ages from mere infancy to young man.
hood and womanhood. Our community
has never been visited by death sur
rounded by more sadness. Mrs. HeAm
was one Of the best ladies in western
Barber, always cheerful and willing to do
more than her part, her face ever to the
future and with many years, apparently,
before her, she was stricken down be-
fore her friends could realize that she
was even indisposed. The funeral was
held at Lake City on Saturday and many
sympathizing friends gathered to see for
the last time this good wife and mother.
We are utterly unable to express the
sympathy that is felt in this hour for the
husband and children who have been so
suddenly bereft.

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
llIiteracy Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 100000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about IS per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. Of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 621s per cent. are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain It is impossible to get serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a. bum
die of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are (or which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient Of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not

Public Interest In Game.

Any one who doubts that game pro.
lection is a live subject can quickly
dispel the doubts by subscribing to a
press clipping service and reading the
excerpts from legislative reports that

The Cutters Book. There is now
scarcely state in the union which is
not awake to the necessity of preserv-
ing game to the extent that is posi-
BILE, and in every state where it is
a subject of legislative action the
widest and deepest interest is man
ifested in the doings of the solons,
not only on the part of very large
proportion of the male population, but
on the part of very considerable mum
bers of the fair sex as well, and in
not a few of the states there have
been fights this winter over various
phases of the subject as fierce and
bitter as are ever waged over any pub
lie question. Most of the legislatures
that have been sitting are through
with their labors, and those still sit.

The day Of the supremacy Of the
linen costume for hackabout wear is
over. The trouble with linen is that it
muses. readily. A mussed linen is a
deplorable sight, and one can't ride in
railway trains without leaving traces
of it on linen. Rajah and worsteds
do not muss readily and are quite as
cool and more pliable.
AS for the lightweight cloths, those
that do not wrinkle easily are ideal.
For years they were too heavy and
warm to make comfortable travelling
costumes and those for wear around
town on warm days. Now, however,
that the art of making them in service
able yet smart colors, and also of
lining them with silks so thin as to
add hardly anything to their SUBJ
stance, the former objections are done
away with. Then, too, while starch
added to the heat of linen, there is
none of that in wool and worsted, and
they clean better and are suitable for
a greater number of emergency cases
in the gown line than are the Rajahs.
Not few so-called Jumper" or pin
afore dresses are seen on the younger
matrons and girls. The jumper frocks
are extremely pretty, and made by

from the ordinary jumper dress one
sees by the dozen that the wearers of
the former need not mind the similar
ity of idea. Besides, all sorts Of coats
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-08-09

There is tendency to wear the hats
farther back than ever from the fore
head, and added to this in many in
stances there is the appearance of the
hats being two sizes too large and
so far as the brim is concerned
abnormally large at the back.
But the eyes grow accustomed to
these cloche and mushroom hats of
peculiar outline. However, just at
first they strike everyone in the same
way-they appear to be falling off the
head! Even the very small mushroom
shapes, which promise to be so popu-
lar for country and seaside wear, are
thrown back on the head, and when
these are lined with dark taffetas, as
is so often the case with the straw
hats of this season, they form most
becoming aureola for the face!
The circular veil is a Paris inno-
walton. At first sight this arrange
ment Of net ard lace suggests dainty

large cloche hat it gires the most pic

cover a small parasolA It is edged

There was only q moment left to
Grayland. He spoke quickly:
you will let me be your friend,
still; and when all is once more well,
you will let me-hope?"
She hesitated, turned and looked at
him an instant; and he was content
when he heard simple yes"
She crossed the room then to meet
her brother, who came in with drag
ging step and the worn face which
marked long days of battle and short
nights Of fitful sleep.
Grayland heard a smothered sob as
Corson clasped his sister close. He
rose to leave them alone; but Corson
noted the movement and turned.
You here?" he observed. Stay
moment. Helen, listen. l have al
ready expressed to you, Helen, my
belief that this man is not worthy of
you; that you should never give your
self to a man that would lend his
soul at interest"
His sister had drawn away to the
full height of that dignity with which
she met difficulties.
"Corson went on: "Grayland ad-
vised against loan to help us out;
but despite that Garrett came to our
rescue. The magic of his name and
millions quieted the mob of creditors
and restored confidence. Now there
are a dozen willing to help us. We
are saved, more than saved, so far as
money is concerned"
She received the glad news with a
soft cry of relief.
when Marsden carried to Garrett
the decision of his representative the
old gentleman said simply: That Is
final: am sorry but when he learn
ed that John Grayland had offered, un-
conditionally, every dollar he had In
the world to meet the difficulty, Gar
rett claimed a prior privilege. That
turned the tide; the world had never
known the old gentleman to make a
mistake. Grayland's money would
have been lost. 1t was not nearly
enough"
Grayland was standing with his
back turned, looking out of the win
dow and wondering whether the bust
ness world would count him fool.
,"Grayland," the young fellow was
saying; there are some things that
make spoken thanks sound cheap;
but most humbly do l ask your for
giveness and the privilege of sharing
my sisters friendship"
Grayland's only answer was press
ure of the hand held out When her
brother left them Helen came to him.
She asked no questions, made no COM
ment. 1t was enough that happiness
had come through him, enough that,
reading her own heart again, she now
believed that her future happiness
would come through him alone.

Queer Idea Of Endowment.

DR.. Juliet Severance writes in the
Vegetarian Magazine:
Il am often reminded of clinic
case brought before the class when I
was in medical college in 1853. The
man had govt and rheumatism, both
the small and large joints being i'm
movable, and his suffering was severe.
DR.. r. T. Trail, professor Of theory and
practice, was explaining to us the i'm
portance of a very strict and abstemi-
GUS diet. The poor fellow tried vainly
to turn his head, and grunted out: I
can't go that; want to enjoy life

book they are boons indeed.
A special point about the SUMMER
gowns of to-day is the outline of the
waistband. The short-waisted effect
is still very popular, but we now rarely
see waistband with decided point
in front; the correct line is that which
circles the waist with the slightest
possible droop in front, but nothing
approaching point.
1t is, perhaps, difficult for women
to avoid exaggeration, but I cannot
help regretting that the point in front
is beginning to be considered "incor.
rect" The most becoming belt a
woman can wear is very narrow one
which droops distinctly in front, and
which is held in place by buckle at
the back. This belt makes the waist
look round and slender. Of course the
pointed belt has been done to death
