BEING A GOOD FELLOW

Any sensible young man ought
to know that he can't be mp late
nights abusing his stomach aud be
in full possession Of his faculties
for business the next day. And he
ought to know, also, that man
must be clear headed aud in full
possession of his faculties to hold
his own in the keen competition of
life. Your "good fellow" is pop.
ular for the time being, but when
his money is gone and he has lost
his job aud is ON his nppers the
"good fellow" bnsincsStluesn't get
him anything. IL : poor fellow
then Another good man gone

to hail smother "gpah fellow who
has the price.
We don't mean hy this to sny
that "the boys are mprc-nary
They don't altogether pass up a
"good fellow when he goes broke,
but it isn't the same. They say he
hit the booze too hard and couldn't
stand the pace They feel sorry
for him, but he is out Of it. He
good fellowship doesn't excuse him,
even in the eyes Of his friends, for
having thrown away his oppor-
tunity.
The young man whogets the sleep
his system needs, is temperate in
his habits, lives within his means
aud shows up for work in the morn
ing with clear eye and active brain
that's the man business men are
looking for. They want employees
whom they can trust. Having
worked hard aud laid by compe-
tence, they want to throw some Of
the burdens off. and they won't
throw them off Oh the emplope who
is too much of good fellow.
Cut it out boys. There's moth
ing it. There's whole lot of nonsense
in that "good fellow" business
You can't fool the public very long
by living beyond your meaus and
keeping mp appearances. There
must be show down some time or
other, and that means loss Of self.
respectand many bitter experiences.
All men will think more of you if
yon hold yourselfjn and don't try
to i've wine existence on beer
income.
Many bright and promising
business man has failed because he
tried to travel in too swist class;
whereas, had he lived within his
means, he might have become q
highly successful merchant
The world doesn't give up its
treasures easily. 1t isn't in the
cords for all of us to be milliOnair %,
and mighty few Of the "good fel-
lows" get into thatclass. It's better
to earn your way first and 60 hunt
ing for good times when you have
reached the point where you can
spare both the time and the money.
Then, possibly; you'll have more
sense and have different notion

He took bottle up to bed,
Drank whiskey hot each night,
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight,
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until he took o bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full Of rheumatis,
His appetitewas sack,
He had pains between his shoulders,
And chsils ran down his back,
He suffered from insomnia,
AT night be couldn't snooze;
He said it was the climste--
He never blamed the booze.

and with an informal reception or so
1t is Of importance that the guest
should arrive at her destination in
good form. The travelling dress
should be selected with the utmost
discrimination. The best plan is to
combine a stylish walking suit with
a travelling surtout, the latter serving,
in case of need, as a driving wrap
\ jaunty model that answers these
two purposes admirably is a tweed in
a cadet gray. There is Vatican idea
in the back pleating, the folds falling
traight TO the hem, finished. as is the
vogue nowadays, by band of ma
chine stitching. A military cape. with
epaulettes, passes around to the front,
where it fastens with military buttons.
There arc convenient pockets each
side. the cuffs of the tight-htting
sleeve being decorated likewise with
the prevailing gilt buttons.
This coat is worn with dark blue
etamine walking dress, the skirt being
long back and front, and trimmed
with bands of tafeta.

is a narrow band of haircloth, a new
supple kind, inserted in the hem of
the underskirt to give the correct flare
to the very full outerskirt.
The bodice is of the baby order,
fastening in the back with handsome
pearl buttons, while straps OF black
velvet ribbon decorate the deep girdle
pointed at the back and sloping toward
the front. The sleeves show all the
combined eccentricities of the present
mode. They are tucked at the shout
ders and fall into a bouffant puff at
the elbow. where they are caught into
deep cuff of Irish point, which quite
covers the hand with the new militaire
effect.
\ frock designed for dinner that
is TO be followed by dance must be
altogether distinct from the formal
dinner gown. Some diarhanous ma
terial of a delicate evening tint is
preferable to cloth or velvet, and, as
a matter of fact. is much less expen-
sive. One should always strive for
effect rather than wearing qualities in
costume that is destined for ball
room usage.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-12-20

This entire gown can be carried out
in satin-faced broadcloth, with decor
atoms OF some heavy lace, such a.
yak or even macrame, touched up by
balls OF magenta chenille.
An appropriate hat for the costume,
whether it be in velvet or cloth, Is a
deep magenta-dyed beaver with 4
border of white fox
The guest should always aim to look
pretty and attractive For morning
wear, therefore, should suggest one
OF the hattering silk-nannel shirt
waists striped in floral designs. The
shoulder seams are cut long and the
necessary fullness for the front is pro
vided for in the pleats at each side of
the box pleat The sleeve is of the
nlain shirt cut. with a narrow cuff
fastening with pearl buttons. This
waist would harmonic nicely with one
of those new imported weaves OF
MIXED colors: for instance, a mig

Nothing is prettier and less costly
for this purpose than the lovely new
chiffons, spangled either in silver or
gold stars. An ambitious and not too
busy woman can spangle her own
chiffon, carrying out her own original
fancies in the pattern.

almost the same effect for mother Of

travagance. although it quite repays the
outlay by its brilliant shimmering eff

edges the little corsage drapery, which
just comes 10 the top of the plisse
girdle, and is also applied at inter-
walls upon the skirt, which is pleated
deeply into the waist band and allow

The sleeves are simnly a series of
chiffon ruffles, with fringe decoration

~ortion being thickly strewn with
spangles.

1t is advisable that the calling dress
should be the richest and most i'm
pressive of all the gowns selected by
guest who wishes to reflect credit
upon her hostess. The casual visitor
is judged by her gown, its richness
and correctness. She should there
fore hold herself ready to stand the
test of this examination.
A rich and unimpeachable calling
costume, il one can afford it, is OF
velvet. An ideal model, which | had
an opportunity of examining at a
fashionable establishment, is of ma
genta velvet, enriched with embroider-
ed lace and plisse chiffon. The cor
sage is in blouse and bolero style, the
under blouse being of white chiffon
with magenta chenille embroideries.
The sleeves have velvet care, to
which voluminous ruffles OF chiffon are
attached, falling into a cuff of the
embroidered lace. The skirt has
tucks stitched down to below the knee.
where they fall into a flare, finished
Just above the hem by a band of
tinted lace inserted over white
chiffon.

The dressy hat harmonizes with
the costume 1t is a white beaver,
cockade shape, with dark blue, long
haired beaver trimmings, gold but
tons and a handsome blue bird as a
finishing decoration. This hat. bit
too dressy for travel, is covered when
used for that purpose with an all-over
veil drapery.

OUR PUBLIC MEN.

"Are the public men of the present
dav eo,1al to those of former times? 1t
seems to us that this question must be
answered negatively. The men now in
public life do not measure up to those
of twenty or twenty-five years ago, Not
longer ago than that period there were
men in public life like Blaine, Conkling,
Carpenter, Hill, Stevens, Lamar, Ran
die, George Carlisle, Beck, Eust1s, Glib
son and others too numerous to men
ton. We will look in vain for many
men like these in public life today. 1t
is true that there are still able men in
the public service, but they are fewer in
number than they were a quarter of
century ago" says the Guardian Jour
nal 3.-
IF this is true there is a reason for
ii, and it would be profitable as we'll as
interesting to discover that reason.
Surely the race is not degeneratlng in
mental force or in moral character. If
not, how can we account for the deca-
dence of Our public men?
perhaps the fact that the great cor
porations and other forms of wealth,
dominate public affairs in many of the
states more largely than was formerly
the case, will furnish a partial answer.
In the other states, we think, the an
swer will be found in the system OF
machine politics hieh prevails.
/ Our own State may be taken as an
example Of the latter. At present Louis
lana has not single man in public life
Iof conspicuous and commanding ability.
In the recent past we had men like
Eustis, Ellis, White and Gibson, but we
will look in vain for their like in the
public service today. There are able
men, strong men, today in the State, but
they are not in the public service, al
least, the strongest and the ablest OF
them are not. The machine either
crushes them or they will not submit to
its methods, and hence remain in pri-
t zE
vate life. 49,.
IF we could adopt a popular method
of nominating OUR candidates for public
Office and abrogate the governors pat
ronage, we believe abler and stronger
men would come to the front. The prl-
mary method would bring the candi-
dates before the people to discuss the
issues of the day, and the strongest and
abIest men would be more than apt to
win. And such discussion would be a
school for the education and develop
ment of public men. The abrogation OF
the governors patronage would destroy
machine politics by destroying the ma
chine itself"

STRANGE THINGS.

Strange things have come to pass
during the last half century. Once Rus
sia was our friend in need, and now we
oppose Russian scheme because we
want to pose as a nation insisting, upon
justice. At the time that Russia came
to our aid Great Britain was doing all it
could against us. A few months ago we
stood idly by while Great Britain vio-
lated every tenet of justice and robbed
the Beers Of the land they had Wrested
from the wi1derness.-The Commoner.
Be charitable! How could the United
States have interposed in the cause OF
the Beers by jumping on England
when. in the Philippines, it was guilty
of the crime of England in South
Africa?
The Caucasian., 1903-05-10

Democrats were recently told, when
they suggested desire to recommend
for appointment through a Democratic
urinary a successor for their sheriff,
deceased. that the Governor had al
ready appointed a man. Seriously, the
appointive system, the power conferred
on the Governor in the appointment OF
more than 5000 officers in the State
whose salaries exceed 100000, not in
cudng the fees and emolumentS, IS
power which enforces autOcraCy to the
detrinent of Democracy, and 1t creates
and sustans a monopoly, an ollgarchy
odious in its every form and aspect.
which no freeman should countenance
or tolerate.
And since the threatening condition
of a dark historic past can never again
be repeated. when the people as safe
guard surrendered temporarily some OF
their power to the Governor, exercised
through appointment. it is now IN order
that the people shall recall that power
and exercise it as becomes treemen.
The logic Of the situation today is that
all power derived from the people must
be controlled by and through the people.
If this be not Democratic, then what is
