MAN WITH CAMERA EYES.
Detective Sheridan Of New York Can
Name 10000 Men. y

What would yoti say Of gentleman,
who, having looked once into the face
of each of those soldiers that made up
the grand army which Napoleon took
to Russia, and being told the soldiers
name, would know him, name and
face, two years, ten years, twenty
years later? Think of gentleman
who could thus have called the mus
ter roll of an army of 100000 men.
Such, however, would seem to be the
fell power of eye and memory which
belongs to Detective William p. Sher-
idan Of Mulberry street, the Man with
the Camera Eyes" and low estimate
declares that he has filed away in his
brain, each tagged with the proper
name, the pictures of no fewer than
100000 men.

Flowers Much Worn.

Flowers are more the rage than
ever, whether real or artificial, and
they are worn in lunches on the
blouse or tucked in the buttonhole OF
the jacket. OF course, now that Dame
Fashion has decreed that one may
wear silken flowers as we'll as those
created by Mother Nature, 1t is not
particularly expensive to keep on
hand a stock of orchids, gardenias,
azaleas and poinsettias, and these are
the ones that are most popular. When
natural flowers can be worn they are,
of course, preferable, but the imita-
tions are now so perfect that very lit
tie difference can be noticed unless
the delicious fragrance is missed, This
is sometimes supplied by good per-
fume. Strange to say, this spring
many women are wearing autumn
leaves instead of flowers. which really
does seem slightly out of season.

sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then 1 began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting quantity of Cuticura

METHODS OF CLEANING STRAW.

Thing to Accomplish.

she knows the cleaning trick.
To clean white Milan or a split
straw, scrub with toothbrush or nail
brush dipped in weak solution of
oxalic acid and water, then with clean
water, not wetting more than neces-
sary. Then scatter precipitate of sui
phur and lay in the sun. Brush off
with clean brush when dry and your
hat will be clean and white. A black

piece of velvet. Faded hats can be
tinted with a dye made of oil paints
and gasoline.
The only remedy for chip hats that
are sunburned or faded is to give them

KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION
Hint for the Woman Who Would
Appear Well Groomed.

The woman who always looks well
dressed and well groomed, although
her pin money is but half Of yours, is
the one who never let's her clothes
wear out.
When she discards any garment 1t
shows no unsightly rents and tears
or any spots and stains; 1t simply is
worn too thin for further use. She
mends the instant q need appears.
Mending is lost art nowadays.
There are few women who can mend
intelligently. This perfectly groomed
woman, however, keeps threaded
needles in her pin cushion, where they
will be ready for instant use. A rip
or split in her glove is mended as soon
as 1t appears and the braid of her
skirt is mended before she catches
her heel in it, endangering her life or
at least her bones.
The braid that is beginning to fray
is ripped off and turned, or replaced
with new. The little jagged tear,
where she caught her skirt on nail

Be Happy.

Be happy! Be happy in spite Of
everything When a person is not
happy he is a failure in life. To
be happy is to be normal, and the
normal people are those who come out
on top in the long run. Nature and
human nature detest abnormal things,
and unhappy people are certainly ab-
normal people. Happiness is two
things-a good habit and a spiritual
state.

DEMAND FOR POCKETS.

1T is remarkable how women are
leaning toward masculinity in the mat
ter of pockets" said salesman in a
local department store. THE demand
at present is SO great that now in al
most every garment intended for wom-
en- one or more pockets are to be found.
In latest hosiery pockets are woven
in the stockings when they are made.
The newest Of knitted silk shirts are
also equipped with pockets in the gar
ment. The fashionable boas and muffs
invariably contain more than one Sc
curely hidden and fastened pockets.
Even enterprising milliners are max
ing tiny pockets in the tops of their
most expensive hats. These pockets,
which of necessity are very small, are
completely hidden under the lining of
the hat. The newest gauntlet glove is
provided with two pockets stitched on
the outside.

BELTS WITH TAsSEL.

Most Of the new high belts are fin
ished in one long end with a tassel.
This idea is carried out even in morn
ing dresses, wolfe or pongee, and is
becoming to the average figure, par
ticularly as the new semi princess
dress is SO much the rage. The belt at
present is not fastened directly around
the wistline, but slightly above it to
give the skirt a very long line in
front and on the sides.
Some dresses of light materials are
finished in front directly below the
guimpe in large bow of the material.
This is not unattractive for very slim
figures, for it adds several inches to
the bust measure. There will be, ow-
ing to the present increasing popular
ity Of the guimpe waist decided lean
ing toward the very low line of the
corsage, for it is becoming to every
woman.

G. O. P. DIVIDED IN CAROLINA

Columbia, S. c., April 2S.-About 125
delegates, the great majority of them
negroes, assembled here today for the
state convention of the Union republic
can party of South Carolina. The con-
vention is to name delegates at-large
and alternates to go to Chicago.
Chairman Edmund H. Deas of the
state committee is an anti-administra-
ton man and is supposed to favor For
aker or Hughes delegation and is be-
lieved to be willing to go as far as
supporting a resolution condemning
President Roosevelt for the Browns
willie affair The influence of Captain
John G. Capers, United States commits
sioner of internal revenue and repub-
Ifcan national committeeman from
South Carolina, is expected, however,
to prevail against any attempt on the
part of the convention to condemn the
president There is also considerable
faction among the negroes who are
opposed to Deas and in favor of indors-
ing Secretary Taft. 1t is possible that
a. compromise will be reached by send
ing an uninstructed delegation to the
national convention.
