"Passing away like mornings soft

"Passing away as a pleasant, sweet

a Western Equestrienne.

- Mrs. Minnie Austen. a typical wom-
an of the plains has recently been
giving exhibitions of equestrianism at
Portland, Ore, and has astonished
many, even among the experienced
plainsmen, by her daring feats. She
is an absolutely fearless horsewoman,
who delights in feats that seem haZ-
ardous and in risks that appear dan
gerous. The crowd of cowboys who
were performing at the carnival dur
ing the horse show were so conf
dent of Mrs. Austen's ability that they
were willing to back her to the eX-
tent of 800 to ride any four-footed
animal sent to the grounds. During
the week Mrs. Austen has been nightly
doing a tandem hurdle act that has
proved immensely popular with the
carnival visitors. With two spirited
horses going at The utmost speed

out of them, she went tearing around
the track, taking the three hurdles

Margaret Fuller.

1t is due to a woman'S effort that
tablet has been erected as a memorial
to Margaret Fuller, who was drowned
many years ago off the Isle OF Pines,
Long Island, and on this spot the tab
let to her has been placed. Margaret
Fuller's real influence among women
is only beginning to be understood.
Hundreds of women who today are
reaping some results of her movement
scarcely know of her existence, or if
they do it is merely as member of
the set of literary persons in Concord,
Mass, when Emerson, Alcott ana
those men were a unique coterie. AS
a matter of fact, Margaret Fuller was
far less associated with them than
seems to be thought. She did indeed
know them, as these men admired the
type of women for which she stood,
believing, as has since been demon
strated, that woman was capable Of
embracing more opportunities than
were then afforded her.
Margaret Fuller was in the best
sense OF the word broadminded, in
tellectual woman says writer in the
Home Magazine. The men of her
day considered her their mental equal,
and, what was equally to the point,
treated her as such. She lectured and
wrote, and her opinions were heard
with respect.
Her tragic death off the Long IS
land shore on her return to this coun-
try with her husband and child, having
married an Italian, is one of the
events that has until recently been
unmarked in any way. Her body was
never recovered, and with the passing
of time much that she did has been
forgotten.
1t is Mrs. Lille DeyereauX Blake,
who mas at last done something to
perpetuate her memory by raising
money for the tablet that was put
in place a few weeks ago. Although
she has long admired Margaret Fuller,
it was not until several years ago
that Mrs. Blake, who spends her sum-
mers on the Isle of Pines, found that
she was within a short distance of
the place where the former was
drowned. Mrs. Blake Immediately set
about having a memorial of some sort
erected there. With energy that has
remained unAagging she has interest
ed persons in the work, has held sales,
given teas. and resorted to other SINH
lar means TO raise money, with the
result that this season she found
there was enough, and with simple
ceremonies the tablet was unveiled.

Flowers are used on cold-weather

Flowers are used on cold-weather
hats.
Large white wings are much seen
On the new toques.
Pretty afternoon gowns are made Of
the gay silks and liberty satin foulard
now shown in floral designs.
Tucking promises to be used for
waist trimming on every sort of ma
terial that can possibly be tucked.
A new fancy in corsets is the use
of white velvet printed in colors with
floral designs. This is a step beyond
the silk and satin of other years.
The dog muff has made it's appear
ance in Paris. In the front is a deep
padded pocket, in which the wearers
tiny pet can be safely deposited.
Collecting scraps of lace to mount in
an album is said to be a fad at pres
ent among English women. Beneath
each piece of lace is written the
name and the date and place where 1t
was obtained.
Every now and again one sees Jet
combs. though they are not very uni
versally worn and there are pretty
things in jet brooches to be found.
These come in fancy designs, fieur-de-
lis, horseshoes, and in more conven-
tional patterns.
White Indian cashmere is utilized
for elaborate evening coats and one
notable example from a Partisan de-
signer is combined with black chantilly
lace. A broad putting of white chiffon
down the front is held in place by jet
motifs.
Very attractive is brooch, a long
spray of acorn leaves and fruit, the
of the acorns each single pink pearl
and the upper part, in which the pearls
are set of bronze gold, set with
small diamonds.
In bags of various kinds, those to
carry in the land, chatoiaine bags
with silver frames and card cases are
combined black and steel. Frequently
the foundation of the bag or case will
be of the jet beads and worked in
will be design of some sort in the
steel beads.
Beading plays an important part in
handkercriefs. Very dainty little
handkerchiefs have a line of beading
on the exact edge in lieu of q hem,
and inside this line of embroidery,
fine and delicate-anything heavy
would be out of keeping-a slender
vine with little more elaborate work
in the corners. In some of the hand
kerchiefs the beaded edge Is entirely
straight, and in Others it is slightly
undulated Perhaps the former is the
most attractive

New Shirt Waists.

The new shirt waists are nearly all
in light colors and in white, many
showing printed floral design and all
bearing lace in one way or another.
The large square lace trimmed collar
is still popular, the sailor knot be-
meath showing lace incrust, while the
tucked sleeves form puff at the
wrist. The new woolen muslin is
an excellent material for the pretty
new blouse, which is an essential
feature of milady's wardrobe, and
this comes in plain and printed, show
ing the most delicate combinations of
color. A pretty blouse in pale yellow
Tuscan silk had the finely tucked col
lar and sleeves of material, trimmed
with lace of the same shade in ap-
plique, while the tiny vest of finely
tucked white muslin was crossed with
narrow bands OF pale yellow velvet
fastened on the left with small
buckles.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

highest Attitudes Possible to Man.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the ascent
of the highest peaks on the face of the
earth, is the conviction that man can
not withstand the rarified air of these
attitudes. "Heroism shrinks from
such prolonged sufferings as those due
to lack of health" His own expert
ments and observations, however, give
us assurance that man will be able
slowly to accustom himself to the di-
minished barometric pressure of the
Himalayas. "If BIRDS" he says, fly
to the height of 10000 feet man ought
to be able to reach the same altitude
at slow rate of progress. s."-Pearson's

tethering her to post with long
rope. AT milking time he united the
COW and attempted to lead her home.
The COW is not easily led and Herman
tied one end of the rope about his
waist as precaution against her es-
cape. IL was necessary for Herman
to cross the Big Four tracks at Massa-
chusetts avenue to get home.
He had gone only short distance
when the cow became fr.ghten I'd at
an approaching train and started 10

pace set by the COW and was dragged
toward the tracks.
The COW crossed safely in front Of
the train, while Herman dangled at
the end of the rope on the other side
of the track. The engine-men did not
see the rope and made no effort to
stop. The engine struck the rope and
both Herman and the COW were
dragged and ierked violently before it
broke. Herman was struck by the
train. Three ribs were broken,
thumb was crushed and he was in

There is more Catarrh in this section of the

local remedies and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in

constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

How Two Country Tradesmen Protected
Themselves from Loss.

How Two Country Tradesmen Protected
Themselves from Loss.
During the sojourn of the delegates
to the convention of the Indiana
Bankers Association in this city last
week many interesting stories were
related. One group of financiers
fell to discussing the prosy subject
of debit and credit, but with the
stories that were told to illustrate
cartain ideas the subject lost much
of it's dullness.
"a friend of mine once ran across
a queer system of keeping books in
a little Southern town." said a bank
er. He was a travelling salesman
and his territory included Tennes'
see. Naturally he grew pretty well
acquainted with his customers, who
were for the most part keepers OF
general stores. Happening in such
an establishment one day he found
the proprietor in the rear of the room
poring intently over what seemed to
be his ledger My friend noticed that
the old gentleman would mutter saw
agely now and then and turning over
After this process had been repeated
several times my friend interrupted
him with Mr.. Hedges, what on earth
are you doing here?"
We'll. I'll tell you,' replied the old
man. This here Bill Jones is a
worthless scamp and he has left town
owing me S1.50. So l jest put it on

THAT reminds me of a story of
strange methods of keeping accounts

other financier. This was in little
Western town. The proprietor of a
store wanted to go on visit out in

ready to start he told his clerk, a
mere lad to kind of keep an eye on
things while he was absent. You

storekeeper. Just remember what

We'll, when the old fellow arrived
home that night he asked the boy
how he had made out during the day.

"Never mind about that said the
the proprietor. It'll be all right I'll
Just charge all of my book customers
with horse collar And he did put
down horse collar on every account

of it was that all of them paid ex-
