One of the handsome long coats of
plush which dealers prefer to call by
its new name-"fur.fabric" shown
in the picture above. 1t merits the
consideration of the woman who wants
a coat to serve many occasions, and is
entitled to be called "sealette," by
which name the manufacturers have
christened the fabric used in it, This is
rich, glossy plush of so dark a
brown that 1t might be classed among
the various blacks.
The coat is long, nearly covering the
dress. and hangs almost straight at
the front. 1t is semifitted at the
back, but loosely adjusted to the fig
ure. There are wide revers at the
front which may be rolled forward
when the turnover collar is brought
up close about the neck. Large COW
cred buttons. like the material of
the coat, are used for fastening at the
front-and one is set at each side of
the back at the waist line.
The wide collar and deep cuffs of
white FUR are made separate and
fastened to the coat when IL is to
do duty for evening or dressy after
noon wear. They are not intended
for the workaday world of every day.
but to convert very practical coat
into a rich-looking garment suited to
special occasions. There Is nothing

Something new in neckwenr has
lately been added to the array OF crisp
and dainty pieces that came in with
the fall season. The new arrivals are
made OF the same materials but have
taken their cue from the high collars
of wraps and street gowns, and their
foundation is a band fitting close
about the neck. and as wide as II can
be worn.
To this band of thin material wings,
tabs, and fiaring pieces are added in
4 variety of shapes and finish that
seems unlimited Fine embroidery on
sheer fabrics makes them elegant. but
their crisp daintiness is fragile
quality, and hence II is necessary To
replace them often, for II is just these
qualities that they are expected TO
lend to the costume. Two good ex.
amples OF these INSolties are pictured
here and they serve - show the es-
sential features OF all OF hem.

Dresses for Girls.


High waist lines are the rule for the
little girls thin dresses. Like grown.
up dresses, the skirts of these dresses
are very flaring and frilly.
The skirts of tulle and chiffon
dresses or those of lingerie, batiste or
very thin silk are often finished at
the hem with three little rufiies. These
are only about three or four inches
in width and are not gathered very
full. A picot edging is used often
instead of lace to finish them, or a
very narrow satin ribbon. perhaps
in double lengthwise stripe.
Little pulled sleeves that come only
halfway to the elbow are considered
very correct, and they go we'll with
the general empire contour OF the
gown.
In linen dresses the empire waist
line has a belt of the same that has
slot inset in the middle of 1t of an
other color.

THE HUNTERS FRIEND.

IN a hut on the side of a mountain
lived an old hunter all alone. He had
only one room, which was very scant.
lily furnished, and he cooked his meals
In a fireplace.
You need not pity this old man, for
he would rather eat his food cooked in
this way than in any other He had a
bunk built in the room about half way
up the wall, where he had to climb a
ladder to reach 1t, and when he went
to bed he covered himself with big
bearskin. Beside the bunk a gun hung
on the wall, where he could quickly
reach 1t If 1t were needed. Across the
door at night he fastened big bar,
for he did not intend that anyone
should enter while he was asleep.
The old hunter had set a trap by his
door. and one morning he found a
baby bear caught in it by the left hind
paw. He very carefully opened the
trap and took the little fellow out.
Then he took Johnnie Bear, as ne
named him. into the cabin, and very

Ticks take as much as 200 pounds
OF blood n year from a 1-000pound

cows nearly so per cent; reduce the
home price OF meat animals from one
half to one cent a pound; prevent

Thus Carl Vrooman, assistant secre-

States, remarked in telling OF the new
tick campaign the government has
started.

Vrooman said, "and enable it's cattle

1t is well to remember that II for any

consideration, therefore, in selecting a

duties required. II should be realized
that good roads have much to do with
the prosperity of community and
that united action in the right direc.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP

II was formerly quite generally

carefully washed the poor cut foot
and bound 1t up with some healing
salve.
Johnnie Bear seemed to know that
the hunter was helping him, and he
did not bite or try to get away He
made funny little noise like baby
when 1t is hurt Then the hunter
warmed some milk and put 1t in bot
tie. which he gave to the bear. John
ME Bear took the bottle in both paws
and held 1t up 10 his mouth and drank
the milk very greedily. Then the
hunter fixed bed for him and put a
log on the fire to keep the place warm
while he went for a hunting trip.
Johnnie Bear slept all day, and
when the hunter returned at night he
tried to run to meet him, but his pooy
foot hurt him so he had to lie down
again. Several weeks passed before
Johnnie Bears foot became quite well,
and he always limped BECAUSE tina trap
had cut so deep.
The little fellow became quite fond
of the hunter and would run tO meet
him at night, and when the hunter
brought in his game, Johnnis Bear
would poke 1t with his nose ana paws
as though to tell the hunter that he
had done well.
One day he did not run to meet the
hunter, and when night came he did
not come to his supper. The old
hunter began to look around the cabin,
and he found the footprints of two
bears. One was Johnnie Bears, which
he could tell by the light mark which
the lame foot made, and the other
was of big bear which had enticed
Johnnie back into the woods. The
hunter felt very lonely and looked
for Johnnie every day for long time,
but after a year had gone by gave
up hopes of ever seeing Johnnie again.
A long time after this the hunter
was going through part of the wood
that was filled with bushes and vines,
and in some way his feet became
entangled and he fell. breaking his
arm. His gun fell some distance from
him, and as he went to pick II up he
saw big mother bear with two cubs
coming toward him. She was growl-
ing and showing her teeth, and the
hunter felt that he had little chance
for escape from a fight. He wondered
how the fight might come out.
He braced himself against a tree
and waited for the bear to come up.
He held his gun in his left hand, in
tending to use 1t to beat her off as
long as possible. Just then another
bear came in sight, and the poor hunt
er gave up all hope. But all at once
the first bear stopped and looked at
the other bear, then suddenly walked
toward him. Both stood and looked at
the hunter, who did not move. Sud
denly the second bear growled strange
ly, and the first bear walked away
with the two cubs. Then the second
bear came nearer. and as he walked
the hunter saw that he limped. 1t
was Johnnie Bear and in some un-
known language he had sent the other
bear away and saved the hunters life
He did not come any nearer the hunt
err, but only looked at him as though
to say: you saveI my life once,
now 1 have paid my debt &c you.
Then he limped away in the direction
the other bears had gone. Perhaps
the mother bear was Johnnie's wife,
and the cubs were their children.
Who can tell?

blaze was noticed before It had gain

space between the floor Of the second
story and the ceiling OF the banking
room. A little chemical extinguisher
shot through hole CHOPPED in the
floor quenched the flames. Little
damage was done other than the ne

though sufficient headway would have
been gained had the blaze occurred
at night to have endangered the en-

closing an old flue when the building
was being remodeled for the bank Is
given as the cause OF the FIRE.
