ANOTHER BUILDING BURNED.
 Another fire visited this place or Friday night. December (, This time 1t was the large carriage barn and fec house ot Mrs A. E, Banks. which were totally destroyed. beside ton of hay and several other small articles which were in the barn. About 3 o'clock the barn was discovered on fire and the near neighbors were soon on hand but were only able to save the wagons and the sleigh. which were in the burning building. It was just six weeks be- fore her large stock barn was destroyed by fire. There is no doubt that the fire was of incendiafy origin and all the people in this place begin to feel ner' yous for fear their building will be the next one to be burned. It Is time the authorities take active measures tt capture the guilty parties.

Tobacco Pouches Always Acceptable.
Tobacco pouches are always accepta-
bic gifts for men, and stunning ones
may be made from suede. A pretty
pouch in rich brown or dark green,
lined with a maroon silk, would be at
tractiye when the edges are pinked
and a drawsring Of heavy silk with
long tassels runs in near the top. It's
not the kid, the lining or the cord that
makes these bags so unusual, for with
out the monogram OF crest done in gilt
thread or in bright colored silks the
pouches. aside from being handmade,
would be quite the same as those
bought in the shops, but with an at
tractiye emblem or two or three In
itials prettily embroidered In one cor
ner the pouches are presents any man,
no matter how surfeited with gifts,
would be glad TO receive.
Knitted or crocheted ties, though not
a novelty, will be desirable gifts, for
they are serviceable and, being made
by hand, are a valuable accessory to
any wardrobe. In plain green, dark
cardinal or made Of a combination Of
two tone effects or Of two strongly con-
trasting colors, such as black and red
or orange and blue, they are striking
contrasts as neckwear.

croohsted Opera Bag.

Since the fad for knitting and GRO
cheting has taken such a hold on the
feminine contingent the fashion for
knitted and crocheted articles has
gained greatly in popularity. One OF
the prettiest gifts imaginable for the
woman who goes out great deal is
a theater bag Of crocheted silk that is
capacious enough TO hold all of the
small articles that she may need.
Crochet rings very loosely in single
stitches or make squares by crochet
ing solid stitches and connecting them
by chains Of four stitches each until
a long piece has been made. which,
when folded over and the edges Joined,
will form bag. Line this with pretty
silk Of a contrasting color. Cover ten
brass rings with the silk crocheted in
a single stitch, fasten them in a row
an inch below the top and run cord
through these rings to draw the top
together.

There is a popular superstition that

There is hash that self-respecting ami

hash brought to its highest development

only upon its intrinsic ingredients for its
merits, but upon the delicate fancy and
feminine touch of its concoctor.

WHAT THIS WOMAN
CARRIED In HER TRUNK

A New York woman recently won
a suit against transfer company for
the value Of articles contained in a
trunk which was lost in transit from
her summer home to her city residence.
The trunk was large one-of the

affirmed that It contained personal
property to the amount of $780,
The abbreviated list Of articles filled
three inches of small type. Many
items were indefinitely described,

being examples. But it was explicitly
stated that the trunk held, among
many things, seventeen gowns and fl

sweaters, ten lace curtains. five bed
