Tha Fashionable FIGURE.

Corsets are shorter under the bust
and all around than at the beginning or
winter. They are really corsets no
longer, except to bind the hips.
Women used to like curves; but. ac,
cording to the dictates of the ceuiu-
riers, the healthy woman is vulgar and
dowdy.
Everything is suppressed in the fig
ure But and hips are made as small
as possible. 1t used to be the case that
people admired a plump figure and
curves
Nowadays the woman that has no
hips and Is fat of bust. the same size
all the way down, is the beauty. The
fashionable woman might as well be a

GIlEYDAN's PROTEST.

A protest by Hon. Henri Gueydan
has been filed against the arbitrary,
unfair and undemocratie proceed
ings of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the Parish of Fafay-
cite in endorsing Congressman
Broussard for another term.
Gueydan's protest should be en-
dorsed by every Democrat through
out the State of Louisiana.
This action OF the Lafayette Com
fnittee is without a parallel in the
political extremes of Louisiana.
It is the rankest of partisanship.
1t is a slap of defiance in the face
of tried and true Democrats such
as Hon. Henri Gueydan and Andre
Martin, who are the announced can
didates for the seat of Congressman
Broussard, who has been nominated
to the United States Senate, and
who therefore should be content
with this honor, without his self
seeking to a continuance in his
present office for another term.
This selfish greed of a politician
and a partisan should not be toler-
ated.
Instead of striving for reelection
to Congress, Mr.. Broussard should
follow the commendable example of
Senator Williams of Mississippi. Mr..
Williams was congressman when
he was honored with the senator
ship. He declined to enter contest
for recollection to Congress, pending
the interval when he could step
from the House Of Representatives
to his seat in the Senate. He be-
lieyed it would have been undigni-
fled for him to have interposed his
personality and his prestige in op-
position to gentlemen who We're as
pirants for his seat in Congress. Mr..
Williams did not level himself to
the attitude of the political self
seeker, but maintained his dignity
as one ,Mhe had been invested with
.-Iery high honor.
For Congressman Broussard the
Caucasian has always entertained
the greatest admiration, but il
would disapprove the action of the
Lafayette committee, whose parti-
san zeal has led to an endorsement
which is arbitrary and unfair to
Hon. Henri Gueydan and to others
who may be aspirants for Congress.
We should ever bear in mind that
uIlframIneled Democracy, the rule
by the people, in opposition to the
edicts of committees, mass meet
j iiaes, packed and dried programmed
conventions manipulated by few
individuals. is what the people want
and demand.
This demand was emphasized II
the defeat Of the rule Of Bossism by
the Good Government League.
1t was in the protests against the
domination of the political machine
That Congressman Broussard Sc
cured his nomination to the Senate.
He could not have been nominated
to the United States Senate If it had
been believed that he was not in full
accord with the principles senunci-
ated BY the League.
The cardinal basis of the League
Is opposition to Boss rule, to Boss
ism and all the evils attending the
domination Of the Democratic party
by few individuals, more or less
self interested in the pecuniary re-
wards Of offices.

Ten Thousand Miles to Save 100000

The isthmian canal commission has
decided to send the tug Reliance and
three 600 cubic yard barges from the
Atlantic side around to Balboa by way
of the strait of Magellan The tug
and barges are meant to take the place
of clapets 7. s, and 10, old French
equipment. which. after long service,
are so badly worn that they must be
retired from use. Assuming that the
vessels will travel at from four and
one-half to Eve kifots an hour and
make eight or nine stops on the way.
the time required for the voyage OF
1O,5oO miles is estimated at about 100
days. Weather conditions along the
South American coast are more, favor
able during the several months to come
than during any other time of the year.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
voyage will be more than $15,0Oc. 1t
would cost $4,000 each to repair the
clapets, and 100000 will be saved by
the transfer.

Patriotism.

The priest of the servian Orthodox
church at Wilmerding, Pa, made a
Memorial day address in the town
cemetery last spring. At the close of
his speech in Servian he said in Eng
fish:
Il deem it my hottest duty to kiss
this consecrated ground upon which
your heroic ancestors shed their blood,
and in which their bones are laid to
rest. deem it my Christian duty to
offer God prayer for the repose Of
their souls, just as If they were my
own blood"
Then he kneeled, kissed the ground
and offered a prayer for the repose
Of those who died for their father
land. When he arose he said: GLORY
to the dead soldiers, and prosperity
to the American people"
The incident was related By Peter
Roberts, director OF the immigration
work for the z. M. G. A., to group
Of Kansas City men at the association
rooms yesterday. II emphasizes once
more the fact that Americanism Is q
matter Of the spirit, not Of the blood.

Device Of a Brandy smuuuIor.

To conceal dutiable goods among
free goods, in any importation, is the
prime offense against the customs
laws; yet the high rates of duty on
some articles, such as tobacco and
spirits, offer great temptation to Illicit
traders, who employ all sorts of ar
tifices to smuggle-or evade the no
tice of the customs officers.
When silk was dutiable women were
the chief offenders, and as they some
times wound the coItraband article
around their persons, under their or
binary clothes, it was found neces-
sary to employ female searchers, now
no longer brought into requisition.
One of the latter, on one occasion,
made curious discovery.
A female smuggler had had con-
structed-but not for running silk con-
traband-an india rubber dress for
wearing under her ordinary clothes.
She appeared, when this contrivance
was in operation, to be a very fat
woman; in reality, she was abnormal
ly thin. But the India rubber under
wear was double and hollow, and the
space between the skins, 80 to speak.

IS LIKE LITTLE KINGDOM


The modern writers who have sug.
gested, IN a more o. less open man
ner that the family is a bad institu-
ton, have generally confined them
selves to suggesting, with much sharp
ness, bitterness, or pathos, that per-
haps the family IS n good Institution
because It is uncongenial. Il is whole
some precisely because II contains SO
many Emergencies and varieties. It
is, as the sentimentalists say, like a
little kingdom, and, like most other
little Kingdoms, It is generally in a
state of something resembling an
archy. It is exactly because our
brother George is not interested in our
religious difficulties, but is interested
in the Trocadero rest urant, that the
family has some of the bracing quail
ties Of the commonwealth. It is pre-
cisely because our uncle Henry does
not approve Of the theatrical ambi-
lions of our sister Sarah that the fam
fly is like humanity. The men and
women who, for good reasons and bad,
revolt against the family. are, for good
reasons and bad, simply revolving
against mankind. Aunt Elizabeth is
unreasonable, like mankind. Papa is
is excitable, like mankind. Our young
err brother is mischievous, like man
kind. Grandpa is stupid, like the
world; he is old, like the world.-Gil-

WILL BoLSTERED HIS CREDIT
Not Until Wooden Jobber Failed Did
His Creditors Get Wise to
His Trick.

Credit men in the wooden trade are
discussing an interesting bankruptcy
case that was recently compounded
out of court at a settlement of about
rs cents on the dollar; and some Of
the credit men, autobiographically
reminiscent, are bewailing the fact
that, to avoid the slang of other
trades, ga victim is born every min
ute" These are the credit men who
credited.
1t seems that a well-known jobber
in woolens became i'll some months
ago and grew worse and worse until,
finally, the men in the trade heard
that he was dying. About that time
the jobber sent for lawyer who
even outside of his own heraldings-
is credited with doing about half Of
the litigation Of that most litigious Of
trades. The jobber, groaning heavily,
made his will. He disposed Of about
100000 in it. Some went to charity,
some went to old business friends,
and little went to the jobber's own
family.
Soon afterward a turn for the bet
ter set in in the jobber's condition.
Presently he was walking briskly
about his business again, buying now
from this mill, now from that-but
always buying. He bought so much
that several credit men became FESTIVE
under his orders and began to consid-
er the wisdom Of holding back ship
ments on terms more akin to cash.
One Of them, however, happened to
mention his suspicious to the lawyer
who had drawn up the jobber's will.
"Have no fear" the lawyer reas-
sured him, adding. by way Of conf
dence. II myself had an altogether
erroneous notion of his finances until
several weeks ago when he was Ill.
At that time drew up his will for
him. and was amazed at the extent Of
his fortune" And he diVulged more
condolences.
Good news travels just as fast az
bad news In the wooden trade, and
presently every credit man in the
business knew OF the jobber's will and
his 100000. And the jobber contin-
ued to buy and buy, and buy still
more, on ever easier terms. Then,
when he had bought enough. he failed,
and that, too, in almost as respectable
a figure as the fortune In his late re-
puted WILL
