RETURNS RICH TO PARENTS
Man Who Left New Jersey Farm
Fifteen Years Ago Comes Back
With Much Wealth.

New Market, n. J.-William Stein
feldt, a youth of 90, was dissatisfied
with life on the parental farm and
without consulting his parents he took
a quiet leave and struck out for the
West 10 years ago. During all these
years no tidings came from him and
at the age of Sc he has returned to
his home-for a visit only-declaring
that he has made enough to support
his aged parents in comfort for the
rest of their lives. Besides being the
owner of an Idaho ranch, on which
Craze 10000 sheep, Steinfeldt has ac-
cumulated nearly 100000, which is
invested in stocks and bonds, and has
a farm of 500 acres under cultivation
With the dream of his youth realiz-
ed Steinfeldt has risen like one from
the grave only to astonish his parents
whom he will take west with him and
make the balances of their lives one
of ease and comfort. Ask why he had
remained silent for SO many years,
Steinfeldt declared that he Adid not
want anyone to know what heNwas do
ing nor where he was until he could
declare himself an Independent man.

JOHN DRINKWATER.
Harvesting the Straw Hat Crop.

The greater part of the straw en-
ployed for making summer hats comes
from Italy, says Harper's Weekly. To
obtain a suitable straw for this pur-
pose the wheat is sown as thickly as
possible, in order that the growth Of
the plant may be impoverished, as
well as to produce thin stalk
The italian wheat blooms at the be-
ginning of June, and is pulled up by
hand, when the grain is half devel-
oped. Should it be allowed to remain
in the ground longer time, the straw
would become too brittle for the pur.
pose.
Uprooted straws, to the number of
about five dozen, the size OF the com.
pass Of the two hands, are firmly tied
together in little sheaves and slowed
away in barns. After that the straw
is again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach In the
sun. When the product has been suf-
ficiently bleached, 1t Is put into small
bundles and classified.

twilled or corded weave. Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed In conjunction with
satin, rich lace, and chiffon, this com
bination turning out the most fairy
like wedding frocks without great ex
pense. One wedding dress shown by
leading importer was of embroider-
ed batiste over satin. 1t was short,
with Dutch neck, and fairly incrust
ed with needlework. 1t was to be
topped by a broad hat wreathed with
white Grape morning glOries and
snowy roses in the same airy texture
The materials used show endless
shades of white, but pearl, snow-white
and a delicate cream are the most sat
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange
ment for the veil is to put it on after
the manner of straight gathered cur
tain, with the sides covering the
cheeks and the rest of the face un'
covered. The tulle or fine net used. is
left unhemmed and ii is shirred TO
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract
i've and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
would be needed for walking or trav-
cling. Here one Of the new cloths
with a rough finish is employed, the
color a delicate tan, with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plated with a closely
fitting yoke, and the upper part is a
species of polonaise, with the neck
rounded out and kimono sleeves cut
with the side portions of the bodice
White net embroidered with black
dots is used for the guimpe and under
sleeves. Any wool of solid nature
would do for this frock, and machine
embroidery may be bought for the
trimming IL the braiding seems diff
cult. The upper part Of the dress
could also be made of yelling and the
lower part of silk, and with this ar
rangement an embroidered guimpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But In seeking for a rich effect re-
member that a black note in the
trimming will always give it, and for
that matter, a gown in almost any
color might be trimmed solidly with
black and be In excellent style.

Apartment and Explains I'M
portance of Pockets.

Chicago.-A bad boy and small
fiat always are chums. If Johnny is
worse than ever these days, blame the
diIninutive apartment. 1t is all be-
cause he hasn't sufficient room to
empty his pockets.
Prof. Allan Hoben, of the homiletic
department of the University of Chi
cago, explained the Importance of
johns pockets In lecture on "The
Boy and the Modern City at Mandel
hall at the university. The only won
der is that fiat dwelling children are
not all refractory, said the professor.
The scientific exposition of Profes-
sor Hoben's theory is based on the
fact that boys carry in their pockets a
remarkable assortment of articles, in
GLIDING pieces of string. bits of brick,
small stones, sticks of chalk, gum, fish
hooks, souvenir buttons, penknives,
bird eggs, metal slugs. whistles and
mouth organs. If the possessor has
no chance to unload these objects a
detrimental effect upon his system en-
sues.
"A boy collects almost everything.
following the instinct of proprietor
ship and an idea that he will use the
things for purposes of construction"
said Professor Hoben. THE small fiat
usually has no provision for these
things, and thus the boy has no chance
to exercise his instincts In these d.
rections. Many flats are so small that
understand, the little dogs have
learned to wag their tails up and down
instead of sidewise.
Nervous deterioration from over
stimulation as the result If many
sights and experiences is another evil
of city life for the boy. The city boy
may have greater swiftness and So
phistication, but he lacks the ability
to apply himself to problem for any

HATS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE |
ton, Fabulous Prices for Artis-
tic Headgear.

The millionaire wife pays anywhere
from SIS to $500 for hat, and she
buys half a dozen hats or so every
season. The days are past when the
hat plays second fiddle. so to speak.
to the gown. The hat and the gown
are of equal Importance now.
How is it possible to put such a
price on a hat?" The question has
been asked a thousand times by aston
ished husbands who pay the bills, and
even by the women themselves who
buy.
Well, in the first place. the
plain hat itself is imported from Paris,
and costs the I1illiner from $40 to
s25, as against 81 to $40 only ten
years ago. This hat, though it fol
lows the prevailing fashion, and
though this fashion may VI ridicu-
slous in the extreme, is nevertheless,
artistic in lines and general form.
Perhaps it is desired that the hat
should be green. The artist mil
liner has in her employ a French
man whose business 1t Is to color
hats to any shade or tint that may
be wished. He brings his dyes from
Paris the pale, soft colors he uses
are to be had only in that city-and
has himself received his training
there. No American can do this
work
The trimmings and materials for
this hat are, of course, imported
also. A SIS imported feather may be
the body of the trimming. Perhaps
on the green ground it is decided that
pink and blue roses will harmoSize
best with the rest OF the wearer's
outfit. 1t is In deciding such things
as these that the art of the milliner
is called into play.
1t is a French woman, too, who
does the work ON small hats and
toqes. She has been a worker for
one of the famous firms in Paris
for Charlotte, possibly, or Georgette.
or Camille Rogers. If her specially
is sailor hats, she has probably been

Wreck Clue In Dead Whale.

Philadelphia,-A seven-year-old mys-
terry of the sea may be solved through
mishap to the German steamship
oallanza, which struck whale at sea,
nearly cutting the mammal in two and
disclosing a harpoon believed to have
been used by the little whaler James
T. Duncan, sailing out of Halifax,
which was lost in 1903.
The monster was firmly impaled
on the prov of the steamer and died
after terrific struggle. Nine men,
bers of the crew were let down to

The Ultimate Aim.

Life is given us primarily to develop character, to unfold and evolve the soul, and the physical organism, our body is the testing ground and gym nasium for it's development, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The ultimate aim, then, of living should be making the life beautiful within, which always insures loveli- ness without-the masterful conquest of the lower nature, the willing re- nunciation of trifiing and unnecessary habits; love of the true and perfect and avoidance of the untrue and i'm perfect; realization that whatever else others may do or be, that our con- scious universe will be made for and by ourselves. The key of life and the art of living are expressed in the words mastery and attainment. This can be done by right thinking, by finding our soul center. We will claim our divine birthright, our royal privi- lege of standing erect and free with brow barred to the white light of truth, veritable sons and daughters of God
