There is a high culyert two and a
half miles northwest Of Aberdeen.
w. F. Bergman discovered it, and
he knows the exact location now, but
it cost him a bunch of money to get
the information.
This little structure is peculiar,
but not more peculiar than scores
of others in the county. Its pc
tcualiarity is that it is not what 1t
seems. At first glance a driver
thinks it is in the road for the pur-
pose OF aiding travel, but before he
has time to change his mind he is
on top of it and over it and stopped
and he finds that his head is sore
and a car spring broken-loss twenty
copeks plus the annoyance. Moth
ing figured for his head hitting the
roof of the car, because that will all
heal again. He looked at the cul-
vert again and names it Handicap
Mr.. Bergman has not been able to
figure the loss on his castings that
are bruised from the blow, nor the
loss on his caisson and the tarque-
arm from the strain. That will come
along in the invisible, creeping,
steady depreciation or whatever they
call it that marks the change from
a good car to an old one. The change
is imperceptible, just like a little
pig changes into hog, but the
change is there, and it is expressed
in the word depreciation in cars or
growth in pigs. The big end Of de-
probation on cars in this county is
due to high culverts, or shoulders
on bridges, and to holes and humps
in the road. After casing gets
bruised or hacked enough SO the sand
and dust can get in between the coats
or ply or between the casing and
the tube, then the whole thing goes
to pieces rapidly. Castings get
bruised and hacked by striking tim
bers at bridges and by striking
stumps in the road like we have had
for several years at the Taylor cor
ner between Blackfoot and Snake
river bridge. There are three posts
in the road there, opposite the &C.
ment block house, and they always
stick up about two or three inches

general to the lady asking for infor.

The important thing in military cen.
sorship is to know just where and
when to draw the line. In our Civil
war the colonel Of a Pennsylvania reg.
iment went to Secretary Stanton to
ask for pass for an old man to visit
his dying son after a battle. The pass
was grufay refused. Whereupon the

AN OLD DAILY FAILS

The Mason City Times, published
at Mason City, Iowa, has gone out Of
existence, after being published as
a daily for thirty-five years. It's
competitor, the Globe Gazette, took
its equipment, and at the same time
sold out it's own job department to
the LIE Mars Printing company that
was doing business in the town. The
Globe Gazette was founded in 1888,
and only thru buying out the wreck
of its competitor at a period when
the government will not allow any
new paper to be established, could 1t
insure its own business existence and
prosperity.
It should now be able to develop
rapidly into great modern daily,
giving the people of that county such
news service as they never have
had.

U2heralded Heroes of The War

Are there any French in the neigh borhood? Where are they? How many?'' were the questions hurled at the boy by the German officers. But the boy steatdfastly refused to answer. The Germans threatened, but the lad stood firm and would give them no information.
 Finally the column was ordered for ward It had gone but 50 yards when it was met by hot fire from a de- tachment of French troops concealed in the forest.
 After a short engagement the French scouting party was dispersed and the boy was marched bef~re the GercHn commanding officer. Ihe lit tie prisoner was asked, in French, whether he had known of the pres ence of the French in the forest and he again refused to answer. Then the German commandant began to threaten this little boy.
 He vowed that he would chastise the lad if he didn't answer, but the boy stood firm and held his tongue. The German officer hurled the threat of Imprisonment at the young cap
 
 true and the boy still refused to speak. Then the officer pictured to him the horror of the firing squad and vowed that if he refused to deny that he had known of the presence of the French force in the forest, ne would be stood up and shot. But the boy only smiled---refusing to divulge that he had known anything of the whereabouts of the French. Then came the awful order:
 Take him out and shoot him!"
 Still tho little hero smiled and held ] his tongue.
 Let us allow the German who wit messed the scene and who recorded what took place in his letter, to tel in his own words what followed:
 'He went with a firm step to a tel egraph post and stood up against it. with a green vineyard behind him and received the volley of the firing party with proud smile on his face.
 Infatuated boy! It was a pity tc see such wasted coura age."

INSOMNIA CURE

Here is an excellent cure given for insomnia. Have plenty of fresh air in your bedroom and then stretch out on the bed with your arms at your sides. Keeping in this tense position raise your right hand and close your right nostril. Fill the lungs as full as possible through the left nostril, count three and then expel the air. Return the right hand to the side and relax all muscles while you count 15.
 Then go through the same perform tance with the left hand. Do this five times with each hand, increasing to 10 times as you get accurtomed to it. Practice deep breathing constantly. Take deep inhalattons with the mouth closed, retain the breath for few seconds and exhale through the mouth and you will feel the flattening effects on the stomach.

Diary of a Fashion Model
By GRACE TKORNCLIFFE

more body. and richness to the plai. scant, fall suit.
 Braid is to be used not only as an edging for coats, in military fashion, but in many other ways. Collars Of braid, both upstanding and fiat, cuffs of braid and sashes and belts of braid instead of cloth ones will be used ex- tensiveIy.
 The model here shown is an excel- lent illustration of this new fashion.
 It is of tobacco brown velveteen, cleverly blended with black. The skirt, as is shown is scant almost to thet point of clinging to the figure. But this narrowness is made very charming by the decorative effect of the braid band at the bottom. Sim larly, this braid trimming is repeated at cuff and collar.
 The sailor collar, fastening to one side, is of braid and gives a wide sweep to the otherwise narrow shpul- der line. The coat is cut straight and falls in graceful folds from the end of collar to the round sweep below the waistline.
 The sleeves are quite full and are finished with an edging of braid somewhat narrower than that used on the bottom of the skirt.
 A charming touch is given this | comparatively simple little suit by the use of an unusual type of belt. This proceeds from the inside of the coat, and gives rather "dressy" touch to the costume by virtue of the material used---blaclz moire ribbon. Great care must be used in the choice of the right shade of brown. The greenish browns or the gray browns cannot be made to harmonize with black. There is too much of a 1 clash between the light browns and black. Similarly, the peculiar browns that seem to have a gray tone are too dull to be combined with black. How ever, the rich tobacco brown that has a golden tint can be combined with black with excellent results. But watch your shades carefully, and
 choose them in natural, not an arti- ficial light.

KATHERINE THEOT

Katherine Theot was born at Bar anton, France, in 1725. At an early age she went to Paris, working as servant in various establishments. In 1779 she discovered that she possess ed the gift of seeing visions and of prophecy. She began to publish her reveries, calling herself ''The Sec ond Eve" "The Mother of God" and finally the Messiah who was to re- generate for human race. She was imprisoned in the Bastille, where she remained for several months. In 1794, having made a convert of Dom Gerle, a priest, and member of the constituent assembly man of learn ing and merit, but whose mind had been affected by his austerities and solitary life, she again proclaimed herself the Mother Of God, and prom ised eternal life to her adherents, from whom she received homage due only to God himself. She was again arrested, together with Dom Gerle, and tried before the convention. Be- ing protected by Robespierre, she and all her followers were acquitted She died five weeks after her trial.

VARIETY OF COLLARS

Although the tucked bosom with pointed roll that hugs the back of the neck continues a favorite style, there are a number of shirts made like a mans soft collar style.- the band slightly higher and fastening with three buttons, finished so that 1t oGn be worn low as we'll Still others have detachable turnover col lars, pointed at front. Most of the cuffs are of the turnback. link variety.
 There is one model with small col lar that fastens at the throat by a single button. a compromise between high and low.

FETE OF MARGUERITE MARIE.

The fete of the Blessed Marguerite Marie will be celebrated in Paris to- day in the Church of the Sacre Occur on Montmartre which was completed only a few years ago, but which real ized a pious project which had it's The cornerstone of the sacred edifice Thee ornerstone of the sacred edifice was laid 43 years ago today, in the presence of thousands of Roman Catholics gathered from all over France, and the church is still incom- plete although it has already cost over $8,0OO,O0O
 Marguerite Marie, whose fete is celebrated today, was a native of Bur gundy, and lived in the seventeenth century, Like Joan of Arc, she saw visions, and it is said that Jesus ap- peared to her on many occasions, al- ways displaying His sacred heart. In 1875 Marguerite received a revelation that she, in cooperation with Father de la Colombiere, of the Society of Jesus, was to institute the feast of the Sacred Heart, and to spread that de- votion throughout the world In another revelation she was command ed to have built a church dedicated to the Sacred Heart on the summit of the hill of Montmartre in Paris, the site of the martyrdom of St. Denis, the patron saint of France
 Louis XVI. was persuaded to erect the church on Montmartre, but before the plans of the architect were com p1eted the king was led away to the scaffold. Napoleon then considered the project, but dropped it.
 It was not until after the downfall of the second empire that French Catholics again took up the enter prise. In 1875 the first stone was laid. Cities and towns throughout France contributed to the building of the church. Practically every stone bears the name of a village, community ar | individual donor. Canada contribrt- ed an altar to St. John the Baptist and Ireland's offering was an altar to 1 St. Patrick.

Braid has a variety of uses, and it will be much in evidence on some fashionable costumes. For braid is used not only in trimming; it can be used in such a way that it saves cloth, or camouf1ages the lack of it. And when we remember that the chief fun n~tion of the designers this fall is to create beautiful modes that will consume the minimum of mate rial we can appreciate low helpful Can be certain varieties of trimming.

Of course, fur takes the lead as the substitute for cloth.
