One hundred years ago congress en-
gagged in a warm discussion OF the
report transmitted by the president
from the secretary of war explaining
the failure of the army on the north
ern frontier. The political opponents
of President Madison and the anti
war party In general had much to
criticise In the conduct OF the war.
while the American navy had distin-
euished itself on the seas. the land
forces had accomplished little Of real
Importance Failure had resulted
from the invasion of Canada by Cen
erals Wilkinson and Hampton. The
report of the secretary Of war. which
was founded on letters and reports
received from the several command
ers. allayed much of the criticism,
with the result that congress author
lied loan of s25,0O0.000 for the fur
ther prosecution of the war.

TOR those who like jet in millinery,
4 combinations of jet and maline
prove themselves most attractive.
Masses of maline absorb and hide the
light. but jet tosses it about, plays
with it necessarily, and this union Of
luiet and glitter makes the jet and
maline hat fascinating There is moth
ing new in the combination; anything
so good does not need to be new, for
it is recommended by more sterling
virtues than mere novelty.
What is new in Jet and maline hats
is the manner of combining the two
materials, and the shapes. Just a
glance at the three hats shown in the
picture illustrates how original and
effective the designer can be in u.s.
ing the materials given her.
A dashy, jaunty little hat hints OF
the Napoleon shape, with Jet coronet
extending about the head, and crown
of half-dozen thicknesses of maline.
There Is border of folded maline
softening the outline of the brim and
two brushes or cockades Of Jet fur

NOT HARD TO UNWIND SPRING
Simple Method of Starting Clock
When the Key Has Been Given
Turn Too Much.

If In winding a clock actuated by
a spring you have given the key a
turn too much and so have wound
the spring so tight that the clock
won't run, you don't have to take the
clock to a clockmaker to have the
spring unwound. You can start it
yourself If you will go about 1t the
right way and exercise little pa
tience.
Jarring or sinking the clock does no
good. What you want to do is to hold
it up and turn it right and left quickly
but gently to oscillate the balance
wheel. The object of this, of course
is to set the clock In action and free
the spring from the binding restraint
upon it, give the spring little play
chance to exercise its own power,
If your own strong arm were bound
tightly to your side you couldn't use
it at all; but If you could work your
arm free just little bit you could
then break loose. 1t is so with the
tightly wound clock spring; give II
Just little bit of play and 1t Will
then be able to exert itself.
With your first oscillation the bal
ance wheel will stop after half doz
en- ticks, but that has helped. keel
this up for ten to fifteen minutes
and you will then have given tne
clock spring play enough to enable Il
to exert it's own power and keep the
clock going.

by an older woman. 1t is shape that
may be placed on the head at several
angles, and this widens it's field consid-
erably. For the jet hat has the ad-
vantage of appropriateness on both
youthful and elderly heads.
The turban with soft crown OF
maline and brim of jet, trimmed with
curled peacock feathers, is so smart
and unusual in style that it would ar
rest the attention anywhere. In this
folded maline follows the outline OF
the brim, and the crown is made OF
several thicknesses of maline. 1t is a
shape for the youthful wearer. The
placing of the feathers is especially
clever.
One Of the shapes which lifts away
from the left side of the head with its
crown forming background for the
profile is shown in the third picture
1t Is one Of the most successful o.
hats. There is a bandeau which al
most amounts to a cap, covered witt
frills Of maline. The shape is drapet
with net, spangled with tiny Jet Sc

feathers completes the model

and fifty PAGES when he first perceived
the shadow that skunk behind him. He
turned and crouched in a clump OF
palmetto. He knew that this porteno-
ed no immediate danger. but his heart
beat horribly.
The shadow crept onward and
evolved into a pale, anemic boy OF
some twenty years. The stout man
sprang upon him suddenly.

Maxwell"
Maxwell released his fellow-conyict
and stood watching him doubtfuliy.
For nine months James Maxwell
sforetime boss Of Luola. had done
time In the hideous turpentlne camp
in southern Mississippi. His friends
had not been idle, however. and with
the aid of a smuggled saw and
bribed jailer he had carved his way
To freedom out of the stockade. And
now this wretch had followed him.
He knew Morton as Infer" The
unhappy boy, timid and terrified by
any threat of violence. had stabbed a
man to death in quarrel about a
girl. And he, Maxwell, whose corrupt
government had slain dozens with
typhoid and ruined hundreds with
dishonesty. was serving a five years
sentence.
Come along, then," growled the
boss. and the two set off through the
scrub pine. 1t would be two hours
before the escape was discovered; !;
that would be when the warden went
his rounds at midnight. And it was
only twelve miles along the forest
trail to where lay the hidden motor
boat. which was to carry the boss out
to the yacht that lay at anchor, just
outside the national limits, three
miles away.

Maxwell looked at him in perplex-

Nobody had ever done a disinterested

'You see. Mr. Maxwell, guess

Z Maxwell growled and gnawed the
food. He had eaten no supper in his
excitement, and the bread stayed a
horrible faintness inside. When he
had eaten 1t all he rose. Come along,

As they continued their fight they
heard strange, mellow sound, very
