g, 1908. are as we'll bred lot of cattle
ag can be found anywhere. Our herd
was founded in 1887 with the imported
bull. Lord Usk 3297S and cows and
hoifers that were granddaughters of
Lord Wilton, the Grove III and the
mighty Rudolph. We have always
tried to secure the best bulls possible
for use in our herd and among the
number will mention Lester 46444,
sired by Prince Edward, the best son
of Lord Wilton. Testers dam was
lily Spangle, by Tom Clark's Anxiety
III. Lester is the sire of many good
ones, and some of the dams of our Of
fering were sired by him. Elmwood
59186 was used in our herd three years
and proved himself good sire. He
was sired by Dick Grove III, grand
con of the Grove III, and his dam was
Golden Treasure, by Anxiety III;
Elmwood was shown at all the leading
fairs in Illinois and was never defeat
ed. He was also winner of the blue at
the Utah state fair of 1899. We are
now using what we consider the best
bull we ever owned and one of the
best bulls of. the breed-Eclipse 85097.
He was bred by the late K. B. Armour
and said by him to be one of the best
bulls he ever bred. Eclipse was sired
by the great st. Louis, one of the
grandest show and breeding bulls that
ever lived. The dam of Eclipse is JUS
tina 51904, by Breastplate III; Saint
Justina that sold for $1,075 and topped
the Armour sale in 1899 is full sister
to Eclipse. The twelve heifers offered
at our sale are all sired by Eclipse,
and to anyone wanting to build herd
on a solid foundation they are just
he thing. Our cattle are not fitted for
the sale ring and will be offered in fair
thriving condition.

DEBuTANTE,s SIMPLE GOWNS.
The Cost of Her Wardrobe May coms
High, But the Garments Need
Net Be Elaborate

A girlish simplicity characterizes
the debutante's wardrobe, from the
gown in which she first makes her
bow to the fashionable world to her
more sturdy suits for walking, driv-
ing and golf. White, this season Of all
others, is her color, although pale
blue and pink are frequently worn.
AS to materials for the evening, lib
erty satin, chiffon, crepe de chine.
maine, and mousseline are on the list
of the daintiest, and hence the most
suitable. Point d'esprit is the young
girls lace, says fashion authority.
Berthas of one kind or another are
seen on all bodices. Skirts of thin
fabrics are shirred or tucked at the
top as rule. To give the desirable
fleeciness two and even three skirts Of
chiffon or mousseline are often used
under flmy gown, each fitted per-
fectly at the top and widening grad
ually toward the bottom.
Simple effects with expensive mate
rails distinguish many elegant dinner
and theater gowns. For these uses
white cloth is prime favorite this
season.
A summary Of the seasons fashions
shows no marked preference for any
thing except originality. So many
models are offered that the shop dis
plays are frequently more dazing than
enlightening, and even if one meets
with a garment in conventional cut
the growing taste for individuality il
revealed in some little touch never en-
countered before.
In short, so much scope is allowed
that the woman on modish folderols
bent has only to know her points
to be suited. If she doesn't know
them, let her seek out the best mill
liners and dressmakers and yield her
self to their judgment. I

Stockings with White Feet.

A Washington physician, in pub
lished interview, urges that the wear
ing of stockings with white feet will
do more to promote ease in walking
and relieve foothills than anything to
be suggested. Socks or stockings of
cotton or Isle thread in black bind
the feet and make them swell, he
says, no matter how fine and open
they may be. The black dye with
the hard thread of the Isle variety
is combination that is particularly
tortaring to tender feet. Thin un-
bleached balbriggan he recommends.
Preferably the whole sock or stock
ing may be white, but at least the
foot should be. A further caution Is
added that new cotton hose, as we'll
as all new cotton undergarments,
should be washed before being worn
to wash out the sizing used by manu-.
facturers.-N. Y. Post. 1.

The early life of Mr.. Richards, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel, is reminiscent
of the struggles Of the American pio-
neers who opened up the great west.
At the age of II he was teaching a
country school in Wisconsin. A few
years after the war the pioneer spirit
which he inherited from his father inn
PEELED him to go westward. From that
time until he finally settled in Wyom-
ing, where the highest state honors
were conferred upon him, his life is full
of interest. He left Wisconsin in 1869
to seek his fortunes in the boundless
west. He was at a loss as to where he
ought to locate, and remained in this
uncertain frame of mind for years.
During that time his travels took him
as far west as the Golden Gate, to the
Mexican border, on the south, and as
far north as the boundary separating
the United States from the British pos
sessions. He studied law in Omaha,
and edited a paper there; he was in
charge of vast herds Of cattle in Wy
oming when the buffalo covered the
plains and the red man roamed at
will. He went to California in 1879,
and after brief residence there was
elected surveyor of Santa Clara coun-
ty. Later he went to Colorado, and
again actively entered into politics, be-
ing elected surveyor of Ell Paso coun-
ty, and city engineer of Colorado
Springs. He afterwards returned to
Wyoming, and became governor, and at
the breaking out of the Spanish war
was the first chief executive of state
to wire President Mckinley that his
troops were mustered, fully equipped,
and ready for action. Finally, later in
the Mckinley administration Gov.
Richards came to Washington as as
sistant commissioner of the general
land Office. It is an interesting fact
that three of the men called by Presi-
dent Mckinley to take responsible po-
sitions in the interiordepartment spent
their boyhood days in southwestern
Wisconsin, within radius of ten miles
of one another. One of them is Gov.
Richards, another H. Clay Evans, for
mer commissioner of pensions, now
consul general to London, and the
third William A. Jones, commissioner
of Indian affairs.

Venezuela.)
rifles and ammunition were brought
to Fort de France on board the Brit
ish steamship Ban RICH, which was re-
christened the Libertador.
On January 2, 1902, the expedition
slipped away at night. President Cas-
tro declared the vessel pirate craft,
and offered $4,000 reward for its cap
ture. The entire Venezuelan navy
was sent to hunt for it, but despite
these precautions the expedition land
ed near Barcelona two days later. The
expedition included $50 men, Gems.
Penaloza, Duchame, Nicholas, Eolando
and Moves Navarro. The ship was
armed with rapid-fire guns and COW
cred with steel plates.
In a proclamation which Gen. Matos
issued just before sailing from Fort
de France he called upon all of his
countrymen for assistance.
''Our country is moaning and per-
ishing." he said. sour primary object
is to remove one man from his public
post, in which he has committed every
error and every excess, and who has
compromised, not only Venezuela's
good name, but even her national in
tegrity."
After several small battles had been
fought, Gen Matos left the scene and
cruised for time on the Libeselador,
touching at various points along the
coast, where the revolutionists were
in control. He landed in Trinidad in
March, to be at cable center, from
which he might direct his forces. The
fighting at this time became heavy
and losses and defeat were reported
for both sides.
In June Gen. Matos issued procla-
nation in which he announced pro-
visional government, with himself as
president.
Don Pedro Ezequiel Rojas, former
minister Of foreign affairs, was made
foreign representative. The army,
under the command of Gen. Pedro
Duchaine and Gen. Valenlis Perez, 1t
was announced, would assume control
Of Venezuela. The 30 per cent. duty
on articles imported from the West
Indies was declared abolished.
In September President Castro is
sued decree in which he denounced
Gen. Matos as a "traitor and a pirate -
Meantime fighting continued on a
small scale, often near Caracas.
Gen. Matos broke down under the
strain, and the revolutions dwindled,
although his forces remained in the
field. In November he landed at Cura-
Gao with his son in small boat, and
has since lived near Willemstead.
His health has continued poor, and
there has been little fighting since his
partial retirement.
