Fads in Millinery.

A woman's fancy" that is what
a milliners success hinges upon
most Millinery is different from
any other business and demands to
be handled in an entirely different
manner than that of other lines.
The very hats we are selling, and
you are wearing this season are the
same styles as those worn many
years ago, but there is more of what
is called art in the hats of today
not seen in those of days gone by.
They are improved in many ways.
They are smarter today than then.
There is freshness and natural
ness and becomingness that did not
exist in the olden period. Lest
you forget, we want to remind you
that Mrs. Osgood's is the place
where you can buy this smart up
to-date millinery for less money
than it is to be had at any other
place. Those who have not bought
this season can save money by 60
ing there. Remember we are End

Our New Dress.

The BLADE comes out today in
an entire new dress of what we be,
lieve to be a type face best adapted
to a general line of readers. 1t is
bold and clean cut making a print
that is easy to read but not course
enough to give the paper an ugly
typographical appearance. This is
the second shipment of new type
placed in this Office this year and
represents an outlay of something
over two hundred dollars. THE
BLADES increasing circulation and
increased job patronage is constant
ly calling for new material, but we
believe we are now fully prepared
to handle any publication or job of
printing that needs to be done in
this county.
THE BLADE begins it's eighteenth
year today under most favorable
circumstances. During the years
that have gone by, there has ever
been a mutual feeling of good will
existing between the paper and the
people of this locality, without
which The BLADE could not have
lived, prospered and kept pace with
the growth and development of the
town. 1t shall be the aim of the
writer to continue these pleasant
laboring at all times for
the best interests of our patrons
and the community in general.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Meredith, of

Mr.. and Mrs. McGrew, at the Fore

j. G. Clemens was here yesterday
from his farm six miles northwest
of Laclede getting a supply of sweet
potato plants. Mr.. Clemens has
seventy acres of corn planted,
finishing last Monday. The first
planting is now coming up and
with good weather he believes he
will have a good stand.
"A. Mcssner, who recently 1ocat-
ed here, buying the Libby harness
shop, is certainly making good in
his line. He is increasing the
stock and displaying it to advan-
tage and most attractively. He is
a fine workman and by his indus
try and push is demonstrating that
he is thoroughly at home in the
harness business.

on Friday. night returned to the

Mrs. O. F. Libby, in this city. It
was thought at first that he was
suffering from malarial fever but
Iater it developed into typhoid,
which generally means long and
tedious confinement. 1t is hoped,
however, by his many friends that

;inue the bright future before him.

Some Evening Reveries.

pleasant, your friends do not treat
you fairly, and things in general
move unpleasantly. Well, what of
it? Keep it to yourself. A smold-
ering fire can be found and exiting
uished, but when Goals are scattered
you can't pick them up. Bury your
sorrow. The place for sad and dis
gusting things is under the ground.
A cut finger is not benefited by pull
ling off the plaster and exposing it
to somebody's eye. Charity COW
ereth a multitude of sins. Things
thus covered are cured without a
scar; but, once published and car
ried to meddling friends, there is no
end to the trouble they may cause.
Keep it to yourself. Troubles are
transient; and, when a sorrow is
healed and passed, what a comfort
it is to say: No one ever new it
till it was over"
Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of
hard work. Work for the best sal
aries and wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than be
idle. Be your own master, and do
not let society or fashion swallow
up your individuality-hat, coat
and boots. Do not eat up or wear
out all that you earn. Compel your
selfish body to spare something for
profits sake. Be stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to.'other's
necessities. Help others, and ask
no help fot yourself. See that you
are proud. Let your pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to
wear a coat you cannot buy; too
proud to be in company that you
cannot keep up with in expenses;
too proud to lie, ,~or-" steal, -or-4eheat,
too proud to be stingy; in short, be
a man of integrity and individual
lty.
Young man you already have
capital. You have hands, feet,
bone, brain, muscle, health, and
are not these capital? What more
capital has God given to anybody?
We'll, if I only had a few thous-
and dollars in cash capital. " But
these are better than cash capital,
for no one can take them from you,
and with these you can earn cash. |
Our men of wealth and influence
lid not start with any cash capital.
They went to work with their plow,
he hoe, the jack plane or broad axe,

ate, and by playing vagabond.
You want to marry rich girl who

Shame on you, young man! Go
0 work with the capital you have,

nough upon it to give you as much
money as you need. If you cannot
