The practically undated activity
in industrial and commercial circles
during the past ten days is nothing
else than reflex of good news from
the great rol,-producing areas Of the
country: The truth that agriculture
is the basis of the nations wealth has
never been more fully realized than
during the present season. When the
farmer prosp"rS he country has
cause for rejoicing. In the revival OF
business, it is he, not the captain Of
industry, who gives the word. The
farmer is the real generalisSimO OF
the industrial forces. When the man
behind the pillow calls "Gee ap.' the
city leader cries "Allons." and the
wheels of industry begin to spin-coal
is dug from the ground, rolling stock
is put in motion. steel and iron pro-
duction increases, goods are ordered
to replenish the traders supply
The wheat crop, which is practical
IN made, promises about the same as
last year, but ruling values make it
the most valuable ever known. the in
crease in the worlds demand and the
prospective shortage in the Argentine
crop having combined to enhance the
price. Heavy floods in portions of the
Missouri valley have been damaging
to corn, but favorable weather has

crop. with a money value not far from
So 900, 200, 900. This means increased
net earning for the railroads and no
idle cars, as well as riches for the
producers OF the crop. The oats crop
will he considerably greater than last
! year, with a possibility Of a total yield
of IA round billion for the first time.
The outlook for the cotton crop has
been greatly improved by favorable
weather in the eastern belt and the
breaking of the drought in the south
west.
In response to all this, each sue
! ceeding week has been record OF
advancing activity in industry and
commerce. Railroads are delivering
long-deferred orders, and the iron and
steel trade, which was formerly hunt
ing business. is now confronted with
the problem If how to meet insistent
calls. Plans for enlarging present in
dustrial plants, as well as for estab.

GREATNESS TO COME.

Unless the unforeseen occur, the de
ca!e upon which the United States is
now entering promises to be one Of
rnexampled prosperity. 1t will III
reality be a decade in which the conn
try must learn to think in billions, for
if the rate of increase of the ten years
past is maintained. as is possible, the
statistical totals, most Of them, will
be found rapidly ascending the billion
column. Naturally. when that occurs,
the Odium Of the billion-dOllar con-
gress will disappear. The fact is the
United States is rapidly growing
giant among the nations, and it is
still far fror having attained the size
to which it is destined.
The statistical experts OF the Manu-
facturer's Record has been figuring
out what is going to happen within
the next ten wears Of the nations
progress, and the very vastness OF the
conclusions he reaches makes Il start
lin" exhibit of the country's financial
an; intln&t .ill power. He estimates

country viii he the enormous sum of

Is based upon the average annual rate
OF increase from 1890 to 1908. OF
course. the human mind can grasp
this h"ge total only in the vaguest
way. TO the ordinary man is means
srparlative vastness: it is an eNclama-
ton, not Il clearly defined idea.

1t happened some ~ or Is years
ago, the year the American Bar assoc

session hal come to a close, and that
evening the party went up the Detroit
river in yachts for an excursion. Tney
were late returning. 1t was pitch
dark.
One of the members of the party
was James J. Joy. then about so years
old. one of the prominent and distin-
guished men of Detroit. and otherwise
identified with the best commercial.
social and political interests of his
state. He died some years ago.

greatest service in the world, tried
likewise for him; and nightly afraid
we were that he would soon succeed.
This brought matters to a crisis with
Daphne. / mentioned the word "elope"
to her again, and she made great
cutlery, after the manner of young
women, and then began straightway
TO show me precisely how 1t might be
done, protesting. meanwhile, that she
would never, no, never, consent. we
both agreed, though, that 1t was
proper we should lay the matter OF
our marriage before Sir Peter and
Lady Hawkshaw; but l saw that Daph-
ne, who was of romantic turn, had
her Imagination fired by the notion of
an elopement.
"A pair of good horses and light
travelling chaise." she exclaimed. IF
only it were not wrong!"
NO. no! Four horses." cried I;
"and there is nothing wrong in either
two or four horse chaise."
Daphne clapped her hands.
"A trip to Scotlnnd-I have always
longed for Scotland. l know dozen
people who have married In Scotland,
and happy marriages. every one OF
them. But l forbid you, Richard, to
think of an elopement."
I'VE shall set out at midnight; we
shall not be missed until morning, and
we shall have at least IL hours start.
Then, at every stage we shall leave
something behind. which will insure
a broken axle. or a linchpin gone, for
our pursuers."
We were both SO charmed with the
picture we had conjured up. that when
said: Suppose, after all. though,
that Sir Peter consents?" Daphne's
face fell; but presently she smiled,
when 1 said:
''If he does consent, why, then,
there is no harm in our marrying any
way we like, and he will excuse us for
running away. And II he does not
consent, there is no help for tive
must elope!"
considered myself a casuist of the
first order. felt obliged to take the
first opportunity of letting Sir Peter
know the state of affairs. and. as
usual l determined to begin through
Lady Hawkshaw.
And" as Daphne shrewdly re-
marked, they will certainly differ, SO
we shall at least have one of them on
our side"

raised embroidery beginning with
mere dot and growing to quite large
disc lower down on the overskirt.
Upon the skirt is repeated another
harmonizing embroidery or braid de-
sign that extends around the bottom
on and above the hem and struggles
up charmingly into an irregular point
upon the front of the skirt.
The bottom of the skirt lies on the
floor in full. noppy folds all around
and has slight trail in the back.
Between the embroidered bolero
sleeves and cuff is a plain sleeve, fit.
ted and buttoned down the outer side.
This may be of the dress material or
of the sheer fabric. used for the collar
and front of the gown.
When built of thin white or flow
cred summer cotton fabrics the en-
belshed portions of the gown may be
cut out of all-over embroidery or lace
and supplied by edgings and fiounc:
ings to match.
Striped linen is used in making up

coat panel. Large buttons decorate
each shoulder and also the sleeve cuff
and straps around the upper arm.
Perhaps the most striking feature in
the gown is its prtty sleeve. This
is mousquetaire, of three-quarter
length. and shows. below 1t, a fitted
cuff of lace or such embroidered ma
terial as may be selected to trim the
dress with. A plated skirt, made

up attractively in any cotton, linen,

NAINTY, dazzling, delicious, such
are the creations which Dame
Fashion has introduced for the
summer of 1909.
To accommodate the clingins,
slinky. floppy styles now in vogue,
materials are all of kind calculated
to fall in soft folds and drape in folds
known as classic" and which are
purely Partisan. and as much SUI
perior to classic folds as the smart
Paris gown is to the cumbersome
toga, writes Marie dc Montaigne.
Sheer white embroidered robes are
features of this and the coming sea
son, and these are distinguished for
the delicacy and exquisite workman
ship of the embroidery. This. in the
better class of machine-made en-
broidery, rivals hand work in beauty,
and only an adept or the person who
paid the bills could tell the difference
between them.
Our first illustration shows an adj
mirable design in the latest mode for
our warm season. 1t is gown that
may be made up in wide variety OF
materials, from cloth to chiffon. or
linen to null. A gorgeous dinner
gown could be created by making the
guimpe and stock; the full drawn
pun across the front between the en-
pire band and sash. and the sleeves
of silver tissue with a gown of thin
blue satin; or of gold tissue with any
kind Of black evening material. In
the first case the empire bolero with
its short upper sleeves; the sash. cuffs,
edge Of overskirt and bottom 81 skirt ski
would be embroidered or braided In
silver. In the next instance the black
gown would be embroidered in gold.
To make an afternoon gown OF this
model use soft silk or satin, and work
an elaborate pattern of hand-em-
broidery or soutache braid over the
broad part of the bodice, which is
formed somewhat on the bolero order
in regard to brevity, and which serves
to support the skirt by means of two
broad, embroidered straps which are
buttoned to the top of the sash. OF
course, the strap is usually sewed
firmly to the sash, but it is quite pos
sible to fasten 1t on the button and
with a concealed hook and eye in each
corner. This would permit one to
wear a sheer blouse on warm day
without the embroidered covering.
The overskirt is looped in upward
folds on each side, and is embroid-
cred to harmonic with the design
used upon the bodice. This begins
in tiny scallop high up the front of
the overskirt, and increases in the
size of scallops towards the bottom.
Buttons or button effects are set in

Chamois gloves are again gaining
popularity. They look well in warm
weather and are not half as extrava.
giant as kid ones. They come in white
and several shades of yellow.
The wise girl keeps two pairs of
these going at once. and each day
washes one pair that they may be
dry to wear the following day. To
wash them cold water must be used
and white soap.
Put the gloves on and give them
thorough washing as you would your

White shoes. which always are in
favor in summer, will yellow with re-
peated cleanings. This trying period
will be postponed indefinitely If the
shoes are occasionally scrubbed OF
with good soap and water before ap-
plying the cleansing paste.
1t pays to buy shoe trees to slip into
the shoes during the cleaning process.
If drop or two of bluiIg is added
to the cleansing mixture, the shoes
will be much whittier.

An old darby wanted to join a

cast athwart the water. He stepped
from the boat out into space. There
was splash, q muiied cry, then
silence.
Dickinson was directly behind Joy.
He did not hesitate an instant. There
was no time to pull off a coat or kick
of shoes. It was case of instant
action or no action whatever An ex.
pert swimmer, Dickinson required no
preparation. He plunged into the
darkness and the waters below to
save life If to save it were possible.
For a moment the waters closed
over him, then he came to the sur
face. treading water. and looking
about. Within few seconds he spied
Joy who was supported by the great
coat he wore, ballooning about him.
The octogenarian was growing feeble,
and help came Just in time. Dick.
inson seized the cape Of the coat that
enveloped Joy and held him above
water.
The great danger that threatened
now was that he might be crushed
between the wharf and the boat In
the meantime the excitement of the
situation had communicated itself to
the other members of the party. and
the engineer was warned in the nick
of time.
Dickinson's son. then a boy, now a
man engaged in business in Seattle.
was the first to render practical as
sistance. He caught up a coil or
rope and threw one end over. His
father grasped It. the boats search
light having been turned on to aid
him in his work of rescue, and gave It
to Joy, who was yet able to cling to
It and help In some slight measure
those who then pulled him out of the
water.
Dickinson kept himself above water
until Joy had been rescued and his
own turn came. Then, his wet clothes
sticking to him and the water run
ming from them. he. too. was pulled
aboard. He was hurried into a cabin.
The first man to enter 1t was VIII.
liam Howard Taft. one of the men,
bers of the bar association. He didn't
care how wet Dickinson was. He 1ust
threw both arms around him and
Rugged him in the exurberance of his
joy and admiration.
THAT was a splendid thing you did
tonight, old man." he shouted.
The next day everybody made a
hero of Dickinson. But Dickinson
couldn't stand 1t. 1t was entirely too
much for him. He just took a train
and sneaked away.

Rats are receiving continued atten-
ton from the Agricultural Department.
The campaign started against them In
May may result some day in the ex-
termination of the pest IN this country.
A recent bulletin from the Agricultural
Department figured out that single
rat can eat sixty cents worth of grain
in a year and II all the rats in the
country were fed on grain alone it
would cost more than 500, 100000 a
year to board them. 1t is estimated
that q single pair of rats and progeny
breeding without interruption and suf-
fering no losses would in three years
increase to more than twenty millions.
