest blunder Rhodes
ever made was to assist and sane

A CONTRAST
is correct?

OF the face of healthful woman with
] the face of one who is sick proves that
quite often a sad face is a sick face.
Many woman has credit for a sunny
disposition who would soon be sad of
face and irritable of temper if she had to
endure the womanly ills which many of
her sex have borne for years.
