CHILDREN'S WRAPS ARE PLAIN.
Designs Show Much Less Elaboration
Than in Former Years.

New models in children's summer
coats and wraps are decidedly smart
and practical. for plain styles largely
prevail. Among these fashioned from
cloth the designs are simple, and the
heavier white goods, OF even sheer
fabrics, show less elaboration than in
former years.
For instance, the jaunty box coat
covering the dress and closing double
breasted is the most popular model
for everyday or general wear. though
the graceful little wraps made on
empire lines are a temptation when in
a childs size.
In materials the light weight
tweeds are favored. and nothing is
smarter than the small black a~I
white shepherds plaid. Plain cloths
in light weight are also fashioned in
box styles. but as 4 rule this fabric is
reserved for the more dyessy coats
The Sicilians and rnohairS, both
plain and checked. viii be used during
warm weather. There is nothing at
the price that wears sO well, for it
sheds the dust quickly and soils are
easily rubbed or sp0nged Off

a Gun in Bed.

The Wisconsin man who woke up III

seriously wounded his wife, thinking
she Was burglar. Is 10y 90 means the
first t9 he iIty 0f this mistake. which
- Gimo-t a crime.
|. is pretty GOOD thing to leave ali
tirearms whar- they belong, and Ito
ce;ner ?. safe rule uever to sl>pp with y
gun under tae pillow. y man suddenly
aUaEe:.ed by noise in the night l. ire
snOasibie. and if b sees auythiog tu.t
Ct<s lie a Gnrgta? he becomes NJ once
an C"erwrougEt luna'ic. lie is more
tha, likely 20 remember only one thins
that there is gun within reach and
that the only safety lies in shooting as
quickly As be can. asking necessary ques-
tons atterward.
People forget that gun is rather
poor protection against burglars, any
how. The thief who breaks irto n
house is always well armed ard has the
advantage of being wide awake and
keeuly observant of everything that is
happening, aud ready for anything like
ly to happen Once in thousand times,
perhaps. a burglar may be tak.n off his
guard, bat the other 999 he is master OF
the situation and will seldom hesitate to
shoot il the nan he Is trying to rob
shows signs OF resistance. Almost any
kind of noise to let the burglar know
people are awake will send him scurry-
ing out of the house as quickly as he
knows how. and that is much better
than duel in the dark, with the
chances altogethef in favor of the burg
lar.
The moral is, of course, as plain as
the nose on your face. Don't keep a
gun III bed; or If you must have one
there, train yourself to ask one simple
question of anybody you may hear
prowling around in the dark, before you
shoot. You may lose your burglar, but
if it isn't a burglar you will at least have
time to collect your senses and save your
wife.

Dainty and attractive neckwear al
ways gives a distinctive cachet to the
tailormade gown, and never within
the memory of the chroniclers of fash
ion has there been such a plethora of
choice. The woman with the swan

ed, as it seems as though these acces-

accentuate and enhance her charms.
Exceedingly becoming are the stock
collars of deep bands of folded satin
fastened at the back with a fringed

FINISHING linCerie Seams.

\ very clever idea for finishing The
rough seams of lingerie is to button
hole them, instead of making the or
dinary clumsy French seams The
stitches may be placed not too close
together, so that it takes very little
more time. and it is far more serv-
iceable way of finishing OFF the wron :
side of seams. This idea may be car
ried out in making up lingerie hats.
for. where there is a seam, it must be
arranged so that no rough edges pro-
trude. The idea may also be used on
a sheer muslin dress

form of entertainment for her friends
hit on this novel plan. When the in
vitatiOns were sent out there went
with them a request for loan Of the
first photograph that the recipient ever
had taken. These pictures were all
hung In one room and numbered To
each of the guests was given a card
with corresponding numbers and
pencil. Then each guest was expected
to put down opposite each number the
original of the picture whom she had
guessed 1t to represent. A first prize
for the one with the largest numbers
of right guesses was an old print Of
small size framed like a miniature.
The second prize was a pair Of brass

attorney or official of the steel
trust.

that Mr.. Jacobson represents the

Democratic Board Repudiates
Democracy.

Nor is this the only repudia-
ton of the Democratic platform
made by Democrats this fall or
the subject of tonnage tax. The
state board of equalization, now
thoroughly Democratic, on Oct
10 last, by vote of II to S.
turned down a resolution intro
duced by Thomas Meighen Of
Preston, which resolution recon-
mended the passage Of a tonnage
tax law to the NEXT legislature.
Gov. Johnson, although a mem
Der of this board failed to be
present at the important session
when this resolution was consid-
cred. There is no question as to
whether Gov. Johnson was in the
Twin Cities that day. He spoke
to large political gathering in
Minneapolis the same evening.
He could have been present if he
So desired.
Steel Trust Favored at Expense
of People.
Gov. Johnson was also absent
from the meeting of the board a
short time before, when the as
sessment of the steel trust prop
critics in Northern Minnesota
were reduced ST., 100000. This
reduction he fails to mention in
any Of his campaign speeches.
He also neglects to tell how this
Democratic board, for which he
loves to be sponsor, has increased
the assessed valuation of farm
lands in many of the counties of
the state; and how this same
board has greatly increased the
assessments of household furni-
ture. Why did, he permit the
board to reduce the assessment
OF iron properties from $1oo, ooo,-
600 to $I7o,ooo,ooo, and try to
hold up the state tax rolls by in
creasing the taxable valuation of
farm acres and household furni-
ture? Consultation with the
books Of the state board Of equali-
cation shows valuation of farm
lands was increased as follows:

Sole Aim of Johnsonism.

Johnson is a candidate for re-
election as governor for the sole
purpose of trying to save the
Democratic party in Minnesota.
One would not think that very
good campaign slogan to go be-
fore the Republican voters with,
for Johnson must get Republican
votes to win. It's up to Repub-
licans to stand for Republican

Pertinent Question for Voters.

Pertinent Question for Voters.
Has Gov. Johnson's Demo-
cratic state board of equalization

otherwise, by shouldering a great
load. of taxation on the farm

interests by reducing their as
sessed valuation Sill, 200, 900?
