Accessories of the
Spring Tailor Suits

The early spring tailor suits show
the round and very simple skirt,
usually trimmed with bands or tucks
stitched many times above and below.
A strictly new tailored model which
had it's origin right here in the work
room of a Fifth avenue establishment,
and which bids fair to be generally
liked, has an extremely wide front
breadth, with the sides tucked wide at
their starting point and narrowing to
points some six inches below; and an
other model from the same place
shows these tucks just reversed, being
narrow at the waist line and increas-
ing in width, so that where they are
terminated half yard down the skirt
they are nearly two inches broad.
With these original skirts short
sacque coats are worn, each having
the same stitched tucks as adorn the
skirt. There is another jacket model
which shows a fitted back with loose
fronts. 1t reaches five inches below
the waist line, and is often trimmed to
simulate a peplum, the trimming ma
terial forming the collar and cuffs.
For walking costumes of the semi
tailoring order, there is new gar
ment of the redingote type which
reaches the three-quarter length and
has an odd little cape topping it. This
begins in a point at the back waist
line, is slashed at either side of the
shoulder forming a sleeve cap, and
andc In fichu-fa shiOn inst below the
bust. The cape like the redingote is
trimmed to match the skirt, as it is
invariably part of the suit and not
intended in any way as a separate
wrap. This model is seen in silk, in
grass linen, and in the looser mesh
goods as voile, in which case the red
ingote with its cape is lined with silk
and makes a handsome visiting cos

WOLF CUB AS PLAYMATE.
Chicago Boy Has HaIf-Grown Animal
for a Pet

Chicago.-Russell Dyer, of Hyde
Park, Chicago, has an odd pet in
Force, the half-grown wolf cub, who
plays with him like a puppy. Force
came from the woods near Davis, Ind,
where the boys father, DR.. A. e. Dyer,
annually shoots over the grounds of
the Macsorber Hunting club The
club dogs seven weeks ago pursued
the small fugitive into the club hog
pen. and there made him a captive.
The cub was old enough to run"
alone, but not old enough to have re-
placed his baby teeth by the long,
sharp fangs that now would render his
capture more difficult. Force bitterly
resented Imprisonment at first And,
though he spends most of his time
peaceably in or near his kennel, he is
quite sufficiently frisky to render his
young masters daily task of giving
him exercise no sinecure, while the
neighborhood dogs have learned to
keep we'll beyond the length of his
chain.

II remains to be seen whether Force
will be a good playfellow when he is
grown. Naturalists say that the wolf
is as hard to tame as the tiger His
instinct inclines him to treachery. He
rarely feels or displays affection. and
has no sense of humor like the dog.

through the arrival of Henry Routier,
a trader, who had the misfortune to
get mixed up with the bees.
Mercer had quite a stock of valuable
furs on hand when he received by
courier the news of his sisters death,
and what to do with them he didn't
know. His presence in Ignace was
needed Immediately, else it would
have been an easy matter for him to

Mercer has sweet tooth. and,
sweets being scarce in the woods, the
trapper hit upon the idea some years
ago of raising bees to satisfy his long
ing. He therefore imported several
colonies, which he kept in hives near
his shanty. They and their progeny
became used to him, but on several
occasions were known to attack Wis
iting trappers. They even set upon
the courier, and it was this incident
which resulted in Mercer placing then
on guard over his valnables.
Lugging the hives into the shanty
he bored a hole in the door, so tina
they could come and go at will, ant
then left, feeling reasonably sure tina
no one would make off with his furs
He was SO certain, in fact, that h
would find everything right upon hi
return that he didn't even worry.
1t so happened that Routier had al
order for the pelt of fisher, and
hearing that Mercer had one, he wen
considerably off his route to make tn

sister had kicked him from the lad
der into the water.
Some naturalists then suggested
that, as mules eat corn, perhaps Maud
and her sister had kicked the firemen
from the ladder because they were
hungry.
Another fireman borrowed a hand
full of corn. With this he descended
the ladder. He bribed the mules with
the corn and while he was in the chs
tern tying the rope around them they
made their heels behave and he es-
capped unhurt
Then, with the cooperation of the
horses, hose wagon and the pulley the
mules were taken from the cistern.

Dana lives in mortal terror of the

them, for fear they win explode while
being assassinated. And IL he lets

one OF them will commit suicide By
falling from the haymow and distribute
his barn, farm implements and live
stock over the surrounding country.
Dana stored a box of dynamite In
his barn for the winter. few days
ago he discovered that rats had eaten
every bit of it, He said that since the
dynamite disappeared he has seen
more rats and larger ones than eve,
before in his life.

at his command. Hypodermics were
administered, the man was pinched,
slapped and cuffed, and finally strons
ammonia was placed under his nos
trils.
The fumes had no effect other than
to make the sleeper cough, and in
desperation the doctor tried tickling.
Bearing Biankburn's feet, he took .
hen-feather and applied 1t gently.
The man half opened an eye and
rolled over. This satisfied the physi.
clan that he could be awakened by
the same means that put him to sleep
and he left the loggers to complete
the job.
Little by little the tickling took et

days Blankburn was able to sit up
and eat hearty meal. He appears

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and
this tube restored to- its normal cond1-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
WI will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hail.
