Chicago Experts Tell How to eu.to,
Wife's Dress.

Wlfe'8 Dress.
A worried husband has appealed TO
Chicago newspaper on the better
way to button his wife's dress whetll
er to begin at the top or bottom. One
expert handed him this advice:
n have button ed my wiras dress
for a few years and find that buttons
ing 1t down the back is much better
than buttoning it up the back. If yen
start at the top and go down you
gradually get to the tightest part of a
womans dress. around the waist.
while If you start at the waist line
and button upward the hooks or but
tons are liable to come off the dress
before you get started
Another: THE best way is to begin
at the waist line and when you get
one or two buttons set the rest is
easy. If you begin at the top it gets
harder all the way down.
A third says. II make my wife bend
over backward and begin in the mid
die Of her back and work both ways

This year Argentine will raise 15O, ,OOO, ,OOO bushels of wheat on it's plains and will send to Europe from its pampa ranches 3,OOO,OOO sheep and 2,OOO.00O quarters of beef in the form of frozen or chilled meat, aot to mention 1000 tons of ''jerked" beef, dried in the sun
 The grain growers of the Argentine can place wheat on Liverpool steam CTS at a lower price than it can be loaded for upon the lake steamers at Duluth and they can stow away car casses of beef and mutton in refriger- ator ships more cheaply than our western ranchmen can land livestock at Chicago or Kansas City. The country is celebrated for the quality of its fieeces, as well as for its hard and beautiful woods, so useful for ve- neering, which are not to be found anywhere else in the world except in Central America
 The development of the resources of the Argentine is proceeding as fast as it can be pushed by an energetic and enterprising people, the republic being really under the management and control of about sixty families of Spanish descent These families are highly cultured, enormously wealthy and very closely tied together by re

SAILORS WEIRD TALE
MARINERS ARE RESCUED FROM
 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.
Three Shipwreeked Sailors Perish of Exposure in Open Boat Before Barren Island Described by
 Jules Verne Is Reached.

Albany, West Australia.-Three of the crew of the British freight steam ship Parisiana were lost when the vessel burned at sea. The survivors arrived here on the steamship British Transport, which picked them up on St. Paul Island, to which they es- caped in their own boats-
 The Parisiana sailed from New York for Melbourne. She carried a cargo of merchandise but no passen- gers. Fire broke out in the hold. For four days the crew fought the flames, but the job. was too much for them and when the vessel had approached St. Paul Island, the men took to the boats The ships papers were lost.
 From their island refuge the sailors attracted the attention of, the British Transport.
 The survivors unfolded a tale of ad- venture when they had somewhat re- covered from their sufferings. For two days they were at sea in open boats, and then followed twenty-three days on a barren island. Captain Gordon and his thirty-four men got away from the burning vessel in such haste that only the thermometers of the ships equipment were saved.
 The sea was running high and the air bitterly cold. The men were pro- tected only by the clothes they wore and suffered intensely. For hours the sailors battled desperately, then one of their number toppled over dead from the cold. For time the body was retained in the boat, but later when there was no immediate pros pect of reaching land it was dropped overheard.
 A few hours later second member of the crew succumbed, and short time before the volcano that rises S60 feet on St. Paul Island was sighted, a third sailor gave up the fight. These two bodies were brought ashore.
 The men discovered the stone house on the north side of the crater which was built in 1893 and filled with pro visions by the crew of the French warship Eure. Here they found in cans preserved meats, biscuits, wool en underwear, blankets and matches. Upon these supplies they subsisted and kept themselves fairly warm for three weeks.
 St. Paul Island is the mysterious island" described by Jules Verne in his story of nearly half a century ago.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS SHOCKED
Teacher Requested to Put Robe on Her Psyche at Bath of Figure
 of Spring.

Dunlap, Neb.-There is trouble brewing in school district No. 43. and all because the teacher, Miss Miranda Paul, and the three directors. B. N. Nelson, L. B. Goodman and A. A. Rath cannot get together on just what con- stitutes art
 District No. 43 is just in its swad- ding clothes, having been carved out of some other districts. A new school house was erected last summer and Miss Paul is teaching the first term. The other day she went down to Sid ney and returned with a small statue of Venus and some pictures. one being Return of Spring" and another Psyche at the Bath"
 With appropriate exercises, the school participating, Miss Paul in- stalled her Venus upon a pedestal and hung her chromos on the wall. When the children went home that night they told their parents and in due time the news reached the three di- rectors.
 A day. or two later they swooped down upon the schoolhouse while school was in session. viewed the statue and the pictures. and, shaking their wise heads, went away.
 The next day Miss Paul received a letter from the trio in which thSS stat ed that. after looking at the art dis played in the "schoolhouse in District No. 43, Garden county, we as direct ors are convinced that the same .1 in- furious to the morals of the youth of the said Garden county. Therefore, if you, Miss Paul, desire to continue to keep the said statue and the pictures in the schoolroom, you must drape them in order to hide their nakedness. But, we would recommend that the statue that you call Venus be replaced by one of Bryan. Roosevelt, Grant, Lincoln or Washington. We think any one of these would be more ap- propriate."s

 The pampas of Argentine are grassy plains extending half way across South America from the Atlantic ocean-plains without trees, lakes or rivers. So flat is this region that the horizon is less than three miles dis tant from the viewpoint of a man walking. Thus the limit of view is very small, and it is said that people born on the pampas, when first they visit a mountainous district, expert ence painful sensations from gazing upon the widely expanded earth around them.
 The vast plateau of Patagonia is chiefly valuable for sheep raising. It seems strange to learn that the sheep reared in that part of the country never see water They do not drink. but depend upon succulent plants for such moisture as they require.
 The women of the Argentine are the most beautiful in the world Those of the well-to-do class are well educated, being taught by governesses up to the age of eleven or twelve, when they are sent to Europe to be finished.

COMPOSED IN WINDING SHEET
Now Chopin Had inspiration for Mar. vicious Music of His Funeral
 March.

M Elem, the veteran painter, gives | picturesque account in the Annales Df Paris of the inspiration sought by Chopin for the composition of his fa- nous Funeral March," afterward in serted in his piano sonata in flat minor.
 Mir Elem, who is now aged 90. re- lates that when little more than a boy, after a dinner party in a friends studio he had the idea in fit of high spirits to bring from a cupboard a skeleton. The Prince de Polignac, who was of the party, insisted in plac- ng the skeleton on music stool and guiding the bones of the fingers over the keys of the piano. This was in the romantic '30s, and the savor of the exploit was much appreciated
 Not long after Chopin called on M- Leim, s.to seek respite after an appall- Ing night passed in a struggle with ghosts that had stroked him, had twined round him and sought to entice him to the underworld" The recital of his nightmare recalled so NJ. Elem the piano performance by the skeleton and the Prince de POlignac-
 Chopin shuddered. then he asked: Have you a skeleton?" M. Zeim had not, but promised to obtain one that very evening"
 Then" he goes on, what had been pnly a frolic became something grand, agonizing, terrible Pale, his eyes burning with fever, Chopin wrapped himself in a long winding sheet as he sat at the piano held against his bosom the skeleton. the specter Of his sleepless nights
 .In the lugubrious silence the notes streamed from the piano, broadly, slowly, overwhelmingly-an imagined music-the Funeral March, It was created there before our eyes, and IL dragged our souls into unholy rhythm
 .Then the strains died down We rushed toward Chopin. He had put forth so prodigious an effort that we thought he had tainted in his wind ng sheet"

The Home Voice.

Have you ever noticed the close re- lationship between the home voice and the home atmosphere? And as the atmosphere is the sensitive, in tangible thing, it is affected by the voice, not by the atmosphere.
 If the head of the house, whether it be the husband or the wife, has a whining voice, the atmosphere of that home is apt to be depressed. Every thing is limp, so to speak, and spine less. Even the draperies hang in de- jected folds. Nothing ever is right or bright or cheery. The home is a cen ter of complaints.
 In the home where the dominant voice is gruff or surly, an atmosphere of antagonism seems to prevail No body seems to want to do what he ought to do. His manner implies a protest, sulky compliance
 Take again the patronizing voice in the home, the voice that conde- scends to tell the others what they should do. The family sit uneasily under it. There is a feeling of sub jection in that home, lack of indi. viduality.

HER PERsIsTENcY WINS OUT
Young Lady Who Wished to Have Young Man Gall on Her at Length
 Has Her Own Way.

A young lady who had the reputa- ton among her masculine friends of being too persistent, called up one of them on the telephone last Monday night, and the following conversation took place:
 Hello. is that you, George? Can't you come over tonight and see me? I've got lots to tell you"
 George-Well, no, I can't. I'm aw- fully sorry, but I've got tickets for the opera and couldn't possibly give them up. Thanks just the same.
 She-How about Tuesday night? I want to see you terribly.
 George-Well, no, can't come Tuesday night either. My sister is giving a party and I've got to be there.
 She-Could you come Wednesday night, then? I've an engagement, but want to see you so much that I will put it off
 George (hastily)-No. no. wouldn't have you break an engagement for me for the world.
 She-Then do come Thursday. You see, I happen to have a free week, and can see you most any night
 George-Well, on Thursday -er- you see, on Thursday, To, hang it all, I'll come tonight.-Lippincot

Neighborliness is one of the good qualities of the people of Greenwood townsbip. Columbia county. About 50
 men and women of the township re- gently gathered at the home Of the Misses Agnes and Mary HeacocK' aged s4 and 80 years, respectively and held a wood-cutting bee. There were 23 men in the party and. every one of them pitched in with vim to Iay in a supply of irewood for the aged ladies. The men of the party Immediately started for the woods' while the ladies, who had all brought baskets loaded with edibles. repaired to the house and proceeded to prepare a dinner. While some of the men were chopping down trees others were uniting up a circular saw and attach ing it to a gasoline engine. In this manner the work was quickly accom- pIished and the saw was soon running full blast. Enough wood was stored and piled up to last for more than year. Another surprise in store was brought to light when the baskets which the women had brought along were opened. Everything that the old ladies could possibly be in need of was there. and more too.-Philadelphia Record.

The PartIsanshIp of HIstorIans.

Every historian likes to be impar- tial; but how can an Englishman be expected calmly to weigh and adjust the motives and methods of the Span ish in the Armada? What biographer of Lord Nelson appreciates the disci- pline and strategy of his French and Spanish opponents? What Frenchman feels that the German campaign of 1906 was causeless assault upon a weaker power? War breeds war; the conqueror feels the need of maintain ing his reputation, and the conquered seeks revenge. Then tho incidents of warfare in the field leave an inefface- able mark of savagery, writes Prof. Albert Bushwell Hart; so that for de- cades women in western Europe terri fed their whimpering children into silence by the threat that the Greats would get them. There are parts of central France where the brutality of the Angevin kings of England is still remembered af+A- siv centuries
