Blu. One Official War Cry.

In the very early days the French
had their "Cri de guerre," the
Scotch their slogan, and the English
their war cries, but so many cries
were launched by the different great
British lords that in 1495 parliament
passed special law forbidding these
cries, on the ground that they pro
duced disorder. allowing but one bat
tie cry, "St. George and the King"

CLEAN STREETS IN BUSINESS
DISTRICT-THAT'S ABILENE.

Since the city has put two men to
work on the pavement in the busi-
ness district with brooms and a push
cart, the streets have presented a
cleanly appearance each day. Flush
ing was at first thought necessary
but the good work of Sam Pyke and
Dave Walters, who are the chief ex-
ecutives with the brooms, has shelv-
ed that proposition. However, a
good flushing now and then would
not hurt. The city received new
push cart today. This will give each
man a cart and the business district
from now on will be cleaned of its
rubbish at least two times day.
Clean streets in the business dis
trict-that's Abilene.

COURT DECIDES
FORMER SCHOOL BOOKS o. X

The supreme court has denied the
mandamus asked for against the
state text book commission to COM
pei the commission to reassemble
and select uniform series OF readers
and Biographies. The case was ar
gued and an early decision was made
because of the necessity OF having
the matter decided in time for the
successful bidders to print and bind
the books before the NEXT term OF
school. The successful bidders were
afraid to go ahead with the work
until the cloud on their successful
bids had been removed by the SUI
preme court.
The text book commission select
ed the Wooster first, second and
third readers and the fourth and
fifth from a Nebraska house. The
primary Biographies were selected
from one publishing house and the
intermediate Biographies from an
other house.

Hope is bound to keep in line
with surrounding towns in the scan

reported to have attacked woman
Monday evening, thrown her to the
floor and attempted an assault, but
the woman fought him off and es-
capped, considerably bruised and
scratched up. The young man hiked
out of town at once and the woman
has gone to Abilene to swear out
a warrant for the mans arrest. 1t
appears TO be a case Of getting into
bad company and running wild. 1t
seems too bad that no effort has
been made to capture the guilty man
and punish him.-Hope Dispatch.
County Attorney Rugh refused to
be interviewed on the question, but
from information gathered it appears
that the young man was not entirely
to blame. No complaint has been

lasted an hour and half. and they
was much excited talking Henry
Allen came out from the Roosevelt
headquarters and took part In the
discussion for fifteen minutes, and
then hurried back to report the SEN
timeRt to the Colonel. Mr. Allen and
Judge Ansel r. Clark OF Sterling
were appointed a committee OF two
to represent Kansas at the consul
tation of Roosevelt men at 2 o'clock.
At the start of the Kansas caucus
there was talk of the entire delega-
tion boiling at the first call, but
two delegates absolutely refused to
be a party to a bolt They said they
were for Roosevelt straight down the
line. and would stay with him to
the end in the regular convention,
but that they would not leave 1t,
because they couldn't go home to
Kansas and face their constituents
as boilers.
Governor Stubbs was the only man
in the room besides delegates and
alternates. He counseled going slow
on the matter of bolting and his adj
vice made an impression on some of
the delegates. although there were
hot heads who were for going all
the way. After a lot of discussion
a vote was taken, and the decision
made to stay in the convention un-
less there were further developments
or definite orders from the Roose-

Just prior to the caucus of Kansas
Roosevelt men, Governor Stubbs was
asked what he thought the Kansas
men should do. A crowd gathered
around the governor as he talked.
''I don't think the Kansas fellows
should bolt" said Governor Stubbs.
''If the illegally elected delegates vote
to support the findings of the creden-
tials committee, the Kansas delegates
will not stand for 1t, of course. But
If 1t becomes necessary, they should
retire from the convention rather
than stay with a convention that

LINING is IMPORTANT PART
French Women Are Most Particular
as to This, and Their Judg-
ment Is Good.

French women adore Innings, and
when new coat, or stole, or muff is
being chosen the lining is certainly as
important as the outside material.
Furs will have white satin Innings
covered with real lace; evening coats
will be enchantingly lined with layers
Of chiffon in different shades, 30 that
when the coat falls away from the
shoulders a beautiful effect of color
catches the eye.
independents of vivid chiffon have
the same result when the upper skirt
is lifted. A tallor-made of quite OIL
binary serge will be lined with dainty
silk Powered cachemire. in fact, lin,
ings are large items in the mind Of
the woman who understands the art Of
dress.
Nothing gives surer note of dis.
tinction to garment than its inside
material, and one may go SO far as to
say that tailor-made or evening
cloak of any kind, that is badly or in
differently lined is as lacking in finish
as hair that is not we'll brushed or
shoes that are not irreproachable in
heels, soles and general polish.

TIDY HABITS TO BE PRIzEU
Fortunate Indeed Is the Woman CT
Girl Who Has systematically
Cultivated Them.

Tidiness is one of the most attrac
tive of feminine qualities. 1t is alsC
one of the rarest. Early and per-
sistent must be the training which
carries the girl into womanhood with
her bump of neatness" well de-
veloped.
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have trick of leaving
shoes about her room. AS a child she
was permitted to do this, and as she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned, for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about it, and prob
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her Another slovenly habit
is leaving bunch of combings in the
comb or on the dressing table. Con-
slant vigilance on woman's part is
necessary in these small matters il
she would be thought really tidy.

EASY TO RESTORE NECKWEAR
Process Not Expensive, and Complete
Return of the Original Freshness
Is Sure.

These dainty accessories to our
wardrobes become soiled very quickly,
and we often regret having to use wa
ter upon them, for they never regain
their first freshness.
To send them to the dry cleaners
each time is an expensive luxury. They
may be cleaned in this manner at
home:
When a number of pieces have &C.
cumulated, place them in quart jar
and fill it three-quarters full Of gaso-
line.
After closing 1t alright, shake Wig
orously and allow it to stand for sew
eral hours. Shake from time to time.
Remove the articles and rub the
soiled spots with a pure white soap.
using an old toothbrush. Repeat this
process until the neckwear is thor
oughly clean.
Hang out of doors, that the air may
quickly dry them. When the gaso-
line has evaporated, bring them in
and hang them in warm place.
Heat helps wonderfully in dispell-
ing the odor of gasoline.
Place in a closely covered box con-
tanning sachet bags. Byt the time the
neckwear is needed it will have lost
the disagreeable odor.

STYLES Chance Gradually.


On the whole the radical change ex-
pected in spring fashions will certain
ly not take place all at once. Little
by little fuller skirts, overdresses and
even paniers will make their appear
ance, but these effects will only ap-
pear slowly and gradually. Undoubt-
eddy the fuller styles will prevail later
on, but the evolution of fashion, like
every other action or movement aim
ing at attaining perfection, is Of the
"festina lente" category.
Judging from reports from Paris the
change of silhouette will not be re-
markable this year. La Parisienne has
not yet tired of ia ligne" and the
simple lines of the figure, especially
from hip to hem. Gracefully arranged
tunic, loopings or knottings of nous

dency toward the double skirt will be

They Saved His Life.

Does it pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-

With green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out a new model

back seat when the greenhorn at the.
steering wheel gave it a twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
man at crossing. The victim was
SO shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and crowd gathered in an in
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad, but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make it for him that
when they took him home to his wife
he introduced them as The two young
men who saved my life"

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emperor Of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck Of
Caractacus.

One Of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler Of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to frighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves.
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see II Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great.
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never did before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
Onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

need which prompted Its acquisition
has passed? There are those who
would say: "Yes," say the Milwaukee

follow this rigid rule. Where people
live in roomy houses with space to

not best that they should consult their

ture antiquarians will be much
abridged II at the end Of every year

does not need. However, 1t is fool
