Many womn is quite content to
have her books, pictures, and even her
husband chosen for her, but when it
comes to the selection of gown, even
such one rises up and asserts her
self. Lady Curzon is an example of
just the opposite, states the New York
Press. Recipient of veritable won
der gown-a present with the choosing
of which she had naught to do-she
has found pleasure IN it. 1t has salts
fled her exacting fancy to the full, and
has caused stir in blass London
1t was sent to her by an Indian raj
ah and is composed of $4,000 wing
cases of Indian beet -es. They are
sewn upon a silken robe, and lend

folds of the garment. No wonder she
describes it as dream for its color
ing and texture are almost as elusive
as the fabric that dreams are made of.
Nearly every woman that has be-
held the marvel has broken the com
mandment against covetousness, and
though many have tried to duplicate it.
their efforts have been in vain. Both
because of the rarity of the wings and
of the difficulty of afixing them, such
a gown can only be fashioned by years
of work

The COAL BUCKET
OF the World is Southern Illinois
Says J. e. Pace, OF Mt
Vernon.

| In the Herrn News appears a letter
| from j, Il. Pace, of MI Vernon, which
gives some very interesting facts ~
TO the coal output in this section of
the state II seems that conditions
ana prospects are especially good in
Williamson county. Of which Mr. Pace
writes as follows:
Ten or twelve years ago, am told,
there were half dozen coal mines
within the limits of Williamson
county, Today A mines are being
worked in S-hour shifts in this county
giving employment to nearly, II not
quite, 5000 men, who according to the
ratio fixed by the census takers. rep
resent a population of 10000 In this
instance that estimate would not be
without families, together with the
fact that the entire population of vii.
hanson county Is estimated at not
more than 10000 Let me give you
a few figures obtained from reliable
source in Marion today:
The annual output of Williamson
county mines is already 100000
tons, or daily product of 500 tons,
approximately. The average price Of
this product at the pit. is $l.25 per
ton, which represents the annual in.
come to the county of sl2,500,000
About 70 per cent o fthis is absorb,
ed by labor etc, at the mine and in
marketaing, much of the coal being
hauled / 200 TO 500 miles, to extreme
northwestern southwestern and south
era points.
Your correspondent met Exon.

The time is not far distant when
