Why She Preferred VIRGINIA.

William Waugh Smith, Chancellor Of
the Randolph-Macons system of educa-
tional institutions through the Vir-
ginias, tells an amusing happening
which befell him in earlies days when
he was one Of the engineering party
which ran through the new State line
between Virginia and South Carolina.
They had reached a place where the
division would evidently cross a little
form presided over by not unattrac.
tive widow, but when they took lunch.
con at her hospitable table they had
not yet decided whether the house
itself would be in the one State or the
other-and that was a question in
which their hostess showed the keen.
est interest.
But at supper time, when again the
surveyors and their assistants were
the lady's guests, DR.. Smith was able
to say: Madame, very little of your
place is in South Carolina. The home
itself is well into Virginia.
With glad cry she caught his hand,
and as she shook it again and again,
she exclaimed: "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm
so glad! I've always hearn tell it was
so unhealthy daown in Carolina"

You Can Pick and Choose.

It is one of the whims of the sea
son, the contrast of materials in
wraps and skirts. Silk Jackets with
cloth skirts and cloth Jackets with
silk skirts are feature at fashion
able assemblies, such as church wed
dings, afternoon receptions and mu-
steals. The Jackets are little Louis
affairs cut, almost to one, with
jaunty basques and elbow sleeves.
In linen suits the redingote is the
prime favorite, but the redingote OF
this year of grace has taken on many
shapes. There are the close fitting
the half-ftting, the blouse body, part
and full or plain basque, and even q
bolero effect hanging over a high
girdle. The redingote, were it a
talker, might admit as much con.
fusion as to its real character as the
old woman of Mother Goose fame
who left it to her little dog to estab'
lish her identity.

Enulish Silks.

There is no doubt about it that the
most elaborately plenished wardrobe
requires absolute simplicity as the
characteristic of some of its details,
and this applies very emphatically to
the morning shirt. Smart though the
white lingerie one is, it is not always
desirable to wear it, and so there, ar
rives an opportunity for the tailor
made model called the Gibson Girl
with it's neatly stitched pleats and its
general air of practical utility.
There are being sold now some ex'
cellent English silks that wear very
well, and are not expensive.
They should be made with a neck
band like that of mans shirt, and a
deep white linen collar should be
worn with them, with little tie ar
ranged in a bow in front. Supposing
there should be in the possession OF
the wearer a set of pretty studs and
cuff links, they should be brought into
instant requisition.

A New Chocolate Cake.

Pound to a paste. one-quarter of a
pound of sweet unpeeled almonds |;
take the same amount Of chocolate
and fresh butter, four very fresh eggs,
ope-half pound powdered sugar and
three tablespoonfuls of sifted -four.
Melt the chocolate in as little water
as possible over a slow fire, and when
it is reduced to paste add the other
ingredients, with the exception of the
whites of the four eggs. Beat the
mixtures for a couple of minutes, then
butter a charlotte mold and stir in the
whites of the eggs, which have not
been previously beaten, merely stirred
vigorously. Fill the mold and bake in
moderate oven for forty-five min
utes, until it reaches a golden tint;
then turn it out and cover with choc.

Ribbon Work.

Ribbon work in various forms and
devices is applied to the waistcoats
and fronts this season, and very beau
tiful are the designs carried out on
some of the new examples. Old-fash-
ioned brocades in pearl gray, oyster
pink, white and the faintest shades of
blue, green and mauve, are used as the
basis of these schemes, the ribbon be-
ing worked into gathered borders with
trains of flowers running down on
either side, supplemented with en-
broidered leaves. Rows of ribbon con-
nected with hairpin work and flanked
with button motifs ornamented with
lace centers provide another effective
device which is simple enough for the
home embroideress to carry out her
self.

Suqared Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are never better
than when cooked in the southern
style and baked with sugar. Boil and
peel the sweet potatoes and cut them
lengthwise into slices. Arrange them
in layers in a pudding dish, treating
each layer to butter and sugar In the
proportion of heaping tablespoonful
of butter and a cup of sugar to each
quart of the potatoes. The sugar
should be of the moist, light-brown
variety. When the dish is full, with
bits of butter and sprinklings of sugar
for the top dressing, cover it and bake
for twenty minutes, then uncover and
let the potatoes brown. Properly pre-
pared, this is delicious dish.

WORK FOR THE PARsoN
Street Car Conductor Was Altogether
Too Busy to Preach.


An open car in the Sixth avenue
shopping district was well filled with
passengers. One row of seats was oc-
cupied by three women and a clergy
man, who manfully maintained the
outside seat. A small boy with a
large bundle pushed his way past them
with much inconvenience to the sit
ters and established himself at the in
side end. When the conductor came
around the boy pushed out transfer.
The conductor looked at it and asked:
When did you get this?"
"Just minute ago." was the prompt
reply.
The conductor scowled. "Thatll do
for you," he said.
In a minute or so the man at the
end asked: What was the matter
with that transfer?"
"Six hours DID," was the conductors
laconic reply.
Then, my man, you should put him
off the car. Why didn't you?"
Didn't want to annoy these ladies,
snapped the conductor, moving along
the footboard. When he came back
he was assailed again.
"You are teaching that lad to be dis
honest. You are robbing his employer
and yours. YOU"
"See here, amt you parson?"
Il am" was the dignified reply.
Then invite that lad to your Sunday
school and tell him what you've got tt
say about dishonesty. l amt got NJ
time for preachin'." said the conductor

A Sovereiun Remedy.
Sing no. the smart suburbanite-

Sing no, the smart suburbanite-
He is a knowing man!
No aches or pains can him alright
Because he has plan
To send such things to right about
Whenever he feels i'll
He straightway gets the bottle out
And takes a quinine pill.
No fever e'er can make him fret,
The grip alarms him not;
He takes pill when he is wet
And one when he is hot.
And when he's troubled with the gout
Or has a sudden chill
He simply brings the bottle out
And takes a quinine pill.
In farming should he hurt his toe,
His back or ankle sprain-
A pill Is just the thing, you know,
To chase away the pain;
The surgeon he may safely flout,
He pays no doctors bill
Just gets his faithful bottle out
And takes a quinine pill.

HEARING OF STEARNS
Witnesses in Land Fraud Case
Leave for Fort Pierre

A second chapter in the story of the
sensational arrest of w. T. Horsnell.
the st. Paul real estate man, for con-
spiracy to defraud the government, will
be enacted Thursday at Fort Pierre,
S. D., when r. B. Stearns will be ar
raigned on a similar charge.
Three of the government witnesses
left st. Paul last night for Fort Pierre
to give testimony against Stearns.
They were Miss Nora Goodkind of 1874

ment of the interior, with Headquarters

represented at the hearing by United
States District Attorney w. H. Elliott
of Sioux Falls.
The arrest of Stearns was made aft
the instance of c. c. Houpt. United
State district attorney for Minnesota.
Stearns, who is at the head of a big
cattle company at Fort Pierre, is
charged with conspiracy in connection
with Horsnell to fraudulently obtain
title to some $4,000 acres of govern
ment land in South Dakota. He is a
prominent politician of his section of
South Dakota and was a candidate for
state senator on the Republican ticket
at the last election. Mr.. Stearns was
years ago resident of Wadena, in this
state, but for years has been a leading
man in South Dakota.
The government officials are conf
dent that they have a strong case
against the accused
Horsnell, at the preliminary exam
ination, was held in $500 bonds to
answer to the federal grand jury. He
furnished the required bond and is at
liberty.
