DYNAMITING AND SOCIALISM.
Bditor Mena Star:

Edlt0r Mena star.
In regard to that mess Of crow
that the Appeal to Reason and
other unreasonable institutions and
men" got by the confession Of the
McNamaras, wish to say: DO not
criticise the work OF another un-
less your own wask--l- as good. DO
not tear down another's character
unless you are yourself without
blame. Always remember this. 1t
is easy to belong to an anvil
chorus, else there would not be so
many members.
Since there has been so many rot
ten decisions OF our courts and
frame-ups by a ruling class, why
should anyone be criticised for be-
lieving that the Mcnamara case was
frame-up2
I suppose that the other unreas-
enable institutions and men refer
to the socialistc institutions and
men refer to the Socialistc institu-
tions and men, but Mr.. Editor, re-
member this: That Socialism Is
either right or wrong, regardles Of
the guilt or innocence Of the Me-
Namaras.
In conclusion, let me say that if
another can carve better statue
or build better mouse trap, do
not let jealousy cloud your vision,
but compliment his genius. This
will not deter you from striving to
beat his efforts. You should thank
him for setting the example, and
then apply all your energy and
efficiency to produce a better ar
ticle.
Compare your circulation stature
with that of the Appeal to Reason.

USED this farmer
FOR A FOOT BALL
Two Mules Had a Gay. Time
With Him

EdWardsville, Illinois, Sept. Ii
Matthias Bast probably owes his life t.
the fact that he was kicked across a
haystack by two mules only three
times. The mules were situated on
opposite sides of the stack, and only a
faulty aim Of one mule prevented Bast
from playing a ping-pong role until
the mules tired out.
Bast has three broken ribs, frac-
tured collar bone and bruises and cuts
all over his body. He admits that even
with his strong constitution he would
have been able to make the strenuous
trans-stack trip but a few more times
The mules, which were becoming
proud Of their batting average, seemed
put out when they We're made to de-
sits from their exercise.
Bast owns a farm on which he rails
es mules. Two calves strolIed into
hte mule lot and Bast tried to coax
them out. They declined to be coaxed.
Bast decided to risk the mules and
went into the lot after the calves.
The mules, by a flank movement. in
tercepted him at the haystack. While
one stood guard the other mule went
to the other side of the stack. Then
No. /, taking careful aim, kicked Bast.
He described a graceful parabola over
the stack and alighted very conven-
venient to No. 2. The latter, anxious
to emulate his companions high ay-
.erage, catapulted Bast into No. Is
field of action.
No. /, perhaps overanXious to score
again, or afraid Bast would manage
to escape, fired qui ky at short range
with the result tina Bast fell short
from the destined aim. He lighed on the
top of the stack and chung there. feeb-
ly crying for help, until the mules
were driven away.

small bunch of very small red cherries,
and from beneath the satin cable the
little cherries lay all around the brim

There is decided preference for
the small flowers this season, which
are usually applied to the larger hats
in the form of close little wreaths or
made into shapes to simulate buckles.
This latter method was carried out

ly utilized, and while some of the
shapes are quite brimless, many show
the upright brim turned up sharply
against the crown. This brim and the
crown itself may be entirely covered
with the flowers, the trimming usually
consisting of an outstanding bow of
ribbon, or chou of maline placed at
the side or back. In some of the Ma
poleon shapes-those having the brim
turned up closely against the crown
is the front and the back-thc crowns
alone are covered with flowers. This
idea was used in smart French model

the crown entirely covered with dark
blue silk violets A twig of deep pink
roses was made to stand up at the
right side.

never to get wholly out of favor, are
being shown in many odd, irregular
forms. A smart little bat of this de
sign was of Leghorn braid, with a
two-inch edge of fine black braid.
Sewed TO the edge of the brim, all
around, so close together as to form
a SOLID band, were very small pale
pink rosebuds. The only other trim
ming was small black mercury wing
set at the side of the crown.

simple but effective idea in trimming,
seen on a white chip sailor shape in
an exclusive shop, was the use of an
inch-wide band made of closely pleated
white silk that was wired at each
edge. This was forced into large
round buckles placed at each side of
the crown, and through which was
run the folds of soft silk that encircled
the crown. Two pointed pieces of
the wired pleating, to simulate quills,
were run through the buckle at the
left, in a semi-upright position. An
other somewhat unique feature in
trimming, noted in the same shop, was
a padded roll of black satin, like a
huge cord, that was over an inch in
diameter. This was used on a large
sailor shape, also, ana placed on the
