THE BIC AND LITTLE OF IT
This Applies to Fashions in Hats as
Well as in Coats; in Bags as
Well as in Boleros.

New York, Nov. 6.-As there are ex-
ceptions to all rules, one may be per-
mitted to say that extremes meet in
this seasons fashions, without offend
ing the dictates of good taste.
Reversing the order and starting
from the top down, hats might re-
ceive first consideration. Toques arc
receiving muSa attention just now,
because. they are undergoing a grad
ual change. The new models are
larger than have been those of the
past few seasons, and they are not
drawn so tightly over the head after
the fashion of the old-time nightcaps.
The new and larger toques depend
much for their smartness on the an
gle at Which they are put on the head,
a suggestion of coquetry being needed
to keep them from real nightcap eff
fects.
Very darling. little hats have been
brought out for winter wear, one
shape particularly being revived from
the late years of the eighteenth cen
fury. Originally it perched high
among profusion of curls and tilted
a good deal at the back. The new
model, which is principally developed
in black velvet shows the brim
caught above triangular bunch of
pink roses without foliage.
Fur toques in ermine, fox or velvet
are abundant. Any of the smartest
models have an antique gold or silver
buckle or bit of rich lace for their
only ornament. For trimming velvet
hats the crOchetted wool flowers and
garlands are still being freely used.
Silk roses, too. that look homemade
are another of the years fancies. The
milliner Just now seems to be pos
sessed with extreme tastes. Nothing
short of the very large or the very
small, the very high or the very low,
suits her But her trimmings are very
simple, simple IN the extreme. Just a
tuft of fur BUNCH of little much
curled tips, swirl of gauze or lace,
an odd ornament made of embroidery
more or less garish, constitutes her
only effort on many of the best mod

The Unused Acre.

The unused acre is almost as com
mon as farming, and is everywhere
and always a menace to the business
success Of the farmer. 1t lowers the
income of the farm; it, adds its bur
den to the tax; it costs for fencing;
it levies toll of time and patience;
and when the farm is for sale it stands
out like a SPAWN on a horse and de-
preciates the value. 1t wastes va
liable property, it breeds a spirit OF
slackness, it stands out as the visible
and ineffaceable sign of the poorly
managed and under-productive farm

ST Louis, Mo-, Nov. 6.-NIrs. Fannie
X Morton. known to postoffice inspec-
tors as the brass widow" will hei
given hearing today on the charge
Of fraudulent use Of the United States
mails. The woman is alleged to have
confessed that she duped number OF
men under pretense of wanting to
marry them in order to provide for

Mrs. Morton, under the alias of Ar
den, represented herself as a brass art
craft worker and induced sentimental
SWANS in st. Louis. Kansas City,
Omaha, Topeka and other cities to adj
vance sums of money under promise
of marriage. The complaining witness
was Joseph Nemiere, contractor OF
Tulsa, Okla, who alleges he advanced
$24O to the woman in the hope she
would marry him. Mrs. Morton found
victims by means of newspaper ad-
vertisements, and Is said to have
cleared up $4,000 from her scheme.

An Argument for Government Control

An Argument for Government Control.
Now that the American railroads
have come under what amounts to
virtually one ownership and control,
conferred in New York City, it may be
necessary, as the federal supreme
courts recent decision indicates, to
vest Official regulation of the rail-
roads in the federal government. That,
at any rate, will be the chief argu-
ment in support of the concentration
of this control if it shall come to
pass.-Houston Chronicle.

But the black velvet evening gown as
well as the afternoon frock in this

But the black velvet evening gown as
well as the afternoon frock in this
fabric is unsurpassed for elegance
when it is trimmed simply with bands
of sable. Afternoon dresses of black
velvet and fur sometimes have
guimpes of Irish crochet or of real
lace, and if one have elegant fur sets,
a coat is not necessary.
Less expensive are the trimmings
of figured velvets and handsome
braids, but the woman who has seen
the fur-decorated models find it hard
to satisfy themselves with substi-
tutes.
One-piece frocks of ratine are COM
ing to the front, and though, as has
been said before, the material is not
as serviceable as some of the other
fashionable fabrics of the season, it
certainly is extremely beautiful. Tai.
lored suits of white ratine with brown
or black furs are the last word in ele-
gance both in Paris and New York.
One noticeable thing about the even
ing toilette this winter is the absence
of ornaments in the hair. The gallon
and aigrettes and all the decorations
that have reigned supreme for the
past five years have vanished, and the
original thing is to have no orna-
ments in the couture at all. But any
amount of false hair is to be used.
The head will be fiat in effect, but
that does not mean that one must
not have touches of hair to make the
picture a rich one Hair is Delng
dressed lower on the neck. too, and
the curls are becoming smaller and
fewer in number. The front hair is
cut to fall in the softest of fringe-not
at the side, but over the forehead. At
the side it falls in invisible waves
over the ears, to be caught at the
back with chignon of curls. 1t looks
fearfully simple, but it really takes
masterhand to make the mass neat
and natural.
Handsome costumes of ratine, vel
vet and cloth in the shade of purple
known as Bishops purple" are seen
in the ultra-exclusive shops. One par
ticularly chic model has embroidered
collar, revers and cuffs employing
little black and gold. The buttons of
the ratine are surrounded with black
velvet and the cincture which passes
to he front is finished with long black
fringe.
The skirt is very narrow in the
back, little ease being given at tho

Getting down to the subject of
coats, one can only repeat that both
long and short coats are worn. And
there seems to be a great demand for
plush coats, since they can be classed
in the list of fur materials. Velvet
coats are seen, but they are nothing
like as effective as the plush models.
However, velvet looks more or less
like plush by reason of the long pile,
and women having weakness for
velvet can, if they choose, invest in a
velvet wrap-provided they pay
enough for the very heavy finish.
The new plush coats reach to the
hem of the skirt and many of them
are trimmed with black gallon. The
gallon runs down under the arm and
is finished about the neck prettily.
Nevertheless, one sees just so many
perfectly plain coats, ornamented only
with big buttons which give hand
some effect and are sparingly used.
There is no particular change in the
shape of the long coats worn this
winter Shapes give all the width pos
sible across the shoulders, but in the
width of skirts they are somewhat
narrower. Everyone is ordering long
coats for dressy wear, for with the
satins and silks that are
modish one is compelled to have a
substantial wrap that will extend to
the feet.

HANDS WOULD
 BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay Pin in Cracks. Four Long Years ofECzema. Only ReIiefin Scratching. Used One Set
 of Cuticura Remedies.
 Hands Entirely We'll.

"I can truthfully say Cuticura Reme- dies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago I noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, it soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If I would have them in water for a long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. 1 could lay a pin could think of, went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief I got was scratching.
 "So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, 1 pur- chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much better. To-day my hands are entirely well, one set being all 1 used." (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Spring Lake, Mich, Sept. 26, 1910.
 No stronger evidence than this could be given of the success and economy of the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment of torturing, disfguring humors of the skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura Soap and a gentle amounting with Cuti- cura Ointment are often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most dis dressing cases and permit rest and sleep when all else fails. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are equally effective in pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands.
 Although Cuticura Soap (25c.) and Cuticura> Ointment (5Oc.) are sold throughout the world, liberal sample of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and scalp. will be mailed free on application to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, Dept. 2B, Boston, Mass.

However he has been an exemplary prisoner and dur ing his many years service has be- come an expert draftsman. He drew the plans for much of the work done or the new prison and it is believed has fitted himself for a useful life, being yet only of middle age. He is a Canadian and in the course of his service strong efforts have been made in his behalf by friends in his own country.

MUST ATTEND CHURCH.

Eaton, Ohio.-Just because Corne- lius Crowell was found guilty of be- ing intoxicated, he will have to pay up for his infraction by regularly at tending every church and prayer meeting service for the next six months to come.
 To satisfy Police Magistrate Ken nell that he has attended the relig- ious meetings, Crowell will have to produce weekly a statement signed by the Rev. M. | Comfort, pastor of the United Brethren church. where he has decided he will attend, pos sibly because of the fact that it is nearest his home.
 4 fine and costs. tOtaling S22. 2.50. will be paid by him at the rate of $f a week Unless the courts or ders are obeyed Crowell will he sent to the workhouse to serve thirty days.
 There is very little probability of the latter. however, as Crowell seemed more than willing to comply with the courts orders and left the courtroom with a smile.-Baltimore Sun.

The Boy They Named Team
 After.

"They named a big league ball club after him" A century from now, when they come to count up the life and adventures of LajOie. this simple summary should suffice. They named big league ball club after him. Just at present, while the gent is strictly alive, it is as we'll to mention in these advices a few trifling details in connection with his career. for a word to the man who is quick is more valued than a volume to the man who is dead.
 Wherefore. let us not conceal the fact that Napoleon Lajoie, prophet ically named by farsighted parents, stands out as far and away in ad- vance of other batting marvels. as a modern arc lamp leads parlor match For thirteen years he bat ted better than 300. In 1901, 3. 1. ,, he led the American league in the use of the aXe-handle. You can take ten of his batting years and add them up and divide for an average and you'll get a per centage of 37O. Or you can take an individual year and see where he drew down a mark of 422.
 Besides. you can look over his fielding record for second base ac- tivities. without danger of finding something that won't harmOniZe with his batting perfection. In 1901 he led the American league with a per centage of 963. The following year he brought joy to the hearts of the

Advertising Talks
 To The Readers Of The Republican

that so many people in and around the city in which the newspaper was located wanted water tanks. About a dozen offers came, and the tank was soon down without any trouble or penny of expense to the publisher.
 It is really wonderful when you fig ure out how many different uses there are for advertising.
 Perhaps you remember that when the Japanese captured Dalney, in the Russo-Japanese war, they found that the Russians had removed the gates from the dry docks. Search for them proved fruitless until some one sug- gested that advertising might help. Accordingly, some posters were put up offering a reward for information that would lead to the recovery of the gates. Within an hour after the advertise ments went up Chinaman appeared with information as to the exact spot in the bay in which the gates had been sunk. :.

Cleveland fans by the masterly man ner in which he guarded his terri tory, and again he led the league with fielding figure of 974. In 1905 our gentleman was at his field ing best. He romped away with the big honOrs. scoring the record break ing percentage of 991 out of pos sible thousand. This is a high level. which has never been approXimdted by any player in either of the big leagues since organized baseball has existed.
 Lajoie was born in Rhode Island, and long ago marveling and ap- preciative populace would have made him senator if they could have found something else for Aldrich to do. But perhaps Nap has been more congenially placed in his baseball position You never heard of any baseball clubs being named the Nel- sons. because Aldrich was a 300 hit ter. did you? But they've been call ing the Cleveland team by Lajoie's thing like that. The Maps" Glory. eh?
 You first hear anything Of conse- quence about Lajoie in connection with the Fall River team. where he caught for a spell in the '90s. Even in those days he was wiz. and i; is no wonder Fall River fell for him. Of course. the big league heard about him. and whiSked him away to the wider fields. and there he cut out his own work for himself and governed himself by nobody's precedent His batting ability soon made him a popular idol. and in Philadelphia and later in Cleveland he was all the aces. so far as the crowds could acclaim.
 Lajoie. in addition to being able to hit 'em harder than almost any body that comes to mind. has the unusual faculty of picking his places. He doesn't fear any pitcher living. an5 he doesn't care how the fieIders set themselves for him-he is gen erally able to overcome the pitchers cunning. and then plant the ball where he sees no fielders Hugh Duffy. who must he listened to when he speaks. says he would rather play Lajoie if Nap had only one arm

The business manager of a neWSpa- per tells me that not long ago he de- cided to do away with the water tank that he had on top of his building.
 The building was a fairly high one, and the water tank was big. It looked like a gOod-sized job to get that tank down, and the business manager was wondering what to do about it.
 Suddenly happy thought came to him. 'Why don't I take some of my own medicine and advertise" he said to himself. ''That tank is in fair con ditiOn, and perhaps some one who wants a water tank would be willing to stand the expense and trouble of getting it down.

Finances and Markets

NEW YORK, Oct lS-Unremitting pressure against United States Steel was the feature of today's stock mar ket. The selling was renewed at every opportunity in such volume as to indicate liquidation was again re- sumed. The constant pressure car ried the stock down nearly two points to 5S. Selling was generally accred
 ited to a report reaching the Street that the corporation is to abrogate its contract for a lease of the Hill ore lands. Such a move, it is pointed out, would greatly improve the status of the corporation under the sherman antitrust law, and make it apparent no further charge of a monopoly of ore lands could be made. The effect on the revenues of the corporation, of course, is problematical, though it is said the concern made a bad bargain
