LUTHER WINS EASILY.
Defeated Lenox College at Basket
Ball by Score of 60 to q.
Other College News.

The LenoX quintet journeyed to
DEBORAH Dec. II for the first inter
colligate basket ball contest of the
season. The Lenox five was severe
lly handicapped on this trip because
two regular players, one of them
Capt. Morgan, were unable to play.
The best of feelings existed between
the two opposing teams. Lenox play
ed clean basket ball and were a very
gentlemanly bunch of players
throughout the entire game. Their
team work started poor and. contin-
ued so throughout most of the game,
because they were especially weak
in handling the ball and dribbling.
Their passing lacked the snap and
accuracy displayed by Luther and
were very weak on short passes
wherein Luther was excellent.
For Luther the game began with
snap. Capt. Gigstad tipped the
ball from center and then the team
work started. At times 1t was mar
velous to watch. Sampson made
the first three field baskets of the
game and then Gigstad, Harstad,
Ericsson and Seebach began to roll
the ball in. This continued through
out the first half which ended in a
score Lenox 5, Luther 38.
In the second half Gigstad kept
getting away from his man every
now and then so as to make few
more points. But Ericsson starred
in basket shooting, making in all
eleven baskets. Seebach played
his steady game at guard letting no
one past. He stopped every man
dribbling down the floor.
Taken all in all the Luther team
is in excellent shape for such an
early part of the season. The
team is strong in every department
which makes it we'll balanced
quintet.
Each player is a star and they
work together in such a way that
they play stellar basket ball. Fol.
lowing is the line up.

WIFE is FOOLED BY DOUBLE
Woman Sees Teamster on Street

Her Spouse.

Chicago.-Somewher within the
city roams a double of Edward Hef-
fern, a teamster. His is no slight re-
semblance, but a facial similarity that
would do credit to twin.
Heffern was sent to the brideweli
Feb. IA by Judge Gemmill Of the
court of domestic relations for non

Heffern raced into the court and dash

The bailiff looked up the court rec

six months. He called up the bride
we'll and was assured that the man
was still there. He called up Hef-
ferns former employer and was told
that Heffern was in Jail. Mrs. Hef-

| BLACK SATIN HAT RETAINED
Though White Seems to Be Coming
Favorite Color, Yet This Style
ls Always Smart.

While colors are TO be rampant this
year and spread themselves over the
world like a gorgeous sunset or rain
bow. yet the tiny black satin hat is to
be very smart indeed. 3. The woman
who is In doubt what to choose when
she is bewildered by the sulphur pur-
pie, bronze and red shades offered
would do well to on'dly retreat to-
ward conservatism AMI choose a hat
of black satin that has little trimming
and owes its beauty to it's shape.
Such hats are not what they used
to be. They are distinctly of this sea-
son. The shape is rather stiff, with a
rolls slightly back at the edges; over
this the satin is stretched and finished
at the seams with cord or piping
There are no folds or bows or full
crown bands; all Is as smooth and de-
mure as a mans silk hat The trim
ming is placed fiat on the brim and is
made up of any kind Of feather that
has spirals and looks struggling and
careless
The best known choice is a feather
called numidie ands which is more or
less expensive and very fashionable
The peacock feathers are on this or

why they have returned to favor
Straw and wheat are also used, and
whatever does not lie fiat on the brim

BLOUSE CUT IN ONE PIECE
One of TuIIe VaIenciennes Is Made
With Neither Trimming Nor
Fullness.

The newest cream white blouses are
more plain than ever. The prettiest
are tulle valenciennes, or a kind of
soft point d'esprit with figures like
those in the valenciennes design. One
blouse of this material has not the
slightest trimming or fullness except
IN the back where there is tiny bit
10 cover the opening and make 1t look
like a narrow plat. The entire thing
Is made in one piece, the sole garnish
being little button studs of black vel
vet in two rows at the throat, both
back and front, and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round, with
cording of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature of this blouse,
which was designed in house in the
Place Vendome and intended for the
Riviera, is the sleeves MADE all in one
piece, with no extensions whatever. 1t
Is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together No doubt the styles
Tor the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
at a period when cuts and finishes are

and slow A joke has to be as broad
as q beam before a Sussex man can
see it. The fairy stories of the Celts
who hewed their wood and drew their
water were beyond their imagination,
though in some parts the curious word
"pharisee" is used as a substitute for
fairy, which shows some knowle dye
of the little people. The county,
however, abounds in ghost stories,
which seems strange at first sight, as
the people are so little ethereal while
they are walking about among their
neighbors; but on examination the
very ghosts have substantial air,
with something uncanny added, and
many of them are practical enough in
their doings. Perhaps it is not alto
gether fanciful to see reflected in the
churches, which are also their princi-
pal public buildings, the monumental
but solid and enduring qualities of the
people of the land. The most preva-
lent style is the early English. But
owing to a scarcity of local stone, the
materials had to be brought over from
Caen and, owing to their want of i'm
agination, the churches are seldom re-
markabie for delicate carving, or for
clustered columns and other beauties
of stonework; but many of them make
up for this lack by the nobility of
their proportions. A remarkably large
number of the churches of Sussex date
in the earliest part of their structure
from the two hundred and fifty years
following the preaching of st. Wilfred.
The most important, as well as the
earliest, of these is that Of the ancient
port of Bosnian, in the extreme west
of the county. 1t is known that as
early as A. d. $50 Eappa, monk, had
ecclesiastical charge of this parish. The
building is upon the site of Roman
temple. Some Roman bricks which
are to be seen in the walls must have
been dug up near by and put in their
present place at later date.

Healthy Baby is

In spite OF the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus Is TO
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of laxatlve-tonlc

been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar bottle, and those who are
already convinced of its merits buy
the dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
icine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. It is sure in
its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little of it is required and its
frequent use does not cause it to lose
its effect, as is the case with SO many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits

Curtains of Fine Net.

1t has always been possible to get
coarse nets in crude colors. This year
one of the fine nets has appeared in
soft artistic shades that are delight
TO the eye; old blue, mulberry, brown,
light blue, and pink are a few of the
colors. 1t is SO inches wide and sells
for so cents a yard. 1t will make
satisfactory substitute for two sets
of curtains, combining the transpar-
ency of the white net and the color of
silk or linen, says a writer for the
Pictorial Review The bungalow nets,
also colored, are very effective. The
designs are large and there are usu-

another blue and ecru, etc. These
are SO inches wide, and sell for $3.50.

The Wilmington On. Co. Morning
Star contains the following notice of a
West Feliciana boy, F. F. Pillet:
In the construction work of the last
two years, which has resulted in trans
forming Wilmington into a modern
city, Mr.. f. F. Pillet, the city engineer,
who was recently reelected to sue
coed himself, has taken most active
and important part His has been one
of the busiest departments under the
municipal government and the sue
cessful construction of the new streets
and other public improvements would
have fully demonstrated his unusual
ability as an engineer, had such DEM
onstration been necessary This was
not the case, however, for the reason
| that he had already won his spurs be-
fore coming to Wilmington to make
his home. Mr.. Pillets work comes un.
der the Department of Streets and
Wharves and he does all of the engi-
neering work required by the city. The
splendid paving paid for out of the
100000 bond issue was done after his
plans and under his supervision, as en-
gineer and they will compare favora-
bly, with those of any thoroughfares
anywhere, from an engineering point
of view, as will also the other public
improvements, made since he has held
office Mr.. Pillet is native of Louisi-
ana, having been born in Pointe Cou-
lpee Parish, and educated at the State
| University. Before coming here two
years ago, upon the recommendation
of some of the most eminent engineers
in the South, he was for ten years
resident of Mobile, Ala, where he oc-
cupied the position of assistant city
engineer.

ROAD DEMONSTRATION NEXT
TUESDAY.

The proposed demonstration Of road
working machinery, under the auspices
of the police jury, will begin next Tues
day morning at six o'clock, on the
Woodyille road, at the limits of the
town corporation, and will continue
for three days.
Demonstrations are to be given on
level roads, sandy roads and hilly
roads. The level road work will be
done on the Woodville road. For the
hill work, the upper Jackson road, in
the vicinity of Mr.. j. P. Bowman's
property, has been selected while the
road between town and the Wickliffe
place has been chosen as affording OPP
portunity of showing what can be ac-
complished in sand and on hills. These
three pieces of road will offer severe
test to machinery Of this kind, and the
time allotted, three days, ought to be
long enough to bring out the defects
in any of the machinery, considering
the terrific strain which will occur in
the sand and hills.
Three companies who manufacture
woodworking machinery already have
their outfits here, and are now ready
for the demonstration. 1t is possible,
though not certain, that other firms
will have machinery here in time to
enter the contest
The public is cordially invited to be
present and witness any or all of these
tests.
The police jury of East Feliciana ex-
poets to send a committee here to wit
ness the demonstration with view to
probable purchases if everything goes
as the machinery people anticipate.
