Mayor Schmitz has made formal objection

The sum saved he would apply to permanent

merits in the newer finish. Scotch tweeds
are for early spring tailoring, too, and
many handsome gowns are made of them
without collar, and often entirely self
trimmed, buttons and stitched straps be-
ing of the material. Some of these suits
have narrow straps extending from the
neck or shoulders of the collarless coat
half way TO the bottom of the skirt.
These are caught to the coat in one or
two places. but fall unconfined from the
waist where the coat ends. The idea
is pretty, but is far more attractive
when not carried to extreme length, and
it is likely that those in highest favor
will have the straps end at the waist line
after the manner of those in to-days
initial picture. This gown was brown
canvas suiting, self-trimmed with stitch
ed straps and sprinkled with French
knots. Notified cheviots are another
item of this display. A stylish way of
decorating these is to have around the
skirt, about nine inches from the bot
tom, a wide band of velvet of the same
shades as those in the material On This
band braid is put in designs, like trim
ming showing on the coat.
Franker preparation for GOODNESS in
early spring is made in new gowns bear
ing a little fur trimming. or planned to
be worn with fur accessories, though not
with fur coat or szeable wrap Two
handsome selections from these dresses
make up the second of the accompanying
pictures. The left-hand one was gray
etamine and antique lace. and the other
was blue broadcloth trimmed with ap-
plique of green figures cut from cloth.
Etamine and canvas cloth gowns of this
grade have yokes in waists and skirts of
heavy lace. Antique is pretty for such
use, and byzantine lace is effective, too.

one of the successful four Ohio boys
at the examination conducted by the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion for entrance to the Naval Acad
envy, was formerly little bootblack at
the Grove House in that city. Bogart
is an orphan boy. and was selected for
the place by Congressman Shook
through the efforts and influence Of
John n. Kunneke. a prominent mer-
hant and Democrat.
The boy graduated from the local
High School with the class Of 1902.
and at the time of graduation held a
teachers certificate. He was an ener-
getic little fellow, and Landlord and
Mrs. S. A. Morris of the Grove Hotel

START OF A DESERT CARAVAN.
Camels Follow the Dun Leader as
Sheep the BelI-wetheT.

Canels Follow the Dun Leader as
Sheep the BeI-wethe~.
There were the last words, in
structions, cautions, adieus, and then
Abdullah held up his hand. Ali gave
the cry of the camel-driver and the
uncouth beasts, twisting and sDarling
under their loads, struggled to their
feet
Another cry and they began their
voyage. They traversed the square,
passed the mosque, turned down a
narrow street, and in five minutes
crossed the line that bounded the oasis
and entered upon the desert.
Immediately the dun leader took his
place at the left and slightly in add
vance The fourth on the right of the
dun was the black racer. He carried
two water-skins and Abdullah's sad
die, Then came, N ranks, fifteen
camels, Ali riding in the centre. On
the right flank rode the two women,
with enormous red and white cotton
sun-shades stretched behind them.
Then, at an interval of six rods, came
fifteen camels unattended. They sim
ply followed the squad in 'front.' The
dun leader and the black racer had
lanyards about their necl1s. The other
c;>nels had no harness save the sur
cingles that held their loads.
In a panic, a sandstone, fusilade
from Bedouins, a mirage, and race
for water, if Abdullah and Ali could
grasp these lanyards, the caravan
was saved, since the other camels fol-
lowed the dun leader and the black
racer as sheep follow the belI-wether.
Abdullah walked at the left abreast
of the dun At intervals he rode the
black racer
The pace of a caravan is two miles
an hour. but Abdullahs, the two Grip
pies included, could make two miles
and a quarter. The black racer could
make sixty miles a day for five days,
without drinking, but at the end of
such a journey his hump would be no
