HIS PRESENTS ALL PAID FOR
But MIR. Jones Was Not Quite the
Model Citizen the Statement
Seemed to Make Out.

Referring to the promptness of somS
people in settling their accounts, Sena-
tor William Alden Smith of Michigan
recalled little incident about party
named Jones.
A few days before Christmas Mr.
Jones was talking with his neighbor,
Brown, when the subject of inter-
changing presents entered into the
conversation.
do you mean to say" declared
Brown, in response to statement
made by Jones, that all of your
Christmas presents are paid for?"
why, yes," was the easy rejoinder
of Jones. Il settled for the last OF
them yesterday"
"You are nothing short of won
der!" enviously returned Brown. i
haven't even begun to buy mine yet"
Neither have l." answered Jones,
with look of enlightenment Il was
referring to last Christmas. Pitts.

Boots That Were Trousers

AS leather is in such demand for
military purposes, it is fortunate that
present-day boots are made on a more
economical plan than those in vogue
at the time of the Peninsular war and
for many years after. Hessians, which
were then the fashion, absorbed what
would now be considered an unneces-
sary amount of leather. These boots,
according to G. A. Sala, were worn
over tight-f1tting pantaloons, the up
peaking front almost touching the
knee, and bearing a silk tassel, the
back part sloped to the calf, being full
below, and with high heel. Such
was the correct form of footgear till

lust how important the couture is
u in the scheme of things pertaining
to dress can only be realized by chang
ing it. Or, if one can get within reach
of real artist in hairdressing, by hav-
ing the hair dressed in the most be-
coming manner possible. This does
not mean deliberately or always with
waves, curls and puffs. But it general
ly means waves; there are few people
who look their best with couture
of straight hair.
The really good hairdresser con-
siders the face of his patron, the con-
tour of her head, the color and texture
of her hair. and the occasion for which
the couture is required, and then pro-
ceeds. The result is a revelation in
graceful line and style. And if hair
ornaments are brought into requisition
they may be relied upon to furnish i'm
mensely becoming finishing touches.
Two lovely coiffures with hair orna-
ments are shown here. In the picture
at the left the hair is shown waved,
parted at the side and coiled in
short, soft French twist. Very short,
frill curls are pinned in along one
side of the twist and an invisible net
holds all in position neatly.
A band of narrow ribbon, woven in
blocks of color. is frightened with lit
tie sparkling rhinestones set in short
rows along each edge. This couture
and ornament are appropriate for aft
ernoon as we'll as evening wear.
A similar couture, except that the
coil at the back is arranged in puffs
on the crown, is shown in the second

is made of band and wings of rhine

feathers. This is brilliant but not

For Steadfast Peace,

God puts within our reach the pow
er of helpfulness, the ministry of pity;
he is ever ready to increase his grace
in our hearts, that as we live and act
among all the sorrows of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. IF We
know these things, happy are We if We
do them" There is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see if we can lessen
any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth in
faith and love.-Francis Paget

INFLUENCE OF DRESS
FELT BY BOTH SEXES, ACCORD.
ING TO OBSERVERS.

New Hat Is Better for Her Than
Any Medicine-Beauty as
Business Asset.

whenever feel run down l always
buy a new hat" said woman not long
ago with a laugh. ut is better
remedy than doctors and drugs, and Is
usually less expensive"
In the case of women who are con-
tinually Gin the blues" this habit
might have drastic results, but there
is no doubt that the clothes we wear
have a very strong influence over our
spirits.
Even a woman who does not care
much for dress is conscious of little
inward glow of satisfaction in the
knowledge that she is well and suit
ably attired. She holds herself bet
ter and with more confidence under
the stimulation of a pretty gown or
hat. Clothes make the man." so we
are told. It is hardly realized how
much they are responsible for the
making or marring of woman.
Shabby clothes that have seen much
wear and tear and much attention
from the needle and the brush are
very comfortable to wear once in a
while. When it becomes necessary to
don them day after day, with no hope
of their renewal, they slowly and in
sidiously begin to tell on the spirits
of their wearer. They give feeling
of shabbiness, and the confidence and
right to place in the world is partly
lost. This is especially detrimental
to the business woman, for she is
taken very much at her own value in
the world of commerce.
1t is not necessarily very expen-
sive business to possess nice clothes.
A good tailored costume, though dear
er at the start, is an economy, for it
wears and keeps it's cut to the end.
BY merely renewing collar and cuffs
occasionally and varying the blouse
with which it is worn, the costume al
ways remains fresh, and gives it's
wearer the air of being we'll dressed.
It is not always the most expensive
and elaborate toilet that makes for
this much-desired effect.
It is a vexed question whether
beauty or clothes improve a woman
most. Beauty is very valuable asset
in life to a woman, but seen in an I'M
suitable setting it loses much of it's
charm, and will often be eclipsed by
the less attractive looks of a woman
who chooses her clothes we'll and
knows how to wear them. It is gen.
orally understood from a certain type
Of novel and play that beauty shines
anywhere, under any conditions. Ger
tainly, nothing can actually take away
the contour of the face, the faultless-
ness Of the complexion or the beauty
Of the figure, but all these may be
overlooked in some cases. The figure
may be hidden behind an ugly dress,
the complexion may be ruined by the
color scheme, and the contour Of the
face lost under an unsuitable hat.

OPERATOR RI SAVES
BAD DISASTER

Perham, Mimi, March 3O.- The
crack Northern Pacific night flyer No.
20 was saved from a serious disaster
by the discovery of Night Clerk James
Hart of a peculiar humping noise
about the time of the passing of the
limited. 1t sounded as if some one
was pounding with a board on the
outside Of the station. By the time
he hadidentified it with the train, the
flyer speeding about so miles an hour
was too close to the station to be
stopped.
Hart a back and called the dis
patcher, who ordered the New York
Mills operator to hold up the train
to determine what was the matter.
After an examination at the mills it
was learned that a chain holding up
one of the sides on the snow pillow had
broken and the iron bar was trailing
on the track.
1t had dug into the planks at the
Perham crossing but fortunately had
not struck anything with sufficient
force to break anything loose. Re-
pairs were quickly made and the train
proceeded.

SUMMARY OF
The WAR news

Germany's submarine warriors
have added two names to the long list
of vessels which they have destroyed
in the waters about the British isles.
The British steamer Falaba, one of
the larger merchantmen to be sent to
the bottom, vas t%orpedoed off the
coast of South Wales, probably with
a heavy loss of life. The British
steamer Aguila was sunk in the Eng
fish channel, but her Of twenty
three was saved.
Gen Won Kluck, who led the early
2dyarcc of the German forces to the
gates of Paris, has been injured slight
y by shrapnel.
The new German offensive in Po-
land has led to sharp fighting in which
the Russians are said in Berlin to have
suffered heavy losses. The war Office
announces that Taureggen, in Rus
STA, across the East Prussian border,
vas stormed successfully.
In France and Belgium there were
only minor engagements yesterday.
From Petrograd it is reported that
the Russian Baltic fleet has been re-
inforced. London ~interprets this to
mean that four and possibly eight new
dreadnoughts have been put. in COM
mission.
German troops in the north of Po-
land have returned to the attack, cen
tering their movement in the region
of the Skwa river near the Prussian
border. An official announcement
from Petroprad says that the Germans
made an assault with a division of
infantry and that the Russians, ad-
vancing in turn compelled their OPP
p%onents at n point to abandon their
first line trenches. The claim is made
also that farther to the south, on the
Pilica river German forces were put
to flight.
The P%etrograd version Of the fight
ing in the Carpathians represents
that victories have been won at sever
al points, giving the Russians access
to Northern Hungary. Vienna insists
that the Austrians have gained success

RESTORED
after BEING DEAD

Boston, March 3O.-After Willard
0. Wallace Of Pittsburgh, alleged con-
fessed swindler, who took poison in
the city prison today, had been pro-
nounced dead, heart action was restor-
ed by massage, and he lived in an I'M
conscious condition three hours more
before he was declared dead.
Hospital physicians worked over the
man an hour and declared him dead.
Nine minutes later DR.. William Brick
ley, assisted by the medica examiner,
began the heart massage. An incision
of five inches was made through
which the hand was thrust to the
heart. Within Is minutes the color
returned to Wallace's face and heart
action was apparent. Eight members
of the hospital staff worked in relays,
maintaining life for three hours.

the reason why there is a perpetual
outbreak of abnormaliN2s.
Watch your thoughts and you will
have little trouble with your body, that
is, provided you begin early enough in
life.
The only thing that can save a man
in the best possible way is true, loyal
love for one oman Monogamy is
the only tried and perfect solution. Of
course, it has its inperfections, but on
the whole, and in the long run, it is
the only satisfactory answer to the
ptabl.In the human race has yet dis
covered.
And that is because the problem
can only be brought into harmony,
balanced, and duly co-ordinated with
the rest cf life by being idealized, by
being linked to the identifying, spir-
;tualizing functions Of loyalty, de-
v%otion, and self-sacrifce that mar
irage, and marriage alone, carries
with it.
Every force in las is a danger unless
it is subjected to discipline. Fire in
the hearth is a comfort; fire uncon-
troi'2d is a confagration. Steam con-
fined in a locomotive is useful when
i bursts its confines it is destructive.
So your desires; if you begin early
enough, and if you learn how to gov
crn them and how to give them vent
only in such ways as shall not dam
age your life, they will pass into an
inauguration Of both your body and
your mind.
Think these things out, boy. Get
at the facts. Don't botch your life by
believing a lot of hcarsay and vicious
1H'mors Find out the truth. DULY

IS new Law
constitutional

Bismarck, N. D., March 31.-Now it
is claimed that the initiative and refer
endum amendment to the constitution
will not be upheld by the courts when
a test case is made in the comm trial
of the case against the drainage board
of Richland county, to be held at
Wahpeton April 10.
1t is said interested parties have
given the matter a great deal of atten
ton since the legislature adjourned
and the statement is made that the
Bessessen act was not spread upon the
minutes of either house of the thir-
teenth legislative assembly and that
the diversion bill, passed two years ago
is different as to wording and that the
twelfth and thirteenth assemblies did
not pass the same Identical act.
It is further claimed that two diff
ferent subjects are treated, he initial
ing Of laws by the people and the re
fering of acts passed by the legisla-
ture. Prominent attorneys here state
that if the first two statements as to
the recording and the wording are
true, that probably a fatal error has
crept in, but also agree in stating that
the initiative and referendum would
be constructed as constituting one gen.
eral subject and would not be fatal to
the amendment.
