HIGH WATER COMING.
Draw Bridge at Cotter Falls Un- der Pressure of Current Water Over Iron Noun
 tain For Six Miles.

There seems to be danger ahead for the people of the low lands, as White river has been rising three or four feet a day and now stands at 23 feet on the gauge. The highest water known for years has been registered on the Upper White, tearing out the structure work beneath the massive railroad bridge under construction at Cotter. A further rise of six feet is expected at that point.
 Nor is White alone on this ram page. Black is over the Iron Mountain track for six miles near Poplar Bluff and threatens to augment the flood of White and carry the river far above the danger line in this section.

A CPael Criticism,

She was an amateur artist and, like
most of her kind. considered herself
several laps in advance Of the average
amateur. She was eager, however, to
know how her work would impress one
Of the masters who had managed to
grasp tickle fame by the back Of tho
neck.
One day q real painter called at her
home, and she Immediately conceived
the idea Of teating him. She would
show him q specimen Of her handi-
work. but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as being
the creator thereof.
So the fair amateur proceeded to
guide the real painter toward her mas.
terpiece.
"Of what school would you cali this
paintingT she asked expectantly.
''Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.
And a large dark spot suddenly ap-
Deared on the brilliant future Of ths
fair amateur

year. The reason for that chanpa
which may be considered a decided i'm
proVement is not that the former style
was considered ugly or inartistic. but
1t was dictated by consideration for the
new style of high girdles. which would
become covered up and lose their eff
fectiveness if worn with bapgv fronts
AS already pointed out laces and en-
broideries will be extremely fashion,
able during the coming season. Among
the most popular kinds embroideries
VIII be the English eyelet hole embroid-
cry which, however, has been favo-
rite before this, many years ago. That
kind of embroidery comes in fiouncings
of different widths and unusually hand
some kind, which is rather new in the
market, is called .LImperatrice and
consists of a peculiar combination of
lace with heavy, padded embroidery on
Swiss and nainsook, with an exagger-
ated eyelet effect worked in buttonhole
stitch. Among the laces that will be
worn, Teneriffe lace promises to hold
its own. These laces are very pretty
and can be used in great number of
different ways. One new and rather
attractive idea is. to surround the lace
with embroidered designs in empire
wreaths, flowers or sprays Most of the
laces of that kind now show square
or hexagonal patterns instead of the
round patterns which were so popular
last year. They come in insertions of
different widths, in narrow edgings and
in allovers with galloons to match the
pattern of the lace Mexican drawn
work and other laces, embroideries and
, worked ornaments will also be used to
a certain extent but not quite as much
as last year.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER

NEW YORK. March 19.-The wealth.

toilets. but the fashionable women of
Now York are almost ready for the
onening of the spring season. The sud-
den outburst of spring fashions on
ordinary interest, but this year it
PROMISES to be particularly interesting
owing to the remarkable variety of
beautiful and artistic styles that will
no displayed. Separate waists of wash
material and other materials of ex-
ouisite beauty, but not strong enough
to stand washing, will be worn great
deal as soon as the weather becames
warm enough. Lace of every kind will
enter materially into the making of
these waists and all indications point
to the probability that, at least during
the earlier part of the coming season,
perhaps even later on during hot
weather many Of those lace inserted
waists will be worn over silk or lawn
underslips. The latter offer great adj
yantages, because for cool weather they
furnish little more substance and
warmth than the fiimsy waists without
them would afford and then they give
an excellent opportunity for the intro
ducton for delicate touches Of color to
relieve the monotony Of whites and
creams. that promise to be unusually
popular this season.
There is one thing noticeable in the
many handsome summer waists and
blouses shown in the shops in such
bewildering profusion; it is the fact,
that the blouses and waists Of the COM
ing season will be considerably less
baggy and pulled up in front than last

heavy silk, all over linen lace lined
with satin and later ON pongee are all
favorite materials.
Lace bOleros are all the rage, and
they are simply lined with chiffon,
which renders any lace richer than If
unlined or lined with other materials.
Three quarter length coats are also
smart in lace, and for evening wear n
long coat of lace and chiffon is the
richest material possible.
The little bolero, which Is sleeveless,
is one Of the best ways Of utilizing
remnants of yelling, chiffon, lace, etc.

The Way He Made His Opponent Win
a Case For Him.


Lord Brampton. a famous English
cross examiner, told a story of how he
once won q case on a technical ground
when he had no defense. He forced a
magistrates clerk to be put into the
witness box by the prosecution to
prove a purely formal matter. Now.
having got him there. he cross exam
ined him and made him practically
admit that he lied his magistrates by
the nose:" to admit also thai they had
refused bail by his advice and that a
Judge at chambers had afterward
granted 1t, although the witness had
come up all the way from London to
oppose 1t. Then. asked the cross ex-
anliner, You were in the room. sir.
and did you not hear the learned judge
say there was not q rag of a case
against my unhappy client?' The
prosecuting counsel objected. and 1t
was ruled out. But the jurors had
heard 1t and had heard the answer
stopped. The dissatisfaction thus ad-
duced in their minds made them acquit
the prisoner. Leaving the court that
day. the prisoners counsel asked his
opponent. why did you object to that
question: The latter Indignantly
protested that his adversary when he
asked 1t must have known that 1t
could not be put. Yes. | did," was the
answer: but | knew you. too. and
felt sure that you would object at the
right time. But you should have wait
