UV WO of the prettiest of many wide
brimmed hats are pictured here.
One is a pressed shape of hemp
faced with cnangeable silk and
bound with velvet. The crown is fin
ished with fold Of velvet at the base.
Two long uncurled single ostrich
plumes repeat the two colors which
are blended in the silk. 1t is the
management Of color that gives char
acter and beauty to this simple and
graceful shape. The shape of deep
lavender hemp is Of the right shade
to harmonize with the facing of silk
which is gray, blue and rose woven
together. The feathers In blue-gray
and rose-gray combinations seem to
have been made expressly for this par
ticular hat. The narrow binding of
velvet is in deep lavender.

MADE PRETTY POINT OF LAW
Railroad Company by His Con-
vinclng Argument.

The story Is told that in the early
days OF the railroad in the west there
was farmer who owned two we'll
bred and useful dogs, named Major
and Tige. The dogs one morning
chased stray hog down the road and
stopped to play at the railroad cross
ing, with the result that Tige was
struck by an engine and killed. The
owner promptly brought suit for dam
ages against the road.
Damage suits were a new thing at
that time. and there were many neigh
bors and sympathizers present at the
hearing. The ingineer swore that he
gave a sharp blast of the whistle as
he approached the crossing. 1t looked
as If the railroad company was ito
go scotfree," but the attorney for the
farmer knew his justice.
Your honor" he said, "it is re-
quired by the statutes In such cases
made and provided that when any per
son or domestic animal is up a railroad
and is seen by the engineer. he must
sound his whistle. In this instance
your honor, there were two domestic
animals innocently playing on the
track, and the whistle was sounded
only once, when It is positive legal
requirement that 1t should have been
blown twice, once for each dog"
SO convincing was this argument
that the country justice would not
even give the railroad attorney a hear
ing, and awarded the plaintiff the full
amount of damages sued for.-The

braid (known as nacre) shows the
top crown covered with velvet in
green (the prevailing tone In the
braid) and piping at the brim-edge
OF the same velvet. This is a simple
model with much style. There is q
graceful variation in the width OF the
brim and clever tilt, these with the
slight droop convert the shape into a
background for the face. The crown
is low and rather small It is shape
which can be worn by almost any
one.
Clusters of small compact roses with
green and bronze foliage and small
buds are mounted fiat to the brim at
each side. This is one OF several
trims which look we'll with this shape.
One will go far before finding a hat
so simple and SO good.

pio,s Journey on cowcatcher.

The engineer of a Panhandle pas
senger train, on arrival at Logansport
Ind, recently, found a curious passen-
ger on the cowcatcher OF his locomo-
tive, in the shape Of live pig. He
said the animal had probably been try
ing to find warm place and had
climbed on the cowcatcher at some OF
the stations along the route. When
found the pig was half frozen, but re-
covered when put in warm pen.

Pincushions Of Novel Designs Mako
Acceptable Tokens Between
Parting Friends.

Penny dolls made of china are the
foundation Of cunning little pin cush-
ions, which look like ballet-dancers at
fist sight, but on second glance it is
discovered that in lieu Of fluffy skirts
they wear balls of brightly coIored
satin, silk, Pompadour ribbon or tinsel
cloth. To dress one of these cushion
dolls, wind strip of inch-wide cotton
about the trunk, from the waist over
the left shoulder, back to the waist
again and over the right shoulder and
then tack it with stout thread That
is the basis for the fiuffs of cotton
scented with sachet powder-which
must be put on to form a symmetrical
ball that is covered with white, soft
linen and finally with the fancy silken
material. When finished, the dolls
hands, feet and head only are uncov-
cred and no matter how many long
pins are stuck into her, their points
are scarcely likely to reach her trunk
Pin cushions of fancy ribbon, velvet
or silk of oblong shape have three
plain plump corners and one that is
leaves of silk which fall over both its
sides and. when their baby ribbon
strings are united, reveal several in
side leaves of embroidered flannel for
holding needles OF various sizes. At
the other end of the cushion and set
directly at the center OF its shortest
edge, are ribbon loops by which the
cushion may be suspended. This Is
the ideal steamer or travelling pin
cushion and makes a most acceptable
bon voyage gift.

an institution of learning, as it could con-
tent itself to be century ago. 1t must
furnish training in skill and ingenuity, in

Aside from all ethical reasons why
capital punishment should be forever abol-
ished l beg to mention a more potent one.
I make my appeal now in the name of
economy.
We all know that in most cases the ex-
pense in the prosecution is in direct ratio
to the financial rating of the accused, but
even where four men are sentenced to be
hanged within two months Of the date of
their crime there is certain amount of
money spent by the state. 1t seems hardly
fair that the public should be taxed for
this purpose needlessly.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-Mrs

mistake for robber..
They were on their way from Salem,
Va. to New York. The girl, Gladys,
and a passenger, w. H. Cuthbert, Of

a Trenton, n. j., hospital.
The shooting occurred near Bristol,
Pa, and the train continued it's jour
ney to Trenton where the woman was
hurried to hospital. Efforts to save
her life there were unavailing.
Miss Myers was so hysterical over
the shooting that she scarcely could
tell a connected story. The police
are disposed to accept the statement
that she shot her mother for robber,
although an element of mystery has
been injected into the tragedy because
of contradictory statements by Cuth-
bert and the girl. Cuthbert says he
did not know the mother and daughter
and only volunteered services to them
following the shooting.
Miss Myers told Trenton police that
Cuthbert was travelling with herself
and her mother. ...
According to Miss Myers, Mrs.
Myers was wife of J. Rappe Myers,
