FOR EARLY FALL

W k *W HEX summer millinery be
gins to look jaded and it
is still too warm for Heavy
winter hats, one must take
to "between seasons" mil
linery or to the styles that come un
der the head of "all-the-year-round"
millinery. The silk covered hats that
appear in September and those made
of silk fancy braids offer the best
choice to the purchaser for a number
of seasons. First because they are
not too heavy looJdng for warm
autumn days; then they are conserva
tive in shape, not running to any ex
tremes, and they are very durable
and able to stand the little spells of
bad weather that portend the coming
"winter. After serving their purpose
for fall, they come in handy during
the winter for stormy weather when
the best hat must be saved, and they
prove altogether desirable for general
utility until early spring arrives and
demands its own between seasons
head wear.
These hats are manufactured ready
for trimming and are excellent in
shape and lit well on the head. As a
rule no bandean is required with
them, and they are therefore easy for
the home milliner to manage.
The trimmings selected must be in
harmony with the shape, that is de
signed to withstand weather and wear.

give one an ample choice—malines,
especially those that are waterproofed,
are very useful and the fashion of
drawing maline over the feather trim
ming to keep it from blowing about
is sensible and pretty as well as thor
oughly appreciated.
In fashioning the trimming for such
a hat, folds and plaitings or other com
pact arrangements of the fabric used,
are altogether desirable for they aro
not easily disarranged. The hats of
silk braid and silk hats with velvet
facings are often simply trimmed with
big bows made of taffeta or corded
silk. A single strip of silk Is split,
along the center, lengthwise, hemmed
at the edges and stiffened by thrust
ing a fine wire in the hems. A single
large mow and collar made of two
yards of silk, which makes a strip
four yards long, is all the trimming
required. Its great advantage lies in
the fact that it may be taken off,
freshened, pressed and replaced on
the hat.
There are any number of pretty and
inexpensive fancy feathers to choose
from and they are all made from the
plumage of domestic fowls or birds
that we may use with a clear con
science. Wings always make a smart
trimming and the big ornaments,
many of them in Persian colorings
and designs, are destined to be a great
help to the amateur milliner in turn
ing out a creditable and useful hat.

It seems strange that more women

color for a year; then have a change
for the sake of variety. In this way
all of one's accessories correspond,

11// was not the inan they
IVI had come to fear aa
the devil incarnate
seen to tumble inglo
riously from a boat,
flounder helplessly and
gink to the bottom. Lieut. Edward Y.
Miller, the governor of the most out- I
lying of all Uncle Sam's territory, and |
the inspired uplifter of its people;, has |
been drowned in the course of duty |
and where is the man who will be able j
to fill his place?
This is the question that is facing
the Filipino government and the Bu
reau of Insular Affairs. This is the
question that is bringing to light a
piece of work that has been carried
forward In the wilds of the great East
that is as full of romance and accom
plishment as the most fanciful yarn
ever spun by the imagination.
For Lieut. Miller, U. S. A., has for
eight years been absolutely ruler over
34,000 people; wild, barbaric, unchrls
tion. He has single-handed brought
peace to those people in the place of
continuous warfare. He has repelled
the Moro pirates in many pitched bat
tles, armed and drilled his natives and
made his coasts a place to be shunned
of all else by these gypsies of the sea.
Yet Miller died ingloriously a month
ago from falling overboard from a
boat in the still waters of an inland
stream. The Moros have learned of
the nature of his death in such a sim
ple emergency that any mere native
would have been able to save himself.
The fear of him and his kind has con
sequently vanished and the Moros are
again at war.
Dean C. Worcester, American sec
retary of Uie interior for the Philip
pines, came a little later into Palawan
to inaugurate Emergency Governor
Evans, was attacked by the Moros and
much blood has been shed. All is
chans in Palawan, where peace has
reigned for six years. The insular bu
reau and the provisional government is
looking the 00,000,000 over for a man
who can fill the place of the dead
governor-king, but with little hope of
success.
All of which leads to the story of
Lieutenant Miller. He was at the
time of his death a member of the
Twenty-ninth Infantry, but had never
seen that regiment and was unknown
to its officers. This because of the
fact that he had been, since the time
of his appointment, on detached duty
as governor of Palawan. At the
breaking out of the Spanish-American
war he had been an officer in the Chi
cago militia and had enlisted. His
service was with the Fifth Illinois
Volunteer Infantry and had first taken
him to Porto Rico and later to the
Philippines. He served In the outly
ing southern provinces and his supe
riors soon recognized his genius for
getting along with the natives. He
cause of it ho received his appoint
ment in the regular army and his de
tached detail.
Lieutenant Miller was but 24 years
old when he first enlisted. Yet he left
a soldier's sweetheart behind him in
Illinois and when he received the
permanent detail the sweetheart came
into the wilds to him and they were
married. All the years between then
and now Mrs. Miller lias spent at the
side of her husband, and hand In hand
they have sought to lead the way for
their charges from the darkness of
barbarism to the light of civilization
and to better living. They have left
behind a monument of accomplish
ment that Is perhaps unequalcd in the
history of so small a force working
for the uplift.
Palawan Is the very outpost of the
Philippines. It lies In that great reach
of the Island that runs out to the
southeast, two days' Journey nearly to
ilorneo, and separates the China Sea
from Hutu Sea. It is a strip of land 20
miles wide and 275 miles long. Tim
bered mountains store the moisture
which makes its valleys perennially
fertile. Its long coast line offers It
self to the spoliation of the Moro
pirates, who have swarmed ihrough
these waters for centuries and have
preyed continuously upon their na
tives The mountain people and those
of the valleys are wild but sweet na
tared and simple. They are the Tag
ballon, good-natured wanderers, for
whom much hope is expressed. Yet
all was chaos, and war never ceased
in the old days.
It was Into these conditions that
lieutenant Miller brought his young
wife. The men of the army protested
.tgiilnsi such exposure, hut tin- young
■ ■Nicer believed that he knew the na
tlv< s better than tliey and that he
was safe with them He established
hlmseli at Puerto Princeaa, which had
once limit a Spanish town nf mime tin
parlance, but had become a d<sertt>d
■ tty of the south setts Here he made
his capital and here he begun hi,
work with the natives.
Hoon lie was able to muster a nuiu
bet of choaeit young natives Into a
mill tie organisation Thee# ho sup
plied with arms and drilled. His aim
was the repelling of the Moros. Salip
Akib had long been the terror of the
coasts. The natives had ben Inef
fective as warriors and the trades
were at the option of the pirates.
lieutaiwit Milter was well prepared
before he struck a bk*s\
Then one summer night the news
was brought that the pirates were
ashore at a village up the coast and
the natives were being robbed of their
stores and animals. The raiders had
gorged themselves, had stolen a score
of the pretty women of the settlement
for barter In other ports and were
carousing In the village. The gover
nor massed his constabulary and crept
upon the town. The pirates were sur
prised, but expected an easy victory.
Hut they had reckoned without the
big American, who was a fiend when
aroused. His followers had been
drilled into efficiency, but were yet
timid, not knowing their strength
when armed with American guns. Hut
they followed their chief to battle In
fairly good part. The pirates were
cut to pieces and the band broken up.
The American that day won for him
self the title of"the demon." The
timid natives learned that they were
able to stand against their hereditary
enemy. The gratitude of the whole
community came to the governor. Re
cruits came to his arms.
The band of Salip Tomi gave the
second big battle In the working out
of the problems of this isolated law
and order scheme. "The demon" met
this band under similar conditions and
the results were tho same. The timid
natives found that they could fight
und that they liked it. They placed
themselves at the command of the
governor and did his blddlug without
question. They came to call him king
and his word was law. They carried
tho tale.s of him to the ends of the
island and all the people proclaimed
him. None would have dared stand
against him, even had they not loved
him. He gave his orders aa to cessa
tion of war among the tribes and the
allotment of land. In two years he
had hrotiKht peace Into the wltolc
inland and found It In readiness for his
real programme. The fear of his arms
among tho Moros became so great
that for six years before his death
there was not a piratical raid on any
part of the island. The natives called
him king, and his powers with them
were absolute. To all intents and pur
poses he was iu reality king; for them
there was no authority In the land
but his.
Helng a practldbl man, Lieutenant
Miller know that If the people pros
pered. It would be through a cultiva
tion of their fertile soil. They were
mostly nomadic, wandering from place
to place. He exerted all his Inllueiice
to get tbe into settle down and make
themselves permanent homes, cultivat
ing more land
The Tag ha n os, or Inland people,
were the favorites with the governor.
They were Intelligent, tractable, um
steal, los tblc ll<- ih teriHna d that he
would do something for Miens people
to tlx their habits and tie th< in lo ibe
soli. It was In the carrying out of
this plan that he lost his life.
The Aborlaa river runs Inland
Ihrough a fertile talley near Puerto
I'rlnct na Twenty six tulles up this
stream Ooveraor Miller »• iected the
site for a model colony he planned to
plant. Here he would erect a school
that should be an agricultural and
demonstration plant. Here he would
get the children of the Tagbanos to
goto the industrial school. On the
fertile lands that lay round about he
would locate their parents. These he
would show how to farm at the same
time that the children were attending
school. He would teach them the vir
tues of a farm life by actually demon
strating it to them.
Governor Miller told his little plan
to the provisional government and se
cured an appropriation with which to
begin it. A little money he made go
a long way, for the natives volun
teered to do the work without charge,
and there was not much call for the
fine finish. The colony was this spring
drawing on toward completion, and
an it was the particular pet of the
governor, he formed the habit of run
ning up to see it every night after
work in a gasoline launch.
It was while returning from one of
these trips I hat the launch was upset.
Governor Miller, though a great,
strong, athletic man, had the vulner
able point of an Inability to swim. The
men who knew htm were surprised to
know that he should drown In a nar
row river. They supposed, of course,
he could swim. But when the boat
turned over the King of Halawan, the
savior of the people, the man who had
started the thousands on the road to
development, went unceremoniously
to the bottom and his native compan
ions dived for hours before they were
able to recover his body.
So there had settled down upon
Palawan the gloom of the great loss.
The people mourn the death of the
American as they have never grieved
for anything before. The great work
which he has established for them is
at a standstill and its future is in
doubt. Such work requires the gen
ius of a man who flts into just such a
nook, and civil service or the discre
tion of the men higher up is unable
to determine just what are the quali
ties needed even wero the man with
these qualities Idealist enough to give
up the world to which he lias been ac
(ucfuned to live among the people of
the wild for the Bake of doing good.
And the Moros, these Samals or gyp
sies of the sea, are again at their
depredations. They had thought this
big American a demon, a thing of
Mi|i"rnatural strength and of charmed
life. Yet he had sunk and drowned
with his boat turned over. So would
all his kind. They would throw the
next big American overboard and
drown him.
