from the eastern markets and they
say the hats this fall are to be worn
so that the hair can be seen all
around beneath the brims. The new
hats are blocked so as to fit the
head without hat pins and set on
as securely as do mems hats: The
head sizes, instead of being round
are long oval, from front to back.
The hats set well down over the
head, but not from the back. They
are set straight on top of the head,
coils of hair showing under, and
then pushed down to fit snugly. The
rGnderbrim and flat trims will lead
this fall and the English sailor will
be good, too. The large and medium
sized hats will be strong and the |
fur hats will be featured great
deal. The new madonna blue, the |
fuschia, geranium and brown shades
will be the popular colors in mil
linery this fall. The black and white
combination also will be strong.
Ostrich novelties for trimmings this
fall will be the strongest ever known
in the history of millinery and French
plumes and metal trimmings will be
good.

Cold, Heat and crowsiness.

Why do we feel drowsy when COM
ing out Of the cold into a very warm
roomi The effect Of cold upon the
body is to contract the surface blood
vessels, drive the blood to the internal
organs and slow and weaken the circu
lation. II this is prolonged the less
ened circulation to the brain will pro-
duce a lethargy which may end in
death. To prevent this we instructive
ly clap our hands. run or perform some
other active exercise to stimulate the
circulation. When going into a very
warm room from the cold the surface
capillaries are dilated and there is
rush of blood to the brain which pro
duces a mornentary congestion. We
have here three causes for the drowsi-
ness--more or less fatigue from the &C
tvity in the cold. the enervating effect
of heat and the congestion York

The Smallest Armies.

The army on a peace footing consists
Of one company of sixty men. The
most amusing of all the armies"
however, is that of Liberia. That
country's fighting force is composed Of
TOO men and 800 officers. but the latter
are evidently deemed very terrible by
their own government since the re-

the sixth, Henry Fielding, and the

WOMAN KILLS -FOUR
CHILDREN AND SELF

Salem.-Despondent because of in
ability to earn enough money to keep
her four children from starvation,
Mrs. L. F. Jellison, aged about So, ad-
ministered a drink of cyanide of po-
tassium to each of them together with
herself. All five are dead.
The tragedy was staged in a tent at
469 Liberty street, almost in the heart
of the city. The police did not dis
cover it until a letter was received
through the postoffice telling of the
deed. The letter reads as follows:
II know the law requires an inves-
tigation. Do as little as possible.
The plain fact is cannot earn enough
alone to keep from starving. Some
one induced my boy to leave, and now
l am too i'll to work. l cannot see
them (the children) starve. There
is little money in my purse, s21,
Make it bury us altogether. Sorry to
make so much disturbance, but am
too confused to write"
Immediately after receiving the let
ter Chief of Police Hamilton went to
the house where Mrs. Jellison had
been living and found it locked. Co
ing to tent to the rear his eyes were
greeted by the horrible spectacle of
the mother and four children, huddled
together on the bed, dead.

perado was peeved about it and shock
ed when Mr.. South told him his
program. South explained that he
was on his way to attend a conven-
ton at Little Rock. Ark, when his
mind was diverted by the sight of the
aforesaid Taylor. He explained that
he had to go to that convention ana
there was no way out of it except for
the desperate to go along. as ne Jerry
South needed that $4,000 reward.
Mr.. South and his prisoner proceed

night. The next day the desperate

convention, and the day following he
was an attendant on the Democratic
