Notes of Condolences.

There are persons who never take
notice Of another's sorrow until they
meet the bereaved ones.
Sometimes this attitude is from fear
Of intrusion, again 1t Is from fear Of
not saying the right thing, too often 1t
Is from procrastination.
Whatever the reason, It Is q mistake
There are some few who dislike out
side sympathy in sorrow. The majority
are hurt If It Is not given. They never
quite feel the same toward the friend
who they think was neglectful of their
trouble
The visiting card with a few words
Of sympathy Is sufficient. save among
close friends. A married woman in
closes the card Of her husband.
Never make note Of coincidence
stilted. 1t should express you and
not be an essay on grief. Also be
brief. A few sincere sentences count
more than pages Of rambling plati-
tudes.
1t Is customary to send the note to
the member of the family you know
best. including the others in your ex-
pressions Of sympathy.

asking him to represent them with

The commission. which was signed by
President Arthur Barclay and Secre-
tary of State r. e. r. johnson, Is al

ing you for the post. l am confident that
you will do all in your power to enhance

for the republic of Liberia and the gen.

best be judged by the following ex-
tract from a letter that Bishop J. @.

ago:
In the success Of your work as the dip.

Gently been called to several success
full Afro-Americans in Kansas City,

the past twenty-five years. Perhaps
the wealthiest of those mentioned Is
John Lang. who made much money as
a concert manager and invested 1t to
good advantage in real estate His
fortune is now estimated at 100000.
j. d. BOwser, principal of one Of

earnings to good account. Besides
owning the house in which he lives,
Mr.. Bowser owns several other prop

His estate is valued at 100000.

wealth stands as the direct result Of
his ability to make wise investments.

Good
form
Good Form Don'ts.

Don't wear colored or fancy open
work stockings with your street shoes.
Always choose plain stockings to match
the shoes in color.
Don't pin your ruching and dress
shields in place. Basic them instead
and see how much more comfort they
give you. 1t really doesn't take much
longer to haste than to pin.
Don't think that because collarless
dresses and blouses are fashionable
you can wear a low cut dress on the
street. There Is a vast difference be-
tween "collarless" and "low necked"
Don't buy any cheap jewelry and
imagine 1t looks like anything but just
what 1t is-a cheap imitation of a good
article. Much jewelry is In bad taste
at any time except with elaborate
evening dress.
Don't wear soiled and mussed frills
and ruchings. You had much better
wear perfectly plain clothes without
trimmings If you cannot keep these
dainty accessories fresh and without
soil.
Don't forget to see that your blouse
is properly fastened before leaving
your mirror. The waist gaping open
at the back not only looks careless,
but may cause you some embarrass.
ment too.
Don't allow your skirt to slip from
under your belt In these days there
are so many devices for holding the
blouses. skirts and belts In place that
there Is no girl who cannot find one to
answer her purpose II she only tries.
Don't wear shoes or gloves that have
lost their buttons and never wear
shabby shoes or gloves If you can pos
sibly avoid 1t. Keep the former nicely
polished and the heels straight: keep
the buttons on and the rips mended In
the latter.

INDIAN AGENCIES
Three States Included in Pro-
posed Probe.

Washington, June pa thorough
investigation of Indian affairs of the
reservations of Minnesota, notably the
situation at the White Earth agency,
Is authorized in a resolution intro
duced by Representative Stephens of
Texas, chairman of the house commit
tee on Indian affairs. The resolution
further provides for a like inquiry in
to the affairs of the Indians of Wiscon-
sin and the Usage tribe of Oklahoma.
1t is provided that the Investigations
proposed shall be conducted by COM
mittee composed of five members of
the house. The committee is empow-
cred to sit and act wherever it
chooses.
The resolution provides specifically
for a thorough inquiry into the situa-
ton at White Earth growing out of
the alienation of lands by the mixed
bloods under the authority of the
Clapp law, approved June 21, 1906.
Plans to Pass Resolutions Soon.
Chairman Stephens will call up the
resolution in due season. He plans to
pass it in the house before adjourn
ment. If this programme is carried
out the investigation in Minnesota will
be begun early in the fall. The COM
mittee probsbly will hold it's first ses-
sion at Detroit. Other reservation
cities will be visited. After confer
ence with various persons supposed to
have knowledge of the situation Mr..
Stephens decided to make his resolu.
ton general in scope and purpose in
so far as it applies to Minnesota.
The resolution was referred to the
house committee on rules, which is
expected to make favorable report.
Representatives Miller of Minneso-
ia and Burke of South Dakota un-
doubtedly will serve on the committee
on inquiry.

Receiving Guests.

How many women fail in the polite
nesses here when they give themselves
up to Informal ways Of doing things.
A visitor not too we'll known calls. and
the lady Of the house comes down In a
loose. blousy wrapper, none too pretty
or neat. without word of excuse for
not being properly dressed.
This is carrying informally to the
point Of ignorance. for If there is any
reason why loose garment Is worn
at a visiting hour 1t should at least be
attractive and partially fitted to the
figure. Then. in the event of some
slight indisposition. it is possible to
invite woman guest to go upstairs
into bedroom. where the dowdy dress
out Of place.
To receive a man friend In such at
tire would be a grave indiscretion. for
men abominate the flowing. unattrac
tive robe. and as 1t Is always sug-
gestive of the absence Of corsets It
extreme.
The easy house gown. then, must
look as If 1t Is worn over corsets to
be within the pale Of the proprieties,
and If masculine eyes are to look upon
1t 1t must be attractive and belted in
to the figure to boot. But only an old
lady or young matron who Is COM
PEELED to dress in this manner should
make a practice Of receiving guests in
such Informal attire. for the dignity of
suitable dress adds greatly to ones

BELTRAM| COUNTY
ATTORNEY RESIGNS
Indignant Because Ignored by
Arson Plot PrObers.

Bemidji, Mimi, June 22.-The DO.
litical pot, which began sizzling in con.
nection with the Dumas arson charge,
boiled over when County Attorney
Henry Funkley, friend of Sheriff
Hazen, sent in his resignation to
County Auditor J. L. George.
Funkley accompanied his resigna-
ton with a brief statement that he
could not get along with the officials
conducting the Dumas investigation.
Thayer Bailey, a Bemidji attorney,
has been hired as special states at
torney to assist in these cases. This
was done without Funkley's knowl-
edge. When the arrests in connection
with the case were made Bailey swore
out the warrants and Court Commits
sioner Simmons issued them without
consulting the county attorney.
All this has angered Funkley and
he declared, after he had handed in
his resignation, that he would have
some startling charges to make
against the officials who are conduct
ing the investigation. He styles this
as a part of the gang" and hints that
there may be some connection be-
tween the men under arrest and the
officials who are conducting the
probe.
In the statement accompanying his
resignation Mr.. Funkley says in part:
"If 1 am not competent to be con-
suited in the matter of issuing war
rants I am not competent to try the
cases after the parties are arrested,
and since it appears to me from the
action of Mr.. Fullerton, as stated to
me by said court commissioner, that
I am suspected of being in league with
criminals, and since will not be coun-
ty attorney in name only, I deem it
but fair to the county and myself that
I resign"
