the agent would allow him $40 or SIS

buggy in perfect condition, one that
never ratified and was in no danger Of

"In ten years he spent on vehicles
about two-thirds as much as his father
used to spend, and the old man always
had something the matter with his

What became of the old buggies?
Well, down there they were sold to the
colored people. Thrifty colored men

NEW WORKERS MISS FUN
Buggy Riding Is INDUCED In But
Little by the Young
Couples.

"There!" said the adopted New York.
er, as q buggy passed up Fifth avenue
with young man and q young woman
within, relates the Sun, there is sight
you don't often see in town. l suppose
buggy riding 10 not a popular form OF
amusement in New York. 1t must be
too expensive for most Of u.
when was down in the country this
summer l found that buggy riding was
still much what 1t used to be. The girls
came out on the front porches between
four and Ave o'clock in the afternoon,
clad In gay light gowns that nuttered
with ribbons. They all sat In rocking
chairs, and as they rocked their ribbons
flew about 30 that l could not help feel
ing that they acted almost as signals.
after the girls had got well started
to rocking the young fellows began
driving up and down the village street
in shiny new buggies with sleek horses
and whips adorned with ribbons. The
ribbons, l learned, were the gift Of the
girls. Every now and then shiny bug
gy would stop in front of one Of the
porches, and before you could think
what was happening one Of the girls
would be whisked of for drive.
Some OF the young men wore dust
ers,' an ugly garment that had hardly
seen in 20 years. Mostly the girls came
back to the porches in time for the six
o'clock supper. suppose II there had
been a moon q great deal Of the buggy
riding would have been done after
nightfall.
zone thing has changed, though, in
the matter Of the country buggy; the
young fellows buy It good deal cheaper
than their fathers bought theirs. A
good buggy used to cost from S175 to
$3.50. II was often made by the local
wheelvright or by carriage manufac-
turer in the nearest town. When II
got out of order II was repaired, and
when its paint began to look I'll II was
repainted Buggy owners used to pay
$50 or $50 TO have their buggies put in
perfect order, and II used TO be said that
such . buggy, fresh from the repair
shop. was a. good ss new. A buggy
would last ten years or more.
Il asked one Of the young men down |
IN the village what q good buggy cost,

NOVEL CUSHIONS FOR SOFA
Special Designs for Both Useful and
Ornamental Purposes
Here Given.

There are pillows for show and
pillows for utility In abundance shown
In the shop windows. To the former
class belong those which seem to be
most popular and an eccentric craze
for the bizarre In decorating these
pillows is the latest idea. Instead Of
using cord and tassels to give the de-
sired finish all sorts of odd ornaments
are conspicuously employed, and the
corners appear grotesque, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
A white satin pillow with q ping
pong table and an almond eyed maiden
at each end Of 1t has tiny ping-pong
balls hanging from the corners on
slender gilt cords.
Another pillow shows an athletic
maid at one Of her favorlte out-ef-door
sports. Each corner NJ the pillow has
a cluster OF miniature tennis racquets
depending therefrom. A coy corner
cushion is of green burlap, embroid-
cred in red. The design is Of clusters
of cherries. The realism Of this pillow
is further carried out by having the
corners finished with large punches Of
natural looking velvet cherries on
green wire stem.
For yachting there are special cush-
ions. Ore made Of green denim has
coil Of rope. an anchor, and a pretty
yachting girl on it. The edge is
finished with a manila rope. which is
knotted at the corners, and from which
hang tiny Indian canoes and paddles.
Marine pillows have sea shell orna-
ments at the corners, and some are
quantity pretty. even if they are not
practical
A Japanese sofa pillow, which shows
a pagoda design, has the corners hn-
ished with little Jap dolls, three In a
group.

WAY DOWN SOUTH.

To the Reflector:
DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 49, an

cotton, cinnamon seeds and sandy
bottom" 1 have seen plenty Of cot
ton and sandy bottoms but NO CHINA
mon seeds. From Oklahoma south
cotton is indeed the great staple pro-
duct. No wonder that Texas regards
the boil weevil as even q greater evil
than a Republican administration.
1t has been a splendid fall for gather
ing cotton but there are still many
fields white for the harvest. At q
cotton compress at Chickasha are
stored about 1000 bales representing
value Of over 100000. Tn cotton
business in the territories seems to be
handled principally by southern men
although there is some Kansas capital
in the company operating at Chick
asha which has IS gins and several
congresses and oil-mills.
A little more than ten years ago
cotton seed was considered waste
product and was thrown away. Now
the cotton.gin operator separates and
bales the cotton and pays the pro-
Queer something in addition for the
privilege Of retaining the seed.
The cotton seed is re-ginned, forty
pounds Of second grade cotton being
taken off each ton. The seed is then
crushed and the meal separated from
the bulls. 1t is then steamed and
put under pressure Of $500 pounds
to extract the oil. 1t comes out Of
the presses in hard cakes about the
sizs OF q door-mat and commercially
known as oil cake. These cakes are
then broken up and ground into oil
meal which is sacked for shipments
The meal obtained from q ton Of seed
10 worth this season about the same
as the oil extracted, selling to cattle
feeders at about the same price as
corn chop. The bulls with some oil
meal sprinkled on them are fed to
cattle in place OF hay or other rough
feed.
The principal market for the oil is
with the packing companies which
use 1t in the manufacture Of lard,
cottolene and butterine. 1t is also
used % q base for some lubricating
oils, in manufacturing second grade
castor oil and is even found in olive
oil.

COSTLY BED FOR
HAW AIIAN PRINCESS
Made from Rarest Wood Of the
Islands, Exquisitely Carved
Will Cost Thousands.

Honolulu, Dec. PA bed which ex-
ceeds in costliness and lavishness the
most pretentious dreams of even the
old Hawaiian rulers, has just been COM
pleted for the Princess Kawananakoa.
1t is made Of koa wood, one Of the two
rare kinds of these islands. The cost
Of the bed, aside from any Of the ex-
pensive fittings, will be close onto
$4,000. It is a ,four-post couch, the
posts being; nearly ten feet in height.
They originally were eighteen inches
in diameter and have been most elab-
orately carved by hand.
The. design of carving includes the
Hawaiian fruits, Hawaiian coat-of- arms
and maili lima leis, the wreaths of
green leaves and yellow flowers always
worn by Hawaiian royalty. The cary
ing on each post alone cost $500, aside
from the preparation of the wood. The
logs for the bed were secured in the
wild forests Of the island Of Hawaii,
and months were spent in finding pieces
of wood to match each other, the idea
being to secure perfect pieces of wood.
The Princess Kawananakoa is the
daughter Of the late James Campbell,
one of the wealthiest of Hawaiian su-
gar planters. He was the central flg-
uure in a sensational abduction case IN
San Francisco some years ago, having
been kidnapped and held number OF
days for ransom.

The majority of people labor under
the impression that an operation is nee

medicinal compound. Testimony like
the above should certainly have ten
dency to dispel this impression, al
though it is odd that such fallacy
should prevail, and still more odd that
so many people should think an opera
