have made him repellent had it not
been that he applied it only in matters
directly or indirectly bearing upon the

When Steve, returning from a winter
in the Mediterranean, entered a ball
room-Mrs. Galloway's magnificent
bronze and blue ball room it was, in
the house Galloway looted the Seaboard
Central to pay for-when Steve entered
and saw Anne Sulloway directly oppo-
site, in charming relief against soft,
dim old tapestry, he said half aloud,
Just my good luck!" He often used
that phrase, so rarely did Fate even try
to cheat him of his desires. He had
never been taught to want anything
that money would not buy; and the
few things of value yet without a
money price do not obtrude themselves
upon youth. Just my good luckl

The Shirt Waist Suit.

There were rumors a1oat early
in the season that the shirt waist
snit would not be in its usual high
favor with this years summer girl, y
writes Grace Margaret Gould in
Woman's Home Companion for
July. Every one was proclaiming
the universal vogue of the jumper
dress.
"Now. however, the tide is turn
ing, and the shirt waist suit is again
asserting itself. And there is no
doubt that it is smarter than ever.
''Of course, the shirt-waist suit
has had to look to it's laurels, and
perhaps that's why the new designs
are so original and extremely attrac-
tive. All sorts of materials are
used, from the new voile in a worst
ed suiting pattern to an inexpensive
striped bingham. Brown linen is
also in high favor for shirt-waist
suit. Other materials which are in
vogue are figured madras, pigue,
rep, cotton poplin,
pongee and striped and checked
silks"

BY A STRAY BULLET
Mrs. May Greenwood Re
ceives Injury But Will
Get Better.

Public Librarian Mrs. Greenwood
is confined to her home, as the re-
suit of an injury received from a
stray bullet shot from the gun of
some careless person. Mrs. Green
wood was sitting at her machine
sewing when the bullet came
through the window and struck her
in the head just back of the ear.
The bullet was latter found flatten-
ed against the skull. No serious
results are feared and it is hoped
that Mrs. Greenwood will soon re-
cover. Only from the fact that the
bullet was of small calibre. and
had spent it's force in it's flight does
she owe her life.

uC AuCl IC01 FCOPIO HO w
so long been accustomed to a
president VINO is never ''gra-
yelled for lack of matter"
that the chan &c to Taft, if
that is what destiny has in
store, is likely to beiattended
by considerable discomfort.
For seven years we shall
have had an executive SO
cram full of ideas on al sub
jects Legislative, administra-
tive and ethical that they
burst from him like a geyser
on the least provocation. Not
since Roosevelt went in has
there been anything du-
bious about his stand on
any question whatever. He
is planted firmly with both
feet in we'll defined attitude
toward all of them, from rate
regulation to simplified spell
ing, and he is bound to make
the stand taken, and the rea-
sons for it, plain to the hum
blest intelligence. To shift
from a president more closely
in touch with the people than
any other in forty years, to
the sphynx-like Taft, will be
like exchanging a winged
Mercury for a Buddha. And
there are a good many who
are not going to be in love
with the change.
Never in the whole of his
career did Roosevelt let such
a chance go by as was twice
given Taft in Wisconsin to
say something memorable and
to the point, something bear
ing on public policies or pri-
vate conduct, something of
moment to those to whom he
spoke. Not a word fell from
Taft worth remembering or
talking about. The action of
Wisconsin's railway commits
sion, the advanced stand on
public questions taken by her
senator, the western move
ment of tariff revision-all
these are suggestive and
timely topics, comment on
which would have been signi-
ficant and revealing, but no
such comment escaped his
lips. He would have aroused
more interest by adverting to
the development of midcon-
tinental waterway than by
advocating enlargement of
the army in preparation for
war. It does not require
much penetration to perceive
that the secretary has ideas
of his own, and will by mol
means identify himself with
another mans policies. With
Taft, if we lapse to Taft, wei
return to the day of devious
politics from which the pub
lie is excluded, to an admins
tration whose policies are as
certained as they materialize,
instead of being ideals urged
from the White House upon
all and sundry who have had |
good government at heart.
No greater contest than
between Taft and Roosevelt |
can be imagined. The diff
ference between a live wire
and a solid bulk but family |
typifies that between the
alert, aggressive Roosevelt
and the sluggish, if powerful,
Taft. There might be anoth-
err change, however, that
would not be SO marked. mi

Result of Prisoners, work.

The prisoners in Washington county,
since the new law went into effect, have
netted the state by labor $513,03 up to
the first of September During the
month of August the total earnings were
1897 so and the expenses $152.17, max
ing net profit of $1S5.33, which is the
best record thus far. The first prisoner
went to work in that county under the
provisions of the new law in March, but
nothing to amount to anything was
saved from the prison labor up to the
first of June. Since the first the total
earnings have been $916.40 and the
expenses $403.37. This makes the net
profit $513.03 practically for the months
of June, July and August. This amount
that has been earned for the state
doesn't represent the total amount
earned, for since the Inauguration of the
honor system whereby an honest man
can get small amount for himself by
doing good work, a considerable amount
has been paid the prisoners themselves.
