Several millionaire families in New

laces alone. The laces owned by the
Astor family are valued at 100000;
those of the VanIerbilts at 100000.
1t is said that the New York Four
Hundred buy more lace than any
collectors in the world. No fewer
than twenty wealthy women may be
mentioned who each own lace worth.
$4,000. Lace is the luxury OF the
rich. No ordinary middle-class collec-
tor can hope to possess anything but
few choice pieces, if lucky enough
to be able to have those.
There are several fine collections
amongst the English aristocracy. The
priceless lace of the late Queen Vic
toria. worth at least $375,000, was
chiefly left to Fl. R. H. Princess Henry
of Battenberg. Queen Alexandra has
a magnificent collection; years ago its
value was said to be $250,000.

South Dakota has, it would GER

two poorly supported, and it would
be better to improve the one we

The present indications are that
it will be impossible so stir up
much enthusiasm in the coming
political campaign. Occasionally
you will hear some one remark
that large number of progressive
republicans will refuse to support
Charles Burke for United States
senator and will support Johnson.
Another will remark with the same
assurance that large number of
democrats will support Burke in
preference to johnson. Another
thinks that all the progressives III
both parties will support Dick
Richards. Another is sure that
stalwart republicans will never
support Gov. Byrne for reelection.
The chances are the wish is the
father to the thought in all of these
predictions. The democrats are
pretty we'll satisfied with the pres
tige established by President Will

close to the party ticket. The re-

By william g. shepherd United Stan Correspondent

VIENNA, oct. 19.--By Mail to New
York.)-To Mr.. and Mrs. Stanislaws:
You're probably lost in the ruck Of
some American city fighting out your
destiny as immigrant citizens, but If
this comes to your sight, it is to let
you know that the eight year old son
you left in Galicia three years ago
has become the hero Of Austria. And
he wants you to know it.
He's in the hospital here in Vienna
and he asked me to tell you, If could
find you or reach you through the
columns of American newspapers
what has happened to him. In the
first place, the biggest thing is that
a representative of the Emperor all
covered with gold lace came to
Stanny's bedside yesterday and PIN
ned an Iron Cross TO his nightgown,
right above the big hole in the boys
chest A million men have died in
this and other wars to get the cross
that Stanny's thin white fingers have
toyed with all day today. And
haven't seen as much written in all
the newspapers in Europe about the
biggest generals as has been written
about Stanny Stanislaws. This is
how it came about:
You know the old neighbor woman
you left Stanny with. near the town
Of saybusch Zywiec? Well. he and
the neighbor woman got along nicely
together until last August, when
school opened for the winter, and
the old woman told Stanny that he
couldn't go to school because he must
work for a living. Stanny didn't
know where his father and mother

where he saw trolley cars for the first
time in his life, and movies and all
the other sights of a big city. Then
he walked out into the country, to-
ward the Russian border, and got a
Job with a farmer. One day he was
stacking wheat in the fields when he
heard drums playing. He looked up
and saw a sight more wonderful than
anything he had seen in Przemysl.
There we're soldiers marching and sol
diers riding on horses, and soldiers in
automobiles and soldiers in wagons,
and on cannons and on motorcycles
and bicycles. Stanny ran out of the
field to the road He looked on for
many minutes with his heart turn ng
somersaults at every beat As far
ahead as he could see there were SOL
diers and as far behind as he could
see. They were overflowing the roa 1
and marching in the fields.
They were even spilling out
of the fields into the forests. If
you've been in the United States three
years. you've seen a circus parade by

circus parades rolled into one.
Stanny tells me that he really didn't

Stanny. He followed the band.
