with OK teams, the future soldier be-
Ing chosen as the commander Of the
expedition, which was formed in Oma-
ha. There were sixteen men and one
boy In the company, and they had six
OK teams. AS they were about to
cross the Platte river they fell in with
war party Of Pawnee Indians, who
had just been defeated by the Sioux.
They demanded tribute to permit the
white men to continue.
There were about 300 Of them, but
Drake decided to fight. Drake killed
the chief of the Indians with a blow
from his own dubbed gun, and the 9th
ers fed, leaving nine dead. The In
dams had but one gun, apparently a
fowling piece, but most Of brakes par
ty were wounded by arrows.
Drake came back by sea, and at once
made another trip with a drove of cat
tie, which he disposed Of to advantage.
He started back on the steamship
Yankee Blade for Panama. The vessel
was wrecked on the Mexican coast
while racing with the mail steamer
Sonora. Eight hundred Of her passen-
gers were drowned. Drake escaped,
with others, by selling a rowboat from
p1rat1cai sailors, who came to plumber
the wreck.
The survivors lived for five days on
the beach on a portion Of a steer, which
they ate raw, and were then taken off
by passing steamer.
At the outbreak Of the civil war
Gen. Drake, who was then conducting
country store at Unionville, Ia, went
to the front as private and was mus
tered out as brigadier general In 1866,
after having been seriously wounded at
the battle Of Marks Mills, Ark. One
of his brothers, William Henry Harri-
son Drake, an officer of the Second
Iowa Regiment, was killed at Fort
Donelson.
Gen. Drake then turned his attention
to railroad building In his adopted
State, and soon built more than 400
miles, the roads now forming parts Of
great railroad systems. He founded
Drake University in $780, and with
Russell Sage, whose close friend he
was, helped rebuild Iowa College at
Grinnell when 1t was destroyed by a
cyclone in the following year. In many
other philanthropic and charitable en-
terprises he took leading part. From
1896 to 1898 he was Governor Of Iowa,
having been elected on the Republican
ticket. The estate he leaves Is valued
at 100000. He leaves four daugh-
tiers and two sons.

out though the cut usually is OF the Ioos-
est, the scheme of trimming ordinarily is
such that clever handling OF the seem
lngiy shapeless garment is necessitated
1t Will not do to start with carelessly
baggy foundation, just because deal of
trimming Is to go on it.
In less elaborate coats loose models
are numerous, and the finish shows orig
inality. The latter statement is true in
such degree that it is difficult, indeed. to
secure simple garment of sufficient in
dividuality to appear as of the new
styles. The coats and wraps that are
not grand are finely contrived. Some Of
these are sketched here. In the first pic
ture is coat of dark brown broadcloth,
its stole and cape effect ornamented with
shaped pieces of light tan cloth appli-
Qued on and finished with brown silk
fringe. In the next illustration is coat
Of blue zibelline trimmed with tan cloth
embroidered with tan cord. And in the
concluding. picture is a black broadcloth
coat fancifully self-banded. Coats of
this last ones general sort are often
made individual by ornamentation of the
seams. .Strappings are various for this
purpose. They are left with raw edge
when the material warrants such treat
ment. In elaborate coats seam finish
takes many fanciful and ornate FORMS
The sloping shoulder is quite as impor-
tant a matter as ever. Some of last
seasons models seemed highly exagger-
ated in this respect, and limited that the
end Of this fashion was near. But for
once the exaggeration did not foretell

on dress goods. In the latter manner
much Of this establishment is very strik-
ing. An ermine jacket finished with
black silk cord and ornaments in liberal
supply will stand out as new, you may
depend. What is Fastening the replac
ing of two-fur combinations is the oppor-
tunity they give for making good use OF
any old furs. This stands for econom-
izing, though making over in furs is cost
~ business enough, but the out and out
stylish affair in peltry must be free from
all such suspicion, according to those who
set fashions. In millinery. fur trimmed
hats are many, and the amount of fur
to the hat is considerable, but rarely is
the all fur hat seen, as they are deemed
suitable only for severe weather. The
light colored furs have the call for head
wear, ermine, mole, chinchilla and squir-
rel all ranking as stylish.
Goats are so deliberately made that the

to spent at least $4,000 on the struc-
ture. He was destined not to see the
fulhllment Of his plans. He died while
the decorators were at work on the
interior Of the building. His pet dog,
an animal Of which he was extremely
fond, died at about the same time.
Williams did not leave any directions
regarding the furtherance of his plans,
nor state what disposition should be
made Of the remains, so the widow
took the reins In her own hands. Work
ON the church was stopped and the
doors were closed.
This church," she said, Shall never
be used as place Of worship. 1t shall
stand just as 1t is-a monument to
my dead husband"
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him, for his love for the animal
amounted to a passion. The dog had
been his constant companion in life,
and In death they were not to be d.
Vided There Is no sexton or keeper in
charge Of the church, and it has con-

hangs from the beams, and the steps

Amusing Sick Children.

Those who have had the care of a
sick child through long, weary weeks
of a slow recovery will understand
why most mothers are glad Of sugges-
lions which may help to pass the hours
pleasantly and protltably, and yet not
tax the little invalid beyond his
strength.
In many of the current magazines
are well-printed reproductions of works
of art. These may be utilized by an
older child in making pretty ornaments
for the walls of the nursery. A long
strip of heavy paper with all sorts and
kinds Of animals is not only interest
ing, but instructive; or a yard of cats
or dogs alone will make surprising
display. A margin around each pic
ture adds much to the effectiveness.
Cartrtdge-paper may be bought by the
yard, and Is especially pretty in red or
green to use for background
Whatever is given child for amuse-
ment should require as little mental
strain as possible, and the materials
should be Of light weight. If the child
becomes tired Of one occupation, try
something different, and under no con-
dition let him realize that you are try
ing to amuse him for the purpose Of
keeping him quiet; for If he finds out
that the joy Is not yours as well as
his, much Of his pleasure will be lost.

CHURCH is HIS MONUMENT,

Built for Religion, It Il Now a sepuI-
cher for Man and Dog.
On the coast near Santa Barbara, In
the small town Of Naples, Is a substan
TALLY built church that has never beer
used for any other purpose than as q
sepulcher for man and a dog. The
dogs name does not appear in the
dedication plate, but his body lies be
side that Of his master In the mauso,
leum back of the church. The inscrip
ton on the plate over the door Of the
church reads:
This church is erected to the glory
of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, and
in memory Of the founder of Naples
John H. Williams"
Naples has been without a church
ever since it was founded, and the lack
was a source of considerable regret to
a number Of its citizens. In good time
the omnipresent philanthropist arose
in their midst and said that he would
build a church and present 1t to the
town. This man was the founder, Johr
81. Williams. He had a good deal
Of trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot of shingles was
so bad that it could not be used, and
the builder decided to send to Europe
for a fresh supply. He was a man Of
considerable wealth and had arranged

much more of it. Were there only a few
set ways of attaining it, the notion would
have become tiresome long ago. but it is
secured in so many widely different
ways that there's no sameness to it. So
stylish women go on appearing shoulder
less, and each woman in nearly her own
particular way. 1t is in this great oppor-
tunity for individuality that the hold of
the fancy OH women's favor lies. Then
the follower of the idea need not accept
an advanced form of it, for there are
numerous moderate responses to the
style. The costumes remaining in to-
days illustrations present it variously.
In the model at the middle of the second
picture it comes in an extension on to the
shoulder of the yoke. This gown was
gray mixed suiting and black cord. Be
side it is an example of slope gained
through cape, frequent resort, espe-
cially in pronounced models. Fuchsia
venetian, black cord and chenille fringe
were the materials here. In the next
picture is an odd bertha effect, recalling
the occasional evening gown that makes

What a Clever Woman Can Do.


What woman can do" is thus
summed up by an observing English
man: "a woman can hold her tongue.
She can be sure Of her facts before
saying, I'm just as positive as can
be- She can say, 1T is very warm
to-day instead Of oh, it was SO fright
fully hot, I nearly died. She can ad-
m1re another woman's stylish hat with
out signing, L wish it were mine She
can conquer her husband by chiding
him when he Is in q lamblike humor.
She can use the metric system in cook
Ing instead Of 'teaspoonfuls' She can
make up menu with regard to pro
teids' instead Of irrationally giving
John the indigestible things he likes.
She can shut her lips tight when she's
just as mad as she can be- She can
surprise her husband by presenting
him with couple Of sovereigns saved
from housekeeping, without immedi-
ately asking for a new three-euinea
coat. She can love and not be Jealous.
She can reason. Yes, indeed, she can.
She can separate business and feeling.
She can regard things and people from
dispasslonate, impersonal standpoint

her mind without neglecting her per-
sonal appearance. She can Loyalty re-
frain from speaking ill of any other
woman. She can love her children and
not talk baby to them. OF course, she

For the Dressing TabIe

II the odor is not unpleasant to your
family or yourself, keep a small glass
bottle on your dressing table contain
ing camphor. A few drops applied ev-
cry three or four hours Will effectrslly
check a cold sore; and il you have
fears that your breath is not quite
sweet, a few drops in a glass of water
used to rinse the mouth will impart
a pleasant freshness and remove any
trace of odor.
Another desirable accessory to the
dressing table is a tincture of benzoin,
a few drops in warm water making a
pleasant gargle for sore throat, while
every woman knows of its softening
and bleaching qualities when used
(greatly diluted) on the hands. Witch
hazel or arnica should be in every
medicine cabinet to apply to cuts and
bruises. A pieces Of pumice stone will
be found a great convenience in re-
moving stains and callouses from the
hands.
Alcohol and borax are most essential
to a we'll equipped dressing table, while
vaseline or olive oil is one Of the ne
cessaries.

PAWNEE BILLS SHOW

at the hands of the American Congress
sem to perrnit of no abandonment until
complied with.

land of Oklahoma was pubic domain and
eihotiId he he ID by the people. for the peo-
pie. ard was certain that the wealthy cat
tlemen who at that timS controlled 1t had
no just claim to ownership or control. He
became the chosen recognized leader Of
the oklahoma boomers and led five thous-
and kindred spirits into the promised land
when the land was opened up TO actual
settlers. At the mouth of Turkey Creek,
ahs modest magnetic man of the people
located his own claim. from which has
arisen the thriving and bustling commu-
nifty charted upon the maps as Pawnee
City. -Four railroads already have entrance
there and others are seeking to do so. IT
IS a growing agricultura, and commercial
centre and point Of distribution and its re-
markable growth IS a splendid trlbute to
the judgment .of the man who bid the city
rise from the plains. Major Lilies inter
ests there ana throughout the teffAuory
are many and varied. He is president OF
the Arkansas Valley National Bank, POS
sesses large resd estate holdings and is
altogether a force TO be reckoned with
in anything which may pertain to the well
fare and progress Of territory rich in
resources and i'm the Americanism of its
peopse. He has several times refused
political prefermcnt, content to remair
a private citizen amongst the people h'
knows and loves so well.
The enteN Nainment which bears his name
and is TO appear here next Tuesday, has
been greatly enlarged and augmented fol
this season. and is claimed TO be the onl!
realistic frontier exhibition now before
the American public.
