KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD
Probably the Most Practical and Com
Portable Garment That Child
Can Wear.

There Is slight tendency in the d.
rection Of overdressing children just
now. Every now and then this ten
dency arises, only to be annhilated
by the fact that there are few women
so silly that they will overdress their
children, whatever they may do them
selves. Children are not independent
of fashion. but certainly they are not
dependent on 1t.
Real torture may be inflicted on a
sensitive child by dressing her In out
Of date and clumsy garments when all
her school fellows are daintily clothed.
But what are wanted are not up.to-
date things, but simple and pretty
things.
The rise OF the knitted coat for
adults has led directly to the use OF
knitted suits for children. They are
very comfortable, very warm, and as
durable as anything can be that Is sub.
mitted to the extreme chances Of a
child's day. For very small boys lit
tie Knockers and jerseys of knitted
wool are the most practical OF gar
ments, especially for fat little boys.
who will come through any non-elas-
tic fabric much quicker than they will
come through knitted wool.

CAGE MAsTs' VALUE PROVED.

Far from pronouncing the doom OF
the cage mast Of the American battle
ships, the recent firing tests in Ches-
apeake Bay are regarded by naval Of
ticers as demonstrating most concinc-
ingly the efficiency OF the cage mast.
Sixteen 12-inch explosive shells
were fred at the experimental cage
mast erected on the hulk Of the San
Marcos, formerly the battleship Tex
as, which lies on the shoals Of Tangier
Sound Chesapeake Bay. or these
thirteen Were fair and square hits.
and the last hit toppled the mast into
the water, while this heavy fire, con-
centrated upon the mast at close
range resulted after thirteen hits in
the destruction of the mast. Naval
officers assert that In the first place
the masts of ship in action would
never under any imaginable circum-
stances, be subjected to such fire.
In the second place, 1t is declared, two
or three well-directed shots at one Of
the old time cylindrical masts would
be sufficient to bring 1t down. There
fore the recent tests prove conclusive
ly that the cage mast can Withstand
at least six or seven times the firing
that the old mast can endure.
The cage mast originated with the
American navy, though other navies
are beginning to adopt It.

after THE LAST ACT
Story Of Suffering and Sorrow
of Two Lovers in Play.
.By RICHARD BENNETT.

Arthur Langdon had gone into the
theater quite accidentally; he had
been dining with q friend who was
suddenly called away, and. passing
homeward to his lodgings on Forty
third street, he had stopped and found
himself gazing with passing interest
at the poster representing Miriam
Grey in 1.-THE Looking Glass" Under
meath the picture was pasted slip
bearing the words Opening night"
Langdon looked at the picture with
increasing anger and disdain he I'm
agined the morrow's criticisms-out'
flowings of eulogy upon "a great heart
drama" or "a triumph Of art by some
new dramatist--Paul Smith, this au'
thor called himself-who imagined
that he had penetrated into the
arcana OF the universe and shared IN
every human experience!
Then he bought a ticket and went
IN. In bitter mood, in order to sheer.
So the curtain went up and the per
Torrance began, and Langdon. sitting
In his seat, prepared to satiate his
chagrin and contempt.
He had devoted five years OF MS
life to play writing. and every effort
had come back to him with the barest
formality of a reply. So he had
abandoned that field to reap a falr
success as story writer. But the
failure Of his earlier efforts had EN-
FILTERED him against those whose
struggles had been rewarded.
Yet when Miriam Grey came on and
captivated the attention OF the au-
dience; when the plain, simple story
gradually began to make its way into
the hearts of the audience: when sops
punctuated the silence. Langdon found
himself gripped. enthralled, by the
writer's power. but 1t was not until
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1912-12-05
The curtain fell; the lights went up.

The curtain fell; the lights went Up
But Lillian was not there.
Was she dream only, born OF his
imagination and his desires? NO,
there was the empty seat, and there,
even, was a little glove, dropped from
her lap. He could not but know Lii
lian's glove. He picked 1t up and
pressed 1t to his lips reverently; then
suddenly he found that people were
staring at him. He glanced rouno
him wildly-and all at once became
aware that all eyes were turned upon
the stage and that storm OF applause
had broken loose all over the theater.
He looked up. Lillian was standing
before the curtain, and her bow was
to the crowd; but her eyes were on
his.
Then suddenly Langdon understood.
She was the author; she had sue
ceeded where he had failed and she
had put all the sorrow and suherlng
of both of them into the story. And
even as he watched her she was gone,
and he stood still in the aisle among
the moving crowds.
The second seat was empty. Lang
don slipped into it, and presently ne
saw her coming down the aisle toward
him. Her head was very high, her
cheeks aiame with happiness. And
she sat down at his side.
Lillian" he whispered, hardly dar'
ing to look into her eyes. 1T was
you!"
YES" he heard her ancwer family
Lillian, | have sought you all this
time. Why didn't you let me know?
Why couldn't you forgiven
but | have forgiven long ago." she
said
Then you"
II thought you knew where l was
living l thought hush, I'll tell you
afterward. See, the lights are going
out for the last act"
THE last act" he muttered. Lii
liam. how is it going to end? VIII
it,"
ut ends as our romance will end,
che whispered. You will see soon.
Have patience Haven't we been pa
tent for three years? It's only half
hour longer now"
And with this Langdon felt strange
ly content.

PROVED TO BE TRUE7

The story that comes from the
south that there are people there
that do not know the war Is over has
been proved to b. true-proved by
the treasury department. A Louisville.
KY. woman sent in dollar bill the
other day with the following letter:
II have had this bill for some time.
but | have neglected to have It re-
deemed In the meantime. however.
! have acquired two little girls. and
a dollar looks much bigger than 1t
used to look As Its buying power
seems to be steadily decreasing.
send 1t in while 1t is still worth 30
cents"
The treasury dcDnrtment immedi-
ately forwarded to her perfectly
good brand-new dollar bill and in
formed her that 1t would get her ex..
nctly 100 cents worth of goods any
where she wanted to present 1t. That
sounds fishy. but 1t is the honest
truth.

GOlO j.. vG~LGL.

Thclssnds of gold seekers who
juiEtd in the mad rush to the klCn-
dixie hurried ov-I ground containing
that "e,y treasure which they eX-
pected t. find at the end OF their
Journey. Many of these gold SEEKERS,
indeed must have passed in sight OF
the quart2 vein near the Valdez
glacier which II years later was de-
veIopcd into what IL now known as,
the Cliff mine This vein has aver,
aged &bou' $50 IL ton, mostly In free
gold. VITA little change In depth, the
concentrates running about per cent
and carrying about 500 worth of gold
to the ton. according to a report OF
the United States geological survey.
This Is probably fair measure OF the.
gold content Of the ores OF the dis,
trict, though many property owners
report contents ranging from SIS to
$500, or even higher.
The Cliff mine became productive
In 1910 and proved to be very profit
able. It's success greatly stimulated
prospecting by local miners and also
attracted the attention OF nonresi'
dents, who quickly recognized the pos
sibility Of developing here new min
ing district AS a result several hun
dred lode claims were staked and con-
siderable development work was I'M
dertaken In 1910 and 1911.
At this time Alfred II. Brooks. geolo-
gist In charge Of the Alaskan work OF
the United States geological survey.
visited the region and made an ex-
animation of It's possibilities. and his
report, just issued by the survey.
shows that the most encouraging fea
ture of the district Is the fact that
one lode has been profitably mined to
a depth Of about 400 feet and for
about 800 feet along the strike. SO
far as can be seen. he states, there
are no geologic conditions at the Gin
mine which are not found elsewhere
in the region.
