MATTER OF CLOTHES.

Dress has a great deal to do with
the spirit and sentiment of a person,
and he wants his dress TO cultivate
the right spirit. He can raise or lower
himself according to the character of
the clothes he wears. One feels the
effect of his clothes. II he attends
some function in clothes not fitted 10
the occasion he does not enjoy 1t,
Clothes seem to be very superficial
matter. but they enter. very much into
character-making. Put a hat on boy
that is banged, upturned, rakish and
rowdy-looking, and by some sort of an
osmosis these qualities pass into the
nature of the boy and control his ten
denotes, says the Ohio State Journal.
There is no better example of the in
fluence of environment than is seen in
the effect of clothes. The cost has
nothing to do with it, 1t is in the
neatness, the taste, the way 1t sets
and feels that help make up the in
clination and disposition of person.
The dignity, the ease, the intelligence
of man can be promoted by his
dress, and the opposite qualities just
as well. Clothes are really character
formers, and one should see that they
are directed to whatever contributes
to the grace, order, dignity and beauty
of character.

Pathetic Pride.

Willie had had a tumble when he
was baby and his hip was SO hurt
that ever afterward he was obliged to
use crutch. On one occasion, when
his mother had bought him a new
crutch OF the latest and most ap-
proved style, Willie expressed his en-
thusiasm and delight in the roundest
terms. "And oh, mother!" he ex-
claimed. in conclusion, referring to a
little friend of his who having the
use of both legs had no need OF
crutches, won't Johnny Knowles be
iealous!"

TORE HIS SKIN OFF
In Shreds-Itching Was Intense
Sleep Was Often Impossible.
Cured by cutlcura in Three Weeks.

"At first an eruption Of small pus-
tules commenced on my hands. These
spread later to other parts of my body,
and the itching at times was intense,
SO much so that literally tore the
skin off In shreds In seeking relief.
The awful itching interfered with my
work considerably. and also kept me
awake nights. l tried several doc
tors and used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally l set
tied down to the use Of Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills,
with the result that in few days all
itching had ceased and in about three
weeks time all traces of my eruption
had disappeared. have had no trou.

Another Victim.

With a gaping wound in the right
side, under the arm, and double
barreled shotgun, one barrel OF which
had been dicharged, lying nearby
the body of Lawrence Cranston, the
12-year-old son of Fred Cranston, a
farmer living three miles east Of Hub
bardston, was found Monday morning
In a patch Of woods not far from the
home. II is evident that the boy was
killed by the accidental discharge OF
his own gun.
Lawrence left home Sunday morn
ing, saying that he was going for a
hunt, and did not return at night
The parents, thinking that he was at
the home Of playmate, nearby, did
not worry. In the morning when he
did not return in time to go to school
and when an inquiry revealed that he
had not appeared at the neighbor's
house, a searching party was organ
lied, and the body discovered.

Afraid to Return.

Because of threats that they would
be killed If they ever returned to
Brownsville, the negroes who com.
posed the three infantry companies
at Fort Brown in August, 1906, will
not testify before the military court
of inquiry now in session at Browns
vile.
The court is reviewing the inves-
tigation for the third time into the
raid made by the soldiers three years
ago. Notices were sent to the dis
charged soldiers that they would be
given an opportunity to testify in
their defense, but they have answered
that life has no charms for them In
the Rio Grande valley.

His Ewes Shot Out.

John Dalzell, both of whose eyes
were gouged out and his nose torn
off by stray bullet, while hunting
deer near st. Ignace, was brought to
his Traverse City home and is now in
the hospital in serious condition.
Dalzell was sitting near runway
when the bullet came out of the
woods. Cropping his way through the
trees and falling over distractions, he
made his way a mile before he drop
ped exhausted.
Dan Hines, who was one OF the
party, heard Dalzell's screams three
quarters of a mile. away and found
him. The men/ he'd been in that
vicinity for three weeks and had seen
but two hunters. Dalzell is pros
porous farmer.

Marines Still Missing.

Since the receipt OF the announce
ment that nine men off the gunboat
Marietta at Port Limon, Costa RIGA,
were adrift in gig and whaleboat
belonging to that vessel, the navy de-
partment has received no further in
telligence concerning them.
The gunboat has sent out general
alarm by wireless and request that
ships proceeding in that vicinity keep
a lockout for her gig and whaleboat.
The gig. which was manned by a
crew of four, and the whaleboat, with
i've men aboard. were carried out to
sea in the heavy weather Friday.
Nothing has been seen or heard of
either of the boats since.
A reward has been offered by the
commander of the Marietta for any
one finding the boats or rescuing the
men.

Persisted IN THE
GREAT FOREST
THREE MEN LOST IN THE WOODS
WHILE HUNTING AND NOT
FOUND.
STRAY SHOT BLINDS MAN
The Distressing Accidents Of the
Hunting Season Just Closed Have
Specially Sad Features.

All hope of finding the body Of
Harry Brownell. of St. Charles, Mich,
has been abandoned. Lost while deer
hunting and apparently having become
demented, the man is believed to
have wandered many miles and then
to have persisted from hunger and
exposure Much snow has fallen since
Brownell disappeared and there is
doubt now that his remains ever will
be found.
Arthur Lepusha, young man Oh
Ironwood, Mich, also is believed 10
have met death in the wilderness
He disappeared from hunting camp
in the Gogebic iron range country
some days ago, and at latest advices
searching parties had found no trace
of him. 1t is feared he has either
persisted from exposure or has been
killed by some careless hunter A
similar fate is thought to have befal.
len Robert Beilby, 6S years old, OF
Dowagiac, Mich, who was hunting
deer eight miles southeast Of Sidnaw,
in Houghton county. Beilby has been
missing since Nov. 16.
Kelly Davidson and Freeman John
son, two Grand Marais boys, armed
with 22-caliber rifles, had an extreme
ly narrow escape from death when
they became lost in a cedar swamp.
The boys struck the trail OF a deer
in the snow and they followed 1t un-
til they became bewildered. They
were found, half frozen, early in the
morning by a searching party which
fortunately had stumbled across their
footprints. The weather had turned
bitterly cold and 1t is believed that the
boys could not have survived the
night.

The banana is to have a much wider
market than the United States affords.
If the growers of the fruit in Central
America cooperate with the carriers
who are willing to take the fruit to
England. Fifteen steamers are ready
to enter the trade if the growers will
pledge fruit enough to keep them
busy. 1t is estimated that these
steamers will require deliveries of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 tons of fruit per
month at the shipping docks in Cen.
trail America.

The bureau of zoology of the state
department of agriculture has recent
ly issued an admirable and novel bull
letin on the subject Of plant pest treat
ment. In few pages comparatively
are condensed a very comprehensive
list of the oomnoner ills plants are
heir to. Then another list gives the
appropriate treatment, while a third
tells the most effective time to do
the work. These three schedules are
connected by cross references so that
they are made easily available to any
one. In most cases the grower knows
only too well what is the matter with
his crop. If he does not the bureau
invites him to send specimens of af-
fected growth securely packed so no
danger of spreading infection or risk
of damaging by mail may be incurred.

I More even than sailors, before the
days of steamships, who had to de-
pend upon the wind for the success of
their voyages and had to watch the
weather for their lives, the men who
manipulate flying machines must be
students of the air currents, the skies,
the signs of storms. The more this
young century interests itself with
the navigation of the air the more it
will learn, perforce, about the great
invisible enveloping fluid which sur
rounds the globe. The airships and the
aeroplanes are going to make this
generation the first in weather lore of
all that have felt the power of the
winds and the perils of the fury of the
elements.

Prescriptions Not General.

Some people look on a doctors pre-
scription in the same light as a cook
cry recipe and pass it on to their
friends for general use. They forget
that some symptoms may come from
totally different causes and that to
take medicine prescribed for a
friend is very risky thing to do and
may do a great deal Of harm.
