ecutor of the estate appealed to the
Circuit Court, and there won. Now the
State and county appeal from this judg-
ment to the Court Of Appeals. The sum

DEATH OF FREE TRADE.
Representative Canadian Newsps-
pers and Citi.ens Declare in
Favor of Protection.

Naturally Canada, which is u pro-
lection country, Is deeply Interested
In the economic discussion now going
cerned as to the ultimate result. 1t
is worthy of mention that Representa-
tive Canadian newspapers and promi-
nent citizens Of the Dominion very
heartily agree with Mr.. Chamberlain
and other British statesmen In the
stand they have taken In favor OF pro-
tectlve action. Canada knows how II IL
herself. for she has prospered under
protection and sees that Great Britain
has reached point where free trade
leaves the nation industrially helpless
before it's commercial enemies, says
the Troy Times.
The Montreal Star publishes some
interviews which indicate the feeling
in the Dominion. Under the heading
'rhe Free Trade Fetish Is Dead" IT
says:
"Dr. A. Lapthorn Smith. who has just re-
turned from attending the international
medical congress at Madrid. spent besides
ten days In England. during which time
he was forced to the conclusion that Mr..
Chamberlain was probably following, as
well as leading. public opinion In his re-
cent speech. as 1t was evident to anyone
that there were many millions OF people
In England who had ceased to believe In
the free trade fetish. DIR. Smiths own
observations bear out this opinion. AL
ready the whole Of the agricultural classes
were In favor Of a preferential tax on for
eign products, he says, and many working
men are beginning to see that English
"a. .N..1A wx>N IAxana -
stand the inroads Of their rivals. In going
about London he saw hundreds OF beautiful
shops filled with American shoes. and 1t
was quite difncult, indeed, to md one
where English shoes were sold.
THE British farmer Is having a very
hard time OF II. what with the competition
of foreign food and the frosts which for
the last few years have been running his
small fruit crops. one of the few things he
had left to depend upon. This year was es-
pecially severe In that respect. Many were
disappointed at the removal OF the small
tax on foreign wheat. which had no effect
whatever In raising the price OF bread. the
quartern, or two-pound loaf. being sold for
two-pence half-penny. the same as II had
been for many years past"
The Star also quotes Hon. Alfred b.
Morine, political leader in Newfound-
land, who has just returned from a
visit to England, as saying that "a
sentiment bordering on protection has
taken a firm hold upon section of the
British people," Newfoundland is not
included in the Canadian Dominion.
but the interests of that island are SO
closely allied with those of the main
land that it is in close sympathy with
the economic views of its neighbors.
All these British possessions are loyal
to the home government, but they
realize the value of protection for
themselves and others, and they wei
come the indications which show that
the people Of England are coming to
their way of thinking.

there are hints and whispers galore
about the possibilities of holland. But
this is not to be the brown holland

its price, so that it's venerable ancestor

chiffon; to be worn over an elaborate
ly trimmed slip of white washing silk.
When blouses Of this description are
mistake to use any other kind-severe
simplicity in matter of design is the
invariable rule, and they are usually
made to fasten plainly down the back,
with a somewhat scant amount of
pouching at the waist in front.
The summer shirt waist for 1908 is
simply delightful in both fit and nm
ish. The smartest-looking are made
of linen, both plain and Of figured
variety. This last looks almost like
fine pique, but ii is linen nevertheless
and is quite frequently used for the
pretty shaped yoke which marks the
shirt of this years vintage, and also
to form the plastron-like front, which
is seen to such particular advantage
on many of the new shirt waists
brought out this month. With each
passing day something new and charm
ing is seen in summer millinery.
The new toques are remarkable
chiefly on account Of their tiny pro
portions, and should they get much
smaller would hardly seem to answet
the purpose of head covering.
The French sailor hat is the idol Of
the hour, it's devotees being found
both among the young and old. Fol
those who can wear 1t becomingly
there is nothing more charming, more
chic, more useful. The brims, of course
vary in size, but the tendency is to
ward greater width. There is some
thing delightfully."- Frenchy and at the
same time absurd in fatness Of tho
crown. One of the favorite forms Of
trimming is wreath of roses or VIC
let's, as the case may be, and soft.
ening scarf of lace.

hanging bell pieces OF tucked taffetA,
edged with pompadour ribbon, with ~
undersleeve of net and lace, which
came into point over the hand, very
similar to fashion which prevailed to
a large extent several seasons ago.
There never was such a season for
lace-real lace, of course, for prefer
ence. Lace, lace, and again lace Is the
cry OF oil the new summer models.
There is scarcely costume, outdoor
or otherwise, but what boasts Il as a
trimming. Venetian point, the Repais-
sance, and various coarse makes of
lace are all much in demand. A for
coarse guipures there is a perfect flu
rore for tEem, Notwithstanding the eff
forts of few fashionable dressmakers
to Introduce finer make.
AS matter of fact, there need never
be any particular style of lace more
in vogue than another, for any good
pattern, be 1t real or only fine imita-
lion, finds favor in the eyes of the wise
woman. The most important thing
In these days when limitations are SO
wonderfully clever, is not to buy COM
mon makes. II one cannot afford
much-and the majority Of women
cannot-have little good, and let 1t
DO duty on any number of gowns.
Almost every known fabric is being
pressed into service for tile blouse
beautiful and the blouse useful. Crepe
de chine, washing satin, Japanese silk,
fine muslin, and that most delightful
OF all the newer materials known as
chiffon-voile are all charming, while
for the cool mornings that are bound
to come in the summer time, delaine
will this season take the place of fan
mel. That reminds me that the de-
LANES of to-day are produced in all
kinds of fascinating patterns, bring
ing forcibly to mind the Dolly Warden
chintzes of long ago. Some of the
newest patterns from Paris show the
spot, while checks and stripes will be
vastly popular later on both for
blouses and charming afternoon
frocks.
There is one blouse which we shall
continue to admire, although it does
not have the charm of novelty to rec
ommend it to my lady of fashion, and
that is the one Of dainty lace, prefera-
bly, Of coarse Irish crochet. Accord
ing to the latest decree of Dame FASH
ion. the only lining permissible in this
blouse is one Of mousseline de solo ~

up his advantage by punching Tom
in the stomach, and then striking
him a second time on the head with
the butt of the revolver. Incident
ally, he did lot of other things to
him, but they did not interest Tom
after he received the second blow on
the head.
When Tom opened his eyes the
bartender was bending over him,
bathing his head with cold water.
Tom gave a sigh. He had expected
that experience would change some
Of his ideas of western life, but the
change had been too sudden to be
pleasant. Then he looked at the
bright side of 1t.
Anyhow, he didn't make me drink
the whisky" he murmured to the
bartender.
"He didn't want to-" answered
that worthy, gruffiy. "Ike just mixed it
up with you because he thought you
were looking for trouble. He's al
ways accommodating about helping
man in search of that kind. But
he wouldn't waste good stuff by fore
ing it on a man who didn't want it.
After he had polished you up he
dranle\y your whisky, and went off as
quiet and peaceable as lamb"
This was the unkindest cut OF all.
AS Tom Atwood rose YEARLY to his
feet and felt doubtfully of his head,
to see II it was all there, he said,
with little groan:
"If could get hold of some Of
those people who tell tales about the
way the tenderfoot wipes up the bad
man, I'll polish them up worse than
Ike Williams did men, Y. Times.
