Home

Where burns the lov'd hearth brightest
Cheering the social breast?
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
Its humble hopes possessed?
Where is the smile of sadness,
OF meek-eyed Patience born,
Worth more than those of gladness
Which Mirth's bright cheek adorn-
Pleasure is marked by fleetness,
To those whoever roam;
While grief itself has sweetness
At Home-dear Home.

CHERUIT DANCE GOWN ON
EXTREMELY SIMPLE LINES

TT is as hard TO select q
becoming frock or tall
ieur Just now as It is to
write about them, for the
season is neither in the
process of dying out or of
reformation. Between sea-
sons styles are a trying
series; they have the char
acteristics OF the old and
the new, put together in
a conglomerate mass, far
from being representative.
The hats are noncommit-
tai models, featuring furs
and feathers and flowers
in cautious groupings. The
suits are conspicuous by
their absence, for there
are few manufacturers
who can trust their new
materials to an unknown
and caprlclous freak of
fashion. l remember when
the Russian tunic came
out. The cloak and suit
makers had been success
full in giving us these
tight, hounced skirts, with
one or two ruhles at the
hips. All the spring tail
leurs we're made on these
lines; the fad was quite es-
tabllshed. when-overnight
the Russian tunicked
skirt, with its graceful,
knee-length double-decker
skirt, made its bow to the
flckle public.
So we can prepare our
selves for startling disclos-
ures during the next few
months, since most of the
buyers are getting out
stunning creations for
Palm Beach and the South.
Most oe the fashlonables
will find themselves forced
to depend upon made-in-
America styles to a great
extent, too, so that the
producers feel called upon
to do their est.

TEUTONIC ALLIES NOW
HOLD ALL PRzEMYSL

Berlin, June REPORTS from the
Galician front indicate that the Aus
tro-German troops are now in COM
plete possession of all parts of Pre-
mysl. The Russians contested stub
bornly each advance, but at length
were driven from the eastern and
southeastern forts. which were the
last TO fall.
IL is generally admitted that the
larger part of the Russian forces in
Przemysl were able to effect a retreat
eastward by defending the positions
toward the south. This checked the
attacking army of General Won Boehm-
Ermolli and temporarily prevented
the complete encircling of the city.
Although the railroad line along
which the retreat occurred was under
the fire of field guns they were too
far away to be effective.
Apparently the city suffered little
during the Russian occupation. Huge
stores of provisions were recovered
and considerable amount of war ma
terial was captured.
Immediately after the occupation
of Przemysl General Won Mackensen's
army pressed eastward. 1t encoun-
tered the Russian rear guards on the
heights neal Medyka. where fighting
still is in progress.

fuence of a generous run and bear

received a set back on Wednesday,
while the close has been strong, put
ting values on a strong basis as COM
pared with the finish of last week.
Supplies of feeding cattle reaching
this market for the week have been
light, as this is just between seasons.
Market has shown only minor
changes, good kinds ruling strong,
while some easiness has been noted
in the outlet for medium and plain
kinds.
Week end hog trade drew a fairly
generous supply, but with no change
reported at other centers and good,
broad demand, sellers were able to
secure prices that averaged about
steady. Tops reached S7.45, while
the big end of the days business was
done at $40.
Sheep supplies were all billed di-
rect to packers and no change was
reported.

with their rifles and explode It. Often.
however, they whistle for help, and the
guardian destroyer, that usually watch
es over them, responds, and a shot or
two from her quick frers put the mine
where 1t will never fulhll it's mission of
destruction.
At the D~ardanelles the trawlers have
been operating under fire that made
even the battleships uncomfortable.
The fishermen, who have become fatal
lists from their long association with
the sea, carry out their dangerous work
with the utmost stoiclsm.
Work Ahead Of Warshlps.
The great vessels OF the allied navies,
vessels like the famous Queen Eliza
beth, hover about behind them, drop
ping shells where they will do the most
harm, but waiting until the humble
fishermen have cleared the way so that
they may go In with comparative safe
~ and do their work. But they must
wait until the work Is done properly
and the channel is swept clean.
The men of the trawlers wear life
belts and inflated rubber collars when
at work, but there is small chance for
them IL their boat strikes a mine. The
explosion is so terrific that only a few
spllnters OF what was once a stanch
little vessel remain, and the men are
usually blown to atoms.
One of the reasons that the steam
trawlers are best adapted to this mine
sweeping work is because they draw so
little water. The mines are anchored
80 that they are about fifteen feet be-
low the surface, and the fishing boats
seldom draw more than six or seven
The mine is placed SO that 1t will ex.
plode against the vitals of the battle
ships cruisers or merchantmen that are
It's prey. If they were a less distance
below the surface their explosion might
prove less deadly and their victims
might be salvaged and escape.
The British government pays the
mine sweepers well. and their families
are provided for In case they die In the
performance OF their duty. The cap
tains OF the little vessels are offcers
OF the royal naval reserve, and they
serve under their own 'tadmirals" just
as they did In time OF peace.
The "admirals" are selected by the
shippers and are men who are best
qualified to lead In the pursuit OF the
fish, and now they lead In the search
for mines. and their men follow with
the same zeal and devotion to duty as
they did when a good catch meant e
ira money at the end Of the trip.

The bill, as outlined by Senator
Cummins. would empower the govern

forts and barracks that no longer have
s%trategical value into military schools.
To these schools would be appointed
boys in the same manner as they are
appointed to Annapolis and West
Point. They would receive training
that would enable them to take Off
cerships in the reserve or militia.
The schools would turn graduates
back into private life instead of into
