Kick on Advertisement.

Rev. G. A. King, of this city. state
evangelist for the Universalist church,
writes the following to the Topeka Cap
ital:
To the Editor of the Capital:
] feel called upon to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the first thing that
meets the view on entering the Historical
vertisement of a brewing company. Il
seems TO me that our state capitol and Of
ficials might be in better business than
advertising a business that is forbidden
by the constitution Of the state
Is 1t any wonder that the traffic in in
toxicants cannot be suppressed in this
state when the state house is employed TO
advertise them? is it any wonder that
there is lawlessness in the state when
the fundamental law Of the same is con-
temned within the shadows Of its legisla-
tive halls and within the same q shame
full advertisement is Haunted in the face
OF every passerby.
II may be that we have no other picture

Using any brewing company. 1t would
be bad enough in an avowed whisky state.

SURPRISED His Mother.

a West Side small boy is always schem-
ing to surprise his parents and last week
he surprised them so much that they
hardly know what to do with him.
This small boy found that the tomato
plants in the garden were overloaded
with fruit ana bent so that much Of the
vines touched the ground. This small
boy determined TO stop this. He cut all
of the branches of the vines away except
one straight shoot and then tied this
shoot to a stick. After he had mutilated
some twenty vines, the entire patch, the
youngSter called his mother to view the
work. She was shocked and anything but
agreeably surprised and set her daughter
to work to gathering the large toma-
toes from the cut vines and these, about
three bushels We're laid on the summer
kitchen roof to ripen. When these are
gone it is not likely that the family VII
have tomatoes from their own garden,
as very few were left on the vines.

Whatever he is Mr.. Ford kept him pretty
close and the other night tied him near
his locker in which was a package Of
paris green. The dog got TO nosing around
and when he found the paris green, as
he was hungry like all dogs always are,
he concluded to make a meal on 1t and
acted accordingly. He managed 10 get
away with one and one-half pounds Of
the stuff, and then he dubbed up and re-
fused to be conforted. The boys say he
shed tears bigger than marbles and inter-
mingled his tears with bowls OF regret
His vocal music brought Mr. Ford to the
spot and when he discovered what the
trouble was. he reused the neighborhood
In the search for sweet milk and a stom-
ach pump. He secured the former in
great quantities for the women in that
neighborhood are very kind-hearted, but
one OF the latter was enough. Both
were used to a good advantage and the
next day no one would have known how
narrowly the dog escaped making a trip
to the happy hunting grounds.
Has Blind Horse.
A West Side man has a blind horse
which ne calls Badly" and this particu-
lar horse has been the source of much
pain and mental anguish to the owner
during the past week. AS the horse is
blind and very likely 10 get himself into
trouble, the owner has placed bell on
a strap around the horses neck and
when the horse gets into a pickle, the
owner knows it by the sound Of the bell.
The owner Of the horse, with the help of
a neishbor. has been digging well near
his house and they were pretty we'll down
in the ground the other day when the
neighbor concluded to have a little fun.
He complained of being thirsty and soon
decided that the thing for him to do was
to go UP and get a bucket of water. He
pulled himself TO the top of the ground in
a bucket and started off apparently for
the house, but instead ran into the lot
where the horse was kept. slipped the bell
from the horses neck and put it around
his own. Then he began circ.ing around
the hole in the ground. The owner Of the
horse recognized the familiar tone OF the
bell and his heart began to crawl up
nearer his shirt collar. What if that blind
horse should fall IN upon him?
The practical joker continued to circle
around the well. Once in making the
turn he came nearer to the well than
usual and heard the man in the ground
yell with a fearful voice, whoa, Badly"
He slowed down for few turns, then be-
gan cavorting again. He could hear the
man in the well alternating prayers with
the word. Whoa, Badly" The joker
crept to the edge of the well and quietly
looked over There in the bottom of the
well, on his knees with hands upllfted,
the imprisoned man was praying IS he
never had before that "Old Baby would
not fall In on him. "Baldy'' did not and
after a glance the joker hurried back
and replaced the bell on the horse and
returned 10 the well as if nothing had
happened. The frightened man said never
a word about his scare, but the joke was
too good for the joker to keep, and the
next day the owner of the horse was
dubbed Badly for short.

A Year Of Disasters.

1t required many days OF rain to raise
the great flood which has wrought such
destruction down the Kansas, Missouri
and Des Moines rivers, and which, still
on its way to the sea, is OVERLOOKING
town and country southwark from where
the Missouri joins the Mississippi. But
less than one night of rain caused the
flood that has destroyed, in and around
Spartanburg, S. c., about as many lives
and nearly as much property as did the
Kansas or Kaw river flood at Topeka.
More destructive OF life than either

Current Press Comment.

st. Johnsbury, the only large town in
the state to vote no license, had eleven
arrests for intoxication during March,
April and May. From Friday to Mon
day Montpelier had eight. In Benning
ton on Saturday alone seven arrests
were made for the same offense, and the
jail was so crowded that an evening ses-
sion of the municipal court was neces.
sary to relieve it. These comparisons
are not made as criticism of the license
system but merely as a hint of what
arguments high license advocates will
have to explain away if the contest is re.
newed in 1904 Montpelier Journal.
According to the Free Press the month
OF May this year shows 10S arrests in
the city oil Burlington as compared with
10 for the corresponding month of last
year. Were the officers derelict in their
duties last year or is the increase due to
the change in the liquor laws ?- Morris

FROCKS FOR STREET WEAR.

a NOSANS YIN oINSHA w -'H.>'
Trig and Simple Cesiumes-Elaborate
Creations - Variety in sashes and
GIrdles.
Especial Correspondence of the CALEDoNIAN.]
The moderately well-gowned woman
of today needs two or three frocks to
every one she would have needed ten
years ago. Fashion has become more
arbitrary, and feminine ideas have
grown more extravagant.
One must have tailored morning, or
walking frock, severe and smart as to
model, preferably one of wooltex con-
struction and finished with binding at
the hem; for example, the one on the
left in my illustration, the effectiveness
of which is greatly enhanced by being
worn with a Forsythe waist of white
linen, hand-embroidered, showing work
ed eyelets in conjunction with solid en-
broidery.
And yet, the trig and simple trotting
costume will not do for all street wear.
Beyond the province of tailor.mades,
stretches an lnterminable vista OF more
ambitious frocks adapted to various &C.
casions and includes the most elaborate
ly lace.trimmed and exquisite creations
which milady holds with dainty grace,
showing bewildering array OF frilIs and
furbelows and subscribing faithfully to
the eternal fitness of things in occasional
glimpses of her Gordon-dyed, lace-insert-
ed hose.
Now, as to these same furbelows-in
other words, petticoats-look out Tor
good supply; change in petticoats and
smaller details often constitute pleas
ing variety of toilet. Pompadour silks
mark the height in elegance 10 petticoats,
and among the more serviceable ones for
general wear, none excels the sorosis,
which has the new Paquin interlining,
making them effective as drop-skirts with
any costume. In my illustration, one is
show beneath gown OF Mohair Sicil-
lienne. With it is worn smart For
sythe shirt waist of Scoth Madras, hay
ing stiff cuffs and pearl button tasten-
ings-pearl buttons being the most pop
ular trimming for up-to-date costumes.
The deep girdle is constantly growing
in popularity, especially the one Of broad
ribbon which must fit with uncom-
promising smoothness, and for this a
featherbone foundation is absolutely es-
sential-as essential, in fact, as it is tor
stocks. Ribbon stocks, however, are
giving place to the transparent collar Of
lace iaggoting, etc, on sheer frocks, but
ribbon girdles and sashes are of more i'm.
portance then they have been in many
years.
Long sash ends are particularly charm
ing this season; these sashes are often
tied in original fashion, being knotted
not only at the waist line but once or
twice below that.
