Tie Honest Friend.

We are all travellers in what John
Bunyan calls the wilderness Of this

our travels is an honest friend. He is
a fortunate voyager who finds many.
We travel, indeed, to find them. They
are the end and reward of life.-Rob

The Use of Braid,

There are white broadcloth costumeA
braided in black, but these are rather
too conspicuous to be favorites with
women who have but few gowns. 1t is
thought more desirable to braid dark
costume with light colored braid III
order that the braid may be removed
at some future time and the gowr
worn with a contrasting coat.

What Is to Be in Fashion.

It is quite in keeping with other ten

Of the arm that comes Immediately be-
low them. Milliners are even brought
to book with respect to the exceeding
size of their hats which, it is urged,
do not suit the new mode in dresses,
but as yet see no signs of their be-
ing moved by any such arguments
Waists continue to be made more or
less short, but there is no particular
care taken to make them look small
as with the hips. On the other hand,
throats must be made to appear long
and slender. Not only are collars
made as close-fitting and high as pos
sible, but they are invariably finished
by ruching of lace or net-a fashion
which in the long run comes expensive
as they have to be continually re-

New Curtain Material.

A new drapery material that is
quite inexpensive-19 cents yard-is
extremely pretty and cool-looking 1t

voile as to background, and is printed
in all the prettiest colorings, floral,
conventional and stripes.
It is called Arabian cloth, and will
be charming fashioned into window
curtains and other draperies required
for summer use.
In this material a dull ecru ground
in design of tulips is beautiful, and
not less so, though more subdued, are
the conventional effects in pastel
tones.

The American Author.

The chief thing in the average Amer
lean novel is the amazing vitality of
the author. He writes always at the
top Of his voice, His strenuousness Is
unceasing. The reader can almost see
the swollen veins on his forehead, the
tight drawn mouth and flashing eye.
1t is do it or die. And he never knows
where to stop. With his feverish anx-
iety to make points he does not seem
to realize when he has achieved his
purpose and frequently fizzles out in
effectively. He has ideas. He has
vast quantities of material. He has a
command Of language, a fatal fluency
that frequently leads to his downfall,
for he lacks sense Of values. He
lacks self restraint. He is full of
tricks and artfulness, but he is not an
artist.-London Saturday Review.

Didn't Please the Critic.

When Verdi was putting the last
touches to I'll Trovatore" he was Wis
tied in his study by privileged friend.
The friend was one of the ablest living
musicians and critics. He was permit
ted to look ut the score and run over
the anvil chorus" on the pianoforte.
"What do you think of that?" asked
the master. "Trash!' said the con-
noisseur. Verdi rubbed his hands and
chuckled, Nov, look at this and this"
he said. Rubbish said the other,
rolling a cigarette. The composer rose
and embraced him with burst of JOY.
what do you mean?" asked the critic.
"My dear FRIEND" cried Verdi. II have
been making popular opera. In it I
resolved to please everybody except
the purists, the great Judges, the clas-
sicists, like you. Had pleased you I
should have pleased no one else. What
you say assures me of success. In

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says. Zone of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs. and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.

WHAT THE TREE SAID.
How It Gained the Little Leafs Fear
of the Wind.

How It Gained the Little Leafs Fear
of the Wind.
Once upon a time a little leaf was
heard to sigh and cry, as leaves often
do when gentle wind blows. And
the twig said:
What is the matter, little leafY
'Trhe wind" said the leaf, ''just told
me that one day it would pull me off
and throw me to the ground to die"
The twig told it to the branch, and
the branch told it to the tree, and
when the tree heard 1t it sent this
word back to the little leaf
"Do not be afraid; hold on tightly
and you shall not go off till you want
to-"
And so the leaf stopped signing and
went on singing and rustling all sum-
mer long until November came. When
the bright days Of autumn were at
hand the leaf saw all the leaves around
Becoming very beautiful. Some were
yellow and some were red and some
were striped with colors. Then it ask.
ed the tree why this was, and the tree
replied:
"All these leaves are getting ready to
ny away, and they have put on these
.colors because of their Joy"
Then the leaf began to want to go
: and grew very beautiful thinking about
It, And when it was very gay in col
OPS 1t saw that the branches of the
= tree had no colors in them, so the leaf
said:
ooh, branch, why are you SO lead
colored and we so golden?"
1--WE must keep on our work Clothes"
said the tree, "for our work is not yet
done, but your clothes are for holt
day because your task is over"
Just then little puff Of wind came
and the leaf let go without thinking,
and the wind took it up and turned it
over and then let it fall gently down
under the edge Of fence among hun
dreds Of leaves, and 1t is lying there
now, fast asleep, making warm COW
er for tiny violet that will bloom
next spring.-Philadelphi Ledger

A NECESSARY EVIL Says tho Carbon County (Mont)


 Says tho Carbon County (Mont.) News:
 ''Thcre isn't liar in Carbon
 county. Several weeks ago we ad-
 vcrtised the fact that we would
 give 8 prize for the bsst fish story, and not single story las made its
 appearance.
 The latter statement by no means jus tifcs tho first, We fear. If 1t did, 1t would be, perhaps, fine advertisement for the moral tone of Cswbon county. We imagine there are ay number of truth stretchers at large n that partic- ular neck of tho woods about tho us ual average we should say The scan dal mongers, talebearer, and so forth flourish in every community on earth, moro or less verdantly, we fancy, and if Carbon county is fres' of them 1t Is to be congratulated.
 Any neighborhood, however, that boasts not at least one high-class, ac- complished, cheerful, and painstaking fish liar is to be pitied. The fish liar Is an absolutely necessary evil, to say the worst of him. As 8 matter of fact, he causes no one single heartache; hs brings with his false pretenses not ono fraction of malice, sinister design to dc. ceive, or measure of fraud that re- dounds to his material interests whatso- ever. The tangled web he weaves when first he practices to deceive interferes with the happiness of no living man, woman, or child. He is benevolent prevaricator, and moves in mysterious way his wonders to perform. We contend that deception utterly devoid of malign intent is not always outlawed righteously by common sense. There would be no humorists in this world if there were no such thing as exaggeration permitted. Nothing is fun. ny or mirth- h-proking that isn't mts shapen in some degree. The grotesqus is impossible minus the distortion; ever the grin must be twisted out of shape to appeal to one's resibilities.
 Wherefore. we stand up and call the fish liar blessed. He is a gentleman and a scholar, with a noble and uplifting mission in this world He gets there because he deserves to.
