"I had been teaching in tho city

many months, and when I was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state
nents were so convincing that I some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.

and-down rows of lace frills. They were
very summary looking, very dainty, but
it would be no easy matter to keep them
the latter. Sleeves seem to be either me-
dunn sized leg-o'-mutton or with full
puffs and long cuffs.
Jackets are fashioned to show the
lingerie waist underneath, or at least
to disclose the frilly stuff now liked
about the neck. Day was when we
thought bit of white at the neck looked
prim and old-maidish. but now we can
not get enough filmy snowiness about
the throat. Dainty white stocks, all in
sertion and lace, have added a frill be-
low, forming quaint neck dressing
reminiscent of Queen Anne-or whoever
it was that islanded her neck in sea OF

The big coats have numberlesS pock-
cts, and the cape styles are now to the
fore here as well as in more dressy
toilets. Coats are made of various ma
terials; waterproofing, linens, pongees,
and other silks. The pongee is very
sensible and pretty choice, easily parts
with dust, can be laundered, if neces-
sary. The gayest of colors will be seen;
violets, pale blue, yellow, even scarlet.
When the latter is worn in one of the
flaming red machines, the effect, to say
the least, will be noisy.
The shirt waists favored are of light
weight woods, the green and white COM
bination much liked. Wells do not
change much; some hoods are used
that on occasion may envelop the hat
and whole head.
Plaids bid fair to become very popu-
lar; one sees waists, both of vestings
and of silk, in beautiful rich plaids. The
leading colors are plums, greens and
raspberry reds. Mohair continues in
high favor, and white mohair is espe-
cially liked The separate waist" has
triumphed over all its enemies, is
strong and lusty once again. We need
no longer worry if our costume is not
all the same color, from tip to toe.
White waists are much. in evidence,
the lingerie ones often described the
favorites. Waists of China silk are
displayed in the shops in variety of
excellent designs and materials, and are
snapped up by women who realize the
white waist is to have full reign this
season.

probably are to spend more time in
the horseless carriage than elsewhere
during the season. for them the impor-
tant thing is attractive auto costumes.
Caps remain much the same, rather
close fitting with visor to protect eyes
and complexion. The long coat is re-
tanned by many, although not few, as
the warm days appear, show prefer
ence for the natty short jacket and
skirt. But whatever the design, the
costumes always bear about them the
solid, substantial mark denoting the
auto garment, and leather remains the
most approved trimming. 1t is used
The checked suit here illustrated is
of black and white, trimmed with dark
green cloth, and bone buttons of the
same shade of green. Also the smart
cap that accompanies this suit is of
green. An advs ntage of this costume
is that it can be worn for other than
strictly automobile demands.
With the speed INDUCED in by the
enthusiasts, it really is necessary to

Comfort on Uncle San's'

Cupid Is one of the best recruiting
officers that Uncle Sam has," confided
one Of the sergeants attached to the
recruiting headquarters. "Back of
nearly every enlistment there is a
woman in the case. Lovers quarrels
chase lot of fine lads into the serv-
Ice. Your romantic youth gravitates
to the recruiting office after a serious
break with his sweetheart as naturally
as duck takes to water. 1t seems
to him the most fitting way in which
to sacrifice himself when loves young
dream Is apparently dlspelled. Way
down in his heart he nurses the idea
Of making his erstwhile inamorata
sad, and it's the army or navy, with
the possibility of death in battle, for
him. Again, other first class material
is recruited by the desire of young
fellows to sport a uniform before their
girls. In such cases Cupid does his
recruiting through vanity. But in both
ways he manages to fill up big gaps
In the ranks Of Uncle Sans fighters"

THE PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS.
PRESIDENTS PUBLIC LAND COMMISSION RECON-
MENDS RADICAL CHANGES IN LAWS. :
Richard Hamilton Byrd.

Three men went out west to seek
their fortunes. One located in the
Middle West-not the Middle West,
perhaps, as it is generally known,
but the central section Of the west
ern half of the United States-in the
desert country. He started his sue
cessful career by taking up govern
ment claim under the desert-land act.
He was in the cattle Countrywide
cow country-and he made his strike
In cattle.
His friend went further north, still
In the desert area, close to the Cana
dian ine-in the sheep country. He
took up government homestead
claim and committed it.
The third man went into the far
northwest-the Oregon country Of
Lewis and Clarke-and he took up
government timber claim. He located
in land where numbering was DONE
And these three men became great
cattle and sheep and timber kings,
and incidentally landlords; and their
operations while widely different
were singularly similar. They filed on
their government claims and at the
earliest possible moment each man
"proved up and sold out" for cash to
larger land grabbers. And so they
learned the mode and got their start
toward land grabbing themselves.
The desert entryman was supposed
under the law to live at least three
years on his 800 acres and to expend
during that period $500 in construct
ing irrigation bitches and other i'm
provements, and make it his home.
This was what was promised for the
law when it was slipped through
Congress. AS matter Of fact, this
man spent day with a team making
a fake irrigation reservoir and then
another day running a couple Of fur
rows around the land, making oath
that this constituted an irrigation
system for its reclamation. Then
within six months he proved up"
made the required payments to the
government, and secured a patent to
his land.
The homestead entryman, who, I'M
der the law, must reside continuously
on his claim, erected a slab, one-room
shanty, 10x12 feet and during a per-
iod OF fourteen months slept in it just
five times. This was the extent of
his home making. Then he, too, made
oath Of what he had not done, offered
the required payments to the govern
ment and secured title to his land.
The timber entryman went into the
finest timber section of the United
States-the dense forests of the far
northwest-and under the timber and
stone act, selected 100 acres Of land,
the timber standing upon which was
worth SIS an acre, and swearing that
he wanted it for his own personal use,
purchased it from the government at
the fixed price Of $3.50 an acre and
disposed Of it. So that
within fourteen months these three
men had secured from Uncle Sam an
Of one square mile Of gov
eminent land for their own benefit
and use as homes, and sold 1t out to-

Mr.. Kramer is Washington florist
with large experience in the flower
line, many new and interesting nov
elites having originated in his green
houses. Among the popular garden
roses which he produced are the
climbing Meteor" climbing varie-
ty with large red blooms; champion
of the World" Robert e. Lee" az
II. Kramer" and many other sorts
which have been sold to catalogue
houses and named by them. He has
just originated the climbing Ameri-
can Beauty" which will probably be
listed by 1ower-sellers next spring. He
recently exhibited in Washington the
"F. ii. Kramer" carnation-a deep
pink sort-which many well-known
florists have declared to be the equal
of either the Lawson" or "Fiancee."
He states that no plants of the
"Queen Beatrice rose will be ready
for distribution before the spring of
1907 during which time a large sum
Of money will be expended in the
erection of hothouses and the cultiva-
ton and growing Of hundreds of
thousands Of young plants. The es-
innate is made that probably $4,000

clever but INSCRIPTIONS people to OBJ
tain specimens of the Queen Beat

Kramer establishment where a huge
bouquet of the blooms was on exhibit
ton, offering to purchase at large
prices single flower for bouton-
Mere. Others have gone so far as to
order elaborate funeral designs with
the proviso that nothing but this par
ticular kind Of rose be used. These
were only lodges to obtain the healthy
wood for slipping and growing, for
the best time to make rose cuttings is
either just before or Immediately after
the plant comes into bloom.
One Washington florist who origi-
mated the "Ivory" rosa handsome

flowers, thereby enabling the purcha-
sers to propagate the variety cheaply.

Gently awarded the new "Queen Beat
rice" rose certificate Of merit, the
first of the kind ever given by the
club. The new flower is so striking
and beautiful that every member OF
the club consented to the award.

The latest and most obnoxious
crank In tn gastronomic line is that
deluded epicure who asserts that
Christmas turkey must be served
without "stuffing." He says it is an

insult to the completeness of the
bird. He even declares that it de-
