THE WEARING OF THE COTTON. So ths women are now expected to show themselves good spocis and come to the rescue of An ericai cot tun lalsers and cotton sptnn, rs by wearing cotton frocks and gowns during i tie coming season. Well, we might hesitate to ask Hits of the ladies had they not given ev uty evidence that In respect to warm covering*. *1 least, the female of the specie* Is more hardy than the male Kor summer wear ttie cotton sun for ihe men Is in all respects lesirahle, hot who would dream of asking them m shiver through the long; winter in loyalty to southern farmer* and Au erican manufacturers? It's dif ferent with the women. Ikin't they go about on the coldest winter days with their little throat* open to the nipping and eager air? Don't Hu tr Jlltle ankle* and insteps, veiled Ity ihe thinnest of silk hosiery, give Jack Frost a dare? It may sound a little unt hlval-ou* in southern editors and men of in fluence to urge upon the women "f this section that their cloths* oe made of cotton, but why not" Cotton Is ns becoming as wool -for nothing is daintier snd every one knows that Ihe consciousness of looking pretty keeps a woman's Idood warm. A wise observer of the 'air and frail sex once remarked that lu had discovered that organdie and lac* was the proper clothing for an urcllo expedition, for he had noted that nev er was there a woman thus arrayed on a cold day. hut that she became Immune to every chill. Certain It Is that women are love liest In thidr crisp and filmy summer costume*.

Joel and Amo* were brother*, and when their father and mother died they were all alone In the world. They did not have oven an uncle or aunt to whom they could go for a home. And the little house In which they lived on the edge of the forest was so ltd sera old It seemed ready to full apart, but Hie hoytt patched it as well as they rould and Amos said h« thought they could fine wood enougn blown front Iho tree* to alore sway for the winter, for they were *o poor they tl> 1 not even have a hatchet. "But what will we eat, brother"' asked Joel. "We must have food as well *s fuel” ''l had not thought of that,” replied Amo*. "We have ho little at any Hmj we diould lie able to get along some how.” So the brother* »et out, hut they walked a long way Into the forest without *eelng anyone, and had It nol been for the berries they found thev would have starved. C *ry Jp c The second day, Just as night cant on. Joel said to his brother, "I am sure I see smoke in Ihe distance, and tl must be a house." The smoke did come from a chimney, Just a* Joel thought, and when they tame near to it they say a Strang looking house, built of stone and iron bars ut nil the windows Thev heard someone coming in an swer to iheir pounding and they felt mire now or something to eat, hut when the door was opened they started track, and Iwth boy a felt a little fright ened in the strange creature that stood before Ihem But heffire they had recoverel enough to ask for shelter and food the strange creature said. "Come right in, my dear*, and eat and drink, for I know you must be tired." The queer-looking creature was not much taller than Joel or Amos, but was much larger and broader; in fact, h« looked a* big as three men all In one. and hi* arm* and hand* were so large he could hold a boy on each, which was Just what he did aa aoon a* he dosed the door. Then he spread out a hand towarl each bin, and said. "Jump on; I wi.l carry you upstairs." Joel and Amos obeyed this strange command, and in a minute the hoys were being carried up a long flight of stone stairs on the hand of. the que-r mail When thev reached th* top he let the boy* si tile off his hands to th* floor and then they noticed for the first time Ihal Iheir host had four feet and four legs. Ills eve* were so smalt they could hardly be seen, and his hair grew so long it fell over his shoulder*, and wn« white His face was so fat It resem bled a big pumpkin more than anv* thing else. In color as well as sixty only u was larger than any pumpkin Ihe boy* had ever seen. Joel was the first to apeak to this Htrange ereature. "We are lost in thj forest," he *aid, "and we have had lit tle to eat since yesterday. Would you he so kind as to give us food and shel ter for the night. We will do any work you may have We can dig In the gar den or chop wood to pay you for what you give u*." "That you shall," said the man, “and I will give you food und shelter and you shall dig for me until you find It." The boys did not ask what he meant hy this strange promise, for before they had time to think they were again picked up by the strange man, and this time he carried them by their coal collars along u dark passage. Both boys were terribly frightened, but when they smelled food, ns they did In a minute, they thought it might be only the etrange way their strange boat had of treating his guesta, and l>y Hie time they were put on their feet they were not at all frightened. "Tl ire I* your supper; eat all you want," said the man. At a long table In <he room where they stood were ten boys, about the aame age as Joel and Anms, and they were eating from Idg, steaming dishes Joel and Amo» did not need a second bidding, and when they had found a bowl and spoon and were eating, the queer man went out anti left them alone Joel and Amos were eating all the time, so that when old Pumpkin Head opened the door in a few minutes they were well filled and ready to work, although they thought It strange to he working hy candle light and wondered where they were to dig. "Com* along, now. all of you laxy hones." said old Pumpkin Head, and he drove the hoy* in front of him with a long whip he carried But when they reached Hie top 'f the stairs all Ihe boys stopped, and old Pumpkin Head went In front of them and spread out Ills big hands. This time he took two hoys on each hnnd and carried them down the stairs, returning until all were placed on the ground. Joel and Amos had noticed the floor was covered with boards when they came In, hut now It was one big hoi-, with the aides wide enough to stand on. Old Pumpkin Head took each boy and dropped him Into the hole, and the* all began to dig. and tomorrow 1 will tell you h«w they worked and what happened to m»ke all the hoys happy.

To read of a battle in which 3,000,- 000 men are engaged naturally raises visions of wholesale slaughter. All the uppliances of modern warfare are de signed to that end; all the skill and science of the greatest military ex perts are directed to that purpose. Yet, basing estimates on authentic historical records, there is good reason to assume that the number of men killed In any one battle in France will be surprisingly low when compare! with the death-rate under normal cir cumstances among the same number of men At Gettysburg, for instance, ihe death rate per 1,000 was 55.5, the highest in twenty-one battles in the civil war. According to the figures published by the Northwestern Mutual l.ife Company in the American Experi ence Table of Mortality, for every 1,000 men living at theage of forty-nine there will be £5.6 deaths before reach ing the age of fifty-three.

She referred, of course, to the popular break fast food advertising. There is more than jest in her statement, for news that bears such an intimate relaiton to the home and the table is of immense interest. The Cereal Stories are only one of many inter esting features of newspaper advertising. Indeed, no part of the daily newspaper is of greater personal advantage to the reader than the ad vertising. That is why newspaper advertising gives such splendid returns to those who us it. MORTALITY IN BATTLE purposes, this is exactly the same rate of mortality as that on the field of Gettysburg. That is to say, each sol dier had the same chance of surviving the battle of Gettysburg that a man now forty-nine years old has of living to be fifty-three. At the -battle of Chancellorsville the death rate among the soldiers engaged was 20.3 per 1,- 000. According to the life-insuraneo tables, tne death rate per 1,000 among men .i peaceful pursuits ranging in age from forty-two to forty-four exactly the same. Every soldier at Shiloh, where the death-rate in battle was 42.2 per 1,000, had the same chance of escaping alive as the average man of thirty has of reaching the age of thirty-five. These figures are surprising in show ing how far we are likely to be lei astray fn calculating the relative mor tality m battle. Inc. Per Quantity. Year. Quantity.

DORR Good-Taste Apparel NOT PREMEDITATED, SAYS BERNSTORFF Naw York. —Count von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, declared today tt was “prepos terous to suppose that the destruction of the cathedral at Rheims was a pre meditated act.” “It would seem from certain pub lished reports,” Count von Bernstorff continued, “that the destruction of this grand old edifice was the result if madee. This is ridiculous. I am posi tive that the attack on the cathedral at Rheims was not willful. However, I believe this is a case of hyper-sym pathy. For my part, I feel much more for the thousands of men who have sacrificed their lives, although I re gret as much as any man the destruc tion of such a beautiful work of art.” QUEBEC WANTS REGIMENT.
