WHITE GRAPE,

r He small round turbans and hats
/ which are so popular in our new
styles are particularly adaptable to
hats of Grape.
For hats of this kind the shapes
chosen are those that set squarely on
the head, with average-size crowns
and narrow brims.
The model shown can hardly be eX-
celled as an example of beautiful mil

To preserve harmony in room, the
rugs, whether one or more, must be
laid on the floor with the edges par
allel with the edges of the floor; not
thrown on, creating all sorts of ugly
spots by the rugs and by the floor
spots left around them. If one rug
is used it should conform as nearly
as possible to the room proportions,
particularly when the room is pleas
ing in its proportions. When the room
is not so the rug may help to make it
so. For example, if the room is too
long for the width, select a rug which
will nearly cover the room IN width
and will leave considerable area of
floor exposed at either end. This will
tend to shorten the appearance of
the room and to shorten it in length
by opposition of direction If a room
is to be distinctly a period room, an
Oriental rug can seldom be used to
advantage.

The veil is hemmed, by band, at the

manity!"
A bitter scowl wreathed his face
and he walked away from the spot
amongst the deep shade Of the river
path. At that moment, as he real
lied that his hand was against every
man and every mans hand against
him, the wealth that had come to
him was as worthless dross. There
was a struggle between his better ma
tuTe and the pTomptings Of his re-
cent environment, but the struggle
was not decisive.
Help
The word rang out invOluntarily
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
tramping on recklessly in his desper-
ate mood, he had not noted his
course. He had stumbled on trail
ing vine. The next moment he went
headlong down the steep decline and
was engulfed by the rushing waters
of the turbid river.
There was a vivid swirl to the cur
rent that at once swept him into mid
stream. Durham was not a swim
mer. Helpless, he sank once, twice.
Then his water-dTenched gaze made
out man on the path, % feet up the
sloping bank. He was a stranger,
and quickly dropping a satchel he
carried, he sprang into the water.
Sinking for the third time, almost
unconscious, Burnham felt himself
being seized and dragged ashore. AS
he finally regained his senses it was
to find his rescuer lying by his side
on the shore. He was pale and gasp
ing for breath.

a distant city. He carried with him
the satchel belonging to the man who
had saved his life. A change had
come over him. The first strong i'm
preston Of his new life was the sight
of the peaceful farm life. 1t fingered
like a picture. The second was graft
tude for the man who had given up
his life to save his own.
His thoughts ran rapidly. Sudden
ly, thriIlingly this outcast found his
existence directed into new channels.
He had seen that his rescUer was
buried Then he had opened the
satchel and inspected its contents.
From that moment Mark Burnham
became Eli Walters.
For he felt it a sacred trust to take
up the life Of his rescuer where the
latter had lain it down. In the satchel
he found a little hoard Of about two
hundred dollars. There were also
letters and papers. An appeal had
reached Walters from his brothers
widow, whom he had never seen.
He had decided to go to her, relieve
her necessities and devote his years
to care for her and her little family.
Burnahm found the Walters family
destitute, indeed. He had assumed
the identity of a relative they had
never seen and was accepted as the
real Uncle Eli. That hard heart of
his softened like wax as he employed
the 5000 to bring cheer and comfort
where there had been despair and
suffering. The widow was-sickly and
almost an. invalid. - There were five
little children. Within week the
children were grouping about him as
though he were a real father, and the
widow was filed with gratitude and
hope.
For the first time, one day, Burn
ham saw Ida Worth. She had been
i'll for a. month and called while he 4
was in the house. From the first, her
earnest, patient face attracted him.

Talks On Proposed Amendments.

Talks On Proposed Amendments.
Jefferson City, Sept. 5.-The
fifth of the series of arguments
on the measures to be submitted
to vote at the coming election
was today issued by Secretary of
State Cornelius Roach. Those
wishing to vote intelligently on
Amendments Nos. Five and Six
should preserve this article. The
sole purpose in giving these ar
guments is to furnish information
to the voter, and the Secretary
of State is in 10 way responsible
for assertions made on either side
any subject discussed.
The champions of Amendment
No. ) give the following reasons
why the measure should be
adpted:
This amendment applies only
to st. Louis and Kansas City, and
its purpose is to give these cities
the power by twO-thirds major
ity Of their qualified voters to
issue bonds to an amount not ex-
ceeding 5 per cent of the value
of the taxable property therein
for the purpose Of constructing or
acquiring subways and their ap-
purtenances for the transporta-
tiOn to outlying portions of the
city. Because of the large sums
! involved in the construction Of
such subways, private capital has
been slow to invest in them and
they must be constructed with
public funds. They can be
leased to private enterprises for
an amount sufficient to pay the
interest and provide a sinking
fund for the bonds.
E OPPOSING ARGUMENT.
4 Ehe reasons given by the Oppo
g nents of Amendment No. 5 why
+ it should be voted down are as
+ follows;
If this Amendment is adopted
t the people of the State will have

Big School Enrolment.

The streets we're filled Monday
morning with the youth of Lex
ington on their way to school. In
most instances the smiles and
happy chatter of the nations
hopes were Infectious and those
who had dreaded the ending of
the summers happy days had
caught the spirit of the occasion
and with the renewal of com
panionships had forgotten the
fun of yesterday and were ready
for the tasks Of today.
The enrolment showed an in
crease over the opening day Of
last year. 954 white children,
and 228 colored children were
registered. Last year the total
registration was 986 white chill
dren, and 251 colOred.
The public schools of Lexing-
ton are second to none
in the state. The Board of Ed
ucation has left nothing undonC
to further the best interests Of
the schools. Alth ough their worI

the-less given careful and intel
