Strange STORY Of a Dream.

A correspondent sends the following
anecdote, or as he calls 1t, "case of
thought transference," which was told
him by an eminent engineer, whose
name we withhold: This well known
engineer had been to Bulawayo on the
occasion Of the opening Of the railway
to that place. A friend who accompa-
MED him on the occasion contracted
enterlc fever and died on the home
ward voyage. Half an hour before he
died his hair turned perfectly white.
On arriving In England the engineer
went to break the news to the young
mans sister. He found that not only
did the lady know of the death of her
brother, but she knew the time and
the circumstance of the hair turning
white. The engineer was requested to
break the news to the father and moth
er as gently as possible, but to say
nothing Of the hair turning white. Aft
er n journey Of 100 miles he found that
both father and mother, whom he saw
separately, not only knew of the death
of their son, but knew of his hair turn
Ing white at the time of his death.
Each had had dream, a vivid dream,
at the moment of the death taking
place, and each had kept his and her
own counsel, and they had not spoken
to each other of the dream-London

tassels, ornaments, and much silk and
bead fringe. A new idea which Is
very pretty, is to trim the inside of
the wrap.
Hats are seen in every imaginable
shape and size. but there are two that
seem to be the standbys; the modi-
fled mushroom and the cavalier
shapes. The mushroom or cloche, is
a particular favorite, and 1t is used
for dressy hats as well as for every
day wear. The cavalier shapes are
revived for those who do not care
for the new styles. 1t is cut down for
street wear and is trimmed with wired
taffeta loops, usually in front and
folded band around the crown.
The most noticeable feature about
all fur pieces is that they are primmed
with the heads and tails of the ami
NAL. There are also many pendant
ornaments. novelty braids and EN-
broidered bands that are used. The
newest neck piece has two heads in
theback and the tails finish the stole
in the front. Mink and black lynx
will be the most popular furs, but
squirrel. and martin will continue to
be worn by many. Silver gray and
white fox are very modsh. Ermine
will be worn with evening garments,
only. 1t is very evident that Russian
sable will be the most desirable fur
for all who can reach the price.
Chinchilla bids fair to be popular
through the coming season, but the
price is too high for 1t to be COM
mon. 1t is liked because of the mon
otone effect and pronounced vogue
of grays. When used with violet vel
vet and heavily embroidered in shades
of violet the effect is charming.
Thin frocks are made of such dainty |
materials. One especially pretty |
thing was of purple silk muslin en-
broidered in gold and mauve. This
was in the pinafore fashion and with |

ALASKA GOVERNOR FIGHTS FOR HIS JOB

Seattle, Oct 26.-The hottest po-
lltical fight in the history of Alaska
Will begin when the republican con-
vention for the District of Alaska is
called to order in juneau, the capital,
the second week in November. Gov
ernor Wilfred b. Hoggatt has the
hardest fight Of his life on his hands
and If he comes out of the convention
retaining his office 1t will be because
he has outgeneraled his opponents,
for they have framed up a strong
combination.
Territorial government is the point
on which the big fight is to be made.
Governor Hoggatt is opposed to kome
rule on the grounds that Alaska is too
thinly populated for territorial form
of government and that the taxation
under such a system would be a bur-
den borne by few. He declares that
the taxation to the business interests
with county and state officials to
support, would be a burden entirely
out of proportion to the population
of the territory.
For his stand on this question, the
majority of the delegates to the con-
ventlon have been instructed to de-
mand of President Roosevelt the i'm
mediate removal of Hoggatt, charg-
ing that he is the tool of the trusts
fighting for control of Alaska under
its present form of government. The
Seward Peninsula delegation is solid
for territorial form of government, |
and for the removal of Governor |
Hoggatt; As of the so votes from |
Nome are for territorial form of gov
ernment and the removal of the ter
ritory's present executive; the Skag-
way delegation has been instructed
to take the same action as the .Scme
and Seward Peninsula delegations.
The present returns show that
will go into the convention
with the delegations from his own di
vision divided on both questions. Just
how many votes he will be able to
obtain from the other sections of
Alaska remains to be seen, but 1t is
certain he will be unable to prevent
he passage of the resolution asking
or his removal unless he is able to
'btain aid from Wickershams dele
rates.
The Seward delegation will go to
he convention instructed to vote for
Thomas Gale for district representa-
i've in congress. In case il is found

which is braided and the whole Is
made up over a teffeta lining of a
lighter tint than the garment or a
contrasting color. There are a few
jaunty separate coats that are mad }
of cloth or taffeta in bright current
red, bronze green, mahogany and
bishops purple. However. the most
OF the coats are made Of the same
material as the skirt for the tailor
made suits seem to be the fashion Of
! the year.
/ The very latest to be worn with the
! lace gowns are snuff and scarf sets
made entirely of real lace. One has
been seen of elaborate Spanish laces
and five different laces besides There
were delicate touches Of color in the
form of embroidery added as a pref
ty finish.
A little novelty in jewelry to keep
the tops of the long gloves in place
is a flexible bracelet in the shape Of
a serpent, which encircles the arm
several times. The head is set with
jewels. ,
Evening dress materials in combi-
nation with velvet is much evidenced
in all the late fashions. The effect
is smart when the plain chiffons or
chiffon cloths are made up with
chiffon velvet in bands and panels.
Black chiffon with raised velvet
flowers in self-tones is especially ef-
fective. A really beautiful dress for
evening is of black Brussels lave net
braided with satin soutache.
Separate waists of embroidered net
and all-over lace are more attractive
than ever before. Some of the
blouses are loose fitting, but the lin
ing is fitted and boned carefully so
the effect is usually pretty. Tucks,
ruches and satin applications are the
favorite trimmings. The sleeves are |
of the puff style, the stock. collars are |
high and the girdles are narrow and |
skillfully draped.

Care of Poultry.

The hens do not suffer so much for
green food when the weather is nice
and there Is no snow on the ground
They eat the grass and seem to relish
It though it IS dead and brown. AT
this season we give the specked ap-
pies at sorting time to the hens.
We find that Il place for hens to
scratch pays for itself in one winter
in the fowls health and in eggs. 1t
won't do to allow the hens to huddle
In one corner half dead If it's healthy
fowls and eggs we're after. The litter
that accumulates where the hay Is
thrown on the barn floor makes the
best kind of scratching material. The
hons search out the fine seeds and cit
every clover leaf.
We are learning the value Of bran
as n hen food. In their soft food for
breakfast we use bran as basis. 1t
gives bulk. 1t Is one of the desirable
feeds that are not too expensive with
eggs ut present prices. An experienced

FEEDING SWINE.
Clean EeOd Required to Produce
Good Meat.


Good Meat.
The main expense in raising swine is
their feed, and it is the duty Of the
feeder to get the most out of it that he
mistake in throwing feed to their hogs
and letting them take care of it. When
hogs are fed in this way they do not
receive the full benefit of the feed, for
portion of it is wasted We must re-
member that one days poor feeding
will more than counterbalance two
days of good feeding
Regularity in feeding swine IS of very
great Importance, though some are
slow in realizing this fact The digcs-
tive systems of animals adapt them
selves to receive food at certain times,
and II the food Is not given at the eX.
pected time the animal Is worried
thereby. This results in loss of one
kind or another Frequently the food,
being late, is taken in too large quaint
ties or too hurredly for the best good
Of the animal. For this reason it Is to
our advantage, as well as the hogs, to
make it rule to feed him at exactly
the same time each day
We must be careful what we feed
Any old thing that no other animal will
look at Is not good enough for hog
feed. We cannot expect good meat I'M
less clean food is used Some farmers,
no doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed. They will start the hogs eXclu.
sively on corn at the commencement of
the fattening period, using no care not
TO give them too much of it, and finally
the result Is that the appetite and di'
gestion Of the hogs are injured, and
they are given backset that they will
not readily overcome. Corn should be
fed In small quantities at first, gradu-
ally increasing the amount as the hogs
stomachs become stronger until they
are on full feed, says writer in Farm
Press. Better results are produced by
Feeding corn in relatively small quant-
ties IN conjunction with mill foods,
alfalfa and clover hay and such foods
as turnips, artichokes, etc.
