For the Table

The new table-runners are decidedly
attractive They lend touch of artistic
coloring to an otherwise sombre room,
and are very easy TO make The en-
broidered ones are popular, as we'll as
those decorated with a stencil pattern.
An Indian style seen recently is made
out of brown crash. The ends are deo-
GRATED with a conventional design, worked
in bright red, green, blue. yellow and
black. The hem was caught In place by
wooden beads. sewed about a half inch
apart. This is entirely appropriate to
the India idea, and it's crudeness of de-
sign is one of It's charms,

Photography is n fine field for women.
The English women, especially, are MAX
ing great strides toward success In this
line. In the telegraph and telephone Serv-
Ice, the commercial and business clerks,
the tobacco and bootmaking manufac-
tories, women are making their places
every day.
On the contrary. the trades usually at
rtbuted to women-washing and laundry
work, for instance-are rapidly showing
significant decrease. The reward of
the daring pioneers Is at hand.

MODES OF
THE HOUR
Color, Material and Cut of Frock Are
Unities to Consider in Making
Purchase.

Purchase.
The color, the material and the cut OF
the frock are the unities to consider when
one lie about to buy or TO make or to
have one made. The least Of the three
Is not by any means color, nor Is n beau
tiful color enough of itself. 1t must har-
monlze with eyes, hair and complexion,
or the frock will lose its style and the
wearer will look Eauche.
Color is an important factor I'm life.
Certain colors, like red and the brilliant
greens and purples, are stimulating, while
the blues and the vlolets and the soft
browns are restful and soothing. Natu-
rally, every one Is not responsive TO color
in the same degree, but every one is
affected by Il up to certain point, though
quite often unconsciously,
The art Of dress is an instinct with the
majority Of women, though there arc
startling exceptions.
IL is doubtful II there was ever time
when greater variety was offered than
the present, so that every type Of woman
ought to be able to fad something which
seems to belong to her and to set off,
rather than subdue or clash with her
personality.
The use of velvet for froclts for day
time and evening has much to recom-
mend II and only one drawback, the ex-
pense. The softness of pussy willow taft
feta has made It n favorite among the
silks, and now that circular and shirred
skirts have been indorsed by the Amer
lean Fashion Fete. II will, no doubt, in
crease in popularity.
Fashions seem to be almost as un-
settled as the map of Europe, so that
to predict a mode or style has perhaps
no value other than that of a personal
opinion. But a really full skirt has some-
thing of the value of n new toy to wo-
mon now, and the ripping fulness OF
the now models is so utterly charming
that It seems as II the circular skirt would
bo a distinct mode by spring,
The flower petal soallops OF the frock
pictured are being used for afternoon and
The effect of the skirt ls that of two
tiers, as tho drop skirt is almost of q
length with the outer circular ruffie.
To make the assurance OF fulness doubly
sure the ruffle is tucked at the top and
set under the scallops of the upper
rufTie.
The bodice is cut on usual lines. There
Is a basque girdle in front. draped and
full, with a decided decolletage.
The basque motive is used for the back.
II fastens over the glrdle at the waist
and, coming down over the shoulders in
front like a yoke, It fastens at the throat,
leaving the neck below uncovered.
The vogue for sleeves OF different
material to that OF which the frock is
made trlumphs here, and lace, dyed to
tho same tone as the taffeta, is used for
tho long, close-fltting sleeve that Is very
much the mode at present.

A farmer did not know what business
to start his son in, SO he put him in a
room In which there was nothing but a
Bible. an apple and a S5 bill. He decided
that If he found the boy eating the apple
he would make him a farmer; If reading
the Bible. he would train him for the
church, and II he had pocketed the money
he would make him a stookbroksr.
Entering. he found the boy sitting on
the Bible and eating the apple, with the
SIS bill in his pocket.

FIND MISER'SHOARD
Charity Patient at Newton Hos
pital Had Valuable Farm
and SIS, 900.
SISTERS THE BENEFICIARIES
Search of Charles Perrine's Home
Near McLain Revealed Money
Hidden in Strange Places.

Taken to hospital in a dying con-
dition, as an act of charity, Charles
Perrine, 73 years of age, an old sol
der, who has lived the life of a her
NIT forty years, had $500 in bills in
his clothes. The finding of this money
gave Perrine's sisters, Mrs. Georgia
Ann Muller, of Girard, Ill, and Mrs.
Emily Waggoner, of Villain, Wash,
who had been summoned here from
Girard, ILL.,, an idea that he might
have more money concealed in the
house on his farm near McLain, and a
visit there on the day of his death, re-
suited in finding 1895 in currency and
$65 in gold in old clothes hung on the
wall of his bed room.
No further search was made until
the second day following, after his
funeral when another search was
made and sf,195 in currency found in
various places. The search was kept
up until a total of S5,135.80 was I'M
earthed
Perrine came to this county forty
three years ago and homesteaded a
farm near McLain. About twenty
years and he quit work and rented his
farm. The small amount he received
as rent and a pension of SO month,
constituted his entire resources. He
was never known to have money. His
house was a two-roonl shack affair,
and gave every evidence of extreme
poverty.
Old tin cans were heaped in one cor
ner of the living room Under a pile
OF these a loose heap of bills amount
ing to several hundred dollars was
found In tin can was an old wal
let, made from the tops of a pair of
boots, which contained $685.. In a to-
bacco sack, covered By a heap of old
bottles, was found $3.50 in gold, and
money was found in other as unlike
~ places.
The farm which he homesteaded is
now valued at $4,000. Perrine was
taken i'll on a visit to Newton and
was taken to a hos pital as an act of
charity by lawyer he knew. he
has always lived solitary life and
had little or nothing to do with his
neighbors. His clothes were always
OF the poorest description. His estate
will go to his sisters by the terms of
an old will which was found.

Predicts Republican Congress.

Not only Uncle joe Cannon, but
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Rodenberg are
coming back to the house from Ilit-
nois," remarked A. H. White, a promi-
nent lawyer of Chicago, at the Will
lard. The people are out of patience
with the Democratic party, and they
want a change In the cities-Chica-
go, for example-the number of unem-
ployed is growing every day, while in
the agricultural districts the farmers
are complaining because, notwith-
standing good crop prospects, they ara
not getting the same prices for their
products that they did in Republican
days Perhaps it is unreasonable to
blame the Democratic party for all
the evils, but when it comes to voting,
the farmers and the city people don't
stop to argue about who are to blame,
but set down the party in power as
the culprit.
That is going to prove the big fac
tor in the coming congressional cleo
ton and will change Is big Democratic
majority in the house into a Republi-
can majority. 1t has been done before,
and history will peat."-Washingt on
