For many years it has been the pur,

of our Confederate dead, and now that
we have succeeded in erecting mOn'
ument after many years OF endeavor,
we turn our attention to enclosing the
spot where 80 many brave sons OF the
South lie sleeping peacefully. 1t would
be base ingratitude to our fathers and
mothers to neglect those who fell so
nobly in their discharge of their duty.

have 80 bonored us by their devotion
and loyalty to cause which II won

of this day to allow the graves of these

The Sure Foundation.

Some are all their days laying the
foundation, and are never able to build
upon it to any comfort to themselves
or usefulness to others; and the rea-
son is. because they will be mixing
with the foundation, stones that are
only for the following building. Iney
will be bringing their obedience, du-
ties, modification Of sin, and the like
unto the foundation. These are pre-.
cious stones to build with. but unmeet
to be first laid, to bear upon them the
whole wei ght of the building. Inc
foundation is to be laid in grace, mer-
cy, pardon in the blood Of Christ. But
if the foundation be Of grace, it IS not
at all of works: otherwise grace Is no
more grace. If anything or our own
be mixed with grace in this matter, 1t
utterly destroyed the nature of grace
which, if it be not alone, is not at all.

It's bladder traps are curious pear
shaped organs, and some Of them were

by the tails. The captives were qnite

was unable to escape. The mosquito

they have the knowledge necessary to
recognize the disease and know what
simple remedies are best. TO meet : Is

Leghorn the All-Round Hat.

Never before has the perfect costume
required so many accessories. A few
years ago the woman who had three
of four pairs of shoes was considered
we'll dressed, and that number of hats
in one wardrobe was almost an ex-
travagance, but to-day every different
gown makes its demands for shoes and
gloves, girdles and hats to match. Leg
horn solves the millinery problem fer
many women who want 4 hat to 60
with all sorts of gowns. Easily queen
of the fashionable straws, it looks
equally well with tailored suits and
thin gowns: with linens and with silks.
When trimmed with black it is actu'
ally suitable for any and every oc-
casion when anything but mourning
may be worn.

Breakfast jackets are in demand at
all seasons of the year, but especially
so with the coming Of warm weather.
This year they are to be worn both
with odd skirts and also with those
to match such simple materials as
lawn, dimity and the like being used
for the purpose. Illustrated is an ex-
ceedingly attractive, graceful and alto
gether desirable model that allows
of several variations, so becoming
available both for the dressy jacket
and for the plain one designed for pro-
saic service. In the illustration it is
made of white lawn with trimming OF
embroidery and beading threaded with
ribbon. the washable being the most
desirable sort. 1t, however, will be
found appropriate for all materials
used for jackets Of the sort, and when
the V-shaped neck and elbow sleeves
are used, frills can be Of the material
or lace quite as well as Of the en-
broidery. The beading at the waist
line confines it at that point but is not
obligatory, as the jacket can be left
loose if better liked.
The jacket consists Of the fronts
and the back. The back is plain, but
the fronts are tucked at the shoulders.
Whether the sleeves are in elbow or
quarter length, they are gathered
at their lower edges and finished with
straight bands, the frills being at
tached to these when desired. The
frill at the neck is shaped and falls
in graceful lines. When high neck is
used q turnover collar makes the
finish.

Why the Jury Paid the Fine,

A Texas correspondent tells how an
obstinate juryman was circumvented
by his fellow-judges of the facts. The
offense charged was assault with intent
to murder. After the jury had been
out about two hours it returned the
following verdict: 1--WE, the jury, find
the defendant guilty Of aggravated as
sault, and assess his punishment at
f25 fine, and herewith pay the fine"
On inquiry as to the meaning Of the
last clause of the verdict it came out
that eleven of the jurors had agreed
that the defendant was not guilty, but
the twelfth doggedly hung out for a
conviction for aggravated assault, and
would not consent to punishment less
than a fine of $50. Finding it hope.
less task to bring over the obstinate
one to their way of thinking, the eleven
finally decided to agree with him, and
Clipped in enough to pay the fine
