WARNING THAT WAS FAMILIAR
Grocer Man Used Formula That Made
Little Harry Long to Be
Fer Away.

Mrs. Jones savorite warning to her
young progeny when they were in mis-
chief was that she would tend to them
In a minute. Tending was accom-
plished by applying the open hand
where It would do most good. When
Harry was four years old he was sent
for the first time round the corner to
the grocery. In few minutes he came
trotting soberly back with the nickel
still In his hand, but no bag Of onions.

mother.
I'm fraid of the man." he said. sol
emnly.
"Oh, he won't hurt you," reassured
Mrs. Jones. Run along and bring the
onions. I'm in a hurry for them"
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner, and second time
returned without his purchase.
I'm fraid Of the grocer man." he
explained, as before
well, what makes you afraid of
him?" demanded his mother, impa-

times the guimpe and undersleeves

chaste simplicity. You may call the
quality maidenly. but If you know
what is what you will understand that
this appearance is only achieved by
the utmost art
A draped waist of the sort shown
In the illustration, Of course, is made
in some thin texture, suited to the
folding about the figure and to the ele-
gance Of the model. Chiffon, marquis
ette, yelling. chihton-satin, messaline,
mousseline, etc, are all desirable ma
terials. There are also many airy
fabrics of cheaper sort which, COM
bined with the right trimmings,
would turn out a dainty waist of this
kind with considerable dash-and
among these may be recommended
cotton and silk jacquard, cotton voile,
and fiowered muslin.
As pictured the waist is of chante-
cler red chiffon, and an edge of the
same about the decolletage of the
chemisette This detail itself is of
white mousseline, and the lace is of a
dull gold tinsel.

FIRST RAILROAD IN AMERICA
No Doubt That the Baltimore and
Ohio Has the Right to Claim
That Honor.

The earliest mention that is found
Of railways in the records Of congress
was in a bill introduced in the senate
April %. 1898, which authorized the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
to import into this country iron for
the construction Of a railroad. This
measure was laid on the table after a
debate, but subsequently taken up, or
dered to a third reading and passed.
In May. 1880, there was a debate in
the senate on the bill authorizing .
subscription by the general govern
ment to the stock Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad company. In 1884
another resolution was offered in the
house Of representatives and passed
the same day which empowered a com.
mittee Of manufacturers to inquire
into the expediency of allowing q re
bate on duty imposed upon iron i'm
ported for railroads to be used by q
state or by a company incorporated
by a state when It shall be ascer'
tained to the satisfaction OF the sec
retary Of the treasury that the said
iron is permanently laid on the road. >
Also in 1882 a Mr.. Davis of Massa
chusetts In a debate on a resolution
to print the report Of the British
house Of commons on the subject oi
steam carriages on railroads said that
he conceived the subject Of land
transportation by steam to be one o.
the greatest importance to the nation
They had seen the almost incredible
effects which 1t had produced on wa
ter carriage, and there was reason t.
believe 1t would be found still more
powerful by land"
On Saturday. September 20. 1884
the Boston and Worcester railroad
was opened from Boston to Yves
Hopkinton, twenty-four miles long

HANDY HOOK-AND-EYE BOX
II You Ever Hunted in Vain for Need.
ed Fastener, You Will Ap-
preciate This.

Have you ever hunted in vain for
the special size of hook and eye you
needed? If not. you are an abnormal.
ly neat woman, or one given to but.
tons or pins
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sepa.
rate hook-and-eye box forthwith. Then
you promptly forgot.
The next time Immediately hunt a
number Of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew hook and eye
to show the size and color within. Put
these envelopes neatly in a small box
and your miserable fishing days are
over. There should be separate hold
ers for cards of hooks and eyes, de-
tached ones that have not been used
and for those that have been ripped
from a dress, as is the habit of some
economical women.
Small boxes with the hook sewed or
pasted to the lid may take the place
of an envelope, but take up more room
and are less easily handled.

several weeks and left today for Los
Angeles. Mr.. Wrightson is 10 years
old, says the Denver Times.
Mr.. Wrightson went with the New
York Central in 1850. He fred for
three years and in 1868 was changed
over to the right hand side of the cab
He had two notable experiences in
his youthful days. When Abraham
Lincoln was smuggled into Washington
for his inaugural, the trip being taken
with the utmost secrecy because Of the
fear he would be assassinated, Wright

ed in that journey.

Mr.. Wrightson is secretary of thu
railroad legislative board of New York
He has been a member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers since
1864. While in Denver he delivered
an address to the members of Division
1856 of the brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. His talk was on the work

he is connected.

Watch Worn Like a Cuff Button.

Some of the smart new motor coats
have buttonholes worked in one cuff,
and in these cuff-buttonholes are in
serted tiny watches which are held in
place by a curved projection at the
back-something like the back Of an
ordinary collar button. 1t is much
easier to drop the eyes to ones cuffs
to ascertain the correct time than to
stop the automobile and take out a
watch depending from a chain or fob.
Another convenient watch is the desk
watch, which has thick back, slant
ed off toward the lower edge SO that
the watch rests at an angle Of 30 de-
grees, making it much easier to read
the time than when the watch face is
fat on the desk top.

Sleeves.

The kimono sleeve is being seen in
dresses and separate waists, also in
many coats
In dresses and waists there are the
bishop sleeve, the sleeve with little
fullness above the elbow and the reg.
ulation shirtwaist type.
Automobile and evening wraps show
both the peasant and the raglan
sleeve, but for street garments the reg.
ulation coat sleeve leads in favor.
For dressy costumes, the three.
quarter-length sleeve is fashionable.
In evening gowns the sleeve is elbow
length or shorter. In tailor-made
dregsea and waists 1t is full length.

the road has beel without a break
Forte doesn't make that exception,
because he says his army service was
in the interest Of the road, driving
away bushwhackeis who sought te
interrupt traffic. In point of service,
Forte is entitled t. the distinction OF
the longest record on the line across
the state. Next 10 him, as far as
known, is Foreman Allison of the sec.
tion at Sheibina, who began work in
1862. Allisons son, Felix Allison, Is
engineer of the Chicago Missouri lin
tied fast train between Chicago and
Kansas City.
Forte is In actual, vigorous every.
day service. He Is as strong as any

in keeping his section straight as any

As Is generally the case in such
large undertakings. there have been
some questionings as to which geo
graphical name should attach itself to
this new lake which will be added to
those of New York.
1t seems likely that the word Delta
has become inseparably associated
with the new lake and as its waters
bring out even more distinctly the tri.

ality seems not inappropriate. 1t has

NEW FASHIONS IN Wells
White Ring Dot Net With Rings In
Black, Are Very
Popular.

Stylish and becoming are wells Of
white ring dot net with the rings In
black and a filo black lace border to
match.
The winters veil shows large, oct
agonal meshes, sometimes plain, again
with big woven dots.
Care should be exercised in wear
ing the wells or the nose sticking
through the meshes gives a grotesque
appearance.
The most becoming veil is a fine
mixture Of black and white, tiny black
dots on white net being better than
white on black. These have become
known as the beauty veil because
SO many women wear them regardless
Of style.
Colored net wells to match hats are
shown in the shops, but conservative
women wear a black or white veil
more often than any other kind.

Ohia is the heaviest wood known
and is also one of the hardest. 1t is
a species of mahogany, very knotty

strength and durability is of the
