Newest Ideas in Yokes.

Quite the newest thing in yoke is
the square outline, although many pre-
fer to cling to the pointed yoke, find
ing it more becoming. The yokes are
made Of lace or eyelet embroidery
with stock attached. The square yoke
has also made its appearance on the
strictly tailor-made suits. Here, how
ever, it is made up of starched chemi-
settle order, with upright collar, such
as used to be worn exclusively with
severe shirtwaists half a dozen years
ago.
At the front of the collar on each
corner are embroidered beautiful mo-
tives, such as flowers, butterflies or a
design in eyelet embroidery. This
gives a truly feminine touch on so
uncompromisingly stiff an affair.
To state what colors are to be worn
is impossible. There is a perfect
craze for vivid shades of yellow and
orange, which comes under the name
Of coque-de-roche. A touch of 1t is
generally f1attering to the face, its
brilliant coloring often bringing out
hidden charms of color in complexion,
hair and eyes.

a Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, Ky, Nov. 2S.-(Special.)-
It has long been claimed that Diabe-

has pleasing evidence to the contrary.
Mr.. Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
l had Diabetes and there was little
to be done for me. Then / started
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. 1t
is entirely owing to Dodds Kidney
Pills that l am now enjoying good
health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is a kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

On New Years day Laro left New
Orleans for France; and when, seven
months later, he sailed away from
Toulon, bound for the coast of Bar
barry, with him were Jean and Pierre
Lafitte.
The purposes of this story require
but a general reference to Jean La
fitte's life during the fifteen years
which ensued after he left the country
of his birth, and linked his fortunes
into those of Laro.
He was then a lad Of fifteen. And,
until he arose above the consequences
his needless youth had imposed upon
his better self, his life was passed
ashore and afioat, as best served the
immediate interests at stake; at
times taken up by the cares and re-
sponsibilities Of legitimate business, at
times passed amid scenes of widest
adventure and deadly peril. He,
while growing to manhood, alternated
between the counting-room and the
quarterback, associating now with
again with desperadoes and cut
threats.
During this period, Laro-known in
New Orleans as Don Morales de Cas-
tro-was In connection with Count de
CaZeneau and other more or less
prominent men, engaged in various
speculative schemes, some Of them he

Of it. The former included ventures
in trading, mining and Underwriting,
whilst among the latter were Snug
Cling and slave-trading. These opera
tons involved the ownership of many
vessels, together with the employment
Of many men, and, taken as a whole,
they were very successful.
Smuggling and slave-trading ha3
always been within the line of Laro's
occupations, and they were matters
to which he gave his personal atten-
ton, making many voyages to and
from the French and African coasts.
Then latterly, in addition to his
other nefarious pursuits, and under
cover of letters of marque issued by
one or another of the newly formed
South American republics, he preyed
lawlessly upon whatever commerce
came within his reach.

Ribbon cuffs are a novel feature OF

A lovely creation in biscuit broad

shows the very broad sleeves to be
gathered into correspondingly broad
cuffs. And these cuffs are of ribbon.
OF the very broad ribbon but one
width is required, the pretty, figured
stuff being draped down to width of
five inches. In this way nearly three
fourths Of yard would be required
for each sleeve. The delicate green's

He Couldn't "Ro'."
While on trip through the sparsely
settled districts of Georgia a North
erner hired a colored native to guide
him across country to his destination.
Reaching the banks of a swift-fowing,
unbridged stream, the Northern man
spotted a boat moored at the edge,
and asked the negro if he could row.

rowed him swiftly and surely over the
turbulent stream to the other side,
proving himself an experienced oars

Down upon the river hidden away
