NEW YORK, April The day of he

So exclaimed a French man dressmaker
noted OF late for his success in making
women look pretty. even when they lacked
good features.
Formerly the styles were created for
the one woman in a thousand-the beautiful

specially made for the ugly one.
Dressed In one OF the new gowns one
can scarcely tell whether a woman is a
beauty or not. She Is smart, chic and so
novel that IL her coloring is good she
passes for a beauty. AS for her actual
features and figure they are so thoroughly
disguised by fashion that II never occures
TO the beholder to pass judgment upon
them. "a
The ugly woman to be beautiful must
be expuisltely gromed. Her hair must be
done in no uncertain fashion and her gown
be exquisitely groomed. Her hair must be

II had an, ugly featured girl apply Ia

badly treated by nature. Her front teeth

A certain shepherd boy was keep

sang go loudly that the surrounding
hills echoed back his song. One morn

spoke to him and asld: "Why are you
so happy. my boy?'
"Why should / not be happy?"
answered the boy. "Our king is not
richer than IL
Indeed" said the king, "pray
tell me of your great possessions.
The shepherd boy answered: 1.-THE

ust Schoe ebert was born Dec. a, 1928,
in kreiss Sternberg in Warthebruch,
Province Brand enburg. Germany. He
came to the United States in 1857 at
the age of 20 and purchased farm
half q mile from Johnson Creek. In
the following year he married Miss
Caroline Stiehm and from their union
came one son. who in 1894, at the age
of 80 years, died in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, of consumption. After
thirty years of HARD work on the farm
he retired in 1887 and lived since that
time in his home on Milwaukee street
where he passed into the beyond on
Friday afternoon at o'clock. Short
ly after Christmas last year he and
Mrs. Schoechert celebrated their
golden wedding anniv ersary. He was
never in his life seriously ill, but
always Of robust health, but his age
became apparent during the last few
months. Last Thursday he went to
bed and the end came the next day.
At the time of his death he was 80
years and 6 months old. Besides his
aged wife he leaves an adopted
daughter. three grand children, and

RIVERVIEW. EXPOSITION's match
less attraction is THE Creation" This
stupendous scenic spectacle, animated
by Biblical characters of the Garden Of
Eden, is destined to attract worldwide
attention. 1t is the product of the
genius Of e. w. Mcconnell builder of
several worlds fairs, and his staff of
a hundred artists.
The scene is the Valley OF the Eu-
pirates, where tradition locates Eden.
AWed spectators view as near to it's re-
production as man may conceive. The
great religious drama closely follows
the Scripture.
There is first void then darkness,
dawn and light; separation of the sky,
the earth and the waters; the beginning
of life in the air and the waters, birds
and fishes, creeping and crawling things,
celestial anthems of unseen spirit bands +;
the creation of Adam and Eve, their
temptation, transgression and expulsion
by Angel Gabriel, who drives them forth
with a flaming sword"
A great $4,000 pipe organ fntones ap-
propriate music. It's deep tubes produce
thunder, and its flute-like notes the
mimcry of forest small life. Flashes
of lightning and angry storms are made
by electrical and water effects. Space
forbids an adequate description of this
magnificent spectacle.
Another great novelty is 1.-THE Races"
an English panorama. Fifty horses at
tached to chaises raise over the high
way to Coventry.

TO young rEngelmann, who is in the
last stages of consumption and living

in their hone. If he is to remain in
the tent, the city should provide him

almost heathenish to leave him alone.
