This man Holmes is certainly an
egotistical person to say the least.
Through the medium of the Siux City
press he is telling how much he did
to secure a perpetual franchise in the
Western League for Topeka. This
sounds rather queer. Holmes has about
as much influence in the affairs of the
Western League as Senator La Toilette
has in the United States senate. What
did Ducky do to get that perpetual
franchise for Topeka?

self for securing a good schedule for
Topeka. Another tad guess. Sioux
City wouldn't have had a decent sche-
Gule in the Western League this season
had it not been for Cooley's fight at
the Lincoln meeting last winter. Cooley
secured for Holmes an equitable mile
age, and good dates. Without Cooley 5
help Holmes wouldn't have had any
kind of a schedule whatever. Next
season will see Cooley lined up with
the other contingent and Ducky will
have to fight his own battles. With the
vote Z to 1 against him how will
Holmes fare another season?

What Kind of Man is DR.. Corev ?

You have already made up your mind
about DR.. Paul Wakefield He went to Craw
louisville, Indiana, last June, to lecture on
Foreign Missions Carried pictures to illus
trate his address. Went under the auspices
of the Board. (By the way what passage
OF Scripture authorizes these expensive and
tyrannical "Boards"?)
DR.. Paul Wakefield is young man. Con-
sequently, he has the usual amount of youth
full vanity. Therefore, he sent for the report
er of one of the daily papers of Crawfords-
vile Mr. Charles Bowers, of the Journal,
and loaded him up with the lecture, in ad-
vance of it's delivery. The reporter declares
that he not only did not exaggerate what
Wakefield told him, but that he had to omit
some things, because they were ''to obscene to
print.
This reporter got the gist of the lecture,
previous to the lecture, from Wakefield him
self, at his lodgings. The other Crawfords-
vile paper, the Revieac, did not obtain it's re-
port of the lecture until after Wakefield had
delivered it. The wife of the minister of the
Christian Church talked over the telephone to
Mr. Clifford Peterson, reporter of the Re-
vieaO, and gave him the main points of the
lecture Wakefield had delivered it in that
Church, and the lady, Mrs. Mansell had
heard it.

Gore, of Oklahoma, gave the report which
the New England manufacturers make to the
States In which they are located, and these
figures disclose tremendous profts.-some as
high as 60 per cent
In September, 1907, we applied to a gentle
man IN Augusta, Ga, who was SO situated
that ne could secure us the actual data from
inside sources For obvious reasons we can
not give him away" but we quote his letter:
The nearest information that can get from an in
telgent source is that 5OOpound bale of cotton will
make about 5000 yards of calico At the present price
OF cotton 1T will COST including what is paid for the
raw cotton, $lO250 to manufacture the bale into cloth
In the case of domestic export goods learn that
cotton bought at IL IL cents made into cloth increases
the cost to about $l772 though it sells for about 20
cents, which shows profit of IA cents per pound
which, at three yards to the pound is about three
fourths OF a cent per yard profit"
These domestic, or export, goods are heavy.
The spinner makes less profit on them than
on Calico But he clears three fourths of a
cent on 800 yards g yards to the pound of
raw cotton), and therefore nets $11.25 on
each bale of raw cotton Even this is more
than the grover clears, and is large per cent.
on the capital invested in the mill
But when you come to calico, the spinner
enjoys picnic Glance again at the ex-
tract from the letter, and you will see that
the Augusta manufacturer buys the bale
OF cotton and manufactures it into 5000
yards of calico, at q cost Of very little more
than $780, For the 5000 yards of calico YOU
pay at the stores anywhere from $3.50 to 1910
just how much the wholesale merchant gives
the factory for it, we are unable to saw, but
allowing for very wide difference between
wholesale and retail figures, it is apparent
that the manufactures clears profit, on the
bale, at least equal to the qohoze anoupt that
the groaoer receives for the raao staple
1t the farmer made $40 per bale net profit,
after deducting expenses of every kind, he
would, perhaps, be doing as we'll as average
farmers have ever done. Sometimes, they
make nothing at all.
/ 1t seems queer condition of affairs when
the President goes around backing up, with
lall the power of his official and personal in
fiuence, condition of things which allows
}he man who spins the cotton to reap prac-
ideally all the profit out of it.
7. S.-Speculation is booming the price at
present, but you will see the price of calico
and other cotton fabrics advance, also

wonderful lack of gentle breeding and good
manners. Or. August Bach Chinese mis-
sionary of twelve years experience, has made

How can Dr. Corey be so sure about what
being present?
Has he taken pains to write to ANYBODY at
Charlottesville? Has he telegraphed to eth
er of the papers there? Has he inquired of
the Rev. Mr. Mansell, or of Mrs. Mansell?
When the question of veracity was sprung,
| at once felt it to be duty that I owed to
my readers to write to Charlottesville for
eoidence In that way, I got it.
What did Dr. Corey do? He contented
himself with coercing this poor creature,
Wakefield, Having done that, he supercil-
iously demands that the case be closed.
You are asked to give verdict in favor of
of Paul Wakefield. You are asked to find
that Mr.. Charles Bowers is a fagitious liar;
that the minister's wife lied outrageously on
her Church's guest; that no friend of Wake
field and no friend of the 'cause". felt sufi-
Gent interest in the truth to correct the false
reports in the papers; and that Wakefield
himself, after having gone to the trouble to
send for the reporter, did not care enough
about the matter to even glance at those big
headlines.

No. And they will not Hare they ever

that they don't realize the necessity for evil

has for accuracy, will quote the last line

Yet, the two different papers, deriving
their information from these two different
sources, published substantially the same re-

And after these two papers came out, with
great big "scare" headlines, in which the most
sensational statements made in the lecture
were indicated, nobody "kicked" on the re-

Dr. Wakefield did not complain to Bowers
Mrs. Mansell did not complain to Peterson
Nor did any member of the audience, which

There cam be no other explanation of the

REVIVAL OF GOLD SLIPPERS.
Fascinating Footgar Just Now I'm
mensely Popular.

In with all the other brilliant fas-
cinating footgear the gold slipper 10
revived. This is made of gold satin,
cloth of gold, but especially of gilt.
This is the name that it has always
gone by and there are bottles of the
liquid sold to touch up the slipper
whenever it becomes faded.
According to the new fashion it is
not necessary to wear stockings to
match these slippers. Instead, they
match the costume. These gold slip
pers do not look well with anything
except black gown. white one, and
these in pastel shades. With all of
them the stockings are of the same
color as the skirts.
AS bronze slippers are back in fash
ion, the old-fashioned bronze liquid is
sold to keep them in luster. These are
very pretty and they are worn with
stockings to match. One should be
careful that these stockings do match,
for when they are of another shade OF
brown they are quite ugly. Shops now
have a genuine bronze silk stocking,
which they sell for the slipper

VOGUE IN SEASONS COATS.
Are Slightly Narrower Than Those OF
Last. Winter.

The coat is slightly narrower than
those of last winter across the Shout
ders at back. The fronts are double
breasted, fastened with huge buttons
of brilliants set in a composition like
platinum.
The revers, which are quite broad,
are made of old blue satin, that very
good looking tone that comes in so
many fabrics. These are slightly EN-
broidered with heavy silver thread
forming bees. The long sleeves are
without fullness, each fastened tightly
at wrist with a button of brilliants,
and finished with frill of old lace.
The blouse that rises above this
high-waisted skirt is built of gray filet
tulle in the coarse round mesh that is
fashionable. 1t is draped over thin
silver gauze, and shows round
guimpe and stock Of Mechlin lace. It's
sleeves are long and tight, made OF
tulle wrapped around the arm.
Here and there ar embroidered sill
yer bands, and there is one large one
where the bodice tucks under the
skirt of center front.

Makes Fine Sofa Pillows.

If one has an oldfashioned coverlet
in rich blue and white. such as our
grandmothers used on their beds, they
can be made over into charming silk
sofa pillows.
While few women would be willing
to cut up good spread for this pur-
pose, it is happy solution for the
coverlet that is worn in places.
Not only do they make attractive
pillow slips, but If they are made to
button on they can be laundered re-
peatedly and will wear for years.
There are now to be found manr
cheap modern spreads in imitation of
the old-time quilts. These one Med
