There Is rumor that France and

ribbon has been worked up In Paris

however, be able to indulge in such
good management If she throws EN-
broldery out Of fashion and substitutes
ribbon.
America is not the land OF embroid-
cry, and she does not possess skilled
workers. Wherever 1t is done, the
work Is expensive. Therefore our dress
makers and shopkeepers do not want
embroidery to stay In STYLE and our
mills would like ribbon to be used by
the mile, instead Of the yard.
The Americans say that this latter
will be done before the spring is over,

quite marvellous ribbons copied from
antique designs, usually with garlandS

consolidation work.
Three principal obstacles remain

the draft board and they have been
turned over to the officials at Fort

ard and Andrew Jackson. Leonard
is a white man, the other three
colored. Two others, taken into Gus

The military regulations hold that
a man who fails to report to his local
board for military service at the time
specified in his order to report is
dcserter. A reward of $50 is offered
for the delivery at the nearest army
camp or post of deserter. Sheriff
Fields will, therefore, be entitled to
5000 for the quartette he bagged and
the local police S100 for the two men
they secured.
Violation of Uncle Sans military
laws is just little risky, to say the
least.
