and usually handsomely gowned her
rlothrg are never the flrst thing
which attracts the attention of tho
stranger. Her taste runs to the
plain cloth and rich silks. She Is
emphatically not the tailor-made,
tttlk-lined woman. Her favorite col
ors for the street are brown and
grtiy and for evening wear pink, al
most Invariably.
She has never appeared In an Im
ported gown. She has had a number
of evening gowns made of the fasci
nating, filmy Philippine fabrics,
which she brought bark to the States
with her after her long residence In
Manila. And yet she brought only
what she might have actual need of

ly goes Into the cheap store
for unimportant nrtbdes,
careful women know how
During her residence in V:i
si e I. as done her purhasi:i.
In the s'lops along V stire
lu Cincinnati, she buys there. She
has been known to patronize the tai
lor In Baltimore who sometimes
makes gowns for Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Metcalf, and she also patron
izes the Sisters of St. Rose Indus
trial School in Washington, who are
famous for their handmade French
underwear.
It is In her hats that Mrs. Taft
'i somewhat lacking, as she often
, N unbecoming ones. She has not
"e.ired In Washington in large
i. ever; they run In fashion to
English or walking styles. Of
. .ves she wears a six and a quarter,
a. Taft has one falling in wearing
Kt clothes. Her skirts frequently
do not "set" well.
Mrs. Taft and her daughter are
both careful buyers. In doing holi
day shopping1, they rarely are guilty
if purchasing useless trifles. They
go about months before the holiday
week, and by the time other shop
pere axe beginning to think of buy
ing, their gifts are bought and care
fully put away, carefully labeled,
awaiting the auspicious day. In this
respect Mrs. Taft is much like Mrs.
Roosevelt, only that Mrs. Roosevelt
does much of her gift shopping In
the Jewelry shops, while Mrs. Taft
1b more apt to look In the department
or notion stores.
While both Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Taft frequently visit the shop
ping districts, one must know them
personally to recognize them, so un
ostentatiously do they go about. In
stead of dashing up to a shop In a
carriage, they walk briskly along the
street, accompanied usually by some
favored friend, always choosing the
morning hours, when the crowd Is
not bo large.
As buyers, Mrs. Roo3evelt and
Mrs. Taft are unlike, for the latter
always knows exactly what she wants
and can see at a glance how nearly
an article can answer her purpose.
She needs no advice, except occa
sionally that of her daughter. Mrs.
Roosevelt rather prefers to consult
tome otm else's taste and judgment.
The Taft household is dominated
tty the mistress of It except when the
master of It is In it. As a matter of
fact, he does not dominate it then,
but only thinks he does. It la only
the clever woman who can create
that delusion. Mrs. Taft does her
own marketing. She has never had
a social secretary nor a housekeep
er, nor has she done her house
hold buying over the telephone ex
cept In emergency.
Kquip Iiocomotlve with Wireless.
Omaha. Neb. Dr. H. Milliner, an

equipped a locomotive with a wire

putting them practically In constant

In a (inine.
Chicago. "trseball Is not a mod
ern game and all credit for tho in
vcntlon of It should go to tho mocnd
bu.idors."
This declaration was madu by
Prof. Frederick Starr, of the fnl
versify of Chicago, In a lecture lie
Uvtred to hid class In prehistoric
archaeology. Prof. Starr declares
t.ia,. through the southern part of
Ohio and Indiana ho has found geo
metrically perfect mounds or lnelo-
sutes closely resomhllng tho modern
baseball diamond. Thes. are gen
erally believed to have been bulit
for purposes of protection, but Pr-.if.
Starr says: "They are nothing more
or less than old ball fields of the
mound builders. The guno as play
ed by these old people resembled oi:r
modern game closely. A ball made
of wood or stone and Inclosed in
skins was used, and It was batted
with sticks such as la the present
day game. The most essential differ-
iic; Is that our game calls for only
t ine players, while In nrehlstoitft
mes as many ns 100 men were nec
essary.
How many Innings they played.
how many runs they made, whether
a game with 100 players lasted long-
tlian a cricket match, or whether
cry of "kill the umpire!" was
r raised were points ns to which
learned professor did not en
;en his hearers.
:of. Starr raid, however, that tho
::ie
in "Casey Rt the Hut," "There
no joy In Mudvllie, for Ca.ey

l.eevn, la. One of I.ov.ri" rr
land's horses disappeared. Carls
w.'iv placed in ;:nn r.i and several
parties searched the country over
for the animal, but no tiv.ee of it
could be found.
A neighboring family returned
from a visit of a few weks c:id Yo'.ind
the horse In a cave not more than a
half block from the stable which ho
had left fifteen days before.
The horse had walked up on top
of the cave when the roof gave way
and It had dropped In. Grass and
weeds above the place obscured the
view of the top and in all of the
search no one happened to think of
the case as the door was closed.
The horse was still alive and was
led bark to the stable, although hav
ing been without food or drink for
fifteen days.
ONE OX THTC I'XDKUTAKKK.
By Mistake His Cuffs Are Tut on and
Hurled with the Iread.
Marion, Ind. A. E. Stuart, ft
local undertaker, having occasion to
prepare a body for burial at the Sol
diers' Home, by a mistake placed a
pair of his own ruffs on the corpse.
An hour or two later Stuart missed
his cuffs and telephone to the man
who had assisted him at the Soldiers'
Home morgue. The man replied that
cuffs of that description had been
placed on the corpse, which was then
on its way to Star City for burial.
The undertaker was chagrined at
his mistake, for a valuable set of
cuff buttons went with the cuffa.

Blames lv.r thwc.rnis for Cancer.
HulTalo. N. Y. The Buffalo
Academy of Medicine heard a new
theory as to the origin of cancer.
Dr. Hiram D. Walker said that seven
yeais' experiment had proved to his
EVisfactlon that cancer was a para
sitic disease, and that the common
garden worm was the source of the
parasite which produced canver. The
trawimlsslon of the parasite from the
worm to the human being came from
the worm crawling over fresh vegeta
bles which were afterward eaten.

Princeton, Ind. At a sale here,
Johnson Clark, a farmer, bought a

got busy at once, alighting on the

Tho greet economy of travelling in
Europe comes from the fact that tho
American tourist feeds that he has
no neighbors to criticise him or any
particular position to live up to. He
does things cheaply because they are
novel and Interesting, and even at a
fourpence tea In London there will
be a flower or two on the table and
a civil girl to wait on him, so one
docs not feel the grind of cheapness
as In New York, where an eight cent
meal would mean eight cent food,
surroundings and manners generally.
Pension life in Paris la delightful
also, because of the Bamo accent. 'd
civility that proves a charming r.ar
prlse to the American and because
of tho remarkable cooking for which
some of the pensions are famous,
bringing pervious to them as guests
who would never patronize the big
hotels, where everything of recent
years ts so like the luxurious New
York establishments that the French
atmosphere Is entirely lost.
A woman traveller can go about
Europe for a year without buying
any new gowns, which is no small
economy. When Bhe gets ready to
come home she can buy one or two
cottumc3 with a Paris tag If Bhe
wishes to have something to show for
her trip, but her American gowns,
boots, hats, etc., are apt to look very
sr.iart, and the fact that she is trav
elling excuses her for the omnipres
ence of her shirtwaist and her ul
Ecr.ce of frills.
T r.ro always those exclusive
ones v'.:o say they prefer to stay at
he -.o r.'-thrr than to travel cheaply,
but there are other more daring
eou'.s vho will not let difficulties
Jand In the wny and rather enjoy the
-rr.:ui.in of llvlnc In a fourth floor

The pleasant side c.f life Koemi; to
bo upiermost In 1'arls, and noise,
dirt. Incivility and ugliness are htd-
Cen under a gliding of beauty that,
however superficial it may bo, makes
existence move along on well oiled
grooves.
And strangely enough. It is the
tourist travelling on small moder
ate means who comos In corit:i"t with
the real life and the real pleasure of
the French capital. The great bou
levards and the big hoteb are merely
replicas of what people see at home
and prlres In all the places fie im nt
by the moneyed American are
rated to satisfy the moat extravagant
taste.
