Rosa Bonheur Made Foes.

Rosa Bonheur had one habit which
was the means of making her many
enemies. In the face of every person
she met she traced likeness to some
animal, and was tactless enough to
speak of the discoveries she made. A
French duchess who had bought two
Of her animal pictures was described
by Bonheur once as the "camel-faced
woman" and that ended their friend
ship for all time. An English coun.
tess went to France especially to see
the famous animal painter, and the
two women were attracted to each
other and exchanged letters for sew
eral years. The correspondence end.
ed abruptly, however, when the coun-
tess was informed that Bonheur spoke
of her as that Englishwoman with
the COW face" here were many 9TH
er incidents of a similar nature in
Bonheur's experience which led her
to the belief that men have a keener
sense Of the ridiculous and the hu-
mon Gus than women. Men whom she
had likened to animals low in scale
were amused when they heard Of it,
and that pleased Bonheur. She lost
a friend in one French nobleman,
however, whom she described as ''the
man with the pig face."-New York
Press.

| try, the more SNOWY and expensive
the apparel, the higher up the person
| goes in our estimation. While all
this indicates exceeding narrow
mindedness and poverty of judgment,
1t has been the way with us little
human beings from time immemorial
and not without its quota OF reason.
for there's a method In our madness.
Was not the, chief of the savage tribe
known from others by his more gor-
geous habiliments, and does not the
queen of one Of the most civilized
countries on the globe today wear the
ermine robe and jeweled crown to
show her rank?
There is no doubt about the fact
that dress has always been potent
factor in the problem Of success. A
writer In Harper's Bazaar tells this
story: A wealthy physician was CIV
ing sound advice to young man who
was to follow his profession. Never"
he said, "if you are starving, allow
yourself to look poor. Dress we'll II
your stomach goes empty, and never
let your patients suspect that YOU
need the money they owe you. Insist
that they pay you promptly, and say
that it Is one Of your principles to have
no outstanding bills, but make them
think you are prosperous. Remember
my boy, dress well, act rich, IL you
would be rich"
But there is something more than
pitiful in woman's devotion to dress
to see how we lay down our comfort,
even our health, as sacrifices On the
altar of fashion. And just now that
perverse goddess has reached her ex-
tremest limit. There Is such a thing
as the eternal fitness of things" but
dame fashion seems not to know any
thing about it, and some Of the beau
tiful creations" are sorry failures
when it comes to harmonious effect.
And so many frivolous bangles, beads
and tawdry things are worn by the
woman of fashion today that she looks
much like human Christmas tree.
But fashion is a despot and we can
not fly in her face any more than in
the face of Providence. The basis of
society is conformity to custom, and
1t is in the worst possible taste to as
sumo absolute independence in dress.
The woman who disregards fashion
and makes herself an isolated case
will soon find her popularity waning.
Only the unusually gifted or talented
may be eccentric in dress-as the
great Count Tolstoy, who goes about
attired in a loose robe Of sackclath
held in place by hempen rope; or
the elderly and extremely wealthy,
like Mrs. Hetty Green, who Is said to
wear a faded and worn alpaca dress,
with shabby shawl and bonnet Of the
style of twenty-five years ago.
But we ordinary mortals must con-
form to custom, though one does not
have to be an extremist to the die
tates of fashion. In dress as In every
thing else there Is the happy medium.
One may dress within the limits of
fashion and yet not be extreme. The
well-bred woman, no matter how many
dollars she may have, is never over
dressed though she may be we'll
dressed-Virginia Cobbe, in the In
diana Farmer.

Fashion Notes,

China silk waists are worn until
late in the season.
All sorts of black flowers are ap-
pearing in millinery.
Earrings have a great vogue on the
other side Of the water.
Wings trim many of the small hats
for wear with tailormades.
Cut jet promises to be the most
fashionable thing in stones this sea-
son.
Lace coats are noticeable for taf-
feta silk trimming, heavily soutached
in the same color as the lace.
The half-around-the-head barrette is
a favorite decoration for young girls.
1t is usually twined with colored rib
bons.
A novelty in belts in a handsome
tailored leather one, with chatelains
Of the leather, from which swings an
envelope Of the same kind.
The latest lingerie touch is to have
cherry ribbon bows fasten UP the
dainty garments, instead of the old
fashioned baby blue and pale pink.
Fashion authorities declare that
this season the separate waist must
match in some feature the dress Of
which it temporarily forms part.
Some of the newest tailormades are
severe in style, but they lace the old
masculine hardness, which made the
styles Of decade ago so memorable.
The use Of colored shoes has grown
universal, especially for house and
evening wear, and there are new soft
suedes, in grays. fawns, browns and
white.
Wrist bands, which are revival Of
the. early Victorian beaded bracelet,
have been introduced, and there Is a
threat of quite a revival Of these
trifles.
The costume is now considered in
complete without wrap of some sort,
no matter how slight 1t may be, and
this has caused a renewed vogue for
the scarf.
Spanish and Russian mantles are de-
cidedly artistic, but they must be worn
by woman Of height and slender
build-one who can carry her gown
gracefully.
The season has found many dresses
made extremely sheer, though not
transparent. The scheerness Is blurred
and is q far more modest arrange
ment than openwork yokes.

Scented Pillows.


Take your choice Of pine or laveu-
der. You will need one of your own
to slip into your trunk for the trip or
to use on the porch, hammock or
couch.
When made for the bed they are In
cased in strong muslin covers.
Over this Is drawn a pretty little
white slip of the sort used to cover
baby pillows.
For couches and out of doors more
serviceable materials are used.
For pine pillows cover of natural
colored linen, embroidered perhaps In
wood brown, Is pretty.
Grass green linen Is also suitable
for the purpose and cool looking.
The lavender pillow should be In
cased In lavender, embroidered In Z
lighter shade or one Of the pretty
white cretonnes, covered with spciss
Of lavender.
The pillows are not only pleasant to
have, but they frequently are an ac-
tual aid in producing refreshing sleep,
since certain odors are known to have
soothing effect.-Boston Post.

i1nportant point of attack was the
right of the State to pass a law COM
polling a license for ar automobile
carrying Interstate Commerce goods.
The questions raised were: First, the
right of the State to license automo-
biles not according to true value, but
according to the horse power; second,
whether this is not a double tax, as
the first tax is levied By tax assessors;
third, that the law puts automobiles
in a special class for the purpose OF
taxation; fourth, that this is a tax on
Interstate Commerce in violation OF
the Federal Constitution; fifth, tina.
this tax is a violation of the Four.
teenth Amendment of the Federal
Constitution, and sixth, that the ACT
discriminates against citizens of other
States because it compels the desig-
nation of an agent upon whom pro.
cess may be served in this State. The
opinion takes the grounds that tht
automobile is a dangerous machine
that it is the States duty, under it,
police powers, to protect the public;
that the taxing of cars is really licen
sing and not unconstitutional, ant
that the imposition of license fees i.
legitimate exercise of the States po
lice power. The opinion declares
that as there is no inherent rights tx
use the highways, the questions con
corning the Federal Constitution d.
not lie.

Kansas City, Mo. - Congressman
David Albaugh De Almond, the old
est Democratic Representative in
Congress in point of service, and his
grandson, David A. De Almond third,
six years old, were burned to death
when the De Almond home at Butler,
Mo-, was destroyed by fire. Mrs. De
Almond, who was aroused by her
grandson's screams, rushed from the
house in her night clothes just in
time to escape. The other occupants
of the house also escaped.
The De Almond home was a two
story frame building. The cause OF
the fire is unknown. The only story
from the inside is that of Mrs. De
Almond. She tainted when she
reached the ground, and it was some
time before she could begin to speak.
The first she knew of the fire, she
said. was when she was awakened by
her grandson shouting FIRE." He,
with his grandfather, slept out OF
doors on the balcony owe the front
porch. She was on the first floor.
The flames were already threatening
her when she awoke, she said. With

HAVOC STRIKES PORTO RICO

Railway Lines Swept Away - Tele-

Destroyed, Communication Cut

San Juan, P. R.-The storm which
for ten days scourged this island de-
stroyed property to the value of many
thousands of dollars. There has been
little loss of life, but the heavy rains
and violent winds have wrought
havoc among the cane, coffee and to-
bacco crops.
The heavy seas have damaged the
telegraph cables, and for eight days
the island was cut off from commu-
nication with the outside world. In
land telegraph and telephone wires
have been blown down or washed
away, roads cut up and rendered inn
passable in man. places by huge land
slides, bridges DESTROYED or damaged,
| railway lines swept away and many
inland towns cut off from communities
| ton with their neighbors.
In many districts the sufferings OF
the peasants r great. Their homes,
made of the fimsiest wood and straw,
have been destroyed and the half
starved inmates exposed to the rigor
of the terribly inclement weather and
the downpour for ten days.
The entire island has suffered, but
the greatest damage has been done in
the south. Residents of that part of
the country assert that it is more than
thirty years since the island has suf-
fered from such a deluge. The cy-
clone. of 1899 lasted about thirty-six
hours, but the damage done was
largely due to the wind. This time
the harm has been caused by floods.

THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. A. n. c.. MORSE.
Theme: The Lost.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Rev. Alfred
Fl. C. Morse, B. D., pastor of the
Strong Place Baptist Church, preached
Sunday on 1.-THE Lost" He took his
text from Matthew 1871: For the
Son of Mar is come to save that which
was lost" DR.. Morse said:
During the summer | saw a Cana
dian city moved with a great anxiety
because a lad had been lost in a neigh
boring wood. The papers published
a call for strong hearts to assist in
the search, and 1900 men hunted the
wood for two days and two nights. At
last the boy was found, his clothes
torn to shreds, his tongue swollen
with thirst and himself almost fam
ished with hunger. There was great
rejoicing when this little lad vas re-
stored to his home.
1t was something like this which
Jesus had constantly in mind, and in
a score of ways He illustrated the
need of His work. A sheep was lost,
and, of course, the shepherd searched
for the sheep; a coin was lost, and the
poor oma to whom it belonged was
unable to sleep until she had swept
every nook in her home and found It;
a boy was lost, he had deliberately
walked way from his home, but the
father broke his heart with pining;
the whole world had gone astray, and
knew not the way of return, and
therefore the need for His mission.
He had come to seek and to save that
which was lost.

Some time after midnight Friday and before sunrise Saturday the store of Pasquale Furcola at 32 Pierce street was entered by burglars and cigars, tobacco and other goods to the value of $50 taken. Entrance was made by the removal of a large pane of glass from the store door and exit was made by the same route. Several drawers were rifled and there was an evident search for cash, but none was obtained.
