The tees We Road

Nine successful novels recently pub
lished in the United States had a total
sale of over 100000 copies, says the
Chicago Daily News. Since the aver
age weight of each book sold was prob
ably twenty ounces, little calculation
will prove that these 100000 books
contained approximately 100000
pounds of paper. A manufacturer Of
papers asserts that the average spruce
tree yields a little less than half a
cord of wood. which is equivalent to
about 500 pounds of paper. In other
words, these nine novels swept away
1000 trees, and they form but a small
part of the fiction so eagerly read by
the American public.

Fashion Notes.

Cloth cut into narrow strips is a smart
fringe fancy.
Never were aigrets of more peculiar or
Varied shapes.
A reaction from the extreme blouse
front has set in.
Bright colored silk Innings are worn
..rder sheer materials.
Trimmed with oriental embroidery the
colored pongee is at its best
A touch of pale blue is as modish as
the everlasting touch of black.
Plated boleros are the proper things
for wear with princesse costumes.
Granite cloth is one of the best wear
ing materials for the travelling frock
Tassels still play a more or less inn
portaDt part in dress and cloak making.
A dainty pair of white silk gloves has
purple pansies embroidered on the back
Surah liner has a silk fi1ish and surah-

1t makes no difference whether you
have broad shoulders or not-only so you
seem to have them.
Long cloaks Of book muslin. linen and
similar fabrics figure among the modish
outer garments in the shops.
Almost every one of the seasons gowns
bows a girdle of some sort. The smart
It ones are broad and crushed.
Already prophecies of fall modes are

from, and the consequence is much
more pleasing array of travelling suits
than are seen when almost all of such
costumes are of kind.
The travelling wrap or coat is almost as
important as the gown and may be
very stylish garment. The light weights
in silk cravenettes are used deal and
make very sensible wraps. A coat of
this sort will come in handy in 80 many
ways as to be almost indispensable in
the wardrobe, and as they look swagger,
they are all right in almost any place
Many of these coats are away down to
the bottom of the skirt. This is the SEN

good and is Just so much lighter for the
wearer. The light tan shade Of craven

stylish garment, and one that has q GER

for the trimmings. Il is used in stitch
ed bands down the fronts, round the cape
collar and on the edges of the full, loose
sleeves. A pretty color combination in
cludes trimming with variegated silk in
Persian colors. In this combination the
wrap looks as if it belonged to any one
of number Of different gowns.

SMILES COST YOU NOTHING.

Oh, let's put away the worry and the
heartaches for awhile,
And look upon the sunny side of life,
And meet each rugged obstacle with just
a pleasant smile,
And forget about the troubles and the
strife
Lets be glad and Wen be happy. and the
cares will fly away,
And Wen only see unclouded skies of
blue.
For, remember. that q smile is worth a
heartache any day,
And glad smiles cost you nothing
keartaches do.
Don't he grievins over errors that have
been made in the past,
But resoutely face the glad To-day:
We will meet with some discomforts, but
these trials seldom last
If we smile the doubts and borrowed
fears away;
Let's go singing on life's journey with
heart that's glad and light,
Filling other lives with JOY and sun
shine, too,
And remember that a smile is worth
heartache any day.
And glad smiles cost you nothing
heartaches do.

Trusts in Control.

If President Roosevelt is reelected
next year it win be simply and solely
because a majority of the voters sin
cerely believe that he is helping them
to fight their battle with the trusts
SO odious have the hundreds of pro-
tected trusts become, both in the eyes
of consumers and investors, that no
man who openly favors them can
hope to be elected to any kind of pub
lie office. 1t is not strange, then, that
President Roosevelt is seeking to have
the public believe that he is an enemy
of all bad Understanding that there
are some good ones.
But what did the President ever do
10 really injure great corporations?
Although he began political life as a
strenuous free-trader, yet he recently,
under pressure from the Protective
Tariff League joined the standpatters
and thus stands opposed to the most
certain way of curbing the trusts and
giving relief to the people by reduc-
ing the tariff duties. As Governor of
New York be called an extra session
of tie Legislature to pass amendments
to the Ford bill TO tax the franchises
of tie public service corporations.
The amendments We're prepared by
the corporation attorneys, and were
intended to make the act unconstitu-
tional. The courts hare not yet, after
four years of lost time, fully decided
the case. II was the Presidents voice
that killed the Littlefield antitrust bill
in the last Congress and caused the
passage of two sham antitrust bills
the Elkins anti-rebate bill and the De
partment Of Commerce bill, with its
bureau of corporations to give pub
licity TO trusts.

zation Of the work and for laying out
special lines of investigation. All this
VIII consume many months, and Sec
rotary Cortelyou is too tactful man to
weaken his strategic position by open
ing fire in a Presidential campaign, if
there would be any danger of hurting
his party thereby. II will, therefore,
be a good while before there are any
definite results of the inquiries of the
Bureau of Corporations.
Is there anything in this statement
to brighten the trusts? is it not clear
that this new bureau win give the
trusts two years more leeway-two
years more license to squeeze the PEG
pie and extract money from their
pockets--two years at $1,000,0O0,000 a
year? And what then? Publicity
That's all, and more than all, for it is
eEtirly optional with the President
whether any of the facts gathered by
this bureau are ever published or not.
But the facts, when published, are in
tended to serve only as a basis for
conservative" antitrust legislation
some time in the dim and distant fu-
ture.
President Roosevelt fighting the
trusts? He is their best friend. He,
as no other living man, knows how to
tickle them and at the same time make
the multitude, who sees his fierce face
and vigorous gestures, believe that he
is mauling the life out of them. The
trusts have great need of just such a
man at this juncture to save them
from the wrath of an outraged Ieople.
1t is a part of their game that Wall
street and the trusts are to be against
Roosevelt this year. Next year when
the campaign is on it will be found
that the G. o. p. is getting financial
support from it's old-time friendS-the
