When he entered the room into which the sunlight poured of mornings he was glad to find his mother there. But an uu- easy. lonely look was in her placid eyes when he first saw her. On his arrival, however, the look disappeared. and she came purring towards her son. She had missed him woefuliy. she feared for him, for somehow she knew he had run away from their old bone. But TOW that he had returned she banished care and worry and patted and caressed him as though he were a six weeks old kitten instead of a half-grown cat.
 And on the floor was the bowl of rich, sweet milk, placed there by the janitor who had visited the room during Tsddlss' absence.

Ellsworth Foundry & Machine Works
Plans New Buildings.
The Ellsworth Foundry & Machine
Works is negotiating for a lease Of the
Shackford wharf lot and the Drinkwater
lot, adjoining its present property, just
south of the entrance to its lot.
The company is fast outgrowing its
present lot. There is no better equipped
yard in the State for hauling out and re-
pairing launches and yachts. Owners
have been quick to appreciate this, and as
result the business has grown rapidly.
In all, shout twenty-five boats will be
hauled out for the winter at this yard, the
largest being the eighty-five foot yacht
Eaglet. Only few months ago a new
boat house was built, and already work
has commenced on new one 126x32 feet.
A railway has already been laid.
The Drinkwater and Shackford lots will
give the company an additional area Of
55x100 feet, which it is proposed to cover
with garage Of the most modern con-
struction, fronting on Water street. The
present garage will then be available for
boat storage and repairs. It will be
heightened thirty feet.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Son of Alexander II. Gray Shot Him

self While Hunting.
Alexander w. Gray, aged eighteen years,
son OF Alexander H. Gray, Of Winkumpaw,
was found dead in the woods about two
miles from his home Monday afternoon.
A terrible gun shot wound in his groin
told the cause Of his death, and there was
every indication that he had shot himself
accidentally.
Young Gray left home Sunday after
noon to go to Green Lake, with his
brother. He was returning home Monday
forenoon, following wood road which
runs from George w. Patterns farm, skirt
ing the foot OF the mountain, and leading
toward Mr.. Gray's farm above Winkum-
paw corner. He was alone.
John Hubbard, following the same wood
road about o'clock in the afternoon.
came upon bloody trail which led from
q ledge, where he discovered gun, and
circled into the woods. Following the
trail eight or ten rods, he came upon the
body OF young Gray. Mr.. Hubbard car
ried the sad news to the family, which
was already becoming alarmed at the
boys absence, he having promised to be
home at 9 o'clock.
Coroner L. w. Jordan, who was sum-
moned and viewed the spot, says it is evil
dent to him that the young man had been
seated on the ledge, perhaps with the gun
carelessly resting against him. In some
manner the gun was accidentally dis
charged, the charge entering the groin,
severing the femoral artery. The boys
first thought was to try to reach home
and half unconscious he stumbled on the
few rods to where the body was found
He could not have lived more than few
minutes after receiving the wound.
Coroner Jordan deemed an inquest un.
necessary.

For CARRYING Mail.


Sioux Falls.-South Dakota has a
new inventor in the person of Charles
Maar, a well known farmer living near
White, in B~rookings county, who has
been notified by the patent office in
Washington that he has been granted
a patent or a mail carrying device of
his inventeion. The device is intended
for patrons of the rural free mail de-
livery routes who reside some distance
from the highways travelled by the rur-
al mai carriers. The device consists
OF an endless copper cable running
on a large vertical wheel at the house
and a corresponding horizontal wheel
at the road with necessary bracket
supports between. The cable carries
two mail boxes, 10 placed that when
n is at the wheel by the DAD the
other is on the wheel at the house.
When the carrier deposits the mail he
starts the box on its flight, and this
signals the house. BY means of a
crank and gearing the large wheel is
revolved and carries the mail box to
the house at a rate equal to eighty
miles an hour. The inventor expects
this device will operate easily and eff.
fectively at any distance up to a mile.

with nothing to obscure their lines or
shapes. Brims' and crowns that don't
match are among some OF the smart
est models. Black hats with brims Of
green velvet or Of kings blue or. coral
have the crowns OF black h%orsehair
and are trimmed with outstanding
bows or wings or feathers placed any
where but In the middle Of the front.
Center back trimmings are very good
style.
Smart tailors and dressmakers are
making great use OF the lovely silk
and wool poplins that come in an end
less variety of fashionable shades and
c~olortngs. These drape well and
indefinitely. owing to their wool I'LL
ing.
The e tailor -mades include frocks
as well as coat and skirt models, and
the use Of ~woolbacked satins and silk
and wool mixtures for this type of cos
tune will be a marked feature of the
coming season. Suit coats are short
and square cut, quite or nearly
straight under arm seams, and end at
the line of the hips as a rule, though
II that length Is u~nbecoming there
are short etons aud a few longer
models to select from. The etons are
decidedly loose fitting, though many
of them finish with a shaped band.
Serges and heather mixtures are first
choice for hard-wear costumes, and a
very dark navy blue serge Is again a
favorite for plain colored suits and
dresses. Pekin striped silk or cotton
is used for vests and collars and cuffs
on some Of the best models. The use
OF cotton and linen materials for
trimming purposes On wool and silk
dresses Is a marked fad this year.
Some of the little black satin suits
are very effectively trimmed with
black and white Pekin stripe, while
others are all black or have a thread
OF white In the rather wide braid
which Is used to trim them.
In sleeves there are long, short, ell
bow and t~hree-quarters length sleeves.
and you must remember when to wear
them. The long sleeve belongs to the
morning. the elbow or t~hree-Quarters
length sleeve to the afternoon and the
short sleeve is only worn In the eve
ming. For chiffon blouses. semi-tail-
ored coats and afternoon dresses the
shorter length sleeve Is very smart.
