the way of wearing It, These can he
overcome, however, If the accessory is

to ride upafin a mass Of folds at the

effect.
To obvlate this, one girl experimental

ovcrcame the difficulty. She folded a
perfect square of muslin diagonally, as
iif she were going to place 1t about her

One piece was folded again, but this
time 1t was a lengtnwise fold. which was
cut Out about four inches, and curved
to fit the neck. The point of one ficllu
was left In this effect; the other was
curved. This solved the flchu problem,
for when it was draped over her Shout

A Great Barrier.

What would you think of a man if
he were to attach loaded wagon to a
race horse as it went upon the track
and then expect the animal to win?
Yet some young men burden them
selves with debt just as they enter the
race of life, and hope to achieve sue
cess. Failure is their portion in most
!, instances. Apart from drinking and
gambling there is no greater barrier
than debt 1t is hard enough to win
| unhampered; almost impossible when
/ burdened by debt. But in speaking of
debt, it might be well to draw some
ltinctions though it Is pretty well
understood that when used in this
connection, it refers to mourning obi
cations for the qualification OF the
appetite for pleasure, for personal
adornment and the like-obligatlons
that constitute at once drain upon
your future earning capacity Debts
of this character must, of course, be
distinguished from the debt made with
a view to profit. The young man OF
limited income who makes bill OF
500 at tailor shop will soon wear
the clothes out and will have nothing
to show but frequent bills. On the
her hand. the young man who buys
a bit of land and goes in debt to the
amount of $40 will always have some
thing to show in justification of the
liability, and he stands good chance
to make profit out of it. At any
rate, he will not cause the man who
trusted him to suffer, for the land can
be returned if he is unable to pay for |
it, In brief, the assumption OF reason
able liabilities with view to profit is
often not only justifiable, but is praise
worthy, but the debts that grow out
of extravaganza and vanity can not De

PEOPLE end THINGS.

Quite a good deal of excitement was

young man of the city was walking

as he got even with the large doors IN

look into the store. Far back in tn
rear he saw by the dim light of one of
the small incandescent lights the figure
OF a man moving about with something
in his arms. A burglar was the
thought that flashed through the
young mans mind, and rushing
around the corner he raised the

and shortly quite crowd have az

the figure in the store had ceased to
move around, but il was known that
he was still inside, as a guard had
been keeping watch while the alarm
was raised. The crowd was divided
and stationed in squads at every door,
both front and rear. Then two stall

store, opened the door and entered

Mr.. Padgett's Opponents.

Col. Arch Hughes will probably
make the race for Congress for the
purpose OF getting in touch with the
Federal pie counter. Arch, like nearly
all the other active Republicans in
Tennessee, is not moved by spirit
of party patriotism to make the sacrl-
flee, but fol the leverage it may give
MIN with the powers that be at Wash
ington. Mr.. Dodson, of CO.
lumbia, will find this bad year for
independents. Just what he expects
in opposing Congressman Padgett is
difficult to divine. Padgett
can beat two opponents easier than
one, hence he is not perturbed over the
prospect of having two after him. The
Democrats will see that they are taken
care of by piling heavy adverse ma
iorities upon them. Hickman County

Fearful Battle With a RattIesnake

From Luverne, Ala, comes an ac-
count of terrific encounter between
Adam b.. Parks and an enormous
rattler. The RATHER measured nine
inches in circumference anG was six
feet long. Mr.. Parks encountering the
snake in the road tried to kill it with a
STICK. The snake advanced on him and
wrapped. itself about his legs, throwing
him to the ground. Mr.. Parks lost his
club as he fell but grssped the snake
behind the head with both hands.
He arose with the snake and again fell
to the ground, weak from the struggle,
but held to the head of the snake and
again succeeded in choking It. He was
not bit 10 the struggle, but has been con-
fined to bed from weakness since the en-
