That he or she at times possesses
That habit of SO often letting
Thoughts go straying and-forgettingI
What lot of trouble that little habit
makes! don't know of any that makes
more trouble. We forget to do some
thing that we ought to do, or we forget
not to do something that we ought not
to do and then all sort of unpleasant
things happen. II no one ever forgot
the things that they shouldn't forget
Old Mr.. Trouble wouldn't find half SO
much to do.
Farmer Browns boy is pretty good
about not forgetting, but he is just like
the rest of US and does forget some
times. You remember that 1t was be-
cause he forgot to shut the hen yard
gate that Granny and Reddy Fox were
able to get that good dinner of fat
hens. He meant he honestly and truly
meant, that that should be a lesson to
him and that never again would he be
so careless as to forget. But you know
how 1T is-so hard to remember and so
easy to forget. 1t was just so with
Farmer Browns boy. He is Just like
the rest Of US, and that is one reason I
like him.
OF course, you remember how the

Jenny and Her Polonaise.

No great designer, no matter how
fertile her brain may be In the new
suggestions, gets entirely away from
a certain costume that she likes to
send out as symbol of her house.
(The limitations of the English lam
guage prevent one from making this
sentence refer to both male and fe-
male, but it means both the man and
the woman designer)
Worth, for instance, has been known
for crtain type of gown since Eu-
genie was Empress of France, and for
half a century this house has made no
pretense of withdrawing that model be-
cause of sameness in outline.
Callot has lent her name to certain
bit of drapery from shoulder to ankle.
This model is turned out decade after
decade by one of the greatest design
ing houses in the world without
apology and without lowering the
original tone of the establishment.
Paquin. with her cape from the shout
ders; Cheruit, with her slim bodice and
narrow belt: Poiret. with his untitled
effect of any costume he makes; Lam
win, with her inclination toward the
Spanish and always the red rose; Dou-
Get, with the black and white elegance
Of the early eighteenth century, and
Jenny. with her transparent polonaise
over a tight, dark satin skirt, have
been significant landmarks of fashion
in this generation. Not that all these
designers strictly belong to this gene
ration, for. beginning with Worth and
ending with Jenny. the newest of them,
they run through half a century.

Incoming of Black and White.

Women who are in France and who
are careful observers write of the grow
ing influence of black and white over
all classes of society in Paris. except
ing among those women who are still
dressed in deep mourning. 1t is not
safe to predict that this combination
will win out in America in the early
spring, for we do not seem in mood
to give up the gayest of colors. Yet
the great designers of Paris, aided and
abetted by their followers in this coun-
try, are making such alluring gowns
in these two colors that the woman of
distinction will undoubtedly accept
them. And in this black and white
Jenny repeats her floating polonaise
bolic of her work year after year.
The sketci. given today has arrived
directly from the house of Jenny on
the Champs. Elysees, and is, therefore.
of exceeding interest. The skirt is of
black satin, short and narrow, with
waist to hem. The white mousseline
polonaise is merely a cobweb, show
ing slim surplice bodice of the black
satin, which has the novelty of short,
small sleeves. The mousseline is draped
into long sleeves, with the tight wrist
and the bulge below the elbow which
is commonly accepted There is deli
cate tracery of white and silver en-
broidery at all edges of this mousse
line polonaise. At the waist line the
embroidery mounts high at the sides
and across the back. to give stability
In France this kind of gown is worn
to the play and to whatever dinners
are given in that stricken city, but in
America it can be worn in the after
noon In the south at this time of the
year. with a wide brimmed, black-and-
white satin hat.

Seat by Lawmakers

City hall employees are on the anx-
ious seat regarding a civil service

Yankton Congressman
Given Jolt by Home Folks

Yankton, S. D., April 7.-(Special.)
AS soon as Yankton people heard
that Congressman C. H. Dillon had
voted with the minority in the great
administration war issues, Indignation
broke all bounds here in Mr.. Dillon's
home town, for four decades. A
meeting of the Commercial club was
called and a telegram was sent Mr..
Dillon, regulating his action, inform
ing him that he was not representing
his constituents and limiting broadly
he resign. At the same time a tele-
gram was sent to President Wilson
backing him and the majority in con-
gress in the patriotic stand taken.
Yankton is more wrought up over the
situation than ii has been in many a
day and Mr.. Dillon has serious sit
uation at home to contend with. He
has always been very pronounced
against any form Of preparedness, and
his action is not surprise to those
who have discussed the same subject
with him, 49,.

Socialists at st. Louis
Protest AGAINST War

St. Louis, April IA special ses-
sion of the national convention OF
the socialist party met here today to
present the attitude Of the convention
on the war with Germany. Two hun
bred delegates were present.
Morris Hillquit of New York, tenn
porary chairman, in calling the con-
vention to order, said:
Nov that the nation is in the war
with Germany it remains for us to. see
to it that the predatory classes do
not make cent off it. Let those who
can afford to pay finance the war
not the working classes. .n
1T was the social revolution that
overthrow the Russian autocracy. And
soon there will be revolution in Ger
many and in Austria Hungary. A re-
bellious working class will end the
war by social revolution"
Mr.. Hillquit said that at the out
break of the European war interna-
tionalism had collapsed before "vul-
gar patriotism"
."Our country has been violently
needlessly, drawn into war;" he con-
tinued. I'VE are the only force in
America now with clear vision and il
remains for us to protest against the
butchery."

to purchase at least a couple of them.
Nude BY Bovgvereav.
Foremost among the canvases

lutely true to life and is one Of the
most realistic nudes now in existence,

RAIL BOARD HEARS
MANY COMPLAINTS
Missouri Pacific Undecided on
Method Of Financing
PHONE COMPLAINTS HEARD

Lincoln, April 7.-(Specal) Fol
lowing the opinion by Attorney Gen.
eral Willis E. Reed, that the Nebraska
Railway commission has no jursdie-
ton to. approve $383,OO0OOO securi-
ties under reorganization of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, the officers
of the reorganization have withdrawn
all files and exhibits submitted two
week ago.
1t was intimated that the new Or
ganization had not definitely decided
on the steps necessary for the bonds
to be approved, and that the matter
presented wa purely informal pre-
paratory for a hearing later in the
question OF approval.
Telephone Complaints.
The commission has considered a
half dozen minor telephone COM
plants from over the state. Two
mutual companies own toll line be-
tween Red Cloud and Baden One
would charge its subscribers 10 cents
and the other nothing. The companies
agreed to tax non-stockholders 10
cents and stockholders cents. The
commission said the 10-cent basis
would have to apply to all.
The Farmers Independent Tele-
phone company owns two telephone
lines switching at North Platte. 1t
wants to- divide the lines and make
two companies. On a showing with
good reasons, the commission said
this could be done, on a bona6de sale
of the property to the divided corpor-
atoms.
The commission has told pro-
posed farmers competing telephone
company at Odell, Neb., it must file
plans and specifications before it will
be allowed to issue $4,000 in stock
for an exchange.
Exchange Rules Govern.
A farmers company, which allows
visitors and employees free toll, is
switched by the Edison, Neb. ex-
change, which has strict rules against
outsiders. The exchange rules gov
ern, the commission says.
Thee East Deer Creek Telephone
company refused to build a line for
F. R. Cross, a mile out of Ingram,
after he had4offered to pay half. The
commission holds the company must
give the service.
Instead of raising rates, the Ante
lope County Mutual Telephone COM
pany proposed to let each subscriber
pay for his connecting line. The COM
mission said no, for past subscribers
had not been required to do so.
The commission set Friday next
for the hearing of the application of
the Cunning County Indepdent Tele-
phone company to issue $1,000 in
stock to build an exchange at Wisner.
