River Falls Wins Again.

The good people of Hudson have
for some years applied the name
Nut Crackers" to all persons liv-
ing on this branch of the Omaha,
including residents of River Falls
and Ellsworth. They have come to
the conclusion that there is no nut
too hard for us to crack.
Their decisive defeat at Still
water a week ago, Sunday, was bad,
but the cracking they got at New
Richmond last Friday was worse.
They went to New Richmond with
a stronger team than they had at
Saltwater, reinforced with Drexo,
the U. of M. pitcher, and Boyle, the
crack Michigan Lacquer, and were
determined to win.
They led at the start, as before,
but River Falls played ball every
minute of the game and managed to
collect seven runs to their oppo-
nentS' three.
Lien pitched elegant ball and was
supported by his team mates to per1
lection. Frank E. Force of the
Minneapolis Tribune umpired and
the fact that there was no wrang-
ling proves that he did it we'll.
The same teams play at ELS
worth tomorrow, Friday, and the
game should be a good one.

In a letter from E. /. Gilmore at
Vincennes, Indiana, under date
August Is, 'O7, to the Editor of the
Ellsworth Record, and published in
full in the Record of this date, Mr..
Gilmore says, among other things:
1.-The work of newspaper, espe-
cially in small cities, is becoming
more and more that of a high and
worthy work because Of the excel
lent opportunity it has of welding
mighty influence in the social,
political, moral and economic world,
Martin Luther said that the calling
equally as great and useful as
preaching the Gospel, was that of
teaching. Does not a clean. newsy
paper both preach and teach? If
what you preach and what you teach
is of the proper quality then your
mission to your fellow man as an
editor and paper manager is doubly
great and useful"

JOHN DIETZ SELLS DAM.
A Widely Noted Case Seems to
be at Point of Settlement.

1t would appear from reports that
the noted Cameron Dam case will
soon be settled. According to tele-
grams published in the Milwaukee
papers, John F. Dietz has sold his
property to the Chippewa Log and
Boom Co. for $4,000, and the logs
which have been held at this place
will be allowed 10 pass through.
There have been several warrants
issued for his arrest, and whether
there will be any further effort made
to serve them, of course is not
known. The probability is that he
will be allowed to go unmolested as
the authorities see in any attempt
to bring him to justice bad polit-
ical move, the sympathy being SO
strongly in Dietz's favor.
The case is widely celebrated, and
is certainly most remarkable one.
Dietz has with the aid of his family
withstood the authorities, in fact
has fought them off. He has shown
great courage. If his acts have not
been entirely lawful, he believed
that he was contending for principle,
and his evident sincerity, his cour-
age and the sympathy which people
naturally show for an idividual
when he has any difficulty with a
corporation, have raised him to the
place of hero in the popular mind.
The sale will make him quite in
dependent financially and it is
thought that he will remove with
his family from that part of the
state,

How to Make Fringe

TT is often desired to have a fringe
for trimming that will match in
4 thread and color embroidery or the
material embroidered upon, but it is
not always possible to find it, However.
the woman who knits may make her
own fringe without much labor or ex
pense.
Here are the directions for making a
fringe one inch and a half wide that
may be used in many ways.
1t is a good finish for Mountmellick
embroidery or for curtains and table
covers, when it should be made OF the
same thread as that used for the en-
broidery. The silk that is generally
used is knitting silk No. 800. Two steel
needles No. Is are used.
Cut about half the silk on the spool
into strands two inches long, then with
silk from the spool knit on stitches
and knit across plain.
First row-knit 2, put two of the cut
strands together evenly, and place be-
tween the two needles so that one-half
the length will be each side of the
work; knit l, bring the two strands from
the back to the front of the work, so
there will be four threads in front; knit
2, place the four threads to the back;
knit l. bring the four threads forward
and knit 1.
Second row-Knit plain. Repeat these

How to Dar i'm Laces

n IrH tdarnIng of marrow lace edges
is most difictlt matter.
L kThe tear is/a serious one. the
edges Of TIE lace can be basted upon
the selgageS of muslin and placed in the
embroidery hoop.
Care must be taken not to sew into
the muslin.
If the edge is destroyed entirely or in
part. the Lace may be basted upon white
Letter pape-and stitched several times
to farm a new edge and cross-threads
stitched to hold this edge in place. then
the paper pulled away and the remain
ing stitches put in on the machine or by
hand
Hamburg edgings and insertions can
be darned in the same way. They should
preferably be free of starch and smooth
ly ironed to facilitate perfect work.
White mosquito netting that has been
washed nil be found to give a good
foundation for darning coarsely woven
underwear on the machine. and soft
black mosquito netting should be basted
under the holes in the knees of boys
stockings
1t should be basted directly across the
hole and the machine darning be done
directly upon it The rough edges and
threads can afterward be trimmed away.
When you are through darning upon
the machine. do not forget to replace
the pressure on the pressure foot and the
stitch action to the feed, otherwise you
may be very much puzzled the next time
you go TO the machine and wonder why
IT won't make stitch
Darning upon the single thread or
chainstitch machines is somewhat more
difficult. the machine will sew in only
one direction. and the thread must be
broken of before the lifting of the pres
sure foot, at the completion of each row
of stitching.
This leaves a multiplicity of loose ends
ON the under side of the work. Unless
great care is taken to clip these ends
they are very apt TO catch into the sew
ing and spoil the appearance of the
darn.

Another fringe is made
in similar way, but when
finished is five inches wide, including
the heading.
1t would be pretty for trimming
gowns, scarfs and other articles requir-
Ing heavy but fine silk fringe.
TO make it, cut the strands ten inches
long. Knit IS stitches on to the needle,
ana Knit across plain.
FIRST roW-knit 2. throw thread over
twice, narrow; knit l, throw thread over
twice, narrow; knit /, put two of the cut
strands together evenly and place be-
tween the two needles so that one-half
the length will come each side of the
work; knit l, bring the two strands from
the back to the front of work; knit ,,
place all four threads to the back of
work; knit l; bring the four threads for
ward; knit /.
Second row-Knit Z, throw thread over
twice, understanding the two threads
thrown over in first row as one stitch;
knit l, throw thread over twice and mar
row as before; knit l. Repeat these two
rows. When the knitting is finished,
make the first row of knotting by knot
ting eight threads together.
For the second row, knot four threads
that were knotted in first row with four
threads from the next knot, being care
full to have the new knot come as near
as possible half way between the two
upper knots.
This would make an excellent finish
for the ends of an afghan, if it were
knit with the same needles and of the
same wool as the afghan.

Hall stands Of the multum-in-parvo
pattern are at best but tasteless atroci-
ties. Better buy instead a small table
and separate umbrella stand, and con-
sign the hat and coat rack to some cor
ner where it will not be too conspicu-
ously in evidence.
For sitting rooms the incest kind of
electric-light fittings are those which are
made to represent old-fashioned Candida
bra, and fixed in sconces on the wall.
The most charming old patterns are be-
ing revived to suit all styles of decora-
ton.
Cream cashmere makes the most de-
Hghtful curtains, and washes and wears
well. 1t should be obtained in the new
souple make. which drapes to perfection.
An additional advantage is that there is
no danger of it fading.
AS finishing touch to these cashmere
curtains nothing looks better across the
top than a bCX-pleated frill, made about
a foot deep. if the window is a largo
one, or half that depth if small. The
frill should be lined with sateen or a
soft silk.

n AGS in which to hang ones hat
X while travelling are among the
- seasons new ideas for this
Christmas. They are made of pongee,
with draw strings of brown silk cord
and three small initials in brown silk in
one corner. They will be appreciated by
any woman who travels.
There are all sorts of pretty little
bags for holding ones money worn
about the neck for safety. One of the
most attractive was of white linen
with a bit of embroidery on 1t.
1t was simply a strip of linen nine
and one-half by five inches, hem
stitched on the four sides and sewed
to make an envelope a little larger
than bill.
To this was sewed a piece of heavy
white silk tape twenty-eight inches
long.
Skirt hangers which may be bought
for quarter. are shown wound with
satin ribbon, with a little cluster of
sachet bags hanging from the center
hook. This special kind of skirt
hanger is comparatively new in the
shops. and certainly is a most prac-
teal small remembrance.

TINE so-called ''varnish stains are
difficult to apply and are not dur

water stain, which may be used with
good effect to bring out the natural
grain of the boards. and then fixed by

This gives a dull polish, which may
be kept in good condition by occasional
applications of beeswaX and turpentine,
or of ordinary furniture cream.

Cord and Braid Work

- ERARDINE cord and braid work
differs from others in the man
~ ner of working, and also in the
fact that the braids employed are those
commonly used for dress trimmings.
Ordinarily, the braid is basted TO a
pattern before working. When the
stitches are completed, ii is ripped from
the pattern and transferred.
In this work the design is worked
where it Is to remain. No basting is
required where cord is used, and in
most instances where soutache braid is
employed.
In making most laces threads must be
attached to the braid or rings, but in
Gerardine braidWork such is not neces-
sarily the case, being made on a perma-
nent foundation.
This makes it possible to use stitches,
such as French knots, cross stitch and
many others, to fill spaces that may not
be used in making the ordinary laces.
Another difference is the method of APP
plying it to the background.
Fancy stitches are used to catch
the braid in place. and they often
change the very appearance OF the
braid.
For instance, the same pattern may be
worked on two separate grounds, using
the same kind of braid, and, II different
stitches were used in each instance to
fasten the braid, ii would have the APP
pearance of two different braids.

frayed edges of Hamburg embroidery
and laces, whether valenciennes or tor
chon. the chafnstitch machine does pref
tier work than the lockstitch.
It is necessary, however. to use very
fine thread. No $50 is none too fine, and
No. 200 Is even better for delicate laces,
especially if one seeks to follow the
curves and scrolls of the lace pattern.
A medium stitch is best when darninS
upon the chainstitch machine.

WY HAT could be more practica.
W. or more easily made for
w rush Christmas gift than this
attractive corset cover design
worked out either in lawn or nainsook:
The corset cover of snugly fitting
lines, with not the slightest unneces-
sary fold. gathering or pleat. and which
carries out the tighter bust line, is ;he
one that is NOW insisted upon by mo-
distes.
1t is an absolute necessity for the
newest gowns and waists.
There is always a reason for a radical
ly new departure in underwear. and this
time it is the sheath-like skirts and the
broadening of the shoulder lines which
have brought about the change.
The corset cover is made to drop down
over the shoulder to conform to the
corsage shoulder lines of the new cor
sage.
The design given is for one Of these
new corset covers, without tucks or
trimming other than the valenciennes
lace which may edge the hand-em-
broidered scallops.
The design may be successfully work
ed out in shadow. eyelet or solid en-
broidery. or it may be worked out in
combination of solid and eyelet.
The edges are very neatly buttonholed
in small scallops. and ribbons are run
through the long buttonholed Sits at
yoke, giving perfect fit. besides pretty
touch OF color.
Any information in regard to the
working of the design will be gladly
furnished If letter Of inquiry Is i'd
dressed to this department.

sired, inclose a self-addressed stamped
