MEMS SUMMER STYLES.
some OF tho Details OF Dress For
Warm Weather.

some of tho Details OF Dress For
Warm Weather.
The cardinal requirement Of summer
dress for men is that 1t shall feel cool
and look cool, says writer in the
Haberdasher. Suits will be fashioned
Of the pliable homespuns, tweeds and
hannels and the perennially servicea-
bic serges. These are made up into
double and single breasted suits, with
jackets cut like an inverted pear so
as to look broad across the shoulders
and narrow across the hips. They are
n full inch longer than last season.
The military cut is out of it. Collars
on jackets are straight and narrow,
with low notch and long, slim lapels.
The upper class tailors this season
put side straps on trousers in addition
to belt loops. These side straps enable
one to dispense with the buckle in the
back, making that part perfectly plain
and preventing trousers from gather
ing in unsightly creases and interfer-
ing with the smooth adjustment of the
belt. AS heretofore, trousers will be
turned up at the bottom, but do not
advise permanent turn-ups. These look
unnatural, particularly when they are
ironed in fat, precise manner. Sim
ply fold the trousers up and do not
have them pressed at all at the bottom.
When permanent turn-ups are used the
trousers are cut one inch longer
The fold collar will come into its own
again, russet boots will be much worn,
ties Will replace four-in-hands in a
great measure, belts will be of black
calf or tan pigskin an inch wide, hose
will be brown or gray, hats will be of
rough straw and have ribbons not too
highly colored, handkerchiefs will be
white, with bright borders in colors,
and narrow leather strips will be used
In place of watch chains.

statement Of q Green.

The reader can hardly doubt the evil
dence which follows. The statement
given here comes from Greenville resi-
dent, and can easily be proven If YOU
are skeptical, investigate.
John M. Cureton, farmer and survey
or, of Greenville, s. c., says; "I have
given Doan's Kidney Pills a fair trial
and can recommend them verv highly.
| used them for kidney complaint. and
difficulty with the kidney secretions
from which suffered for a number of
years: The secretions were very dark,
full of sediment; and greatly disturbed
my rest nights. compelling me to rise as
often as four or five times NV back
has also annoyed me greatly with very
severe pains right across the loins. I
tried number of remedies, but all
without relief. I was attracted by adj
vertisements of Doan's Kidney Pills
and got box at drug store, and from
their use experienced decided and
almost immediate change for the better.
Since then the secretions from the kid
neys have become natural, and the sed-
iment disappeared, while my rest at
night is undisturbed There has not
been II return of the backache since us

Amen"
To Albert, student Of Voltafre, of
Hume, Of Paine, and an admirer of
Ingersoll, doubter of Scriptural au-
thenticity and almost q materialist in
belief, this weird and plteous utterance
came with peculiar effect.
When the prayer meeting was con-
cluded with an oddly spoken benedic-
ton by Deacon Oaks, and Albert and
Telly were on their way back to the
point, Albert asked:
who was the poor old lady that
prayed so feryently? 1 never heard
anything like it since was n boy"
"Oh, that's the Widow Leach" Telly
responded. "She always acts that way
and feels so, too, l guess. She is an
object Of pity here and very poor
She has no relation living that she
knows of, lives alone in q small house

Her husband and two sons were lost
at sea many years ago, and father says

Does she always pray as feryently
as she did tonightr'
"Oh, yes; that's her way. Father
says she is little cracked about such
matters. He pities her, though, and
helps her good deal, and so does
most every one else here who can.
She needs it." Then, after a pause,
she added, "How did you enjoy the
meeting, Mr.. Page"
"Well," replied Albert slowly and
mentally contrasting it with many Sun
day services when he had occupied q
pew with the Nasons at their fashion
able church in Boston, ut has been an
experience l shall not soon forget. In
one way it has been a pleasure, for it
has taken me back to my young days"
Then he added y little sadly, "It has
also been a pain, for it recalled my
mother and how she used to pray that I
might grow to be q good man."

responded Telly at once, looking curl
ously at him.

Hiawatha on Gardens.

"Rake and hoe! said Iiawatha,
Rake and hoe, you hustling husbands,
In the gay suburban districts.
Fix your little beds of lettuce,
Cultivate the spicy radish.
Plant the Perfume Kiss, the onion,
And the tender little bcanlet.
By the way, my little children,
Have you ever made Il garden?
Have you ever hoed and Spaded
Till your backs were nearly broken7
There is an ecstasy in digging,
There is rapture in Upturning
All the fertile sand and gravel
Out behind the summer kitchen.
There Is joy in planting fodder
For the kill 'cm quick, the cutworm.
First you dicker with the grocer
For the cunning little seedlets,
And the grocer cannot fool you,
For the catalogues you've studied
Ever since the first of April.
Then you sneak behind the wood shed
With the first gray flush Of morning,
Peel your coat and seize a shovel,
Make bed eighteen by twenty,
Or perhaps little longer,
Mix little fertilizer

With the sand. to make 1t mellow;
Then mark Off some tiny trenches,
Not too far apart. remember
And deposit in the trenches
All the seed, and close them over

administrators Of the estate Of James
William Kenney, asking that they be
restrained from transferring or dis.
posing Of the policy or instituting
action at law while the injunction
suit is pending, and that they be
brought into court and compelled to
surrender the policy.
The plaintiff states that on May 2
last James Kenney applied for an in-
surance policy of $4,000, representing
that he was in good health, but that
at the time the policy was delivered
Mr.. Kenney was afflicted with a
mortal illness, from which he died
June IL. The plaintiff claims that
the defendants knew that Mr.. Kenney
was in i'll health at the time he made
application for the policy.
The point Of interest in the case
consists in the fact tnat policies Of
this company contain a clause declar
claring the contract incontesti ble

5000 Miles in a House Boat

Nearly four months ago, May 2,
Louis Robinson, trapper, and his
son, Wilburn, set out from Benton,
Montana, in house boat for Arkan-
sas. Robinson had trapped 10 Mon
tana since just after the war between
the states, but was going to Arkansas
TO locate. With him he had brought
a part Of last winters game-a live
fox and mountain lion and a mounted
cugar which he hoped to dispose OF
on the way down. Two weeks ago
he landed at Lexington, having
covered a distance Of over 5000
miles, and determined to go on to
st. Louis alone to sell his animals.
He left his son here to care for them.
Nothing has been heard of him since
and it is feared that he has met with
some fatal accident. In the mean.
time the son is working on the ferry
while the fox chained to the PROV Of
the house boat keeps a restless vigi
over his masters property.
