gown, made of maline to match the color of embroidery on gown, finished
with fringe. It is intended to overcoome the pope’s ban on low cut gowns
recently expressed In an edict from Rome.

The American people are prone to
waste. It is a truism that a family on the
■Ament of Europe will live upon what
t: e average American family will throw
away.
Even in small things this Yankee dis—
position to prodigality is manifest. .For in-
stance, the Germans, in their correspon-
dence, use extremely thin envelopes, which
proves their habit of saving in minor mat-
ters.
The German double envelope is not
mere than half as heavy as the American
envelope of equal size. The thinness of i

and does its work just as well as the bulky ones I
try. j

Innovation Favored by Pari# Seems to
Presage Return of Such Re-
ceptacles to Fashion.
During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining Its
position in woman's toilettes and even,
so daring an innovation as a sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris, the new form of pocket
being chiefly Intended as a receptacle
for the tiny fan, which Is so much In
vogue at present
The pocket is usually Inserted in the
sleeve just below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, so that its presence
is not even suspected until the fair
wearer suddenly produces a miniature
embroidered fan, apparently out of
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found on
either sleeve of a Bmart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs Is frequently pro-
vided with a pocket after the same
style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan. as In China, the sleeve
pffbket has been found so convenient
that it is also used to hold a lace
handkerchief, and there Is no doubt
(hat its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume large proportions.

The flag being an emblem, and the
Stars and Stripes being emblematic of lib-
erty in its broadest sense, any one under-
taking to abridge the liberty of the citizens
of this country represented by this flag
does more to insult it than he who tramples
it under his feet.
The defenders of the flag, the army and
navy of the nation, first, every loyal citizen
and believer in what the flag stands for
cannot but feel just indignation when the
nation’s honor is called in question.
It is a shame to have to admit that
there are people in our country who th-
ug our sailors and soldiers, and they go still further and
.-.ndates of our courts and teach others to do so, and a/lcr
d this they want to be called respectable.
u* op!e may become so satisfied of their ability to take ear - of
-ii.il to wipe out the army and navy and the judicial and exeeii-
.—nts of the government that they might become a menace

Needlework Note.
Damask centerpieces are quite the
style nowadays. Many clever needle-
women outline the flowers or design
of the damask with a dainty stitch so
as to form a border around the cir-
cular piece, and with an edging of
heavy lace this makes as effective a
centerpiece as could be desired.
Damask, however, is by no means
cheap, but if one can make a num-
ber of such pieces from old linen with
only the trifling expense of the lace
one can have one of these center-
pieces.
BRACELET IS COMING BACK
With the Elbow-Length 8leeve Thie
Ornament Is Almost Sure to
Have Access of Favor.
The bracelet Is to regain the favor
which it once held. Modern dress,
with Its popular elbow-length sleeve
for day wear, adapts Itself ad-
mirably to the display of the brace-
let. This is the main reason why they
should become popular again.
Bracelets of fine workmanship set
with Jewels are bound to find favor.
The snake armlets which are asso-
ciated with Cleopatra will be worn,
especially with evening dress.
Heavy armlets two inches in width
are patterned after those worn by the
Sabine soldiers when Tarpcela sold
the Roman city, tempted by their glit-
tering glory.
Massive is most descriptive of these
bracelets. They are worn on the up-
per portion of the arm above the el-
bow.
COAT OF TAFFETA.
When Little Guests Come.
Although there are no children in
my home. I always keep on hand eating
bibs, little glasses with handles, and a
little table-chair. You cannot imagine
the little ones’ delight when they
come to the table. To these may be
added little plates, knives, forks, and
spoons.
I also keep on hand, for their pleas-
ure, a few simple toys. In this way
T am always ready for little guests.—
Woman’s Homo Companion.
Changeable tafTeta with trimmings
of outlining, double ruches, is the ma-
terial of which this coat is made. The
sleeves are set In large armholes and
are in three-quarter length, with turn-
back cuffs edged at the top with a
ruching of taffeta, and trimmed with
taffeta covered buttons. The collar
falls over the shoulders and Is round-
ed In back.
New Bags for Old.
We all have one or two rather j
shabby leather bags. Cover these
with velvet, buy some heavy silk cord :
for a handle, long or short, as von
prefer, and you have a stylish and
pretty bag. Klther pas’e or sew th«
velvet on. I Fowod mine, and have
found it satisfactory.— Woman's Home

RAT BITES BABIES
WHILE THEY SLEEP
Snaps Arteries in Their Wrists
as They Slumber in Their
Basement Home.
ONE INFANT DIES
Animal Then Lurks Near Scene-
Young Mother of Children Faints
When She Sees Glittering
Eyes of the Rodent
Watching Her.
Chicago.—Sorrow pervaded the base-
ment residence of the Runge family
at 2042 Dayton street the other day.
In the small barely furnished living
room the body of a three-months-old
baby girl, a tiny, waxen, lifeless fig-
ure, lay.
Baby Emmett was dead, killed by a
large rat that entered his crib and
severed one of the Infant’s arteries
with one snap of its sharp teeth.
In another room the nineteen-year-
old mother, Mrs. Johanna Runge,
nursed an older baby, who moaned fit-
fully and held up a small bandaged
hand. ^ Charles, fourteen months old,
her first born, was the second victim
of the rat, which attacked the two
infants as they slept.
Charles is a healthy normal child
who was never sick before. Three
pbyicians in attendance were power-
less to aid him beyond cauterizing an
ugly wound in the hand, and blood
poisoning at any moment may wrest
the baby fr'om its mother’s arms.
Early in the morning as the young
family slept the rat crawled into the
three basement rooms in which the
Runges residfe. The father, Henry
Runge, who is twenty-four years old,
got up once shortly after midnight to
look at his babies. They were sleep-
ing peacefully, Emmett in his crib at
the foot of the parents’ bed and
Charles in a larger cradle in an ad-
joining room. The father returned to
bed and neither parent awoke again
that night.
At six o’clock Mrs. Runge arose to
prepare breakfast for her husband.
Emmett was lying in his crib, the
Severed One of the Infant’s Arteries
clothes saturated with blood. Mrs.
Runge screamed and rushed to the
cradle of the older child. The father
joined her, and the distracted mother
lifted the bloody hand of the second
child from the covers.
Drs. Frank P. McGunn and A. C.
Brell were called and the battle to
save the babies’ lives was begun. It
was found impossible to save Em-
mett’s life. He died ih a few hours.
The doctors declare the teeth
wounds to be those of a rat. Relatives
were expressing doubt as to whether
the rodent could have climbed into the
cradles when Mrs. Runge suddenly
rose from a chair beside her sick
child and screamed to her husband:
“Henry—behind you, the rat!”
In a corner of the room close to a
hole in the rotted floor a large slate
colored rat crouched, his small eyes
glittering. Mrs. Runge had fainted:
one of the watchers threw a missile
at the animal and it vanished.
Wooes Thirty Years, Then Weds.
Noblesville, Ind.—Following a court-
ship of thirty years, during which the
bridegroom called on the bride twice a
week, with the exception of one
month, when he had typhoid fever,
James B. Sturdevant at last popped
the question to Miss Anna Earl and
they were married in this city the oth-
er day. The bridegroom is forty-three
and the bride thirty-six. They have
been lovers since they were in school
together. Sturdevant is a farmer and
a heavy stockholder In several tele-
phone companies in the county.
Doctor Afraid of Surgeon.
New York.—Dr. Samuel Short, one
of the most famous physicians in New
York, died rather than permit a fel-
low surgeon to amputate his leg in
which blood poisoning had been dis-
covered after he had stepped on a
rusty nail.
Bishops Are Sued,
fclkhart, Ind.—George H. Lambert
has filed suit for $10,000 against three
bishops of the Mennonite church foi
libel as the result of a trial which re-
sulted in his being expelled from the
church.

BROUGHT GREAT HAPPINESS.
I take pleasure in stating that I
have used Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot,
that I was greatly benefited by the
eauie and have used it in my family.
I had a son, when quite young he suf-
fered from bladder or kidney affliction
I called in my physician, he attended
him, but did him no good. Almost by
accident I noticed an advertisement
about the curative properties of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. 1 procured a
bottle and gave it to him according to
directions. It cured him of what we
thought was almost impossible and
the same with others of my family.
I have such strong faith in Swamp-
Root that I have never done without
it in my family since the wonderful
cure of my son as well as myself. 1
recommend it to all who suffer from
kidney or bladder troubles and I am
led to believe that it is one of the
best medicines for the purpose for
which it is used, that has ever been
discovered.
This is my experience from the use
of Swamp-Root. Wishing the promo-
ters of this wonderful medicine a large
sale to the suffering public, I am.
