the inexperienced for the feeling of

being cotton. The difficulty in
judging knit-wear is that each piece
is a finished article, and the manner
in which it is knitted makes detec-
ton almost impossible without
unraveling, and therefore destroying
the fabric. It will be seen from
what has been given that the oppor-
tunity for the adulteration of knit
goods is practically unlimited -

Pooling the Shopper.

Knit goods have never, to my
knowledge, been investigated and the
manufacturers guaranty has always
been taken at its face value. When
l began to test knit-goods I accepted
the assertions of manufacturers as
proofs Of the quality. These assur-
ances given on labels by manufact-
urers are "all WOOL "three-quar-
ters WOOL" half WOOL" and "one-
quarter wool" It would have been
better if, at times, in the garments
tested, the guarantees that read
reversed so as to read three
quarters cotton" The result of
this mixture of cotton and wool
was shown in some tests made on
underwear for women. One was of
a WOODEN undervest warranted
''three-quarters WOOL" but only con-
tanning 10 per cent. instead of rs
per cent. Of wool. Another war
ranted to contain 80 per cent. of
wool was found to have but 20 per
cent.--that is, 7G per cent. Of the
Wool guaranteed was lacking.
Another garment of the same kind
proved, instead of the SO per cent.
claimed, to have only II per cent. of
wool, while a womans union under
suit contained but 16 per cent.
instead of, 80 per cent. of wool
that is, it was IS per cent. short of
tho guaranty. In this garment
there was form Of adulteration
that is very clever and cannot easily
be detected by the purchaser. One
wool thread is knit with two cotton
threads, but one of the cotton

A Thrifty Squirrel.

Alfred McIenry has park of sew

Of gray squirrels have taken up their
abode. The other day Mr.. McHen-
ry bought two bushels of walnuts to
be fed to the squirrels during the
winter. He left the bag with the
nuts in the back part Of his buggy,
which was pushed into the carriage
shed.
Two days later when the occasion
required the use of the buggy again
he went to remove the two bushel
bag of wa1nuts, wheh, 10 and behold!
there wasn't half a peck Of the wal
nuts there. But there was hole in
the bag and an excited squirrel that
chartered on beam overhead seemed
to have more than the ordinary
amount of interest in McHenry's
movements. The latter watched the
squirrel aad when he discovered
that it had it's home behind one OF
the rafters he climbed up a ladder
and Investigated He not only
found the squirrels nest but all the
stolen walnuts as we'll. The sQuir-
rel had transferred the nuts from
the buggy up under the rafters all

France had her Maid of Orleans.
the Colonies had their Molly Pitcher,
but when the South's great trial
came it had a Spartan mother in
every home. She gave her all for
just cause, a righteous principle;
and when the cause was lost and the
principle crushed by overwhelming
force Of arms, with strength almost
Divine she, more than any other inf1u-
ence helped to convert the sword that
drank crimson blood into the sickle
that reaped the golden harvest It
was her loyalty and her love that
gave hope to the fainting heart and
strength to the weary arm that raised
brick and mortar from the ashes of
sixty-five.
She entered the crucible Of recon-
struction with a fortitude as strong
as the roots of the rhododendron;
with loyalty as true as the needle to
the North Star, and with love as
pure as the rain drop that hangs
suspended from the petal Of the wild
honeysuckle. She came out pure
gold.
From her bosom flowed the
impulses which created the civiliZa-
tfon that we now enjoy. She was the
hope and is the lustre of our history.

fortitude and faith born of the

E|sR. CHAIRMAN: In requesting
INT me to respond to the toast:
III \ "The Women of the South
you have signa11y honored me
but have assigned to me a difficult
task
The Women of the South! God
bless them, what can not be said for
them? Who that has a tongue and
can not sing their praise? Who that
has heart and does not love them?
They have been at once Venus and
Diana, Ruth and Niobe. The
embodiment Of grace and beauty and
loyalty and love, purified and glori-
fled by grief and sorrow and sacri-
flee and suffering. Like Venus and
Diana, they have graced the throne
OF beauty as no other women on
earth. They have been as loyal as
Ruth and have known the grief and
sorrows Of a Niobe.
Mr.. Chairman, I believe in the
providence of God as did your Great
Leader, whose memory we delight to
honor here tonight. That splendid
army Of the South, the bravest men
a righteous cause, believed in Him;
and He has never yet forsaken His
own. Your cause was lost, but you
were not left comfortless. He gave
to you heritage richer than all the
gold of all the Incas; sweeter than
the Elysian Fields Of Araby the
Blest; purer than the beams Of the
morning star; more 1ovable and
lovely than all creation else: He
gave to you the Women of the
South.
Robert Burns sweetly sang Of his
Highland Mary, and the silver bells
of Scotland echoed the sweet refrain.
Tom Moore sang the praise Of the
Kathleen Mavourneens of the
Emerald Isle, and all the world loves
Tom Moore. But the Tyre of Burns
and the harp of Moore were never
turned to poets dream that could
harmonic with the sweet music of
a song Of praise due the women of
the South.
Therefore, you have assigned to
me task as impossible as the sub
pect is incompatible. What shall
my stammering tongue say of them
tonight to you, of whom they are
known so we'll? How can paint
word picture of a model more lovely
than the delicate tints of the sunset
glow, more beautiful than the rain
bow of promise, more radiant than
the beams of the MONDAY sun?
Because I remember my mother, 1
know what the women Of the Old
South were; I know what the women
of the South today are, because one
of Dixie's fairest daughters is my
wife. So Mr.. Chairman, if you
would have me present true picture,
with all the grace and beauty and
loneliness that God alone can paint:
Behold "The Women of the SOUTH"
When the Old South was the Gar
den of Eden in the midst Of the Land
Of Promise, with gentle grace and
modest love she ruled as Queen Of
the home. When the first she'll
screamed over the ramparts Of Old
Fort Sumter, with loving fingers she
stitched the Emblem Of Cause that
went down in defeat-but in dis
honor, never. When our beautiful
land was riven by the plowshare Of
war, with tender hands she wove the
homespun that sheltered her delicate
form from the wintry blast, and was
a ministering angel where the
wounded and dying listened for the
reveille.
All Mr.. Chairman, you may plant

SNOW FAR REACHING.
General Over the State of Kansas, Say
Railroads.

officials of the Santa Fe, Rock ISL
and and Union Pacific in Topeka re-
port a general snow all over their
lines in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico
and down into the Panhandle country
in Oklahoma.
In southeastern Kansas the snow
varies from TWO to four inches. In
northeastern and north central kan
sas it is showing with a depth of five
inches reached this afternoon. In the
western and southwestern parts of the
state the snow averages five inches
still coming down.
In all sections of. the country the
snow is falling without any disturb
ance of the wind and as a result the
railroads are having no trouble get
ting their trains through the cuts. If
the wind starts blowing before night
the roads feel that nothing can keep
the cuts open. The railroad men are
praying for quiet snow.
