around the lower edge with bead

the strands graduated, very long IN

This style is particularly becoming to
full, plump faces. Or the fringe may
be studded at Intervals with larger
beads, and e2ch strand finished with q
large bead, at least quarter 0f an
inch in diameter.
Very stunning for the girl who IN
making over her evening coat are the
bands of heavy white satin embroid-

PoLITENEss IN CHILDREN.
Reasons for Social Usages May Be
Given, But Courtesy in Family
Life Strongest influences.

Eleanor Davids, writing her expert
ence5 with q child taken from q
home" in THE Note Book of an
Adopted Mother" has this to say on
the teaching Of gentle and polite man
nefs: So o. y " afss n ssee - $50 e
Perhaps the reason why it is so
hard to inculcate politeness in children
IS that It Is difficult to explain the
reason back Of many small refinements
OF life,' remarks Mrs. Davids. Con.
ventionality is in almost constant con-
aict with a child's instincts. and yet,
II We are not afraid to think, or too
.ndolent to explain, we can generally
make children understand that there
is 4 good reason for all social usages
Then they see some sense in observing
tNem.
81 have never read anything on the
cultivation Of politeness in children
which impressed me a. more practical
~ suggestive than an incident In the
papers some time ago. A small boys
manners improved so after he entered
school that his mother s-questioned
him to flnd out what the teacher did
to secure such results. Nothing, was
the indignant reply.
.s.tshs sturdy must do something
persisted the mother.
81 tell you she doesn't do nothing,
persisted the boy She just walks
round and is polite. and it makes US
feel as polite as anything.
Courtesy and consideration will
never become natural to child, will
never be anything but q veneer added
for the sake Of policy. unless he has
witnessed and experienced the results
OF politeness at home while still In
the plastic period of life.
Another idea that Mrs. Dayids tried
to develop in her home was that the
people we love, and with whom we
live every day, are just as much en-
titled to- courtesy Nas guests in fact,
she says that II any difference IS to
be made it should be In favor Of those
dearest to us. Ss8s
Quite the reverse Of this is. unhap-

Art III 4 word to conjure with: as
Richter said, "Art Is for delight, it is
the wine Of life. N Andlart can do more
for dress than for aught else on earth,
for Of all the things subject at all to
art. dress is the most highly esteemed
and the most frequently renewed
Dress characterizes the person beneath
1t as much as does fur or shell in the
animal world; and since it wears out
rapidly. there is frequent opportunity
for Improvement at renewal.
The artistic dress has no need to BE
high-priced, for art is every whit as
much democrat as an aristocrat; but
II dress is to be artistic 1t must be CIV
en- studiOus and systematic attention.

Dress-art, repeat, needs doing,
needs MISUNDERSTANDING by the dress
er herself. The natural taste upon
which nearly every woman prides her
self. no more suf1ces for attainment
in dress-art than In music or siitera-
ture. Taste needs culture in all. three
alike. It usually gets it In music Ind
literature, but not in art. And even
after the principles Of dressart have
been mastered, the Individual weaver
still has ample scope for constructive

SeaSonable Advice.

There is one thing which we
desire to impress upon the parents
of school children at this time,
when schools are just opening, and
that is; Never under any circum-
stances take the side of your child
when difference between him and
his teacher occurs! This may seem
a very sweeping statement, but we
propose to. stand by it. Differences
between teacher and pupil are ex-
ceedingly general and in most cases
the pupil brings the matter up for
consideration at his home. He
gives his side of the case, feelingly
recites his grievance, and usually
succeeds in winning the sympathy
of his parents. Why? Because they
would naturally sympathize with
their child and believe what he tells
them. They forget that he may
leave out important particulars and
color his story, consciously or un-
consciously. The result is that the
pupil takes dislike to his teacher
and works against him, feeling that
his parents are behind him. He
does not take pleasure in his work
and studies IN half hearted man
ner. No child studies because he
thinks it will helm him tO succeed in
life, but in order to square his ac-
count with the teacher and win
praise in the school. If the parents
supported the teacher the results
would be different. Then the pupil
would be likely to feel that he was
in the wrong and endeavor to set
matters right. He would be more
obedient and would study harder.

Bail Games at the Fair.

Anyone of the opinion that in
terest in baseball in this section is
waning had all such thoughts dis
PEELED when they viewed the i'm
mense gathering of people that
witnessed the two games played at
the fair grounds on Wednesday and
Thursday of last week.
In the first contest Livingston
was pitted against Little Grant
and the game was an interesting
one. The phenomenal Nose Parish
of Galena did the twirling for the
Livingston aggregation, but the
Little Grant boys were not in the
least timid and found him often.
But for the excellent support given
him the result would have been diff
ferent. The score was 4 to 0 in favor
of Livingston.
The game on Thursday was the
most important attraction of the
fair program for that day. The
hard hitting Highland team was
up against Cuba City and the
latter was defeated by score of IL
to 5.
''Howdy" Rhodes umpired both
contests in very satisfactory man
ner.

Obltuary-Herman j. Schloesser.

Herman J. Schloesser, deceased,
was the Oldest of family of eight
children, one girl and seven boys.
One boy died in early infancy. He
was born in Oberwinter, Germany,
June 18th, 1885.
The family emigrated to the
United States in 1849, settling first
at Racine, in this state, and after a
residence there of three years, they
moved to Lancaster, Wisconsin, and
finally located on a farm about
three miles west of this city, where
: the mother died in 1859, and the
father died in 1860.
At the breaking out of the re-
bellion four of the boys of this
family entered the army, Herman,
Peter, John and Henry. Herman
enlisted in Capt. Woods company
F. 10th Wis. Vols. At the battle of
Murfresboro he was captured by
the rebels, and after time was
paroled and exchanged, but at the
battle of Chickamauga he was again
taken prisoner and confined in
Libby prison at Richmond, and
after suffering the hardships for
many months he was finally ex-
changed. Peter was wounded in the
service and discharged, but later
served again as Capt. in company
in the latter part of the war. Henry
died of decease contracted IN the
service, and John was taken
prisoner and confined at Belle Isle,
where he died in prison.
Herman died on Sunday Sept.
End, 1905, at the home of his sister
Barbara, in Lancaster, with whom
he had resided for the past fourteen
years, and who during his sickness,
with the help of her brothers and
others, tenderly cared for him.
He leaves surviving his sister
Barbara, Peter of Chicago, George
OF Colorado, and VIM. II. SchlOeSSer
of North Lancaster, also daugh-
ter at Dubuque, and a son late of
DeMoines, Iowa.
Tie funeral was conducted under
the auspices of Tom Cox Post, &.
A. r. and was from his late home,
where brief services were held by
Rev. Morgans, and the remains &C.
companied by the relatives and
friends and the Post were conveyed
to the cemetery, and consigned to
the grave with services by the Post.
The family wish to thank all who
so kindly aided them during the
sickness and burial OF their brother.
BY A FRIEND.

MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Secret Of How MOntfOrt Bank Bur-
glars Secured Files--TOld by One
of Their Number.

Harry Dewitt, one of the quartette
of Montfort bank robbers who
served three years for completely in
the well remembered raid in
December of 1901, was in Lancaster
for a day last week and incidentally
called upon Atty. Ed M. Lowry
who defended he and his COM
panlOns in their unsuccessful at
tempt to secure ill gotten gains.
Herald readers will remember the
close call of Sheriff Dickinson to los
ing his prisoners. They had their way
sawed out of their cells when
another prisoner who was liberated
''peached" on their plan of escape.
There has always been a mystery
as to how the saws used were ever
obtained as strict vigilance was
maintained by officers over the
possible escape of the bold bad men.
Mr.. Devitt's visit here cleared the
mystery. Three pals came here,
one by one to furnish the saws The
first was a vagrant who was in
generated one night in the county
jail, but in cell where communica-
ton with the burglars was inef-
fective. The second stranger who
wished to interview them and was
refused went to Fennimore, stole
coat and got 80 days. He was
brought to county Jail but all plans
were foiled by his being placed in
an obscure cell away from the
quartette of robbers.
A system of crook telegraphy
was evidently conducted however.
A short time later man went to
the book store conducted by Chas.
Burr in the Wright block end pur-
chased a Munsey's magazine. He
then proceeded to a similar store
conducted by L. G.. Wheeler IN the
postofice building and traded the
Munsey for another copy of the
magazine of an earlier date, placing
his in the Munsey stack. The one he
left contained the saws, carefully
pasted to the leaves. The man tnen
waited.
Sheriff Dickinson in the mean
time was requested by the pris-
oners to purchase some magazines
for them to read, one requesting a
Munsey. Naturally he proceeded to
the nearest newsstand to get them,
Wheeler's, and consequently the
Munsey that was on top of the heap
was one of the books he secured
and delivered with several others to
the prisoners The pal stood by and
watched him obtain the number
containing the files.
All this information was given
Atty. Lowry confidentially by
Dewitt and the mystery of how the
necessary paraphernalia for an
efecued escape that turned out to
be fzzle is thus cleared up.
After serving three years at
Waupun Dewitt was taken at the
prison doors by a Kansas sheriff and
was convicted for robbery there,
serving term in prison at Leaven-
worth.
He came directly here from there
after his liberation, it is said to
seek the whereabouts of a Lancas-
ter girl who became infatuated with
him while he was in Jail here.
