THE .HIPLEsso WALK.

With the new h!pless figure, which Is
nearly a straight line from armDit 10
skirt hem, sans hips or waistline, a new
walk becomes necessary.
The STRAIGHTFORWARD swinging. gc-as-

ORIENTAL BAG DESIGN.

Very oriental Is the design for A bag
made to look like a Chinese lantern.
Three yards of PompadOUr ribbon five
inches wide were used IN making II.
The ribbon was cut into six pieces OF
equal length pointed at one end.
The pointed ends were sewed together
forming the full bottom OF the bag.
A casing OF white satin ribbon an inch
wide was sewed around the bag eigh'
inches from the top.
Into the casing was run featherbone
then covered with fancy stitches OF pink
and green rope silk, matching the fig
ures Of the ribbon.
The featherbone ring keeps the ba
in shape so that when Il is opened all
its contents are viTible. which in itself
is boon to anyone who has searched
in an ordinary work-bag for some elu-
sive article that cannot be found until
the bag has been turned upside down
and inside out.
This would be a very sensible. hand
kerchief bag or developed In black, II
would be convenient for shopping.

KANSAS PHILOSOPHY.

younger than himself is more of a sue

II is unfortunate that at one time
there were orators who swayed the null

attempted the same thing and bored the

Each day as the years go by;
A little more STOPPING In the form,

a little more faltering of the step
As we tread life's pathway Ger.
And a little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more halting OF the gait,
And a dullness of the ear:
A growing WEAKNESS Of the frame
with each swift passing year.
A fading OF hopes. and ambitions, too,
A faltering in life's quest,
And lttlS nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest
A little more loneliness in life
AS the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing day,
A little farther from toll and care,
A little less way to roam;
a drawing near 10 a joyful hope,
And a happy, welcome home.

BRYAN CARRIED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 20
(Special) Waters in the dining room
of the Raleigh Hotel were Mortified
when William ]. Bryan, after finish
ing his luncheon, proceeded to pro
duce dozen nice, doughnuts from
his pocket and ate five of them for
dessert.
When Mr. Bryan returned to Cotter
Brides home from the White House
on Saturday morning he found a
note and a box which had been sent
to him by an old lady whom he knew
while a member of Congress years
ago. He slipped the box into his
pocket and joined his daughter and
several friends at luncheon at the
Raleigh Hotel When dessert time
arrived he ordered the waiter to
search his pocket and bring forth
aThese,S he said ARE doughnuts
sent to me by an old friend, and we
are to eat every one of them"
All gladly consented, and the Peer

AS OTHERS THINK
Everyone in Americas Has a Right to
His Own Opinion.

While everyone has right to his
own opinion yet it is wise to always
consider what others think and profit
by their experience.
Nothing makes life SO miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American, as in
digestion, and it is well for us to give
fair consideration to what others think
about this remarkable affection
Dodson's Pharmacy are positive
that in Mona stomach tablets they
have an absolute cure for indigestion
and the many disagreeable symptoms
that follow this disease, such as dis
tress after eating, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, dizziness, fiatu-
lence, nervousness and debility.
Their action in selling Mi-o-na on
a guarantee to refund the money UNI
less it cures, shows plainly their be-
lief in the value Of this remedy They
take all the risk, and there will be NO
charge whatever for Mi-o-na unless
you are satisfied that it has relieved
you Of indigestion. 27-29-4

AEROPLANFS WILL
NOT BE CONSIDERED
Government Will Ask Bids
on Balloons.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov 20
Especial Regarding a published
statement that the Government had
contracted to take the Wright broth
ers' aeroplane, General Allen, chief
officer of the War Department, said:
There is not one line of truth in
it. We have had offers from the
Wrights, as we have from thousands
of others. All will be put on the
same plane. But we are, not after
aeroplanes now, and ! understand
that is what the Wright people make.
Our specifications, in a week or ten
days, will tell exactly what he want.
General Allen expects to publish
specifications for dirigible balloons
for the use of the United States
Government. When these specitica
tions are put out, bids will be invited
from every one who thinks he has an
airship of that sort. The COMPETE
ton will be open to every one. There
is no intention of holding a test or of
having race across the continent
The selection of the balloon will be
made by War Department experts.
Aeroplanes, or heavier than air"
machines, will not be included in
these specifications After the de-
partment has secured the best gas
balloon, it may ask for bids on the
other kind. But such machines as the
Wright Brothers, of Ohio, are maxi
ing, are not contemplated now.
An allotment of $4,000 for the
procurement by the chief signal Off
Ger of the army of one or more dirig-
ible balloons has been made by the
Board of Ordnance and Fortifications
The sum of $4,000 also has been allot-
ted for purchasing wireless tele-
phones.
