DOn'ts for Farmers.

Don't try to please your wife.
Don't appreciate one thing she does.
Don't help care for the children.
That is what you got her for.
Don't ever plan your work so as
to be able to take her to any enter
tainment.
Don't be ashamed to read that the
majority of insane women are farm
er's wives.
Don't get a bucket of water from
the cistern when asked. Anyone can
pump who half tries.
Don't fail to invite company for
Sunday dinner without letting her
know so she can have a day of rest
Don't fail to ask your wife if she
wants you to do all the houseworrk If
she asks you to put some wood in the
stove.
Don't wonder that your food has
a peculiar flavor, for it is seasoned
with blasted hopes and sighs of dis
appointment.
Don't neglect asking what she has
done with all the egg and butter
money, for 1t will more than supply
the table, help pay the hired man,
and get the children books and clothes.

NEW CHURCH AT LINEBORO.
Fine Edifice for Reformed and Luth'
eran Conversations.

The Reformed and Lutheran con-
gregations of Lazarus Church, Line
boro, dedicated their new church
building last Sunday. 1t Is one Of
the finest structures in this part Of
the State. 1t is cruciform struc-
ture, modern Gothic in style Of archi-
lecture. 1t is built of brick, with
sawed yellow sandstone trimmings
and has tower in which bell weigh
ing 1,500 pounds has been hung. The
building is go by 100 feet and has
three rooms so arranged that they
cna be thrown together and afford
seats for $50 persons. The main aud
ience room has a seating capacity Of
$50, and Sunday school and infant de-
partments accommodate 400 more.
The woodwork, altar and pulpit
furniture are of dark chestnut, polish
ed. The mural decoration, done by
Du Brau, of Baltimore, is churchly
and beautiful. A large modern reed
organ furnishes instrumental music.
The building is heated by steam and
has a gasoline lighting plant. 1t was
erected at cost of about $4,000, and
is an ornament to the village and the
surrounding country. 1t forms part
of the Manchester charges of the Re
formed and Lutheran churches. Great
pride is felt in it by the Immediate
members and the Reformed and Luth-
eran people throughout this county,
numbering we'll nigh 5000 communi-
cnats, take a deep interest in it.
Two services were held in connec-
tion with the dedication. Rev. DR..
J. A. Singmaster, president of the
Lutheran Theological Seminary, at
Gettysburg, and Rev. DR.. w. C. Shat
fer, of the faculty of the Reformed
Church Seminary, at Lancaster,
preached at both these services. Rev.
DR.. Thomas S. Land, pastor of the
Reformed congregation, and Rev. H.
III. Flick, pastor of the Lutheran con-
gregation, took part in the dedicatory
services.

TROUSERS NOT TO BE TURNED UP

style for the First TIme-styI-

and Very simple.

NEW YORK, April L-The styles for
men 20 be worn during the coming season
promise 10 be unmerciful to the narrow
shouldered. The plan of padding out the
shoulders to the abnormal width that was
modlsh few years ago has gradually
passed through the reaction inevitable in
all pronounced fashions. Now the ukase
has gone forth that tine high shoulder seam
is to be the distinguishing novelty of the
summer Of 1908 in mems dress.
This means that there will be no slant
to give the effect Of breadth of shoulder.
Broad-shouldered men will look narrower,
while those to whom nature has given no
breadth will be shown in their native slim
ness
1t may be said in defining generally the
salient features Of the summers dress that
-shouldered men will for the first
time find themselves in style. Men by
nature very broad VIII be made to look
smaller from the effect of the high sheul-
der seam
So there win be no reason why the mar
row-shouldered should resort to the pads
which were stylish only a short time ago
and have for years been with some men
an Inevitable feature Of their coats.
Filling or padding OF any kind will be
styles are notably free from anything that
makes for stiffness. Coats will lit over
the shoulders softly and loosely and the
lapels pressed down to the front of the
coat will be seen less than they have been
even during the last few years. All col
lars roll back softly and are a suspicion
narrower than they were.
Sack Coats a Little shorter.
Sack coats, which are really the standard
garment for summer wear. will be trifle
shorter than they have been worn. which

Iect of freedom and informality i'm dress
That all careful men must seek this sum-
mer IL they are to be in the latest mode
There win be less shape impaired TO the
waist, which is a move in the same direc-
tion. while the three seams in the back
win no longer end In open vents.
These vents were the inevitable result
of the overlong sack coat which has en-
Joyed favor for several seasons. In coats
so long some provision had to be made for
the movement OF the body, and that could
be supplied only by the deep vents.
There will be a vent in the center seam
only in the new coats There will be no
more strapped seams except on sporting
garments such as Norfolk and shooting
Jackets. The bottom flare on the coat, as
II was technically called. will appear no
more, for which all men of taste ought to
be thankful.
AS the sack coat wilt this year be
shorter, the two buttons by which those
most pronounced in style will be closed
do not seem as striking as they did when
the coats were long. The coat is still
cut low enough in the neck to show the

Meeting Of the General ASSEMBLY.

Meeting OF the General Assembly.
The general assembly of Louisiana
| convened at Baton Rouge last Mon.
day, according to law, and proceeded
expeditiously to the work of organiza-
ton. There had been interesting con
tests promised for the positions OF
president of the senate. pro tenn. and
speaker of the house Of representatives,
BUT the results of these were so clearly
foreshadowed by the time the session
opened that the candidates facing in
evitable defeat gracefully retired and
heir successful competitors were
chosen without opposition. For the
presidency of The senate three senators
lad been prominently mentioned
Messrs. Barrett of Caddo, Voegtle of
Orleans and La5be of st. Martin-and
Senator Barrett proved the winner of
The triangular competition. For
speaker the only candidates were
Representatives II. Garland Dupre of
Orleans and Z. Z. Thomas of Caddo,
and the friends OF each were equally
confident of success up TO a few days
before the general assembly convened.
Mr.. Dupr6's support proved the
stronger, however, and be- landed in
The chair BY the unanimous vote of his
colleagues.
The other officers of the two houses
are as follows:
