AERE,s WISHING.

WISHING sashes are the latest
Every girl has a sash. but this
new fad is said to be a boon to the girl
who is short and plump.
The wishing sash heightens the figure
and adds ever so many inches to the
girl of medium height.
This sash is of soft ribbon wound
twice around the waist and the ends
tied in a soft loop at the right knee
And when you tie, you wish.
But you don't tell any one.

The dog law is strictly enforced
in franklin. It is no respector OF
the personnel (f we may use the
term) of dogs. The fine dog and
the common cur are on the same
footing. A dog on the streets of
Franklin has as much chance for
life, as a sinner has for chance
for Heaven. In the years to come,
members of the present generation
will tell their grand children of the
glad old bowling times when a
dog was permitted to live in

Miss Mollie Harris, a native of
the Parish of st. Mary, died at
Hot Springs, Ark, on Sunday
last. She was buried at Burling-
ton. N. G. The sad tidings of the
death of this estimahle lady is re-
ceived by her many friends here
with the deepest regret and sor-
row. She was woman ofculture.
of the purest character, and the
gentlest refinement. The lovable
qualities of her mind and heart
were exerted ever il doing good,
and being happy in her ability to
bring happiness and contentment
to others. During the last fifteen
years she lived elsewhere, but
here in the place of her birth,
where as girl and woman, most of
her beautiful life was spent. She
is remembered with the truest and
fondestlove and admiration. The
mission of Miss Mcllie is az ex-
ample OF the purest type of lovely
and useful womanhood. Such a
character as hers must have been
in the mind of the Savior when he
said: "Blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see Cod"

He Uses a Few Curse words and Tells About Bribery
 in Slang.

Washington, D. c., Aug. l6.-- McMichaels, the former chief page of the House, called as a witness today before the House lobby Investigating committee, admitted that he had been in the employ of and received consld- erable money from Martin Mul- hall in return for such informa- tion regarding legislation as ne could glean from listening to the conversations of the congressman or reading the papers left by them in their desks and about their rooms, to which he had access.
 His language, punctuated with slang and profanity, shocked the committee. lie also testified that Mulhall had given Congressman McDermOtt money in his pres ence.
 The investigation will continue for several weeks and many con- eressmen are anxious to cross examine the witnesses, but are not allowed to.

W|SC0AS|h'S tUCthIC LAWS

Madison, Wis.,, Aug. 16.--The Wisconsin legislature has taken a radical stand on eugenic prob lem. and in the closing days of the session has adopted radical measures regulating marriage and others directed at the future of the race. The two houses have passed bills providing for a health certificate with every mar riage license, also a bill provid- ing for the sterilization of crim- inals, Msane, feeble-minded, and epileptic persons in state insti- tutiOns. This last bill was con- cured in by the assembly today by a vote of 39 to 37, although Archbishop S. C. Messmer, of Milwaukee, wrote a long letter urging that it be killed.
 The bill will go into effect af- ter the governor has appointed-a a commission of three doctors to carry out it's provisions.

ORPHANAGE BURNS
 CHILDREN SAVED
Another Bad Fire in 6ingham-
 ton, But No Lives Are Lost.

Binghamton, N. Y., Aug, 16.-- A fire in the orphanage in this city nearly caused the death of 15O children, who were ill the building at the time. Nothing but the careful drilling of the past year and the cool-headed work of the matroms in charge prevented a frightful loss of life.
 The alarm brought the fire companies in a hurry, as the fire men knew when they left the tirehouses that the fire was in the orphanage and in view of the recent loss of lite al the local clothing manufacturing house, they were anxious to prevent an other loss of life.
 The fire apparatus reached the scene after the children had left the building and quickly put out the flames, the buildin'ge being only partially destroyed.
