Several different people from diff
ferent parts Of the country have re-
ported that during the storm Sun
day they saw lightning in the form
of ball, which fell from the clouds
and exploded near the ground. This
is very unusual form of lightning,
and is seldom reported.
Last Thursday can of cream fell
onto L. H. Dedrick's foot, smashing

to his office, and Mr.. DERRICK wishes
to express his thanks to them public

Enlistments will not be SO many in
this section as if the war were of a
different nature. Most young men
feel that the war has been brought
on by moneyed interests seeking to
force Uncle Sam to protect their fl
nancial investments, and not by any
national need or danger. Hence they
see no patriotism in fghting-and
the other inducements do not appeal
to many young men.
Another belated wedding an
nouncement is that of Gordon
Holmes Of Chippewa Falls, and Miss
Leona Peake, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. c. Peake of Highwood

people met at the River Falls Nor
NAL school, and a year ago or more
were married in the Cities. On their
return the bride told her relatives
that she was married, but they
thought she was joking; the groom
did not want the wedding publicly
announced while he was yet in
school, but as he graduated this
spring the announcement was then
made. Friends of the young couple
are how extending best wishes and
congratulations.

 The unprecedentedly large number of persons who have perished Alaska trails and in remote districts during the past winter especially in the northwestern portion and the Seward peninsula suggests that there ought of minimizing these pitful trag edes of the North Most of them to have occur red human habitations and in instances other cases could have been aided had a regular trail patrol been maintained
 Uncle Sam maintains in Alaska hundreds of husky factory answer to the question why army posts were maintained in sections of the territory say that these would welcome duty that would them the various trails instead of wasting their time in idleness from month to month in barracks the force of soldiers constantly main the territory there would be opportunity for the organization of the effective trail patrol magin able.
 Why does constructive statesman" in the department break through the enveloping red sufficiently give these soldiers useful task form and the time furnish of protect ion the hardy fellows who pioneering the work of bringing the wilderness under mans subjection? The press of the territory continues publish lists of murders that have been committed in Alaska for which has been brought the bar of justice With trail patrol of several hundred working in conjunction with the civil authorities there would be little chance for the perperator of crime escape from the terri tory

WASTING AMMUNITION.

Their whole compost tion is made up of cussedness deceit and coward ice Their tendency to initiate the snakes in that respect is proverbial.
 Yet and despite all that, the administration keeps on shooting paper bullets. Knowing very we'll that kindness will never do Cold steel is what they want and plenty of it. It may be. however that the presidents reluctancy to take the proper remedy is due to the fact that it is only recently that he stopt the shipping of arms and ammunition into Mexico. and naturally he dislikes to send American citizens into that country as targets for the greasers to spend our steel on.
 A people like the Mexicans should be deprived of all arms, even jackknives. They are savages. But if We want to be kind to them let us put ropes around their necks and hoist them up. To use steel would be a waste of ammunition They are not worth it.

It was these very women who curtailed their liberty last fall It is these women and the "cissy" young men who threaten all kinds of rc- forms on the real men; which reforms they carry out at every opportunity. Under such condi- ton, if the women think that the real men will anticipate their desire. they are mistaken. The real man is man wherever he may be. He wants his liberty at home, and for that liberty he is ready to fight anytime, but if he is slapped at home, he is sure to resent it and will take every opportunity to show his resentment. It is natural for the real man to he mean if you kick him in the pants.

Every season presents us with
matched millinery sets and usually
they are combinations of velvet and
fur. The neckpiece, muff and hat to
match will set off the plainest of
frocks or suits with an elegance equal
to almost any requirement for after
noon wear. In the set shown in the
picture mole-colored velvet and mole
skin fur are put together with great
deal of cleverness and originality.
Plain bands of moleskin and long
tabs of velvet lined with satin form

The tabs are lengths of velvet cut into
shallow points at one end. For the
neckpiece a band of moleskin forms

papers In Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head

Roeder (alias Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing

believes him a French instead of Ger

her. She begs him to announce their Sc

Tailored hats, sports hats, and plain
hats, for everyday wear, start the sea-
son in September, but with October
comes the time when all members Of
the family rejoice in the acquisition of
dressy millinery. The milliner is over
whelmed with orders, for everyone,
from grandma to the littlest sister,
wants a pretty hat and is in Il hurry
for it. The milliner's worries are les
sened if her customers come in with
some definite idea in mind and are not
all at sea as to what they really want.
Here are three pretty hats for little
misses, which may help out in making
a choice. They are all simple, child
fish designs, and they are the last word
in dress headwear for little folks. At
the left dignified lady of eleven
wears a hat with crown of black
velvet. Its drOOpy brim is covered
with blue satin ribbon gathered along
the edges. The brim facing is e blue
satin also, and the brim edge is bound
with a soft fur which looks just
enough like chinchilla to be called by
its name. A piece of the satin ribbon
is laid over the crown and caught at
the front with a cluster of leaves and
little flowers. 1t ends at the back
with bow having hanging loops and
ends.
At the right the pretty maid of five
is pleased over the possession of a
white velvet hat edged with white fur.
1t is frightened with rosette of rib
bon and a few small flowers at the
left side.
The roguish girl OF five, at the top
of the group, wears demure hat of
