ProNoeation Enough.

A deaf old gentleman dined with
family where grace was always said,
When the guests were seated the host
bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse in a subdued,
reverent tone.
''Eh? What's thatY demanded the
deaf old gentleman, who sat beside
him.
The host smiled patiently and began
again in a louder, more deprecatory
voice
speak a little louder don't catch
what you say" the old gentleman per
sisted
A low ripple of laughter went around
the table. The host, his face crimson
with embarrassment, raised his voice
and repeated the verse. The deaf gen.
tleman did his best to hear, but failed.
He placed one hand upon his hosts
arm
'What did YOU sayY' he demanded
lrasclbly,
"Blast It. I'm saying grace" he
snapped. -Llppncotts Magazine.

Great Peach Crop From Arkansas.

Arkansas will surprise the world this
year with her peach crop. The peach
yield all over the country has prac-
tically been a failure this season, and,
with the exception of California, Ar
kansas will supply nearly half of the
markets Of the United States with this
particular fruit of which the Ameri-
can people are so fond. says the Fort
Smith Interview. The Alberta IS the
peach on which Arkansas depends for
this years output Arkansas. by the
way, has the largest peach orchard IN
the United States. if not in the world
1t covers an area of more than 3,c0
acres and is located about 100 miles
south of Fort Smith. This orchad
will produce enough peaches this year
to yield to its owner a small fortune.

POLKA DOTS TO RIVAL CHECKS.
One Of the Characteristic Decorations
OF the Summer.

Polka dots are rivaling stripes and
cnecks as the characteristic decora.
ton OF the summer They are to be
seen on every sort OF material and on
all sorts of accessories to the toilet.
There are among the new materials a
great variety OF polka dot chiffon IN
all the colors, the design being formed
Of all sizes of polka dot. Some Of the
chiffons are white with colored polka
dots and some are In the pale tlnts
with darker polka dots. There are al.
so many patterns showing dark
grounds with lighter dots, and moth
ing is more fashionable than tho
black grounds with white polka dots,
unless II be the white grounds with
black polka dots. In fact. in the polka
dot effects, as In the checks and
stripes, the black and white comblna.
ton seems to be the most satisfactory.
Most Of the chiffons which have a col

chiffon, which Is used for this pur-
