Think of the
Youngsters
These Hot Days

See that their wants are
carefully looked after.
The very little ones can
not express their needs in
speech, and they must be
constantly cared for.
Articles for the bath,
toilet preparations, suitable
food and seasonable cloth
ing must be purchased, and
the mother who makes it a
practice to read the adver-
tisements in THE STATE
JOURNAL will soon learn
where she can buy to best
advantage for the children
when July days are hottest.
The advertisements in
THE STATE JOURNAL
will tell you where to buy
dainty dresses for the in
fants, cool and washable
frocks for the girls of 2, 3
and A years, and pretty
dresses for the bigger girls.
Also cool clothing for the
boys-from rompers up to
the nattily embroidered
sailor suits.
July days permit you to
dress your children COM
fortably, becomingly and
inexpensively.

wemsns Love of ualy Men.

The ,flustFious men in history who were distinguished as much for the fascination which they exercised over the fair sex as for their talents and ability were, as a rule, plain and in sinifcant in appearance. Julius Caesar was a very i'll favored man, and yet when a mere stripling, before his fame in Rome, girls of his own age sighed for him and mature women longed for his love. Among the men of later times who were renowned in like manner were Sir Philip Sidney, plain almost to ugliness; Paul Searron, the comic poet, a cripple; Voltaire, enthusiastically ugly, and Rousseau, whose manners were awkward as his face was plain, while John Wilkes, who had the power to subjugate any woman who spoke to him for even five minutes, was admit ted by his own showing to be the rug Hest man in England in his time.

EafAi Accident,

Wind and a drenching rain were do- ing their worst to make the lives of home going New Workers miserable when the conductor of an uptown car Joined forces with nature and an- nounced that everybody would have to take the car ahead or the car behind because that car wasn't going any farther. Protests rather more numer- ous and violent than common greeted that announcement.
 Cant be helped" said the conduc- tor stondly. This car is all out of fix. It ain't fit to travel"
 So, according to their custom when ordered to do a thing, the New York crowd did it, but one of the number continued to ponder on the disability of the abandoned car. No fuse had blown out, and 1t had run with only the ordinary noise and friction. Pres ently he said to the new conductor:
 s'What was the matter with that car we were hustled out of back theref What was broken about it?''

 '~The funniest home run that ever my peppers were laid on," said an old time player during flaming bee. happen ed in Chicago some years ago. The Athletics were playing the Sox, and it was on the old grounds. One of our fellows, can't just recall his name now, whaled one in the air out where Danny Green held forth. Now, the score board was there. with platform in front of it. The ball hit the plat form, and, by gosh, it stuck up there. Danny waited for the ball Q come down, while the hitter was sneaking around the bases. After he waited about a few seconds and the ball didn't come down to earth Danny sneaked up the ladder that ran up the platform and started to get the ball. Darned if he didn't get to the top rung, of the lad der and was just climbing on the plat form when the ball up and rolled off the boards again and fell down where he had been standing.

Inmensity of the Swiss Glaciers.


 The glaciers united to form the great Corner glacier above Zermatt have a width of ten miles. Soon after they have Joined the width is reduced to two miles and farther on to one mile. The depth of the glacier is, of course. increased when it's width is dimin- ished. Swiss glaciers have been bored to a depth of 800 feet without reaching the bottom, and, small as they are com pared with the great glaciers of the glacial age, it is calculated that they attain in places a depth of 2.000 feet There is enough solid ice in the great Corner glacier to build three cities the size of London. There are about 1900 glaciers in Switzerland, some of which unite with one another as they de scend. and the total area they cover is over 1 900 square miles, with an aver age thickness difficult to estimate, but probably not overestmated at 25O feet

The overruIina of a Judge,

A judge once awoke in the night to find his room fn the possession of two armed burglars Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the judge watched the proceedings with his usual judicial calm. One of the depredators found a watch. Don't take that" the judge said. ''It has little value and is 6 keepsake" '"The motion is over Euled," replied the burglar. "I appeal" " rejoined the judge. The two burglars consulted, and the spokesman then re- piled: ''The appeal is allowed. The case coming on before a full tribunal of the supreme court, that body is of the unanimous opinion that the decree of the lower court should be sustained, and it is accordingly so ordered" Pock- eting the watch, court adjourned.

DON'T NEED A FISHING LICENSE
Many Town Anglers Have Asked the
County Attorney About Them.

Many of the town anglers are un-
der the erroneous impression that 2
license is necessary before they can
indulge in their favorite sport OF
eoaxing the catfish, gars and eels
from the rivers. creeks and lakes.
During the past week the past week
the local Isaac ,Waltons have had
the fishing fever, and County At
torney Hurd has. been asked many
times daily regarding the fishing
license. It Is not necessary tofhave
"a permit in order to fish, and the
contrary impression comes from the
fact that such bill was introduced
at the last session of the legisla'
ture. The bill passed the house but
was killed in the senate and tbs
town fishermen can fish without the
formality of securing a license.
