Wise and Otherwise.
3-By G. A. Y.-g

One hundred of the business
men of the city of Rochester,
Mimi, have met and resolved to
employ no man or boy who smokes
cigarettes. This is one of the
wisest moves I have ever noted.
Chicago is disgraced by the
presence of more than two thou
sand cases of typhoid fever. Ty-
phoid fever is a disease bred by
filth, and this awful visitation on
the western metropolis demon
strates that some one has blum
dered and Numbered fatally, and
that that "some one' should be
made to pay dearly for such care
less and deadly mistake.
Women suffrage has been de-
feated in the South Dakota legis-
lature; an amendment to the con-
stitutiop granting women the Fright
of suffrage is before the Minnesota
legislature and will meet a like
fate. Personally, I believe it a
righteous measure; one that will
do much to purify politics and
legislation and sound the death
knell Of legalized liquor traffic,
but do not believe it will come
until the women are themselvesin-
terested; when they become inter-
ested sufficiently to demand it, it
will come and come quickly.
Women suffrage means the end CT
the saloon and of license; when
every grocery, drygoods store and
butcher shop will have free
barrel, and tin cup in the back
room, where all who desire may
drink their fill without money and
without price. When this day
arrives universal drunkenness will
have ceased.
The press dispatches convey the
information that our redoubtable
friend Bernarr Macfadden. of
Physical Culture, is again in the
tolls of the law for circulating OBJ
scene matter thru the mails.
Bernarr Macfadden is pioneering
a great work for humanity, and, as
pioneer, must bear the cross, as
have all pioneer reformers since
time began. To the pure in mind
all things are pure, and to the
filthy and debased in mind all
things are lewd and filthy. have
read Physical Culture and many
of Macfadden's books with much
profit; true, there are many things
which to an obscenely tended mind
are obscene, but to an earnest
seeker after the real truth concern

lations between the sexes, all his
books that I have read, at least.
are worth their weight in gold.
Books and papers that pander to
depraved tastes, suggestive pic
lures and such Objectionable mat
ter should be kept out of the
hands of every man, woman and
child possible, but such carefully
written, instructive publications
as those of Macfadden's should be
placed in the hands of all intelli-
gent human beings, and the day
is not far distant when this will be
done; then mash" marriages will
cease, divorce will literally be for
gotten, children will be welcomed
by both father and mother. It
cannot impair the modesty or re-
finement of any young man or
maiden to thoroughly understand
their respective physical makeups
from A to z, and there relations
one to the other. Too many learn
these essentials too late and their

very favorably of the article that
appeared in last weeks paper en-

ity. The man knew what he was
talking about, and therein lies its
chief charm. We hope to hear
from this splendid writer again.

Lady Suffolk enjoys the rare honor
of having a hat named after her. 1t
bids fair to become as famous as the
Gainsborough. The hat, which comes
from the workshop of q celebrated
French hat designer, is built upon the
dish shape. It's brim turns down all
the way around, but one side is lifted
upon a bandeau. Under the lifted side
there are three red roses-American
beauty, pale red and pinliish red.
The Suffolk hat, in it's original, is a
pale gray. It is trimmed around the
crown with some deep gray roses; and
under one side there are three roses
in varying shades of gray. Thus it be-
comes semi-mourning hat.
The hats this year are decidedly out
of the usual running. They are differ
ent from the hats of any previous
season, and there is very little resem-
blance to be traced even to last years
hat. So decided is the change that it
is actually difficult to wear any of last
summers shapes.
In period the hats might be called
one hundred years old, for they par
take of the square Or dish qualities of
one hundred years ago and they also
have the floral traits of those hats of
bygone times.
The Hats Are Unusual.
Those who like something out of
the ordinary will have no trouble in
being suited But it remains for the
women of taste to select a hat that is
becoming to her. These new shapes
are trying until one learns how to
wear them.

a hat for spring, a general utility hat

foundation. The suit was two-piece

was short, with square points in front,
one of those plain but Frenchy little
affairs trimmed with bit of en-
broidery and tied with wide blue silk
cravat at the bust.
The shirtwaist, which was plainly
visible, was of the lingerie variety
without being too sheer for wear with
shopping suit.
The hat was navy blue mushroom
| with twist Of navy blue velvet
around the crown and an immense
| bunch of garden flowers at the right
side. The shopping umbrella was
navy blue with wood handle and a
bow of blue taffeta around the handle;
and the gloves were long tan colored
ones to match the tan boots.
Those who wear tan shoes are glad
! to know that the tan colored rubbers
and white ones at popular prices are
beginning to make their appearance.
They are high in the heel, rather
pointed in the toe and eminently fit to
be worn over the pretty shoes of the
| season.
In the day and house coats the little
white lace affair is to be much worn.
With handsome Irish lace bridge
coat woman can get through the so
cial season very nicely, wearing her
old lingerie waists and her last years
dinner skirts. The white lace bridge
coat, with it's lovely little satin chou
and it's wide girdle Of silk, will bridge
over the chasm between waist and
skirt in case they should not quite
match.
There is something of passion for
embroidery put on in the new way
Hand embroidery straps are used to
trim box plated skirts. Three or four
of the little straps are placed up the
side of the skirt in such manner as
to bind the plaits together. The
straps afford pleasant relief from the
monotony of the box plaits.
An old box-plaited cloth skirt car
be made to look quite new by the appll
cation of panel of these emproidereG
| straps.

will fail utterly, for there is no such
thing as a hat of general wear this
season. All hats are specially de-
signed to go with certain costumes,
and most hats are made to order and
fitted to the head. The couture must
always be worn in the same manner
with the same hat.
The fashionable hats are trimmed
in the new shades. There is a lovely
aat of white trimmed with apricot yell
low which goes we'll with the tan
dresses of the season and with the
chamois and mustard colors. It can
be modified somewhat by making the
hat of black, with trimmings of the
apricot yellow. A chain of tiny yellow
roses with their green leaves encir-

! There are hats made this season
with no bandeau at all; the hat sets
rather fatty upon the head; but this
calls for a great deal of hair dressing
There must be puffs and coronet
braids and amasses of little curls
Many of the, flat hats have these puffs
and curls attached to the side.' The
hair is matched to the couture and the
hat is pinned on SO that the curls and
puffs arrange themselves naturally
with the aid of a pin or two. :: !

to hear one of his new compositions
played by this band. The composer
was mystified until the lights were
raised, when 200 soldiers were re-
vealed each with a horn or trumpet
in his hand varying in size from one
and one-half inches to 20 feet. Each
instrument and each performer pro-

Historical Souvenir of the Building
Recently Presented to the Alamo

Many Patriots.

An historical souvenir of the old
stone fort at Nacogdoches was re-
Gently presented to the Alamo by
William H. and Walter T. Crouch,
says the San Antonio Express.
This interesting souvenir is made
Of the historic wood of the old stone
fort Of Nacogdoches, Tex.
1t is a gavel and block with photo
graphs of William H. Crouch and
Walter T. Crouch The photographs
are inlaid on the block in the shape
Of five-pointed star. History states
in the necessity for an official seal,
Gov. Smith used a five-pointed brass
button cut from his old coat, thus
originating the beautiful emblem-the
five-pointed star.
There is not another building per-
haps in the United States besides the
stone fort that could claim with GER
tanty the peculiar distinction of hav-
ing in its career f1oated from it's
ramparts at different times the ma
tional emblems Of five different gov
eTnments, of which two are foreign.
The national emblem Of the stone fort
and those who claimed or sought pro-
lection therefrom was the Spanish
fag-the dual ensign of CASTLE and
Aragon. This flag had it's origin in
the uniform of CASTLE and AragOn by
the marriage of Ferdinand and 1sa-
bella. 1t was under its protection
that the final plans of the Fredonians
were arranged after the expulsion
and retreat of Piedros.
