RETURN TO LARGE HAT
HOT WEATHER BROUGHT DOWN.
FAll OF SMALL MILLINERY.
Wide-Brimmed Tuscan and Leahorn
Shaped Now Most Favored by
Parislennes-May Be Worn
at Various Angles.

Many clever persons who consid-
cred themselves dress experts de-
ciared in no uncertain voice that the
small hat would remain in fashion all
through the summer and autumn
that the big picture hat was dead!
This is of course pure nonsense.
writes Paris correspondent. The
Parisiennes may at times adopt fash
ions which appear eccentric and ex-
traordinary. but it rarely happens that
they adopt a fashion which is insult
able. The little close-ftting hat as
originally conceived was a smart little
affair, eminently suitable for winter
wear
1t came down closely on the head.
1t permitted enormous fur stoles and
collars to be worn with comfort; it
chung to the hair in a gale of wind.
In short it was thoroughly suitable
wear, and eclectic Parisiennes must
not be blamed If the close-fitting hat
was made ridiculous by ignorant per
sons who did not know how to make
it and by others who did not know how
to wear it,
With the return of summer has come
the inevitable return of the wide
brimmed picture hat. There has not
been a summer season in which wide
brimmed tuscan and leghorn hats were
more fashionable. An that black
velvet strings are so fashionable these
hats present a delightfully."- picturesque

years back, left sum of money with
which a number of Bede houses were

and the six old gentlemen meet the

LIFE SAVED BY LETTER an"
Great Lawyer, With Lightning Quick
ness, Saw Point That Resulted
in Freedom for Client.

Has picturesqueness departed from
the bar? Either the lawyers of today
cling too tenaciously to what is simply
practical or else the reports of trials
omit the most interesting features. 1t
was not always so.
Thaddeus Stevens once saved a
mans life by single letter. He was
defending a prisoner indicted for muir
der, and the chief witness against the
culprit testified that he had heard him
exclaim: by God. have shot him"
The great Stevens insisted that
maybe the prisoner had said: my
God. l have shot him"
The change of the letter "B" to an
M in the first word of each sentence
would make mighty difference, since
the latter expression might be one of
surprise or exclamation over an acct
dental shooting. The witness con-
fessed that perhaps the prisoner had
said my instead of by" and the
jury freed him.
This was the Stevens who years be-
fore had saved $500 to buy law books
and then spent it to purchase freedom
for slave boy whom he CHANGED to
see upon an auction block. 1t was
also the same Stevens who was re-
sponsible for the impeachment OF
President Andrew Johnson.-Colum-

BENEATH THIS MANS DIGNITY
the Line at Acting as Secretary
to Barnyard Fowl.

A farmer in one of the neighboring
townships, who had gone into seieD-
tific poultry raising. hit upon the
scheme of marking each egg with GER
tain data in indelible ink. His idea
was to find which variety of chickens
laid best, and then, when the eggs
were Matched, attach a tag to the
chickens legs. He soon found that
his hired man was negligent about
properly inscribing the eggs. One day
not an egg was marked, and the farm
er read him the riot act. .
The hired man listened in sulien
silence until the boss finished Then
See here. You'll have to get an
other man"
why. jim. you're not going to leave
me, after working for me for six
years?"
Yes, l am, returned the hired
man. I've done all sorts of odd
chores for you without whimper, but

this is easily done by using revolv-
