 Hats designed by artists, cheap in price, but well made and excellent in quality.
 In all the new shades we have had several inquiries about PeriWinkle Blue.

 Webster's Dictionary gives the follow ing definition of Periwinkle
 Periwihkle Blue tFrench, Perveriche). Any apocynaceous plant of the genus ViscA. A trailing herb with evergreen leaves and solitary blue flowers. It is often cultivated and frequently es. capes. In the United States it iS com. monly called Myrtle.

GOOD MAN IN TIGHT PLACE
kurd ChieftaIn's Gift to Missionary Made the Latter Partner In
 Double Crime.

One cannot but admire the candoE of the Kurd chief in his dealings with the American missionary. This mis- |siOnary had attended the chief when ithe latter was wounded in the leg.
 Profuse in his thanks, the Kurd asked what the amateur doctor would like as a present, the missionary eventually asking for a small carpet.
 Two years elapsed. Then ono day the chief returned with a carpet made of pure silk, and very old.
 "1 would have brought 1t before" he declared, "but I could not steal one good enough for you" The missionary protested that 1t was too valuable & gift, and said that 1t would give him great pleasure if the chief would restore 1t to it's law ful owner.
 That's impossible" said the chief.
 "Why?" asked the missionary. "Well, you see, Hakim, he valued his carpet so much that I had to cut his throat before he would consent to part with It."
 But you can restore 1t to his rela- tives.'
 ''Oh, no, can't; he was on a pill grimage to Mecca. and no one knew who he was or anything about him." So the missionary ended by accept ing the carpet.

Australia settling War Debts.

While America's war debt and the redemption of the loans to the Allies are occupying attention here, little attention is given by the United States populace to the methods being used by the other powers to return to some degree of financial nOrmalcy. This is especially true as regards the strug- gle England is making to refund the debts of her colonies, and especially of Australia.
 Australia owes the imperial gov ernment approximately $4S3, ,O00, ,0O0 for financing that cOlOny's war Sctivi- ties. Recently an interesting agree ment was made by which the Aus tr6lian government has arranged to settle the debt on the basis of q per cent annuity, with interest on the capital sum payable at rates from 8A to per cent.
 The margin between the interest payable and the per cent annuity will provide a sinking fund which will redeem the principal debt in less than 37 years.-Utica Globe. -
