This simple and modish little dress
was effectively developed in white
mohair, finished by machine stitching
in red silk. and red silk buttons. The
waist is laid in tucks in the upper
part. and slightly bloused all around.
A smart touch is added by an oddly
shaped yoke, that ends in a tab; It
may be, omitted however, il a plainly
tucked front is preferred. The pleat-
ed skirt is especially stylish, and very
becoming TO little girls. Cashmere,
serge, chaiiis, linen and chambry are
all suitable for the making. The
medium size will require FIVE and one
quarter yards of thirty-six inch ma
terial. Girls Dress No. 1892: Sizes

Domestic EConomiCS

The man whose thrifty choice of a
wife is chronicled In the Rochester
Herald will doubtless make a success
in the business of life His talents
dest1ne him for a wider sphere than
that Of simple farmers life. He
was an Alabama youth, and courted
two girls at the same time One was
Sally; the other was Mary.
Sally was very fine girl, thrifty.
Industrious, and of a domestic turn.
She was not SO pretty as some other
girls, but James, the swain in cues
ton, had courted her in his early
years. When he had prospered and
earned little money, he became in
fatuated with Mary, sweet, pretty. but
always idle. The neighbors at first
were puzzled by the double courtship,
but after while they decided that
Mary was the favored one.
Suddenly James married Sally.
The Methodist preacher who per
formed the ceremony had a little of
the curiosity which possesses all man
kind.
James," he said, 1--WE all thought
you were going to marry Mary"
Yes replied James, 'but thought
II married Mary l should have to en-
gage Sally to wait on her II married
Sally she would wait on herself.

Newspaper advertising is generally
recognized in this day and generation
as valuable adjunct in the business
world It is not only regarded by a
large majority Of retail dealers as
necessity and one that pays compound
interest, but the buyers likewise insist
upon consulting the advertising col
umns of their favorite journal.
In the city the popular newspaper
is the daily. In the country the week
ly press has an equally strong hold Ga
the reader. The best argument that
advertising pays is found in the prog
ress advertising has made in the past
few years both in the city daily and
the country weekly.
There Is as much reason why the
country dealer should advertise in his
local newspaper as that the city adver-
tiser should persistently cry his goods
in the city daily. 1t is probable that
the country merchant gets fully as
large returns from his advertising, ac-
cording to the amount expended, as
does the city dealer.
The country dealers newspaper al
nouncements bring returns in in
creased trade. The more care he takes
in preparing his advertisements the
better the results. The advantages Of
an advertisement are not all realized
in a week or even a month The re-
suits are cumulative.
The newspaper advertisements keep
their readers constantly informed as to
what the merchants have for sale.
When an article is needed the dealer
who has been telling the public

The direct returns are not all the

Using, although the investment In it.
self is undoubtedly a reasonably prof
table one. The local newspaper is
constantly pointing out to its readers
the mistaken policy Of buying from
mail order houses and big depart
ment stores. The local advertisement
will still further assist in discourag-
ing the practice and help to keep
money circulating in local channels
that would be lost forever If sent to
catalogue houses. - Mortified Vt)

The suggestion that commission be
created for the purpose OF looking
after railroad wrecks brings to mind
that this sort Of thing Is finding a
prominent place In the government of
this country. We have commissions
for almost everything. yet it is not no
ticed that affairs are administered
with more efficiency than when this
Institution first appeared. There are
times when the commission is demand
ed by some unusual condition, when
It becomes necessary to reach a con-
clusion quickly, and without addi-
tonal assistance the properly consti-
tuted authority would fail In Its duty.
But these cases are rare and do not

Of men at given salary. usually more
than they are worth, for work that
should be done by men already paid

FROM CLERK TO Mac NATE.
Remarkable Rise to Wealth and Power
of James J. Hill.


Forty-one years ago James j. Hill,
the great railroad magnate, who re-
Gently celebrated his 9th birthday an
niversary, was a mud clerk on small
steamboat plying up and down the
Mississippi. A mud clerk in Mississip-
pi River parlance is applied to under
clerks, who go ashore at landings and
check baggage and freight. That is
what Hill was. Not many years later
he controlled the line Of steamboats,
ON which he had been employed as
mud clerk He is Canadian by birth,
having been born at Guelph, Ont, in
1888. His father was Irish, his moth
er Scotch, and while the son had the
characteristics Of both races, he was
essentially American, first and last.
He attended the lockwood Academy,
q Quaker school, for eight years, and
then the death Of his father threw
him upon his own resources, which
were ample At the age Of Is he
looked about him, and finally select
ing St. Paul as the most likely place
In the West for an ambitious young
man, he went there, taking a position
as mud clerk on the Dubuque and st.
Paul Packet Company's line Of steam
boats. In the next few years he served
with various shipping firms, and In
1865 took the agency Of the North
western Packet Company. He served
In this capacity for two years, and

Profitable Fellowship.

Among the pleasures and profits OF
intelligent travel are the companion
ships one forms The well-poised tray-
eler is never afraid to make new
friends. He soon learns to read human
nature sufficiently to know whom to
trust, and he cannot travel, even to a
very limited extent, without meeting
many people well worth knowing. The
little home circle Is delightful and
often helpful, but the view points and
opportunities of our fellow citizens are
so nearly identical that our next-door
neighbors are not apt to furnish as
profitable friendships as persons we
meet whose environments are different
and who have, perhaps, had a wider
range Of opportunities and seen more
of the things worth while, which are
the heritage of the traveller.
When the man who Is familiar with
the East meets the man who has
learned the great story Of the West
the conversation is pretty apt to be
worth listening to.-Four-Track News

all parts of the United States. Inen
there will be no more trips to DaKo-
TO six months residence, and Oh
vorces granted that are really crimes
against laws Of morality
The leader in this important nght
ia Gov. Samuel w. Pennypacker, or
Pennsylvania. At recent session oi
th9 Pennsylvania State Legislature an
appropriation Of $4,000 was made Tor
the purpose Of having the Governor
call for national congress, consist
ing of three men from each State, TO
be appointed by the Governors. Inese
are to draw up a uniform law when Is
afterward to be adopted by the Legls-
lat,lres Of each State. In this way
uniform law can be secured, and at
the same time each State retains It's
right to regulate it's own laws on the
subject Of matrimony~
The bill was introduced into the
Legislature by Senator William T.
Sproul, Of Delaware County. GOV.
Pennypacker knew all its provisions
III advance, and was the more In favor
of them because President Roosevelt
in a message to Congress has thought
the matter Of sufficient moment to de-
vote to it considerable amount OF
discussion, and to recommend acton
to secure uniform laws
In his speeches and arguments Gov
Pennypacker contends with great
force that the laws should be so ar
ranged that no person could obtain
divorce without very grave cause, and
that above all it should not be posi-
BILE to get in a legal way in a for
eign State that which Is not legally
possible in ones commonwealth. He
points out the farce of letting persons
take I'D a six months domicile in am
other commonwealth, and says that
the first provision of the new law
should be a strict order that the di-
vorce must be granted in the State In
| which the applicants lived. He shows
convincingly that the evil Of divorce
has been permitted to grow until it
! has become national menace.
"a few years ago." he says, there
were unhappy marriages, as there will
| always be, but the divorce was COM
| paratiyely rare, for people considered
marriage serious thing, tie that
| could only be dissolved for the most
| fragrant causes. That change has
come over the general public is due in
the first place to the publicity given
| to the decency-defying divorces of the
rich. Others have felt that If the rich
dare quickly and openly cast off ties
that begin to bore, they could do like
wise. AS a result, divorce is extend
ing all over the country, and the good
effect of preventive legislation in some
| States is nullified in others, where di-
vorce is granted to all who apply"
Numerous messages from more than
a score Of States have been received
by Gov. Pennypacker in reply to his
call to the different Governors to unite
In concerted action for the preserva-
ton of the purity Of the American
| home. Gov. Dawson, of West Virgin
la, writes: II am thoroughly in sym
| pathy with this movement and shall
be glad to appoint delegates to such a
congress" In practically similar strain
| other Governors write, all pledging
support Of the movement, which its
advocates believe will put an end to
the present shockingly indecent system
| of divorce.
