The Goodyear Lumber company is
about to establish new lumber town on
Potato creek, IL miles from Smeethport,
Mckeen county. The company intends
to cut out what Is probably the largest
tract of virgin timber in the state, and
which includes approximately, 10000
acres Of timberland In Mex cen, Cameron,
and Elk counties. 1t has been for years
sportman's paradise, bear, deer and
smaller game and trout abounding In
what have been truly primitive con-
ditions. The Buffalo q Susquehsnns is
extending branch of its road to the pro-
posed new settlement and hundreds OF
men are to be employed in the woods at
once. 1t Is estimated that II will require
ten years to cut out the standing timber
in sight.
No man of any character or standing,
or who hopes to enjoy comfortable life
with his neighbors, can afford to pay any
attention to seeming sights put upon
him by his fellowmen. In many cases
apparent sights are the result OF
thoughtlessness, not premeditation.
Sometimes they are the result of neces-
sity. They always hurt more seriously
the person who deliberately plans them
than they do the person upon whom they
are imposed. Don't pick up every little
neglect as slight. Such may annoy you
for while, but cast them out of your
thought by giving place to something
larger and better. Ifyou entertain these
apparent sights you will be sure to sour
your disposition, cultivate a small aud
mean view OF lite. and become a chronic
grumbler and sychophantic parasite.
Howard Shswkey, son OF Attorney
G. M. Shawkey, was taken suddenly i'll
Tuesday afternoon at about $40 o'clock.
He was in his fathers office in the Saw
ings Bank building when he was taken
with cramps in the stomach which rem
dered him almost helpless. His grit and
determination, however, held out and he
reached his home on the South Side with
out assistance. Throughout the night he
was very i'll and continued to grow worse.
The attending physicians were not able
to determine the cause ofthe sickness and
Wednesday 1t was decided that an opera
tion was necessary. Howard went to the
Emergency Hospital, still possessing his
unusual nerve and submitted to the oper-
alton. 1t was found that the cause of the
trouble was adhesion of the intestines, a
portion of which were removed. He
stood the ope ration very we'll and at the
time of going to press is doing nicely.
The operation was very serious one and
Howard's friends are pleased to learn that
he stood it 80 well.-Warren Mirror.

Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only

The secret of success in modest en-

bread, thinly buttered and spread with
layer of orange marmalade and
grated cream cheese are not costly,
but they are both novel and delicious.
Another delicious sandwich can be
made from oblong pieces of rye bread

Attractive Couture Band.

A pretty homemade coiffure band
seen at a recent dance was fashioned
of gold gauze, twisted around two
bands OF milliners wire and finished
on the left side with two small gold
roses just coming into bloom. and half
a dozen very fine trailing leaves. The
heavy gold roses are very trying in the
hair. Another ornament was finished
with gauze and white tulle rosettes and
. third glittering effect was secured by
weaving half-wreath of artificial
wheat, such as you see mixed with pop.
pies and corn flowers on summer hats.
Then the wreath was gilded.

HIGH WAIsTLINE WITH A SASH.
Fashion That Has Sprung Into High
Favor in Paris.

There is very pretty phase of the
high waistline dress that has caught
on remarkably quickly in Paris. The
back and side cores of the skirt are
cut off at the Empire waistline, but the
front gore and the entire front of the
bodice are cut in one. saw the dress
In white broadcloth, with chemisette
of silver craquele net. The neck of the
waist was cut out in large scallops, and
embroidered in tremendously heavy
design done in silver and lapis-lazuli
blue. Aside from the trimming, the
waist was very simple-an inch-wide
tuck on each shoulder at the arm-hole
and a few narrower tucks in the
sleeves. The high waist-line was de.
fined by sash of silver, ending in
heavy silver fringe. Worn under arti-
fetal light, the dress was really very
beautiful.-The Delineator.

WHITE YoKEs IN STYLE.
Wel-Dressed Women Are Showing
Distinct Preference for Them.

There is a distinct return on the
part of well-dressed women to small
yokes of white lace in colosed gowns
rather than those of filet net.
When there are sleeves as we'll as a
yoke of the transparent material 1t
may be as we'll to retain them, but If
only a yoke is used white lace should
be chosen.
There is no return to- the wide yoke
of any kind that reaches across shoul'
ders. The cloth must come up from
the waist in straight line to within
two inches at most of the base of the
neck.
The shallow square, or round yoke
is the kind used, and it is made OF
point applique. Brussels, baby Irish or
German valenciennes.
In dressy frocks lace is used for the
tight sleeves as well as for the yoke.
and in frocks of soft cloth or heavy
stuffs the sleeves are of the material
quite long and plain.
