1t is not difficult to dress the young
lad correctly, for in his case, as in
that Of men, a few good styles are
given the stamp of approval early in
the season and d~utifully followed un-
til it's close. Men are less independent
in dress than women, and the boy also
wants to be dressed like his mates.
His desires having been fulfilled in
this regard he is unconscious of his
clothes once they are acquired.
A sensible outfit for the schoolboy
from eight to sixteen is shown in the
picture above. 1t consists of knicker-
bockers in gray or brown mixture and
a Norfolk coat. These are worn with
a soft percale blouse with soft turn
over collar and cuffs and an incon-
spicuous four-in-hand tie.
The short topcoat is made of a heavy
wooden material showing an indis-
tinct plaid. 1t is double-breasted and
finished with large flap pockets, very
substantial and firmly sewed down. A
wooden cap, strong ribbed stockings
and calfskin laced shoes carry out the
appropriate details of the outfit. For
school, wooden gloves or those of dog
skin are in keeping with the coat and
cap.

WHY HE PASSED UNN0TICED

Once upon a time there was a good
little girl.
And this good little girl asked her
mother if she could go and play in the
woods and her mother said yes.
So she went to play in the woods.
And she was walking along and
walking along, and what do you think
she met? A fairy! And she was aw-
fully surprised to meet a fairy, so she
said to the fairy:
Where do you come from?"
And the fairy said:

And the little girl said:
Il never heard about any fairies liv-
ing in these woods"
And the fairy said:
mo, because nobody ever saw me
here before. But you are a good little

And the good little girl said:

Fir Slabs Found of Value.

Fir slabs, the disposition of which
forms a problem for the sawmills of
the northwest. have been found by
a chemistry student at the University
of Washington to be exceedingly rich
in tanning content. From three cords
of fir slabs he could obtain as much of
the extract, which is used in tanning
and in the manufacture of inks and
dyes, as from a cord of western hem
lock bark. The bark costs $11.50 q
cord, whereas three cords of the fir
slab may be bought at anywhere from
three to six dollars, depending on the
location of the mills. Further. the
tannin content of chestnut wood,
which yields 200, 900, 900 pounds of ex~
tract annually in the East, is only a
little greater than that of the fir slab.
Chestnut has an average content of
6.62 per cent, while the fir slab RUM
from 5.45 to 500 per cent.

1t is true that a hat of almost any
shape may be found among the newly
arrived fall millinery and worn with
entire confidence as to it's good style.
For hats are of all sizes and shapes,
and the mode demands only that each
n be good to look at, not that it
shall be similar to others.
There are a few novelties in shapes
that have made themselves promi-
nent, like the Puritan, and adapta-
tons from 1.-THE Puritan sailor, for
instance. There are high-crowned
sailors, of any desired width of brim,
and many wide-brimmed hats. But one
may choose a small, close-fitting tur-
ban, a tricorne or a quadrangular
shape, or depend upon irregular lines
and eccentricities of brim for effect.
Three attractive and conservative
hats are pictured in the group above.
They demonstrate the diversity in
size and shape that one may choose
from. The picturesque hat at the top
is one of many wide brimmed hats 1t
has a flexible brim. very becoming to
youthful wearers, and depends for
novelty on its trimming of heavy

The Kind You Have Always Bought.

T%HS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Cabia that
has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. 81. Fletcher for
over 80 Years-the genuine Castora. Werespectfu1y call the attention
Of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears
his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature ap-
pears O both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castora for
their little ones in the past years need nc warning against counterfeis and
limitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger gener-
alton to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines.
1t is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the
nefarlousb business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, # what
should more properly be termed counterfehs, for medicinal preparations not
only for adults, but worse yet, for chldrens medicines. It therefore deVoIVes

that for themselves, but the child has to rely on |

This is the Records birthday.
Thirty-pne years of service to the
people OF Emmons county is COM
pleted and this week it commences
on the tf1irty-second year of its ex-
istence.
Thirty-nne years is long time.
In fact, it is about four years longer
than We know anything about.
Nevertheless. during that period of
time the Record has been under the
direct management and supervision
of either the writer or the writer's
father.
In the summer of 1884 the Record
was started at old Williamsport--
then the county seat. The writer's
mother was really the founder Of the
paper. her "worser nalf' being in
Chicago when she decided on ventur-
ing newspaper in the frontier
county of Emmons. Arrangements
were quickly made and the first is
sue CT seventy-five copies struck
from the press-a little Army hand
press. During the first years of
struggle the writer's mother took
entire charge of the business end of
the venture while the gentleman
whose na,ne appeared at the mast
head handled the mechanical and
editorial departments.
For many years there was little or
nc Support in the way of display ad-
yertisu@ and job-work, except such
as the Bismarck men contributed.
II was not long. though, until the
iinaI.uroGf business reached proper
tions sucn as to keep the wolf
from the door"
Four years after the Record was
established the writer went to Bis

medical help in the county. When
OLD enough to be moved he returned
to tie print-shop home and, unto
this day, most of his education has
