was in GAINESVILLE that the Cy-
clone which destroyed so much
property and killed several
people took place. The day
after he noticed a man with a
funny trunk marked ''Pathe's
Weekly" so remembering that
the Palm at home always run
this news film each week, he
was interested at once, and pro-
,eeded to watch ope rations. He
watched the man while he took
the pictures of the disaster, and
since Pathe's Weekly No 40 is
announced for Monday, he will
have a chance to see the very
pictures that the Pathe Oper-
ator succeeded in getting at
Janesville. The weekly ap-
oearance of this News Film is
getting more popular each sue

subjects that are exceedingly

How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: When
l was a cabin boy l often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands OF
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day a squat answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was a hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out OF
empty space over a hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a
storm a long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under It,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going."-New York Trib-
une.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, ODD q
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter-
view.
MUNYON'S Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. Ihey
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they DO
not grippe, they do not weaken but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
c~orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. Nc woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
l had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the: bowels
to act without physic.

HITS IN NEW MODES
HIGH-WAIsTED SKIRT AND SHORT
SLEEVE FEATURES.
Easy Way to Make Over Last Years
Skirt So 1t viii Be Becoming
AS Well AS FASH
ionable.

There are two features in the new
spring fashions that should be CRATE
fully received. One is the high
WASTED skirts; the other is the short
| sleeve. We wonder what we can do
to last years skirt so that it will be
becoming as well as fashionable. This
much we can do: we can match the
material and extend the waist by
means Of a shaped belt stitched to the
skirt, that will give at least a sem
blance of a high-waisted skirt and
keep us from the necessity of adding
a separate belt with buckle.
When making the new skirt for
spring and summer, it is well to know
they will be cut from one to two
inches above the normal waistline and
that they will be fastened at the side
of the front. A four-gored pattern
will be used, which brings a wide
panel down the middle of the front
and back, which can be converted in
to q box plat, If one desires.
The fastening is at the left Of this
wide front panel or gore, which shows
that the habit back will be continued
in Iavor. On white linen skirts as
well as those of khaki and duck, the
fastening is with buttons and button
holes, and on the cloth skirts it is
with glove clamps or hooks-and-eyes.
The skirts are mounted on a wide in
side girdle made of wide betting, with
slight darts at the side to fit the curve
of the figure. This gfrdle holds the
entire garment in place; 1t keeps the
seams in a straight line and prevents
the skirt from sagging away from
the blouse. The short sleeve Is to be
very much the fashion, If the advance
styles continue in favor. 1t will not
be worn to the exclusion of the long
sleeve, for the latter Is shown on
many of the best gowns, cut to a
sharp point as far as the knuckle, and
closely fitting the arm from shoulder
TO waist. All the peasant waists, the
eton and bolero jackets and many Of
the expensive wash blouses have
small straight seams that end at the
elbow. The little coats that are com
ing in are exceedingly jaunty and
very becoming. Straight, untitled
models are plentiful and all sorts of
little garments that fasten with one
big button somewhere between the
throat and the waistiine. One coat

BoRDERED FABRICS IN STYLE
Offerings in Some of the Spring and
Summer Goods ls
Beautiful.

The return of the bordered fabric Is
one of the modistic occurrences on
which we can generally rely each
epring. The offering IN some of the
spring and summer goods is beauti-
full.
If you are contemplating a silk gown,
there will be shown some lovely ef-
fects Of the weaver's art. Not only
are there striped effects, but plain
silks can be enhanced by checked Dor
ders, bands in exquisite Persian de-
signs, and notified lowered effects that
are decidedly new.
These silks come exceptionally wide,
so that the question of the skirt is
practically solved. For very tall WON
en- the convenient yoke effect comes
now to the rescue.
Bordure effects come now in the
eyer-popular marquisettes and voiles,
and they still are shown in ginghams
and lawns. These soft materials can
be made on the straight idea. the full

MADE HIS ESCAPE IN TIME
Metaphors of Millionaire Found No Re-
sponse In the Breast of the
Farmer.

The millionaire accepted the farm
er's cordial invitation to ride, and with
much scrambling gained a seat on top
of the hay.
MY good man." said the millionaire,
patronizingly, this swaying, rolling,
sweet-scented divan is a couch upon
which | could win slumber and be ir-
resistible to the arms of Morpheus
whenever l courted sweet sleep"
The farmer stiffened. "Ill hear no
more of your talk; I'm a respectable
married man, an I'll ask you where
you're goin' SO l can avoid the place"
Dreamily the millionaire smiled.
I'm getting back to Mother Nature,
who has been outraged and abused by
me for years; l am a broken man,
and she will forgive me and bring me
back to health"
The farmer stopped the team and
pulled a three-tined pitchfork from
the brace socket-but his passenger
was gone.-Success Magazine.

BRAID FOR SUIT TRIMMING
Much Favored in Nearly All New
suits-Buttons Also Much In
Evidence.

In nearly all the new suits the
favored trimming is braid, especially
the wide braid, which sometimes
forms the collar, cuffs and revers, and
trims the skirt as well. Panels Of
braid coming down the front and
back of the jacket, and continued in
the same way on the skirt, are dis
tinctly the thing .
Narrow braid is also very smart,
especially when worked out In orna-
mental designs on the skirt and coat.
A touch of color is added by orr
entail embroidery on the collar,
sleeves and revers. There Is merely
a hint of this, and it is not allowed to
become too prominent in the color
scheme.
Buttons are also very much in evil
dence, some of them Of the same col
or as either the suit or the trimming,
or as both, and some of them silver
or gilt. These latter are very small.
quite tiny. in fact.
In general, however, the new suits,
except the elaborate satin ones, are
rather plain, comparatively little
trimming of n sort, outside of
braid, being seen.

Preventing a Disturbance.

Colonel Scotchem was weary. He
had had a very arduous day retreating
from the enemy, and he wished to re-
coup his strength in order that he
might retreat still further IN the NOR
row.

servant, I'm going to snatch forty
winks' sleep. Stay in my tent and
see that I'm not disturbed"
Mac saluted. Five minutes later the
shores of Colonel Scotchem were cut
short by the loud report of a gun.
Great Scott" cried the colonel.

PUT YOUTH ON HIS GUARD
Evidently Recital of Romances Long
Passed Made No Appeal to His
Feelings.

"Charles," said a sharp-vofced wom-
an to her husband in a railway car
riage "do you know that you and l
once had a romance in a railway car
riage?"
Never heard of it." replied Charles
in a subdued tone.
II thought you hadn't; but don't you
remember, it vas that pair of slippers
1 presented to you the Christmas be-
fore we were married that led to our
union? You remember how nicely
they fitted, don't you? Well, Charles,
one day when we were going to a pic
mic you had your feet upon a seat.
and when you were not looking l took
your measure. But for that pair Of
slippers l don't believe we'd have ever
been married"

Collars,

The wide futed ruchings Of a season
or SO ago, which grew gradually more
and more narrow until the past winter
they were only a bit of cord, have now
disappeared altogether and the new
high collars have simply a fold of gold
or silver, or perhaps a bit of con-
trasting material to finish them.
In the cream white collars this
touch Of contrast is usually given by a
bit of black close to the throat, but
this is a trying style, and a more be-
coming effect can be gained by putting
a fold of old rose chiffon or a double
fold of tulle at the top of the collar,
while the bit of gold braid or silver is
also both pretty and becoming.
High collars will continue in favor
until after the spring season, but
summer will bring the collarless frock
into vogue again.
