Perhaps the funniest thing Of all

Little Touches That Alter Appearance

AT the present moment we have am

one play the part Of many, says a
writer in the Montreal Herald. Some
Of these take the form Of fichus made
Of folds Of thin or thick material,
which are thrown over the shoulders
and fasten at the waistband. Then
there is a new form Of bolero which is
attached to waistband that forms an
accentuated point on the front from
which a couple Of straps is attached
to the bolero, that opens wide in front
and falls over the point Of the shoul-
der. Both the band and the bolero
are generally covered with embroid-
cry, and the many gold embroidered
bodices which come from the east can
be adapted to them. Then there is the
plnafore effect which completely
changes the whole aspect of the dress

THE FINAL REUNION.

a solemn rite OF blessed peace,
Of brotherhood which VIII not cease,
Was that IA which the flags Of yore,
Once waving DER fierce fields Of gore
IN bitter fight were side By side
Placed with an equal love and pride,
While reverent bent was every brow
Rivals once, But comrades now.

Till tears from fun hearts dimmed thei
sight.
The men in gray, the men in blue,
Each to his own traditions true
Yet clasping hands in friendship real,
AS brave men tried by brave mems stee
Both fain to mutual embiems bow,

IN HONOR OF EXPLORERS.
Sun Dial Erected for NavIgstors Who
Discovered California.


The ceremony Of the unveiling Of a
sun dial erected in honor of Fortune
Jiminiez, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and
Sir Francis Drake, the first three navi-
gators to explore the California coast,
took place in Golden Gate park a short
time ago on the four hundred and
fourteenth anniversary Of the discov-
cry OF America. This interesting mon
ument is e gift to San Francisco from
the National Society Of Colonial
Danes, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The sun dial, which has been placed
In front Of the south wing of the park
museum and which is the only sun dial
in Golden Gate park. is the creation Of
sculptor Earl Cummings. IN 1t one
sees beauty and dignity from a dis

close examination. Across the face Of
this solar timepiece is inscribed the
lines, "Horam sole nolente neco,

Taft and DeSDOtism,

In a recent issue, the Inter Island
News, published at Zamboanga, P.
said: "Taft's sympathies are alto
gether with the great and powerful
and, in his estimation, the rights OF
property are paramount to the rights
of man. He is a natural born auto
crat, and with a hungry mob of place
hunters back of him, would set about
creating a strong centralized govern
ment which would be the stepping
stone to the abrogation of the most
cherished rights of the American peo-
pie. In our estimation, his govern
ment of the Philippine Islands proves
this beyond all dispute, since it was
one continuous assault upon the rights
of the people through arrogant con-
troll of the judiciary, abolishing trial
by jury, appealing from verdicts of
mot guilty. increasing punishment
on appeal, denying American citizens
the right to keep arms, and the enact
ment of severe libel and sedition laws
Let his record of despotism in these
islands be warning to the American
people to trust Taft in no position
where he can demolish the structure
of their government"

The New Country SchOolhOuse.

"The old country schoolhouse OF
not so long ago will soon be relic
of the past" said James Tighe OF
Altoona, Pa, although one travel
ing through the country sees many OF
these old fashioned structures, he
does not realize that they are rapidly
being deserted, and that consolidated
schoolhouse will be met with farther
up the road. These new buildings
are graded, and many have several
high school courses, so that one teach
er now teaches only one class, where
as in the old days the pedagogue
taught everything from the alphabet
to Latin. Of course, the consolidated
schoolhouse is not so convenient to
all the children, as they have to go
a greater distance, but all of them
ride to school nowadays. The con-
solidated school is much cheaper to
the community, and what the farmer
saves in taxes he puts in sleighs and
wagons, so that his children may ride.
Pupils can also remain at their home
schools much longer than they for
merly could and this is also great
saving. We may expect great results
from this change, for the farmers
with their poor schools have turned
out some wonderful men, and they
should do even better under the new
conditions. ."-Washington Post.

Taft's Speech at Grants Tomb.

AS to the taste of Secretary Taft in
speaking so bluntly at Gen. Grants
tomb, in the presence of his descend
ants and his old soldiers, we do not
believe that there will be two opinions
in this country. 1t was shockingly
bad, and augurs ill for his success as
a tactful candidate. AS Mr.. Taft says
this morning, the facts in regard to
Gen. Grants early withdrawal from
the army are a matter of record
accessible to every student; for this
reason no special duty of correcting
misapprehensions and setting forth
newly discovered truths rested upon
him. Even if he had not been aware
of the expected presence of the rel
atives of Gen. Grant, the time and the
place might have suggested that the
period of eclipse in the great soldiers.
life could have been indicated in less
offensive language. Altogether we in
cline to think that the incident will
make the Republican managers shiver,
They cannot have concealed from
themselves the truth that the Secre-
tary, for all his rare and delightful
personal charm, has not impressed
himself upon the public, or aroused
genuine popular interest, by the many
speeches he has made in the last six
months. Rum, Romanism, and Re-
bellion helped to wreck one Republi-
can candidate; the appearance of Gen.
Grants whiskey at this stage of the
campaign, is, at least, ominous.-N. Y.

Roosevelt and the Platform.

Everyone must be pleased to learn
that President Roosevelt is now busy
constructing the platform which his
party is to adopt at Chicago. These
things ought not to be left to chance
or the occasion. And there is obvious
propriety in permitting the man who
has forced a candidate upon his party,
to frame the platform upon which that
candidate is to stand. Furthermore,
this gathering of the platform-makers
at the White House will insure just
the right touch of awe and adulation
in the resolutions endorsing the Ad-
ministration which RAISED the coun-
try to new pitch, etc., has given a
glorious example, and so on, to which
we pledge ourselves and so forth. Be-
sides all this, it would be an advan-
tage, this time, to have a platform
stating the things that the party really
means to do, instead of, as in 1904,
one that sedulously concealed the
Presidents intentions. If it be OBJ
jected that Mr.. Roosevelt is under
taking too minute a management OF
the Chicago Convention the reply is
that he will permit it to appoint it's
own doorkeepers and notification COM
mittee Once, when an alarmed
Democrat went to Dean Richmond to
point out that his "slate" did not
include the nomination of State
Engineer, or some minor official of
that sort, the boss pondered for a
moment and then said magnanimously,
"Ill leave that to the Convention" -
