NOT ENDORSED SOUTH.

The attitude Of the governor of Georgia and the people of Atlanta to- ward Peary was a surprise to him as it was to the whole country. Governor Brown declined to introduce Peary to his audience. and in a letter of expla- nation issued to the public, said:
 Tt is up to Peary to explain how Cooks story can be false and his tden- tica1 story can be true. The American peooIe will not accept his smile as proof that he is not as great a falzir as he charges Cook to be. Peary and Cook tell the same stories about fnd- ing the pole and, like the Siamese twins, they must live together or de together"
 Peary did not have large audience; and when it was all over he simply said that had he known the feeling in Atlanta he would not have booked to lecture there.
 The demand having been made that Cook should prove he had been there, there can be no serious objection to the same conditions being applied to Peary. Congress had a right to re- quirs proof-Commander Peary had a right to withhold it-but if national recognition and reward are essential to his fame. he should have hastened to furnish the evidence upon which con- gress must base it's action.

An Editors Discovery.

Everybody, if they meddle around this country long enough, will make bad break. I've got mine. In rash and unguarded moment I an nounced that my longing desire was to lead mob that would hang the fellow who invented the Nobody loves fat man" post card. Bitterly have I regretted that sad event. In- toxicated with egotism and swelled up with cOrpulence I had the wild idea that I would crush the whole world with a few coarse words But, alasi How little I knew the temper of the populace Since that foolish vcw my mail has contained nothing but old fatty" post cards. They are even poked in under my door by night and slipped into my overcoat pocket in the day time. They are enclosed in enve- lopes to fool me and hidden in my daily paper. Even my eyes kaye taken to fooling me. When I start to look at the funny pictures in the paper, these pictures begin to change in stantly and I see nothing but a string of Nobody loves fat man." I know that I am a goner- I saw a couple of the deacons in my church looking at me the other day, and they were whis- pering. That means my finish. I am at the mourners' bench and sobbing out my penitence, but the heart of hu- manity has turned to stone. Post cards don't 1ie.-Oshorne lKan.l Farmer.

In its orig fnaI state it was only of silk, but now it is manufactured in cotton, in silk and cotton, and in silk and wool. It Is both embroidered and printed, and woven in two colors of iridescent.
 And other maerials have undergone the same metamorphosis. There are shedwater foulards, crepe, cashmere iridescent, satin-faced and silk and cotton fourlards. A marvellous array. and not one of the family may be neg lected, for each has its own claim to beauty.

The Back of Gown.

 The back of a gown should, if possi- ble. look better than the front. Al most anybody can look well in front but how many rear views of frocks are perfect? Also it is a fact that the back is usually more carefully scrutinized than the front. It is seldom possible to search the front of a costume for de- tails while the wearer is looking al one.
 So it is with evident pleasure thai women study the back of a gown at an afternoon tea or on a shopping tour. Moreover, it is harder to conceal bad lines and a poor figurer in the back than it is in front. There is less chance for kindly fulness and shielding dra- perry.
 So 1t is we'll to select ones dress maker upon this basis, that she is ca pablo of turning out frocks perfect 1T the back, and, once such a frock is pos sessed, it is wise to hold daily com munion with ones handglass wher donndng it.

 Then the half breadth that is folded should be turned back and the cloth will hang even-

Velvet NeckIet.

With the low-cut blouses and the
 Dutch necks dominating waist styles,
 women speedily discovered the attract
 iveness of the velvet ribbon band about the throat. A distinct novelty embodying the idea is the band made over a thin strip of spring steel. This can be sprung around the throat on the same principle as the trouser guards that the cyclist used to wear. Most of these are ornamented with bows or buckles or tiny pendant tas- sells and give a distinctive touch to the costume.

HeideIhura Carrots

Wash and scrape three medium sized carrots, cut into pieces about an inch and a half long, then into slices 1engthwise, and then again into thin strips about like matches (cutting them in thin round slices is just as well and possibly better).

AN EXPENSIVE SYSTEM.

Commissioner MacDonanld still be- lieves in the Connecticut system of building roads, and he has opened the road season and also the season of 1910 politics by asserting his belief that the state is getting all that 1t is Willimantic he is quoted as having said. '"rhe system is all right Con necticut is a conservative state. We want to go slow, but be sure we are right. With an appropriation of S4,500,000 to one million population Connecticut is putting more per capita into road building than any other state in the union today. This scheme of roads is not laid out for certain few. This money is going to be spent in all parts of the state and not in any one or two small areas. No clamor or criticism is going to make me spend this lot of money until I am satisfied that I know I am going to get full value for it. This money was appro priated for a specific purpose-to be divided equally around all sections of the state.''
 Mr. Macdonald has put the financial end of the road questions more force full than we have ever seen it before. When he shows that Connecticut is spending $4.50 per capita for the build ing of good roads he brings the prob lem right home to the taxpayers, for $4.50 per capita means very much more than that amount per taxpayer. The Ansonia Sentinel.
 The fact that the building of good roads is expensive Is no new diseov- cry; and it has long since bssn decided that they are worth all they cost to the community. But the tax is upon the wealth of the state, and this per capita does not mean that the small househ older with a wife and five chil- dren is paying $31.50 as his portion of the expense, since he knows well enough that his entire tax is not two thirds this average amount These averages are all right in a way; but all wrong when misinterpreted- State Highway Commissioner Mcdonald is going right on building good roads, and he is going to see that the contractors do not palm off ''bum'' work on the state, and that autonobilists with their heavy machines and high speed do not tear these roads to pieces without bearing a full share of the expense.

This good old mother in Israel is not the only person in Norwich who feels that with reference to juvenile care the municipal government should be more paternal-that children be- twesn 6 and 12 years of age should be under some restraint.
