check once a month than dole out few

But the reason that he does it. and
why nearly every other husband does the
same thing is that his wife's having to

Chiffon Guimpe.

The plain chiffon guimpe. with or with
out the high collar, which has been so
popular during the winter, has gained
still greater favor this spring and IS en-
phatcally prominent on the new models
here.
A pretty girlish effect is gained when
the chiffon is slightly gathered at the

Striped Trimming.

Immense bows of black and whIte
striped ribbon in silk and velvet are
coming to be more and more popular
as trimming for smart millinery. In
fact, bows, whether of ribbon or wired
velvet, are one of the fads of the spring
and many of the late spring and sum-

immense bows placed on the top OF the
fiat crowns and in this manner making

Engaged Girl.
Miss BIN my opinion the man who
eXaCts ostracism from all other society
in the girl to whom he is engaged is
extremely selfish and not calculated to
make a generous husband.
l see no reason why young woman
should deny herself the calls of her men
friends because she has selected one of
them TO be her life companion. Neither
can I see any objection in accepting the
escort of a man friend TO a place of
amusement because OF the betrothal. OF
course, one could carry the matter too
far and make ones self the subject of
much criticism by accepting marked at
tentions from other men after the an
nouncement of an engagement TO one.
But reasonable enjoyment of the So
ciety of old-time friends will not be OBJ
1ected to by any other than an abnormal
ly jealous and unreasonable man.

None in the Senate Fits Big
Kentuckian Started for
the Job.

Washington, July 19.-Somebody
asked Speaker Champ Clark whether
he had yet seen "Senator" Ollie James
since his return from Kentucky.
"Indeed I have" responded the
speaker, "and your mention of him as
senator he is sure to be-
reminds me that he will use the second
special chair in the history of the
United States senate. Only one other
abnormally big man has ever sat in
that body. He was Judge David
Davis of Illinois, who resigned from
the supreme bench to go into the
senate, thinking it would be stepping
stone to the Presidency. -.t
They've got chairs over there of a
certain size, but made without regard
to such bulks as that of Judge Davis
and Ollie James. You may have
noticed that when Ollie has gone over
to the senate side he has always sat on
one of the broad leather sofas. Well,
that's because he doesn't fit into the
ordinary senatorial chair. He can get
into ours on the house side. We ex-
pect and prepare for the big men,"

EDOM ROBINSON
in SMASH-UP
Young Liveryman Has Narrow
Escape From Serious Injury
in Accident.

Edom Robinson, one of the proprie-
tors of the Miller and Robinson stable
had very narrow escape from serious
injury last Friday afternoon in an
exciting runaway on Main street.
Robinson was driving a fine looking
spirited horse. 1t had baked when
put in a buggy, so he had him hitched
up in cart and started out with the
idea of acquainting the horse with the
sight of train. Turning on to Main
street from the stable entrance the
horse became frightened at the train,
which was then passing ana in trying
to prevent him from getting away,
Robinson turned his head toward the
O'Neil fence at the Gates hotel. When
the smash up was eminent, Robinson
tried to get out, and as result was
thrown against and over the fence
into the O'Neil yard, sustaining long
cash on the back of his head. The
horse too was injured, but not seriously
one of his legs being hurt. The cart
was demolished.
Robinson was taken to the office OF
DR.. Bingham where the injury was

the upper camp Sunday morning for a
day of fishing along the creek. They
carried their fishing poles but from the
subsequent Developments, dynamite
was considered an easier way to bring
the fish to the surface.
When about two miles above the
upper camp, Virgins two companions
went up stream, some distant from
him, and suddenly they heard an ex-
plosion, and looking back saw Wig

hurried back and found their friend

Both hands were blown off. His
neck broken, and huge cash in the
breast left CHASTITY wound and the
heart could be seen beating its last.
Death was practically instant.
One of the grief stricken friends car
ried the news back to the upper camp,

however, that it was necessary to hold

it to Newport, where it was prepared
for burial and taken to his former

morning.
The victim of the accident was 80
