BoWser Gets His Dander Up.

Temper's rising very fast
Bow, wow, WOW. WOW, WOW, wow, wow!
When he's this way just watch out;
He don't know what he's about!
Bow. wow. wow, wow. WOW. WOW. wow!
Jerry Muskrat had SO surprised Bow
ser by the suddenness with which he
had turned and offered to fight that he
had bluffed iBowser for the first time.
He actually had made Bowser afraid of
him. You see, Bowser hadn't been
looking for anything like that and
when Jerry had jumped at him and
bitten him on the tenderest part of his
nose Bowser had been SO astonished
that he had turned tail. scrambled Nup
out OF the ditch in which Jerry was,
and then been content to dance along
on the bank. barking excitedly, while
Jerry ran when he could and swan
where the water was deep enough as
he hurried toward the Smiling Pool.
Now. Bowser's temper is slow to rise.
1t takes him a long time to get his
dander up You know what that
means. OF course you do. It means to
become angry. But when Bowser does
get his dander up. why, then watch out!
Something is likely to happen. At first
Bowser had been startled by Jerry's
sudden attack and for the time being
actually had been afraid of Jerry. But
little by little it became clear to him
how absurd it was for great big fell
low such as he was to be afraid of a
little fellow like Jerry Muskrat. The

should commend it to the home dress
maker. It may be developed with equal

For first choice one Of the soft twilled
such as serge, gabardine or

heard new note creep into Bowsers
voice as he barked from the bank
above, a note that made him hurry
little faster, though he had thought he
was hurrying as fast as he could. At
first Bowser's barking had been excite
ment and nothing else. Now 1t was
turning from excitement to anger. In
fact. It was almost all anger. jerry
got his dander up and that presently
he would be down in that ditch again
after him. And he didn't need to be
told that next time he would not be
able to blum Bowser. Bowser would
not turn tail again.
So Jerry did his best to reach the
Smiling Pool before Bowaer should try
again to catch him. But the Smiling
Pool was long way ON and the angry
note in Bowser's voice grew deeper.
How Jerry did wish that he could find
a hole in the bank of that ditch in
which he could hide. But there were no
holes and all he could do was to run
and swim and swim and run. And he
tried to hope, but this was even harder
work than running and swimming.
At last what he feared happened.
with q splash Bowser landed in the
ditch once more. Luckily for Jerry the
ditch was narrow and Bowser couldn't

for Jerry and he had no difficulty in

or Interest to II omen
TAFFETA IS POPULAR IN MILLINERY

They seem to have no individuality. for
they can melt themselves into what.
ever il ordained as fashionable ana
become the symbol Of It In the ewi ho
will be able to wear the straight. Sc
we're, harsh sailor hat.
All Milliners Indorse It.
There is no doubt that the milliners
want to sell this hat with the straight
brim, for they offer 1t to every one VINO
comes into the shop; They pro si,nn
phrase that upsets even the sturdlest
mind bent upon getting something pc.
coming and desirable, whether or NOT
1t is marked with the tag Of the latest
fashion.
After trip through the salons OF
many milliners. one begins to feel tnat
the hat with the dipping brim, the r.
regular line and the becoming shadoW
over the face is a trif1e out of the PIC
ture.
One gets this same impression con-
corning skirts after going TO the smart
dressmaking places and shops. Inere
may have been some strong determine
ton to go on wearing full skirt, or
downward. but this determination
melts into weakness and finally yields
into acceptance of the skirt that Keeps
its seams in a straight and narrow
cath.
Taffeta softens the Shape.
To disguise the severity Of these new
railor hats. the milliners use taffeta,
which in itself Is not a softening ma,
eeriaL but far better than plated
straw. Over the taffeta they put
splashes of embroidery, sometimes In
color, in order to enliven the effect.
The sailor which the Maison Lewis
Of Paris has sent over to America. and
which has been accepted by the mil
liners as a leading hat. is shown in
this sketch.
1t is built of biscuit-colored taffeta
heavily embroidered in a bold design
of biscuit silk. The brim is faced with
black straw as a measure of protec-
ton to the eyes; for biscuit color Is
not kind when placed directly against
the skin. At the base of the crown
there is a ribbon Of taffeta tied in a
fiat bow at the back. and just here the
milliner takes all manner of liberties
in order that she may make this hat
more beguiling.
For instance, she substitutes copen-
hagen blue ribbon for the biscuit color.
she puts a splash of artillery red, or
she uses dull gold edged with black.

FOOD NOT UNIFORM
 ON GERMAN FRONT

With the British American Armies in the Field, October 26.-German sol diers on the British sector of the west ern front evidently were not as well of in the matter of food as their brothers who fought on the French and American sectors. The correspondent of the Associated Press found at Val enciennes, for example, that the sol- diers' food consisted largely of black
 bread, pork fat and raw turnips. In the St. Mihiel section, on the other hand, the Germans had biscuits made of white flour. compressed beef, butter and cheese A part of these rations had come from Russia, having been sent originally to that country for the Rus sia army by the United States. In the French sector, from Rheims to verrlun, the food generally of the German forces was of better grade and greater in quantity than that of the men fighting in the north

 This is written that the good white people of this city and vicinity may be informed on matter of which the writer is quite sure they tro not know, or steps would be taken to stop the practice. The work or fight" idea that has been prevailing for sometime has become q license for some officers of this city and county to prosecute poor negro girls and wonten u,imerci- fully. The writer is quite Sure that Sheriff Batsor nor Chief Sherley would sanction the way these humble people are treated ty some of the men work ing under them. Gases where strangers come to town and girls going along the streets are snatciled up and thrown Into Big Rock" jail are common oc- currence. No" explanation they can give is sufficient to stop these officers so anxious are they to throw then. in jail It seems that their only object is to have these defensc1ess people but under heavy bonds that the profes. sional bondsnen might reap substan- tial harvest. Those to whose attention this matter has been called are loud in tlleir praise of Judge Abcrnathy, who has dismissed many of these charges that come before his court Usually these weak aid. poor women and girls have no means of defending themselves. not able to secure lawyer or get to their friends. they are thrown in jail with criniinals, not knowing what charges arc against them, and they are too soon rushed to trial heavy fines and imprisonments Such persecution of negro women are caus- ing hundreds to leave here and 20 north It is also being talked very generally among these humble people that this practice IS dcne for no otlies purpose but to. run them away from this place.
