fSV simpson, once known over the
kXE United States as "Sockless

kl9lWS4oH politician to attarct attention by
esssssss-aS his unique political methods.
But, substantially, this is not true, relates
the Kansas City Star, for there is a Topeka
man who was elected on a Shawnee county
ticket by identically the same methods
twenty-five years before Jerry Simpson
was ever heard of outside his local neigh
borhood. That man is p. l.. Bonebrake,
widely known in the state as the organizer
Of the Central National bank of Topeka,
for twenty-five years president Of that in
sutudon and with a previous political
career fun of years and honor
The late Congressman simpsons politi-
cal enemies dubbed him "Sockless Jerry"
in his initial political campaign. ana the
derisive term was adopted and used effec.
lively by the man whom it was intended
to harm. So In the case Of Mr.. Bonebrake.
The committee which called upon him at
his farm on the occasion which marked
his introduction TO Kansas politics. re-
ported him TO be peculiar old fogy who
didn't wear socks' In spite OF the unfay-
orable report OF the committee. Mr.. Bone
brake was placed on the county ticket and
won.
1t was in the year 1866 when the slate
Of the county ticket for the term OF 1867
and 1868 was being drawn UP that the
incident occurred which marks the first

integrity would make a valuable candidate

When KiDlinE shOveIed Coal.
When Rudyard Klpling was living in his
Vermont home several years ago, he gained
a reputation for taclturnity among his New
England neighbors, bordering even on in
hospitality. Some wealthy and arlstocratic
nelghbors were afforded scant encourage
ment when they sought to become ac-
aualnted with the literary celebrity then
in the zenith of his fame but that Kip
ling found one congenial spirit In the hilly
environs Of his home is vouched for by a
man from the Green Mountain state who
was in Chicago recently.
There was a quaint old New Englander
who had drifted over all quarters OF the
globe, acting as night watchman in a fac
tory not very far from the Kipling home,
and by some chance Mr., Kipling met the
old fellow" said the Vermont man. The
old fellow was very fond of his drink and
curiously enough, he first met the famous
Epgllshman, of whom he knew little or
nothing.
THE old watchman was decidedly pic
tuIesque in his appearance and in his ex-
pressions and Kipling took an immediate
liking to him. After the first meeting the
literary man sought out the night watch
man often, and It is said that Kipling paid
him numerous visits at the old factory
where the two talked till the small hours
OF the morning, the night watchman shar-
ing even the plug of his famous visitor
TT was one of the duties OF the watch
man to keep up the fires in the engine
room. one evening Kipling found his
friend, the watchman, so badly under the
influence OF liquor that he was wholly
unable TO either make the rounds OF the
factory or shovel coal under the boilers.
But he was every bit as entertaining as
usual
There was a good sized panic that night
in the Kipllng home ana the servants were
sent out to hunt for missing author. They
found him at about sunrise shoveling coal
into a furnace in factory mile OF two
away. In an adjoining room, lying on a
cot sound asleep, was the night watch

DR.. Stookey says that the hope for the
future of the college lies within the circle
OF friends near at home and upon them
must fall the first part OF the burden Of
raising enough money to assure the sue
cess OF the institution. If they contribute
as they are expected to, DR.. stookey feels

shirt front should not be excessive.
In one of the Fifth Avenue shops 4
new and striking waistcoat has lust
sbeen displayed. The feature is the
material, which is an all silk knitted
fabric. 1t is cream-colored and has a
wide fiat silk braid of the same shade
on the edges and around the pockets
The indications in hat demands for
the fall season tend to show 4 great
increase in popularity for the soft cf-
feots in preference to the stiff shapes.
The hat shapes have changed very
llittle and the moderately low crown
and wide brim will be the favorite
shape. Grays, browns, tans and blacks
are the better shades, while a few
blues of various shades, principally
dark, are mixed in to brighten the
seasons color scheme in headwear.
The soft color in beaver effects, in
troduced last Fall, will again be pop-
uiar during the winter months, and
these will be shown in many beautiful
mixed effects, as well as in solid eel
|ors. The alpine shapes promise to be
more popular than the telescopes.
The plush bats are not much thought
of by the best dressers.
Dressing gowns are becoming more
prominent feature among the smart
shops and department stores, as is in
dicated by the increasing demand for
them, which started as a holiday spe-
cialty, but has since become staDIo.
Some of the house gowns one sees
nowadays, especially those shown in
the Fifth Avenue shops. cost almost
as much as a woman's evening gown.
They are of silk fabric IN gorgeous
designs. One handsome gown is of
silk in a Persian design, in lavender
and green. It has long shawl col
lar, corded edges, fancy frogs, and
silk rope girdle to match the color of
the gown. The lining is of light
-willed silk. In harmony with the
gown is shown an unusually classy"
legligee shirt. 1t is a fancy light
Japanese silk of old gold and green,
having four box pleats, square, soft,
cuffs asi four pearl but
ons forming links. The slippers are
covered with Persian silk to harmon.
&c with the gown. ..+-

, links and pins come in matched sets
of pearl and gold or set with semi
precious stones. Scarf holders are
also enjoying a marked return to pop
ularity.
The closest collar reigns supreme
for business and day wear, with little
hope Of the wing collar crowding it
The Ascot ties, which give some indi
cation of returning, may add some
what to the popularity of the wing
collar, but for the present the wing
collar divides honors with the poke
collar for dress wear.
Gloves offer little scope for variation
Of style and accordingly there u not
much defined this season. The gloves
are best selected when in color har.
mony with the tone Of the oyercoat
or REFER. There is a preference for
the button effects over the clasped.
Brown shades and grays are the most
fashionable. The brown shades are
lshown mostly in the mocha, .glace and
cape materials and the grays in the
suede and cheverette effects.
The creative spirit in mems wear
ing apparel has no more inviting field
than that of fancy vests. One reason
for this might be that fancy vests
are suitable for formal wear, evening
wear, dressy wear and daily wear.
The Partisan styles in fancy vests
seem to be returning to the double
breasted effects. The front of the
vests have various cuts, some in "
shapes, while others are more square,
and still others have the appearance
or a lozenge on the breast. The col
larless vest is still good, although
worn for the past few seasons. Plain
pockets without lapels are again in
vogue. The styles are all single
breasted, shaped in at the waist. They
are cut very high. so that at least one
button will show above the lapels of
he coat. The majority are without
he collar. Plain colors. black and
white stripes. and few floral designs
compose the line. Whites, grays and
ans are the most prominent colors.

English publication, evening dress
Vaistcoats are not made with quite
UGH a decided point at the openingl

| and silk plated materials are also sc
employed. Aside from this innovation
the hosiery effects are the same as fol
several seasons past, excepting thai
the shades in vogue follow those pre-
vailing in the neckwear fashions.
The shirt fashions for Fall in q
great measure show the same fabrics
and weaves that have for several
seasons been established as the most
fashionable and practical. These are
madras, cheviots, oxfords and per
Gales. Small conventional designs and
stripes of various widths are in favor
for the season. Self stripes are pop
| ular and wide stripes decorated with
swivel designs, flowers, vines, etc., are
seen in the fashionable shops. Blue
gray, tan and black and white effects
are shown with the most prominence,
but combinations of the more delicate
shades are extremely well thought of
and are largely displayed in the high
er grade lines.
There are many novelties introduced
in walking sticks and umbrellas. The
canes, especially, show some unique
conceptions. One novelty is the lacquer
stick with crystal ball or head set
with turquoise to match the waistcoat
buttons, pins or links. Another has a
small watch set in the head of the
cane. Still another shows a match box
imbedded in the head of the cane and
some even have a receptacle for Gig
arettes. About the same woods and
handle effects are employed as here
tofore with variety of ideas In cary
ings and trimmings.
One of the recent features in Jew
elry is the lapel watch fob. These
are shown in chain, leather and rib
bon effects with various unique de-
signs for the lapel button. Many of
he buttons attached to the fob are
initiated, monogrammed or set with |

and designs of neckwear
The latest is brilliant red-the colo

designs in accordance with the lates
fashion craze. 1t remains to be seer
what degree of success the Chanticleel
scarf will achieve. The assured sue
cesses OF the season in neckwear are
those of Persian and Moorish design
In these, the predominant colors are
royal purple, garnet and ruby.
A novelty in neckwear effects just
launched are those known as college

shape, with lengthwise stripes of in
Vulnerable combinations, representa-
tive of the college or high schoo
colors.
The knitted and crocheted ties are
getting considerable patronage with
the really discriminating dressers
This is due to the fact that such ex.

are shown that men who have an "eye

simply Irresistible.
All the patterns in neckwear this
season seem to run in the bold eff

color as in character Of design. Many
OF the designs are of the leaf and

portion of vine effects. Bold. diagonal
effects are also quite prominently

AS TO shape, the four-in-hand rules
supreme. These are just wide enough
at. the knot to be accommodated to

point to the end graceful. Ascot and

 Philadelphia Sept. 15.-Reply1ng to Roosevelt, especially to the editorial utterances{ of the New York World and Evening Post, the North Ameri- can today says:
 Roosevelt is being exposed as be- ing inconsistent. .The original discov- erer of the first mares nest loses his laurels. Of course Roosevelt is in consistent and always has been. Of course \he indicts his present by his past. Of course, he is not the man backwards, because the world moves ever forward. And that is why he is today, as he was nine years ago, the man providentfally raised up to meet an 1exigency in this country's history these are the words of William Howard Taft, not ours That is why the beneficiary of criminal corpora tons and the associate of the corrupt bosses in the past stands today the first citizen of the nation because civic idealism of the people, whose needs, and aspirations he understands better than any man; because more than any other man he has shared the inconsistency of their moral pro- gress. He always has been inconsist- He has done wrong in little things but in the big things his ambitions and his inconsistence have worked for the whole people and the preser- vation of government representa- tive Of constituencies and not Of cor porations.
