all circumstances can only be measured
by the discomfort suffered through the
consciousness of struggling rat tails over
ones face in place of the desired trim
neatness.
With transformation. too. any possible
suggestion of falseness or "wigginess' is
out of the question. for not even the clos
est scrutiny can discover where nature
fails and art steps in. This, of course. is
due to the skill of their manufacture

One of these transformations dressed to
show the trend of fashion at the moment
is a decided classic inspiration, the beau
tifully soft hair being drawn back from
the face in big undulations and confined
by triple bands of jeweled embroidery or
ribbon.
There can be no doubt of the charm
OF the arrangement. which is. moreover,
one that Is decidedly becoming to many

transformation so exquisitely arranged

be simply drawn back and confined in one
soft coil, for the severe service of the
sporting day, and in a hundred other
ways as we'll.

FASHIONS AND FADS.

The styles Of the coming year will be
much richer as to material, more ornate
as to trimming and more complicated in
regard to their cut, design and conStruc-
ton.
Not only the semi-fitting coats. but the
seven-eighths fitting models are to be
popular this season. and this will please
the woman who has a tendency to be
somewhat stout.
The latest linen tailormade shirt waists
are cut on modsh lines with a box pleat
down the front, sonnet mes embroidered
but the best are those trimmed with large
white pearl buttons.
Wraps Of all kinds outside of the regu-
lar coats have been increasing in width
throughout the summer. and this means
of course, wider skirts than those that
have prevailed for so long.
An interesting variation is the sleeve,
which is dart finished at the top instead
than an inch and half long, and four
or five are required to each sleeve.
Lace tulle, amure tulle. beaded tulle
and a silk tulle of irregular mesh. with
small gold and silver beads and crystal
bugIes scattered over it, are used for
guimpes and sleeves and trimming bands.
The chiffon sleeves in evening dresses
are sometimes made perfectly plain, with
out tuck or gather and no finish at the
bottom. This sounds odd, but with the
right gown 1t is strangely becoming.
The embroidered plaque has played a
small. but creditable part upon the cor
sages of frocks for some time past. Now

t he Body is a
Fat Factory

When a man or a woman grows fat and huge.
fabby layers Of this worthless flesh makes them
miserable II is certain sign that somewhere
within the organism Of that man or woman
there is something radically wrong. The healthy
man woman digests all that is good in food
and throws on in a natural manner all that is
bad. THIS is what the digestive juices are made
for. When these juices are weakened or too
powerful they cannot get the good things out Of
the nOurishment eat, and hence they turn
into the blood that which makes fat. 1t Is very
simple to correct these juices in a fat person.
This secret has been demonstrated In the ia
nous Marmola Tablets. which now have such
tremendous SALE They reduce fat at the rate
of from 12 to Is ounces a day. They correct
the faulty juices and give to the body the very
nutrition 1t needs. They remove fat In a nat
ural manner, but they do 1t so quickly as to
be almost beyond belief You do not have to
diet or exercise and you may eat what you
WILL These little tablets are the result of a
demand on the part OF the public for form

Never in the history of the piano
business has its like happened be-

The W. F. Frederick Music

house in America capable Of
handling so immense transaction.
It's broad methods have been seen
here since the establishment OF d
Frederick branch in Washington
and have excited the strongest ad-
miration on the part of business
men generally.
Turn this thought over in your
mind-this great load of pianos
MUST BE DISPOSED OF
QUICKLY. The building is rent

pany must get out. These pianos
are to be sold and WILL BE
SOLD, no matter what they bring.
If you want a piano or ever ex-

be a chance like this to get one
of the best instruments produced
and get it at about half its regu-

More Than 100 Sold in Six
Days, But They Are Hardly
Missed Out Of the
Great knabe Stock.
Most Remarkable Selling Of
Planes Eyer Known in
Washington.

When you pause to think OF it.,
600 pianos are a great lot of them.
Who has ever seen 600 pianos at
orc time anywhere: Even the
knabe warerooms did not contain
ali OF these; many of them were
o;.t in rent and had to be brought
in gradually, as the big knabe
building would accommodate them.
SIX hundred pianos stacked on end
would reach up in the air SEVEN
TIMES AS HIGH AS THE
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Standing side by side they would
reach from the Capitol almost to
the Treasury building. It would
take train of FORTY CARS,
packed as closely as possible i'll
each car, to carry them. Six hum
dred pianos would weigh close on
to 100000 pounds, and in cubic
measurement would tax the capac-
ity OF the largest ocean steamship.
This great Washington business
OF William Knabe & Co., which
has been bought out by the w. F.
Frederick Music Co. and is now
being sacrificed, consisted of more
than 600 pianos, and, while the
number sold in the first six DAYS
OF the sale has run over 100 in

left, and some of the finest bar
gains of all are among them. There

Will Take Case to Higher Court.

RICHMOND, va, september IA GER
tilted transcript Of the record in the case
of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company VS.. the heirs of the late
Samuel McCue, hanged at Charlottesville
for the murder of his wife. has been
transmitted by the clerk Of the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
eastern district to the clerk of the United
States Supreme Court at Washington.
The case of the Northwestern against the
McCue heirs arises out of the efforts be-
ing put forth by the life insurance COM
pany to evade payment of the fifteen
thousand-dollar policy carried by McCue
at the time of his death. The North
western takes the ground that death
from execution in expiation of. crime is
in itself kind of suicide. On this plea
the case has been fought through all the
Virginia state courts, through several of
the federal tribunals and is now carried
to the court of last resort for final adj
judicatiOn.

Good Hay Stacker.

The sizes of timbers used in this
design for a hay stacker vary from .
inches by 4 inches to 4 inches by
6 inches. The bottom pieces marked
1 are II feet long and inches by 5
inches, the side uprights are IA feet
long; the cross piece is 10 feet Of
3-inch by 5-inch stuff; No. is 2
inches by inches, and is bevelled on
the front edge to allow the hay to
slide over it easily, when being showed
on by the sweep. No. IS is 8 feet by
2 inches by inches, with the higher
end feet above the ground, so that
when the stacker is on the ground the
weight box No. IA will be about 2
inches from the two pulleys on the
upper end of No. IS. The rope for
raising the stacker should be either
inch or inch and a quarter.
The teeth on the stacker can be
made of Pinch by 4-inch pine scantling
10 feet long and bevelled on the upper
side to allow the hay to slide easily.
The short upright teeth on the stack
er head should be about feet long.

SMALLEST PRISON.
That of Sark, Though Ancient, Contains
but Two Cells.

Sark. the loveliest of the Channel
islands, possesses a quaint old prison of
two cells, more as a matter of form than
Of necessity, for serious crime is almost
unknown in the island, which has no
paid police, but simply an elected con-
stable.
1t is some years since the prison was
called into requisition, says The Strand,
and on the last occasion the bolt was
found to be so rusty that it had to be
broken before the door could be opened.
The prisoner was then put in, left all
night with the door open and made no
attempt to escape.
On another occasion q young English
servant who had stolen some clothes was
sentenced to three days Imprisonment.
The prospect so terrified her that the
authorities took pity on her loneliness
and considerably left the cell open. The
little maid sat in the doorway and was
consoled by kind-hearted Sark women,
who came to keep her company.
A still more curious incident is told of
q man who was convicted for neglecting
his wife and children. He was ordered
to betake himself to the prison and there
wait for the arrival of the constable.
This he did, sitting outside until the
door was opened to let him in.-New

Clean Farming Profitable.

Honest, now, don't you like to see
farm kept clean Of all unnecessary
trash and the fields clean Of weeds?
1t really adl is to the worth of the
farm. IN the eyes of the man passing
by it is a better farm than the one
beside it Of equal soil though weed
grown and brushy
A great many folks pay no atten-
ton to the roadsides. Where a hedge
is the outside fence, we have seen
hedge brush grow from roots that had
been exposed by road grading, until
travel had actually been turned to
the opposite because of 1t. This
doesn't speak very well for the care
fulness of the farmer. Of course there
is always SO much to do on a farm
that some Of it never gets done-any
one who has farmed for as short 3
time as one year knows this-but the
time required to do a little cleaning
up IS really shorter than a busy man
believes 1t Is getting started at the
work that comes hardest. The excuse
Of the man who does not have a clean
looking farm Is usually that he does
not care about selling, and it is worth
as much to him that way as any. He
does not figure in anything for salts
faction.-Farmers' Mail and Express.

Learned in Law but Not Letters

According to Tennessee man there
was once a judge in the eastern section
of the state, a man well versed in law,
but entirely self-educated, who had to
ply all his life. In early life he had
lived in Knoxville, and for a long time
he insisted upon spelling the name Nox-
Vile
Finally his friends educated him up to
the point of adding the * so thor
oughly, in fact, was the lesson learned
that when, a few years afterward, he
removed to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling it EVANSVILLE.
Then some time later the judge moved
again, this time to Murfreesboro. On the
day that he began to write his first letter
from this place he scratched his head in
perplexity. and finally exclaimed:
L give it up How on earth can they
spell the name of this place with a X :"

A Useful Bird.

A family of barn owls will number
from three to seven birds. It is diff
cult to believe what lot of vermin
and rodents a family of owls will con-
sumo. An old owl will capture as
much or more food than a
dozen cats in night. The
owlets are always hungry. They
will eat their weight in food every
night and more If they can get
it. A case is On record in which a
half grown owl was given all the mice
it could eat. 1t swallowed eight one
right after another. The ninth fol-
lowed all but the tail, which for some
time hung out of the birds mouth.
The rapid digestion of birds Of prey
is shown by the fact that in three
hours the little glutton was ready for
a second meal and swallowed four
more mice: If this can be done by a
single bird what effect must a whole
family Of owls have on the rodents Of
a community?

Telephone Manners.

The question of telephone manners
and telephone etiquette which has been
raised by a discussion in a contempt
rary is surprising, because it seems to
show that even business people admit
there is such thing as telephone man
ners, though they appear to think the
code is exhausted when the man at the
other end of the wire has waited their
convenience. Unfortunately the tele-
phone manners that exist are only a
relic of the past, and the habitual tele-
phoner gradually discards small courte-
sizes. The conversation that begins with
the ring of a bell by one party and a
sharp "Hullo" by the other is necessari-
ly stripped of dignity, while the fact
that if the speakers are strangers they
will never recognize one another tends
to a loss of self-respect. Only the in
nately courteous observe telephone man
ners; the rest of the world lapses into
something like primitive savageness
when it uses the latest resource of civ
ilization.-Court Journal

ROUNDUP OF BEARS.
Necessary in Colorado, Cattlemen Say,
Because Bruin Is Killing Stock.


The annual roundup Of bears is on in
Routt county. Albert Whitney, Steve Ell
kins and several other bear hunters CT
note have undertaken to rid the cattle
ranges Of Routt county Of the bears
which arc killing the colts and calves
in large numbers. Eight bears have been
taken so far during the hunt.
The headquarters Of the hunters is at
Phippsburg, and from that point they
throw out circle, beating the timber in
the vicinity Of the places where dead
calves and colts are found. The party
of hunters has about fifty bear dogs, the
pack being mostly from the kennels Of
EIkins Of Mancos Cal, and Of Whitney
of Phippsburg.
The stockmen say that they are losing
at least $1,000 a week by allowing the
bears to live off their colts and calves,
which are so small at this time Of the
year that bears easily pull them down.
Two skins sent in from the hunters
camp are the finest furs that have been
seen in Denver for many years. One is
off brown bear and the other off a
black. Each is a glossy pelt, full furred
and in perfect condition. At this sea-
son a bears skin is in prime condi-
ton, as he does not shed until July

MADE A MILLION IN ONIONS.
Statistics Of This Years Crop in South
west Texas

The official figures of this years onion
crop in southwest Texas have just been
compiled by Roy Campbell, manager Of
the Southern Texas Truck Growers as
ISOLATION, which handled the bulk of the
shipments. The total shipments up to
June 1 were 2650 cars.
The average number of crates to n car
is 400. 1t is estimated by Mr.. Camp
bell that the growers Melted an average
OF not less than 10 cents a crate or $50
4 car. This makes the net income to
the growers S9S3,250 on $3.50 cars. Some
Of the growers think that the average
profit will be nearer 80 cents era te
than 40 cents. Il the greater estimate
Is correct the total returns from the sea-
sons crop will be in excess of $1,000
600.
The largest onion shipping point is
Laredo, which sent out 100 cars of the
product this season. The shipments went
