Lucky to Get Dime
From the Washington Star.

: 7
Bishop Wilberforce of Omaha said re-
Gently In Y. M. C. A. address: "Too
many of the stories about the boyhood
o. our nultimillionaires are just stories
of selfishness and meanness, taking ad-
vantage of others generosity-the sand
which, yarn, in fact:
"A hungry traveller put his head out
of a car window as his train pulled VI
at a small station, and said to boy
Here. boy, take this dime and get
me sandwich, will you. And, by the
way, here's another dime. Get a sand
which for yourself, too.'
Thanks. boss-and the boy darted
away. He returned, muching a big, fine
sandwich. just as the train was starting
off. He ran to the traveller, handed him
dime and said:
Here's yer dime back, boss. They
only had one sandwich left"

lty which it would be up to Profess
sor Henry Fairfield Osborne to ex-
plain. between all Indian designing
ancient and modern.
AGAIN THE CHEMISE FROCK
Evidently. Paris has no intention Of
letting go the long. primitive tunic as
a first feature of fashion. She ex-
ploits 1t this August with and without
sleeves, preferring the latter shape.
There is again the Chinese touch in
the majority of TUNES which have
sleeves given by the severity of out
line, the laxity at the waistline and
the bold designing that is somewhere
attached to the surface
Whatever the tunfc. it is used over
an exceedingly narrow slip of an
other material. Some of the houses
cling to a continuity of color from
neck to hem. others. like Lauvin
and her type of colorist, play in a
dexterious manner with the combina-
ton of colors by adding a slip of one
thing. tunic of another and an en-
broidery which combines the two col
ors or, ignoring them entirely, goes
off on a tangent of it's own and sim
ply submits to harmony.
HIGH CROWNS, SAY MILLINERS
1t was much less simple TASK Iof
the hatmakers of France to incorpor-
ate United States army fashion fea-
lures than for the dressmakers to do
1T. The rough rider crown attracted
instant attention all over Paris, shar-
ing the honors with the mud colored
flannel shirt open at the neck, which
is new touch in European uniforms.
The city of Paris has presented a
kaleidoscope commingling of uni
forms for two years, for every allied
soldier on leave gets his touch Of
Paris. Even the little midinette In
that city knows the distinctive fea-
lures of the uniform of every impor-
tant country in the world, and the
coming of the American soldiers gave
another touch to her collection.
The hat and shirt were the things
that caught the popular fancy and
instantly the milliners saws to 1t that
the hat was used by them. It's high
crown contributed to the fashion of
the hour. as the milliners have de-
creed it. but with the high crown a
number of artistic milliners have per-
mitted a sweeping, graceful brim.
The one hat that seems to be ig-
nored by Paris this season Is the kind
America wore last summer and au-
tumn-a very wide crown and a low
brim.

costumery for two years, and this ex-
hibition in Madrid clinched the stu
alton.
T In exactly what manner the Spanish
costumery of several centuries will be
reflected in the new FrNnch clothes,
We're not yet quite sure, but the i'm
mense ruffs and elongated cuffs OF
white organdy and muslin which have
appeared on new bodices indicate that
the portraits Of Philip " and his con
temporaries have already given inspir-
alton.
A TOUCH OF CHINESE
Whenever we think OF the Chinese
silhouette we begin first with the
row hem and the slim but loose line
above the waist.
Now. this. is the Silhouette which
France has launched. A few of the
great designers sent word that the
new idea of the silhouette Is taken
from the Chinese, but others saw it
is return to the far east 1t is,
however. more Chinese than eastern
In the fact that it's hem is straight.
round and narrow.
The ordinary Chinese features in
dress have been seen in America for
a year. and this continent is in a re-
ceptive mood to receive the Chinese
silhouette. Anyone who does not real
lie how Picking has influenced New
York should go to the theatres, where
Chinese girls, in native costume, serve
as ushers and where one act is sure
to be devoted to a Chinese episode
One of the best known model
houses has it's entire salons done in
faint blues and grays, and the Wis
itors are received by a small girl in
the brilliant Chinese costumes that one
sees on a piece of lacquer.

WHEN MOTHER GOT ACTIVE
One Guess as to What Happened to
Phoebe After Her Extremely
Personal Question.

Phoebe was bored. In all the six
long years of her life she had never
spent such miserable day. Circum-
stances at last grew too strong for
her, and she cried She was one of
those who do not often cry, but who,
when they do, make no secfet of it. In
short, Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery
ceiling off.
Upstairs came PhOebe's mother al
ready dressed in her smartest clothes
ready to have tea with a friend.
"Why, what's the matter, PhOebeY
she asked.
Phoebe, standing hOpelessly in the
middle of the nursery, only hOwled
the louder, and refused to see any
thing cheerful about life.
Lifting the unhappy child up in her
arms and cuddling the tear-stained lit
tie face against her own, the mother
walked over to the looking glass. d,
Just look, Phoebe, at that ugly lit
tie face in the looking-glass ~
Phoebe Immediately became inter
ested and stopped crying.

KEYSTONE DRAINAGE
DISTRICT IN PERIL
EXISTENCE THREATENED BY
BILL NOW PENDING IN ARKAN.
SAS LEGISLATURE.
OPPOSITION IN CRAIGHEAD
Some Misunderstanding Has Arisen
Concerning Location of Floodway
Channel Which viii End in ST.
Francis River Sunk Lands.

OsceOla.-
Commissioners and advocates of
the keystone Drainage District, de-
signed to reclaim 2SO,OOO acres Of land
in Mississippi, Craighead and Poin-
sett counties, fear for the success Of
the improvement. Already one bill
which threatened to abolish the dis
trict has been killed in the Arkansas
Legislature, but another has been in
troduced.
A. G. Lange, chairman of the board
of commissioners, believes the chief
opposition to the Keystone district is
from Craighead county, where a mis-
understanding of the plans has arisen.
1t is generally believed in that local
ity that the drainage water from the
lands in Drainage District No. OF
Cfaighead county will be held back
by the foodway of the Keystone dis
trict. This is not the case, according
to the engineers. An outlet canal S5
feet wide on the bottom, 105 feet wide
on top, and 10 feet deep will carry the
water from all the lands to the north
and west Of the canal to a natural
outlet in St Francis River. This ca.
nal will provide a better outlet than
the bitches now under construction in
District No. 8, its designers believe
Some misunderstanding has also
arisen concerning the location Of the
floodway channel Of the keystone dis
trict, which will end in the st. Francis
River sunk lands east OF the Hatchie
Coon Island.
Exhaustive surveys convinced the
authorities that it was impracticable,
on account Of engineering difficulties,
to carry the foodway southwesterly
along Right Hand Chute, as desired.
An effort was made, it is stated by
those interested to meet and discuss
the final location with the commiss-
toner's Of Drainage District No. 8, Of
Craighead County, looking toward the
continuation of the north levee Of the
floodway southwesterly five or six
miles, so that the floOdwater would be
discharged in what is known as Lead
Fork, instead Of opposite Hatchie

Washington. Borlin's formal an
nouncement that the time has expired
for all exceptions in the campaign Of
ruthlessness, turned attention here to
the questions which confront the
American government in whatever
next steps may be taken to meet the
situation.
President Wilson abandoned his
usual morning game of golf and re-
manned at work in his study In the
afternoon the cabinet met and went
over the situation.
Among the questions now being
carefully considered are:
The proposed conference Of neutrals
TO outline the rights of the nations
not engaged in the war. This has not
taken definite form and its exact stat
us has not been divulged neyerthe-
less it is known the idea has not been
abandoned
Loaning guns for the arming Of
American merchant ships The pre-
ponderance Of opinion among officials
who have advised the president on this
point favors having the navy furnish
the guns.
Action on Austria's situation in the
new campaign. The ambassador
Count Tarnowski, still is waiting to
present his credentials.
A reply to Mexico's suggestions for
embargoes on food and ammunition to
the belligerents
Any or all Of these questions are
expected to be decided in the near
future.
While il was reiterated that the
president would not be rushed into
war, it was plain that all officials ex-
pected that the much feared overt act
might come at any time.
