day he is an old man, past three o
and ten, for whom life seemingly holds
but little. But ven In his present
condition he Is not disheartened. AL
though, to use an everyday express

finds something to live for, but his
greatest joy and pleasure is in telling
Of the days when he was a scout with
Custer.
Deadwood Dick has been a familiar
sight in Denver for fifteen years. He
was at one time wealthy, and until
v years ago he was in comfortable
circumstances. But since that time
he has been eking out an existence
by manufacturing and selling an in
sect powder. The old man was a pitt
full sight as he sat in the jail. He has
long, black hair that almost reaches
to his waist, and this he says Is the
pride of his life.

NOVELTIES ARE IN DEMAND
Elaborate Garnitures to Be In Evil
dence During Coming Fall and
Winter Months.

Bead, metal, silk and worsted en-
%broideries all promise to have a large
vogue throughout the coming fall and
winter. Elaborate garnitures in the
form of blouse and tunic patterns are
being shown on foundations of chiffon.
There is practically no limit to the
variety that is seen, and the greater
the novelty the more popular the eff
feet.
Standing bugles are a new feature
in bead embroideries. Part of the
design is worked out with the beads
upright. This results in a handsome
relief work, wholly new, and thus far
much taken by buyers of extreme
novelties. In bead embroideries odd
shapes in pendant ornaments and
bugles are intermingled with beads in
various sizes.
Round wooden beads, dyed in color,
are being much used by the model
houses. Many other new embroideries
will be executed in heavy silk thread,
with the wooden beads carrying out
part of the design.

der in color. 1t is the fashion to
carry with a linen suit a handkerchief
with a touch of color matching the
suit.
While we still see laces, embroid-
cries, and the like, yet the very neat
est patterns are of the sheerest mate
rial Imaginable, d~elicately turned on
the edges and plain hemstitched or
trimmed with very narrow lace.
Monogram handkerchiefs with nun
eyelet initials, delicately worked are
very attractive.
Fine sheer handkerchiefs are easily
made at home and cost much less
than when bought at the store. In
stead Of hemming the edges they
should be rolled French fashion.
Dampen the thumb and first finger
or the left hand and roll as finely as
possible, as you continue to sew The
face edging or insertion that you trim
should be sewed on with the same
stitch that sews the roll. In other
words, the roll and edging are sewed
at the same time. 1t makes a pref
tier, more delicate finish than a hem,
as it is almost invisible. Such hanS
kerchiefs may be trimmed as simpl.
or as deliberately as you wish.

The Human U

An old potter, who was shaping the
clay into the desired shape by his
hands, was asked by a visitor: why
don't you have machinery to do that?"
The old mar replied: I'VE have tried
all kinds of machinery and failed;
somehow it needs the human touch"
God has work that can't be done by
machinery. Christ needs our help,
and the world needs the love, warmth,
and life OF a human touch.

KEEP TIME BY THE SUNDIAL
In Beautifying Its Forest Park This
Kansas Town Has Added a
Utility.

Ottawa, Kan.-The big city has no
corner on civic beauty. Nor are pref
ty parks and ingenious decorative
schemes confined to estates of landed
gentry. A country town can and often
does, furnish excellent examples Of ar

Ottawa has no copyrighted system

streets, but the folks who make their
homes here pride themselves upon
their parks-there are two of them
City Park and Forest Park.
In Forest Park there are samples
of the ordinary park embellishments,
such as a fountain, cemented fish pond,
lettered flower beds and sanitary
drinking fountains. But the newest
addition is a floral sundial. 1t is the
