Black Silks Modish,

Such was the craze for taffeta last summer that rumor said it had had it's day. For once rumor was wrong, however. and taffeta will be worn all winter upon all occasions.
 Black taffeta vies with black velvet and black moire for dressy wear and is relieved by vivid touches of color in sash, lining or embroidery.
 There Is fancy for black in all ma terials, especially for the street.

To Make a Warm Can

Take the sleeves of a discarded sweater, and use one sleeve for the crown and one for the band. Rip the sleeve, lay the double shape by sew ing down the side seam to fit the head, which avoids a seam over the head. If the corners are rounded of you can fit the head without seam on top. Put on the band and turn up, finishing the upper edge of the band with shell crochet, or trim with cro- chet rosettes, ribbon, or any way de- sired. The back of sweater coats or any other parts can be used.

This shape fits the head and has much good style.
 A little pill-box turban Is made of brown satin and trimmed with narrow faille ribbon. falling in two meager ends at the back. Bright satin dai- sies, in rich colors, and smaller flowers, are set in prim row flat against the coronet.

BARRIERS HAND
TRAVELSSOME

Pity the poor work driven barber whose
hand travels more than twenty-three miles
year in keeping his section of hirsutic
New York free from superhuous facial locks
You will not envy the barber his seemingly
leisurely vocation, pause and consider the
physical exertion he gives for the privilege
of living.
A New Yorker who dotes on mathematical
calculations has reasoned out that the barber
is about the hardest driven man in the city.
He sets forth his observations for the edif-
cation of barber shop patrons as follows.
For clean shave-chin, cheeks and upper
ip-the number of strokes was $50, and the
time occupied, including the Preliminary
lathering and the final powdering, was
exactly ten minutes.
Taking the average razor stroke as being,
say, one inch in length, the distance travel
ed by the blade in removing superhuous
hair from the face is six yards one foot,
eight inches.
Consider the BARRIERS shop hours from s
a. m. to p. IN. Deduct one and half
hours. Assume half of this time to be taken
up with hair cutting, shampcoing, waiting
for customers, etc, and it leaves four and
threequarter hours for shaving.
AS not every customer is clean shaved we
must also make an allowance on the number
of strokes and the time occupied. Suppose
we take the average number of strokes at
$50, and the average time for each shave s
minutes. This would give time for the
scraping of SO customers and the distance
travelled by the razor would be 5000 inches,
or $50 yards.
The number of customers shaved each
week will be about l59. Allow a fort
night for the summer holiday, and you
have total of $500 customers year, with
a razor stroke distance of ], 47O, 900 inches,
which is equal to twenty-three miles, 35a
yards and one foot!
Further investigation revealed the fac
that when the statstician shaved himself
about 995 strokes were required TO produce
result equal to that obtained by the barber
with his 1856.

THE KNOCKER VS.. THE
BOOSTER

When the Creator made all good things,
there was still more work to do so he made
fhe beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects,
and when he had finished, he had some
scraps that were too bad to put into fine
Rattlesnake, Hyena, Scorpion and Skunk,
so he put these together, covered it with
envy, suspicion and jealousy, marked it
with yellow streak and called it a
KNOCKER.
This product was so fearful to contem-
plate that He had to make some thing to
counterfeit it, SO He took sunbeam, and
put IN it the heart of child, and the brain
of a man, and then wrapped these in civic
pride, covered 1t whit brotherly love, gave
it mask of velvet, made it lover of fields
and flowers and manly sports, believer of
equality and justice and called it a
BOOSTER.

The Base Ball Game

"The game opened with Moliasses at the
stick and small pox catching. Cigar was
in the box with plenty of smoke. Horn play
ed first base and Fiddle on second base.
Backed by Corn in the field, this made
it hot for the umpire, Apple, who was rot
ten. Axcame to bat and chopped it. CT
gar let Brick walk and Sawdust filled the
bases. Song made hit and twenty scored.
Cigar went out and Balloon started to pitch,
but went straight up, Then Cherry tried
but went wild. Old Ice kept cool in the
game until he was hit by pitched ball,
then you ought to have heard Ice Cream.
Cabbage had good head and kept quiet.
Grass covered lots of ground and the crowd
cheered when Spider caught fly. Bread
loafed on third base and pumped Organ
who played first class game, put out
Lightning. In the fifth inning Wind began
to blow about what he could do Hammer
began to knock and Trees began to leave.
The way they roasted Peanuts was fright.
Knife was out for cutting first base. Light
ming finished pitching and struck out six
men. In the ninth Apple told Fiddle to
take first base and then Song made hit.
Trombone made slide and Meat was put
out on the plate. There was a lot of bet
ting on the game. But Soap cleaned up.
The score was 10. Door said if he had
pitched he would have shut them out.

Man wants so very little here below and
can't get that namely, parole.
If you are not faithful in little things,
you have no one but yourself to blame, if
40 one trusts you in big undertakings.
If you are true to your own self you will
find plenty of good men and women on the
outside who will gladly extend helping
hand
A big crew of fans came down from Still
water last Saturday with the All Stars ex-
pecting another victory, but they got sorely
disappointed, our boys made up their mind
to win, and they did. Seven runs in the
first inning settled the visitors hash.
The Deputy Warden of the Federal Prison
at Leavenworth was the guest of Warden
Reed last Saturday. And an interested
visitor in the ball park last Saturday after
noon.
Guard Nelson of the store room escorted
party of friends around last Sunday morn
ing during drill. And they listened to the
Band for while.
Asst Deputy Whelan escorted party of
ladies thru our Silent City last Friday. He
showed them thru every department.
We asked guard o. B. how many fair
visitors he escorted thru the institution last

Guard Westby of the, Printorium depart

The big ware houses look very empty at

Captain Alexander was absent on business
last Thursday and Guard Picculel done the

latter absence.
Guard Gallagher escorted several friends
