"Eiquring" the Rate.

When Gov. Peck of Wisconsin was
publishing the Sun at La Crosse, Wis,
Sells circus came to town. The press
agent was Charley Scott, big, bluff and
acutely sensitive to humorous situa-
ton. Peck said: "We'll want two
column ad in your paper"
Gall right, you can have the space, "
was the reply.
"How much will it COST"
"Just S63.50."
"Well, we must economize some, and
perhaps I can get along with less space"
"All right"
"What will one column cost?"
"Cost you $83.50."
"But that's only half as much as the
two column ad.'
81 know, but it will cost you just the
same" said Peck.
"What the devil do you mean by
charging the same for one column as you
do for two?"
"Well, I'll tell you," said Peck with a
genial grin. "The circus will be here
the 18th, and the 18th 1 must meet a
draft for paper for S63.50 and your old
circus is a godsend. Your ad will just
meet that draft"
"I'll be hanged" calculated the
astonished Scott. Then the humor OF
the situation catching him, he added,

Novelists. even Of eminence. are
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant. in For Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eykins had settled in
Providence. "Barnaby soon grew tired
of this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England. promising
that we should hear from him. This
was in 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July. 1873
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In "The Duel In
Herne Wood he makes the story open
with the receipt Of a telegram, and the
period is 1917. when twenty years had
to elapse before the first teleSraphic
wire was laid. Three Of the characters
also talk of taking the express train
to London in defiance Of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888.

their first hymns and prayers. She

HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the symp.
toms of a consumptive tendency. And
why should this dangerous condition
exist, dangerous alike to mother and
child, when DR.. Boschee's German Syrup
would put stop to it at onceP No
mother should DO without this old and
tried remedy in the house-for its timely
use will promptly cure any lung, throat
or bronchial trouble in herself or her
children. The worst cough or cold can
be speedily cured by German Syrup; so
can hoarseness and congestion of the
bronchial tubes. 1t makes expectoration
easy, and gives instant relief and refresh
ing rest to the cough-racked consumptive.

Fashion Notes.

One of the newest wells is the lace
drapery veil; it measures from yard
and half to two and half yards in
length, and is half yard in width.
These wells come in black, brown. blue,
cream color and white, and are in floral
and scroll designs.
The mercerized petticoats are shown
in tans, browns, reds, green and violets.
They are in ankle length, and have a
full flounce tucked at intervals, with
ruching set between the tuckings.
The mode in silk petticoats shows the
changeable effects, and the colors seen
are golden brown, green, blue, rose and
violet combined.
The most interesting feature in hosiery
is that pockets are woven in the stocking
near the top to accommodate railroad
tickets and purses.
Among the newest waists are the fine
batiste and lawns. They are embroider-
ed and lace-trimmed.
Walking skirts will be in lightweight
materials, including the mannish mix
lures and Scotch novelties.
Embroidered waists are made of white
linen, and the choicest are those that are
handmade.
Jacket suits will be made of veilings
as well as of cloth and linen, and will be
used for all dressy occasions.
For evening wear, the gold and silver
slipper is the height of elegance, which
accOrds we'll with the fad for gold and
the 1880 styles.
For street wear in stormy weather, the
heavy shoe with the round toe and high
military heel is considered correct.
Many of the new sailor hats have, at
the back, bandeau trimmed with
flowers, ribbon or lace that falls over the
hair.
Very little girls are wearing bonnets
of shirred null trimmed with rose-pink
or baby-blue ribbon.
The pure white and cream-white wool
suit will be feature Of the summer
style.-New Idea.

Clew That Leads to Cap

SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. By the
arrest at Warrick, Mont, of a man
named Stevens the Salt Lake police
believe the murderer of w. A. YER
million, who was killed in his drug
store in this city on the night of Au-
gust %, is in custody. Stevens, 1t Is
reported, has confessed his guilt and
has consented to return to Salt Lake
without extradition papers. Stevens
arrest was the result of a long chase
by a Salt Lake newspaper man, fol-
lowing a slender clew. Stevens, 1t was
learned had been a constant borrower
of money from Vermillion and had dis
appeared suddenly the day after the
murder. He was traced to Ogden,
thence to Blackfoot, Idaho; Idaho
Falls and finally to a ranch near War
rick, Mont, where he was arrested.
The authorities here have wired the
Sheriff of Silver Bow County, Mon
tana. to hold Stevens on his arrival
there until an officer arrives from salt
Lake. Vermillion, the murdered man,
formerly lived in San Francisco.
