Modern Public Highways.

The people of the city are not the only ones who pay tax money for the building and improvements of streets and highways that never Is spent on the roadways. And this condition in the country gave John Winters a chance to say one of his occasional good things. It was a town meeting. The people of his vil- lage could not understand how the money appropriated for roads had vanished with such negative results. and some of them attended this meeting of the select men to dis cuss the matter.
 "Id just like to say one thing" he drawled, regardless of the fact that he had interrupted an indignant neighbor, q don't want to make any fuss whatsoever, but I'd just like to ask this honorable board of public highwaymen"-
 And that was as far as he got. A roar of laughter drowned his fur ther words and showed his efforts in the red faces of the highway men'-and. later. in the improve ment of the Aforementioned road way-Judge.

TWO PRETTY HOLIDAY GIFTS
Slipper Case or Sewing Bag Both Welcome and servIceable
 Present.

A slipper case and sewing bag are delightful holiday gifts, which are easily made and very useful to the receiver. They may be made from any stray pieces of bright-colored silk, linen. chintz, satin, denim or, in fact, any material of that kind; or, if desired. the slipper case may be de. veloped in pink-fowered cretonne bound with dark-green braid.
 The loosely gathered sewing bag has an outside flap, which contains the needle book, and a pretty fancy is to embroider the owners initials on the outside of the flap. Fancy brass rings are sewed to the upper edge, through which Is. run the ribbon which regulates the fullness about the top. and is used to hang it up by.
 The slipper case. which is divided into compartments and stiffened by means of cardboard interlining, re- quires seven-eighths yard of material P inches wide or five-eighths yard 36 inches wide; either with 2% yards of tape to bind and two hangers. The sewing bag needs IF yards p or more inches wide, with 2k yards of braid and seven rings.

Tooth in Woman. Luna.

Toledo, O.-By means of minute electric lamps, which made it possible to see down a woman's throat and into the lower lobe of the right lung, and to insert through the trachea exten- sible forceps, Toledo physician re moved fragment of tooth from the right lung of Mrs. G. Cole of Van Vert. and without doubt saved her life.
 Last February. while under the in- fiuence of an anaesthetic, Mrs. Cole had several. teeth extracted Shortly after she began to fail in health and her symptoms pointed. apparently. to tuberculosis.
 Certain aspects of the case indi- cated the possibility of a foreign sub stance in the lung and an X-ray exam nation proved that portion of tooth had slipped down into the lung.

 One of the new hat shops in the loop district has for its centerpiece and consuming attraction a pretty cashier. She is perhaps no more love ly than some of the other change-mak- CTS in barber shops, restaurants, and the like, but it is the manner in which she is staged" that makes her most striking. Her booth commands the store from every direction, and at no time Is the customer out of the in- fluence of her radiant features. h. stead of being caged she is framed like a picture.

BARGAINS IN CHEAP STUFF
Few Deft Touches Will FreeheiitIy Give Garment an Entirely Differ
 ent Appearance.

Often you will see real bargains In frocks and blouses on the ready made counter. Do not give one look at the cheap lace or trimming. or at the way the seams are finished, and throw it back. Buy your bargain, take it home and redeem and regenerate It.
 Cheap lace can be replaced by good; dainty tulle or net frills can take the place of cheap ruffies; seams can be restitched and coarse em- broidery worked over by hand. If the material and the cut justify your buy ing the garment at all, you can give it an individual touch that will raise the value of your bargain 75 per cent.
 And even where there Is nothing noticeably cheap or common about the garment, try to give those little extra touches; then you will be in no danger of meeting your new gown on another woman at the next street corner

ORATOR MADE GOOD
WAKES DESPERATE WHEN HIS
 AUDIENCE SHORES.
Forsakine Notes of Polished Speech, Embryo Webster Wakes Up Sleep Ing Convention and Sits Down
 Feeling He "ArrIved."

There is a young politician In New York town who has aspirations as an o-ator-and what young politician has not? Though still in the pinfeather stage of that art, he considers himself sufficiently near perfection in orig inality of thought and fiuency of ex- pression to seize every chance to harangue anything that can be com peiled to listen to him. Recently a convention for local nominations of the party to which the young fellow belonged was held in the town hall.
 One of the aspirants for the office of justice of the peace was then incum- bent, and. after much persuasion, he permitted the embryo Webster to place his name in nomination. For several nights before the convention met the orator sat up late, polishing of this nominating speech, inserting simile here, tacking on a trope there, and sticking metaphors into whatever clinks he could find to stick them.
 When the hour for nominations came he arose, made his way with i'm pressive slowness to the platform, drank about gallon of water with be- coming dignity, and launched into the oration in that soft, low tone your real orator knows so well how to assume. Then he warmed up and commenced throwing a few figures of speech at the convention, but the convention merely yawned in bored manner, and turned around and talked to the man behind 1t; then the orator light ly tossed over a bright little verse from a minor poet, but the-convention merely stretched resignedly and pull ing chunk of navy plug out of his hip pocket, consoled himself with a chaw.
 Then the orator, waxing desperate, flung all his rhetorical ammunition in lump at its head, whereupon most of the convention snored. At last, dis gusted. the orator, forsaking his notes, rushed forward to the end
 And, finally. I wish to say to you, gentlemen of the convention he con cluded, that the man have just put in nomination for justice of the peace has for the past two years filled that same position with an ability and hon esty that has been continued rebuke to his enemies and astonishment to his friendsi"
 And as the old building rocked un- der the yells that greeted this wind up, the orator sat down, feeling that he had at length arrived"
