little sleeve. I think one of the most
becoming sleeves is the trelliswork of
chenille, studded, perhaps, with jet,
and edged with fringe. The shape of
the arm is very often ruined by an ILL
fitting sleeve. The manipulation of the
sleeve, therefore, should receive most
careful attention. No woman looks
we'll dressed unless she knows how to
put on her clothes; the best dress
maker in the world cannot invest the
wearer with the meaning of the gown.
AS to hats, l should like to point out
one or two important changes which
have taken place in the millinery
world since last season. We have
completely done away with hat brims
which are longer at the back than the
front, and we no longer hide the back
Of our necks! Cloche hats-even those
in mushroom form-are still very
fashionable, but they are no longer
exaggerated in outline and they are
worn on the head. And then we are
becoming very enthusiastic over the

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
OF the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told we're grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would it be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing Of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country DOS
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
5she case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think
When q similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like OF which we had
never seen before. But to think of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cabbages, caulifowers, beets, man
colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for 100
acres. If adjoining land is wanted it
can be secured from tle railway COM
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms

and trimmed with handsome feathers
Or with immense clusters of flowers.
Black taffeta hats bound with black
silk braid are possessed of. much
charm. IN this connection the braid is
always wide and rather coarse in tex.
ture; it forms an important binding
for the clcche brim and is the best
of taste with taiiof-made costumes.
For afternoon wear we shall have
many of the best hats edged, or bound,
with fur, and already have seen seal
skin used in this way-witb excellent
results
As a final word on heads and hats
let me Just say that the great object
of the fashionable woman of the hour
is to have her hair and hat in COM
plete accord. 1t must either be that
the hair is dressed out to meet the hat
or that the hat is crushed in to meet
the hair; whichever be the method
chosen the result must be perfect har-
mony Of outline. Hats are smaller than
they were last season, and-teads de-
cidedly larger!

APPOINTING THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE
MOST SERIOUS DUTIES THAT DEVOLVE
UPON THE PRESIDENT.

ton IL retained by the department "for
keeps" and it is a copy that is sent
by special messenger to the govern.
ment printing office, to be put into
type. Printed copies are given to the
newspapers, or to anybody who wants
them; but there must be typewriter
copies for the governor of each state
and territory of the union, and these
are made at the White House and
mailed from there.
1t will thus be seen that the issuing
Of the annual Thanksgiving proclama-
ton Is, from beginning to end, quite
an elaborate piece of business. There
is no law to compel the president to
make 1t, and Mr.. Roosevelt, If he had
so chosen, might have omitted it this
year or during his administration. Or.
If 1t should seem proper to him next
year, he might choose another day
say, the LIST Of January-instead of the
last Thursday in November. But 1t Is
reasonably certain that he will do
neither Of these things, for custom
holds fast in the bonds of usage the
chief magistrate of the nation equally
with the plainest citizen.
AS everybody knows, the celebration
Of Thanksgiving day dates back to the
Puritans. At irregular intervals, after
their arrival in this country, they set
dates by public announcement for
prayer and feasting, In recognition of
blessings vouchsafed from on high.
Following this example, in the early
history of the republic, days of thanks
giving were appointed by the president
for special reasons.
But somehow the pious custom fell
into allegiance, and for many years
there was no national Thanksgiving,
until, during the civil war, a woman,
Sarah Josepha Hale, who edited a
woman's paper. and who had been
chiefly instrumental in raising $4,000
to complete the Bunker Hill monument
took up the matter, and persuaded
Abraham Lincoln to take an interest
in 1t. Thus 1t came about that Mr..
Lincoln issued a proclamation in 1864,
appointing the last day Of November
OF that year as day Of prayer and re-
Joicing. Since then the custom has
held, and there has been an annual
thanksgiving celebration for the en-.

Persian Easy to Learn.

Persian is said to be not a very diff
ficult language. The modern, Persian
is very much like the English in its
sensible rejection of the infections
that burden so many of the worlds
tongues. There is no difference OF
termination to mark the gender, either
in nouns or adjectives, and all mani
mate things are neuter. In other
ways the Persian conforms to the

PROMISE OF IMMUNITY
NOT GIVEN To LOOMS
Witness Against Hermann
Believes, However, He
VIII Obtain 1t

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Attorney
worthington continued his effort for
the defense in the Hermann trial to-
day to ascertain whether DR.. Clark
Loomis OF Oregon was Influenced in the
testimony he gave yesterday for the
Government by promises of immunity.
The witness said he had never had a
promise OF immunity; but" he added,
I am satisfied ] could obtain immu-
nifty"
Loomis was permitted to give the
details Of the negotiations between
himself and S. A d. Puter regarding
immunity after the latter's conviction
Of land frauds in Oregon. During a
single day Puter went back and forth
six or seven times from the witness to
Government Attorney T. J. Heney and
Secret Service Agent Burns in Port
land, Loomis said, to arrange this i'm
munity. His efforts failed because the
attorneys wanted Loomis to state TO
Puter what he knew before they would
let him come before them. Loomis
said the gist Of the matter was that he
repeated again and again to Puter
that he was not certain that he knew
anything that the attorneys wanted,
but was very anxious to make any ar
rangement possible for immunity. He
said he did not know whether Puter
conferred with the Government attor-
neys, but believed that he had.
In his long experience as special
agent for the land Office in Oregon, DR..
Loomis said, the money he took to
report favorably upon the twelve Puter
claims was all that he had ever taken.
