Sioux Falls, S. D., May 1.-THE re!

been the victim of foul play. Not the
slightest trace of him could be found
and the authorities abandoned the
search.
But the deserted wife, who at first
was firmly of the opinion that the
missing man had been killed, finally
became convinced that he was a villain!
and had voluntarily deserted her. She
then single handed commenced a searchi

Self WORSHIP

It's queer. isn't IT, how each one of
as adores his own personal self much
more than any other person or any other
thing IN the world? We are all or us
self-centered. We see every thing no rei1-
tion 10 ourselves, So much so, indeed
that il is often very hard for us Co put
ourselves in somebody else s place
If some one else says an uuklud word
TO us and also 10 the person with MS.
we have q certain amount or sympathy
for the person who is with us. but nolh-
ing like the sympathy we have for our
selves. Indeed, half the sorroW IN the
world is caused bog excessive sympathy
for ones self whereas. it we had looked
out and seen how many other people
were suffering from much Eecner -or-
rows, We should really have considered
ourselves blessed.
or course. there is really some excuse
for us for do We not see ourselves as
the centeTs of the universe Does not
the sun rise on one side of us and set
on the other side, and when We move do
not the sun. moon and all the planets
move with usT Why. then, should we
not deity ourselves
Self-WOrship is really necessary up %
certain point for without it We should
never get along i'm the world az all But
don't let iI so so far that you become
selfish and incapable of sympathy.

Home Decoration.

The lad for fancy collars and turn
overs has caused a necessity for two
new articles on the dressing table-in
fact three. If strds and collar buttons
are worn-a long. fiat receptacle for
the turnOVers. a box 10 hold collars. and
smaller box TO hold the studs The
dressing table Is most elastic piece
Of furniture. like the bookcase. IL
is always fun ana yet can be made TO
hold little more. Its small drawers
are boon to the woman who lacks
bureau accommoda tions, for, on the
whole, a long, narrow compartment OF
drawer Is a much more satisfactory
place for gloves than a eiovebox. which
takes up zoo much space on top. Just
as wells are much more conveniently and
safely preserved folded up ana laid
away than when left on the bureau
tWlned about a roll. Too many objects
on top OF a bureau or dressing table is
a mistake. both against good taste and
comfort. They are in the way when
dressing, and only too often are not
kept as immaculate as they should be.
on this account CellulOid. china or
IVORY utensils are bette than silver
ones. although the latter are more enec
tive Wneu they are brightly polished.
III silver is used, q piece Of cantor
flannel should be kept near at hand So
that they may be rubbed on every
morning, while once d week they should
be cleaned with silver polish.

STUNNING VELVET COSTUME.
Winter Hats

Small hats are very much in evidence.
and though their shape is. sometimes
rakish, their pose is usually cOnserva-
tive.
Narrow turbaEs, draped beaver. felt.
velvet OF other soft materials are being
worn great deal The trimming is
usually evenly divided between the two
sides Of the hat. Sometimes the left side
is elevated "a little. but there is nothing
radical about Ire elevation.
One type of small hat that is much
liked has round low crown and a mar
row stim brim, which turns up on one
side. These hats are trimmed with
wings. birds or plumes, combined with
ribbon or velvet
Another has a low, curved crown and
narrow urim. which turns up squarely
al It's outer edge. Ii is trimmed with
Paradise plumea, which are being used
more and more as the season advances.
DyeTs are eXGTting themselves. and
feathers are shown IA a greater variety
of cUl0rs than ever before The shaded
ostrich pIumes are very beautiful. and
those in several tints Of gray are among
the most attractive of the winter S
showing.

reason why these exercises make the
