A clever way to make the popular

is to finish the top Of the drawers and
the bottom of the corset cover with
separate bands Of beading. One rib
bon may be run through them both, so
that either garment may be changed

or a small enameled pansy or other
small flower. Necklaces of gold plated
iligree, in beautiful designs. Egyptian
or Etruscan in origin, may be bought
for six and eight dollars.
Bracelets, in band effect, of the gold
plated filigree, are equally reasonable.
What promises to be very charming
fad is the revival OF the bracelet that
has attached to it a tiny ring through
which the handkerchief is slipped.
Bracelets that broaden into an oval
section large enough to contain a tiny
vanity case in which are concealed a
diminutive pun ard a fun Of powder,
are among the interesting novelties in
an exclusive shop.
The black velvet neck bands with
their slides of rhinestones will no doubt
be much worn with the fchu effects
in gowns this summer, as they seem
suited to this quaint style.
Belt buckles are another feature that
the present modes OF dress will popu-

pin variety.

ably smaller, and in anticipation Of
the high hair dressing which is re-
turning to favor, the very small round
and oval gold barrettes are being
shown again. Rhinestone hair orna-
ments and barrettes are much seen, as
well as a wide variety of pins orna-
mented with carved silver or gold.
Do you remember the crocheted fin
ger purses that our mothers used TO
carry years ago-long, narrow affairs,
with a slit in the center, lengthwise,
which was kept closed by means of a
couple of small rings that could be
slipped back and forth? Bags of this
style, much enlarged and elaborated,
are among the many new designs that
have been added to the already large
assortment of these convenient recep-
tacles. In silks or brocades, trimmed
with fringe or tassels, these ring bags
would not be difficult to make at home.
One might COPY a very stunning one
which was made from green and blue
taffeta. Both sides had a wide design
carried out at the end in steel beads.
One end was left straight and edged
with cut steel fringe, while the other,
mitered in three-cornered shape, was
drawn into cut steel tassle.

A novel negligee seen in one OF the
shops owed it's original style to the
very wide, pointed revers that turned
back from the opening at the throat on
one side only, and extended below the
waist, where the narrow point was fin
ished with a long tassel. The left edge
of the garment was simply stitched, as
was the bottom of the sleeves and the
skirt, and was brought over to the side
to fasten with two large buttons, just
beneath the tasseled end OF the revers.
Undersleeves of material matching this
rever completed the attractive little
loupging robe.

IS ROOSEVELT DEMENTED?.
EMINENT SCIENTISTS THINK HE
is REALLY INSANE.

Believe Ex-President's Brain Is Dis
ordered and He Has No Clear
knowledge of What He Does.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
through it's distinguished editor, Col
Henry Watterson, shows signs of
returning sanity by seriously doubt
ing the sanity of Theodore Roose-
welt.
The Courier Journal prints two
important and convincing scientific
inquiries-one from DR.. Morton
Prince, editor of the Journal of Alb
normal Psychology, the other from
Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, profcs-
sor of mental diseases in Cornell uni
versity and the author of important
works. These eminent men are con-
WINGED, according to the Courier
Journal, that Theodore Roosevelt is
of unsound mind, that his brain is
so disordered that it has no clear
responsible knowledge of what he is
doing and it's relation to affairs, and
that, if he be not taken to some re-
treat where he may be cared for,
he will before the day of the presi-
Dental election or Immediately
thereafter-if deprived of the insane
object of his desire-do some dread
full, irreparable act, leaving no one
in doubt of his real condition.
Col. Watterson continues: In
sanity has long been in one of the
branches of the Roosevelt family.
He had a brother who died hopeless
ly insane. 1t can be established by
abundance of proof that President
Mckinley objected to appointing him
assistant secretary of the navy, be-
cause he said he was crazy, and
often referred to him as the crazy
man Quay forced me-"
The Courier-Journal defends Col.
Roosevelt from the vicious attacks
and ruthless arraignment which
some papers make, charging him
with being a monster of depravity

these facts and gives this expert tes-
timony. One of these men testified
at the trial of Guieau and examined

cludes:
THAT such man may be elevat-

ferrous enough. In point of fact, he
ought to be hurried to a santa

NO LIMIT TO SKIRT LENGTHS.
Women Can Wear Them just as

Women Can Wear Them just as
Long as They Choose.
The supreme court of Massachu-
sets has decided that women are not
bound to lift their skirts in alighting
from street cars. Moreover they
have a right to wear skirts as long
as they choose.
Miss Miranda Martin was getting
off a car some time ago when her
skirt caught on a sand plunger
which projected from the front plat
form. She was thrown to the street
and sued the company. The COM
pany alleged that the woman had
been negligent in failing to lift her
long skirt high enough to clear the
plunger.
In affirming a judgment for 81 900
the supreme court holds that the
company's objection is untenable.

thereby made more prosperous. They
believe that the education of the
masses makes greater bread-win-
ners and more competent and use
full citizens, They realize the fact
that living in the country is made
more pleasant when the country is
dotted over with convenient school
houses filled with competent and con-
scientious teachers. Their lands are
more valuable and it is easier to Sc
cure good renters and tenants Their
property is safer when education
prevails. For education embraces
the training of the hand, the head
and the heart.
Corporations pay of that tax ST.
$50 and the negroes pay 81, 149.O7.
Thus you see that nearly 40 per cent
of the local taxes are paid by those
who receive no direct benefit in mon
ey from that source. Their benefit is
general, and comes from the con-
seriousness of having been instru-
mental in helping others. They have
read: 1T is better to give than to
receive" ''He that gives is doubly
blessed; he blesses both the receiver
and the giver.'' Your schools should
be of more interest to you than your
gold. The man who is measured en-
tirely by his dollars has a poor
standard for his citizenship.
Again, we claim to be sorry that
so many of our citizens are moving
from the country into the towns. Do
you propose to remedy that by crush
ing every interest which is dear to
our rural population? What makes
living in the country desirable? 1t
is the location of our schools and our
churches Another fact to which
desire to call your attention is that
the vast majority of our teachers
come from the humber walks of life,
and are most frequently reared in the
rural districts and small villages.
This must continue to be true. The
rich, the proud, the naughty have
neither inclination nor qualification
for teaching. 1t is claimed that a
vast majority of our successful bust
ness men come from the rural dis
ticts. Living there alone with ma
ture and with natures God they i'm
bibe feelings and sentiments of indie
pendence, of industry, of persever-
ance, of honesty and correct living
which qualify them for leadership
in every walk of life. They live un-
contaminated by the vices of the
city and come forth strong both in
body and in mind The children of
the country are just as good by ma
ture as your children. Their minds
are just as bright. Their ambition
to become good citizens is just as
great as the ambition of your chill
dren.

your car balks when you are twenty
miles from anywhere it won't be nee

Their little souls are filled with am
bition to become worthy citizens
Their aspirations are as exalted and

ell fares the land to fastening ills
prey,
Where wealth accumulates and
men decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade;
breath can make them, as a
breath has made,
But bold peasantry, their coun-
try's pride,
When once destroyed can never be
supplied"
Now, one other fearful truth is
presented: If you vote out the local
tax for schools your board of educa-
ton cannot open our public schools
during the next fall. The law ex-
pressly declares that no money shall
be borrowed from the appropriations
for next years business to run your
schools during this year. Every dol
lar appropriated for this year is eth
er consumed or pledged. Your
board has hitherto relied upon the
local taxes for conducting our
schools in the fall Hence, your
board cannot go forward unless they
trample the very law under foot,
which they are not prone to do.
Therefore, let me beg you to lay
aside passion and prejudice and vote
to sustain the taxes; vote for the
children of those who are less fortu
nate than yourselves, but who help
to make up society and citizenry.
Shall it be said of Terrell, the
banner county of the Empire State
of the South; Terrell county, ever
foremost in progress and prosperity;
the first county of the state to intro
duce intensive farming and to profit
by it; Terrell, known all over the
state as the most progressive county
in Georgia; shall it be said of her
that she is the first to stab vitality
and to destroy her own greatness?
Heaven forbid. Let this not be said
of us. But know this: that if you
are successful in voting out this tax
which you voluntarily placed upon
yourselves for the benefit Of those
who are to come after us you will
have lighted a magazine whose de-
structive influence may haunt you in
days to come. I do not, cannot, will
not believe that you are willing to
vote us so great calamity. Re
spectfully, J. w. F. LOWREY.
