1T is wonderful what miracles of i'm
i provement in looks can be brought
about by means of the coiffure and it's
decorations. Only beautiful and au-
dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity of
straight lines, curls which suggest
femininity, are almost invariably be-
coming. And aside from becomingness,
a well-groomed appearance (more evil
dent in the coiffure than anywhere)
has compelling charm in itself.
When the Lest and most tasteful of
hair ornaments are worn, to set off the
chic coiffure, a chance is given for the
exercise of individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten-
tious and elegant, that any clever
woman can fashion for herself. Near
ly all of the new ones are made of
strands of small rhinestones, used in
single or double bands, about the head,
in the mann er of Greek bands But
with them flowers, feathers, or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the pest designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to be able to go about
copying them. One consists of a rhine
stone band sewed to a fine silk-covered
wire which terminates in loop at
each end. A hairpin thrust through

keep the men busy, but it was more
difficult for him to chalk up the rec
ords of what ore they hauled. The
three RS were embarrassing to Dillon,
for he had little schooling in Ireland.
His fingers were gnarled and twisted by
labor and a pencil or a piece of chalk
was harder to manipulate than pick,
shovel or barrow.
It is hard for a grown man to set
about to educate himself, but Dillon
did so. Night after night he sat at a
table in his home and worked with
book and pencil to master simple prob
lens that small children had solved
in the first few years Of their school
terms 1t was harder, much harder,
work than the work he did in the mill,
but he made progress and what he
learned he never forgot.
Stood by His Benefactors.
He went along happy and contented
until the Homestead strike. Then he
had to decide whether he would join
hands with the men or stick by his
employers. He had been made a sort
of superintendent in one of the mills
by this time. 1t did not take long for
him to reach a decision. He went to
the clergyman at whose church he
worshiped.
Everything I have in the world I
owe to Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps,' he said.
''Mr. Phipps is Mr.. Carnegie's partner.
If should not stand by him in this
emergency l would be ashamed to
look him in the face again. 1t is the
first opportunity I have had to pay
him back for all the kindness he has
done for me. Is it not SOP"
The clergyman told him it was so.
He told him more. 1t was Dillon's
duty to do all in his power for his
benefactor The mere giving of his
individual service was not enough.
Dillon was more than popular with
his men. He went among them and
told them plainly and simply b is own

story and how he had sought counsel
and direction from his pastor 1t was
the sort of statement that had a more
direct appeal than polished oratory
Some men who were bent on strik-
ing hesitated, and then decided not to
go out. On the day the great strike
started, more men remained on duty
in the mill over which Dillon had
charge than in any other part of the
mammoth Homestead plant.
The strike was one of the fiercest in
the history of America. The compara-
lively few men who remained at work
were shot at, stoned and beaten.
There was murder and riot day after
day. At various times some of the
men who had been influenced by Dill
lon wavered. No one did more than
the clergyman to hold them in line
AS he counseled Dillon, he counseled
them. To surrender to force was un-
manly, he declared.
Of all the Homestead establishment,
the only mill that kept going through
out the strike was that small one over
which Dillon had charge. The force
was inadequate, but it kept the fires
going and it kept turning out material
Dillon worked night and day, resting
only when he was exhausted. He came
of a fighting stock and several times
when heoand his men were attacked
he had to battle for his life. He gave
as good as he received. Once he mar
rowly escaped death and was rescued
from a mob unconscious.
After martial law was invoked the
dafger was lessened, but the strug
gles was long drawn out and the vic
tory of the Carnegie company was
dearly won, for it left feuds and bit
terness that lasted for years.
Rewarded by the Company.
In all that strike no man did more
for the Carnegie company than Patrick
Dillon. The fact that he kept his mill
going had a powerful effect. Had the
strikers succeeded in closing down
that solitary mill, some of the leaders
think to this day, they would have
triumphed.
When the strike ended, Dillon was a
wreck. His body was covered with
scars from the wounds he had received
in the battles with the strikers and his
strength was sapped by the long strain
to which he had been subjected May
be the Carnegie people thought his
life would be none too safe until some
of the passion the strike had engen-

MO wonder the devotees of motoring
Az are Drawing the coldest weather
They may envelop themselves from
crown to toe in cold-proof coats having
hoods attached made of the same ma
terial as the coat The fur fabrics
that have had so great a vogue this
season have been developed in pat
terms especially suited to midwinter
motor coats These pushes are used
also for lining coats of other fabrics,
and are as warm as skins.
Fetching and unusual is the coat of
leopard plush pictured here. The
youthful motorist looks as cozy as a

cut In one, and the skirt part allows
plenty of room in walking.
A broadtail plush is used to make
deep plain cuffs, and as an inlay on
small neckpiece that fastens about the
throat. The hood is a close-fitting cap
with a wide bonnetlike border turned
back at the front and trimmed with
fiat bow of >broadtail The coat is
double breasted, fastened with large

Smart coats for warmer climes are

dered had subsided. At any rate, he
was called into the office and given
$4,000 with orders to go to Europe and
travel or rest until all that money
was spent. He never had SO much
money at one time before in his life
and his wife took charge of it for him.
They went to Ireland and to England
and then to the Continent. Mrs. Dill
Ion, in getting off the train, in Ger
many one night left the valise in which
she carried the money in the car. A
few minutes after the train departed
the billions discovered their loss. They
tried to tell the German officials in
the station all about it, but if there
is any one thing on earth that a Ger
man official cannot understand it's
English tainted with an Irish brogue.
Luckily for husband and wife, they
had enough cash to pay their way to
Berlin. In that city Dillon told his
troubles to German representatives of
the Carnegie company and in few
days the valise and it's contents were
returned to the travellers.
BE gorry," said Dillon, "II1 travel
with bills no more. I want some of
those papers that people can get
money for when they need it"
The Carnegie representative got
travellers checks for him and the Dill
Ions resumed their journey.
When he returned to Homestead an
easier position was made for Dillon
than he had before and he held this
for some years. He had learned lot
about steel making, and developed in
to a very valuable man. His health
was none too good, however, and the
Carnegie people thought that he
should. retire.

ENLARGING ITS QUARTERS.

The Marathon Motor Gar company
chose wisely and well few years ago
when it selected its present site for
an automobile garage-the former
Presbyterian church and grounds,
with a frontage of sixty feet and a
depth of l20 feet. The company's
old quarters becoming too abbreviated
to accommodate its wonderful grow
ing business, has deemed it expedient
to remodel its present establishment,
and in so doing has very sensibly de-
cided to add to its enlargement from
its present cramped condition to one
OF more suitable dimensions, which
is to be 60Xl20 feet, three stories
high, the first floor to be show room
the second store room and the third
auto supplies, with a machine shop
at the rear end of the first floor.
Active work on which has already
been commenced, with Frank SeefeIdt t
in charge, and is to be pushed to
rapid completion. This company is
deserving of it's success in the past
and in the new undertaking, and in
assisting to keep Wausau in the fore
in this as we'll as other enterprises of
late being added to it's steadily in
creaSing enterprise and growth.

southern counties. The county is
especially we'll adapted to grains and
fruit. Marathon promises to be a
great section"

sponded "In behalf of the Mara
thon county delegation and the coun-
ties of north central Wisconsin, we
desire to express our appreciation for
this beautiful cup. This demon
strates that Wisconsin is not small
garden, but great one, and that we
have the best state in the union. We
wish to express our appreciation to
the Milwaukee Journal for its recog-
milton of the agricultural resources of
the state of Wisconsin. By the pre-
sentation of this cup, a spirit of
friendly rivalry is created among the
county people"
The Marathon county delegation
having the exhibit in charge were
congratulated on every hand.

THE CORN CROP

Owing to the generally backward
state of this years corn crop, in many
of the northern but important grow
ing sections of the belt there is danger
of injury to the crop by killing frost,
the occurrence of which may be ex-
pected at any time. 1t is therefore
important that every effort possibl e
be made to secure good seed for next
years crop. Where any of last year S
corn is left, it should be gone over and
the best ears saved for seed. More
over, as corn natures unevenly, it is
possible to secure seed from the early
ears before the rest of the crop is
M atured.

HOORA FOR MARATHON,
The County Takes the First Prize at
the Wisconsin State Fair.

1t has often been said here by men
of experience that Marathon county
can secure the first prize at the state
fair whenever there is determined
effort to get it," There seems to be
considerable truth in this, as the
county has succeeded many times in
carrying off the first prize for the
best exhibit, and it has done it this
year. The years when exhibits we're
made and first prize not secured was
because of the necessary preparation.
All goes to show that Marathon
county is one of the best, if not the
best, agricultural county in Wiscon-
sin.
This year the county not only won
the first prize for the exhibit, but
it also was the winner of the Milwau-
kee Journul silver loving cup, which
is very fine one, nearly two feet
high and of beautiful design.
