he will conduct wholesale and re-
tail -four and feed store. He will
handle posts in connection, and has
a fine assortment in stock now.
"Bosco" Elder won the horse
put up by "Pete" Sullivan. Of
course it is better to be born lucky

has two of these gifts, and if the
wheat crop turns out favorably he
will have the other.
Boone Guyer, who has been a
very efficient section foreman at this
place for several years, has been
transferred to Arlington. Mr.. Nor
gan from that point has taken his
place here. Will Sandy has also
moved to Arlington and will assist

Island from going to pieces.
Again we are reminded of the
adage, Truth is stranger than ic-
ton" The mysterious disappear
ance of E. G. Russell Berkau, who
vanished completely some two weeks
ago, was explained Sunday when he
returned from the green fields OF
Virginia, bringing with him the
choicest flower of that southern
cline. Previous to adopting the
more euphonious name of Berkau,
she signed it Laura Dean. Here is
wishing Russell and Laura, that al

yon and the sunshine of happines:

the smoke wreaths of this ten center
we are smoking on you.

A Fur Imitation.
ApropOs of wiry bear, this pelt-sounding
title is only the name of one of the several
materials which initiate fur. A large wav-
ing of the hairy surface gives it the appear
arce of some qualities of baby lamb, and
the long and short coats made of it have
the modish clumsness of genuine fur gar
ments. Black panne is likewise crinkled to
simulate baby lamb, and despite the ex-

These imitation fur stuffs however,
though new to this period. are not new To
the cycle of fashion. Some of them were
seen in the sixties under other names, and
then was introduced the odd Scalloping now
employed on some of the French coats and
fur sets in moleskin. A short moieskin

Medicinal Baths.

Here is simple and available recipe
"a medicinal bath for the nervously worn
and those who cannot sleep o. nights. 1t
was the prescription of an old physician.
Recipe: Take of sea salt four ounces spirits
of ammonia two ounces, spirits of cam
phor two ounces, of pure alcohol eight
ounces and sufficient hot water to make a
full quart of the liquid. Dissolve the sea
salt in the hot water and let stand until
cool Pour into the alcohol the spirits of
ammonia and camphor. Add the salt
water, shake well, and bottle for use With
soft sponge dipped in this mixture wet
over the surface of the whole body Rub
vigorously until the skin CLOVIS. When
nervous or blue" or wakeful do not omit
this bath. The rest and refreshing that fol-
low will amply repay the effort required to
prepare it.

A Virtue of Necessity.

A charming idea is to line a FIR cravat
with quillings of chiffon. amid which is
placed a tiny pocket just large enough to
hold small handkerchief. This fashion
is really useful expedient, as the present
day costume has no pocket. The high,
shapely belt or vest peeping out from be-
meath the straight Jacket fronts or bolero
lapels need not be made unshapely by tuck
ing a handkerchief inside the corsage. Be-
meath the cravat 1t Is unseen and at the
same time is exceptionally handy. An err
mine cravat with quillings of cream or
white mnusseline would be very attractive
hiding place for the pocket.

A Device for Picture Hanging.

A device for hanging a group of small
framed pictures consists of a small bar
with brass-tipped ends. This is hung from
the high picture molding of the wall, and
the small pictures are suspended from it,
attached by brass chains. This continuance
obviates the necessity of driving nails INTO
the wall.
