jured tone for being unable to print
the cut Of the high school buildin 9
in the high-school advertisement.
He walled that Teller printer was
sent to the Herald Office to ask for
the cut, that it was denied him, and
that the assistant publisher of the
Teller was put to the necessity of
swearing out complaint and hav-
ing writ of replevin issued to get
possession Of the Teller property.
AS to whether the cut of the
high school building is the property
of the Teller, the Herald or the
school board is a question that will
be answered Saturday before one
of the justices Of Lancaster. Now.
as to the other facts in the case.
The cut was being used by both
papers in turn to be 1un in the ad-
vertisement which is yearly insert
ed by the board of education of
Lancaster. This arrangement has
long been in vogue, not only with
cuts but with whole galleys of type,
notably on such occasions as the
meeting OF the county board. After
the publication Of the first high
school annual, the sHerald editor
purchased from the annual board
number of cuts, and among the
number delivered was this cut of
the high school building, which,
by the way, is the only one of it's
kind in existence. Tuesday1Iafter-
noon as this paper was making
ready for press, a Herald printer
went to the Teller office to get the
high school cut, which shad last
been used by the Teller; and was
told by an important factor in the
Teller retinue you can have it this
time but you can'ts have it any
more after that" The question of
ownership then naturally arose,
and the members Of the Herald
force were given instructions to let
the cut go from the office only by
order of the editor. Thus it hap
pened that when the Teller printer
called for the cut, the editor was
absent, and the Teller man was
told by the foreman of this office to
get an order from the Herald editor
and he could have the cut. The
Teller typo went straight. back to
his associate, assistant boss and re
ported like the dutiful man he is.
A telephone conversation and
personal interview than took place
between the assistant, associate
publisher of the Teller and a mem
Der Of the Herald force, the latter
giving the same instl uctions with
reference to obtaining the cut as be-

The Teller lad than consulted a
lawyer, who advised him to see the
editor of the Herald according to
instructions. This he did, and was
told that he could get the cut to run

"The Equitable Life loaned $250,O00
upon 1875 of the ~company's lots.
These lots were selected as constitut-

the time the mortgage was made these
lots were selling-the lowest at $500
and the highest at 5000 each. The val

Equitable appraisers at that time was
1898, $50, and upon the balance of the
land owned by the company $4,000,

Depew then recites the charges that

De White Wants to Go Home.
Having waived three of the demands
presented-the indemnity, the interned

Japanese final conditions were nine.
De Witte is exceedingly anxious to
sail for home on Sept. II. In the
meantime he desires to take leave of
President Roosevelt and personally
present the thanks of his emperor for
the presidents assistance. He is,
therefore, doing what he can to has

SHE'S AN INDEPENDENT PADDLER
UNTIL THE RIGHT MAN COMES.
It's all over now.

It's all over now.
The summer girl went at the
game in the right way and she won.
She ate, slept and trained herself
into health, made for herself a lot
OF pretty, sensible clothes, turned
her independent nose little higher
than ever before, and set out tc
spend the summer at husband hunt.
ing
She found him.
This is how she did it.
She started out by paduling he1
own canoe.
Whenever man happened alone
to do things for her he was at once
impressed with the fact that she
could do them perfectly we'll fo1
herself.
Wherever she went there wasn't
man about that could fool him
self into thinking that he was neces-
sary either to her comfort or to her
happiness.
1t she wanted hammock hung,
she could hang it, and she did.
If man CHANGED to see her at it,
as a man usually does, and was
really anxious to- help, she was
good enough Ito let HIM have the
pleasure of doing it for her, but she
never courted these little services,
never asked OF limited for them.
Some girls do. They always come
home in the fall without the en-
gagement ring
1t IS the girE who can paddle her
own canoe that comes home with a
sinner. H
The helpless, tired, loppy girl is
always unpopular.
The girl who always refuses to
let a man help her is Just as un-
popular.
1t is the girl who can do things
for herself, and who is wise enough
to let the man help her If he wants
to, that wins the attention of men.
They all 1utter about her eager
to do the things that she is perfect
ly able and willing to do for herself.
To serve awoman one need not
rye is the highest honor.
When woman is strong enough.
smart enough. and sensible enough
to paddle her own canoe through
life, there are plenty of men
tumbling over each other to get a
chance to paddle for her.
When the right man finally comes
along and sach a girl hands over
the paddle, it makes him feel as if
he amounted to something.
It's worth while wooing and
winning and possessing the capable,
self-reliant girl. She makes a wife
worth earning. A man feels quite
pulled up over getting her.
Pm perfectly able to handle this
paddle myself, but if you really
want to do it for me, I'll give you a
chance" That takes the men every
time. 1t is such privilege to serve
such a woman.
Then the man, silly creature, is SO
overcome with gratitude to think
that so capable woman will trust
him with the management of her
canoe, that he proposes to her on
spot, and marries her as soon as she
will set the day, and looks upon her
throughout their lives as the smart
est, loveliest little wife in the world.
She didn't need him. She doesn't
need him. He knows in his heart
that she could get along very we'll,
even now, without him.
That .kind of knowle lge keeps a
man good.

The popularity of the thin blouse OF
silk or lingerie has made the underslip
necessary addition TO the toilet, for
although furs and warm wraps may
make the wearer comfortable out Of
doors, few houses are SO uniformly
warm as to allow prudent woman to
risk a thin blouse without q lining un-
derneath as scme little protection
against draughtS.
These slips may be OF any pale shade
to suit the taste of the wearer, and
many people have several. in order to
change in harmony with the rest Of the
costume but on the whole the white
underslip is the most satisfactory, es-
pecially under a fine lingerie blouse.
The white appears TO preserve and even
to enhance the tranSparence OF the
blouse itself, and gives it a mere expen-
sive appearance.
Speaking of white over white recalls a
frock worn by a young girl not long
ago. The writer is not partial to point
d'esprit. nor has that material been as
popular as usual this winter. But it was
made over white taffeta slip. and the
rour d-necked bodice and skirt were
shi1red on cords at intervals of about
six inches. The skirt was gathered in
&c the wastband. and below the fourth
cord fell in an Immensely full accor-
dion plated ruffie to the floor.

sort of ribbon, covered with maline of
similar shade, forms a band around the
under part Of the brim and follows its
outlines where 1t is turned up on the

Square Crowns Are Tabooed.

We have the large floppy crown, the
conical crown. the saflor-shaped crown,
the small, high crown, and the plaque
that is crownless, or that has just a
suggestion of a crown. Besides these
we have crumpIed crowns and three
cornered crowns. although one sees few
of the latter; and square crowns are
practically tabooed-
AS for the brims, however, they must
all turn up high in the back or on the
side They are fluted and crumpled and
curled over on the crown and generally
manipulated SO that they will prove
most fetching in effect. Wonders can
be done with the turn of a hat brim
and the artistic curves of these are the
acme of coquetry in certain positions
and of sweet simplicity or reserved dig
nifty in others.
One Of the most fetching styles of
hats appears as though the narrow
back brim had been turned in front
and the wide front one tilted up in the
back. Such a briTa is tilted down over
the face and gives a dashing sort Of
look to the face of it's wearer. 1t is
either perfectly bewitching or perfectly
the other thing.
A style that becomes the generality

To Wash Ribbons.

The washing of ribbons IS not always
attended by the best results. The fol-
lowing is a mi,liners method, and most
successful: Put the ribbon into basin
Of warm water. rub on some good white
soap. and wash as you would anything
else. While still wet iron on the right
side with n hot iron and when dry rub
between the hands as if washing it un-
til all the stiffness is out, then iron
again to remove the wrinkles When
ribbons are washed in this way it is
difficult to tell them from new.
Nearly every woman knows from ex-
perience how difficult il is to wash sue
cessfully q crocheted shawl and have 1t
look fluffy and in prime condition when
dry. One woman made g triumphantly
successful experiment. She put the
shawl into a pillowcase. tied string
around the top. and then washed it in

then thoroughly rinsed and hung out to

/. Curling Plumes Are Smart.

Long white ostrich plumes that begin
in front of a hat and curl over the brim
and down the back are Immensely
smart They are sometimes fastened
with a buckle to one side of the hat
and float toward the back and upon
the hair Usually such plumes are in
groups of two or three. and the other
side of the hat is trimmed differently
Clusters of short and long plumes are
also effectively arranged, the short ones
being fastened to the bandeau under
the brim and curling up above its tilted
edge. The longer ones continue toward
and over the back brim.
Oftentimes one or two roses are set
where the feathers are fastened and fur
