SOLDIERS WIDOW IN WANT.
Pathetic Appeal for Help Made to
Russian Government.

In the face of some of the stories
which are coming from st. Peters
burg, 1t is probable that If the car
should issue a pension order it would
not be met with fault-fnding vol
ley. A dispatch says that when a Rus
sian officer is killed all payments to
his family are stopped. The widow
of lieutenant colonel slain at Lioa-
yang has been obliged to make an
appeal for bread for herself and sew
en- children. The country that doesn't
look after the widows and orphans
OF it's dead heroes holds patriotism
cheap. No country gives support to
the dependent ones commensurate
with the service rendered by the sol
dier who dies in battle, but few coun-
tries are so lost to gratitude that they
allow the orphans cry for bread to
pass UNDECIDED. II has been limited
that there is a lack of heart on the
part of the cars men in the present
conflict. II is more than possible that
one reason for the halfheartedness In
the fight may be found in this widows
appeal Chicago Post.

"TIe that overcometh shall inherit all

One time the sea was wide-so wide
That men declared
No one could find it, further side
Yet one man dared;
one man who dreamed Of things 10 DO.
one man who fought his doubling crew
And ventured till his dreams came true.
Then others Jared
His way, til al the sea might hide
Their work had barred.
One time the plains we're duh and stfll
And all untrod.
And men gazed at each distant hill
With doubling nod
But one man braved the lonely miles,

Men went his way in eager files:

Upon the sod.

ing and there will be little fishing in
the Fox river next spring by the
angler who waits for the fish to find
his hook and sinker.
] The prize haul was taken out near
the Yorkville ice houses yesterday AT.
| ternoon about 3 o'clock, when one
scoop Of the great seine brought in no
less than 1900 pounds of Hopping
scaly fish. Some of the carp weighed
as high as eight pounds, there were
number of five-pound size and the ma
jority would weigh from two to four
pounds. 49,
| In the haul were number of fine
black bass weighing from three to five
! pounds. These were put back into
| the stream, at least those caught
| while there were witnesses around. A
few pickrel and one or.two pike were
also in the catch The bass and pick
erel, as actice and hard to net as they
are in the summer time, are. as easily
scoOped up as the more sluggish fish
at this time, when the water is cold.
When picked up in the hand they lie
perfectly quiet and Indifferent TO their
fate In summer when a net is being
hauled in the bass will in nearly every
instance jump over the top edge when
they find themselves cornered and es-
cape.
AS plentiful as are turtles in the
river, none are caught in the seine,
as those hard-shelled creatures are at
this time of the year buried deep in
the mud of the river bottom. Eels and
cat fish, too, are half buried in the
mud, and few of them get scooped
out in the nets, A few buffalo fish are
caught, and occasionally big red
horse is among the captives.
The average haul of the big seine
nets about 400 pounds of fish. Some
times the cast is rewarded with only
two or three specimens and again
with varying success, and an OCCASION
al big haul like the one yesterday af
ternoon keeps the average up.
The fish as fast as caught are put
in big circular liye-net and left il
the river until the fishermen are
ready to ship them to Chicago. They
will be shipped in fish barrels, by ex
press, SO that they will be alive when
they reach Chicago, and can be kept
in large storage tanks there until
they are wanted for the market. Tho
carp are worth three cents a pound
in the wholesale market, and there is
considerable demand for them in
the East, where they are held in high
er esteem than they are here. In Del

nos carp rank on the bill of fare along
with mackerel and bass.

with great interest by large crowds

Some of Them Are That Way.

Stories have been told of the old.

In carriages and held boats at the
wharf while they went up town to get
a drink Others refused TO go out on
boats because the menu did not suit
them. aud for other paliry and trivial
excuses. all tending to show the very
large development Of self-esteem
which was made possible by the large
amounts which were paid for their
services. II is a popular idea that
there are none of these kinds of pilots
left, but there is a story going the
rounds among Cairo pilots, which
proves to the contrary. 1t is said
but The Bulletin does not vouch for it,
that a certain young pilot of this city
was called on TO take q show boal
down the river last summer He went
aboard the boat and was met by the
captain. who said: 'Weil, we are

pilot, Il don't know whether | want 10

him around and showed him the ice

another. Have you chicken coop ON

Fancy Cuffs for Shirt Waists.

Most of the shirt waists, unless of the
mannish type, have dainty little cuffs to
match the turnover collar worn at the
neck.
There Is a wide gulf fixed between the
luncheon and afternoon waist, with the
sleeves in most cases as a determining fac
tor. The waist designed for morning wear
has very simple sleeve. while the after
noon blouse has a perfect balloon of a
sleeve. Both, however, depend for chic
and daintiness upon the cuff and collar
An attractive little collar and cuff set
which will give caehet to simple waist is
made of Swiss embroidery and Valencennes
lace. The cuffs are four inches wide and
fasten with tiny crochet buttons and
loops.
Another pretty set is evolved from footing
and linen batiste put together with feather
stitching and finished with ruffies Of wide
footing at the hand.
Sets made of crash or filet net worked in
Russian cross stitch are very durable and
becoming. A feminine wit has dubbed these
collars and cuffs the God Bless Our Home
sets. And they do recall in general make
up the notices one used to see hung promf-
nently in homes decade ago.

sertion
For waist decoration fashion knows no
law. The chief object is to give width to
the sloping shoulders by means of lace and
frills forming deep yoke which comes
out over the full sleeves. White batiste
frocks will have a great popularity. The
skirts will be trimmed to the knees with
lace medallions, and the finest batiste en-
broideries combined in some instances with
a narrow insertion of Valenciennes lace
through which ribbon is threaded. The
baby bodices have batiste and face-inserted
yokes outlined with a bertha of lace
trimmed batfste. The sleeves reach to the
elbow and end in a series of very full
ruff1es.
The plated skirt is still to reign supreme
on. tailor-mades. The newest models show
the familiar yoke simulated by the cut
itself rather than an extra piece sewed on
the skirt. From below this disguised yoke
on the hips the plaits are set in on each
gore. The skirt clears the ground two
inches. which is the approved length for
walking and morning wear
Boleros and short, tight-fitting coats re-
iieved with braid and little velvet are the
prevailing styles for tailor jackets, and,
with their broad dropping shoulder effects,
are extremely becoming.
The Separate Waist.
We hear from season to season that the
separate waist is doomed to be dropped
from fashions list. The number of spring
models daily to be seen in the shops proves
that the time is not yet. A useful and at
tractive blouse is one of dotted black crepe
de chine with supplied fronts, yoke outline,
sleeve trimming and cuffs of white lace in
sert1on. the shaped empiecement and
high standing collar being of "all-over''
cream lace. White ribbon fagoted together
forms shoulder trimming in front and
shallow yoke in the back. The fulIneSS
in both waist and sleeves comes from small
unstitched plaits A white silk blouse hav-
ing two deep collars trimmed with tur-
quoise velvet bows and lace is simple and
dainty Stirring plays an important part
on the dreSsy wais 5, which almost invaria-
bly, fasten up the back. An attractive
method of using bordered ma erial for
shirt waist is to form bretelleS of the trim
ming crossed near the throat with but
toned band of border trimming, which also
forms line down the sleeves.
II is not possible at this time of the year
to lay down hard and fast rules about mil
linery, for it generally happens that some
celebrated mondaine appears later in an
entirely new shape which Immediately be-
comes the rage. But for morning wear in
