OF the boatman's toll Father La.
combe has written: Imagine, If you
please, after resting a few hours on
the bare earth, to hear at 8 o'clock the
cry, Leve! Lever ct puts, hurrah -
to pull and pull on the lines drawing
the heavy boat up against the current,
walking in the mud, the rocks, the
swamp, along cliffs, and sometimes in
water to their armpits-and this under
burning sun or beating rain from
early morning until darkness fell about
8 o'clock. Without having seen 1t one
can form no idea of the hardships,
the cruel fatigues, of these boatmen."

wanted $3.50 per silk umbrella by
actual count last week. The charge
of taking woman's silk umbrella
will probably soon be changed from
petit to grand larceny.
The rise in the price Of silk and
linen handkerchiefs is from 1OOSto
200 per cent, comparison of the
advertisements and interviews with
department store buyers revealed,
The price of jewelry is undoubted-
ly the cause for the numerous elope-
ments. When a couple steals away
about the time most people are pre-
pairing for four or five hours more
of sleep, it does not mean that the
marriage urge came on them sud-
denly. 1t means usually that the
first ring of his she will wear will be
plain gold band.

prosperous lover $500 in 1909, ac-.

Self-supporting lovers might buy
silver, he said, but they had better
hurry. The worlds appetite for
cleaning things are eating it rapidly.
Defes the Supply.
A demand for leather goods defies
the supply. A 200 per cent advance

who added that worse was IN the fu-
ture.
The delicate mauve writing paper
which soon become unmistakably
a part of her, cost in 1909 about 81
for a generous sized box Of it. Two
of Omaha's largest firms dealing in
this paper ask s. for it of the young
men who expect to economize in
their purchases this year. Writing
paper was always refuge from high
prices for gifts, but it cost no longer
