Chicago, Nov. 26.-Liquor interests
are moving into nations of more i2nor-

from a foIr-day session of the inter
national prohibition conference in
Columbus, Ohio.

DEATH OF MRS. WIDEMAN.

Mrs. Statia Bradley Wideman
died Friday, Nov. goth, 1918, after
weary illness of many weeks, at
the home of her ssiter, Mrs. J. C..
Klugh. Mrs. Wideman was the
youngest daughter Of the late Hon.

Wideman Bradley, and was born on
April 10th, 1883, at the old Bradley
home near Troy. She lived for a
year or two in Abbeville and attend
ed the Graded school, where she en-
deared herself to all with whom she
came in contact.
She attended, the Woman's College
at Due West for two years. Some
years ago she was happily married
to DR.. A. H. Wideman, of Milway,
and made his home a bright and
happy one, until his death about a
year ago. DR.. Wideman was in de-
clining health for several years be-
fore his death ant it was her un-
swerving devotion to him which un-
dermined her health.
She came to Abbeville this sum-
mer expecting to spend some time
among her relatives, but was taken
sick and was carried to the hospital
in Chester where she spent many
weary weeks of illness.
Mrs. Wideman was a talented mu-
sician and made those around her
happy with her playing. She was a
young woman of strong character,
an earnest worker in her church, do
ing good always to those in trouble,
and by her happy disposition making
herself beloved by all.
Funeral services were held in the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church Saturday morning at half
past twelve o'clock and were con-
Quoted by Rev. M. R. Plaxco and

sister, Mrs. j. C.. Klugh, and her
brothers, Messrs. w. W. Bradley,
Mark E. Bradley, of Clemson, W. T.

had many bereavements, and for the
sister and brothers.

PLAIN CLOTHES ARE POPULAR
Frocks for Early Spring Are charac-

The more one sees of the frocks for

ICES the plain lines and real simplicity
that characterize the new season and
emphasize more strongly than ever
the true smartness of the simple gown.
Frocks all frilled with many furbe-

amateurs than the more severe mod

that the simpler the effect of a gown,
the more skill has been required to
make 1t.
Whether 1t is a morning frock of

TOPcOATS FAVORED IN PARIS
Necessary for Wear With One
Piece Frocks, Notes Writer.

No doubt topcoats are going to hold
their own this spring. Indeed, Paris ap-
proves the topcoat enthusiastically
even almost to the extent of ignoring
the tailored suit, a fashion authority
states. American women, however, in
sist upon the smart, trim, little coat
and skirt costume for some occasions
and agree with their English cousins
that there are times when only a cor
rect tailor-made will convey the right
impression in costume. The topcoat,
though, will be the backbone of the
spring wardrobe, and of course this is
due to the extreme popularity of one
piece frocks, which everybody Is wear
ing Woodworking, afternoon and eve
ming.
Many of the new coats are long
enough to cover the frock completely ;
others show an inch or two at the hem,
and still others-occasional models
are in three-quarter length. A Worth
coat, just brought over to make part of
an Easter trousseau, exaggerates this
effect, suggesting a %turned-up coat edge
to show the skirt beneath. Worth calls
it a sport coat, but 1t Is really a very
smart travelling coat which will cover,
or partly cover, a going-away gown of
blue-gray mohair and taffeta. The coat
is black and white; rather an unusual
choice for a bride, who usually leaves
black and black and white effects Sc
verely alone, but for some reason OF
other black and white Is a great trous-
seau choice this season and Is regarded
as one of the gay color schemes.

Muskrat a clean Feeder.

People who are prejudiced against
eating muskrats should know, In the
first place, that these animals are not
rats at all, writes Rene Bache in the
Chicago Examiner. They are aquatic
creatures, as big as a small cat, and
feed on clean water plants.
\ Muskrats are found over most of
North America. They build winter
houses of the roots and stems of wa
ter plants, which are usually heaped
on the bottom of a shallow pond until
the domelike top rises two or three
feet above the surface.
For the table they are game worthy
of the epicure, with a flavor somewhat
resembling that of wild duck. BY some
it is likened to the terrapin. The flesh
is dark red in color, fne-grained and
tender.

One of the minor and yet exceeding
~ important articles entering into the
construction of n wooden ship is the
'knee." A ship knee is q r~ight-angled
wooden brace used to give strength to
the framing and is Fashioned from the
natural crook OF a tree formed by a
heavy, shallow, horizontal root and a
section of the trunk. Knees when fin
ished are sometimes as much as six or
seven feet high and many of them are
four feet high. he tremendous impe-
tus to wooden Ahipbuilding brought
about by the wat has resulted in the
establishment of a sawmill at Port
land, Ore, design sd exclusively for the
finishing of ship knees. The timber

that the roots turn off at right angles
to the trunk and thus give the proper
shape. A tract OF timber that will pro-
duce five to SEWN knees per acre Is
considered a good location for a camp.
The standardized wooden ship requires
some two hundred knees of all sizes,
while another type of wooden ship, also
under construction, requires more than
n hundred and sixty knees. In addi-
tion to the produc tion of knees by the

1t struck Grace like a thunderbolt
out of a clear sky. Bill was the only
man she had ever cared for-the only
one she ever could care for, she told
herself; and she no doubt was right,
for she was not the fickle-minded kind.
Two weeks later, after waiting in
vain for a letter, she went to bed, on
the verge of serious illness. The physi-
clan said 1t was nervousness, melan-
choly or dyspepsia. She would be all
right in a short time, he gave assur-
ance. AS a matter of fact, a broken
heart was all that allied her, and for
that there is only one cure-mending
by the breaker.
When Grace grew thinner and lost
her appetite altogether, the physician
admitted he was puzzled and advised
mountain air. Her parents were not
puzzled, they knew just what was
wrong, but agreed that a change Of
climate might be for the best. They
had been overjoyed when Bill left
town, confident that Grace o would
forget him and become interested In
"some nice young nan )" but now that
affairs had taken a critical turn they
would have consented to send Bill the
money to come back, only there was no
clue to his whereabouts.
Mr.. Winton could not afford to leave
his grocery, so his wife packed two
trunks and four ~suitcases and left with
Grace for Sandy Creek, a mining town
high In the Colorado Rockies. Sandy
Greek was selected because Mrs. Win
ton had a brother who had struck q
mine out there and also because the
physician had advised "roughing It,"
One evening, a month later, there
was unusual excitement in Sandy
Creeks Poison Pill saloon. Doctor
Borden, more noted for adeptness at
poker than at medicine, was playing a
"champeen match" with King Spades,
the young gambler who had "blew I'M
recently and became famous over
night by trimming Hank Hummer,
who, next to Borden, had been consid-
cred the most expert card player In
Sandy Greek.

Sometimes the best kind of a girl
will care a whole lot for a man who
doesn't amount to much.
Such a girl was Grace Winton. Such
q young man was Bill Blake. Not much
romantic about those names, you will
say, but-well, they had their little
romance.
1t started when they were In high
school, and 1t continued after Grace
was graduated and Bill was notified
his presence was no longer required
just because he stole the clapper from
the bell, stacked all the students
books In one corner of the assembly
room, beat the physical geography
teacher so that he was obliged to spend
three days In bed and performed sun
dry other FRANKS not included In the
school curriculum.
Upon graduation Grace took up
teaching music and upon quitation
Bill took up playing pool. While he
was able, because of his skill, to keep
himself clothed and fed, his business
vas not such as to warrant a venture
in matrimony; and, moreover, Grace's
parents objected ~strenuously to having
their daughter marry a man who didn't
even pretend to work and was a shift
less good-for-nothing."
However, Grace managed to see Bill
occasionally and they continued to plan
what would happen when he made
good" This couldn't last long, because
Ellsworth\w was a small town and soon
Grace's friends began to sheer at her
for encouraging a man who didn't
have n job and didn't want one."
Now Bill, despite his shortcomings,
had a good deal of affection for Grace,
and when he heard some of this talk
he took an inventory of himself, look
ed the future squarely In the face, and
decided Grace was too good for him.
Shortly thereafter he boarded a train
and vanished, leaving a note in the
post office for Grace. The note said:
"Good-by. Grace. I'm leaving for
