The Fleetion

Never in the history of the town has there been such a quiet, good natured contest as that of yesterday. There were no fights, no druuks. Perhaps it was the introduction of the gentler sex into the ranks of voters that calmed the troubled spirits of the contestants.

How the Rain Bores Holes.

When rain falls 1t does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores it's way
in, forming tiny tubes, says the Reno
both, Sunday Herald. These tubes are
so small that it would be impossible
to insert hair in one of them with
out bursting its walls Sometimes the
tubes are bored down to depth of
four or five feet. When the surface
dries the water evaporates from the
tubes, just as it would from a pine.
II the tube is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate.
II one takes a rake and stirs the
ground after each rain he breaks the
tops of the tubes and the water will
stand in them for months. In this way
the farmers of the West, on semi-arid
lands, store the rainfalls one year
and raise crop of wheat every other
year, there being sufficient water in
two years. but not enough in one, to
raise crop.

FOUND WAY TO SEE PARIS
EngIishman Quickly Got on to Scheme
Which Enabled Him to do" the
City Thoroughly.

There is very good friend OF mine,
whom l now call the New Innocent
Abroad, says writer in the London
Times Though he has lived the great
er portion of his life in the West end
of London, circumstances have always
conspired to prevent him crossing the
channel.
He cannot speak a word Of French,
and last week he spent three days in
Paris.
When he came back / went to see
him

said when I met him, because dis

these French cab drivers are men with
wonderful intuitions They knew at
once that really wanted to see Paris
IN all it's beauty. So they took charge
of me, and whenever | wanted to go
from one Office to another they drove
me all round the city.
Often after the first day ! knew
that the place l wanted to call at was
not more than a few hundred yards
away from the hotel Still the cab
drivers determined that should inn
prove my knowledge of Paris.
THE proper way to pursue this
method of sightseeing is to drive for
half an hour in silence. Then you
stop the cab with violent signals, pro-
duce your written address again and
flourish it in the drivers face.

REAL CAUSE FOR ANXIETY
Old Gentleman's Exceedingly Neat
Rejoinder to TactIess Remark
Made by Nephew.

There is an old gentleman in Phil
adelphia approaching the ninety mark
who still finds much zest in life, and
having retained all his faculties, he
feels that few of the physical dis
abilities of age are of small account
HIS nephew is man of small tact

A few weeks before the old gentle

think you'll live to get back?"

l'IE milliner may go forth and gath
! er what she will, for Fashion has
supplied her garden with all sorts OF
flowers and ribbons and inconsequen-
tial but alluring fabrics. Her path is
strewn with roses and other things
which may be most agreeably united
into such expressions of youth and
pleasant weather as the pretty hats
shown here bespeak
1t happens that black maline makes
background for gay flowers which
allows those who dream out our hats
to put many sorts and colors together
Black tempers the color-riot and
proves an inspiration to the dreamer
One such inspiration accounts for the
excellence of the hat of black hemp
with facing of kLife-plaited maine in
which a bouquet of roses and jasmine
find resting place.
The shape is fiat, an almost crown
less model set on a wide bandeau
There is wreath OF small half-bloWn
roses laid about the juncture of the
brim and crown, or what may pass for
crown. A little to the left of the
front the brim lifts in a sharp point,
and where 1t droops at the right it is
weighted with a rosette of black rib

M ORE independence in the matter
AVA of headwear than is evident In
any other of their diversions and oc-
equations is shown by women who
spend much time in the auto. Silk
bonnets and chiffon wells for the long
tour made a good start in the race for
popular favor In the spring, but no
one style or material actually achieved
lead.
Silk braids sewed row on row to
foundations of crinoline or net and
stayed with one, or at most two, small
wires, make it possible to develop
hat in any color Besides these
made hats the soft hemp and sim
liar shapes that come in such immense
variety ready made. present many
shapes designed for the autoist.
Those auto hats showing a combina
ton OF braid brim and silk crown may
be depended upon for comfort and du-
rability, and they are as becoming as
any of the all-braid hats. Two de-
signs of this kind are shown in the
picture given here
One of these has moderately close
fitting crown of silk A group of plaits
extends across it from front to back
The brim Of hemp braid turns back
and is finished with side plating Of
narrow ribbon matching the silk IN
color. At each side and toward the
back straps Of silk hold the long chif-

dreau underneath to keep it in place.
The shape is not worn at the ex-
IRENE angle which many wearers like
for similar shapes. But the sharp
droop Of the brim serves the same
purpose as such an angle; it makes
the right underbrim a background
against which at least part of the
profile is silhouetted. And at the left
side there is an opportunity to study
the pretty dressing of the hair.
An extreme of the mode, but a
pleasing example of 1t, rivals the black
hat. 1t is made of maline and lace
trimmed with forget-me-nots. The
big rosette of narrow velvet ribbon
mounted at the right supports two
blossoms of the cape jasmine flower.
One OF them overhangs the brim,
dropping to the shoulder.
This hat is managed in its curious
pose by the way In which the brim is
placed on the crown. In reality the
crown sets almost squarely on the
head. But the impression one gets of
this bit of fancy headwear is that it is
about to slide off at the left side. 1t
is a rakish little affair for a frivolous
mood such as belongs to those who go
a-pleasuring in the good old summer
time.

fon veil in place when it is adjusted
to the bonnet
The other hat. of silk and braid, has
small pulled crown of silk with h
broad band of hemp braid extending
about it, The brim is like that in the
hat just described There is a little
fiat bow of braid, used in the manner
of ribbon, at the front These fiat
bows of straw or heavy silk braid
or of folded ribbons are most an
propriate on auto hats.
Two of the remaining hats are made
of silk-fber millinery braids, and the
remaining one is a pressed shape of
hemp. A glance at them shows the
extreme simplicity Of trimming which
is allowed the auto hat.
The most satisfactory veil is a large
square Of hemstitched chiffon. Smoke
color and green are about the most
satisfactory in point of color but the
veil of washable crepe chiffon, in deem
cream color, has many loyal adher-
ents who find its washable qualities
the best of charms. One can wash
and dry 1t over night and 1t is ready
for use next morning as good as new.
Lisle thread gloves have the same
advantageous qualities for the auto.
ist. There is an inspiration in their
freshness and the knowledge that they
are clean

How to Win an Author.

There's no greater fallacy," said
an author at the New York Authors
club, than the popular one to the
effect that writer's don't like you to
talk to them about their work.
Mark Twain exploded this fallacy
well when he said that. there were
three ways of pleasing an author:
First, to tell him that you have read
one of his books; second to tell him
you have read all his books, and, third
to ask him to let you read the manu-
script of his forthcoming book The
first way wins his respect, the second
wins his friendship, and the third wins
his love-

LOVE WINS kAISER'S SON

German nobility, society and Off
cialdom, are astonished at the an
nouncement that Prince Oscar of Prus-
STA, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm, is to
marry Countess Ina Marie, daughter
of Count Bassewitz of Mecklenburg
1t Is the first instance on record
where a man of the reigning branch
OF the Hohenzollerns has been NOR
ganatically engaged to wed While
the young countess is a woman of
rank, she is not of royal blood.
1t is assumed that the emperor,
who consented to the engagement,
will confer higher rank in the nobil-
ity on the young countess. The en-
peror's consent is said to have been
granted owing to the lack of an avail
able German princess and to his aver
sion to foreign marriage for his son.

Pearls and Rubies.

Pearls may be found nearly any
where in waters inhabited by oysters
or mussels. Some of Canada's fresh
water pearls have fairly high value.
The Mississippi has also yielded val
liable pearls. Rubies have usually
come from the East-India or Ceylon
though South America has furnished
some good specimens. Oil wells are
really excavations into underlying
lakes or fields" of petroleum, gener-
ally found ON this continent just above

BROADER GENERAL SHARPE'S BIG JOB

of food supplies, and for this reason
It is necessary to furnish much more

GIVES CREDIT TO GORGAs

America will get all the credit
perhaps for completing the Panama
canal, but in giving praise where 1t
is due, the work Of the French engi-

French overlooked the most impor-
tant requisite in the Panama canal
zone-that of proper sanitation. Had
our engineers been supported in their
work by a Colonel Gorgas, the Amer
lean nation might not have had the
opportunity to buy the canal.
Il think it only justice that some
tribute be paid the French for their
share in this great project. 1t is true
they failed, but not through lack OF
funds, as is proved by the beautiful
