Speaking of dressmakers, hosts Of
American women who visit Paris in
summer intend to repLenish their toll
etes while here. and fondly imagine
that orders may be placed for dresses
Immediately upon their arrival and
that a week later the gowns will be
completed and ready. Poor, guileless
creatures, They are not aware that
of all cities in the world, the trades
people here are the firmest believers
in that bromidian observation, Time
was made for slaves" It is incredi-
BILE the low value placed on time here.
II takes an American woman, newly
arrived, long time to get used to 1t.
and that, too, only after a number of
encounters with dressmakers and mil
liners, to whom she, like her predeces-
sor American sisters. has finally to
surrender and submit to the inevitable.
To try on a gown or waist seven or
eight times only TO be told to return
again and again for fitting is a COM
mon experience. Something is always
wrong--too tight here, too loose there
or the garment does not hang prop
erly.
French women have the same ex-
perience. and after many years resi-
dence in Paris l have come to the
conclusion that the reason why French
women do not object to these disap-
pointments is because they love the
excitement of shopping. 1t is a dis
traction, and they enjoy the constant
return visits to the dressmaker. In
accordance with the custom of the
country. they are very sweet about
it all, for neither buyer or seller shows
the slightest evidence of i'll temper

| tremely bad form, in France,) and

Paris COngeSted BY Americans:
French DreSSmQkerS Are Slow
BY "A voYAcUEsE.


Paris, July "A word of advice to
Americans who are thinking of visit
ing Paris this summer: Bring your
bed. with you, for unless you have
made hotel or similar reservations
we'll in advance the chances are that
on arriving you will find difficulty in
discovering n place to sleep.
Such a rush of foreign visitors, more
particularly Americans, the French
capital has seldom seen. Scores of
people, with money galore to spend
for hotel accommodations have been
compelled to either accept bed
formed of mattresses of boards placed
over bath tubs in bath rooms of suites
in hotels, temporarily used as rooms
or else walk the streets.
The Paris newspapers make fire.
quent mention of what they term the
American INVASION and the rain of
American dollars" which is visiting
Paris. They point to this fact as
evidence that the United States has
entirely recovered from the effects of
the panic of 1307-0S and that prosper
ity has returned to the entire coun-
try else how could so many Ameri-
cans come here and spend such tre-
mendous sums?" they ask. Hotels res
taurants, theaters, dressmakers, mil
liners, jewellers, dealers in paintings
and antiquities-all are benefiting
from the visit of the yankees" as
many French people designate all Am
orleans, no matter from what part of
the United States they may come.
Truly, America . is Frances best

The spectacle of William Bourke
Cochran, silver-tongued orator, bril-
liant wit and master of repartee. de-
Tending a penniless negro in laundry
last March. was an unusual feature of
the week in General Sessions. The ap-
pearance in the case of this modern
Demosthenes, who, it will be recalled,
received 81 600 speech from the Gold
Democrats to stump the country for
Palmer and Buckner against Bryan in
the latter's first campaign, caused a
where he is a stranger. Cochran was
assigned to defend the negro by the
court, which of late has been desig-
mating lawyers of the front rank to
defend impecunious prisoners in homi-
eide cases instead of assigning politi-
cal shysters to the work as heretofore
1t is doubtful if the negro realized the
value to him of the services OF the elo-
quent pleader assigned to defend him
To have regularly employed Cochran
would have cost him in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 if he could be retained
even at that figure. For his trouble
the state will give the lawyer $780, the
regular fee paid to counsel assigned
by the courts.

MURPHY SAID To
STAND GOOD SHOW

Glyndon, Mimi, Sept. 1s.-Great in
terest is being taken in the contest
for the office of sheriff TO be held in
this county at the primaries tomorrow.
Sheriff Whaley, the present incumbent,
seeks reelection. Former Sheriff
Bayer is a candidate Jalmar B. Erick-
SON, patrolman in Moorhead, is a
strong candidate. Many believe he will
be one of the two high men. The
fourth man is e. ]. Murphy of FELTON,
His friends are decidedly optimistic
and on the eve of the primaries are
expressing the greatest confidence in
his chances for success. Mr.. Murphy
is a pioneer in Clay county, having
resided here twenty Eight years. He
is farmer and breeder of thorough
bred horses. Through this part of the
county he seems to have the lead on
Messrs, Whaley, Bayer and Erickson.
One factor strongly urged in Mr.. Muir
phys favor by his friends is the fact
that he has never used intoxicants.
OF course, the race will not be one
sided, as the other candidates have
lot of friends, but those of Mr.. Muir
ply appear to have been most active
and to have gotten results.

There seems to be much discussion

then took her home. The Vances tried
to get her back, an atteml at one
time being made to kidnap the child,
but this falling, they sued for the
money spent for sup The case was
dismissed, as the rus Of law is that

a family with no understanding that
payment is to be made for support,
the family cannot collect for such sup
