On the Fence.

Politics are strenuous in one up
state county. Recently a company OF
stalwarts started out to caucus but
were overtaken by the floods. SO
dangerous became the situation that
the worthy citizens had to take TO
the top rail OF ten-rail fence Short
ly afterwards several delegations
from both political parties came along
In boats headed for the caucus, but
both refused TO rescue the men, the
sight Of a dozen voters on the fence
seeming TO them to be little too
significant.

MONEY FOR WATERWAYS.
Rouse Adopts Rivers and Harbors Bill
After Brief Debate.


Washington special; After a brief
debate the house adopted the river
and harbor bill, which provides for an
appropriation OF $3,000.000 for main
tanning and restoring work done upon
the water ways OF the country. This
sum will he expended at the discre-
ton OF the secretary OF war. but he
will not be permitted to spend more
than $4,000 on any one project. An
other clause in the bill authorizes
him TO continue work on rivers and
harbors already authorized by con-
gress, regardless OF the limit OF cost
fixed by law. II the senate agrees to
the bill, and 1t probably will do so,
this provision OF the bill will make
II possible to continue work which
otherwise would be stopped until con.
gress provided further appropriations
and authorized an increase in the limit
of cost. This would be necessary be-
cause OF the increase in the price OF
labor and material since these works
were authorized. Congress will pro.
vide the additional sums necessary to
complete these improvements In the
deficiency appropriation bill at the
next session.

Eton COLLAR for sprIna.

The Elton collar is noticed on some
spring suits. 1t is a welcome change
from the collarless effects OF former
seasons. II gives a girlish. not to say
boyish, look to the wearer. II has
already been seen on the English ten
mis- suits of white duck and sea green
linen in Florida courts, and now 1t
comes along as top dressing OF the
boIero or jacket-shaped bodices OF
spring suits.
II is OF linen usually. but is made
more becoming and softly feminine by
frilling OF soft Valenciennes lace
sewed all the way around. The open
space between the collar points is
thus filed in and finished with bow.
