The lace center piece at the drawing conducted by Mrs. G. P Smith of Wood lawn was drawn by Mrs. J. L. Taylor of Avondale. Mrs Smith, though more than 60 years old, has wonderful talent forlace making and drawn thread work, and her collection of her own handiwork sug- gests many cozy evenings with the needle and thread as she weaves with her stitches the memories of a varied past. Mrs. Smith Is a great. great neice of President Zachary Taylor. her grand mother being Miss Lilly Taylor of Miss issippi nelce of Zachary Taylor.
 Mrs. Smith has in her possession a quit Ill years old the work of this an- cestor, who picked the cotton, seeded 1t, spun the thread and wove material on the old fashioned loom, and on one of her visits to the White House she did the quilting and finishing work. It has been handed down as an historical relic to several generations.

ONE WAY TO RUN 4
 DAILY NEWSPAPER
ON THE ATcHIsoN GLOBE EVERY ONE HUNTS NEWS AND ADS, WHILE EDITOR HOWE WRITES BRIGHT WlTTlcIsMs.

Atchson Kan.-The Atchison Daily Globe, edited by E. w Howe. who years ago wrote two or three widely read novels does things differently from most, news papers.
 Howe is an aggressive chap who has made a lot of enemies. He says that about every five years he aceumulates enough of them who get mad enough to start a rival newspaper for the pur- pose of running him out of town, but these have all died. One of Howe's pet aversions Is the metropolitan system of getting news On the Globe the Howe system is in effect, and has been for rwen- ty-seven years.
 Atchison Is sleepy sort of town, one in which something happens promptly about every two years. The marvel of 1t, therefore. Is that the Globe is as bright and newsy as it is. Most of the news is of a routine character, telling of the comings and goings of folks, the improvements at John Jones' place. the marriage of Lysande- Appleton's daugh- ter, the dolngs of the Dorcas Society. and similar thrilling events that convulae country communities. Speaking of his sys- tenn, Howe says:
 Every man on the Globe objects to the papers system The head man in the Globe offlce-why, by the way is woman-doesn't keep a little book out of which assignments are made. The Globe plan Is to send its reporters all over town and vicinity without instruc- 1 tions other than to hunt the news. They are expected to return every hour or two and hand in their copy, which is sifted and rejected or accepted by the managing editor, the young woman refer red to.
 Certain reporters have certain territory, but all of them are free to work in the Big 1 Field-the field where the best items ori- 1 ginate, which Is Commercial street. That | is where strangers may be seen and their | business inquired into, where farmers from all sections may be seen, and farm
 CTS always have news. There's where
 the business men are, and they can be
 rounded up easily.
 "when two men take a contract to do a 1 job they stand around and hire men to do l the work. At the Globe office the con-
 tractors work. In most newspaper offices | the head men sit around and the young
 reporters go out and find the news. In l the Globe office 1t is the head men who do | the leg work. because a head man can l write better Item than a young re-
 porter; he can get nearer the source of
 news; many men will talk to head man
 who will not talk with a young reporter Another peculiar thing about the Globe l office is that 1t has no advertising so- l lieitor The reporters, including the edi- l tor solicit advertising, and the proprietor
 and editor and advertising manager are reporters.
 The truth probably is that most sub
 scribers of the Globe take it for the | pleasure of reading Howe's column Of l "Globe Sights" Every day there is half
 a column of keen and witty paragraphs

PARASoLs.

If other evidence than of July suns hot rays were needed to answer for the display of parasols, it would be the push for them in the shops Parasols now form big chapter in themselves. Now comes the cut in prices for these exquisite be- longings that are as fanclful as milady's bonnets and lingerie gowns
 The secret is out at last about all these wonderful parasols that have planted so many seeds of envy in the hearts of the women who have looked at them all spring in the shop windows They are linen centerpiecesl Some are small. for carriage use, and the rest are the size parasols usually are.
 One particular parasol is just one of those common centerpieces that have a large spray of embroidery on one side and a small one on the other. But the parasol isn't common at all.
 Another one Is made from one of those beautiful Japanese linen centerpieces, embroidered in two shades of blue. 1 ne Japanese work is the best to use for alike on both sides.
 A particularly graceful parasol, of lar ger size than the ordinary. is one of white moire, worked over with a silk ap- plique tracing and little chiffon roses in black. As may be readily imagined. it is a theme also worked out in endless colors and variations. Perfectly charm ing and ringing clarion note of change and variety is a raised embroidery of colored chiffon unanswered to represent floral clusters on a ground of net Flounces similarly treated finish the edge, softened by an under frill of double chif- fon. This is essentially a smart Ascot sunshade the chiffon embroidery serv- ing to delicately aecentuate the color note of the gown.
 As popular almost as ever. despite some serious rivalry, are the braid lace covers, one in a delicate biscuit hue worked with white silk open stitch mounted over pale blue being included In the group, while another presentment reveals an adorable chine style, groups of apples occurring on a ground of white silk bordered by a deep corded silk brm. Parasols to match the costumes and es- pecially the eyelet embroidered linen ones are much vogue at the shore.

1 wane. With each new engagement among ones girl friends this change becomes more apparent. says the New Orleans Pieayune.
 The circlet blushingly displayed by the happy maiden, while judging from evil dence 1t may be almost anything else. Is now seldom the single bit of crystalized carbon which for years we have been accustomed to associate with the inter- esting event. The more thoroughly modern the girl the surer is she to wear badge of other variety
 Sometimes the token is a seal ring of unusual pattern. Or 1t may be that some ancient bit, Roman. Greek. or Anglo Saxon. has been skillfully initiated by the craftsman of today Bands of jew els are frequently made use of as a means of getting away from the single stone. Diamonds as well as rubles find favor in the form of band. Again the soli- taire may be something other than a dia- mond-a ruby. for instance.
 Another popular selection Is the birth stone. especially If this happens to yield a jewel not commonly seen, and which ones friends will be unlikely to possess.
 A recent engaged girl of this city whose birthstone is the sard is exciting friend ly envy with her exquisite intaglio, a choice distinctive without being showy.
 In fact the more unusual the ring the more likely it is to be agreeable to the modern woman. She Is becoming every year more sparing of rings" on her fingers and each piece in her jewel box must have some special claim. Happy the lover who can present his lady with some quaint old treasure from family safe, bearing the stamp of an earlier age.

Tired Nervous

When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vi- tality is low-your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power,
 The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourisllncnt needed. This soon impovcrisllcs the blood and in- stead of throwing off the im- puritics, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery.
 Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles Ncrvine, a nerve food, nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous.
 "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to recent attack of typhoid fever but after her recovery from the fever she Was much worse. and could hardly control herself being exceed ingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night. and never had a good nights rest. She also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles Ncrvine was recom- mended by a friend. After the first three doses she had a good nights rest and at the end of the first weeks treatment she waS wonderfully im- proved Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure.'
