WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
In Champcry, Switzerland, the sight
Causes No Comment.

In Champcry. Switzerland, the sight
Causes No Comment.
1t will probably be news to many adj
vocates of feminine dress reform -
hear that the women Of Champery,
primitive mountain district of the Can
ton Nalais. Switzerland, have worn
trousers from time immemorial. The
Champery region is in the southwest
ern part of the Canton Nalais, the VII
lage Of Champefy itself being at the
foot Of the Dent du Midi, well known
to Lake Geneva tourists.
The men of Champery are noted for
their lazy habits, and beyond acting as
guides TO mountain climbers in tie
summer months they lead an absolute
~ idle life. The women perform all
the hard labor required of a mountain
eering people. 1t is they who pasture
the cattle on the steep and often da"-
gerous Alpine slopes, cut the timber
and NOW the grass. 1t is a usual
sight to see Il Champery woman, her
daily toll ended, returning to the vii
lage dragging her husband on one OF
the wooden sleighs in general use
throughout Switzerland. her lord and
master all the while lazily smoking his
pipe.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that the women of Cham
perry should have adopted the mascu-
line attire. Their costume is of the
simplest kinda jerllin Of rough, dark
blue material, with trousers to match,
and Il red fouard TO protect the head.
While desperately practical, nothing
more unprepOssessing in the way of
feminine dress could be imagined than
this costume of the Champery danes
and damscls. Moreover, these wives
and mothers of Champery, who are ac-
customed all the work generally
supposed t. be the lot of the sterner
sex. not unnaturally seek what conso-
lation they can in masculine comforts.
Chief among these is the short briar
pipe which they all smoke and evil
IDENTITY enjoy as much If not more than
their husbands and fathers.-New York
Tribune.

CONSERVATISM
And Too Much of 1t On Part Of
Democrats Caused Defeat,
Still Claims Bryan.

William Jennings Bryan, in an in
terview given out at Kansas City,
Mo- last week, expressed his opinion
of Republican success as follows:
IF you will examine the returns,
sa id he, ''you will find that the Re-
publican increase was not as much as
might have been expected. They
show, for instance, that Roosevelt's
vote In Missouri was only 300 ovvr
the Mckinley vote of 1900 If you
will take this Republican vote and
figure out the percen tage you will find
that the increase IS not in keeping
with the decrease in population that
one would naturally expect
$50 you see" Mr. Bryan went on,
sit is not Republican victory at all.
1t indicates rather falling off in the
Democratic vote, whereas 1t should
increase. You Will notice the same
thing il true in other states. The
Republican gain was not in proper
ton to the Democratic loss. The Re
puDicans o. Missouri would better
make the most of their opportunity,
for there is no evidence OF change
of political complexion of the state.
In Illinois the Republicans had
about 80, 900 increase, while the Dem
cratic vote fell off 40 600. In one
county Roosevelt had 800 majority
more than Mckinley had in 1900, and
had, too, a smaller vote than McKin-
ley had, which showed a stay-at- nome

FARMER is "IT."
His 1904 Crops Exceed The Rich
eS Of All Gold Mines Since
Days Of Columbus.

The Secretary of Agriculture in his
annual report says the corn crop oil. 1904
yields farm value greater than ever be-
fore. The farmers could from the pro-
ceeds of this crop pay the national debt,
the interest thereon for one year, and
still have enough left to pay consider
able portion of the Government yearly
expenses The cotton crop, valued for
lint and seed at 5000, 900, 900, comes sec
ond, while hay and wheat contend for
the third place. Combined, these two
crops will about equal in value the corn.
Notwithstanding the wheat crop shows
a lower production than any year since
1000 the farm value is the highest since
1881. Potatoes and barley reached their
highest production in 1901; save in
1902 the oat crop was never so large by
600O0,0O0 bushels. The present crop of
rice promises a yield of 900 100000 pou.
nds-300, 600 900 more than ever before.
Live Stock Showing.
Horses AID mules reach the highest
point this year, with an aggregate value
exceeding Sl,354,000, 600. Cattle, sheep
and hogs all show a slight decline.
The farmers'hens now produce 500, =
100000 dozens OF eggs, and at the high
average price of the year the hens dur
ing their busy season lay enough eggs
in a single month to pay the years. in

The value of the products of the farm
during 1904, made within the census
scope, is placed at $4,000, 00O,O 900 after
