American "RoyaItY.v

The American Bonapartes, one OF
whom was married q short time ago
in New York, are descendants OF the
Emperor's youngest and most trouble
some brother, Jerome. from whom
Prince Victor Napoleon, the present
head OF the house. also traces his
descent.
Jerome married Miss Elizabeth Pat
terson In Baltimore in 1903, but his
brother refused to recognize the mar
riage and in 1906 annulled 1t, married
him to Princess Catherine OF Wurtem-
berg. and made him King Of West
phalia.
The American Bonapartes derive.
from the Patterson marriage and the
European family from that with the
German princess. The American fam
lily have been generally undistin-
guished, but one OF its members.

American navy from 1905 to 1906.

F there ia mi article Of clothing
i upon which the manufacturers may
depend for a long, long profit, more
than upon any other, it is the fancy
waist made Of lace, chiffon, net. silk,

not in themselves very expensive, but
tho finished product, as in the case
of millinery, Is SO much a matter of

to $50 in the most casual and off-hand

that is in the neighborhood Of two or
three dollars. Or a foundation waist
may be made a very little cheaper at
home. But those to be had in the
shops are cut on good and up-to-date
lines. These waists make the best
of foundations on which to drape the
chiffon or net or lace or other fab
RIGS which enter into the composition
of fancy waists.
Chiffon wells, in pretty colors and
with hem-stitched edges, are easily
used to make drapery for these waists.
Plain chiffons, embroidered voiles, and
nets, answer the same purpose. In
the waist pictured here wolfe is draped

In attempting a fancy waist, 1t is

GOOD ROAD WORK
CHAIRMAN ISSENHUTH OF STATE

TELLS SOME FACTS.

Sioux Falls.-E. c. Issenhuth of
Redield. S. D., chairman of the state
highways commission and father OF
The good roads movement in South
Dakota, who attended the silver jubi-
less and Homecoming celebration, de-
clared in an interview that. while
South Dakota Is behind other states
in highway development, the commits
sion is optimistic because OF the re-
newed interest in the work that Is be-
ing shown in every county.
lone who has studied the facts will
find that we have not progressed pro-
p~ortionately with other states" he
said, "but indications are now that we
are approaching an epoch OF road
building such as this section OF the
northwest has never before seen. The
commission has beer hampered III
their work 81 carrying on al educa-
tional campaign by lack of funds. The
fact is not generally known that the
legislature failed to make an appropri-
alton for the work, although other
commissions OF no more Importance
to the growth and development Of the
state have been given ample a%ppropri-
atoms.
Under the law, a tax levy can now
be made for good roads work. In 1912
less than 500, 900 was levied by the
seven different counties which partici-
pated. In 1913 ffty-three counties
made a total levy OF $685. 900 and only
seven counties made no levy. That's
conclusive proof that the sentiment
for good roads is growing rapidly. I'm
der the law, a levy Of 5 mills, or such
proportion of that amount as the com
mission sees fit, can be made"
The state highways commission was
created by an act OF the 1913 legfsla-
ture. The present members are r. G.
~Issenhuth of Redfeld. Ben M. Wood
of Rapid City, and n. O. Monserud OF
Sioux Falls. So far the campaign of
education has been carried on by the
members OF the commission at their
own expense or railroad fares and ho-
tel bills. At every good roads meet
ing held in the state a member Of the
commission has attended or a be
procured for lectures on request to the
chairman.
The next big good roads meeting
will be held at Brookings June 20
when the Winnipeg-to-the-Gulf road
will be dedicated by the commission
as State Highway No. 3. The road
from Clear Lake across the state to
and from Sioux Falls to %Iroquois, state
highway No. l, have already been ded-
icated. Meetings have been recently
held at Aberdeen, Geddes and CLARK
before large audiences.

This is a hat with considerable dura-
bility to recommend it, as we'll as
good looks.
Flowers, SO much in evidence on
the dressier hats Of the season, are
not used On outing or travelling hats.
But fruits, less fragile. are q. part Of
the play, with cherries as the star.
Fringed ribbons, that is. ribbons
raveled out into fringed ends, or
spaces, are pleasing on hats that de-
pend on ribbon alone for decoration.
But there are not many of these.
Too many good ornaments made ready
to use, too many good substantial
fancy feathers, save the time Of
trimmers.
The trimming of hats Of this kind
is distinctly within the scope Of the
home milliner. A shape originally be-
coming and simply trimmed is sure to
turn out satisfactorily. Among ones

Decision Due Soon.

Hudson.-The residents Of Hudson
are a%nXiously awaiting a decision Of
Judge Jones, OF the state circuit court.
In the saloon license case which NAV
result in Hudson being declared dr.
for the year commencing July /. Prom
inent attorneys of the county who
nave made a study of the case declare
there is o much chance of the deci-
sion being in favor of license. They
state that according to a new law
which went into effect in 1911 the
town hat had no legal election since
1911, because no registration books
for town elections were provided, as
required, and that consequently no To-
gal town elections has been held in
Hudson since that time. If the deci,
sion OF Judge Jones Is in substance to
this effect, the hopes of the "N cts"
will go glimmering, and a special cleo
zion will have to be held and town Of
GERS legally elected and the men who
constituted the town board in 1911
would have TO call the special election
20 make it legal and binding.

Presently M OF the barrels COM
mences to rock up and down and
dance at a great rate, sometimes dis
appearing under the water and re-
appearing at a distance. Then a boat
Is lowered and its occupants row as
rapidly as possible toward the float
ing barrel. Backward and forward. In
circles and winding lines, the elusive
cask Is pursued. and only after q
long period Of hard rowing, sometimes
for hours, Is 1t captured and towed to
the yact. the hooked fish dragging
after it as a matter of course.
The tactics pursued at night are diff
ferent. A line Of great strength, 300
feet long. Is employed with the usual
hook and chain attached and baited az
described above. One end of the rope
Is tied to the wharf and the we'll
baited hook Is thrown a few yards
away into a shallow pool in the mid
die OF a patch Of moonlit sand. Very
soon q dark object is seer gliding
like a shadow from the deep water

hating a few feet from the bait, the
fishermen, OF course, all sitting as still
as statues a little distance away.
When tho fish has made a meal Il
starts off back to tho deep water
again, and the rasping OF the rope
signifies that the hook Is In its mouth.
Then-and not until then-the men
jump for the rope and run with it in
the opposite direction. The shallow
water is o cut into foam as the
taut line Is pulled through It, and the
shark %splashes with great ~fierceness
and fights strongly for it's life. The
Juggling men sway rapidly to and fro
until their efforts are at last trium-
plant, and the shark is hauled up on

ALFALFA PRAISED BY EXPERTS
Holden's Special Train Visits Elk
Point,

Elk Point.-Prof. p. G. Holden and
his alfalfa special. which is making
a tour of South Dakota, was in Elk
Point. Farmers throughout this sec
ton of the state are interested in the
raising OF alfalfa and a large crowd
was here to greet the special. Speech
es were made by Prof. Holden, A. Z.
Chamberlain and J. e. Waggoner.
Alfalfa is the coming crop, the
speakers declared, and during the
curse of the talks brought out its
value, both as a food and fertilizer,
being used by many farmers for the
express purpose Of stimulating the
soil. Hogs, cattle and horses like it
as a food, and the hogs and cattle fat
tened with the air of alfalfa are far
superior to the corn fed animals, the
speakers declared.
