His Proposal.

Andrew Carnegie tells Of unique
proposal of marriage which was an
actual happening in Scotch town
where he. was stopping one summer.
A Scotch beadle was very much in
love and was extremely bnshful. He
could not make up his mind to ask the
woman for her heart and hand in the
ordinary manner. He made several at
tempts, but his courage always failed
him at the suspicious moment.
One day he asked her to go for a
walk and led the way to the church
yard. There, finding the lot where his
ancestors lay. he pointed to the head
stones and said:
"All my folks are buried here. Joan,

NOVEL WRAPS
FOR SPRING WEAR
Goats Have Graceful Draperies
and Odd Sleeves.

The new draped coats in worsted
and silk brocades, charmeuse, Grape
meteor, faille and other novelty fabrics
are looked upon with favor by the
buyers Of the better class of merchan-
disc. Many graceful draperies are
shown in the new outer garments for
spring and summer, says the Dry
Goods Economist in discussing spring
wraps.
Some of these coats, inswhich the
material is very soft, are draped to q
considerable extent while others show
more simple lines, and few have
only the 1rapery suggestion.
The sleeves of the dressier coats are
frequently in kimono shape, and many
are attached several inches below the
shoulder line. Some, I'm fact start at
the elbow and have the fuilness drawn
into cuff. Deep yokes extending
over onto the sleeve are noted In some
of the models.
Palmer wraps for afternoon wear
are also being shown which are cut
with the straight coat back and fas-
tened over at the left side front. Many
Of these show the odd cut seams which
have become a feature of the spring
garments.
Many clever ideas in cape wraps are
being brought out this season. Some
of the newest ones are made without
sleeves, while others are cut so that
the hand can be slipped through.
A few wraps have recently been
brought out In plain colored chiffon
and in printed effects. as well as
chiffon with rich borders In the Bal
kan colorings Practically all Of the
wraps for spring are made in either
three-quartsrs or seven-eighths length.
Some are sharply cut away and are
quite short in front. A few averaging
from thirty-six to forty inches have re-

MARY D. THOMPSON, AGED TWELVE YEARS.
Nothing can be done with poor stock
or poor seed. Everything is possible
with pedigreed stock and seed.
All of this has been written time and
time again in farm papers ana the ru-
raj press, but when children begin to
work definitely in this direction some
thing is sure to happen. Grown PEG
pie are slow to take up new things or
things that are fairly new. but children
simply absorb and use them.
If you have had successful boys
corn club in your county, why not try
to organize a small poultry club u he
girls? If you do, be certain to insist
upon the rearing of only fowls of pure
blood. 1t will mean that the girls will
nave an absorblnb occupation that
Adults can watch with great advantage.
