BOTH CONVENTIONS WILL
 PROBABLY BE HELD HERE

From information received it looks quite likely that both the Democratic and Republican territorial conven- tions will be held at Seward this time. In addition to the letter from w. A. Gilmore there has come information from another source which almost makes it certain that the Republican convention has been fixed for this city four months from now. There is also good grounds for the statement that the Democrats will choose Sew ard for their meeting.

SAVED MASTER FROM DEATH
Small Dog Is Petted as Hero In the
Paris Hospitals, as Reward
for Faithfulness.

In one of the Paris hospitals lives
named Fend rAir (cleave the air),
who is real hero of the war. His
master a sergeant of zouaves, is pa
tient in the hospital, and he owes his
frail hold on life to the devotion and
intelligence Of Fend Fair. When the
regiment left Algeria for France the
dog was left behind, but the faithful
little creature leaped into the water
and swan along behind the ship until
the captain, taking pity on him, had
him taken on board. From that time
he has never left his master.
During the fighting at Rochincourt,
near Arras, an exploding bomb buried
the sergeant and seven other men
with earth. They were badly injured,
and so deeply covered that no man
had the strength to fight his way out.
But, luckily, Fend rAir escaped the
bomb. He at once began to scratch,
and he scratched and scratched until
he had reached his master and
dragged him out to safety. The seven
other men died.
The wounded sergeant and his dog
were sent from one relief station to
another until they found permanent
care in this Paris hospital. Good nurs-
ing has saved the man, but too much
attention almost killed the dog; for
the nurses and orderlies fed him so
lavishly that promiscuods feeding had
to be forbidden.
Now Fend rAir lives in the hospital
kitchen. where he has assumed the
duty of guard, and growls savagely
at anyone who enters the kitchen
unless they belong there. Every day
a nurse takes him to the wards to
visit his master, and Fend rAir puts
his nose on the sergeant's shoulder
and stands contented as long as he Is
permitted to remain. The great af-
lection that exists between the SER
geant and his dog is very charming.

1t is true that hat of almost any
shape may be found among the newly
arrived fall millinery and worn with
entire confidence as to its good style.
For hats are of all sizes and shapes,
and the mode demands only that each
one be good to look at, not that it
shall be similar to others.
There are few novelties in shapes
that have made themselves promi-
nent, like the Puritan, and adapta-
lions 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 flexible brim, very becoming to
youthful wearers, and depends lor

It is not difficult to dress the young
lad correctly, for in his case, as in
that of men, few good styles are
given the stamp of approval early in
the season and dutifully followed un-
til its 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. It 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 iHcon-
spicuous four-in-hahd tie.
The short topcoat is made of a heavy
wooden material showing an indis-
tinct plaid. It is double-breasted and
finished with large Hap 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.

MOST PERFECT OF PLANTS
Working of the Human Body Makes
Any Invention Of Man Seem Like
Plaything.

The most complicated manufacture
ing plant that ever existed is the hui
man body as controlled under the scr
entific management Of the brain and
nervous system. No factory ever boast
ed more efficient producer plant for
converting fuel into energy. No plant
ever had so well-designed pumping
system, nor one so perfect for the
disposal of waste and sewage. Talk
of up-to-date heating and ventilating.
or interdepartmen telephone! The
best that our modern science can put
into our shops is crude indeed as COM
pared with that furnished by the
Great Designer. Suppose that you
went to a pump manufacturer with the
following specification:
Wanted, a pump with capacity OF
one-quarter gallon minute, to handle
warm salty fluid, to work for seventy
years night and day without shut
down, at the rate of seventy strokes
per minute. Must be guaranteed to
operate for the full period of time
without repairs or adjustments, to re-
quire no attention; must have auto
matte control and contain its own mo-
tive power, and must have duty per
million foot-pounds superior to the
best triple-expansion high-duty unit
ever made.
Do you think the manufacturer
would bid for the job? If he were q
timid man he would probably agree
with you and tell you to come around
next week, meanwhile edging you
toward the door before your insanity
took a violent form. Or If he were
not afraid of lunatics he would say:
You poor bug. such pump as you
speak of never existed nor ever will
except in the brain of perpetual-mo-
ton freak such as see before mel"
Which shows how much he knows
about it, for both you and he carry
just such a pump around with you,
and each of you thinks too much OF
your possession to sell it for any
money.-John H. Van Deventer, in the
Engineering Magazine.

Gracious Manners.

The charm of gracious manners and
consideration for other human beings
is quality that develops rapidly If
given half chance. The woman who
is always kind creates an atmosphere
of loneliness tina, is like halo about
her head. II you are naturally shy
and reticent, 1t is all the more neces-
sary that you should endeavor to shine
a bit. 1t is not lack of pleasant
