SICK GIRAFFE.

Nov the Giraffe had been grumbling
all day long" commenced Daddy, land
the other Animals in the Zoo were all
getting very, very tired of hearing him
complain.
"'And not one of you has asked me
what is the trouble whined the Gil
raffe. I think you're all very heart
less. If you were sick, yes, any one
of you, I'd be so sorry I'd weep. And
when I'm sick it makes no difference
to any Of you And the Giraffe looked
very mournful.
"'Why, Mr.. and Mrs. Lion even took
nap this afternoon he continued.
I'd have thought they would have been
too worried for that. But no, they
slept and slept and didn't wake up I'M
til they thought it was Supper time.
And the Tiger over there-he was so
very rude-he roared and walked up
and down his Cage because he was an
CRY. AS if anger was anything COM
pared to feeling sick. And he was an
CRY about little Boy who had called
him a Leopard by mistake! Such a
silly thing to be angry about
"'Well, said the Tiger who had been
listening, as had all the Animals, even
though the Giraffe hadn't been talking
straight to any of them-but had just
been talking aloud about them all, !
think that's very mean of you, Gil
raffe. OF course, no one could make
mistake about you. l can't imagine
anyone calling you an Elephant or a
Rhinoceros or Kangaroo or Mon
key. Because Giraffe looks just like
Giraffe and nothing else. So, Of
course, you would never have your
feeling hurt that way
"'Well, very sensible it is of me to
look like myself and not like any other
Animal. But just the same I'm sick
and no one cares, and it's cruel-that's
what 1t is
"'How perfectly absurd to say it is
cruel said Mrs. Lion in a very roaring
voice, for she was angry that the Gil
raffe had talked about the nap she and
Mr.. Lion had been taking. 1T would
be cruel of you to expect us to take
an interest in your sickness. We all
know you have Sore Throat again-and
then you'll tell US how much worse it
is than any other Animals Sore Throat
could ever be because you have such a
great, long neck. 1t would give US the
Sore Throat to look up at your neck
and to see if we thought it was in such
terrible condition. You shouldn't ex.
pect so much of your Friends
"'Thats where you're wrong, Mrs
Lion said the Giraffe. I haven't
the Sore Throat at all
"At that all the Animals looked up in
surprise, for to hear that the Giraffe
was i'll without a Sore Threat was the
strangest thing they had ever heard Of
"'What is the matterY they all
shouted. And you should have heard
the roars that came from the Zoe
house, as they asked that question.

MID-SEASON DRESS

variety obtains In cut and color or
for anyone with the slightest knack
at sewing or with artistic ideas to
go very far wrong.
Printed and plain white wolfe are
suggested as suitable for the little
frock shown In the sketch, although
plain and dotted handkerchief linen,
checked Bingham and plain color
chambray, etc, might be used as eff
fectively.
The double tunic is suggestive of a
style line that is to be given consider
able prominence in the first showing
of fall frocks. Advance bulletins and
advance models carry out an illusion
of brevity in length and breadth of
skirts while they are in reality longer
and narrower than those generally ia
vored at present, and the long tunic
aids very materially in this illusion,
the underskirt being reasonably close
reefed and modestly long, while the
upper skirt or tunic is given a decided
| flare. The hosiery display of the past
season or two will not be looked on
with favor in the fall, as practically
all frocks brush lower than the shoe
! tops.
The little frock in the sketch is, how
ever, distinctly q summer model, and
/ excellent for tub fabrics. The back
of the bodice has deep round yoke,
coming below the shoulders, of white
wolfe, and the back of the skirt is ex-
actly like the front, paneled in white
and printed wolfe. The dress fastens
in the center front.
To make this gown, three yards of
plain fabric SO inches wide and seven
and half yards of figured material
the same width will be required. The
bottom skirt measures four yards
wide. A bright ribbon is used for the
girdle.
The generous use of ribbon as q
| trimming or finishing touch on sum-
mer frocks is notable feature, and it
strengthens the quaint and pictur-
esque tendency Of the seasons ap-
parel.
Ribbons will be used rather freely
on the next seasons evening frocks
| Colored silk or bead embroideries are
favorite trimming touches for modish
utility gown of serge or gaberdine
The tendency to favor a lower waist
line is more and more emphasized as
the early fall models see the light Of
day.-Washingto Star.

pay attention to him at last. "'Well,
then, what is the matter with me, you
all ask? He wanted to hear them
say it again, and sure enough again
they all roared out:
"'What is the matter, tell us quick
W The Giraffe waved his neck about
and waited for a moment, and then
he said, I've a Sore Foot
"'Well,' said Mrs. Lion, did ever
anyone hear Of a Giraffe with a Sore
Foot. Poor old Giraffe and it's way
off from you too And Mrs. Lion
grew quite kindly and sad.
Gust then the Keeper came in with
Supper for the Animals, and when he
saw they were all talking to the Gil
rafte he went to his cage first. There
the Giraffe put up his Foot and the
keeper Immediately got some nice lini-
ment and bandaged it for the Giraffe
and gave him an extra fine Supper.
"All the evening the other animals
talked to the Giraffe to cheer him up
and told him Of many wild adventures
they had had when they were young
in the deep forests. And the Giraffe
was so thankful he had had Sore
Foot and not a Sore Throat as all the
Animals seemed to think that was
something new and interesting"

Styles Is Thing That Has to
Be Recognized.

Buttons are not at all left In the
lurcll because of the amount Of hand
work used. In fact, they serve TO ac-
centuate the special feature of the
waist, coat or suit they adorn. But
tons increase the Importance of peck
cts, belt and capes and give themselves
a chance to assume extraordinary
shapes and sizes.
Because Of the vogue for dark suits
with white hats, shoes or CATERS, white
ivory buttons are allowed. Sometimes
they are ringed with black or a fash
ionable color, sometimes they have a
pearl center, but all of them are light
in weight, and that accounts for at
least part Of their popularity. They
are also made on dark taffeta dresses.
Those used on coats and suits are
more conservative, mushroom and
saucer shapes being the most popular.
Balls, squares and cubes are also en-
ployed, as well as acOrns. Pearl but.
tons come in all sizes and shapes, from
the large ball buttons, appropriate for
novelty suits, and the fiat styles for
separate skirts, to the tiny ones for
shirtwaists. Heavy colored materials
make use Of ribbed buttons.
Checked suits may be thanked for
tive plain and checked button, as well

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fufills almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get bottle of Swamp.
Root from any druggist now. Start treat.
ment today.
However, if you wish first to test thi.
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Become an Adept in Tying
a Bow.

This Is ribbon season, as we all
know, and the shops, naturally, have
put forth a big and goodIy supply of
attractive ribbons in response to the
demand fashion has made for them.
Do you know how to tie a bow?
Probably not. In this day of special
lzatiOn few women do know how to
tie more than a lingerie or hair rib
bon. We leave it for the saleswOman
at the ribbon counters, for our dress
makers and our mllliners to tie bows
of every other sort.
To begin with, If you would tie
bows successfully, buy a reel of fine
covered wire and use it to tie the
loops in position. This, for instance,
Is the way a professional ties a sash
rosette for a child's frock. She takes
one end Of two or three yards of rib
bon and measures off about thirty
inches to go around the waist. Then
she makes as many loops as she
wishes, gathering the ribbon for e;t@n
through her fingers.
Next she measures off with her
right hand, holding the loops in her
left, enough ribbon for the two ends,
and, at the end of this ribbon makes
one more loop. This leaves a long
hoop Of ribbon, later to be the two
ends, and with one of them ties
around the rosette loops, so making
one end shorter than the other.
MORE ribbon is perhaps prettiest
for children's sashes, although a stiff
quality Of taffeta answers the same
purpose well. The soft satin ribbons
are not so pretty on children as are

sweet milk and two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter. Add the yolks Of two

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two-PIy Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially

This is the day of the tWO-cylinder
name, which fact has been proved by
cognOmen connoisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all, and seem to get
on rather well without them.
1t is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency is to be
blamed for the dropping of diversified
names, for it has long been understood
that a person with two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about it.
In the course of wealthy mans life
it means the writing of about 10000
600 useless words if he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got to be con-
sidered.
The Porcelain club at Harvard, the
most exclusive organization of its kind
in the country, proves this year the
failing value of middle names. There
are fifteen members this year, and but
five of them are burdened with excess
sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence is considered as moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That
one fact is almost enough to wreck the
complicated title system at the uni
versity.

CoIors for Autumn,

The powers that be who determine
what women will wear next season
have put their heads together in Paris
and decided upon the new autumn col
ors. Would you like to know what
they are to be? Yellow, it seems, is
left out entirely and green, so fash
ionable this year, will have few adj
herents. There are purplish blues,
nickel and gunmetal grays, several
charming reds, including fuchsia, ge-
ranium and brick red. Browns will be
exclusively fashionable with gamut
from bisque to chocolate. The great
feature in this respect, however, will
be chameleon, each chameleon shade
combining two others in shot effect.

VILLA FLEEING, PRESTIGE Conn
REBEL MAKING WAY SOUTH
WITH FEW FOLLOWERS,
PERSHINC REPORTS

Washington, August 23--In a tele
gram to the War Department toda,
Brigadier General Pershing reported
that Francisco villa when last heard
from was making his way south into
Durango with a small following, and
that the opinion was general that his
prestige was gone and that he never
again could become a serious factor
in Mexican affairs. General Persbine
said thot until recently villa had been
secluded in the mountains of South
ern Chihuahua, where he was driven
last April by American troops.
The dispatch, sent from expedition
AIRY headquarters at Colonia Rublan,
follows:
MY last message regarding Villa at
tack on Parral is now reported incor-
rect. Villa had only small following.
He avoided Parral and places occu-
pied by Carranza troops. He was
making his way south into Durango.
Probably now hiding in mountains.
Until recently Villa has been hid
ing since being driven to mountains
OF Southern Chihuahua by our troops
last April His late attempt to obtain
following reported as almost total
failure. Opinion seems general that
Villa prestige is gone. and that he can
never again become serious factor in
Mexican affairs"
Army officers here were inclined to
regard the report of Villas loss of
prestige as most important, and likely
to have a bearing on the question of
of American forces in
Mexico.
