GREAT VARIETY
OF new COLLARS
Every Possible Size and Shape
Now Appears

New York. March 20.-AlI sorts of
collars are for sale ready 10 wear. So
much so that the old-time plain linen
collar hardly makes a ripple on the
sea Of collar Celebrations. More and
more are women and girls going with
bare necks, though appearing that way
in summer without a wrap is a vastly
different matter 10 a woman. Some
declare that they feel so undressed,
not to say loud. that they must add
stock if going only a few steps on the
street. Dutch collars remain in favor,
though the newest ones open lover IN
front than those TO which We have
been accustomed. These collars are
to be had in all grades and The thick
nesses of linen plain, beautifully en-
broidered and trimmed with lace. Some
.ot the new collars are very large, and
they vary greatly in shape and decora-
ton.
The square sailor back which came
into favor last summer and has been
in evidence among the winter coat col
lars and frock collars, is out in force
among the adjustable embroidered
collars and shows innumerable modih-
cations.
OpenWork hand embroiderery enters
into large number of these handsome
wide collars, and color is frequently
introduced both into the seperate col
lars and into the collars and cuff sets.
Narrower collars, or rather collars
narrower in the back and with no hint
of sailor shape, are both small and
large. One finds the genuine Byronic
shape in stiff linen rolling away from
the throat. What, by the way, viii
laundresses and laundrymen do with
this and other rolled, stiff collars
which would lose their style entirely
if pressed fiat?
+
Narrow plain or embroidered collars
shaped like the ordinary coat collar
but smaller than the collars of the
coat sets, are numerous, and there are
all sorts of arrangements, half-fichu,
half collar, which would form all the
trimming simple morning tub frock
would need.
+
Big collars entirely of fine tucking
with plain border or with lace border,
are liked, and there are scores of pret-
ty sheer collars daintily inset with
fine lace and delicately embroidered.

THE ACHILLES HEEL.

When an infant in arms, the mother
of Achilles is said to have plunged
him into the River Styx in order to
make him free from all harm for life.
Every part of the infant Achilles was
submerged except his heel, and this
ever remained his one vulnerable spot.
While it would not ordinarily have
amounted to much, and while he was
practically immune from danger, it is
said to have finally been his undoing,
for at the battle of Troy he was struck
in the heel with an arrow from the
bow of Ajax and killed.
There is an important lesson in this
NEUROLOGICAL fable. Every man is
said to have an Achilles heel No
matter how perfect we may be, we all
have some one weak spot where we
are most vulnerable. 1t behooves us,
therefore, to look we'll into how we
are protected from evil tendencies In
bathing in the sea of good intentions
we should see to it that we are i'm
mersed, heel and all Do not let it be
said that you really have an Achilles
heel if you can avoid it.

BLOCKING OUR STREETS.

In the face of a warning given per
sonally to Supt Bolan, of the Public
Service by the editor of this paper,
that company has proceeded with Its
operations at the Junction, undls-
turbed and apparently Indifferent as to
the rights of the people of Pallsade.
1t is a monstrous thing to do, this
blocking in four places two pubic
thoroughfares, as has been done in
this case. The company may be JUS
tilted, but upon what grounds 1t would
be difficult to explain. Pal1sade is
growing In few years houses will
be all along the blocked roadway in
each direction. 1t is wrong in pr1nci-
pie and law that any corporation
should block public highway in this
fashion. regardless of the fact that
conveniences are being put in at the
Junction The attitude Of the Public
Service in this matter is not an adj
mirab1e one, and it suggests that a
recently quoted expression from one
of it's officials ("To hi with Pail
sader) may be the way they feel
about it. They should be forced to
lower their tracks. 1t is the only way
to prevent blocking their tracks with
cars running thirty miles an hour fire.
quent1y across Bluff road, the block
ing of the roadways at the Junction
there seems to be an epidemic Of COM
mon violations of the law. If Supt.
Bo1an, in the face of these objections,
persists in overruling public senti-
ment, his company should be forced
to obey the law, to say the least.

GOSSIP.

Gossip, says the little paper on
which we started our career as
newspaper man (the Griffin, Ga,
"News"), if nursed in ever SO small
degree, eats its way in and shortly be-
comes one of the incurable diseases.
But. unlike most diseases, it IS pain
less 1t is one of the arts that re-
ouires very little practice in order to
attain perfection. Everyone can be
gossip, and not half try. Of course 1t
has its advantages. Like Josh Bill
ngs tight boots, it makes one forget
his other troubles.
But there is another side to it.
While it may bring pleasure and rec
reation to the gossiper, how about the
gossippee-the gossippee is the one
who suffers.
1t is said that poets are born and
not made; that whenever a poet is
made he is spoiled in the making.
This may be true of the poet, but not
of the gossip. No gossip was ever
spoiled in the making. Whether born
or made, he Immediately becomes eff
cient, and goes on his way rejoicing.
There may be botch work in other
things, but the bossipper is invariably
perfect.
Gossip is put down as idle talk.
This is erroneous Gossip is never
idle. IL is one of the busiest things
out 1t starts early in the morning
and puts in a long day and greater
part of the evening Sometimes it
sits up nights looking for something
to do
If you are a gossiper swear off
The world will be better for it.

NUGENT'S TOAST.

The recent Vulgar and insulting
toast offered by James R. Nugent to
the Governor of New Jersey was one
of the most outrageous and cOntemp-
tible acts ever recorded, and stands
almost without precedent in its brazen
effrontery and inexcusable mendacity
Nugent said before a company of mill
tary men and others gathered in a
public house that Governor Wilson
was an migrate and liar. Perhaps
so; but it would take more than this
miserable politician to make people
believe it. One of the first things
uttered by DR.. Wilson before he
would allow the use of his name as a
candidate for Governor was that if
the office were offered him he would
accept it on no other condition than
that he was to be absolutely untram-
melted and unpromised to any man or
set of men. The fact that Nugent's
party did nominate him placed no
sort of obligation with its tender. To
be an migrate one must accept a trust
and then prove disloyal to it. 1t was
presupposing lot for man like Nu
gent to go to Trenton and expect po-
litica1 favor from a man of Governor
Wilson's ideals. Yet when he is
turned away he denounces the Gov
ernor Forsooth! And he may we'll
vince under the denunciation given
by Governor Wilson when that gen
tleman characterized some of his op
ponents as scoundrels. 1t might have
been no stretching of the blanket to
have included Nugent in this cate
CORY Who knows? Nugent, maybe.
But Governor Wilson's attitude is far
too loyal to notice the half drunken
("Do | drink alone?") attack of MI
gent, and his declining to say any
thing in reply was characteristic of
the man. Nugent's position is very
contemplate one, and untenable to
the last degree.

RECIPROCITY AND FARMER.

Our corporation friends have turned their attention from the American
laborer tt the American farmer. They tell him that reciprocity is bad for
the farmer The Canadian reciprocity agreement will hit only these who are
now and have been for q number of years past cornering the necessities of
life and regulating the cost thereof not by the law Of supply and demand
but by the height of the tariff wall. Every effort at q reform Of the obnox-
ius and unjust tariff regulations heretofore maintained by the high protec-
tonsts has been met by the cry that any tariff reduction would serve to
bring the American aborer into competition with the socaned pauper labor
Of Europe. That cry successfully served the purpose offrghtenng American
workingmen and for years the tariff barrier has been retained for the exclu.
sve benefit Of the corporate campaign contributors and their associated in
dustris
The appeal to workingmen is ended. Having discovered that they
were being continually deceived and cheated. the American consumer finally
woke up and the result Of last Novembers election tells its own story on the
tariff problem. Now that the reciprocity agreement promises to open the
doors to the raw materials and food stufs of Canada, and to extend ~
markets in the Dominion, the monopoists and standpahers are seeking to
array the farmers Of the West against the proposed agreement on the theory
that it will serve to injure the American farmer by putting his goods in
competition with the Canadian product Of course, as in the cae of the
American laborer, the purpose Of this sudden and unusual interest in the
farmer is more imaginary than real If the farmer would take home with
him a copy of the Payne Aldrch tariff and count up the cost it puts upon
him and weigh that cost against his benefits out Of il, he would Immediately
petition not only fol a Canadian reciprocity agreement but for the immediate
reduction Of the tariff wall to its original and reasonable height-National

a placed IN The statute books in response to quite Q proper request that
more effective machinery be provided to enforce the prohibition law q ap-
piled under local option. It is found, however, that it has been put to vicious
and made to do the bidding of INSCRIPTIONS officers actuated more by
personal spite than by a desire to enforce the law. The Idaho Falls Post
recently reGted several instances Of improper actions Of the part Of officials
under the search and seizure law.

his children ice cream soda. He carried with him q sack. An officer sum-
moned him and searched the sack o. the street, finding it contained q loaf
