brought forward In their stead. The
local pressure was so great that he
carried the nomination over Mr.. Sew

vember, 1850.
The result of the election was tre-
mendous. Nearly all the southern
states seeded from the Union before
the new president was inaugurated.
Then came the attack ON Fort Sum-
ter and the terrible Civil war, which
for four long years devastated the
southern states of the Union. LincOln's s
tact and service during these four
years are too well known to be re-

At the expiration of his term of

Lincoln Eccentric About Beard.

In the matter of boards, as in every
an open mind. He was not above
liking change for his own sake, monot-
ony wearying him.
In 1853 Lincoln wore beard.
In 1857 and 1858 he was beardless.
During the debate with Douglas he
was growing beard.
The day after his first nomination
the beard was gone.
Portraits of 1861, 1863, and 1864
show the full beard, but before 1864
was ended the Lincoln face was
smooth again. The last portrait
made on April 9, 1865, shows the fair
beginning of a beard.

years the designation of 1.-THE rail-

thus employed he picked up a little

STYLE HINT WHISPERINGS
FROM THE SHOPS

The prices are on the downward
path and how we rejoice, for, what
does it mean, that we may make just
so many more additions to our ward
robe.
This week there will be remarkable
sales, such values and charming
styles. Models of charming suitable
ity for dress and school are found in
the departments for young girls and
every mother will be as enthusiastic
over the values as the girls will be
over the styles, when they see the
many models. They come mostly in
serge and velvet in eton, Russian
blouse, straight plated and other
regulation dresses. They have trim
mings of patent leather motif, wool
and silk embroidery, silk plating and
stitching. The beautiful colorful Ro-
man stripe or cord girdles, patent
leather of self belts add to the charm
of the dresses. Some are found with
two tone effect or with contrasting
adornment which does enhance their
youthfulness. One model has a pom
gee blouse, could anything be pref
tier? There are collarless styles and
many have the organdie or pique col
lars to go with these frocks; we must
have serviceable winter coat, one
of all wool mixture, may be. found
that will appeal to the heart of any
young girl; it has an inverted back
plat, patch pockets, belt and button
trimming. These are full lined and
interlined. The Junior coats of all
wool polo colth are elaborated with
stitching, patch pockets and large
buttons. The new velvet suits charm
the eye and may be worn at any age.
Made of velvet to comply with the
mandate of fashion, they are smartly
tailored with lavish use of fur which
insures becomingness. Cord tucked
inset bands, sateen applique motif
with embroidery, panel, tier or plain
skirts are seen on box or belted mod
els. The fur collars or mole, beaver,
opossum or skunk are an attractive
addition, also the fur pockets and an
other band of fur around the coat.

Warns Housewives
Against Use Of Canning
Compounds

The United States Department of
Agriculture warns housewives against
the use of any preservative powder
or canning compound in home can
ming. Their use encourages careless
and uncleanly work, and in large
amounts they may have serious eff
fects upon digestion and health. 1t
is entirely practicable to put up
fruits and vegetables so that they
will keep indefinitely by processing
the products with heat. There is no
reason for risk by the use Of can
ming powders.
Boric or salicylic acid is the basis
of most canning compounds on the
market today. The directions on the
packages usually call of one tea
spoon of the compound to each
quart Of fruit or vegetable. The use
of boric and salicylic acid, since they
may be harmful to health, is regard
ed by the Department Of Agriculture
as a violation of the Federal Food
and Drugs Act. The laws of many
States also prohibit the sale of foods
containing boric or salicylic acid.

Grow Friendly
Parasites to Help
Combat Bagworm

Friendly parasites which will help
farmers combat the bagworm, pest
injurious to shade trees, hedges and
lawns are being cultivated by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which has issued bulletin tell
ing of the pest and how to fight it.
THE bagworm gets it's name from
its curious habit Of crawling about on
the infested trees and lawns in bag
like case, in the shelter of which 1t
undergoes all it's transformations.
When the pest has finished its work
it leaves the bag attached to its vic
tins to tell of its ravages.
The bagworm is more limited in
territory than the tussock moth and
fall webworm, which it somewhat re-
sembles in its activities, but in States
south of New York it has given a
good deal of trouble.
There are a number of parasites
which make life difficult for the bag
worn, and the department has de-
veloped methods Of encouraging these
parasites by gathering up large clus-
ters Of growth infested with bag
worms and placing them in barrels,
with foundation stock of parasites.
Holes are left for the parasites to
escape when they have reached the
proper stage.

Husband and Wife

The British Government does not
intend to allow the new jury system
to become the jest of the humorist
by allowing the possibility of family
jars in the jury box.
They have issued set of rules for
the guidance of the Court officials,
among which is the following:
Husband and wife shall not both
be summoned to serve on a jury on
the same occasion"
Another rule provides that the wo-
men on a panel of jurors shall be
in the same proportion to the men as
the total number of women on the
jurors books is to the total number
of men.

Cigars and Character

According to an enterprising Amer
lean scientist mans character can
now be told from the way he smokes
cigars.
The man who smokes is easily
recognized. His lips will show it,
without his speaking. He who fixes
his cigar deeply in his mouth is of a
nature resolute, skeptical and alb
rupt; one who bites off the end Of
his cigar is careless, thoughtless or
listless.
When the cutter is used to nip off
the end, the smoker may be con-
sidered a man Of caution. The user
of the amber holder is a delicate per-
son. The man who smokes his cigar
to the end is a faithful friend, con-
slant husband and of persevering
nature.
If one is in the habit Of throwing
away the cigar when only half
smoked, he is in danger Of being con-
sidered tickle, blase and trifier.

Chinese Politeness

Confucius said, "If you do not learn
the rules of propriety, your character
can not be established"
Unfortunately for the foreigner in
China, the rules, of propriety," &C.
cording to Chinese usage, are often
Numerically, opposed to the customs
of the Occident. The European or
American gentleman, even if he has
a university education and polished
manners, seems a mere boor to the
Chinese, and ogends at every turn
against the strict etiquette that, in
it's main points, is observed by the
lowest coolie.
Wherever he goes, 1t appears, the
foreigner helps to confirm this opin-
ion of him. He is travelling in the
interior, it may be on horeback, and
he rides through the quiet country
hamlets as he would at home, at a
rapid pace. AS he passes group of
men, he calls out, (Which is the way
to such-and-such place."
He probably gets no reply, and
rides on, thinking what unmannerly
beings these Chinese yokels are.
A rough, uneducated countryman is
the next traveller.
He pulls in his horse to a slow
amble as he enters the village; this
is one of the rules of propriety."
On reaching the group Of villagers,
he dismounts-rule number two.
MAY I borrow your light?" he
asks. This is an apology for trou-
bling them-rule number three. Then
he, too, asks the way to such-and-such
a place, and receives ready help; if
need be, a man will even accompany
him to point out the way. There
after these same yokels not unnatur-
ally remark to one another what I'M
mannerly beings foreigners are, igno-
rant of the most elementary rules Of
propriety.

No Pussyfooting

"You talk like man-why walk
like a thief" asks John Van Heusen,
of Jamaica Plain, Mass. He answers
the question himself by inventing a
rubber heel which makes a noise as
it strikes the ground and which does
not slip. In a word, he combines the
resiliency of rubber with the sturdy
noise of leather. .....
To attain his object Mr.. Van Heus-
en- sinks into the rubebr heel, near
it's outer edge, piece of steel, which,
when it strikes the ground, relieves
the wearer at once of the charge of
"pussyfooting."

FASHION NOTES
Interesting Items for the Fair Sex
EMBROIDERY ON
N
EVENING FRocK


The favorite embroidery on evening
dresses of tulle or ninon reminds one
of stalactites, being carried out very
cleverly in darned floss silk or in
beads, the stalactites being in all diff
ferent lengths and worked closely
round the hips, reaching to about half
way down the jupe. Sometimes they
commence again at the hem, only
reaching upward instead of downward.
Pale orchid mauve embroidery on a
bon bon pink tulle gown, represented
one of these, while in the case of an
other the scheme was tiny steel beads
on a midnight blue ninon over steel
colored charmeuse, and yet a third
had silver stalactites on soft dusky
grey tulle.
A splash of vivid color Is often in
troduced into the gown by means of
the sash, which promises to be very
useful item this winter. But we may
wear our sashes in many different
ways, no stereotyped scheme being
designed by the couturieres. In many
instances the sash is simply big soft
bow Of tulle on the left hip with long
ends falling to the hem.
PaiIettes Again
Pailettes are going to be high in
favor, too, pailettes shot or self col
ored, large or small, steel, silver or
gold, and in every shape as we'll. 1t
is molly natural that with our fancy
for Oriental effects we shall welcome
the assistance of the palette to help
produce many of the gorgeous Eastern
schemes which are to transform us
all. There is, besides, nothing very
much more becoming, and the woman
who owns a cleaning palette gown
can be certain of achieving a "full
dress" appearance whenever she
wears it.
PETAL FRocKs
There are charming petal frocks,
too, in process of construction which
look as though someone had taken a
branch of white or pink full-blown
roses and shaken it violently over a
tulle gown until every waxen petal
had dropped from it and found rest
ing place on the delicate fabric in
stead. These are, of course. the
"young girls frocks and belong to
the late teens or to the early twen-
ties, and such gowns have no trains,
but are fashioned with round and
rather full skirts.
