might be worked in dull blues and

the bag is intended as a gift to an old

out in purple and mauve. The drawn

the cloth. 1t is sewn on at the dotted

Stubborn Paper Wad.

Did you ever see a paper wad that
is so stubborn that it will fly in the
face of n who tries to compel it to go
into the neck of a bottle? The more you
try to blow it in the more it leaves the
bottle. You can try this with any large
bottle and a paper wad or cork small
enough to fit very closely in its neck.
Holding the bottle so that it points di-
rectly at your mouth and placingthec cork
in the neck, the harder you blow on the
cork for the purpose of driving it into
the bottle the more forcibly will the
cork rush from its place in the neck.
Try this stunt and see if you can dis
cover what causes the peculiar action
of the paper wad.

GOWN WITH SURPLIcE.
One of the Newest and Most Effective
Departures This Season
Has Displayed.

The bodice is made with a surplice
back and front, the front being quite
low and curved, instead of pointed, at
the crossing of the right surplice over
the left. This fastens upon the UNDER
arm seam. Across the front of the mid
die of the right surplice, where ii is
drawn in the ceinture effect, are set a
row of knotted taffeta loops with a
rosette at each end. Ayoke and stock of
soft green and white oriental embroidery
white lace should be worn for very
dressy occasions) is worn with this bod
ice. The SUPPLIES are slit from the shoul-
der a little way down, and the front and
back ones are joined on the shoulder in
two places, where they are drawn to-
gether in a knot of taffeta. This separat-
ing of them of course allows the en-
broidery of the yoke to show upon the

Last of the Mohicans,

When the days are cool and clear the
tuberculosis patients on North Brother
Island wrap themselves in the blue
blankets furnished by the city and sit
in the open air for a sun bath.
A short time ago, says the New York
Sun, the health commissioner conducted
a party of peace delegates to the island
They were from England, and had seen
pictures of the North American In
dian.
"How Interestingly" remarked n Wis
itor, as the boat was about to land. "See
how peacefully they sit. Are they the
last of the Mohicans?"

The Window Dresser.

Men who dress the windows of the
large stores in the shopping districts
wear bags of cotton cloth over their
shoes, presumably TO protect the fine
fabrics they have often to walk over.
Slippers would no doubt answer as
well, but the bags are in general use.
To wear them may be a trade tradi-
ton. Much of the fixing up is done at
night in this rush season, and the men
may often be seen at work behind
drawn shades. When the shades do
not quite reach to The bottom of the
window the swaddled feet moving
about so actively are rather a queer
sight.

too good a soldier not to keep a SHARP
eye for possible trouble. When he left
camp he brought his gun away witt
him and secreted it in a hollow los
before he reached the British lines
1t was a relief to find the gun still il
the log when he returned for it, anc
with it over his shoulder he felt more
secure as he trudged campward through
the timber. Not only did he keep q
sharp lookout for any possible British
soldiers, but also for any possibl,
small game that he might entrap in
the deep snow, hoping that a savory
meal contributed to his captains table
might serve to appease that officer'f
wrath toward himself.
He wcs within two miles of the Con
tinental lines when he detected the
figures of men moving through the
timber some distance ahead of him.
Secreting himself in the brush he
awaited developments and was re-
warded by seeing two British soldiers
approaching directly towards him, ons
VI WllUlu CdlllCu Oh NAol ILLUS Iulhcy.
He had faced greater odds than two to
one on many a battlefield, and hesitated
not a moment when they were within
a few feet of him, and with his gun
at the ready" commanded them to
surrender.
Now" said Marin, when be had
the two soldiers at has mercy, Il will
make a bargain with you. Tomorrow
is Il generals birthday and he needs
the very bird you carry for a dinner
party. In fact, it was to secure it that
| have been in these woods. If you
will deliver the bird to me O can
return to your well provided kitchens
in the city. If you will not you can
about face and march before me into
camp"
1t was more than Il fair bargain that
Martin offered and the British did not
hesitate in taking advantage of it
With many promises of nc attempt al
retaliation they placed the bird in the
snow and marched away toward the city,
Martin watching them until they we're
we'll out of sight in the timber. Then,
taking the turkey under his arm, hi
again set out for the Continental camp,
which he soon reached.
Who comes there?' hailed the SEN,
try.
IA friend with a birthday dinner for
the general" replied Martin; but the
turkey would not serve as a counter
sign and the officer OF the guard was
called. To him Martin insisted upon
being taken to the generals headuuar-
tiers that he might present his prize In
person.
"A birthday dinntr to Gen. Wash
ington with the compliments OF Beccy
Roherback and the Third New York
foot" said Martin, when ushered into
the presence of the commanding off.
Ger, land with the hope that he will
invite Capt. Ro%sterhoIse, of that regi-
ment, to eat a birthday dinner with
him."
Then Martin explained Beccy's con-
nection with the presentation and his
own dereliction from duty, not for
getting a description of Beccy's bright
eyea and rosy cheeks. 1t is needless
to say that Martin did not go TO the
g~uard-house, and that the wrath OF
Capt. Rosterhouse was appeased when
he was invited to dtLe with the gen.
eral the mex day. which. being Feb

Take Care of the Hands.

1t is the easiest thing in the world to,
do ones Homework wearing old gloves
that belong to some man of the house
hold, and are too soiled for him to
wear longer. The advantage in a mans
gloves is that they are larger, and so
leave the hand free to work, Never
do any homework without wearing
these. They will save the nails and

False Reports.
In almost every wet and dry cleo
ton over the state certain false re-
ports have been circulated on cleo
tion day or few days before that
they have damaged the "dry cause"
You are hereby put on guard against
such reports.
They are all circulated for the ex
press purpose of weakening the pro-
hibitionists.
Already reports have been circu-
lated that the bar rooms of Jackson
vile and Tampa nave given money
to carry the county dry. This is alb
solutely false.
ANOTHER REPORT has been circu-
lated that officers will search private
houses, and a citizen will not be al
lowed even to keep bottle of whis-
key in his own house for medicinal
or for any other purpose, all of these
reports are groundless and untrue.
OTHER REPORTS will likely be cir
culated on election day when it is
too late to deny them.
They are all false and circulated
for effect.
We wish to call your attention to
the law which says that if a county
goes wet, that any precinct that
goes wet will be allowed to have an
open bar room. but if the precinct
goes dry, even though the county
goes wet, no bar room can be put in
that precinct.
Do you want bar room in your
precinct?
If not, it is for you to decide
whether your precinct will be wet or
dry. If you do not want an open bar
in your precinct. why in the name of
justice will you want it in someone
else's precinct?
Remember: If the county should
go wet" and Ocala precinct s'dry''
which latter event manv of the
''wets are now fearful of, and we
think highly probable from present
indications, your town may be the
home of the open saloon in event the
"wets'' carry your precinct. Do not
forget the experience of Reddick i'm
