NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-When We
think back to the long. stereotyped
garments that Used to do duty aS
separate wraps, today's models
seem things Of amazing Joy and
beauty and grace. as indeed they
are.
The model Illustrated is Of soft
blue bolivia. embroidered down
the front with blue worsted, then
given an additional fine touch IN
the bands Of beaver that outline
the neck and the long, close, tight.
wristed sleeves.
Note the Irregularities Of this
coat-the fur about the neck, edg.
irg the collar on one side, huggins
the neck on the ether. and the skirt
Of the coat that falls well below
the dress skirt In back, as II its
maker had carelessly neglected To
make It even.
These careless effects are nof
mistakes. On the contrary, they
are important features OF the new
fall modes.

HOW HE BECAME "pussYFoor,

office at Muskogee, Ok, with a
message from a Haskell saloon keep
er, intimating that if / dared show
my face in Haskell, he would shoot
me- said William E. Johnson, once
revenue agent, now an advocate
of worldwide prohibition. 81 could
not refuse such an invitation.
81 learned that the saloon keep
er had never seen me. So one night
| rode into Haskell. | tethered my
horse to his varanda and walking
into the bar called for a drink.

A New York paper says the aver

than the average man. Bud Jones
says the average woman has far
more sense than the average man
but that when a woman is really a
fool she makes the fooeslt man seem
Solomon by comparison.
Few women hold a grudge these
days for they are accustomed to

EPIGRAMS

Most of the mischief in this world
is done by the people who go around
doing good.
The good die because they realize
there isn't much use living if they
have to be good.
1t Is because woman is riddle
that man is so reluctant to give her
up.
No matter how loose an engage
ment ring may be, the diamond never
slips around in the inside of the
lady's finger.
A woman's instinct is that which
tells her she is right whether she
is or not.
The astonishing woman is she who
can conquer the world in a frock
she has made herself.
A man looks at woman because
he wants to; woman at man be-
cause she wants him to look at her.

SYMPHONY RANKED
WITH THE BEST

Declaring that "there are few Or
chestras in the world that can be rank
ed with the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra" and placing it in the same
class with the Thomas orchestra of
Chicago and the Boston Symphony, a
writer in the Outlook discusses the
visit of the Minneapolis organization
to New York and other eastern cities.
He continues, that minneapolis has
a reason to be proud of it's orchestra
and 'sthe eastern cities have to look 70
their laurels." The Outlook says: ~.
"Time was when such music as the
modern orchestra gives could in the
west be heard only at it was given by
an orchestra from the east. 1nestima-
bl service was rendered to the country
by what Theodore Thomas did in his
travels with his orchestra. Now the
eastern cities have to look to their
laurels.
"For example, there are few orches-
tras in the world that can be ranked
with the Minneapolis orchestra. An
orchestra such as this is like an indi-
vidual-it has a soul and body. Its
soul is it's musical qualities; its body
is It's financial support. Emil Ober-
hotter, the conductor of the Mime
apolis Symphony orchestra, is the Gre
ator of its soul; while a group Of pub
lic-spirited men and women of Mime
apois is the creator of its body. Min
neapolis has reason to be proud of
it's orchestra. It belongs in the same
elias with the Bottom Symphony or
chestra and the Thomas orchestra Of
Chicago"
This famous orchestra will be heard
in the Normal Auditorium in two con-
certs on April 10th.

WANTS TO TRADE

There are So many reports about
what is going on in North Dakota that
people are anxious to get at the facts.
Some time ago, Leroy Swartwood, who
is brother-in-law of N. F. Field, Of
Fergus Falls, Mimi, wrote letter
which was published in the Fargo Fo-
rum, and clipped and republished by
the Preston Times. Mr.. SwartWood is
IA prominent farmer Of Swartwood, N.
d. John Nangle, Of Montpelier, N. D.,
an ardent Lacquer, saw the letter and
wrote the following reply which he
sent to the Nonpartisan Leader, which
is Townley's chief organ, where it ap-
peared- under huge. .headlines: -
~. r-.,z Montpelier N: D. ,3,-'T: \;
TO the Editor Of the Leader: Z,
wish to write few lines through
your paper for the benefit of so many
'of my old friends in Minnesota, espec-
tally those who are in sympathy with
the Nonpartisan League.
Recently there came out in the Pres
ton, )Minn.) Times a long TRADE on
the League and its leaders in North
Dakota, purporting to have been writ
ten by one Swartwood, from Swart-
wood, N. D.
l have a brother-in-law living in
Swartwood, and sent him the article
from the Preston Times, together with
letter inquiring. about Mr.. Swart-
'wood. He Immediately answered my
letter, saying Mr.. Swartwood was q
farmer neighbor of his and not bad
sort. He said, however, that Mr..
Swartwood was not responsible for the
article, but had allowed a lawyer from
Bowman to use his name, for which
the lawyer paid him snug sum of
money.
Can you beat it? :
My brother-in-law says poor Mr..
Swartwood has become the joke Of the
neighborhood since the article first
came out in a Bowman kept press or
gan.
Yours for victory in Minnesota next
year.
