YACK and Evelyn had been telling daddy about a handsome brass bird
which they had seen n tor of building
"Ah, ye" said daddy; that vas a weathercock. He turns which

"Once upon a time there vas a handsome brass weathercock which stood
o top Of a little spre Oh a barn.
Down below him in the barnyard the feyheed cocks and hens were
struttng about
"What, that brassy old thing up there n the top of the barn" Buff Coat
would say i could whip him in half q minute
Whenever he noticed n Of the hens ghncing " at the weathercock Buff

insulting messages to the weathercock.
Come down and fight m If you dare" he would call.
"Why don't you come up here II you want to fight? the weathercock
would sometimes reply.
Generally it would simply turn its back N Buff Coat, and this made the
latter so angry that he fell sputtGing with rage in the poultry yard, and it took
all the coexing and hathring that the hens could think Of to put him into good

NOVEL BRAID DAISIES
THEY ARE MADE OF REVIVED
Rlck-RACK TRIMMING.
Cabochon OF Them Placed at the Side
Of White Lingerie or Straw Hat
Gives q Most Pleasing
Effect.

On one Of tho expensive little hats
for children 9 the other day q
wreath Of daisies was used with great
effect. 1t was 4 model sent out by a
noted milliner In Paris, yet any
needlewoman could reproduce 1t. The
whole story hinges around the making
Of the daisies.
Do you remember tho old-fashioned
rick-rack braid used on our baby
dresses9 In those days our mothers
We're busy In sewing together this SER
pentine braid in straight bands, In
more intricate flower designs, or in
motifs that were inset on yokes and
sleeves. Rick-rack trimming has been
revived. It Is SO easy and SO very Of
fective that 1t comes back with a dou-
Bile appeal.
The braid II serpentine and general
ly white in color. 1t can be sewed at
the points and very easily twisted in a
flower that. when a yellow center OF
braid or linen is added, resembles a
daisy with pleasing fidelity.
Some daisies can be made in double
rows; some in triple rows. The daisy
form then changes to a dahlia; but
whatever the flower may be, 1t Is at
tractive.
When one daisy IL made, you will re-
peat the process, which ID very easy.
and add the daisies in q straight line
or in an irregular wreath, ono follow
ed by two or three in . group.
A huge cabochon OF these braid
daisies placed at the side Of a white
lingerie hat or a fine straw shape Will
look new and will remind n OF the
popular field flowers that have been
accorded so much favor this spring.
From the millinery idea the clever
woman can depart into other fields OF
dress. On dainty little flower frocks
Of figured batiste. null or muslin, lit
Ito clusters Of rick-raok daisies can bs
placed at the girdle, on tho ends OF
sashes or in garlands that hold up the
drapery at the side Of q skirt.
A high waist line can be outlined
with these pretty little flowers. AS
the rick-rack braid Is procurable In
several widths, daisies can be made IN
several sizes, and q delightful variety
can be given by grouping little and
big flowers.
Riok.rack can be bought at the art
needlework department or. at the no
ton counter Of any large store. There
promises to be much work in this new
flower idea. Isn't 1t fine to be able to
use an old idea with such excellent
resultsf

ing out of the Republican party en-

ing out of the Republican party en-
tirely, taking no part in the Repub-
lican primary, and naming an en-
tirely separate ticket. These men
have practically given up all hope OF
~redeeming the Republican party and
would have nothing more to do with
it. Judging from the sentiment as
expressed at the recent Progressive
state convention at Asbury Park. the
latter class of Progressives are in
the command of the Progressive
ranks in New Jersey and insist upon
putting through their program.
AS Judge Lyon says in his state
ment, such a movement as this is
not settled in a day, and the ques-
ton will have to work itself out.
Time alone will tell whether the Re-
publican party will eventually be-
come progressive, or whether it will
die and a new party take its place.
There is good reason to believe
that the course favored by Judge
Lyon is the correct one, if all the
Progressives would adopt it. We
ho,ioro +bo nrocon+ raoular Panuh-
lican organization is merely an emp
ty shell. On the outside and in
public view is the organization made
up entirely Of bosses and machine
men, but the voters-the rank and
file that actually constitute a party,
are missing. This, however, can
not be shown until an election is
held. Once the vote is cast, the
empty shell will fall of its own
weight, the bosses will pass into
obscurity and the great mass of
Republicans will be in actual charge
of the party. 1t remains for the
national convention Of the Progress
sives to be held in Chicago August
5, to finally decide which curse to
pursue-whether an absolutely new
party is to be started, or whether
the fight is still to be made to gain
control of the Republican party or
ga~nization.. AS has been said, the
tendency seems to be for a new
party. That Is the reason why
thousands of progressives and indie
pendent Republicans are focking to
the support of Woodrow Wilson in
the present election.

WORCESTERSHIRE VIEWS.

Former Judge Adrian Lyon, the
Progressive leader in MiddleseX, in
his statement given to the public
Saturday, takes his stand with the
thousands of Republicans who insist
that the hackers of Theodore Roose-
welt are the real Republicans and
that President Taft, although the
nominal Republican candidate, is
not the real candidate of that party.
He holds that while it may be neces-
sary in some states to put a third
ticket in the field at the coming
election, eventually the Progressives
will win control of the whole Re
publican party, making a third party
unnecessary. Judge Lyon does not
believe the Republican party hope
lessly lost, as do some of his fellow
Progressives, and insists that he is a
Republican and always will be one
that is, a Progressive Republican.
The logical thing for all those
who believe as Judge Lyon does,
therefore, is to put up a set of
Progressive candidates at the regu-
lar Republican primary this fall and
endeavor to make these Progressive
candidates the regular Republican
If straight out and out Progressives
could be regularly nominated on the
Republican ticket this fall, and Pro-
gressive county committeeman chos-
en-, Judge Lyons desire to obtain
control of the Republican party by
the Progressives would be accom-
plished, with the exception of the
candidate for President-although
even here, if all the state nominees
are Progressives, when they meet in
state convention, under the Geran
law, to choose presidential electors,
they could select men who would
favor Roosevelt and ignore Taft. AS
these Progressive Republicans claim
that the action Of the Chicago con-
vention is not binding, this cours
seems perfectly feasible. 1t Is the
proper course for Progressive Re-
p%ublicans, still fighting for the con-
troll of the Republican party.
But many Progressives will not
syree to this. They insist on draw
