different kinds of fur in one set is TO
be mentioned among the seasons fads
and the liking for one-skin effects in
scarfs compels attention. Both these
novelties are set forth in the picture
given here. The neckpiece at the left
is of Hudson seal trimmed with fitch
and bordered with skunk. The large
mum is barrel shaped with ends
banded with fitch.
The white fox scarf is n good exam
pie Of the one-skln scarf which is fin
ished with head, tail and four claws.
Quite often more than one skin goes
into the making Of this effect.
Fitch and Hudson seal make a beau
tful combination suited to matronly
wearers. White fox is for youth. and
everyone may wear the durable and
handsome skunk fur. All OF them ap-

the plunger so that it will fit tightly,
and yet move up and down freely.
Next get long piece of iron and make
the crank shaft (5), then insert it in
small pipe Of nearly the same size az,
and fasten 1t by clamps. Bend the
shaft to the right in the shape of a
crank and attach the piston rod CD
to It.
On the other end fasten the fly
wheel, which may be pulley or sew
ing machine wheel. After the flywheel
(6) has been attached bend the end Of
the shaft projecting to the shape of
crank. Have the two cranks at right
angles. On this crank the rod CD is
attached which runs to the valve crank
81, which is made OF piece of sheet
iron cut in O triangular shape and at
tachcd to block No Q.
From the valve crank (S) bicycle
spoke (10) is inserted in it. Cut the
nut half in two, then wrap some string
which has been we'll saturated in oil
around 1t, and this will serve as
plunger for the steam chest (11). Fig.
2. Next make the boiler, which may
be strip bucket or something similar
and solder a pipe to it.
Connect the boiler and the steam
chest by means of a rubber tube. The
water in the boiler is heated by lamp
or something similar. This is how the
engine is run. Turn the iij'wheel co.
enough SO that it will force the valve
crank back, causing the valve (2) to
open, and the steam will rush in the
cylinder, causing the piston to raise.
which will turn the fiywheel, which in
turn will push the valve crank back
and shut the valve off. The pressure
of the steam will also help to open the
valve.

THE graceful and practical modes Of
! the present time in outer gar
ments are unusually well suited to
furs, and fur coats have never been
cut on lines more impressive. But 1t
is in trimmings and in fur sets that
dealers have been able to make their
most universal appeal.
The new long coats Of velvet or
satin brocade have large, full collars
OF fur and cuffs SO ample that when
the hands are brought together they
have the effect Of a nun. But gar
ments just as smart are furnished with
neck bands and cuffs of fur only three
inches wide, SO It seems that the lati-
tude in styles is as great as the variety
In furs.
This rule holds in matched sets Of
neckpleces and NUNS. The general
trend is toward smaller and shorter
scavfs and NUTS OF moderate size.
But exceptions to this are numerous
enough for a comfortable assurance
that any gracefully shaped scarf or
nun is good style.
The most fashionable Of furs in sets
are Hudson seal, fitch and skunk. Fox
Is a favorite. and certain fine pelts, as
ermine and sable, Alaska seal. and
silver fox. are not influenced by the
modes to any very great extent. They
s-o always in demand by those who
can AFFORD them.

The typical country editor of this
part Of the West? His columns are
the annals of country folk, the his
tory Of ncighborhoods and families, the
heartbeat of the community. He is
with his people through the fat and
lean years. His paper is the diary
of their civilization.
Babes come into this world Of sin
and sorrow and maidens are given in
marriage. and the funeral procession
follows the slow moving hearse down
Main street and on across the hollow
to the cemetery on the hillside, and
the little country paper makes men
ton of each and ALL And by the
fireside in the home its pages are
gone over column by column and
paragraph, and here and there . clip
ping is made and pasted in the fam
lily scrapbook, made from an agricul-
tural report; and thus do families
compile histories Of their own. And
this is service.
And the editor prints the news
worth printing-the clean news. He
has convictions ON moral questions,
and when vice threatens the boys and
girls of his little town he takes his
| subscription list and advertising col
| umns in hand and stands shoulder to
shoulder with the preacher In Tight
| ing the good fight. For the true edt

the misconception Is hardly possible.
All newspaper criticism is based to
q large extent upon the personal atti-
tude of the critic. 1t seems difficult
sometimes for a man outside the
newspaper profession to remember
that q newspaper is made for all peo-
pie; not for any one set. nor class. nor
clique.
The newspaper is not a preacher; it
is not a Jeremiah nor a John the Bap-
fist. The world has need OF both of
these, but the world provides places
for them; that place is not in the edi-
torial chair. The newspaper Is q
chronicle of the times; q reflection of
the life Of the day. 1T makes no pre-
tension to be complete guide, phil
osopher and friend. It is only one
factor in modern life. The editor does
not seek to take the place of the pub
lie school, the higher institutions Of
learning. He does not seek to sup
plant the clergy. He leaves them their
work and expects them to do it. He
is willing to aid, but he cannot take
their work and their responsibility on
their shoulders.
The newspaper editor must be
ner SO far ahead that the people do
not follow him. He must keep in
touch with his people
Newspapers, 1 fear, are likely some
times to be Judged by their worst
specimens and by their delinquencies.
The average publisher or ealtor is not
wantonly giving the people a poorer
quality Of newspaper than they ought
to have. Experience has taught him
that the public will not have anything
better, and might be pleased with
something worse. The news standard
| is improving constantly.
While, possibly, not living up to
their opportunities, newspapers are
doing at least as much as any other
influence to promote Political Hon
esty, International Peace, Abolition OF
Poverty, and Advancement Of the
| Brotherhood Of Man. a
