She who has not knitting bag must
feel like stranger in strange land.
Christmas will give opportunity to pro-
vide her with this requisite Of the
woman In polite society. Also to re-
place knitting bags that have grown
shabby with use.
Those Of cretonne have everything
to recommend them. They are cheer
full and durable and they are inex-
pensive as bags 60.
The handsome bag in the picture is
made Of tan cretonne with black stripe
and Japanese designs In brilliant flow
ers and foliage. 1t is lined with bright
green sateen and finished with clusters
of satin-cOvered apples In tan, red and
green at each side.
The handles are of thin wood and
are wound with a fiat gold braid.

PRACTICES WHAT HE breaches

1t IS not every one who gives advice
for others to follow, that is willing to
follow the same himself. but the na-
tional food administrator, Herbert
Hoover, has demonstrated that he is
equal to the tasn. When the nation
was asked to observe q meatless day,
Mr.. Hoover forbade the serving Of red
meat of any kind more than once in .
week in his own household, while
several days of the week are observed
as "meatless. White breads Of any
kind whatever are forbidden on the
Hoover table, only corn breads and the
breads made from various dark f1ours
being served. Cake and sweet pastry
are totally unknown at present in the
Hoover larier, and sugar is never used
where it is possible to substitute honey
or any kind of syrup. Fresh fruits are
the principal desserts served. All
kinds of vegetables are served in
quantities at each meal, while large
supplies of the same have been stored
in the Hoover cellar for the winter.

Gunnlson, Nov. 20, 1897.

GunnlSOn, NOV. ~, 1871.
Hello Old Man,
This letter will no doubt be sur
prise to you, but Agnes is sick today,
and wanted me to write for her. /
told her to wait till she was better, but
she is afraid that II Mary does not get
her letter on time, you folks will think
we are offended because you did not
come down to spend Thanksgiving
with us. We We're disappointed, but
no hard feelings.
Agnes is not very sick, just had too
much of good time last week. We
had swell dinner, and then went to
the big ball. She can dance to beat
the band, but / would rather saw wood.
tried several square dances to please
Agnes, and nearly had my pet corn
tetotally eliminated from my foot. We
were dancing the Virginia Reel, and a
fat woman "reeled" right on my corn.
Wow! wanted to start a new set, a
sort of war dance right there. Went
up to see DR.. Sanford next day, only
to find that the doctor had moved his
office and family to Baldwin. He will
have big practice up there.
have been wanting to get in some
of those mining camps and try my luck
at prospecting, but the wife won't list
en- to it. She is convinced that ranch
ing is better. don't know blooming
thing about ranching, but it is cer-
tainly profitable business. Was talk
ing to S. J. Miller today; he had just
sold 220 head of his cattle to A. Hart
man, and was going back to his old
home in Kansas. Our milkman. Camp
bell, sold his business to r. H. And
rews this week, ]. r. Estes bought 20
head of cattle from Martin Pressler,
and there are a number of other big
deals on hand, that will be pulled of
soon. But then, don't understand the
cattle business. II / succeed in milk
ing our old brindle COW without get
ting the milk in my vest pockets, feel
satisfied. Valentine Zeilinger was in
from Baldwin this week, to make final
proof on likely looking piece of ranch
land up that way.
No stree Tom, if go into anything
it will be mining: hear of some
splendid finds in and around Vulcan
and Ohio City. w. H. Turner was in
town the other day from the Carbon
ate King mine, above Ohio City, and
was showing some fine specimens of
chrystalized lead ore, taken from a
three foot level. The owner, VIM.
Coombs, refused good offer to sell
his interests in that mine. It's a
shame they haven't got wagon road
to the mine. 1t would help the work
of shipping.
Down in the Vulcan camp, Mike Kel-
leher and A. Zeaman are drifting on
the Gold King at depth of fifty feet,
and finding copper ore. believe they
will be rich some day.

itiation the other night, when Frank
Lightley joined the Woodmen. Things
are not so rough now as they were the
time you and rode the goat.

carried out as planned. It was held
in Odd Fellows hall; the music was
