Trees at Roadside.

w: II. Freeman, secretary of the
state forestry board, says that he will
include in his report a recommended
tion that the next legislature enact a
law encouraging land owners to plant
trees along the public roads.
He has already discussed the pro-
posed law with holdover senators, and
finds them generally favorable. 1t is
proposed, as i'm some other states, to
allow credit of so cents on a tree on
the road tax.
Some of the farmers express Oppo-
sition for the reason that shade trees
injure the crops several feet away, or
keep the roads from drying after
heavy rains or in the Springtime.
1.-The objection of injury to crops
should not count" said Mr.. Freeman,
sin view of the hot, dusty roads that
are travelled so much. Moreover,
shade trees, except the silver ieat ma
pie and a few others, do not injure
crops greatly. Corn is about the only
crop injured. Shade does not hurt
wheat or grass to any considerable ex-
tent. And as to roads being kept
from drying. that objection was good
in pioneer days when roads were mud.

The narrow escape that President
Roosevelt had from being instantly
killed by an electric car while riding

of the recGlessness that prevails in this

have averted the collision which came
so near killing the president of the

Auto Reduce the Price.

six or eight already owned within its

where it does not require small for
tune TO buy one, the auto will
come into much more general use.

combination.
The advance spring blouses shown
prove that grass and silk linens, from
the coarse, scratchy quality to the
dainty. veil-Iike and finely woven, are
to be again popular.
The newest are much trimmed, and
always have lace combined with them
in some way.
One of the most delicate quality has
box plaits from top to bottom outlined
i'm the heaviest possible Russian lace.
1t is odd how the tendency to unite
coarse and fine material continues to
increase.
At first ii was crepe de chine and
cloth, then chiffon and fur. tulle and
fur, and white lace and black velvet;
and now the rule, If any, seems to be
the coarsest trimming with goods of
finest quality, and vice vr~A.

Old-fashioned watered silk is to be

able materials are as expensive, if not
more So than those of silk.

NEW Nofek, FeD. 2l.-Ine season.
able fancy blouses one sees at after
noon teas, recitals, matinees, and at
evening musicales and benefits, are
even more beautiful than the earlier
models.
Some time ago i predicted the ad-
vent of the sheer, almost transparent,
hand-embroidered linen blouses worn
over silk slips, either white or delicate
ly colored. The latest of these are simp-
ly exquisite, and show to best advant-
age with a closely fitted, trailing black
velvet skirt.
Mrs. Lydig, formerly Mrs. w. Z. ID.
Stokes, Countess Festetics and dozens
of the Modishes affect these stunning
black velvet tailor-made gowns, with
which they wear exquisite bodices.
A woman who frequents Sherrys at
the luncheon hour, and who is most
artistic and original in the choice of
her gowns, has a novel blouse of
heavy white lace, over which delicate
and tiny pink roses are strewn.
These are made of thin silk with
yellow centres, and each is no larger
than a dime.
A few silver paiilettes are also WOW
en- into the fabric with good effect.
In cut, the bodice was plain and tight
fitting, but had a front and puffs above
the wrist of white tucked chiffon, silver
spangled.
From the full chiffon vest the lace
fell away in small revers edged with
rosebuds.
The latest material for these dressy
waists is Irish crochet, with batiste
medallions and chiffon and silk roses,
buds and vines appliqued upon it. 1t
seems like painting the lily to garnish
Irish crochet, especially with the mod
est batiste, but the result is good.
1t will doubtless be favored, because
ii is costly; a blouse of this sort costs
about a hundred dollars. French
knots and odd hemstitchings and inser-
tions on silk are quite the rage.
Yokes, blouses and even entire robes
are hltfdilE SoNtIeu Will lltSS ltulouS
French knots, while tuckings have TAX
en- on the most wonderful shapes.
A pale blue silk null has tucks all
over it, so tiny as to cause wonder how
anyone ever had the patience to do
them.
They run, too, in every direction, and
still the blouse fits beautifully.
This model has a collar of tucked
inch squares.
The yoke is of alternate lace and
tucked bits of the same size.
The fulness below is of the finely
plated NULL The tucks from the un-
der arm run diagonally to the front
waist line, and from the middle bust
up and down to a depth of perhaps
two inches, where they change abrupt
ly and become horizontal to the belt.
The sleeves are even more eccentric.
Blouses have never before shown such
laborate and careful Workmanship.
Some of those worked out in silver
gray are particularly effective.
So many women find gray becoming

COULD NOT DELIVER HER GOODS
Because the Rebels Were I'm Possession of
Aqua Dulce Port.

The government gunbOat Chuchulto,
which was sent from here with am
munition for General Morales BERT,
could not deliver her cargo because
the port of Aqua Dulce had been cap
tured by the revolutiOnists. Water
communication between the govern

government officer who was captured
by the revolutionists in January of
this year during previous battle at
Aqua Dulce has made his escape from
General Herrera's camp and reached
Panama.
He reports that many revolutionists
are deserving. partly because they are
forced to fight against members OF
their own party, as well as ON account
of the heavy losses the revolutionists
are said to have sustained every day
since the beginning OF this battle.
General Salazar, military governor
of Panama, told a representative Of
the Associated Press that if General
Herrera's forces were not defeated
within five days he would march with
all the forces he has in Panama to
attack the revolutionary leaders, rear
guard. General SalaZar has received
a telegram from the Colombian min
lister of war asking if reinfOrcementS
are needed and saying that if so he
will send them Immediately.

WILL BE of Special Interest to
Wisconsin People.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 2.-The estate
OF DR.. Charles Kendall Adams, who in
his will provides for the endowment
or the University of Wisconsin with
$150O00 in fellowships, is estimated
by one of the executors at only $780,
600. The endowment of the fellow
ships can be made in accordance with
the provisions of the will only when
the required amount has been accum-
ulated in interest on the $4,000 prin-
cipal.
The impression that DR.. Adams was
worth many hundred thousand dollars,
which was held generally by Madison
people, was erroneous. His property
consisted of the new house at Red
lands, valued at $4,000, and $4,000
in bonds and securities.
