short, thick waist. However, it is
not a fashion that is generally at
tempted, excepting by a dressmaker
who so thoroughly understands her
business that she studies lines, and
she will cut the wrap in such wise
that by adding an inch or two in the
front or back the desired line is given,
and, presto! the wearer of the gown
looks as delightfully."- slender as she
could possibly desire.
TasselS and buttons play an impor-
tant part in this seasons clothes. The
buttons are most decorative, often
really artistic, while the tassels give
charming finish. Lace ruffles, ia
bots and ties, with ruchings of lace
so arranged as to soften hard edges
and yet for the lace itself not to
show, seem to be the part of the ele-
gancies of modern dress that sug-
gest extravaganza without too bold
ly asserting it. Buttons, buckles, lace
ETC., add materially to the cost of the
gown, also, which apparently is one Of
the desired points of modern dress;
tassels and braiding are not so cost
ly, although the silver tassels are by
no means cheap.
Shall skirts be plain or trimmed is
question that is still being most vio-
lently discussed, and a lot of argu-
ment is being wasted on the topic, for
in these days no woman feels she is
called upon to slavishly obey any Of
fashions mandates, but can choose
what best suits her own especial style
of beauty The long plain skirts are
most delightfully."- graceful, outline a
good figure to perfection, and yet are
cut so wide that the flare below the
hips takes away any idea of the old
fashioned tight fitting skirt. With one
of these perfectly hung and fitted
skirts made of some handsome mate
rial, nothing is required to add to its
beauty, and yet the wide band of some
contrasting material or embroidery is
effective and very charming.
In making walking-skirt which is
to be short, everything should be re-
membered and adopted that will give
an appearance of length. Circular
trimmings, therefore, ought to be
avoided. a, plated skirt, with the
plaits running downwards and stitch
ed down firmly to about eight inches
from the ground, is a very good style.
Another desirable form of walking.
skirt has stitched strappings covering
the seams and extra plaits let in the
lower part of each gore; this skirt is
best made unlined. For very tall
woman double skirt is not unfavor.
able if made with deep point front
and back cut up only at the sides.
For more "dressy" gowns trains are
indispensable. The corselet on the
princess cut is most graceful, and this
also is seen made with a simulated
underskirt, the top part deeply point
ed front and back as just described.

So often the spring season is SO
short that it seems as if the heat Of
summer followed Immediately after
the intense cold of midwinter, and
then a cloth costume seems to be
quite necessary, as there is really so
little time to wear it, but the well
dressed woman takes no chances on
exceptional seasons and provides her
self with a smart cloth costume of
light weight, knowing that there will
be plenty of days during the summer
when such costume will prove ex-
actly the correct thing to wear.
Shaggy rough materials and dark
colors do not come under this head,

The State Fair.

St Paul-1mpOrtant action or mucn
interest to the farmers of Minnesota
was taken by the Minnesota State Fair
management recently, when it was de-
cided to materially increase the
amount of premium money offered to
county exhibits and to individual ex-
hibits of farm products.
The total of $4,000 heretofore offered
for county exhibits has been increased
to $4,000, and the state has been di-
vided into two divisions so that here
after the newer northern counties will
not have to compete with the old
southern communities. The counties
of Chisago, Anoka, Wright, Meeker.
Kandiyohi, Chippewa, and Lac qut
Parle, and the counties north of them.
Will constitute the Northern Division,
and the counties south of this row,
excepting Hennepin and R1msey,
which are barred from competition
will be the Southern Division.
Further, the money will be divided
after a new plan. The sum of $3.50
is set aside for each division, and this
will be divided into five premiums:
$500 for first; 1925, second; $3.50, third;
S225. fourth. and 5000. fifth. Two more
premiums of $50 each VIII go to the
most beautiful display and the best
arranged exhibit: the entire ten ex-
hibits being considered in this compe-
tition.
A somewhat similar plan has been
adopted in the distribution of premium
money for several sweepstakes and COL
lections classes in the farm and grain
divisions of the permium list. In the
collection of threshed grains" the
best exhibit of small grains the
collection of corn husked and in
stalk" and the farm exhibits" instead
OF offering $500 to be divided pro rata,
each exhibitor whose display scores
10 points or more will receive $40.
while the four highest will receive s..
Sc, 81 and 81, respectively.
The object of this change is to en-
courage numerous exhibits. Under
the pro rata division of 500 it has
been found that when many exhibitors
are present the amount received by
each is so small as to discourage fur
Their exhibition. Under the new plan
each exhibitor who makes a really
good exhibit will receive SO, while the
best four will be given additional
money as we'll as the ribbons.
In corn the premiums have been
nearly doubled. Instead Of first, sec
ond and third Of SO, 81 and 81, there
are four premiums for each lots,
So. 81 and 81. Other minor changes
throughout the division or agriculture
have been made with a view to better
ment.
These changes are due to the recon-
mendations and arguments brought
forward by J. NJ. Underwood, of Lake
City, superintendent of the division.
who is earnestly DESTROYS of improv-
ing the farm displays at the state fair
Mr.. Underwood desires to make still
more radical improvements as soon as
suitable space is secured for agricul-
tural displays.

Missed Shot is Fatal.

Virginia. missed shot was respon-
sible for the death of John Kaslika
and the injury of Werner Saraner, en-
ployed in the Larkin mine near here.
The men were about to leave the
pit for the day and had lighted fuses
in three holes. Two of the charges
exploded and the men rushed back to
see what was wrong with the third.
They reached the spot just as the
dynamite exploded. Koslika's body
was blown to pieces, Saraner had an
open knife in his hand and the force
of the explosion drove the blade into
his side. He was seriously hurt, but
will recover.

GOSSIP

A diminutive chap appeared at Du-j
quesne garden, Pittsburg, recently
and asked for Manager McSwigan. AS,
the latter was busy he could not bel
seen, so Business Manager Danaheyl
asked the visitor what he could do
for him. The little fellow stated that
he would like to go upon the ice and
do some skating. "The doors are not
open until 1870 O'clock" replied
Frank. "Do you want position as
skate boy or Instructors" The midget
stated that he wanted neither, but de-
sired chance to try out the ice as he
was going to skate in the races Fri
day and Saturday. ooh, you want to
enter the races do you? Well, go see
Billie Bratton and he will tell you If
he can receive any more entries. You
know that the entries closed Satur-
day." Fred Logan, for it was no other
than the great speed skater, made no
answer, but followed Danahey until
they found Bratton. Billy, like Frank,
had never met the little st. Johns
wonder, so he was at a loss as to
what to say. Logan saw the predica-
ment that the two were in and told
them who he was. Both almost faint
ed. why, you don't mean to tell me
you are the skater that defeated
Wood at Saranac lake recently in
three out of four races, do you?"
gasped Bratton. 81 am the Logan that
did it," was the reply. swell, I don't
see where you get your speed" stated
Bratton, "for you do not look big
enough to even carry pair of skates,
let alone skate with them on your
feet" But Logan only smiled at the
remark. The skater is not over five
feet tall and does not appear to
weigh more than 100 pounds, but
from his actions on the ice one can
see how easily a person may be
fooled. Logan took an hours spin on
the ice, and the way he sailed around
the rink made them all sit up and
take notice. He is certainly what is
claimed for him, marvel at speed
skating.
Speaking of ninth inning rallies,
they are telling story now on the
wit of RUDE Waddell that saved the
Athletics from beating in New York
one day last season. Bender was in
the box. 1t had been raining part of
the day and the ball was slippery. The
Indian had been weakening and when
that ninth came along they began
clouting him. Connie Mack had sent
Waddell out to warm up. There were
men on third and second, with two
strikes and three balls on the batter
and two men down. A tally was need.

Don't Ask for Money,

st. Paul.Thirty- five counties in the
state have not yet secured their share
of the money apportioned by the state
highway commission for good roads
The law provides that the county COM
missioners of each county shall desig-
nate a state road upon which the
money is to be expended and they can
not secure the money until this Is
done. The thirty-five counties that
have not yet reported are in the
southern part of the state where the
roads are better than those in the
northern part.
George W. Cooley of the state high
way commission is compiling figures
for the public road office at Washing
ton showing the amount of money ex-
pended each year for roads in the
state. He has been two years getting
together his statistics and has COM
pleted the compilation for 1904. In that
year 1881, 1924 was spent for roads
in Minnesota. Mr.. Cooley estimates
that the expenditure for this purpose
in 1906 was s2,5O0,000.

Farmers Dig for Gold.

Winona--Gold has been discovered
In this county, within a few miles of

the Gainey farm, and it is said that
there is a tract of fifteen acres in
which pay dirt 10 plentiful.
The farm belongs to the family of
Deputy Boiler Inspector Carney. The
first ore was discovered some time ago,
and, while the family was convinced
that there was gold present in con-
siderable quantities. before announce
ment of the find was made samples
OF the ore were sent away for assay.
The result. which has just been re-
ceived. shows that the metal runs
in good pay quantities.
The first investigation indicated
that a tract of about seven acres con-
tanned the pay dirt, but with further
prospecting it developed that there is
good ore to be found in fifteen acres.
Those interested are prepared to carry
on development work on a large scale
and will soon have arrangements to
that end completed.
The gold fever has caught practical
