Novel Emery Baq.

That useful little article of the sew ing and embroidery bag which first appeared in the strawberry form can be bought at up-to-date counters in several other shapes, among them be- ing the thornberry, grape and chest nut By this it can be seen that al most any bag, no matter how elab- crate the embroidery upon it, or any sewing basket, no matter how ex- pensive, can have an emery bag to match it. A needle worked through this tiny object will save many min utes of vexatious endeavor in drawing the needle through the obstreperous silks and the thicker linens. Many bags have complement of the whole gaEut.

body cares. The home sewing mother sees what her neighbours child is wearing and copies it, and there is no bad feeling between the homes.
 Our illustration displays the sort of coat that suits child from four to seven, for when the youngest ages are considered in a style there is always 8 babyish touch to the article, whatever it is. The straight sacque shape of this double-breasted cloak, simple as 1t is, however, will suit the richest as well as the plainest materials, and also pretty touches with fur. An eco nomical scheme is suggested in the present instance, the coat being of quite a cheap fancy coating and the bit of trimming, looking like fur or astrakan cloth.
 Smarter coats may be made in either of these styles of corduroy, vel veteen or plain cloth, but where money is not plentiful reversible or mixed wool would be the best choice for coat that must do for all occa- sions.
 In the departments of costly things, the imported coats, hats and frocks that appeal to fat purses and that fol low many of the vagaries of adult styles, there is decided tendency to- ward the use of tarnished gold and sill yer trimmings. AS many of these beautiful garments as are left over at holiday time will he rn1lch reduced then, and if none can be purchased, there is always hint to be got from them. But it is the child around the baby age-under five-that is most often allowed the tinsel trimmings; the bigger ones cannot ape their eld- CTS in such extravagances. Yet what a fairy touch the tarnished laces and braids give dress, although, of course, everything else must accord.

The Country Editor

The country editor has to- make much of the news he writes. The commercial club, the church, the base ball team, the law and order league, the college, the county central con- mittee, the whist club and the good roads movement all must feel the in fluence of his guiding hand He must see everything and run errands for everyone, send out the circulars; do the town lying for harmony's sake and hold the sack. He must be guide, philosopher and friend to those in trouble and be mentor and admonish- CT to those who are about to get into trouble. The preacher, the town drunkard, the statesman, the social climber, the real estate boomer, the man from the grand lodge, the promot- CT, the kicker, the captain of industry, and the girl with the fatherless baby all come to him with their troubles and aspirations.
 He is the town confessor, the town boomer and the town goat, doormat, rock of refuge, errand boy and the vii carious sacrifice. The editor is the only creature of all the wide animal kingdom that needs the wings of dove, the strength of lion, the pro- tective odor of the skunk, the smooth, crawling belly of the worm of the dust and the inspiration of God-Walt Mason.

What a comfort it must be to mothers who must fume and fret over the making of their own clothes to turn to the simpler needs of the chil- dren's wardrobes!

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY.
By A. w. MACY.

The FanueiI family of Boston loved liberty. Their ancestors had fled from the Huguenot per secution in France, and they ap- preciated the blessings of free dom. They were welI-to-do, and it is said that when one of them died in 1738 three thousand pairs of mourning gloves were provided for the attendants at the funeral. In 1742 Peter Fan- ueil built house and gave it to the city of Boston. His main purpose was to provide public market place, and to this the ground floor was devoted. The upper room was fitted up as hall for public gatherings. The Sons of Liberty met here dur ing the incipient stages of the Revolution, and from this fact the building became known as "the cradle of liberty" 1t burn- ed down in 1761, some years after the donors death, but 1t was immediately rebuilt by the city. In 1905 it was enlarged by the addition of another story and by making it forty feet wid- CT. As thus rebuilt the struc- ture remained substantially the same until 1899, when more changes were made. The mar ket facilities have been greatly extended, and now occupy a whole square.

Work Is Stopped;
 Highway to Florence

Tucson, Jan. 19-The teams, blows scrapers and employees of Griffith & Pacheco used in the construction O. the territorial highway toward Flor ence, were brought into Tucson last Thursday afternoon, signifying that the building of the road has ended fol the time being.
 The reason for the cessation of the road construction after about 20 miles had been built, was that funds to con- tinue were not forthcoming in view of the impending change from territor- ial to a state government, and the in- ability of the present territorial off, cers to forecast plans when they are about to leave office.

This is the first real development Of
the wonderful water power resources Of
the Ozslk country, and is only the fore
runner Of what may be expected in the
near future. Conservation oIour natural
resources is the fundamental basis Of
our future development as a nation, and
any initial movement along this line
deserves the support and confidence
Of its investing public.
With the signing Of contracts whereby
the Springfield traction and light com
panies and the Empire District company
Of Joplin are to get power from the
White River plant, the success Of the
undertaking seems assured. These
companies will consume enough Of the
power generated by the hydro-electric
plant to make the distribution OF the
surplus power in other small towns of
minor Importance. These smaller towns
cannot be taken care of until the trans
mission lines to the main objective
points Springfield and Joplin -- are
completed and the big industries of
these cities supplied The Empire
District company controls the present

power SO reasonably will greatly enhance
the possibilities Of the proposition to
build the electric road from Springfield

problem Of building power plants.
