President Taft, Theodore Roose-
velt and other men of national
reputation.
What the future may have held
in store for him we can only
dream. In the judgment of a
Higher Judge he has finished his
his labors here, just at a time at
which to his friends he seems to
be most needed.
In the death of Judge Madison
the state and more especially the
district which he represented,
has lost valuable man and one
whose place will be hard to fill.
Nearly every resident of this
county knew Judge Madison, and
it was with a feeling of regret
that they received the intellige IL
ce of his death.
His wife, three daughters and
one son. his mother and two bro.
theirs survive him.
The funeral services will be
held Friday afternoon at 200 p.
m. at the Presbyterian church,
Dodge City, Kansas, conducted
by Rev. Thompson. who is an old
friend of Mr.. Madison.

our library during the past week.
Orders have been placed for six

The attendance of the school
for the. first two weeks has been
excellent. Perhaps no other
factor enters into and plays such
an important part in the organi-
cation and system of school, as
attendance. There is nothing
so discouraging to a teacher as
to have portion of the class
missing and irregular. Parents,
do all you can to keep your child
rem in school all the time and YOU
may rest assured that the teach
er will appreciate your effort.
If it is necessary for your child
to be absent be sure to send an
excuse to the teacher, and also
kindly explain the cause of abb
sence.
1t is with considerable salts

of "Meade high school" listed by
the state among those schools
that have met the requirments
of the Normal training course
and also the Industrial course.
This should be of special interest
to the young people of Meade,
who are planning on teaching
within the next few years. Ac-
cording to the state law, in the
year 1917, all Kansas teachers
must be graduates of some ac-
credited high school. The stu
dent who takes advantage of the
Normal training will not only
meet this requirement but will
also receive a state certificate
that will enable them to teach
for life in the state of Kansas
without further. examinations.

Freaks Married on Sight.

M'leansboro, ILL.,, July 8.-A cor
respondence following an ADVERTISE
ment for husband resulted today in
the marriage of Miss Nelly G. Lowery,
% years old of this city, and William
T. Beckham, % years old of Woolum,
Ark.
The buxom bride weighs 800
pounds and her husband, though six
feet tall, weighs but 100 pounds.
1t was stipulated in the correspond
ence that after the couple met if they
did not like each others looks that
their marriage should be voided.
Miss Lowery met Beckham at the
railroad station this morning and said
she was thoroughly satisfied with his
appearance. He was satisfied with
her, too, and so they were married
by the Rev. Clarence Hodge, pastor
of the First Baptist church, and de-
parted for Arkansas.

hundred and fourteen members of

The St. Louisans came here on a
special train and were on their way

The train was forty-five minutes
late but the visitors took full hours
time to eat at listen to the speeches.
The train was met at the station by

although the ruling of the department
is against the syndicate it is not inn
probable that the President by secret
order last October opened the harbor
fronts of Controller Bay to acquisition

the syndicate may still have a coal

portation, and it will look like case

ployees are allowed two hours for
luncheon. Everybody seems to take
things easy, there is no rush and hurry,
no noise.
Small speciality shops are plentiful
and they cater more to visitors han to
residents.
Windows in the main streets brim
with novelties in leather, silver, gold,
ivory, etc.
Monogrammed h~andkerchiefs most
beautiful in effect, are made to order
for very little money. Americans can
learn a thing or two from German folk

applies to leather goods.
Scarfpins and cuff-buttons to match

with imitation amethysts, sapphires
and rubies. at $7.75 a set. In America
they would meet with great favor at
SIS to $40.
Americans need not worry about
their manner and method of store
keeping. The stores in America are as
far ahead of any department store in
Germany as the 1911 model automobile
is to the make of two decades ago.

CUCUMBER CUPS.

To make cucumber cups pare large,
we'll shaped cucumbers, cut each in
four pieces ,crosswise. and cut a slice
off the two ends so that they will stand
cuplike; hollow out the centres, stand
the cups on a few leaves of lettuce and
fill with the tartare sauce, arranging
the leftover bits of cucumber at the
base.
To prepare the sauce set a bowl on
some pieces of ice and put into it a
tablespoonful each of mustard and salt.
with two of sugar and a pinch Of
cayenne; drop in the yolks of two eggs,
stir until mixed and begin whisking
with a wire whisk while you add slow
ly a gill of olive oil, diluting, for fear
it should become too thick, with three
~teaspoonfuls. gradually. of vinegar.
When ready to serve add a teaspoon
full each of chopped apers, pickles,
parsley, olives and shallots and a few
drops Of tarragon vinegar. Those who
go in for changes may like this better
than the ever-delicious plain French
dressing -four tablespoonfuls of olive
oil beaten with pepper and salt, and
then, still beating, a tablespoonful of
vinegar, drop by drop, on thinly-slicsd
cucumber.

COMPARED with American mer-
chants those of Berlin are still
in the Abe class; from every
standpoint the American store is
better; beginning with the display
of goods to the selection and finish
of a transaction, the American method
is simpler and better in every detail.
Here the stores are not as large as
ours, but they are INTELLECTUALLY more
beautiful. The display of merchandise
Is particularly ~poor-there seems to be
no knowledge of how to show things.
Goods are thrown about in a SEEM
ingly careless manner on the counters
and there is apparent confusion.
Clerks are not as polite as ours and
not as bright. The writer made a pur-
chase and instead of paying directly
to the salesgirl, as is the American
custom, he received a sales slip which
he had to present at a desk, where he
was followed by the salesgirl, who
wrapped the goods herself. Then the
~salesgirl asked for the slip and upon
receipt of same handed out the parcel.

lines of German merchandise, espe-
cially in novelty lines. The styles here
to an American seem entirely too
fancy. Ladies' suits, for instance, are
not plain en~ough-braids n other
trimmings are used very literally and
garments seem to be cut very full.
Even the very smartest German wo-
men, those who wear the most ex-

much better taste.
There are any number of good values
in hand-drawn work. In ont of the
large stores the writer saw an exhibit
of ladies' hand embroidered night
gowns, marked at 81. which really were
marvels OF value. In America they
could not be duplicated for less tina
$3.50 to SO, and yet there seemed to be
no rush for them.
The writer purchased some scarfs at
81 cents, which could not be duplicated
in any of our best shops under 81 EACH

either.

FIX YOUR FACE
TO FIT THE HAT.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. 11.-Don't Sc
lect a hat to suit your face, but fix"
your face to suit the hat, is the latest
fashion dictum, according to Ora Che
that's his name-Chicago's man milli-
ner, just back from Paris and London.
Says he:
Fall hats will be extremely small.
They will consist chiefly of the
sugar loaf cube, the 'steeple crown
and the 'pierot cap
They will follow the Egyptian styles
and the hair mus be dressed down
over the ears to conform.
Crowns will be high, some of them
reaching twenty inches from the foun-
dation."
But all women can't wear small
hats" protests a milliner.
Very simple" declared Mr.. Cne,
make the face over. Try on the small
hat, then make the face conform with
the remainder of the picture. Big hats
cast shadows, that's why they are
worn. The same effect can be gotten
by drawing shadows where they are
needed with a delicate brown powder,
and then rubbing over these shadows
with common face powder so that the
effect will not be too striking"

satin is most effective. This gown is
made from one of the silk and wool
mixtures that are so pretty and we'll

are of ~all-over lace. The skirt Is cut
in four cores only and is made quite
novel and distinctive by the treatment
at the sides, for these cores are cut in
sections, one arranged over the other.
The front cores are trimmed effective
ly. The blouse is made with elbow
sleeves tina are sewed to the armholes
and with a PRETTY shaped yoke. In
this instance the yoke is made of all
over lace, finished with a band of silk,
but it could be all of silk IL a simpler
treatment is desired or could be made
from any contrasting material. The
high waist line is being much used,
but the belt always can be substituted
If it is found more becoming. The
