GEN. WOOD SAYS WE'RE
WAR=LIKE, NOT MILITARY

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec 2O-Major-

mix up militariasm with military pre-
paredness, but should not confuse the
two terms"

rich and powerful nation should keep
itself prepared for war.

CHARMS OF A WOMAN
Her Individuality Often Suppressed By
 Inartistic Draperies and
From the London Mirror.

From the London Mirror.
 Granted the charm of q good com plexion, well-cut features and luxuriant
 hair. most people would admit that a woman gifted by nature with these
 possessions would easily outrival an- other who can lay no claim to such natural beauties. And yet, in the his
 tory of the world, it is well known that it is not the most beautiful women who have reigned over mems hearts and ex- ercised supreme power but rather has it been the palmer woman, whose mag netic power lay in the fascination Of her own personal individuality, an in- ldividuality that stood out by some in herent force and was strong enough to triumph over a lack of beautiful features and coloring."
 Such was the remark uttered by q critic of the woman of today to a Lon don Mirror representative Who had just complained that every woman he met was "a replica of the other--in dress in manner and in general appearance. Why should every woman extinguish her Individuality in the same kind of dress? No wonder -he streets present such an appearance of monotony sure Ily a little touch of novelty would be welcome, and assuredly it is not a good thing for women to copy slavishly the ideas of another. But nowadays it seems
 a crime for any woman to. adopt any cther feshion than that worn by her
 neighbor."
 Another critic might urge tha. it is only the woman of cultivated taste who cen successfully achieve the picturesque and individual mode of dressing. At the
 same time even the most commonplace
 woman might rehearse effects in her own dressing room before appearing in public, and calling in the aid of a friendly critic might invite frank opin- ions on her appearance. Talse, for in
 stance, the present fashion for wear ing lace. Beautiful as real lace is, the arrangement of it is often so inartislic that all it's charm is lost. Many wom-
 en whatever their proportions, seem to think that the mere donning of broad piece of real lace, fchu fashion. sivos them the, charm of we'll dressed woman.
 | y Only the critics of their appearance
 are conscious that the lace adds to their proportions, and that even the costliest
 may serve to accentuate defects instead of softenng them. Or take the fashions in jewelry. A woman possesses some costly bracelets, and. no matter what shape her arms may be. she weaia them in and out of season, neither her waist be round or flat, and regardless of the fact that the bracelet only points out her lack of beauty
 To achieve the right individuality in dressing the art of acquiring clothes that are becoming must be studied, and the woman who insists on wearing a splash of the wrong coior s',~ ca use she wishes to break tlie monotony of a neutral tinted frock haa nS.f !. understood the first law of picturesque dress

ONLY TA|LLESS DOG
 IS HE SCH|PPERKE
Constant Sitting Down of Ancestors Causes Lack
 of Appendage

From the New York Sun.
 No little dog in America is so mis- pronounced as Master Schipperke. He is called Shipperky, ShiperlSee and plain Perky. but an authority on this fun ny little Belgian says that the correct way is Shipperl1ey for the name traus- lated into English means Little Ship per and originated from the fact that these dogs are found largely on canal beats, both in Holland and Belgium and are the ~watchdogs for these moving homes.
 Master Schipperke is making rapid strides among the American faneiers, He has been popular for some time in England, but his fatherland is Bel gium, where he has been known for centuries. In Belgium two weights are allowed, one around 25 pounds and the other under 12 pounds. The standard for this country, however, has been fixed at 12 pounds for males and II pounds for females.
 Black is the only color recognized as standard, and it is this color, together with the frill around the neck, which in some instances is most marked, the fox-like head and the complete ab- sence of any tail, which never fails to attract attention. Master Perky could not if he would, a tail unfold, for 35 per cent of the Schipperkes are born tailless and the balance are bereft of these appendages early in life to keep the breed uniform.
 Being born without tail does not mean having an abbreviated tail, for those which are born tailless have not even a sign of tiny stump which they may wag when cheerful. Why nature has bereft the little animal of that member, which Is a dogs medium of expressing his innermost thoughts, has never been discovered. One writer says that it is due to the fact that being confined on the barges or canals con- stant sitting has worn away the tail. Probably the real reason is because it is fashionable and nowadays what the breeder wants he produces.
 Willard c. Aborn, owner o{ the Wicklow kennels in Cleveland, showed some splendid little shippers at the're- cent toy spaniel show. There were Champion Wicklow Rustus and Frillboy and in the bitches classes Wicklow Black Fluff and Constance. They were beautiful, graceful little creatures and won everything in sight. Some of the spectators never before had seen specimen and they were the center of an admiring crowd all day. MT. Aborn can vouch for the fact that his cham pions all came into the world without tailsL

of 160 acres of similar land could have been taken up by any citizen of the United States at no more expense than that of entry, and by agreeing to re- side on it for a certain length of time, but our poor victim could not have done this when in the circumstances that the old swindler had found him. So when he was told to pal D$100 only at the end of his second year, $200 the third year, $500 the fourth and $400 the fifth he was as happy as any one could be and he asked no questions He was given to understand that in five years the farm and all on 1t would be his.
 "The first year he worked fearfully hard clearing the land and putting in such crops as new land will produce, and with his credit at the general store everything went along fine. The second year was a repetition of the first, eX cepting the land was much more inn proved, but try as hard as he could the victim could not get together the $100 to make the first payment. The agent of the old swindler fixed it up all right, saying 1t could run over until the third year, when he could pay $500 instead of $2O0
 with renewed energy the victim and his boys, now old% enough to help con SlQtIdblts lidutf tie hCW AAAi III sOOu lOOh like one that had been years under cultivation, but the third year still found them shy the money to meet the payment falling due. Again old Jones agent came to the rescue, and assured the victim that another year would fix it up all right and that he could easily pay $500 at the end of that time and he would allow the balance of $500 to go over until the fifth year, when the $700 could easily be made and paid as the final indebtedness.
 At the end of the fourth year the farm was under fine state of eulu- vation and there were now seven cows instead of two2the poultry had multi plied there were many more pigs and goats and the near owner wore con tented and happy look as he surveyed the results of his pioneer work, vet there was $500 to pay and he did not have it. But he did not worry, for the agent of the old swindler had told him to let the $500 go over to the fifth year to be paid with the S7o0, or s10OO in all.
 "Surely, he thought, his cotton would

net him that much the next year. but it didn't and the old swindlor knew 1t wouldn't and he claimed as his by law everything the poor victim had when at the end of the fifth year only small part of the 5000 could have been paid even if old man Jones had not been too wise to accept it-it was $1000 cash immediately or get off the farm.
 "The state of the victim at this stage of the proceedings may b9 ina gined, although as one of the sufferers later expressed it, We are no worse off now than when we started. We have lived comfortably for five years and the chill dren are much older.'
 q understand the old swindler had at least 300 such farms that had been im- proved from wild land, worth S1 to $2 an acre to cultivated farms that he sold at prices varying from s25 to $40 an acre, and when you deduct his initial cash outlay you can figure out that he made more than a barrel of money"
