Federals to follow a winding road to
the attack, but that was not Wallace's
style. Hoosier fashion, he charged
straight up the hill through the brush,
and this so surprised the Confederates
that they soon fed. Colonel Wallace
reported that they ran sixteen miles,
which is something Of n run for a hot
day In June. The historian LOSING
is authority for the statement that the
battle Of Romney had much TO do
with the evacuation Of Harpers Ferry
by the Confederates three days later,
as It alarmed General J. q. Johnston,

The Wheeling convention assembled
on the same day as the fight at Rom

of the mountains, and the people Of
that section Of Virginia were more in
sympathy with Ohio and Pennsylvania

state Almost Immediately after the
ordinance of secession was passed at
Richmond the movement for separa-
ton had started and now came to a
head in n convention in which prac-
tically all of the western counties were
represented. On June II this conyen-
tiOn adopted a formal declaration of

This Incident aroused almost as
much Of storm Of criticism in the
north as had the battle OF Big Bethel.
II was contended that to move train

try without slNirmlsh line, advance
ruard or some means OF gaining
knowledge OF possible ambushes dis
played poor generalship
In the meantime the war was also
opening In the west. Early In the
week there had been a fruihess con-
ference at ST. Louis between Governor
Jackson OF Missouri and General Lyon,
then In command Of the Union forces.
Following the adjournment Of this con
ference Governor Jackson had return

lamation calling on the citizens TO rise
and repel invasion. General Lyon was
equally decisive In his movements.

This illustration shows a simple gown
for general wear, in which many Of the
new features OF trimming are attract
lively figured. The narrow band outlin-
ing the yoke and sleeves. and the rows OF
buttons for garniture offer possibilities
which a clever woman can modify and
adopt to any costume. This dress may
be made in figured foulard. but will de-
velop well in serge or camels- hair cloth
for winter wear
There are a lot of fascinating new
materials for fall and winter wear. some
queer and many beautiful The newest
goods are the double-faced stuffs which
are turned in revers for ornamentation.
There are wool-back satins satin cash

Inns; there are stylish diagonals. light
serges. coarse tweeds, homespun. chew

ings In broad or narrow stripes.
The smartest OF autumn gowns show
plaid facings, newer than the ubiquitous
stripe, but not half so chic" Sashes OF
surah or soft satin are a decided innoVa-

either draped and fastened with stitches
around the high waistline, or carelessly

Latest Effects in Dress Trimmings

NEW YORK, Sept 2o.-Except for tho
marked widening Of skirts there is no
immediate change in dress outlines that
could be called Sradical but there are al
ways the ever-new touches and finish
tngs that give distinction to a costume
Perhaps the newest of such features Is
the crInoline sleeve, which spreads at
the elbow with crnoline or featherbone
The long shouldered effects are also
noticeable
The latest craze for simple trimming
Is for DEMONSTRATIONS of buttons
marshalad down skirt and coat, the
last straw" being the placing of buttons
down the hip seams OF skirts from belt
to hem. The home dressmaker will be
glad to know OF their coming popularity.
Under the evening lamp she may manu-
facture them by the dozen from the
merest scraps of brocade. satin or velvet.
Soutache braid is still the amateur mod
iste's best friend. so effective In quick
decoration! Three strands Just pleated
together in the old-fashioned pleat will
give a desirable edging wherever a braid
or cord can be used.
For coat suits adjustable collar and
cuffs OF white broadcloth are exceed
ingly smart for special occasions, and
they are marvelously becoming. whit,
corduroy and white serge are also In higf
favor.

It has often been said that it is useless
to tell the average American boy the
story Of great genius and of his sue
cess, because there is nothing in common
between them.
This is a great and curious mistake.
Every boy in the United States is born
with a great chance. He may take the
chance and win. Or he may shake his
head and say: NO, a quiet, easy life
for me" or we Cby which l mean So
clety) may bury that boy so deep in a
humdrum life that neither he, nor any
one else, sees the chance that belongs
to him.
But the truth OF the matter is
Every American boy has great op-
portunity.
This is the first fact you must believe
in, and stick to. and insist on. and look
for, and never lose faith in. and be true
to all the days OF your youth.
When this fact (and TRUTH Is firmly
fixed in your mind, what next?
BEGIN AND MAKE GOOD.
In these four words are expressed all
opportunity, all success all work and
all play.
They are short words, and easy for you
to remember.
II.
Now, about the genius:
To begin with, you rarely hear OF hin
until he is a great man, or until he IL
dead But the story of his life is so full
Of simple truths that apply to you, Oh
average American boy, that he is your
best friend and teacher.
What are these simple truths?
l. He believes in himself and in what
he wants to do.
2 He makes good his belief in doing
that is, in keeping busy
g. He never gives up.
l. He does not know what 1t means
80 finish" for he is always pushing
forward.
S. His motto is: Do it the best know
how.
g. He rarely thinks OF fame.
T. But always Of making good.
Now, these seven truths could be ex
tended TO seventy, and every one Of
them is a reasonable truth for you, aver.
