Doctor r. q. Lightle, who was

on whose death insurance compan-

DR.. Lightle returned to his
mothers home, which is unoccu-

through Il window. When it was
learned that he was at the house a
reporter called him up over the
phone He readily answered all

It explains his last wish and his last

in my heart a longing, without hops
or reason, to inherit the dreary acres
of reeds, pools of salt water and piles
of sweepings, emptied from grain cars
on the Y, and God willing, l shall live
on this forgotten estate as long as
may.
1t is now perfectly clear that my
gentle, sensitive benefactor had
thought an heiress would be happier

Other poor people found out the mine

the idea of vast wealth grew upon
my aged foster father until he began
to talk about turning the sacks of
wheat into sacks Of pure gold by some
mysterious means. This he said he
could do, his thin face-pallld as the

Eton Jacket.

Elton jackets are to be noted among

tractive. This one includes the tiny
vest effect that marks the latest de-

brown and white braid, the vest being
white cloth braided with brown and
tan, but all suiting materials are APP

many things. Oriental embroidery is
much liked, brocades and lace are
seen and wide brand is used.
The jacket is made with fronts and
back and is fitted by means of single
darts, shoulder and under-arm seams.
The little vest can be applied over the
edge and finished with the braid, or
the jacket can be cut away and the
edge of the vest arranged under it,
then stitched to position. The sleeves
are gathered and are Joined to the

Eton Collars for Spring.

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

CAST OUT THE DEVIL"
Peace Finally Secured by Weared
Travellers in Korea.


In his new book, Korea" Mr.. An
gus Hamilton gives an interesting pic
ture of the land which Is now attract
ing the eyes of the civilized world.
Here in his account of night spent
in the village of Wha-ding: 1T was
impossible to stand; 1t was impossi-
BILE to sit; sleep was out of the ques-
ton. We shook our clothes; we
bathed and washed and powdered.
Every effort was a torture, and each
precaution increased the ironies Of
the situation. To add to the plaques
of this accursed place, we were deaf
ened by the ear-splitting incantations
of sorcerer who had been hired by
the proprietor of the village inn to
exercise a devil that had bewitched
him. We wondered afterwards wheth-
er this accounted for the ceaseless
activity among the vermin. After a
futile attempt to come to terms, with
the magician by bribery and corrup-
ton through the medium OF my in
terpreter, it was arranged that one Of
the grooms should represent the evil
spirit. He passed out into the desola-
ton of the night and howled plain
lively, while we, having collected the
elders and the necromancer, solemnly
fired our revolvers into the darkness
at the departing spirit. Unfortunate
ly, we did not convince the wizard
that the devil had been expelled. 1t
was not until, losing my temper and
my reason together, dropped his
gongs and symbals down a well, de-
posting him in it after them, that we
were rid of the agonies of this addi-
tional nuisance"

The Coal scuttIe Bonnet.

The quaintest Of all chapeaux for
little people is a coal scuttle bonnet
in white satin trimmed with roses and
other white flowers. The sides of this
bonnet are sometimes folded over
after the manner of Breton caps, For
the little fancy coat and wrap, white
cloth is the general favorite. There
are many different designs for these
garments, but the Gretchen shape,
which is simplicity itself, seems to be
the most popular.
