thereof, than any one state would
have right or authority to make

Without the concurrent action

that respect l claim that Frank
Piquette has been illegally paid
any of the Chippewa funds Of
Minnesota, that he may have re-

of AL the Chippewas of Minneso
ia, Now Gus, this is the appear
ance of the transaction which you
have placed yourself on record as
protecting.
Of course we want Piquette to
know that we believe he has. no
right to be on the Rolls of the
Chippewas of Minnesota, and there
will be an effort to correct this
apparent monstrosity, and he will
be called upon to answer for him
self upon an investigation of the
matter, although he did not call
upon all the Chippewas Of. Minnez
sofa or their representatives to
witness the transaction Dy which
he is said to have engineered him
self upon the rolls of the Nett

he was present at the alleged coun-

wish also to Commend your

conduct in the case Of the first
draft of the resolution in the Frank
Piquette case, develops the fact
that, so far as you are concerned,
there is no such a thing as a zone

failed to do.
Even tho, that l had never heard

If one has nothing of more impor- tance to do, the chambray and ging- ham everyday play clothes for the lit tie boy of five or so may be made at home. But clothes of this kind are manufactured so well and so cheaply that there is no economy in doing the work at home
 In buying material there is economy in getting enough for several suits and cutting them out at the same time. Plain and striped or checked patterns are used together, as shown in the H. lustration. The pieces left after the garments are cut serve to make the pockets, cuffs, collars, bands, etc, and those of the plain fabric are used on the checked or striped suit, or those of the checked on plain suits.
 Just now suits made with plain pants with striped and belted Russian blouses are much the fashion for lit tie boys, worn with leather belts in black. Bright red, blue, green or brown make the stripes against a white or unbleached ground, demonstrating that even the togs of the youngest ath- letes take some note of the fad for sports clothes. But the stanch quaE- ties of old and tried fabrics, like those shown in the picture, always give them first place in the consideration of manufacturers.
 The rompers shown at the left of the picture may be had in chambray, coarse linen or heavy cotton weaves. The body and pants are set together at the front under belt of checked gingham. The belt buttons at one side and the pocket and cuffs to match it finish this useful garment neatly. The suit at the right shows the re-

am sorry to say philosophers and doc has much to do with cultivatins a babys bad temper or succeeding by patience in roofing it out.
 It is said that the child soon discov- CTS that it can have anything it wants by screaming hard enough for it, re- fusing to be quelled until it conquers. Exasperated mothers, with nerves all atingle, do anything, give them what they want, to hush the distressing cries. Through childhood, girlhoo3 and into womanhood they carry the wand which has proved so successful for them.
 Acquaintances, friends and sweet hearts are not so amenable as their family and refuse to give the girl with nasty temper her own way. There fore she gets many a jolt and heart ache as she goes through life.
 If she must earn her own living a hasty temper is the most serious drawback she could be cursed with. Employer or fellow workers will not submit to her will. She soon discov- CTS that her lack of judgment in not holding her peace and her tongue has cost her good position.
 After few such experiences, she practices that which she should have been made to do in childhood-curbs her angry emotions by strong will power.
 The most pitiful thing that can hap pen young woman is to carry hasty temper into her married life. All of the happiness of her after life depends upon the disposition of the man she has annexed If he Is of a peaceful nature, abhoring contention, he will most likely continue to give her her own way just as her home folks have done and live in continual turmoil ever after. These are the husbands who are apt to vote marriage failure.
 Sweethearts quarrels usually mean that one or the other possesses has ty temper. It should be overcome in the trying school of courtship. A hasty temper is the cause of more misery in this world than most people are aware of. This is just a word of warning to those who need it.

SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL
Disease is Responsible for Failure of Peach Crop in Some Orchards
 Use Bordeaux.

It has been estimated that leaf curl causes an annual loss of two millions to three millions of dollars to the peach industry of the United States. It is largely responsible for the failure of the peach crop in some orchards and for the short life of the trees.
 The most familiar aspect of the dis ease is the swollen, distorted appear ance of the leaves in the early spring
 When the disease first becomes appar- ent, the swollen portions of the leaves are usually of a light red or pink color The affected leaves gradually turn yell low, finally blacken and fall to the ground. In some cases the trees may be nearly defoliated, thus making it necessary to develop an entire second crop of leaves. This is a severe strain upon the vigor and reserve energy of the tree, and unless it is we'll culti vated, sprayed and fertilized it may be permanently weakened. The curl ing and distortion of peach leaves may also be caused by aphis or plant lice, but the attack of these insects

In planning negligees one must con- sider just what purposes they are to serve, and choose the materials and style accordingly. The dressiest ones of today are worn over petticoats, en- pire slips, or harem trousers made of silk or satin, and are long coats of thin materials Qike chiffon or crepe or organdie or printed voile), lace and ribbon trimmed. The garment to be worn under them is of equal impor- tance and often serves no other pur- pose than to complete the negligee.
 The most practical of elegant neg ligees are those made of thin wash fabrics elaborated with dainty faces and embroidery, to be worn over silk petticoats or lace-trimmed skirts. Fine plain white goods in all the sheer and dainty weaves, are used for mak- ing them. They are much trimmed with lingerie lace and hand needle work on the body, and skirts open down the front with band or wide tucks about the bottom.
 Besides the all-white cotton materi- ak figured voiles and printed mulls

GIRLS WITH HASTY TEMPERs.

The charms of youth at once are seen
 and past;
 And nature says: "They are too sweet to
 last"
 So blooms the rose. and so the blushing
 maid.
 Be gay. not cross, Too soon the flowers
 of spring will fade.
 It is always the most seemingly per. feet peach that Is found to have a speck on it, It is always the ideal maiden who possesses just one little fault that keeps her cut of the earth angel class and puts her in the ranks of human girlhood
 Those who live under the roof with a girl are the first to discover her failings. In all the catalogue of faults none is so hard for those about her to contend with as a nasty temper. Each and every member of tho family is obliged to be constantly on his or her guard lest by somo thoughtlessly apo- ken word or act her temper may be aroused and family quarrel ensue.
 To imagine a child i5 born with a h-sty temper is a mistake The spirit E fostered in the child in infancy. ]

RICH SOIL FOR RASPBERRIES
Northern Slope Is Generally Better Than SoutherIy One-keep Land
 We'll Cultivated.

Raspberries do well on any rich soil but the suckering classes, which include chiefly the red varieties, pro- duce rather better in less heavy loam, while the black-cap varieties do best in a sandy loam. A northern slope is generally better than a southerly one, as it is less liable to injury from drought.
 All varieties need high cultivation. Have the land well manured and thor oughly plowed and brought into the best condition possible. The best fer tilizer is well-rotted manure Set in rows seven feet apart and at three foot intervals Tn the rows. Put two plants at a place. The distance be- tween the rows may be lessened to four feet If more space is not avail able. Set in the ground about the depth in the soil as the plants natu- rally grew. Firm the soil well around the roots.
 Not more than two shoots should be allowed to grow from large root each year, and these should be pruned off when IS inches high to encour- age the growth of lateral branches, because the raspberries fruit more heavily on the laterals than on the main cane. Keep the soil well culti. vated

accomplish some wonderfully pretty effects in less expensive designs. They are patterned after models in crepe or chiffon that are very filmy and beauti full. One of these crepe designs is shown in the picture, worn over pet ticoat of lowered taffeta. It is made with a skirt of plaited crepe and bloused bodice, with shawl drape of wide shadow lace. A big rosette- bow of satin ribbon, with ends half yard long, is chosen in a color to match the color prevailing in the negligee. Maize, pale green, rC SC, blue, and pink are liked best, ana some lavender and or enid tints are exquisite. The color is chosen with reference to the petit coat, or the petticoat with reference to the color
 In the picture pretty cap matches the negligee in color and is made of crepe and lace in the crown. Narrow ribbon is used for rulfle and band trimming. Silk stockings and bou- doir slippers of satin or ribbon finish a costume as alluring as any the wear CT is privileged to own.

forth in search of 2 kindred heart. The same desire animates all species en- dowed with life-to answer to the trumpet call of spring.
 Few men like to change their mode of living in the cold of winter. They are costly housed and comfortable and are not averse to letting it go at that. In the springtime, mixed with the joy of living, certain twinge of loneli- open, to have someone near who en- Joys the sunshine as much as he does.
 Aye, and when the balmy evenings come, heralding the delights of sum- mer, the human nature in him cries out necessarily for someone's dear lit tie hands to hold, someone to make love to, not lightly with no further thought than the enjoyment of a gol- den hour, but with the earnest inten- tion of wooing in the spring and we'd ding while the glorious summer is still here. That is why so many matches are made in summer.
 Women, too, are moved by spring influences in affairs of the heart. The girl who has steadfastly refused to look upon man in the light of lover while the world was white and cold in it's mantle of snow and ice more often than not changes her mind without apparent rhyme or reason as the warm, sweet days draw on apace. Women are more romantic than men; they love to be told the old, sweet story under the light of the May moon If he has not quite arrived at the pro- posing time, for one reason or an other, by that mystical month, any oth CT month of the dear old summertime will do, but the earlier the better. A happy man is he who has taken time by the forelock, has passed through the cOurtship state successfully and is awaiting glorious spring day to have the wedding solemnized
 Why not make your vacation a we'd ding trip? Many a man has settled the question in that happy manner and ever afterward has cause to bless the hour that the thought occurred to him. Women delight in spring be- trcthals, weddings and bridal trips. Why shouldn't they when it is the most delightful season of the entire year. They, too. take their little les sons from the blithesome robins of spring
 Unfortunate is the man who sees the balmy months approaching with nc sweetheart to ai4 him to greet it. Wise is he who repairs the lack of fore sight by remedying the unfortunate situation at the earliest day possible. No energetic man who realizes the re- sponsibility placed upon him by al lowing him entrance to this world and the privilege of living here should shirk his duty of going forth to find the mate the Lord has created for him.
 His father Adam and mother Eve mated in the springtime. supposedly. At least, 1 have always beheld them in all the pictures l have seen, wan dering through the early blossoms, holding hands. Therefore what more natural than that their descendants should likewise choose the early spring to WOO and mate?

RED AND BLACK RASPBERRIES
Plants Should Have Shallow Culture, as Roots Are Near Surface-Crop
 Is Profitable.

Red and black raspberries should be set six by six, which will require 1,210 plants per acre. Those plants must have shallow culture, as their roots are all near the surface Many fine plantations are almost ruined by deep culture. The crop is profitable when picked on time, and neatly marketed. A grower can pay for his land in a single season with a good crop of ber- ries.

Hair Ornaments,

Russian hair ornaments consisting of strings of pearls which are caught to the hair in the back with fancy pins falling in a loop under the chin and again over the bust, are extreme. but very effective with evening dress. Russian jewelry in the form of brace lets in antique gold, set with colored stones, is attractive. They are oriea. tai in design and coloring.

can readily be distinguished from that of leaf curl. The leaves affected by aphis do not become thickened and reddish or yellowish green in color.
 The spores of this fungus live under the rough bark and in the crevices of the twigs during the summer and win ter months, germinating early in the spring and attacking the young leaves as soon as the leaf buds begin to ex- pand. Cold, wet weather during the months of April and May favors the development of the fungus and largely determines the amount of injury. Warm, dry weather tends to check the growth of the fungus and under such conditions the injury is slight.
 The disease can readily he con- trolled by thorough application of concentrated lime-sulphur before the buds open in the spring. Bordeaux mixture, applied early in the spring before the buds start, also will control leaf curl, but the lime-and-sulphur mixture is advisable because it will control San Jose scale as well.
