Braid a Trimming for Silk FrOCks
Many of the older women and
some of the young girls, too, wore
the silk dresses Of fallle and tafTeta.
These were mostly Of the new Prin.

in evidence as trimming. Wide
Hercules braid was repeated in sew
eral models in graduated rows on
the bottom of the skirts. One
model of Hickson's had braid as
wide as five inches. 1t Is rumored
that another tailor has ordered il

WAS DOUBLING UP ON LIFE
Small Girls Unfortunate Remem- brance of Mothers Remark
 Caused Embarrassment.

Col. George Harvey said at a ban quet in his honor in New York;
 We editors like criticism, espe- cially when it is of the very favorable kind that I've received this evening.
 But not all criticism is favorable, even for the most successful editors. A good many editors, in fact, often find themselves in the position of the rich old broker whose little grand niece said:
 Uncle, how long do people live?'
 The natural span of mans life, the uncle answered, is as the Good Book tells us, three score years and ten
 Oh, then you'll live to be one hun dred and forty, won't you, uncle?
 The old man looked around the room crowded with relatives and laughed heartily.
 Why, no, he said. Why, no. How do you make that out?'
 Isn't it true, then,' said the little girl-'isn't it true what mamma says about your living a double liie?' - Washington Star.

MAN LIVES IN TWO COUNTIES
Parlor in One Congressional District in West Virginia, Bedroom In
 Another

Washington.-After moving his bed room across the hall so he will sleep in Cabell county instead of Wayne county, James A. Hughes of Hunting ton. w. Va, has announced his can didacy for the Republican nomination for congressman from the new Fourth district.
 Mir. Hughes recently completed IA years of service in congress, having represented the Fifth district ever since it was created. Foreseeing a possible change in the districts, he built his home with the county line running through his hallway.
 Heretofore his parlor has been in Cabell while he slept in Wayne coun- ty in the Fifth congressional district But the legislature recently redistrict- ed the state, putting Cabell county in to the Fourth district. in which Mir Hughes preferred to run. Consequent- ly he showed his parlor into Wayne and his sleeping room into Cabell to make him eligible to run in the Fourth district.

COWARD BECOMES WAR HERO
Man Sentenced by Court-Martial Shows Bravery at the Ypres
 Battle.

London.-The story of a convicted coward who turned hero during the fighting around Ypres is told by Prof J. H. Morgan, who spent five months at British headquarters and whose in vestigations were summed up in the Bryce report on German atrocities He has just returned to London. He says; There was sergeant who had lost his nerve and had been sentenced by court-martial to five years penal servitude for cowardice. Before the sentence could be carried out the Prussian guard made their famous at tempt to break through our line, and the sergeant, in the fighting which en. sued, fought with such bravery that, but for being nominally under arrest at the time, he would have been awarded the Victoria cross.'

CAVE MAN TEACHES
Tells California University Stu
 cents of Primitive Life.
Half Starved Indian, Captured in the Wlds of California, Is Now an Instructor at State
 Institution.

Oakland, Cal.-A naked, half-starved Indian, knowing less than the children in the first grade in Oakland schools and captured only when treed by dogs in the wilds of the hills near Oroville, Is today a college professor. He cam t read, in fact, he can hardly speak, but he's taught scientists something they have been groping for through many years, and "Ishi," as he is called, is now one of the notables of the University of California, one of the most famous of professors, and prob ably will give lessons to boys and girls in Oakland when they grow up and go to college. that is, if they take up the study of anthropology.
 'Ishi' is employed daily as an in- structor at the Affiliated Colleges, the medical school of the university, and, besides teaching men how the Indians chopped wood and rubbed sticks to make fire he has shown them how men lived long before they knew the things we know now, for "Ishi' is the last of the cave men, or the men who in ages past lived in caves al most like the beasts of the field.
 'Ishi" isn't cave man any more. He's a gentleman now, and in his "store clothes" and with his top hat he's very proud of himself, all except the feet. He won't wear shoes be-

What She Expected.

Look at her." said the ironmonger indicating departing customer "She sent her wringer here to be repaired I promised it to her for this week provided l could get certain new part in time from the makers. couldn't get it. Now she wants me to pay a charwoman, who came tn. necessarily, half a crown an twopence for the clothes"
 The ironmonger paused to breathe heavily.
 But that's not all. Her husband dimes out on washdays, and as he dined out on a washday that wasn't a wash day-you understand? ?-she says l ought to pay for his dinner. No, she doesn't ask anything else. And they call 'em the weaker sex."-London Tit Bits.
The Spectator., 1915-07-20

cause he says they hurt his feet, and besides, what's the use of being a professor if one has to wear shoes
 ''1shis' lectures tell of the mode of life of his people. of whom he is the last. He tells of his explorations in the hills and of his hunting and fish ing. He never tells of those who went before him, because he believes that to call them by name would mean that they could come back and ask who called. and his religion won't let him speak of the dead.
 ''lshi' was, and perhaps still is. the most ''uncivilized" man in the world. Until he was captured by the uni versity scientists in 1911 none of his tribe had been seen since 1860. The little tribe lived near Mill creek in the forests, where they stayed in hid ing, avoiding traders and keeping away from the railroad track where engines rumbled by them. They thought the locomotives some strange sort of demon; in fact, "lshi' is just a little nervous about them yet!

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims of Nervous ness Because They Don't Know
 How to Relax.

One of the important things to know in life, especially if you are a woman, is how to let yourself alone, writes Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers Magazine. The ability to relax, the art of being judiciously lazy, the tact to let herself alone has saved many a woman from a nervous breakdown. We all know the housewife who nags herself into such state of conscien- t1ousness that she cannot rest If she lies down she is continually worrying herself with thoughts of the work that she is neglecting.
 Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies at the doors of the moth CTS. The mistake is in their training of their children, especially their daughters. They are taught from ear Hest infancy to be kind to others. to bear with them, to forgive them. to help them; but from birth to death no one ever tells them to be kind, also, to themselves.
 The woman who nags herself can make herself more miserable than any one else possibly could. She can make her life more of nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make it. If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there is no doubt that their own lives would be heightened; and not only that, but the lives of those with whom they come in close contact would be made far more pleas ant

On the day after the visit of the German Zeppelins there occurred in Southwark-so wireless message from Berlin asserts-the following con- verSation:
