For LARGE Women.

style of bodice becoming to large
women is that made with Jacket
fronts. not the loose, hanging bolero
fronts. but O. trim, tight fitting affair.
single or double breasted, or fastened
at the left side. The jacket comes be-
low the waist line in front, and it has
a small, shaped basque back. an in
ner vest with overlapping revers
shows between, or above and below
the overlapping jacket fronts. One
point that every woman at all inclin-
ed to stoutness should remember
is to keep the line Of her waist
long by cutting all her clothes
with straight seam and dart lines,
and placing the waist line half
an inch below where she actually
feels the line to exist. A garment
cut an inch too long wasted looks in
finitely better than one a quarter OF
an inch too short wasted; especially
is this to be noticed in the plain tailor
coat made with single fly fronts.
When the coat hangs open 1t rides
up in the back when not long enough
in the waist, and it gives most awk-
ward appearance to a woman.

Dressv Effects,

In thin narrow fabrics the circular
top is preferred to skirt and the
rest is all ruffies. One circular ruff
fie may be used as foundation, begin
below hips, and the trimming put on
this.
Princess gowns are appearing in
the thinnest of fine muslins, and
handkerchief linen and linen batiste.
They are tucked to fit into the waist
line and are deliberately trimmed with
fine lace and slight designs of hand
embroidery.
Many women whose figures can
stand this severity are making up
such gowns dccollete with sleeves end
ing well above elbow for summer
evening wear. They are put over
slips of colored batiste at fifty cents a
yard.
These slips are also princess, fit
ted into the waist beading of narrow
ribbon which is tied in fiat bow in
the back and they are ruffied at the
foot line.
The passion for hand embroidery
has grown stronger each week. Who
ever can do it, is putting it en- every
possible garment.

HAVE ALWAYS WORN SHOES.
Foot Protection Believed Old as the
Human Race.

Human Race.
What is regarded as the earliest
reference to shoes is found in the old
testament, where Abraham refnses to
take as much as a shoe latcnet from
the king of Sodom. Among the Jews
the shoe played an important part in,
many social usages. When buying or
selling land it was customary to de-
liver shoe and the act of throwing
down shoe on territory implied oc-
cupancy. The finding of sandals on
Egyptian mummies proves that they
wearing of shoes is almost as old ~
the race itself. In Venice in the sev-
enteenth, century every lady of any
pretension to fashion or position wore
what were called "choppines." high
clogs or pattens, to elevate them from
the ground. Thomas Coryat, travel
er who visited Venice in 1871, says of
them: "They are so common in
Venice that no woman goeth without
either in her house or abroad. 1t is
a thing made of wood and covered
with leather in sundry colors, some
white, some red. some yellow. Many
of them are curiously painted; some.
also, of them have seen fairly gilt.
There are many of these chapineys of
a great height-even half a yard
high; ard by how much the nobler
woman is, by so much the higher
nre her chapineys. All their gentle
women, and most of their wives and
widows that are of any wealth. are as
sisted or supported either by men or
women when they walk abroad. to
the end that they may not fall

Horses Trained to kneeI.

In ancient times, before the inven-
ton of stirrups and luxurious saddles.
horses were taught to kneel to permit
their riders to mount. A beautiful
Greek vase in one of the museums in
st. Petersburg shows a war horse of
many centuries ago kneeling low be-
fore an Amazon. The riders in those
days mounted from the "off" side, in
contradiction to the modern usage.
Plutarch tells how in the first century
of this era certain effeminate Roman
riders found even the horse block Of
too little assistance and had their
horses trained to kneei to them.

John Is Willy.

People very often marvel at the
cheapness of the engraved or etched
pearl shells which come from China.
They sell for little OR nothing, and the
uninitiated will be apt to wonder
how it is the work can be done so
cheaply. The reason is that. instead
of craving the picture into the hard
shell, an operation which would be
leborious and slow. John Chinaman
draws the sketch on little scrap Of
tea lead, and inserts it into a pearl
oyster shell when it is tender. The
inside Of the shell in this manner gets
an impression of the ~ketch from the
tea lead picture. and as soon as it is
sufficiently well printed John takes
the lead out and inserts it in another
shell.

Chase and the Ohio Ioea.

Senator J. B. Foraker in describing
the life, character and public services of
Salmon P. Chase recently said of him !:
''It is probably safe to say that he
had membership in more political par
ties with less enjoyment in any of them
ard with less mutual obligation aris-
ing therefrom than any other public
man America has produced.
Chase was a rival of Lincoln and
Seward for the republican nomination
in 1860 and believed he had the place
'Ecinched." He was again secret or
stealthy candidate for Lincoln's shoes
in 1864, when the occupant of the white
house was fighting not only the battles
of the union but the battle of decent
and orderly precedence in the republi-
can party as well. For a third time
Chase was willing to be party can
didate, and this strangely enough was
when he was chief justice of the
supreme court. He was ready to take
the democratic nomination in 1868. He
thought this nomination was practically
assured to him when the convention
was stampeded to Seymour.
Chief Justice Chase appears to have
been typical Ohio man always hungry
for office and for change of Office. His
political career is strongly marked with
selfshness of the weaker sort. He had
not Lincoln's steadfastneas nor Sew
ard S capacity for self abnegation. Was
it because he came from Ohio? Is there
something in the atmosphere of the
buckeye state which makes men phe-
momenally fond of themselves? Ohio
has produced many great and service

Pushing the Frauds.

Portland Ore, Oct. 16.-After a SEES
sion of the United States court which
lasted all day Saturday and far into the
evening, the jury in the case of the
United States against William N. Jones
former representative to the state
legislature, Thaddeus Potter, a local
attorney and Ira Wade, timber locat-
or, returned a verdict finding Jones and
Potter guilty of conspiracy to defraud
the United States of a part of it's
public domain. Wade was acquitted.
Thus it is seen that fraud is being
punished with a regularity that ought
to be pleasing to the multitude. This
is as it should be. It should have been
long ago. 1t is we'll known fact that
untold millions of acres of western and
southwestern lands were secured by
syndicates headed by Senator Elkins
and others by fraud. The land Office
openly changes this, but by that very
efficient scheme of protection to fraud
transfer of title-and the passing of
years, these frauds are probably be-
yond the reach of the law.
They were not prosecuted at the time
because they were secured at a time
when fraud and graft were winked at.
Bnt times have changed since then
and fraud doesn't succeed as we'll as it
did.
Let it be hoped that honest politics

stood that he will go before the COM
mittee and make clean breast of every
thing.
Mr.. Hyde has been visiting friends
in and near Boston recently. 1t is
said that he has experienced COM
plete change of heart so far as the
legislative investigation is concern
ed.
One of the paramount questions that
will be put to Mr.. Hyde will concern
the now famous yellow dog fund Of
$685., 900. Members of the committee
are rejoicing over the announcement
that Mr. Hyde is coming home to face
the music and throw light on this ques-
ton, as we'll as many more of kindred
nature.
The committee is anxious to complete
the work of the investigation before
Jan. 1, when the new legislature will be
convened, but there is great fear among
the members that this will be impossible
unless Jordan, Mcintyre, Judge Andrew
Hamilton and other much-wanted wit
nesses come back and tell what they
know.
Isn't it amusing to see these big
guns running away from an investi-
cation of their acts? Could there be
a stronger evidence of fraud or sug-
gestion of a desire to patch up mat
tiers? If these people had acted honest
ly, would they run away? Did Pull
man run away from Chicago a few
years ago without reason? Did the
beef combine officers take their vaca-
ton by chance just as tie federal grand
jury met in Chicago.
1t is little wonder that they go
away. Their practices were SO full
of fraud that they could not face an
investigation. And these investiga
tions are part of the reform meas
ures that stalwarts and standpatters
scott at. Snch Investigations will be
an issue in coming political contests,
under the surface to be sure-but they
will be an issue just the same. And
the people who get their living by other
means than fakery ought to all be on
one side.

Chase. in spite Of his weakness, was
one of the greatest of them, yet he
seemed to have frailty entirely out

and the relations he sustained toward
other men. 1t may have been entirely
personal, but it bears a marked resem-
blance to the Ohio disease for office as
we know it today.

to hold a republican national conven-

Higher Farm Incomes.

The following from the Arcadia
Leader applies as we'll in Rusk coun-
ty:
Do the people of Arcadia, and the
farmers in and about the village
and in it's vicinity fully appreciate
the wealth there is in the soil of these
farms in tobacco production? Has
this matter come to the attention of
our people so as to cause them to study
it, and to compare tobabco raising
with other farm crops and products?
If it has, has it's Importance been
view been taken?. Have we taken
time to ask what tobacco raising has
done in a few years for our neighbor-
ing village of Viroqua and the country
about it? Why not consider this ques-
ton in broad way-the way business
propositions are taken up generally?
Let us go back to 1878 and up to 1886.
What were the conditions then? We
had all been wheat raisers practically
and we were all poor. How difficult 1t
then looked to the average man to go
from grain to dairying. But we did it!
The cows and work did the rest.
In 1882 the first creamery in the
county was built here in Arcadia and
took up the extend of territory that
was gone over to secure patronage
for this new industry. It went west
to Alma Ridge, north to Elk Creek,
east to Ettrick and south to Center
vile. A new crop or kind of farm
product should not fill us with fear,
bvt with encouragement. One, to
raise from one to ten acres of tobacco
need not go out of dairying, or in any
way alter his farming. Add the to-
baccO culture to the farm products and
thus increase his income from 5000
to $4,000 year. A yield of 5000 to
$500 an acre is not an exaggeration
and the figures can easily be verified
in localities in our own county. A
Vernon county farmer this fall, just
recently sold the crop of Is acres of to-
bacco for $4,000.
Now let us see how tobacco raising
by our farmers would be likely to help
the village A tobacco warehouse
would be erected here and give employ
ment to II to so persons from two to
three months in spring time at good
wages, bring money into the village and
in the course of year many buyers
would come to the village and help the
hotels and livery keepers. We are all
mutually dependent upon each other.
We should all be willing to aid that
which would bring the greatest bless
ing.
