HooRIara Abroad.

An Indianapolis woman who recent ly re-established her home in the city after living several years in CalifOr- nia advertised some household goods for sale in California paper.
 Among the callers at her home was woman whose husband waited out side in an automobile. The woman wished some furniture that could be used in ranch house, but when lhe found that such articles were not among those offered for sale, she seemed reluctant to leave, although her husband honked impatiently at the auto horn.
 Finally the visitor said: There is something about you that makes me think you are a HoOsier."
 T am." came the reply. My home Is in Indianapolis"
 Well, I am from Indianapolis, tOo," said the visitor.
 In the meantime the husband ceased to hOnk the auto horn. What he did was to enter the house and gently but firmly remind his wife that it was getting late and that they should be. on their way hOme.-In- dianapolis News.

half hurt he stood and looked at her. Its true, then" he said huskily. "about the dance-about getting all rigged up for some one else. . |. I heard it this morning. Then his eyes met those of Mrs. Higgins stand ing in the fitting room doorway.
 Look here, Mrs. Higgins, you've always been my friend. You're not going to let Jerry turn me down this way
 Mrs. Higgins smiled gently. Its up to Jerry herself, Jack She can change her mind either way"
 He turned fiercely again to Jerry. Look here, if you like this other feI- low better why-why, all right. How do you know he's the right kind? Oh, Jerry" his voice sank in utter misery, q wanted to marry you!"
 Perhaps you have guessed that there were dream lights somewhere in Jerry's blue eyes. Something must have happened to them then. Right there in the ladies' ready-tO-wear de partment Jack reached for her little hand. Come on, Jerry, please. This pink thing'll be the beginning of the rousseau, huh? Huh, Jerry? We could tell them tonight at the dance"
 And back in the fitting room Mrs. Higgins was cOmplacently paying the saIeswOman. Ii was not until that night after all the hustle and hustle of getting the young folks off to the dance was over that she said to father:
 "'Twasn't lie. I do know folks fin Albany. I know Maggie Brandon and she has boy. I'd a gone down to fetch him myself to go to that dance with her. I knew I'd never have to though. Mothers aren't so Old-fash- toned after aIl."

Marvellous EnernV.

A professor of chemistry at O. lumbia says that Sir Ernest Ruther ford has bOmbarded nitrogen gas with the alpha rays of radium, thereby producing an explosion, the force and velocity of which is sufficient to send these he1ium atoms around the world in less than a second. This energy is millions of times greater than that generated by any chemical reactions such as the combustion of coal. It is claimed that if these effects can be both intensified and controlled, we shall then have at our disposal an almost illimitable supply If power which will entirely transcend any@ thing hitherto known.

A newly patented invention is "aerated ice cream It is, however, more accurately described as just the opposite, the air contained in the mix ture being withdrawn from it by a vacuum pump, after which carbonic acid gas is forced in under pressure It is then frozen, and has the same sort of "bite" as that which makes fresh soda water so agreeable to the palate.-Milwauke Sentinel.

Some men and women are, and the tips of their shoes wear out quicker than any other part. Others wear out the heels long before the toes. Some wear out the sides of the upper first of all.

REGULAR PERIODS OF FAMINE
Every Seven Years Starvation Threat ems IndianS and Eskimos in the
 Canadian North.

Every seven years starvation stalks in the Northland. The snOwshOe rab- bits die. And just as surely as they die. so do the Eskimo and the Indian of northern Canada.
 It was in one of these fatal years that AlansOn Skinner, curator of the Milwaukee museum, entered the Hud- son Bay country on an exploration trip for the American Museum "f Natural History, the Milwaukee Journal re- ports.
 Arriving at Moose Factory, he was surprised at the stories he heard. Every hunter and every trapper from the wilds brought them back.
 The natives were dying by hundreds, literally starving to death. It was a case of the survival of the Attest Should man turn his back upon even his best friend for a moment, he was apt to be killed. Cannibal1sm was rife.
 Skinner saw many gruesOme sights as he pushed on from Moose Factory to Rupert's, the last outpost. At one time he sat down to eat beside a French trapper who arrlved at Ru- pert's. He noticed that the man watched him with a strange light in his eyes. He left the table, but on looking back, found the mans eyes were still fastened upon him.
 What ails that fellow?" he in- guired of an Indian.
 He eat human flesh once of cousin Frenchman and Indian guide" the na tive explained. "NOw he crazy Must have more all time.'
 Skinner was mighty glad that he had not encountered the crdZed Frenchman alone on the trail, he said.

Not Dumb.

The Woman was calling on an ac- Quaintance the other day. "Tn tell mamma you're here," announced small daughter who opened the door at her ring. This errand over. she came into the living room, climbed up on huge plush chair, strengthened her little dress over her knees, and looked at the Woman inquiringly. The Woman. not being an adept at converSing on dolls and teddy bears. remained silent. and busied herself with reading a book of verse which lay on the table. Still no signs of life from the mysterl- Ous regions upstairs. The little tot cleared her throat inquiringly, but still neither spoke. Finally the child mustered up her courage, and said, Well, why don't you say something? l can talk !''-Chicago Journal.

There are large hats in the displays

the coming of summer, but even then
the smaller hats will outnumber them.

the first hats Of the season are as good
as any, perhaps a little better than
those that follow them. Four spring
models in the group pictured are
of an excellence that need not fear
comparisons in their class. They are
brilliant hats to be worn everywhere
and any time. They include tailored
fabric hat with ribbon trim. as shown
at the top, and three semi-dress or
trimmed hats. The hat at the left,
made of silk, has soft crown and
narrow brim that widens and turns up

eral colors with opaque, white beads

right brilliant black hat follows the

MILLINERY NEVER so LOVELY;
BLOUSES IN. GREAT VARIETY

THE zestful quest for Easter goes
4 merrily on. and women loiter con-
fidently through millinery displays de-
termined to make the most of great
opportunity. No season has provided
better millinery or more of it. The
trick is to make the wisest choice
where there are so many safe ones-to
find just the type of hat that is kindest
to ones good features and blindest to
faulty ones. The choice is successful
If the chosen hat may be truthfully

attention commanded by tailored
blouses that will serve either for street

blouses many different materials are

addition to the list.
In blouse styles the tuck-in and over
