series, and the Pennsylvania has won
it twice.
The way they run a series is for two
teams to play each other three times,
the winner of the subseries then plays
the winner of the other subseries, best
two out of three, and the winner of
the final game is the champion of the
series.
The third series started here on

as the Freddie Bassett Kiddos) beat the

An Unknown Quantity.

The Kam-California game is an I'M
known quantity. One thing is certain,
the Prune-Pickers will know that they
have been in game when they get
through. These young Hawaiians play
the keenest kind of ball and lack only
in coaching and experience to be the
champion team of the Islands.
"Spike' Higgins, the clever boxer
and all-round athlete, is captain of the
Prune-Pickers. He is there with the
big mitt, and is one of the classiest
eatchers in the feet. He handles his
team well, and the Hams will find that
they are up against no bushers. Vim

daear Showing the Vogue Wings and Feathers
WHITE LINENS LITTLE WORN.
Vogue Is All for CoIors and the Rea
son Is Apparent in the Designs
Shown.

The colored linens are taking the
lead this season instead of white. The
reason is not hard to find-the colors
that are modish now are of the love-
Hest tones to be found on the dyer's
card and they are brought out in the
linens to the best advantage.
There is an unusually large num-
Der of weaves among the flax tex
lures. The newest is the one that
initiates pongee with great faithful
ness, though without the gloss 1t
might be mistaken for handwoven lin
en-, which in the machine work of the
day is not far from equal to the old
hand-loom product.
The machine-woven textures in silk
and linen, with uneven threads, which
remind one of the hand-loom mate
rails, have lost the crude appearance
which the imitation fabrics of the
kind had not so long ago.
The skirts, plated below the tight
fitting princess hip yoke or cuirasses,
lend themselves well to the linens
Most of the embroidery on linens is
done in the color of the material
Heliotrope, Havana brown and khaki
are popular tones, though full range
of colors is shown for ones choos-
ing.
The coarse ribbed new linens are
made into suits with coats in host
of shapes. Some are open and great
deal cut away some are double
breasted with the long waistline at
the back which stamps it of this
years vintage, and all are trimmed
with buttons.
Old silver, pearl, some hand-carved,
and Jet continue to be used abundant
y. Wide embroideries and soutached
insets are among the much-used trim
mings.

For Those Who Press.

When you wish to press your dark
linen frock this summer do not trust
that a white ironing board will leave
no mark. You may easily cover the
board for a moment with some dark
material-an old skirt or bit of lin
ing-and when the frock is pressed
this may be removed and kept till the
next time.
You know the appearance of a dark
gown with splotches of white lint
upon it. 1t is to avoid just these that
the dark cover should be used. Also,
it is just as necessary to moisten the
dark linen with patch of its own ma
terial instead of white goods.

Stockyards to Be Beautified.

Unoccupied places in the Chicago
stockyards are to be made to bloom.
Instead of unattravtive lanes and
pens and roadways and great bare
buildings, the yards are to present
stretches of flower beds, with here
and there buildings surrounded with
shrubbery. The scheme originated
with j. Ogden Armour, and the first
fruits of his plan may be seen at the
general offices of Armour & Co.,
where bright flowers are in bloom all
around the buildings. The packers
hope that the visitors to the yards
will find comfort in the flowers and
shrubbery after they have listened to
the thousand and one grating noises
which fill the air at all hours of the
day.

WITH GIRDLES AND SASHES
Seasons Fashion Has Led to the Put
ting Out of Beautiful and
Novel Ribbons.

Gowns are nearly all to be worn
with girdles or sashes. Consequently
the shops have on display a beautiful
collection of novelty ribbons.
A new ribbon is made of a SILK
material called crepon, which is ike
a soft-finished rajah. 1t comes In
number of handsome Powered de-
signs and is an expensive ribbon to
be used with the fancy silk gowns.
Moire ribbon in light colors Will
form the sashes for many of the more
elaborate lightweight toilets. 1t
comes in many varieties, thus differ
Ing from the old watered-silk designs.
An exquisite pale pink sash worn
with a cream collie gown had flight
of butterflies embroidered on MORE
ground. Many of the silk moires in
troduce satin figures in dots or
stripes A pretty design seen in
number of shades showed a series
of satin bowknots on background OF
the silk MORE.
Oriental ribbons are conspicuous to
De eHplOyeu vi JuS ll6hI SiONA
dresses that introduce oriental EN-
broidery. One of the simpler rib
bons with the fashionable old gold
decoration was of taffeta silk with
large dots of gold gauze. The same
kind of ribbon came with the stripes
of taffeta and gold gauze alternating
The sash will be more of a novelty
than the girdle on the new gowns, but
of course, it can be used only on
dresses of a certain character. Be
careful that you tie the new ribbon in
the right way. The sash is brought
round the waist in rather wide, close
folds and tied at the back. 1t falls
a little more than halfway down the
skirt, the two ends being of about
equal length. The bow at the waist
is formed of two loops one over the
other, and has good-sized rosette at
the top.

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom Of US
ing Postum in place of coffee if one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
AT the time Postum was first put
on the market l was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally 1 decided to
take his advice and try Postum. l
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So continued it's use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its value, for l got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and l persuaded
him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and honest
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
ITO make long story short. our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, as shown in
our fine condition Of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected i'm
provement in brain and nerve power"
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use Of Postum in
place of coffee. sometimes in a very
marked manner. There's a Reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellviile."

Great quantities of soutache braid
ing is being used on the new lingerie
frocks this season. 1t looks particu'
larly we'll on linen, but is also used on
frocks of sheer material.
It is also done on net, and when this
is employed as trimming both net
and braiding are in the same tone as
the material.
Panels, yokes, and sleeves are of
soutached net; at times almost the
entire surface of the frock is elabora'
tely braided with it. Smart linen
frocks of light blue and pink, made
perfectly plain, have transparent yokes
and sleeves covered with rich design

French OFFICER Rival of Maxim.

Col Humbert, a retired officer of the
French artillery, has invented gun
silencer like that of Hiram Maxim,
as it employees the principle of muf-
fling the sound by combining the gases
of the explosion and allowing them to
escape gradually. Col. Humbert, how
ever, uses simple horizontal cells,
whereas the cells in Maxim's device
are arranged on the principle of the
gyroscope. Col. Humbert's silencer is
much heavier than Maxim's.

Trumpeting Ancient German Chorals.
The most noted ornament of the
town is the Rathhaus, which no artist
who visits Rothenburg fails to sketch.
1t is of most imposing beauty, con-
sisting of an older Gothic building, dat
ing back to the middle of the thir-
teenth century, with an elaborate
renaissance facade. 1t was from its
darkling dungeons that many of the
instruments of torture in the museum
at Nuremburg came, for Rothenburg
was not tender in it's treatment of
prisoners. The earlier building has
a high square tower crowned with a
bell cupola, where thrice week the
choir of st. Jakobs, reverend
church lying within it's shadow, pain
fully climbs, armed with trumpets and
other musical instruments. The
sweet Lutheran chorale is repeated
four times, as the musicians respec-
lively face the four points of the COM
pass, and the ceremony, so in keep
ing with the quaint, old-time life of
the town, is one of the visitors I'M
forgettable memories of Rothenburg.

INCREASE AS THEY TRAVEL.
Circumstance That Shows How Stories
Are Magnified in Their
Repetition.

England's recent fright over an i'm
agined airship from Germany is paral-
leled by the amazing tiger scare which
put central and south Wales in COM
motion about seven years ago. 1t
was reported that tiger had es-
capped from travelling menagerie at
Brecon. Mangled sheep were said to
mark its course across country to
Liandrindod Wells, some farmers lost
their dogs and on market days at
Builth, Brecon, Penybout andLlanmar-
rach the wild beast was the center
of rumor. Country schools were closed
because parents feared to let their
children go along the roads, and bands
of armed men sought to hunt the tiger
down.
This state of terror lasted week,
though no person was found wko had
actually seen the tiger, but only peo-
pie who "had heard that some one
else," and so forth. Then the truth
was hunted down, and the origin of
the whole affair discovered at the re-
mote hamlet of Eberedw. One night
the schoolmaster there, in dismissing
the children, playfully had warned
them not to loiter in going home lest
a tiger should get them.
The scared children accepted the
warning as real, and FASTENED home
with stories of savage beast lurking
behind hedges or growing in ravines.
And so the story grew, as stories do
under the culture of imagination.

seventeen years Of age. The partic-

stand, this: The young man was

animal was not quite dead and the

putting another charge Of shot into
it, took hold of the barrel Of his
gun and hit the animal in the head
The gun was discharged, the load

The trade territory of a town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the
enterprise of the merchants and res
idents of the town. If a town does
not reach out after trade it will
come only as fast as it has to and
will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go after business in
the surrounding country, advertis-
ing in every possible, and making
good every word of their advertising
trade will come from an increasing
radius. Fhe town will gain repu-

METHODIST THANKOFFERlNG.

The "thankoffering" session is the
great occasion Of the year in the
Methodist missionary society. Mrs.
w. H. Gold entertained and also
presided over the meeting. Her
usual coadjutor, Mrs. A. E. King,
is visiting in Chicago. The genial
host is also touring, but Mrs. Gold
as an hostess, is capable of large
und ertakings, and had invited al.
most the whole church. The rough
roads, we suppose, prevented the
country members from attending.
The program was as follows:
