ANDREW AND lM0GENE
By ROE FULKERs SON

Imogene came into the room and revo1ved like teetotam before her husband She had a new fall suit of autumnal brown; here and there showed touches of red on the pockets and at the cuffs. On her head was a neat close fitting hat made almost entirely of pheasants breast, through the iridescence of which showed the same brown, red and orange tints which made up the dress. Like it2' she asked him.
 The very prettiest autumn outfit you ever had he said earnestly but sadly
 well. why weep over it?' she laughed looking at his lugubrious countenance.
 If am pretty, kiy me, don't cry about me-"
 Well" laughed Andrew q guess I might as well tell you the truth That look in my face which you took for sadness was nothing in the world but envy. I was just sore because l could not wear green, yellow, orange and red. love those colors better than any. The various colors which get into a maple leaf are the ones which make me happiest, and if I had my wey about it I would dress in these colors. l would like to have pair of yellow trousers, an orange vest a red necktie and Nile green coat.
 Just suppose for a minute you were man and were limited to the somber grays. blues and blacks which men wear and yet in your heart you wanted an outfit which would re- !. 11 f,I> l.. the middle by a bolt of sheet light ming. I tell you it is real tragedy
 There is one garment which all my life I have wanted. It Is a Mackinaw jacket such as I once saw on some woodman who came into Sag inaw, Mich. They wear them in the woods when they are logging in the winter time. l know I saw one in particular on big man with red whiskers. I never wanted anything so badly in my life"
 Why you can buy those in the store" interrupted Imogene. Men wear them in automobiles and for golf and for all sorts of out door sports"
 | Pooh" said Andrew waving his hand, They are poor little denatured, | deodorized, drab things compared | with the real ones men wear in the woods
 Why this one that the red whis- kered man had looked like Fourth of July pinwheei which had been lit I at both ends. The color scheme was | taken from a yellow cat having a spasm in blue granite kettle Of stewed tomatoes, and the designer had gotten it all in. even to the squeals of the cat and the rattle of the kettle"
 That's the sort of clothes l want to wear or else l want to tie a sash around my waist and wear big pur- pie hat with a big plume in 1t and sing and dance to mandolin with q bunch of ribbons which look like drummers samples tied around the neck of the instrument
 T want to he a splash of color on the horizon. I want to wear comic of clothes which looks like Sousa's place where man is dumping two ton truck of coal. I want a suit of clothes which looks like. democratic torchlight procession passiHg the headquarters of a republican clubS want to be a sartorial summer sum set and Baltimore oriole in plumage. don't se why l am not allowed To wear the same. colored clothes that you do and. D"
 Andrew" demanded Imogene, look ing at him sharply '"Have you or- dered new fall suit?" Yes, dear" he answered. But nave no fear; it was a simple grey"

GRAND JURY RAPSI
 MERIDIAN HOSPITAL
Meridian Body Examines Many Witnesses and Re-
 turns 45 True Bills

Meridian, Miss, August 11.--(spe- cial.)--The Lauderdale county grand jury, after being in session a week and half examining 1S1 witnesses and returning 45 bills of indictment, has made it's final report and ad- journed The report of the jury which is signed by Thomas H. Wright of Keewanee. as foreman, and J. D. Giles, as clerk, goes after conditions at the Matty Hersee State Charity hospital with the following refer ence:
 "Wo regret to report the conditions at the Matty Hersee hospital. We visited the institution in body and we found conditions there in bad shape. The building is in such shape, it being a frame building, that in our opinion 1t is beyond repair. We find the screens out and the windows in bad repair. We find the hospital crowded and inadequate to accom- modate those unfortunates who have to go there for treatment. We find also inside the building insufficient baths, insufficient quarters for the nurses.
 In one place especially, we found four cases of typhoid fever all in one room and in the next room some cases of syphilis and with the screens out and the flies at liberty to come and so as they pleased, it strikes us as laymen that this is a bad con dition. We also found the sanitary conditions to be exceptionally bad and if the sanitary conditions cannot be improved we think as laymen that it would be much better for the in stitution to be closed until such time as these conditions may be remedied.'
 The report of the jury has added fuel to the fight that is being waged for a larger and more adequate buisd- ing, practically every organization in the city commercial, social and civic having indorsed a movement for the building of S modern hospital to take tho place of the alleged old srd delapidated one now in use
