JOE FOLK IS STILL
 YOUNG AT 55. YEARS

NEW YORK, Oct. 91.--Joe Folk was 5 years of age today.
 Joseph w. Folk, whose graft and corruption crusades while he was dis trict attorney and governor in Mis- souri, and whose leadership in the exposure of the financial juggling of the big railroads have kept his name close to the people of; America was born October 2S, 1859, in Browns vile, Tennessee. His education was received at Vanderbilt University from which institution he was grad uated in 1890. He studied law, was admitted to the bar, and then moved to St. Louis. Here he became prOmi- nent in his profession and in politics: In 1900 he was instrumental in bring ing about a peaceful settlement of the great railway strike in that city This feat secured his election as dis trict attorney, which office he helG for four years. It was during these four years that St. Louis saw tho exposure of graft and fraud; and many prominent politicians fled to Soutl. America to escape justice. Many were sent to jail, and Folk was mucl hated but much feared man. In 1902 he was elected to the governorship O. Missouri, and in his new office contin- ued his work of purging the state political corruption.
 He was appointed solicitor of the state department under President Wilson, and has been the leading figure in the uncovering of financial juggling of the New Haven and other railroads At the present time he is the governments attorney in the probing of the Rock Island roads financial operations before the Inter- state Commerce Commission.

Useful New Invention
Enables Anyone to Play Piano or Organ With
 out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a wonderful new system which enables any person or little child to learn to play the piano or organ in one even- ing. Even though you know abso- 1ute1y nothing about music or have never touched a piano or organ, you two. People who do not know one note from another are able to play their favOrite music, with this method without any assistance whatever from anyone.
 This new system is called the Numeral Method. We have secured the sole agency from the inventor, and, as we are desirous of at once making it known in every locality, we are making the following special free trial and half-price offer to everyone.
 You are not asked to send any money until you have tried and are satisfied with the new method. We are willing to send 1t to you on free trial, and you will not have to pay one cent unless you desire to keep it., There are no express charges to be paid, as everything will be sent by mail. Simply write us letter or postcard saying: Please send me the Mineral Method on free trial" If you are satisfied after trying it, the Method and fifty different pieces of sheet music will cost you only S. although the regular price of these is $10. You should not delay writing, as we shall not continue this special ha1f-price offer indefinitely. Later on, the Method and fifty pieces of music will be sold at the regular price.

while the missionaries themselves have had the same thought and let ters for London from representatives of the English missions are being re- ceived in Boston.
 The missions in Turkey have proba- bly, suffered most. They were able to get no money of any amount; their native Christians and assistants in school and parish work were called to the colors Turkish soldiers have been quartered in mission premises though they are usually removed as soon as the mission can make it's ap- peal to the higher authorities; in some cases schools may not be able to open as teachers and older students have been drafted and there is such poverty that boarding students cannot pay even the small tuition necessary.
 The board was about to send large group of endorsements to the Turk ish missions but they are detained, either in America or in Europe. Many teachers, especially from Turkey were on vacation in Europe or on furlough still further away and are now unable to get back The eagerness of these detained missionaries to return to the fields and their people is impressive They know so we'll the suffering there and feel that they must get back and help.
 Some of those who are held in this country will pursue further studies at the Kennedy school of missions in Hartford and at Columbia university. Two or three who had gone as far as England, will put in extra study in Oxford.

Fourteen years ago there was not a Protestant in the Philippine Islands. Now a Presbyterian synod is to be constituted with three presbyteries.
 The Edinburgh conference continual tion committee, looking on the whole missionary movement as one, plans to open immediately in London a fund for the assistance of those continental missions in eastern countries, as the Dutch, the French and the German, which are especially crippled by the war
 Dr. Robert C. Beebe, head of the Philander Smith Memorial hospital at Ranking, China, has lately received from President Yuan Shin Kai the dec oration of the Golden Harvest" an honor conferred for valuable service during the Chinese rebellion.
 At the request of the world Sunday School association, the board of for eign missions has authorized the tenn pOrary release of Rev. George Howard, of Montevideo,, Uruguay, from the di- rect work of the board for service on behalf of the Sunday School associa- tiOn, under the direction of Bishop Stuntz.
 A short time ago the treasurer of the Episcopal board of missions re- ceived the Lenten offering of Saint Matthew's Sunday school Fairbanks Alaska. It amounted to $502.08. This is, no doubt, the largest per capita giving of the Sunday schools of the American church. This is the school which gathers it's money in condensed milk cans, because the ordinary mite boxes provided by the board are neither sufficiently large nor durable.

In winter hats the Cossack shape, as well as the Hussar, are very smart. The latter are rather high and flat on top, made of cloth, velvet or fur and trimmed with jaunty fancy brushes of black or white horse hair. An or nament is usually placed where this ornament is fastened, as in the real Hussar hat the insignia of the regi- ment is usually placed there, as may be seen in the hat worn by the Kai- ser's Death Head Hussars, which is a skull and cross bones. Not cheerful, but certainly apropos to the results of war.
 The Cossack hats worn this season are made of fur, high and rounding at the top. Tn chinchilla, mink or beaver they are most striking.

Nutria is often used in place of the beaver, and so closely resembles it that only those very familiar with furs are able to tell them apart This nutria is the fur of a South American aquatic animal resembling the otter, and called a coypcn. The North American otter is also being used for those who can afford such a luxury, a coat of otter costing a small for tune. AS novelty, African monkey fur continues to rank first It is a long-haired fur, and when finishing the bottom of a tunic, the edge of a hat, or bottom of the sleeves looks like an irregular silk fringe.
 The wide bands of fur which are used on the bottom of the full skirts, or tunics, are a strong reminder of the consumes of the Russian, the Pole and the Cossack. With this as a be- ginning, the designers have harked back for inspiration to costumes of Russians and Tartars of the Middle Ages. Wonderful evening coats are made like the costumes of bartering Tartar tribes. The material is a very heavy brocade, almost of the texture of silk tapestry, while the figures scattered across it's surface are Ori- ental in origin. The garment is cut very close-fitting at the shoulders, and with sleeves set in, which flare at the bottom where they are finished with a band of fur A wide band of fur adds weight and richness at the bot tom of the coat, which flares out in deep godet ripples.
 Secondary only to fur comes braid ing. The popularity for this is no doubt due to the war abroad. For all we may talk of the barbarity of war our hearts go out to the soldier who is fighting for his country, whether he be English, German, Russian, Aus trian, or French. There is a glamor about war to the uninitiated which is reflected in the trimming and cut of our clothes.
 Wide braid is used on the bottoms of tunics and skirts in place of fur. Narrow braid binds the edges of tail ored costumes and soutache, Hercules, and round braids are used for braid ing dresses, belts, panels, collars and cuffs in attractive dcsigns. Wider braid and cord are made into frogs and buttons for the closing of coats and down the fronts of dresses, giv- ing the military effect. Even modi-

WARS ARE FOUGHT
 BY THE BOYS OF 20

That war is fought by boys is fam iliar truth that we often forget. But the recards of our own Civil War prove it overwhelmingly. The depart ment rolls show that in the great re bellion there were enlisted in the army of the North 2,77S,309 men, and, of these, 25 were ten years old and younger; 225 were F years and under, 1 ,151 ,43S were IS years and under 2,159, 79S were 21 and under; and only 61S,511 were 22 years and older.
 Thus the average of the whole army was 19.7 years.
 When war thus takes away the young manhood of the country, who can estimate it's cost?

Simple, But Cut on the Correct Lines is This Dress with Trimming of sraal center of the cOnventionalized flowers. Color combinations of small beads may be used most effectively to add the touch which tells upon an otherwise somber dress.
 Embroidery is also used to a great extent this year. Not the fine, small embroidery, but the large sprawly va riety, which is done in more or less coarse silk or wool and is more effec- tive.
 In the illustration of the coat the Cossack silhouette, which I have spo- ken of in the fore part of this letter, may be noted. The closeness of the coat at the shoulders and the flare al the bottom show the latest cut for coats. Skunk fur is used for the roll ing collar, the cuffs and the bottom of the coat. Frogs add the military note which is so popular in coats of many styles.
 This same coat may also be seen in coats of fur and fur cloth, while the bands in this case are of con trasting color, are combined into a coat Of luxurious warmth and good style.
 Although the dresses with the ex- aggerated waistline, or no waistline at all, are very much the rage, it has not taken away from the style of the more conservative frocks, whose waist lines remain normal. I have chosen for one of my illustrations dress in exaggerated, but cut on the late lines. The armhole is small, the shoulders close-fitting, the tunic flares in the latest manner, while the rather wide belt is at the normal waistline. The only trimming of this dress is a braided design which is applied to the belt, the cuffs, the col ar and the bottom of the tunic. A iaunty little hat which bespeaks com fort in all kinds of weather is worn with the costume.
 The small hat vies with the larger hats for the popularity of the major ity and the honors seem to be pretty evenly divided The women who find comfort combined with jauntiness in the small hat hesitate to change for the larger hats, but those who have made the change find that the larger hats are conservative enough in size not to cause the discomfort of those worn four or five years back and called the Merry Widow and Peach Basket hats. From such Dame Fashion, please deliver us!

 Just keep your own heart true Play you're the golden sunshine

When the husband thinks he could have done better and the wife thinks she couldn't have done worse, some divorce lawyer gets the price of a new runabOut.
 Mothers idea of a calamity is when the pastor is ill and there are n0 ser vices on Sunday But fathers idea of a calamity is when the beer rIaT. is ill and doesn't show up on Sat- urday, and father has to go d~y on Sunday.
 This would be a better world if mother got more help and sympathy when she is alive and less bawling and flapdoodle when she is dead.

 Close in the wake of braiding comes beading. Many handsome frocks have belts which are beaded in some attrac- tive design in colors rich and dark, which adds snap and smartness to the entire frock. One blue dress made after the popular Moyen Age style had a belt which widened in the front and dropped rather low.
