ATTEMPT ON LIFE OF NEW
 YORK'S MAYOR.

It was four years ago this coming August that crazy man shot Mayor Gaynor of New York and while he did not kill him it undoubtedly had something to do with his sudden death afterwards. Yesterday another irresponsible individual shot at Mayor Mitchell, the bullet going wide Of its mark and striking the city corpora tion counsel, who was with the mayor in the face. The wound will not prove fatal but that is not the fault of the man who fired the shot. The police say he is mentally unbalanced with an imaginary grievance against the mayor and he is quoted in the mornings newspapers as saying that he is sorry for what he did.
 It is unfortunate that the lives of public men should be endangered by cranks and those with fancied griev- ances. Three presidents of the United States have been killed by such hands, another president has been shot and still carries the bullet and an attempt has been made on the lives of two mayors of New York city. It Is hard to say that such acts are the result of the teachings of any individual or body of men, although it will be re- called that Senator Root in a speech a few years ago in favor of Governor Hughes, attributed the assassination of President Mckinley to the inf1amma- tory articles which appeared in a certain New York newspaper. Whether such things are true or not the fact remains that those assaults continue at irregular intervals and when the act is committed the same old ques- tion arises as to the reason, the in- jured person rarely knowing his as- sailant.
 Assassinations are more or less common in European countries, but the alleged reasons for such crimes there are groundless here. It is sad commentary on our free country, where every man has chance for success that our public officials need a body guard to save them from as- sassination.

Do and Don't.
Milwaukee Journal.)


 It is better to say "do" to chill dren than don't There is a cer- tain perverseness in human nature that makes one desire to do or obtain what is forbidden. To forbid is, of course, necessary at times, but there are parents whose vocabulary appears to be largely made up of don'ts. It is better to keep children interested in things to do. It may not be as easy to think of things which a, child may do as to say don't about something he ought not to do, but 1t has a much better effec in the forming of the character. One develops by the things he does. So a child should be often left to exercise his own in- genuity, to amuse himself and de- termine his own play. When his ideas carry him into mischief, a sug- gestion of other plans means more than to condemn those he has fol- lowed A scolding will do less good than pointing out the foolishness and wrong of his mischief and suggesting a better way. When too many things are forbidden, there is a tendency to pay little attention to commands. The ''forbiddings" should wait until they are necessary. In the school-roOm a few rules the reasons for which are evident, lead to better discipline than many rules. The successful teacher is one who has the faculty of keeping pupils interested in things to do, rath CT than pointing out constantly things forbidden. Older people know well the temptation to the forbidden thing. It is not reasonable to expect chill dren to be better than their elders.

SPRAY FRUIT TREES IN MAY

The warm, bright days of early

II HE taste of Paris designers has
been called much in question Of
late. So much, that our faith is
no longer pinned to it. But in Paris,
as elsewhere, there are designers and
designers. Certainly that one who
originated and developed this gown
for young girl need have no mis-
gtvings as to our opinion.
There are designers who are origi-
nal and also spectacular No one
doubts their genius, but it does not
always blossom out into things beau
liful. They launch many things which
are interesting, but are not followed,
except at a considerable distance.
But the pretty gown of silk muslin
shown here may be faithfully copied,
and the result will revive our admira-
tion for French refinement.
The silk underskirt is straight, with
its scant fulness gathered in to an
underbodice, of the same silk, at the
waist line. The underbodice is cut
with very short hmono sleeves and
is full about. the waist in the kimono
fashion. Two fiouncings of the figured
silk muslin (for which lace may be
substituted) are gathered to the I'M
derskirt. The upper flounce droops
a few inches at the back.
From the waist a short pannier
made of chiffon extends to the swell
of the hip. This is supported by a

light rose-colored brocade, which is
sewed to the foundation skirt.
A fiounce of lace falls from under
this fold and over a wide finishing fold
of the brocade. This last fold ex-
tends from the right side to the left
over the drapery and terminates under
the crushed girdle just to the left
Of the front. The girdle is wide and
fastens at the back under a fiat bow.
There is a fiaring lace collar across
the back of the neck, which is sup
ported by fine wires. A double ruffle
Of chiffon is arranged in surplice eff
feet about the open neck. 1t termi-
mates at the left side under the girdle.
There are wide finishing ruffies ON the
short draped sleeves. The ruffies are
joined to the sleeve with fine mar.

This design, appropriate as it is for
the young girl, may be followed in a
general way for an. older person. The
underbodice in this case would not
be made quite SO high and the girdle
might be somewhat narrower. Drap-

fuller. But as 1t is it is a tasteful

them up with dark blue. green, purple,

black yamp and heels.
From the standpoint of economy. the
all-blaek shoe is the best choice, since

not need to consider the item of price,
the colored quarter to match a cos

Considering all that is embodied In
shoes of this character, the prices

They sell at ten dollars a pair, with

are an item of considerable expense,
but their usefulness is not confined TO
one pair of shoes, or even To shoes at
