You read In the papers just now
That ia shions are ready for fall
And one is expected to bow
To things that completely appall,
For man can't acknowledge somehow
The grace in what womans allowed
But he's bound to look happy though in

And go with the rest OF the crowd
The hat that is mushroom in shape
Is apt to reduce us to tears.
That dress with accompanying cape,
With the collar right up to the ears,
1s.enough to make any one cape
With wide open mouth at the style.
And those things that are fluffy and so to
speak ruffy
Are sure to elicit a smile.
The feathers that hang down the back

OF hair on the other is new

ROBERT FULTON MEMORIAL.
Noble Structure Designed For River
side Drive, New York.


The design for tl,e Robert Fulton
memorial in New York has recently
been completed by Architect Richard
A. Waite of New York. 1t comprises
not only a shaft and statue of Robert
Fulton, but also crypt for his body,
which now lies in Trinity churchyard,
In New York: also Il museum devoted
to Fulton memorials and exhibits OF
marine mechanism and construction
such as have marked the development
of navigation and of which Fultons
practical application of steam was an
epoch, says the New York, World.
AS tlfr IDEAL spot for the monument
DR.. Waite suggests the foot of One
Hundred and Sixth street, where it en-
ters Riverside drive. He would place
the center of the monument directly in
front of this street, which commends
itself as one of the few fine broad 100
feet streets of that region. AS an ap-
Droach from the roadway and the ave-
nues east it is almost ideal as affording
clear view with direct perspective
from the knoll in Central park. AT the
intersection of One Hundred and Sixth
street with Riverside drive is an ele
vation that will admit of spacious
terrace, with broad steps descending
to the crossings leading to the memo
rial.

HOMES FOR CLASSIC MUSIC.
r. e. Johnston Has a Plan to Build a
Chain Of Thirty Halls.

A plan to build chain of thirty con-

''for the use of classical musicians ex-

by Robert e. Johnston. a former man

New York Times.

Several financiers" We're interested in

Mr.. Johnston said that. excepting
the symphony hall in Boston. there is

Lono Distance Smokino.

q new smoke which, it is believed, may

Intelligencer. While examining some
glass chemistry tubes he noticed

smoke would taste through it. By
means of rubber he attached the
glass tube and tried it. The smoke
was altogether different from that Of
the ordinary pipe. for while passing
through the tube it was much cooler.
He attached other tubes until his pipe
was ten feet long and allowed 1t to

was that the smoke gave new sensa-

PULLMAN.-The scarcity of re-

the shipment of the fruit cropof the
Palouse country and the apparent in
difference of the railroad company is
the cause for much indignation among
the fruit producers. The growers are
also indignant over the action of two
fruit companies operating in this Sec
ton that pack and ship the fruit in
boxes carrying the labels of other
points, thus robbing the country of
the credit of the production.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26,-Congrat-
ulatory kilograms a nd cablegrams are
beginning to arrive at the White
House today from all parts of the
world in anticipation of the 49th
birthday, tomorrow, of President
Roosevelt. Kings, queens and emper-
ors, ambassadors and diplomats, gov
eminent officials and governors of
states, and hundreds of private citi-
zens are joining in the flood of well
wishes. The president will spend the
day quietly, attending church with his
family, as usual, and there will be lit
tie beyond the customary Sunday rou-
tine to indicate that the chief execu-
tive of the nation has reached another
milestone in his strenuous life.
President Roosevelt was 40 years
old yesterday, and the fact that he
has so nearly reached the fiftieth year
mark is responsible no doubt, for the
popular impression that he is begin
ming to show his age" To say that a
man is so makes 1t appear that he is
much older than when he is 40. 1t
sounds" old, but those who have had
opportunity to scrutinize the president
summer vacation do not agree with
the statement that he is looking older.
1t Is true that the excellent photograph
of him printed recently, showing him
as he started out on his present tour
wearing a plug hat and a frock coat,
gave him a touch of settled dignity
that does not really belong to his
makeup. But an untouched photo
graph is apt to sho wmarks in mans
face like crows feet and other indica-
tions of age that are not noticeable in
the original.
President Roosevelt is not getting
perceptibly gray, and he looks this fall
more sturdy, vigorous and alert than
ever There is one sure sign of age
growing upon him, however that
would give a clew to the date of his
birth were it not set down so precisely
in his official biography. The president
is growing fat. There is no denying
this Until recently it has been posi-
BILE for his admirers and apologists to
deny that his increasingly stock ap-
pearanee is due to increasing flesh, as
they have been able to attribute 1t to
the hereditary broadness of his shoul-
ders and hips and the hardness of his
muscles. When a man Of President
Roosevelt's height, however, tips the
scale at 2121s pounds, as he did on
the day that he left Oyster Bay to re-
turn to Washington, there is nothing
for even his fiatterers to do but admit
that even allowing for big shoulders,
big hips and big muscles, their idol is
getting fat.
