DIED ON TRAIN
C~anistota Man Sick at Sioux
Falls Fails to Reach
Home

Sioux Falls, Dec. 9.-Louis Currier,
about 20 years of age, unemployed,
died while on his way to his home at
Canietota, this morning, before the
train which was bearing him there,
had scarcely gotten outside the city
limits. Currier. who lives with two
brothers al Canistota. had been in
the city seeking employment, but
was taken i'll and sought refuge at
the Columbia house. When a physi-
clan was called today he found the man
suffering from pneumonia and in a
very serious condition. The man had
no O and the county commission
ers were appealed to in an effort to
get Currier taken to q hospital. Two
commissioners called upon for aid re-
flu sed on the ground that the county
could not go to expense of the sort
for unemployed transients OF ether
| parts of the state or country, but
| offered to pay the slck mans railroad
fare to his home. AS the only alter
native, the physician. after continuing
to urge the seriousness OF the case
and offering his services free of charge,
accepted the offer of tickets and later
saw Currier and his brother on board
the Omaha train. The train was
scarcely four miles ont Of the city
before the man died in Q day coach.
The physician stated that the man had
been sick for days and had been a
drinking man whose chances of sur
viving the attacks of the disease were
slight, but thought that there might
have been some hope if Currier could
have been taken to a local hospital for
immediate treatment under sanitary
conditions.
Health depends. as nature shows,
More on the interior than most sup.

omslst With Strawberries.

Here is a delicious luncheon omelet,
sweet entire or even dessert. and not
as extravagant as 1t would have been
a month ago. When you find nice
box Of ripe strawberries on the mar
ket stand fine In flavor and reasonably
cheap, invest and buy also half doz-
en- OF the freshest eggs. Pick over
your berries, saving out about half OF
the finest solid ones. Cut these in
half. put into bowl and add two large
tablespoonfuls Of sugar. mixing with
a little grated orange peel and dash
Of lemon juice or grapefruit. Set in
refrigerator while you wash the re-
mainder OF the berries through 4 fine
sieve, and sweeten well. Make al
omelet OF the six eggs. and when
ready to fold over, fill with the sliced
berries drained from all juice. Turn
the omelet out on the dish, dust gen.
erously with powdered sugar and
serve at once. A dash Of rum may
be added to the berries II desired.
A little grated nutmeg is liked BY
some.

SKIN MUST Be PROTECTED
First Thing to Be Looked To by the
Woman AFFLICTED With
Red Hands.

Medically, red hands are a form
Of erythema, or local Inflammation OF
the skin. Now there are q great many
kinds Of erythema. due to a large
number OF causes, from some infec-
tious disease like scarlet fever to
mere prolonged exposure to cold or
heat.
The question arises, What can be
done to prevent the first stage Of cry
thema, namely, the increased blood
supply to a part-or hyperaemia-and
what to prevent the first stage from
developing into subsequent, ones?
This question is more easily asked
than answered, but still It is not un-
answerable.
In the first place, those who have q
sensitive skin must protect 1t as much
as lies in their power. They must
keep from It every irritation-say
washing with either hot or cold wa
ter; the water should always be tep-
i'd; particular attention must be paid
to the soap used. that with an ex-
cess of alkali being particularly In
furious.
AS to additional treatment, when
once the hands have begun to show
signs OF more or less permanent red
ness they should be rubbed dry In
an upward direction, and afterward
ameared with some animal fat, like
codliver oil or lanolin. several times a
day. They should frequently be held
high and joined above the head 80 as
to facilitate the escape Of blood. At
the same time 1t is advisable to go
In for suitable exercises. walking.
gymnastics, cycling. golhng, etc.,
which can only help to improve the
general circulation.

FOR WEAR IN THE COUTURE
Numerous Ornaments In Order u
Woman Would Follow the Ex-
tremes Of Fashion.

II she would be very well equipped
there are many little accessories for
her tresses that the modes demand.
II. for instance. the hair is worn low.
there are certain heavy hairpins OF
plain real or imitation shell to hold
the knot in place. And more elabo-
rate are the mounted hairpins, with
imitation jewels-these. OF course, for
dress and evening wear.
Combs and barrettes of real she'll
beautifully marked-are chosen by the
woman who wears her hair high and
keeps her tresses smooth and firm In
the back by their use.
Very effective are the ornaments
studded and inset with rhinestones
Some of the designs are most artistic
and the stones beautifully set. To
give the effect of those exquisite orna-
ments which are set in platinum, the
French jewelry designers have used
the rhinestones in a silvery metal
that has the rhinestone finish, and
wonderfully good looking the combi'
nation is. One may have this in bar
rettes. those pretty bandeaux, hair
pins, and mounted combs.

BEGINNING OF MRS. GRUNDY
Like Host Of Other Famous Matrons,
She Sprang From Fertile Brain
Of Literary Genius.

Mrs. Grundy is a comparatively re-
cent creation. Like Mrs. Harris, Mrs.
Camp, Mrs. Malaprop, Mrs. Darlington,
and q host of other famous matrons,
she sprang from the fertile brain OF
literary genius.
Thomas Morton, forgotten London
playwright, is her authentic sponsor,
and she made her debut on the boards
of q London theater in 1898, the We
lhicle Of her maiden appearance being
a comedy OF some theatrical effective
mess entitled Speed the Plow."
In the play Dame Grundy Is the
wife Of a rich and successful farmer
Dame Ashfield, another farmers wife,
for whom she is the object OF innocent
envy and idolatrous alteration, can do
nothing but talk OF her and quote her
and invoke her approval on every &C.
icasion and with reference to every
subject.
When she returns from the market
she tells her husband that Mrs. Grun'
dy's eggs and cattle are the best she
has seen there; and when news comes
that their daughter has married title
she exclaims:
"Our Nellie married to real baro-
met! l wonder, Tummas, what Mrs.
IGrundy will say?" Her husband be-
trays great irritation at every such
reference. and finally breaks forth;
BE quiet, woolye? Always din, ding
ling Dame Grundy into my ears-what
will Mrs. Grundy say? What VIII
MRS. GrGndy think? Can't thee be
quiet, let me alone, and behave thyself,
IMatty?" But the good dame Is not to
lbe Rilenced.

DESIRABLE TEA TABLE
HOW CLEVER GIRL EVOLVED
PRETTY ApoRNMENT.
Small initial Cost and the Expenditure
Of Comparatively Small Time
Brought Its Reward In Some
thing Worth Having.

A novel and NEST economical way
to make n pretty tea party was dis
covered by girl who Is very clever
with her wits and her fingers. She
first purchased for 40 cents q large
oval picture frame from secondhand
store. securing very good bit OF
natural old woodwork.
Then with q bottle OF stain. some
sandpaper and q little varnish she
polished up the wood to look like new,
then screwed on two brass handles.
one at each end. afterward cutting q
piece OF pretty cretonne the same
size as the glass. and FASTING II
smoothly where the picture would
ordinarily go.
Covering 1t with the boards that be-
long to the frame. tackled securely into
place, the entire back then being COW
cred with a piece of felt. she found
herself possessed of a most fetching
tea tray, which in the shops would
cost from S. to So.
II afternoon tea sets continue to get
more attractive, the services which
were considered lovely a few years
ago will be relegated to the neither
most corners of china closets.
All In palest green porcelain is
very dainty set comprising a teapot
sugar basin. cream pitcher and half
dozen cups and saucers. 1t sets upon
square tray Of green willow. Quite
as dainty and only trife more costly
are tete-a-tete tea sets Of white china
banded with dark blue or red, edged
with gold vine and standing on an
oblong matching tray.
Among the four-piece service are
sets of another porcelain SO thin that
the beverage seems to color 1t. These
sets stand upon trays Of amber crystal
having projecting handles OF gildet

For Motoring.

Even for motoring thick white
ratine is most successfully built into
smart motor coats. This ratine looks
almost like the popular pilot CLOTH
only white. These coats are perfect
ly but plainly cut and have no trim
ming, except tlSck double cord that
forms a shaped girdle and fastens the
coat on one side with an ornamental
looped motif The coat can be worn
open at the throat II preferred, when
It forms a new shaped rever on one
side only.
But the distinctive note is the origi-
nal scarf effect formed, when 1t Is
closed and the scarf all In one piece
drapes round the neck and falls tas-
seled end on the left down below the
waist The sleeves are full coat
sleeves, with the natural shoulder
line, and set perfectly plain into the

Vests Tina, Become RIouses.

The vests that appear to be nothing
but vests when worn with the coates
are so deceiving and yet so useful, that
one can well pardon them this one lit
tie failing. This feminine vest Is
quite an improvement on a mans vest
which may be viewed from the front
only. On the contrary, the woman's
vest, once the jacket or cOatee is re-
moved, at once becomes a charming
blouse that looks as though It were
made to be worn minus the outside
covering. Some women have their
vests made without the sleeves, to
be worn over a white long-sleeved
blouse, but the best are those Of long
sleeves. for put on over anything else,
this vest becomes heavy and hot

BOYS LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
strong and Rather Reliable Light
Thrown on Subject by Professor
Bailey Of Cornell.

Professor Leon H. Bailey OF Cor
nell university has been conducting
some inquiries as to why boys leave
the farm, which throw a strong and
rather reliable light upon this much
discussed question.
He addressed a circular letter to all
students OF Cornell who, he had rea-
