GO SLOW.

Democrats Of Missouri should
remember that an election comes
after the August primary and
that the state Democratic ticket
must be elected. Hence it does
not behoove any Democrat to
abuse another in the contest be-
fore the primary. Abuse Of the
candidate opposing the man
of your choice can result
only in harm and may turn some
votes from the Democratic into
the Republican column.
Last year in Oklahoma Mr..
Haskell before he received the
Democratic gubernatorial nom
nation so villifed his opponents
that nearly any one Of them could
have been beaten, had he been
nominated, by a high class Re-
publican. Haskell himself was
severity criticized and it was the
unpopularity Of Frant that
decided the election.
1t is bad policy to supply the
opposition with ammunition. IF
you are anxious to see a man
nominated, boost him. sing his
praises, tell your friends Of his
good qualities; but don't run
down any one who stands a
chance of being a Democratic
nominee.

Strengthen the Tickets.

The Herald's insistence upon
strengthening the state ticket
has brought quick and approving
comment from the democratic
press and people. With Mr..
Cowherd the democratic nom
inee for governor the head of
the ticket will De strong and
worthy. But the other and so
called minor positions on the
ticket should be filled by the
strongest available democrats.
The offices of lieutenant-gov-
ernor, auditor, Encouragement,
treasurer and secretary of state
should receive special attention.
Candidates who are honest, cap
able and well qualified ought to
be nominated for these positions.
Particularly is this true in the
presidential election year when
the republicans win make siren
uous efforts to carry the state and
will place their best men in the
field. The democratic party
should not make the serious
mistake Of weakening the state
ticket by the nominees upon it
other than governor ~ Columbia

The weII-Dressea woman.

Always be we'll gloved and well shod,
and the dress will take care of itself.
1T is very simple" advises the woman
who has never earned a slice of bread
and butter in her life, and would proba-
bly, starve if she were suddenly left to
support herself. Every one knows that
good gloves and good shoes are nee
essary part of her dress, and she knows
too, that much depends on her personal
appearance; but when the rent of her
hall bedroom is paid, or perhaps of the
little fiat where her mother keeps house
and sisters, and when the milk and gas
and bread and other bills are paid, to
be well gloved and well shod is far less
simple than it sounds.
To be well gloved one must have
more than one pair, and ditto with
shoes. Sometimes one can spare the
change to buy gloves, but by the time
shoe money has accumulated the gloves
are wern; so while formerly she had
good gloves and shabby shoes, she now
has good shoes and shabby gloves. And
50 it goes. '.Haye one good tailor-made
suit and plenty of shirt waists" adj
vises another woman. Well and good.
Shfrtwaists mean laundry bills, and
unless a tailored suit be of the more
or less expensive cloth, which will not
shrink with the first foggy evening or
wear up rough after few outings, the
effect of trying to be well dressed on
one suit fails after a week or two

ourselves and talking SO mulh?'
Il think said Lorraine, milling gent
ly as she passed up the stairs, shat the
last day anywhere always goes fast"
Standing before her glass. when she
was dressed, she looked at herself with
a long intentness, yet without any of the
thoughts natural to a girl who gazes on
her own surprising beauty. Then she
raised her right hand slowly, and took
the flowers from her hair. Another look,
and then-with strange feeling that they
were the cause of the misery that pressed
upon her-she put up her hand once more,
and covered the longing dark gray eyes.

A summary of the important discoveries
made by Sven Hedin, the Swedish explor-
er, during his latest journey into the for
hidden land of Tibet, according to a
Simla interview telegraphed to the Lon
don Times, is as follows: He found the
true sources Of several important rivers,
including the Brahmaputra and Indus,
and twice crossed the Province Of Bongba,
which had never before been visited by a
European. But his greatest discovery
was that of a. continuous mountain chain
which, taken as a whole, is the most mass
i've range on the earth's surface. Al
though its peaks are from 1000 to 5000
feet lower than Mount Everest its passes
average 5000 higher than those Of the
Himalayan range. Not tree or a bush
grows on this range and there are no
deep cut valleys for rain is scanty Hedin
proposes TO call this range the Trans
Himalaya. At first the explorer tried to
conceal his identity from the Tibetan and
Chinese officials, but when discovered he
boldly dared them to harm him, at the
same time warning them that they would
be made to suffer If they did so.

The woman and the Collar.

Society may assume that the sign of
woman's emancipation from the seclu-
sion Of the harem or the slavery of
the savage tribe is her education, or
her domestic responsibility, or her civic
Importance. Not at all. The symbol
OF her freedom to do as she pleases
and to be what she pIecses is her pos
session of the right to wear the mas
cliline linen collar. Comfort, trim
aess, responsibility, dignity are all en-
trenched behind the spotless white of
the carefully laGudered band. Safe in
its firm grasp, a woman nay be active
or idle, warm or cool, calm or excited
The history of the collar is interest

modern device. Those who would
ed by the savage mistake its real sig
nificance. 1t began its existence in
civilization, not in barbarism. The ruff
invented to hide royal scar evolved
into the lace ruche and the linen band.
The Byronic collar proclaimed laxity
OF morals, as the white stock declared
for the stern virtue of the Puritan. But
the conventional modern collar has en-
circled the neck Of the modern free
man for many years, and has appar-
emily established its claim as a kind
of insignia of liberty.
Let the woman beware how the
charms of lingerie or Ice beguile her

CHAPTER X.

These autumn days went by on noise

joiced with all her heart over Rourke's

and he was always the Rourke she had
