who cannot afford this expense will
find at the lining counter many cotton
goods with silk luster to them that
really answer every purpose.
A good quality of silk null will make
a suitable lining for a chiffon waist,
but care must be taken to secure a
firm piece and not to have the lining
fit very snug.
In selecting material for your gowns
be sure that it is soft and pliable.
Avoid, as you would the plague, wiry

FACTORS IN TOWN PROGRESS.
Some Comment Atfordlns Thoughtful
Folk Food for Reflection.

1t is the duty of every merchant to
give support to his home paper.
When he pays the editor dollars for
judicious advertising he is helping him
self, helps the editor get out a better
paper, and helps the community in
general.
Public schools are one of the great
props of national government. The
more prosperous is a community the
higher will be the educational facili-
ties. Good schools are ashelp to any
town and bring into it the most de
sirable classes, who seek to educate
their children. He who assists IL
building up the business of a town
also assists in lettering the schools.
Commercial clubs have been potent
factors in the advancement of many
towns. To the farmer the commercial
clubs are as important as to the mar
of business. There is nc reason why
the farmers of the community should
not cooperate with the business men
in every undertaking that has for its
object the benefit of the home town.
y i
The young man starting in life
should have a certain object in view.
The seeking of a vocation is an impor-
tant thing. Too many seek lines OF
work that they are not naturally quail
fed for. The greatest success is made
by the men who follow that business
or profession for which they have
natural inclination and talent.
Thousands of people r still on
earth who can remember the dismal
failure of the Ruskin cooperative col
ony in the south, the falling to pieces
of the Belamy community in Califor'
MIA, the disintegration of the "Agricul
tural Wheel" and the hundreds Of
thousands of dollars lost a day-dream
err in Missouri and Kansas in efforts
to. demonstrate the practical work o.
theoretical cooperation. Still people
will bite at bats thrown out by the
alleged cooperative commercial con
Germs, who have headquarters in larg'
cities and do business through thu
mails.

It is the abuse of the credit system
that frequently causes trade to drift
from the home town to some distant
concern. Merchants extend credits to
their customers, and when the bill
reaches a large figure, the customer
avoids the store Of his benefactor, and
when goods are needed sends the cash
to some distant place. This is unfair,
yet it ID too often the case.

derfully.
Mr.. Parker when appealed to as to
the possibility of successful historical
pageants in America replied:
my knowledge of American his
tory is limited, but | should say that
towns in America with histories suit
ed to reproduction in the form Of
pageants are rare. But there are a
few of them that would lend them
selves to such a purpose admirably.
Plymouth, Mass, for intsance, would
be an ideal place for such a show. l
could imagine none better in America
According to my ideas. speaking Off
hand, an historic pageant there should
be worked out something like this:
The first tableau should depict a
scene in the English town from
whence 1t takes its name. Successive
tableaux should represent the landing
of the Pilgrim fathers, the early trials
or the settlers and their struggles
with the Indians, the split with the
mother land, and so on through the
Independent history of the country.
Salem, Mass. is another town that
affords abundant material for en- his
toric pageant, the witch incident, es-
pecially, being well adapted TO dra-
matte representation. Boston is an
other city that has the necessary his
tory but fine city though 1t is, from
what have seen of It should say its
pageants. The same is true of New
York. Its population is too cosmo-
politan and too much absorbed in
trade and commerce to enter with en-
thusiasm into the preparation of an
historic pageant There are many
people there who know nothing and
care nothing about the history of the
city"
But the towns In America whose
history goes back far enough to af-
ford good material for the presenta-
ton Of pageants in them are by no
means SO limited as Mr.. Parker ap.
pears to think. Anybody familiar
with American history could easily
specify a dozen or more that would
well answer the purpose.

A STORY OF LIVINGSTONE.
Explorer Won Admiration Of Power
ful African Chief.

Francois Coillard for many years a
missionary in Africa, told an odd story
OF David Livingstone, the famous ex-
plorer. Coillard was staying at a viii
lage In Bechuanaland. One morning,
hearing a noise and unaccountable agi-
tation. he ran out of his hut to find the
place invested by the Makololos. under
Sebitomane, a mighty chief. Living
stone, who had sjambok In his hand,
felt 80 indignant at the pillage that.
seeing a man crawling out OF one OF
the huts, he brought down several
blows on his back. which made the
blood start and raised welts. 1t was
Sebitoane himself. He rose, seized
Livingstone in fury by th1 hair and
threw him to the ground
Warriors ran up and their assagais
were about 10 pierce Livingstone,
when Sebitoane stopped them, saying:
Let him go, he is a stranger and a
white man" Then. looking straight
at him, he said: You have courage.
you are a brave man. Never before
has any one dared TO strike me. Liv-
ingstone then understood Tor the nrst
time whom he had attacked. You are
strong" he said, and peace was made.
Livingstone gave money 20 Sebitoane
and Sebitoane gave Livingstone five
oxen.
Seven years later Livingstone and
the chief met and ioked together over
the incident you are strong man"
said Livingstone, ito have taken me-

Rather an amusing affair in the

Mr.. C. P. Berry the manager of the
Commercial Hotel, was accosted by a
farmer who had quite a large lot Of
eggs for sale. The farmer had not
counted the eggs before leaving home,
but had more than a bushel. He told
Mr.. Berry he would take certain
price per dozen, but as Mr.. Berry was
in hurry he made a price for the
bushel or more eggs. The farmer
finally agreed to take the price and
delivered them to Mr.. Berry. It was
then suggested that the eggs be count
ed just for the fun Of it to see who
was really the loser. After the count
the farmer found that he had BEEN
badly stuck, as there were about ten
dozen more eggs in the tub than he
really thought there were. Mr.. Berry
saw very soon that the egg man had
