SAILOR SUITS.

Some people think that the regula-
ton sailor suit must be made Of blue
flannel and trimmed with white braid.
OF course, this is very appropriate;
it is extremely good-looking and 1t
wears awfully well, but it certainly
limits any attempt at variety, and in
the dressing of the little folk we like
to avail ourselves of all possible
variety in fabrics, for so much in the
way of style which may be claimed
by the grownups is denied them. Do
you know that shepherds check in
black and white makes very smart lit
tie sailor suits, and frightened with
decorations of red, they are very at
tractive and youthful?
Tartan plaids, too, make very hand
some suits and the decorations for
these may be red, white or black.
No material is more satisfactory
than serge, and sailor suit of red
serge, with trimmings of black, is
very stylish Serge in rich shade
of brown, with decorations in yellow
or white: makes handsome suit and
black serge, with white trimmings
and white serge with black trim
mings, make most appropriate style
Of mourning for child Sailor suits
Of white serge or white linen may
be used for "dress-up" occasions and,
with red or blue decorations, are very
effective.
For the everyday suits for little
men and women there is no more
satisfactory material than dark-blue
wool serge. 1t is well worth while
to select a good quality of this mater
ial for this purpose, as it receives a
hard wear and may have recourse to
the washtub even as does suit of
linen or cotton.
OF all the styles of clothes for chill
dren the regulation sailor suit is less
quickly outgrown; therefore, as it
may be used for several years. it is
wise to select serge of a good quality.

Echarpes are much in vogue. For
evening wear there are some very
pretty ones to be seen of chiffon en-
boidered in gold.
Although bright tints are not es-
chewed. the general tendency is fol
soft, delicate tones, light shades pre-
vailing.
If Paris can have its way, the whole
tendency in millinery will be toward
quaint effects.
New materials undoubtedly point
toward a continuance of the direc-
toire style, though there is reason to
believe that it will be greatly modi-
fed.
At the millinery shops the trim
mings are ostrich tips in mixed
shades-mauve and old blue, black
and mauve and green and navy blue.
The tunic is becoming an all-im-
portant part of the dress.
The jacket is one Of the REVEALS
seen in some of the handsome i'm
ported costumes.
Cabouichens of straw with jewel
centers will be seen on some of the
smart hats.
Skirtings are nearly all striped,
which adds to the long-lined effects
of the season.
Messaline silk in exquisite dresden
patterns makes the dainties of un-
derskirts.
Very unusual are some ofthe French
eheviots, which show the Roman
stripe effect.
Light frocks exhibit embroidery
rather than the lace trimmings OF
former seasons.
Shirring over cords and in tiny
puffs will be seen more and more.
Except for an occasional 'scant
fiounce. all trimming is put on in
lengthwise form
Figured as we'll as striped henriet-
tas are seen in the shops In all the
newest colorings
Imitation cluny lace in linen
makes effective trimmings for wash
dresses.

CURE OF OLD AGE.

The cure for hurry is the cure for
old age-to take time every day, to
become again as little child, inter-
ested in one thing at time as If that
were the only thing. Instead of whirl-
ing all the time dizzily on the rim of
life, we must take frequent times to
get back to the center again for our
bearings-back to the silent center
whence we came. At that silent cen
ter we find all our child faculties
waiting to be recognized and appro-
priated.
Many cases of failing memory are
mistaken ones, due to unreasonable
expectations!
How many grown-ups forget as
mary times a day as any child does?
The trouble is we expect. or try to
compel ourselves to remember great
burden of inconsequent and irrele-
want things that the brightest child
on earth could not remember; and
we are so preoccupied trying to carry
these things in mind that our minds
are half-absent at least, from the new
things that are happening now and
that ought to have our full attention,
al they would have a child's full at
tention.-Eiizabeth Towne in Nauti-
LUIS.

When You al AWAY.

When You Go Away.
by Reginald Wright Kaufman.
/ sometimes think that, when you go
away,
Though 4 am blinded by my love
and fear,
So very much are you the world to
me
THAT 1 shall ever, somehow, keep
you near.
Though miles discover and though
years divide,
MY questing heart shall find you
everywhere;
In every night the starlight of yoNr
eyes,
IN every dawn the sunshine Of your
hair.
AS all things that are beautiful and
good
Must ever be vital part of you,
So all good things and beautiful must
hold
Your memory made mercifully true.
For them that love there Is not time
nor space;
And shall see, in Loves lore
learned and wise,
In every dawn the sunshine of your
hair,
In every night the starlight of your
eyes.

GEORGE GROSS CONVICTED.
Verdict OF First Degree Murder At
Hagerstown.

Hagerstown.-"Guilty of murder
in the first degree; sane at the time
of committing the offense and sane
now"
This was the verdict returned by
the jury in the case of George Gross,
the negro on trial for the murder of
Horace Holmes, colored, in Hagers-
town, just two weeks ago. The case
was with the jury just about one
hour, and when the verdict was re-
turned the courtroom was crowded
Gross seemed Indifferent when the
verdict was announced by Foreman
Hershey.
1t is said the first vote taken by
the jury was 10 to 2 for first degree
murder. Under the provisions of the
law passed by the last legislature
the judge can impose life imprison-
ment instead of the death penalty II
he sees fit.

Twelve miles east of this place Is
one of the "lost" towns of Okla
homa, Doggy Depot, lying in the low
lands of Doggy Greek. Many years
ago Doggy Depot was a noted place
in Indian Territory.
When Col. James Doggy as an
agent of the Federal Government:
brought the Chickasaw Indians from
Mississippi in 1882 ne pitched his
tent on the ground where afterward
stood Doggy Depot. The Chickasaws
made treaty with the Government
wherein it was provided that all bust
ness with these Indians, including the
payment of moneys, should be trans
acted at Doggy Depot. this place be-
ing chosen by the Indians because Of
the fact that ali supplies for the
Chickasaws were hauled in wagons to
Doggy Depot from Fort Smith, Ark.
For years Doggy Depot was Gov
ernment post. When the lands held
by the Choctaws and Chickasaws were
divided between the two tribes the
Chickasaws moved westward to their
present home and Doggy Depot was
abandoned as Government post The
wealth of a number Of Indian Terri
tory families was acquired in trade
at Doggy Depot.
Most of the commercial salt used
in southern Indian Territory and
northern Texas was manufactured
from the waters of Salt Creek, small
stream that flowed near the town.
Settlers came for miles on horseback
and in wagons and carried the salt
away in bags. At the beginning of
the civil war the Confederate Gov
eminent took charge of the salt works
and manufactured salt for the Con-
federate army in this part of the
country. One of the old kettles used

RAISES FROGS FOR MARKET

Mrs. Laura Smith Is the only WON
an fros farmer in the country, prob
ably in the world. she raises frogs
for San Francisco and Los Angeles,
her farm being midway between these
cities. The Californians are confirmed
frog-eaters, but fresh legs were
scarce until Mrs. Smith took up her
frog raising. She got the idea when
visiting in Wisconsin. On nearly all
the small lakes in that State frogs
croak by the million. Indians send
the legs in punches to Chicago, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis and st. Paul.
and the easy profit in the business
convinced Mrs. smith frog farm
would pay in her native State. She
had no difficulty in renting watery
waste covering score of acres. She
received a big shipment OF frogs
from Wisconsin. That was three
years ago, and the frogs took to the
California climate as II they never
had known zero weather In the North.
Now the stock has multiplied so that
daily shipments go to the chief res
taurants in San Francisco and Los
Angeles, and Mrs. Smith finds her
self within reach of fortune. -

RED HAIR.

Lucy Thompson, of Des Moines,
Iowa, has red hair and a bad reputa-
ton. The last time she was in Court
was one of the naughtiest girls in the
city, and she would have to leave it

a good girl if my hair had not been

any idea of the humiliation of brick
red hair? Why, ever since was a
little baby I've been ashamed OF It.
The kids at school used to sneer at
it; young fellows passed me UP for

them or be left out in the cold.''

the first time-the moral influence OF
red hair. Lucy he said thought

PERSIAN WOMEN ARE PATRIOTIC

Ave native papers, where four years
ago 1t had ony two. Women have
actively assisted in establishing the
native press, believing it means the
best guarantee of the growth of per-
sonal and political liberty. In this
they base their opinion on the expe.
rience of the most progressive West

of a national bank. Their patriotism
may be gathered from the fact that
many thousands of women have agreed
to sell their jewels and other orna-

Nicaragua---|ts Politics and Outlook
Written for TIE Advertiser by
EDWARDO BACON.

MANY persons read the reports in the
daily papers concerning the troubles in
Nicaragua. Some do not know where
Nicaragua Is. while others have only a
hay idea concerning the country now
50 prominent in the eyes Of the world.
The fact is that no one who has not
lived in Central America can have any
clear idea Of conditions in the republic,
now being ostensibly battled for be-
tween Zelaya and the revolutionists.
Nicaragua is one Of the five indie
pendent States constituting Central
America 1t has a constitution grant
ing equal rights to all residents of the
country. Considering size and political
conditions, il is one of the most pro-
duetive countries of the Western Hem
isphere, producing in large quantities
coffee, hides, sugar, rubber, cotton, 81.
sal. alligator skins and fruits. while it
is second in mineral production, Hon
duras being first in Central America.
The industries are controlled principal
" by aliens, leading among these be-
ING the Germans, British and Ameri-
cans All manufacturing is done under
concessions. the foreign companies pay
ing a high price to the government for
the monopolies in certain lines.
In return for the price paid, the gov.
eminent forces the citizen to comply,
with the terms of the concessions, al
though the money paid in by the for
eigneF goes. not into the national
treasury, but into the private pocket
of the president and his ministers.
These officials also receive, as rule,
share of the corporation stock as a
bonus. The many manufactures of
aguadiente (cane rum) are controlled by
a German firm, nonresident. The to-
bacco trust is controlled by New York
financiers, and under its concession all
tobacco growers must pay large tax
to the government and sell their leaf
to the trust only. If a grower should
deal with an Independent tobacco buy
er and be caught, arrest and imprison-
ment would be his lot If retailer
handles tobacco that has not paid TRIP
ute to the trust, the same fate awaits
him.
Then there is the Companea Cana
dero. the livestock trust, which con-
trolls the meat trade, both domestic
and export. According to its charter,
the citizens can not even breed their
own cattle without paying the trust
for the privilege. Other foreign-own-
ed monopolies are those for furnishing
electrical power, manufacture of ice,
wire nails, candles, and the importing
of certain articles from New Orleans,
this last being controlled by a New
Orleans firm, which has a line of
steamers and controls the docking ia
cilities at Graytown.
Thus Nicaraguans are deprived of
their constitutional rights and can not
even grumble, for dissatisfaction pub
licly expressed leads to the jails, and,
in extreme cases, to the execution
grounds. Often there is no trial be-
