For Norwood's a mar who will come to
the front,
In congress or senate, or both:
The State is his debtor, he's made her
much better
With the laws he has made for her
much growth.
Walker Wood is a man k~ind-hearted
and true,
Of politics he's had his fill;
He has had some soft snaps and has
taken some raps;
But he's running the weekly Times
still.
Walkers favorite exchange is the New
Orleans States,
As all men can read as they run;
He apes its front page, and he thinks
he's some sage
With the sensational front he puts on.
But Woods making good with his right
neWsy sheet
And he's grabbing success with a
vim;
He's a mar every inch and he's good in
a pinch,
And the Times is a reflection of him.
Wood has worked very hard to get up
this meet
For Clarksdale entertained he well
knew;
And he wanted the boys to come here
with their Joys
For he knows that their pleasures are
few.

Pebbles for Thirst.

What is the best thirst-quencher on
the march? Weak tea and sterilized
water are the beverages officially rec
commended by a paternal army council
WhereWith to fill water bottles, though
the soldier is urged to drink as little
as possible lest he merely a%ggravate
this thirst. Most old soldiers have
their own pet theories on the matter
of thirst-quenchers, and offer them
freely (and generally in vain) to re-
cruits.
One sergeant Of wide experience is
ready to stake his reputation on the
soothing effect of a tangerine grange (;
another will chew lic0rice or tobacco.
But there is a reader and cheaper
way. A small, smooth stone Is selected
and steadily sucked on the march to
keep the tongue moist. The recent
loss of a %favorite pebble, his friend on
many a long march, has greatly sad
dened a certain company sergeant ma
jor, and he still nurses the firm and
unsuitable conviction that it was sur
reptitiously borrowed and swallowed
by a greedy platoon sergeant.-Man-
chester Guardian.

ders. Her pride was badly hurt. She
gave her arm to Tallman, and they
went on down the street, Sanders tag
ging along in the rear.
1t was that evening that Elsie told
Sanders he was a coward. Sanders
went away miserably and did not see
her again for two or three weeks. The
town staggered, but everyone agreed
that Tallman was justified in trying
to win the girl, especially from q fell
low like Sanders.
1t was just about two weeks after
this episode that the striking event in
the towns annals occurred. 1t went
to bed with the Rio Grande flowing
peacefully before it and the desert and
the hills beyond. 1t awoke to the
sound of rifle shots and the yells Of
the Mexican brigands.
They had stolen upon the place and
shot down the handful Of police. Now,
galloping through the streets, they
were loOting stores, setting houses on
fire, and numbering all whom they
met. The town knew what had hap
pened the moment it awakened, to-
ward daylight, but it had never x
pected to share the fate Of the other
raided border settlements.
Sanders staggered into his clothes
and ran into the street. The raiders
were still at work upon the business
section, but the little residential part
was about to be attacked. Isolated
parties were drawing nearer. Sanders
and Tallman and Elsie lived within q
stones throw of each other. On
reaching the street Sanders found q
small body of men busy making a
barricade. A dozen or so of rifles had
been discovered, and an impromptu
company had been organized.
Travers, the self-constituted cap
tain, thrust a rifle into Sanders hand.
Here, 1 guess you're man enough
to use this, aren't your he asked
doubtfully.
Sanders took 1t and loaded 1t. AS
he did so cries were heard from q
street a block away, answered by the
yells of the Mexicans. Another party
had stolen into the town by a differ,

Thing

Tallman was the first to start max
ing game of Sanders. Sanders was
an average little mar of the type that
is met everywhere. But the town was
small enough for everybody to see
everybody else several times a day,
and the hot Texan summer makes
men irritable or malicious, according
to their natures.
Sanders didn't drink, or smoke, and
he wouldn't fight. The last crime was
the deadliest. 1t was shown in this
way: Tallman had invited Sanders
to join him at the saloon; Sanders
refused, and Tallman called him the
sort of name no self-respecting mar
takes. Sanders turned white, but he
didn't strike Tallman. That was San
ders' finish in the border town.
A man is expected to fight. Elsie
Duval told Sanders as much when he
came calling. Sanders WINGED, but
only took his hat and went.
Elsie Duval was the unquestioned
belle of the place. Every a was
supposed to have proposed to her at
one time or another. Tallman, how
ever was accredited with a leading
share in her capricious heart. She
had been interested in Sanders be-
cause he was a new face, but Tall
mans friends had recounted the cpl
Sode. Everyone knew that little San
ders was infatuated with the beauty,
and they laughed at it, laughed at the
simplicity Of the little man. Hell
get his quietus soon," they said.
He did, when he was eScorting Miss
Elsie from church. Tallman stepped
out of the building a moment after
Sanders had given the girl his arm.
"What do you mean by butting IMP"
he demanded. Miss Duval has prom
lSed to walk home with me-"
Sanders looked at Tallman inquir-
lngly. I'm sorry if / intruded; l
didn't know" he said.
Tallman burst into laughter, and
Elsie Duval looked scornfully at San

Has Bible 230 Years Old.

John lehman Of %Juliaetta, Idaho,
has a Bible that was printed in Ans
terdam, Holland, in 1856. The pages
of the book, printed on red paper,
measure 10h by IN inches. 1t has
board covers with leather trimmings
and the volume weighs 25 pounds. The
text Is German, while the title pages
are In English cut letters. 1t contains
four descriptive maps, each surround
ed by symbolical pictures. These maps
are printed from wood cuts, showing
the Holy Land and adjacent territory,
and are very legible. The work con-
tains the imprint Of Hendrick and ia
cob Keur, printers, Of Amsterdam In
1886. The volume has been in the Hol-
land family for 220 years, having been
handed down as a precious heirloom
from father to son for generations I'M

Widows Bonnet.

While the majority Of mourners are
not making their mourning conspicu-
u by It's very intensity, there are
still widows who persist in wearing
the long veil as a token of their be.
reavement. For such there are several
picturesque new styles being shown.
The veil draping is not very different
from that employed by those out Of
mourning who are adopting the long
veil for its smart style qualities. 1t
is thrown over a small toque founda-
ton, thrown back from the face and
held perfectly plain in front by a band
of white crepe around the face line.

Two Distinct Styles Have Been
Featured by the Partisan
big Houses"
SLEEVES MADE A FEATURE
Decree Is That They Must Be Tight
From the Elbow Down-Directoire
Y and First Empire Effects
Copied-Embroidery Used
in Profusion.

New York.-The coats of the season
may be roughly summed up in two
parasitic short, capelike shapes with
sleeves that ripple over the top of a
high-waisted, embroidered belt at
tached to the skirt-these are in the
minority, but very smart-and the man
nish directoire coat featured by Che
ruit, Bernard, Douillet, Callot and
most of the other big Paris houses.
This latter coat will probably be
the shape seen on more than half the
women this season. 1t has a slim top
that fits the figure, a small belt that
draws attention to itself through but
tons or buckles in front, and an extra
full skirt which c~OnvOlutes around
the figure and in which are exploited
several of the newest features. They
are difficult to describe in detail the
general idea is that the material is
brought back and twisted over in many
curious ways, as if the designer had
been trying out an experiment with the
cloth and had pinned it up into pockets,
loose straps and revers and then left
them all there.
Coat Has Novel Features.
The novelty in the top part of the
coat consists in radiating lines from
neck to waist by guSsets of the same
material inserted and corded or
stitched at the edges. 1t is probable

are belted so high under the bust and
have such narrow shoulders that they
instantly suggest a costume worn by
TOsca. The skirts of these coats are
full, cling to the figure and are cov-
cred with sOutache or embroidery.
There is a band of fur on the outside
of the hem-this is q novelty borrowed
from the Russians-and a deeper band
ON the inside.
Coats of Heavy Blue Satin.
Heavy satin is used as frequently
for coats as velvet, and a bright dark
blue seems to be the choice of the
French designers. Both of them are
heaped with fur. Nutria is used, rab-
bit, brown, gray and white, but not
many Of the coarse, long-haired pei
try. The fur this season must be fiat
and pliable, so that it can lend itself
to all the soft curves of the material.
Bernard has turned out a black satin
coat with brown fur that the Ameri-
| a dressmakers think will have a long
run of popularity. 1t follows the
fashion of last year, In that it has
wide, distended openings at the side,
exactly below the waist, that are heav-
lily corded at the edges. There is q
black gown that goes with this, with
a deep renaissance yoke of gold lace,
but the majority of women will buy
the coat, probably, without the gown.
Miles of Embroidery.
1t would be terrifying to have a
statistician measure in miles the EN-.
brOidery used on the new gowns. 1t
would make a new burden for our
minds to carry, which are already feel
ing the burden of this departure in
clothes.
If there is one thing that France
knows how to do better than any other
place in the world, it is n~eedleWOrk.
She has called up all her resources in
this line today. All her n~eedleW0rkers
are not under the colOrs, but they are
under orders to cover every piece Of
material that goes out Of Paris with
the most complicated embroidery.
| The designs are drawn from sew

are represented. The majority of the
designs, however, are reminiscent Of

New Satin Blouse From France.

that this idea was evolved from what
is known as the delta decollete, which
was exploited by the Duchess de
VendOme in Paris last winter, but
which was never taken up in this coun-
try. These gussets inserted from neck
to waist make a deep delta effect.
The sleeves are gathered at the top,
sometimes made after the genuine
leg-o'-mutton shape which is not ap-
proved by American dresSmakers and
which has been altered by many of
them into a mor graceful shape
which is buttoned tightly from the
knuckles of the hand to just below the
elbow, then flaring to the armhole,
where its fullness is slight enough to
be put into a few well-streaked gath
ers at the back.
Whatever else sleeves are, they are
tight from the elbow down. Cuffs of
fur are frequent, but they fit the wrist
and flare upward and outward to hold
the fullness of the sleeve as it mounts
toward the bend of the elbow.
Fur collars are made in this shape,
often pointed in front, fitted tightly
to the shoulders and flaring upward
and outward to the ears. Satin, velour,
jersey and velvet are the choice of ma
terials for these suits.
Inclined to the Directoire.
The prophecies for directoire and
first empire styles have come good.
There are gowns of dull blue satin that
have small jacket effects attached to
the skirt, half covered with gray SOU
tache embroidery, which are cut in a
straight line just under the bust and
then dipped to long points of braiding
ove the hips.

scribed might have been worn in
