DUPLICATED IN A DUMMY.
Woman's Shape Reproduced i'm n
Drcssmaker's Dummy.

In the old days when a woman was
making a dress for herself the opera
tion of fitting was always performed
by calling in some obliging person,
who would shape the cloth over the
person for whom 1t was designed. Or
sometimes 1t was necessary for he
amateur to pick out from her friends
some woman of the same general
shape who would offer herself as the
model to stand for an hour or two
while this tedious process was sub
mitted to.
Later she arrived at more dis
eliminating period. when she had to
supply herself with a dummy on
which to shape her clothes while In
the course of construction. These
things made in different sizes which
were kept In stock, for while an
swered all purposes, for woman

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be- buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tratlon, another with pain here and there,
and In this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribcs
his pill and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the

However, Miss Bea was a wise
young lady. who knew the only way
TO win her teachers affection was
through her music. Her ancestors
were not musicians as Carl Wagner's
had been, but Bea had lots of deter
mination.
When another year had passed
Hea asked Professor Wagner to give
her one of Mozart's most difficult
scores. He had tried to convince
her that she would not enjoy this
lesson. but she told him she should
try II at least. Day and night Bea
practised the beautiful masterpiece
until she was certain the professor

girl told her the professor was out,
but would be back directly, and ush-
cred Bea into the music room. Bea
sat down and began to play her
lesson, softly. then forgetting where
she was, she put her whole soul in
it and played as never before.
She was aroused by loud Bravo,
bravo, my brave girl" and spring
ing to her feet there stood Carl Wag-
ner with admiration in his eyes, and
rare smile on his face.
My dear Bea," he said, reaching
out his hands, which Bea had often
compared to gigantic spiders, wan
dering over the keys, how did you
learn to play like this?" His sur
prise and gladness were so apparent
that Bea could do nothing but burst
iato tears, which was really the best
thing that she could have done.
Music was forgotten as the Pro-
fessor drew the pretty figure to him.
Don't cry, dear little Bea," he said,

bending down he kissed the rosy
lace that was hiding on his shoulder,

Open Cotton.

The first open cotton boil of the
season is always matter OF mo-
ment anywhere in the great cotton
belt. 1t means that there will
soon be other open boles and that
the big bales will quickly follow
and the banks always pay out the
money for the cotton. They may
hesitate on every thing else but
cotton brings the money and when
the farmer gets it he put it's in cir
culation and as the new blood OF
commerce circulates the communi-
ty takes on renewed business life.
The first new open cotton bole
of the season, so far as this section
is concerned, is at the Enterprise
offic and was found yesterday on
the farm of Mr.. G. A. Renard.
Mr.. Renard is rather an agricul-
turalist than a farmer. The farm
er is supposed to live on the farm.
Mr.. Renard lives in the city and
rides out to the farm often enough
to get the first bole and the ripe
fruit and the like.

POOLING THE REPORTERS.
Visitors Who Leave the White House
 By Rear Doorway.

At last the mystery of the apparent dearth of White House callers these days has been solved. So flaw states men have been dropping in to see the President for the past ten days or two weeks as to cause comment. l. is now learned that the politicians are going to the White House in the us- ual numbers, but they come and g by secret passage, so as to escape the eyes of vighant reporters and corrc- spondents, thereby keeping rival poli- ticians in the dark as to what Is go- ing on.
 The secret was let out this morning when Frank H. Hitchcock. the new managerial chief of the Taft presi- dential boom, was discoverea making his exit from a relr dor of the White House. A big crowd of newspaper men wasted more thln an hoI.. wait ing at the main cnsrlnce for his de- parture. He got away without say ing a word.
 The Knox. Cannon, Fairbanks and other favorite-son candidates are Non- dering who is responsible fur this new move on the part of he Tat men to get the ear Gf the President without letting the fact become known. A strict tab is kept on the Presidents callers who come and SC by the usual entrance, but ,body knows who have made the under ground" trip and escaped withou; n1- tice.
 A new feature of the Taft plan of campaign has also been discovered, The hotels are regularly eanvassed ev- cry morning by one or two enrhuslas- tic friends of the war secretary. When southern Republican of promin .nre is encountered who may be able t) control convention delegates arrange ments are made to take him .o call on the President The influential strang- CT Is taken to the east entrance to the White House, which is ordinarily used only to admit social guests 10 big fucntions. and then pilored thr Ugh the "subterranean" passage ;' trc Presidents office on the far west side.

Thus the out-of-town politician secures an audience with the White House gives his rep p,rt of conditions in his dis. 't.t md gets away without the world even '.rect- ing that he has been near the Presi- | dent.
 This system of lassoing delegates rn | Pennsylvania avenue and leading them to the White House through the secret passage may have been in effect for weeks for all the Fairbanks, Knox and other supporters know.
 The newspapers ar. now making arrangements to station men at the east entrance to the White House with instructions to keep a strict look. out for all the private doors and win. dows. There has bsen so little fol tho regular White House correspond ents to report e la.e nat they have taken to playing chess, theck,rs art other time-killing games.
