THE MOST MODELLED
 WOMEN IN LONDON

London-EverybOdy who has seen the gorgeous trosseau of Lady Decies is wondering what the pretty American bride will do now that Queen Mary s ban has gone forth against hobble ef- fleets and tight skirts at the coronation. For whenever the young woman has appeared she has been remarked for the ultra -tightness of her American made clothes. English court matrons state that Lady Decies will be obliged to have an entire new wardrobe.
 The former Miss GOuld's wedding gown was made with regulation court train, however. with the coronation in mind Even it must be remodled to meet the almost Victorian prudishness of Queen Mary As for her other frocks, they were all cut in the tight hobble fashion.
 At the PunchestOwn races recently Lady Decies astOnished the Irish ladies by wearing draperies so tight that her husband was obliged tO help her up the grand stand stairway. While her gown was of brilliant silk, accompanied by a plume trimmed hat, others about her appeared in heavy tweeds and strictly walking hats.

HE STEERED A SAFE COURSE.

well known theatrical manager stopped to chat with a young woman he had not seen for a year
 When did syou come to tovn?" he asked pleasantly.
 Why, didn't you know am liv- ing here?" she asked.
 No. Is that so?"
 Yes. How strange that you have not heard of it. Surely you must have seen my husband"
 "Oh, yes, I have had several chats with him, but l didn't know that you had come over, too.''
 Do you mean to say that you thought" She hesitated then add ed indignantly: Such a thing is i'm possible"
 Anything is possible nowadays" the manager said consolingly. somehow he didn't happen to mention you. and never ask questions. I don't propose to take any chances I made a dreadful Dlunder once by asking about a mans wife who had been twice removed since l had met the husband last, and I promised myself then that l never would do it again."-New York Times.

THE ESSEN MYTH.

In public Ibsen was wont to as sume the same attitude of proud in- difference that Whitman voiced in his defiant: T do not trouble my spirit to indicate itself or to be un- derstood." And once, when planning to tell how some of his plays had come into being. he :las,ened to de- clrc: Of couase, l shall undertake no interpretation of my works-it is better that the public and the critics be left to disport themselves at their own sweet pleasure in that field"
 But in his correspondence with per sonal friends he showed repeatedly how he suffered from misunderstand- ing, miscOnstruction and, above all. from the insistency of friend and foe alike to read eSoteric profundities in to passages of unmistakable C:car- ness or utter inSignifiCance: as when meaning in the fact that Nora gives a whole crown instead of a half to the man who carries home her Christ mas presents. After reading some reviews of Peer Gynt Ibsen was moved to eXclaim that by the em- pIoVment of such methods, he could turn the works of any man into al- legorv from beginning to end"
 Now he can protest no more, nor suffer from the futility of his pro tests. writes Edwin Bjorkman, in the May Forum. But still the critics are disporting themselves as when he lived And still there stands like wall between the man and the mass of his readers what I might call the Ibsen Myth-a fictitious. sphinx like figure, surrounded by a world wide and assiduously supported rep utation for inherent, wilful obscurity of language and thought. In the false light of this myth the study of his work has come to be looked upon as an awesome task, forbidding and largely fruitless pursuit of evasivs paradoxes through mazes of am biguous and disguised and impish- ly distorted utterances.

FREE IF 1T FAILS
Your Money Back il You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine We
Dooo-..-.,I
Recommend

We are so positive that our REM
edy will permanently relieve consti-
patton, no matter how chronic it
may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine at our expense should it
fail to produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with ca
thartic drugs. Laxatives or cathar-
tics do much harm. They cause a
reaction, irritate, and weaken the
bowels and tend to make constipa-
ton more chronic. Besides their
use becomes a habit that is DANGER
GUS.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine or descending
colon. To expect permanent relief
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try ReXall Order
lies on our recommendation. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take,
being eaten like candy, and are
ideal lor children, delicate persons,
and old folks, as we'll as for the ro-
bust. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have a neutral &C.
ton on other associate organs or
glands. They do not purge, cause
excessive looseness, nor create any
inconvenience whatever. They may
be taken at any time day or night.
They will positively relieve chronic
or habitual constipation, if not of
surgical variety, and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic all
ments, if taken with regularity for
a reasonable length of time. IL

An Outrageous Ia iff Tax.

We have always maintained that
the wool schedule of our national
taxing system is simply indefensi-
BILE from the standpoint of justice
to the CONSUMER The tariff tax
paid on wooden goods amouts to
something over $100,OOOO0O annu-
ally. The total value of sheep in
the United States for the year 1909
aggregated only $192,523000. In
two years the tax levied to protect
the sheep industry will pay for
every sheep in the United States, Is
there partisan unreasonable
enough to say that such an outrage
on the consumer is right? Even
President Taft says the wool sched-
ule is "indefensible," yet when a bill
was passed by the house and SEN

Some Useful Hints.

Keep dry bran before your poul-
try at all times.
Don't neglect drinking fountains
now, as it is cooler If you do you
will have trouble.
= Save the cabbage heads for win
ter picking for your hens.
Dispose of all surplus cockerels
and all hens known to be drones
before cold weather.
Don't neglect to keep your birds
busy bad days by having plenty of
straw handy.

Look out for your males for next
seasons breeders; you may wait too
late and what you save in feed you
may lose in quality and also pay a
larger price, if not lose out alto
gether.
By all means, use thoroughbreds
and do not cross breed your stock.
Mrs. James A. Sta les. in the
the Missouri Ruralist.
Did you ever ask yourself why
you take a gun and dog and 90 out
and slaughter a lot of innocent
birds, that is, try to slaughter them?
1t can't be for profit because from a
financial standpoint it is losing
game. The average hunter will
tramp all day, get fired off the
farmers land, kill four poor little
birds and return home late in the
evening tired and foot sore. The
poor wife will dress the little birds
and prepare them for the hunters
breakfast. The sportsman begins
lying at the breakfast table next
morning and generally keeps it up
for some time. What sport is there
in the wanton destruction of the
birds? Honestly, is there any sense
in it?

The Deadly Tom Row.

the following, ever-timely, COM
ment and warning;
A town row is to a town what a
heavy frost is to vegetation Moth
ing willis a town like a town row.
Better have cyclone or an earth
quake or most any destructive visi-
tation than a have town row, for
when these calamities are over
they are over, and the people, ce-
mented together in closer fellow
ship by the common calamity, be-
gin at once unitedly and bravely to
repair waste places. Such people
under such conditions are invinci-
BILE and absolute masters of desti-
ny. But a town row distracts, dis
inteerates, destroys. 1t undermines
the foundation of things. Its sores
heal slowly Its scars last. Better
quit such foolishness. If you don't

Now For North Carolina"

Nov for North Carolina" will en-
body the wonderful story of the pro-

State, and appear in the National
Magazine for June. So great and so
radical haze been the changes during
the last generation that it requires
sixty-four pages to begin to do JUS
tice to it's enterprise and prosperity

"a prophet is not without honor save
in his own country" might be para
phrased to-day to the effect, that
"The glories of State are not with
out admiration and honor abroad,
while not duly appreciated at home"
North Carolina is indeed an empire
in itself. The coastal district, with
it's canals and lumber interests, has
always been associated in Northern
minds with the old schoolboy phrase
of "Tar, pitch and turpentine," and
too little with the fisheries Of the

tio1s of a light but generous sort.

The farmers and farm population
of North Carolina are increasing, and
the comparative isolation of planta-
ton days is passing away. With in
