The Newer Way.

Many ideas in regard to women
have entirely changed, and among
the better and wiser changes Is that
old thought that the women who
were given to good works must needs
be dowdy. 1t is undeniable that
good" women used to wear dowdi-
ness as sort of hall mark Of vir-
tue. AS matter of fact. dowdiness
is merely mark Of bad taste and a
sign of some lack In the mind. Wom-

dom that chooses pretty rather than
ugly clothing. and those who do not
make the best of their appearance are
losing golden opportunity OF giving

a right TO the jaw that knocked Attei
cold. He was picked up by his sec

permit, and in the seventh round
showed marvellous generalship in
warding off Reagan. With more ex-
perience the Oakland boy would have
knocked out his opponent Three

the completion of almost every one

of the percentage column and had
only to win the game last evening 10
clinch his hold on that place. This
can still be done if he wins from

Expert Gives Exhibition.
An exhibition in the art of pool and
billiard playing is to take place at the
Bijou cigar store this evening, Profes-
sor Blodgett of Chicago having been
secured some time ago. Blodgett
claims to be the father of them all
when it comes to making the billiard
balls do fancy stunts, and some of his
tricks seem to defy the laws of gravi-
ty and several other well established
laws. Along with the exhibition and
lecture which he gives, he makes the
offer to play anyone at billiards, al
which game he is to make 100 points
each inning or else not count what he
does make, and at pool he will play II
or no count. 1t is very probable that
some of the local billiard players will
take him up inst to see what he can
do at straight billiards. and he may
also have an opponent for pool game
