Some Corset Wisdom.

Hipless hips being essential, corset
economy is thing of the past.
Remember, it is the corset makes
the figure. Keep trying until it makes
good one.
A fifty-dollar corset badly put on is
about as useful as silver harness with
worn-out girths.

There is a fascination in making the
pretty little conveniences OF which pic
lures are shown here. And it is a
great pleasure to remember ones
friends with them. A few odd lengths
of ribbon or scraps of silk and a little
time is about all that it takes to make
them. They provide an occupation for
moments that would otherwise be
quite unemployed, when one is visit
ing or on a vacation, and wishes little
attractive fancy work to do. And how
convenient when Christmas time rolls
around with so many on the list of
those we long to remember ant time
and money so short
The pin cushion shown is of four
strips of figured ribbon stitched to-
gether and fastened at the top with
a bow of narrow ribbon. A square of
ribbon forms the bottom of this little
square silk sack, which is stuffed with
cotton or sawdust. Pins of various
sizes and colors are thrust in the
figured portions. and larger pins are
placed along the seams.

upper part. 1t should be covered with
thin layer of wadding to give a soft
appearance to the silk, which is tightly
strained over and fixed with seccotine
or fine tacks, a fancy furniture gimp
finishing the edge.
The sketch gives half the design for
embroidery of lower part. The same,
without the festoons, may be used for
the back. Our model had ground
work of soft green Roman satin, upon
which pale pink poppies with black
centers were worked in long stitches;
the festoons were in brown silk,

smaller flowers, in very pale gray
blue, the leaves in two or three shades

PREDICTS JAPANESE WAR.
Member of British Parliament Says
 Conflict Is Unavoidable.

Montreal, Aug, 17,--T Hamer Greenwood the most prominent Can adian in the British parliament and q member of the executive committee of the liberal party of Great Britain who is visiting Canada, predicts conflict between Japan and America. He says:
 Japan Is herself preparing to re- strict the overflow of her people into countries where they are not wanted, but It does not require a prophet to foresee that the feeling between these swarthy John Bulls of the Pacific and the white races of America will soon become acute and may mean war. Just now Japan Is having tremen- dous struggle to make both ends meet in national finances and has cut down her naval and military program by large amounts, 1 have no doubt my self, however, that when she gets over tho economic losses of the late war with Russia there will be trouble. If she can stir up and force an alliance with half-awakened China the yellow peril will be a reality"

 Although 1t Is quite common for Mir Taft to receive letters from the Philippine Islands expressing a desire for his success he was somewhat sur prised to-day to get one from Admiral Cervera of Spanish war fame,
 T pray for the election of Senoi Taft for president, writes the ad. miral.

HUGHES GOES ON
 STUMP FOR TAFT National Committee Calls on Governor to Pull the Party

 Man Is Effectively Muzzled.
A CRUEL BLOW TO MACHINE

New York, Aug. 17.--That Goveronr Charles F. Hughes will be one of the principal republican campaign orators in the coming campaign, and that he will be relied on by the managers of Tafts campaign to help carry the Mid dle west for the republican nominees, is the announcement made today at the republican national headquarters by Col. T. Coleman Du Pont. chief of the national committees speakers bureau.
 Though no official tidings arc forth coming as to the effect of this upon Timothy l.. Woodruff, William Barnes, jr., w. l.. Ward, and the other local leaders, who have been fussing and fumlng at the prospect of having to re- nominate the governor, 1t is the gem eral opinion that they will find them selves in more uncomfortable and ridiculous position than ever,
 1t Is regarded as high compliment 10 Mir. Hughes that so much reliance Is to be placed upon him after he was one of Taft's competitors for the re- publican presidential nomination. That he Is much esteemed by Mir. Taft and his advisers Is evident. It has not yet been announced that Vice-President Fairbanks, or Speaker Cannon or Sem ators Knox or La Toilette or Foraker are going to be looked to for this sort of service. Doubtless each will be con- cerned to greater or less extent in carrying his own particular state for Taft. or in helping to pile up a safe majority Except in the ease of For aker these men either control or are closely associated with the machines In their respective commonwealths. and their political pre-eminence and right to speak as republicans Is unaues- tioned
 Now when the bosses plead with the voters to help them nominate some one else, because Hughes Isn't republi- can" the voter can point to the man who is stumping the Middle West for the ticket, and reply: "He seems to be good enough republican for Taft guess he's good enough for me"
 II seemed to be the general opinion of those republicans who would talk to- day that Gov Hughes had effectually spiked one of his adversaries' guns. Ii they continue to oppose him now, II will have to be with other arguments than that of his lack of republicanism

NEGRO BLAMEs NEGROES.

 League to Reform the Race.

Chicago, Aug. IA law and order league, composed of negro residents of the South Side, to stamp out law lessness and crime In the "black belt of Chicago, and to prevent any such happenings as have marked the last two days In Springfield, will be form ed tomorrow night at mass meet ing in the Institutional African Meth odist Episcopal church.
 The decision to form such an or ganization was taken yesterday, after a stirring appeal by the Rev, H. E. Stewart, pastor of the church.
 .''The bad and lawless element of the negro race always has and will continue to affect the better element vastly more than the lawless element of the white will affect that race, the preacher said. Our people art judged by the worst element of oui race, and unless we rise and condemr and fight against this lawless element we will be rightly judged.
 Tn the trouble at Springfield we are apt, perhaps, to condemn the whites. But we must accept oul share of the responsibility.
