| A PRACTICAL WARDROBE
| It is quite possible that many women viii have
recently purchased some of the itemized requis-
fites also that a few have been left over from
last summer, so that not as great an outlay
will be required as though all were purchased at
this time.
A silk frock, one Of pongee, colored OF natural
hue, china silk Or foulard, made up into plain
or more dressy shirtwaist, is one of the cool
est and most serviceable garments woman may
possess. It serves nicely for travelling and on
chilly stormy days, when thin, wispy frocks
would be out of the question. Such frock
saves the laundry bills and is worn quite late
| into the autumn. Great reductions are on all
/ silks. %& Is

garments especially adapted for specific purposes.
There Will be train wrap, one for driving

4 SATISFYING STORY.
II Worked 10th Ways In Behalf OF
the Congressman.

Some years ago there came TO Wash
lngton u representative in congress
from Iowa who was an ardent cham
plon Of the cause Of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see the congressman. During the
course of his stay he had occasion to
use his pocketknife, which the repre-
sentative much admired. This knife
had In ii n hook, designed" 80 the
friend said, ito remove stones that
might become fastened in a horses
hoof on a rocky road" Finally, seeing
the intense admiration of the congress
man for the knife, the friend gave it to
him. When the statesman had reached
home and had shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
John" said she, ANY man who has
served three terms in the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms in congress must be n pretty
good man If he doesn't know a cham
payne opener from u hoof cleaner"
Somehow the story got out and was
copied by nearly every newspaper In
Iowa. One day the congressman met
the newspaper man whom he under
stood to be the author Of the first squil
in the matter.
"You did me a great service" smil
ingly said the representative to the
correspondent. "All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view Of my ig
norance, and all the 'antis' are insist
Ing that I'm n devil of a good fellow
for imposing &c successfully on my
wife. 1t works in my behalf which

A DYED BEARD.
IL Probably Changed the History of
the Whole Human Race.


The most striking ease in history of
the Importance of triflcs is furnished
by the story of Musa, the leader of the
Moslem host which won from Christen-

ions which 1t took the soldiers of the
cross twenty generations to win back.
He had n red beard. This was n trifie.
Musa, though n very great general,
was a very vain man, and he dyed his
beard black. This was another trifie.
One of his captains chaffed him on the
subject. and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and s%courged. For this, at
the very height of his conquering ca

BABIES IN HOLES.
where Uganda Infants Rest while
Their Mothers Hoe.

tnUhE Etpes
I have gone into a field In Uganda
and there found one of our women at
work with "a hoe, writes a missionary
sister In Donahoe's. I asked her where
her baby Maria was, and she pointed
to a spot at some distance where the
banana trees were thick. l walked
under the shade, and in vain I sought
the infant. The mother was greatly
amused and urged me to search fur
Their, assuring me that the little one
was not far away and was fast asleep.
l had to give up" so the mother took
me by the hand and led me to a bit of
bark cloth on the ground. Under this
rag was the crown Of the baby's head,
wtdh the body was in q hole deep
enough for the feet to rest on the
grodnd. To my surprise and expostu.
latlons she said In her own language
"This Is a good custom. When q
Uganda woman goes to hoe 1t is not
good for her baby to lie asleep on the
ground, as 1t might injure itself by
rolling, or, IL it awoke. it might crawI
away. Therefore we make a hole like
this and line it with soft, clean leaves
and put u baby safely into it so that
it can neither crawl out nor roll away
and we know exactly where to find II
when we come from the fields" She
said it was perfectly safe from wild
beasts, because 1t was midday.

Julius Caesar was a thin man, tall
and with a very wrinkled, seamy

and full OF wrinkles. His eyes were not
large, but described as exceedingly
bright and quick. His nose was of
more than usual size and his chin full
and prominent. He walked with a
slight. scholarly stoop in his shoulders.
His ears stood out well from his head,
and his hair was always cut close.

There is hardly any known crop which, o. a irrigated farm, will not yield
from 80 ito 100 per cent moret than the same crop n a rain farm. An irrigated
farm responds to the brains and labor of a farmer in a way that makes his
return certain. When the crops are planted in the spring under irrigation,
practically very chance against his success for the yea is eliminated, and
that the returns he will get in the fall can be measured accurately by the
amount of work he puts into the soil and the amount of brains he uses in APP
plying his labor.
