USEFUL ROOK-AND-EYE BOX
Simple Contrivance Will Save Time
and Frequently Much Wear and
Tear on the Nerves.

Have you ever hunted In vain for
the special size of hook and eye you
needed? If not you are an abnormally
neat woman, or one given to buttons
or pins.
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box Of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sep
arate hook-and-eye box forthwith.
Then you promptly forgot.
The next time Immediately hunt a
number of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew a hook and eye
to show the size and color within.
Put these envelopes neatly in a small
box and your miserable fishing days
are over There should be separate
holders for cards of hooks and eyes,
detached ones that have not been
used and for those that have been
ripped from a dress. as is the habit
OF some economical women.
Small boxes with the hook sewed or
pasted to the lid may take the place
Of an envelope. but take up more room
and are less easily handled.

For Evening Wear.

Evening dress is quite lovely this
year, and tho tunic as much to the
fore as ever. though rather shorter
than that of last winter. The bead
embroidery is all the rage. and 1t is
almost crowded upon the ninon that
composes these tunics. They are Of
the most vivid colors. and the variety
of designs Is surprising. There ap-
pears to be no end to the inventive
ness OF the clever brains employed in
this interesting II arduous work. The
great difficulty must be to differen-
tiate the patterns from each other.
One Of the loveliest has two long
stemmed lilies rising from the hem in
front, and a border of similar but
smaller lilies finishes the tunic. The
color is cerise, with crystal beads.
and a curiously effective touch is the
very narrow. fiat piping. in the very
palest greenish blue. which finishes
the tunic around the shoulders and
borders the sleeves. Lovely effects
are made by laying these beautiful
colors over each other.

Foolish EIy.

This is told for true story by Tom
McNeal:
In a certain town in western Kan.
sas. whose name Is withheld for oh
vious reasons. there was hotel which
was as near the limit, perhaps. as any
place that ever masqueraded under
the name OF place where a traveller
could get food and lodging. On one
occasion man who was looking the
country over stopped at the hotel fof
dinner. The meat was a few pieces OF
fat salt pork swimming In grease; the
bread was batch of biscuits so hard
that you couldn't break one with q
hatchet. and the butter was as strong
as limburger cheese. The stranger
was hungry. but not near enough to
starvation TO be able to eat anything
that was on the table. As he sat
looking over the board with disgust a
fly alighted In the half-melted butter.
The stranger carefully helped the fly
out OF its trouble and. as he watched
II crawl feebly away. said: II know
what's the matter with you. You're
feeble minded. Any insect that has
wings to fly with that will loaf round
this hotel must be burned fool

WHY FLOWERS AT WEDDINGS
Pretty Custom That Has Been Handed
Down Through Centuries Has
Real Significance.

Flowers, of course, always have
been used at all festal occasions. and
SO, consequently, at the weddings of
practically every nation. They are the
symbol of gayety. and hence their pro-
fusion at that most joyous Of times
q wedding.
But some OF the flowers have more
than a general significance. For ex-
ample. there was long a custom for
each guest to dip sprig of rosemary
Into his cup Of wine before drinking
the couples health. The bride (if she
were not q widow and the bride
groom once adorned themselves with
garlands of wheat. This was symbol
Of plentifulness and increase and at
the present time the bridal wreath of
orange blossoms possesses the same
meaning.
In "ye olden times" there were gar.
lands. garlands everywhere at we'd
ding ceremony. Even the rejected
suitor sometimes wore a garland of
gray willow.
Besides the flowers, both the bride
and bridegroom wore true love knot,
an ornament introduced into England
by the Danes in the ninth century and
called the "trulofa," the troth. The
bride Of that time was supposed al.
for pledge. brooch for innocence
and a garland as crown of victory

LADIES FORM
SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
Organization of Miller Women
To Promote Equal Suffrage

A large crowd of ladies of the city
gathered at the court house Sat-
urday afternoon and organized an
equal ST ffrage association to assist
in the campaign for the franchise in
this state. Mrs j. l.. Pyle, of Hur-
on. one of the state leaders in the
work, was present and presided at
the meeting.
The association was formed of
thirty-three members, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected, Mrs
5. V. Christ, president. Mrs w. II.
Waters, vice pres, Mrs E. f.
Waite and Mrs j. h. Warke, secre-
tarles, and Mrs Clinton Crabtree,
treasurer.
The ladies plan to hold regular
meetings and carry on the work in
a systematic campaign. The first
meeting will be held at the court
house Saturday afternoon, June %,
and all interested are invited to be
present.
In connection with tie suffrage
movement, two significant occur-
entes might be mentioned. The
Senate committee has reported fav-
orably on the proposed suffrage con-
stltutional amendment, and the
question will therefore doubtless
come to a vote in Congress for the
first time. and the Illinois legisla-
ture has granted the franchise to
women on all except state officers.

Big Muddy Destroys Farms

Vermillion Plain Talk.-If YOU
have never seen the Missouri river
when it began to cut into the high
banks. you al not appreciate the
the havoc that treacherous streamis
working all along the line. You can
not understand how running water
can, in IN the course of a few days,
wipe out nearly an entire farm of
the best bottom land.
Acre after acre is going out with
the tide. Martin Erickson is still
losing some of his land, but the
heaviest losers this week are land
owners south and southwest of the
Erickson farm. Slowly. but surely,
the old Watertown is being carried
away, while the Clark farm is already
half carried away. Where the lat
ter farm formerly extended west to-
ward the river adistanceof sixty rods
now a seething mass of water is the
only thing in sight. The house was
torn down the first of the week.
1t was necessary yesterday to pick
out a new road for those who desired
to get to the ferry, as a portion of
the old one went into the water dur
ing the day. The indications are
that the Waterman farm or a large
part of it will be no in a few
weeks if the cutting continues. 1t
is possible that when the waters sub
side the channel will change. but it
is not probable. In places the Big
Muddy is now a mile and a half
wide.

TAKES OFF HAT
TO MILLER
Capital City Paper Says Miller is
on Map

Pierre Messenger Some days ago
a party from this city happened to
be in Miller and was astonished at
quantity of cream the farmers were
delivering at that town. There are
four buyers, and while this man was
unable to learn the number bought
by the four. a Mr. Dunn, one of the
buyers. bought and paid cash for
seventy-two cans. each netting the
farmer nearly $1,000. $4,000 paid
out to the farmers of Miller in two
days for cream by one If the four
buyers. and it is safe to say that the
rest OF the buyers received a fair
share of the business which would
return nearly three thousand dollars
in TIVE days to the farmers at a time
when money is most needed. These
FARMERS realize a good thing and are
ION the short road to prosperity,
while If they did not have the income
from their cream. they would be
sweating blood now fearing a thou
sand things that might happen that
would ruin his prospects for the
year. These farmers are making
splendid progress and at the end of
the year they will be miles ahead of
the fellows who are not selling their
cream.
Miller is n town in the central
part OF the state that we can well
afford to pattern after in many
ways. In the the first place they
are united. Secondly they are hon.
est boosters, no one trying to cut
every other fellows throat. Third
when a stranger comes to Miller he
is given the glad hand IN sincerity,
not in the spirit of cleaning his
palm of all he has. or ever expects to
have. There is genuine hospitality
and there is no humbug about it.
Their Commercial Club is a credit to
their town, not so much because Of
its elaborateness, as the manner they
have OF doing their entertaining. 1t
is genuine. The knocker died sew
eral years ago in Miller. They have
built him a monument with this in
scription. Gone. forgotten in the
acts of doing better things" The
general welfare of the community is
on par with the individual business
and what better can a town do for
its progress than follow this course.
We lift our hat to Miller.
