PILLOW MnfY. Scnrf and Tie.

There are so many materials from
which scarfs and muffs can be made
this year that such a suggestion as
this one has peculiarly practical value
at this time. Not alone is it easy to
remodel the furs of last season, there
are also a great many fur cloths be-
ing used for accessories of the sort,
while again they are very charming
and attractive made from velvet and
lace and chiffon trimmed. These de-
signs are among the simplest as we'll
as the best, and involve no difficulties
whatsoever in the making yet are ex-
ceedingly smart in effect. The muff
is of the big, roomy, pillow sort that
is so thoroughly comfortable and that
can be drawn up by means of the
ribbons or left plain, as liked. The
scarf is long and comfortable, while
the little tie fits about the throat in
an exceedingly chic manner. In this
instance the muff and the scarf are
made of black lynx fur, while the tie
and the second muff are made Of
broadtail plush.
The scarf and the tie are each
made in two pieces, Joined at the
back, and are designed to be lined
with silk and interlined with soft
wadding. The muff is made in one

with the long regulation sleeves IL
Illustrated or with three-quarter ones

The lines given by the pleats at the

with the latest demands of fashion.
The waist is made with fronts and

side thereof, and the pleats at the
shoulders are laid after the seams are
closed. There is patch pocket that

SHEEP PROFITABLE.

Professor F. B. Mumford, of the
Missouri Station, in giving sum-
mary of the work done in feeding
sheep, showed that sheep produced
more meat from pound of grain
than any other farm animal. 1t was
shown that pound of mutton can be
produced from about half as much
grain as a pound of beef. Even the
mortgage-lifting hog requires more
grain to produce pound of human
food than the sheep. with the COM
bination of corn and clover hay for
food, and dry shed for shelter, sheep
will always give good account of
themselves and respond readily to the
care given them.-Weekly Witness.

HAEGHTY GIRLS NOT POPULAR.
Some really pretty girls are so fool
fish because they will persist in "hid-
ing their light under bushel," or, in
other words, slowing away their
charms under cover of ridiculously
naughty manner. When any one ad-
dresses girl of this type she imme-
diately raises her eyebrows, shrugs
her shoulders and replies languidly:
"Oh, do you think SO? l don't
agree at all"
Somehow you don't feel like talk
ing to her any more, and you make
an excuse and get away. Yet, strange
to say, she still continues in the same
fashion until one by one, her ac-
quaintances drop away from her.
That girl doesn't seem to understand
that 1t is her manner which is causing
her the loss of her best friends. Az

girl, who corquers in this world of
ours, who is always ready with a

you can confide your most treasured
secrets, being sure of receiving a

NEW YORK STOCK

speculative excitement in the STOCK market
and of violent and erratic price nutua.lohs LIONS
The bull movement started on its way pros
perously and reacned new high stage of
prices for the year with great animation and
buoyancy In the dealings. At the accelerated
pace of the advance the movement overran
itself to some extent and paid the penalty In
sharp setback.
The market was the largest in volume of the
present year. the number Of shares which
changed hands rising to million before /
O'Clock. Extensive covering by shorts has
been recognized factor in the latter stages
Of the rise. The distress of the short inter-
est in American Smelling and National Lead
became so acute in the course Of the day and
desperation to punish them seemed ruth
less that the speculative temperament became
discomposed and heavy unloading of several
large accounts precipitated.
The buyers chance TO regain adj
vantage and raided prices downward in a
quest for stop loss orders. The two Guggen-
helm stocks were conspicuous fea atures from
the outset by reason Of the late bulge yester-
day When ~ points had been added to
yesterdays 81 points gain in American Smelt-
Ing and jumps of full point between sales
were made the market took alarm. Con-
siderable disorder resulted from this episode
in the market. The increased volume of
transactions represented substantial broad
eD:ng of the participation although concen-
trated buying from a few houses has been a
feature throughout the movement.
There was notable increase in the at
tendance on the floor of the stock exchange
absences to share in the dealings.

cash holdings of the banks The subtreasury

Of the week are mainly favorable. The first
of the fall merchants excursions are re-

sales by jobbers and wholesalers. Industrial
reports are generally of increased time run
or enlarged outputs and the leading crops
have approached a week nearer harvest
There are, however, some features accom-

There are statements from quite few mar
