Pattern No. 5643.-This dainty lin
gerie blouse is one of the most at
tractive of the season. The style is
generally becoming, but particularly
so to the slender woman, as the deep
plat at the shoulder gives width to
the figure, and lends additional full
ness in 'front.' The arrangement of
the tucks in vest effect leaves a
space in front, thus affording a fine
bit of handwork, or pretty design
in lace. If the elbow sleeves are de-
sired the pattern provides for full
length sleeves finished by deep cuffs
AS shown in the illustration, white
china silk was used, trimmed with
narrow Valenciennes insertion; but
several materials are adaptable such
as null, dimity, organdy, batiste and
taffeta silk. For sc inches bust meas
ure three and one-fourth yards of 27-
inch material will be required. Sizes
80, "a, Sc, 80, 40 and AZ inches bust
measure
This pattern will be sent to you on
receipt of 10 cents. Address all orders
to the Pattern Department of this paper
Be sure to give size and number of pat
tern wanted. For convenience, write

In the woods for three days, Alex
Brunski turned up at one of the camps
of the Beltrami Cedar and Land Com
pany, about ten miles from here
Brunski, who is homesteader
started to come to Black Duck to pur-
chase supplies. Instead Of travelling
over the old logging road, with which
he was familiar, he attempted to take
a short cut through the forest and be-
came lost When he did not return
home that night his wife became
alarmed, and, informing the neighbors
that her husband was missing. a.
searching party set out to look for him.
They found no trace of him, but last
evening, just as the men in the cedar
camp had finished their supper they
heard a noice outside the cooks shan
ty, and on investigating found Brunski
lying helpless in the snow.

Value Of Rural Telephone.

The telephone is the only protec-
ton good many rural communities
have against fire and crime, and it
has proved a very effective one.
Few towns or villages have adequate
fire fighting apparatus or can afford
an alarm system, and in the old days
when cloud of smoke or a glow of
flames against the sky gave the
first signs of threatened destruction
farmers buildings might be burn
ed to the ground before help enough
to do any good could reach him.
Now if fire starts anywhere along
rural telephone line the nearest
subscriber calls central up and tells
her what has happened. She noti-
fies all the neighbors, those on other
lines as we'll as those nearest to the
scene of trouble. In many towns of
considerable size the telephone has
been organized into regular fire
alarm system, and factory bell or
whistle is used to give the code sig
nails.
A Problem in Life.

woman friend who had died.
How did she die? Do you know?'
he asked.
"She nursed a little niece through
an infectious disease, and then took
it herself and died of it" said she.
"A strange Providence he unused,
sadly. "She, lovely, gracious, charm
ing, everything to live for and a bless
ing to her friends, to die in order that
child might live. A strange and
unaccountable Providence!"-N. Y.

The following cablegram from Ber-
lin is given in full, not only because
1t touches upon an important subject,
but also because it is no more sensa-
tlonal than is warranted by the facts.
1t reads as follows: Great surprises
appear to be in store through develop
ments in the Scandinavian kingdoms,
which hereafter, it is asserted, are to
take an active part in the political
combinations of Europe. Norway's
desire to be recognized as a neutral
nation has clashed with an outburst
of feeling in Sweden against the prob
able wish of some of the great powers
to include the whole Of Scandinavia
in the neutrality scheme. Swedes Of
all parties, remembering their coun-
try's brilliant history, will never, it is
said, accept foreign tutelage in any
form. This attitude has astonishcd
the western powers of Europe, but has
met with much sympathy from Ger
many. Economic considerations have
led to an exchange of ideas between
the two countries and it is presumed
that this may lead to a close political
and commercial understanding be-
tween them. Germany needs the in
valuable wealth of raw materials
possessed by Sweden, and the smaller
country would secure a strong posi-
ton through such an alliance. That
development of this kind may have
the effect at first Of adding to the os-
arrangement of the Scandinavian coun-
tries is conceded, but it is believed
that in the future the sister nation
will see the necessity or following
Sweden, as it is argued that only
through Germany can Scandinavian
unity be realized

better and more expensive dwellings.
A broad front and square rooms,
with wide hall in the center was
generous hearted entertainers of col
onial days. They. could afford to be
prodigal in the expenditure of space
because they had left congestion be-
hind them and the influence of their
new environment had suggested
broadened lines in regard to house
room as well as the affairs of the
state.
Many ideas have since resulted in
the modification of this commendable
style of house building. But down to
the present time we have many ad-
mirers OF the old fashioned square
house with parlor on one side and
o drawing room on the other. These
old houses had broad hall, often ten
or twelve feet wide. in the center of
the house. This great hall sometimes
was furnished with big brick or
stone fireplace in the far end where
cordwood sticks were burned and the
warmth from the fire diffused through
the open stairway to the rooms above.
1t is easy to imagine the cordial
reception the guests received on en-
tering the wide thick-paneled front
door encased in heavy frame of tim
bers. There was a heavy sash with
its several lights of glass on either
side of the door frame sometimes
reaching nearly to the floor and gem
orally there was long transom win
dow above The heavy oaken door
was furnished with a big brass knock
er and an immense lock with a key
nearly d foot long. but the big heavy
doors opened easily and quickly in re-

knocker because even strangers were
welcome and friends were received
with genuine cordially If not af-
lection.
Some of these old colonial houses

time. But we have moved the hall a
little to one side to make room for
a longer sitting room in proportion to
the size of the house. We have done
away with the old fashioned drawing
room and substituted a parlor and
sitting room combined that offers a
great deal more comfort because IL
tends to increase sociability and So
ciabilty is the keynote of entertain
ing.
We still have the wide hall with a
fireplace in the far end but we haven't
the cordwood to burn so we have re-
duced the size Of the fireplace to fit
the fuel that we are obliged to use.
Then instead of building the servants
quarters outside in a separate build
ing we have combined the back porch
with a pleasant room that answers
the same purpose.
We have improved on the old time
dining room, pantry and kitchen be.
cause we have discovered that it
takes great many steps to travel q
distance of twenty or thirty feet be-
tween the dining table and the kitchen
range. We have cut down the num-
Der of these steps as much as posi-
BILE and we have arranged the pantry
with shelves for the dishes midway
between the dining room and kitchen
and we have pot cupboard for the
storage of necessary kitchen utensils
as close and convenient as possible
to the range.
During the interval between the old
colonial days and the present time
we have added hot water heater to
our kitchen range AMI connected it
with a water pressure supply that
carries hot water to the bath room
as well as to the kitchen sink.
Our modern bath rooms effect a
great saving in perfumery bills. When
hot water was scarce and bath rooms
were the exception rather than the
rule the scent bottles and sachot bags
were necessary accompaniment OF
the toilet. Our hardheaded, practical,
inventive geniuses and mechanics
probably had no intention of putting
the scent makers out of business but
they are responsible for the change
whether they intended to or not.

that time by emigrants from England
and other countries and the best ideas
Of building known at the time were
incorporated in these houses. There
is abundant evidence of the influence
exerted on the minds of builders in
those days by the free expanse of
new territory. Some OF these old

placed with sharp ones. The shoe is
held in place by clamps made OF
rolled steel that is so pliable it may
be doubled without breaking. The
band, or clamp. touches the shoe at
each heel and at the toe. but does not
cross the back of the hoof, thus af.
fording the natural expansion of the
frog when the weight of the animal is
thrown upon it. There are four short
brads coming up from the sole of the
shoe which extend into the shell of the
hoof quarter OF an inch. They are
merely to stay the shoe. The shoe is
fastened on with the aid OF small
wrench
This shoe may be taken OF or re
placed at Will. Every part of the
years. All that is necessary is to
have on hand a few extra calks, which
any farmer or horseman may re-
place.
