rough rider of the Chicago wheat pit,
finds that he has won a deficit of
several millions. The young man
Ought to tackle something big along
with that other successful deficit
financier, the I lon.Crover Cleveland.
To speak honestly and frankly
with you, 11. W. Osier has an un
matchablc fitness to fill the office of
Sheriff, lie i- more competent to
fill flic place satisfactionlly and with
sobriety which we consider a mighty
big argument in his favor to place
before an intelligent people who go
to the polls in these enlightened days
with their eyes open. Whatever
your politics, it i- to your interest
that lie should be elected.
-The opinion i- very generally
'Xpressed that the Republicans 110111-
nated a good county ticket last
iveek. The issue this fall i- honest
;overnmcnt ami tlie selection of men
or office w hose iiitri/ri/i/ and nobrirfij
s unquestioned and \yho are not in
eague with ring politicions whose
ippressiveness makes the very air
>f their surroundings fairly -moke.
-The lack of space prevented us
ast week to make mention of a trio
>f <5. A. K. men that hid themselves
tway on Convention day last week,
:o swap stories on old war day.
riiey were Messrs. (Jeo. and Thos.
Simmons and .John Brewster, who
<adly bewailed the fate that denied
them the privilege of becoming
heroes again in the Spanish war.
The meeting was brought about by
[jeorge who is not satisfied with be
ing nedioere; he wants to be a peg or
two above that, and believes that a
lead hero is better than a live 11011-
iescript who never "tit,bled or died"
For his country; won a bicycle race,
■shot a burglar, was chased off the
liili by a big bear at deail of night,or
ilid something other than plod
through the world like a canal horse.
When the war broke out we learned
that he tried to enlist, knowing that
his nervy arm and steady eye were
us good for a few Spaniards as they
mice were for the Johnnies. But
Uncle of course rejected him for some
trival defect such as weigh or perhaps
(firth, such as ourself. Perhaps the
examiner thought (ieorge was rolled
out too much and would make to
high a target for Spanish Mauser
bullets, (ieo. is tall and narrow,but
most of his chest measure is made up
of a big heart, and altogether it is
much better that lie was made to
stay at home and attend to Cncle's
mail matters, see that the /tit/uirrr
and N KWS IT KM get properly circu
lated and make Republican votes.

LEATHER NECKTIES.
9k«7 1-ook \ >ry Jlnrli I.lke it Kelt fol |
!»€,!!> •» \Val4t.
Although he sign on the card read*
''Leather X ckties" there Is nothing
ftbout these natty little affa.rs to sug
gest a tie. On the contrary, they look
Sfery much like a leather belt for dolly's j
Waist. They are. iu fact, minatur*
belts, made on exactly the same style, !
With the harness buckles and sidu
Straps complete. They are of black
patent leather, the buckles covered with |
the same, or of white morocco finish, |
with nickel buck'.e. They match the |
waist belts in every particular, and j
might be called a neck belt with pro
priety. 1
They are as narrow as the narrowest
string ties, and extremely neat in ap
pearance. Tiiey never come untied,
and do not need to be pinned to keep
the bow straight. They always "stay
put," as the saying goes. The only
danger is that r.iy lady will not t>e satis-
fled with this neat little arrangement,j
but will want to make a change soon]
for a wider and heavier affair, which |
will eventually lead to her appropri- j
ating her cherished Fido's collar.
l'ollticul J liberty to Women.
During the annual meeting of the
National Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion, held in Brooklyn. Mrs. Carrie
l>ane Chapman Catt, chairman of the
Committee of Organization. X. A. \V.
S. A., said to a reporter that England
was getting far ahead of America in
the extension of political liberty to
women.
"The Parliament of England." she >
said, "has just conferred municipal j
suffrage upon singlt women and wid
ows of Ireland, upon substantially the I
same terms as men. Municipal suffrage
was granted to the women of England 1
iu 1869. and was so successful in its j
operation that in 1881 it was extended!
to the women of Scotland. Now. after j
29 years of satisfactory experience in
England anil 17 years in Scotland, it
is extended to the women of Ireland '
Full suffrage, including the Parlia
mentary vote, was conferred upon the
women of the Isle of Man in 1880, to
the women of New Zealand in 189:!.
and in ISIH the same privilege was ex
tended to tile women of South Aus
tralia.
M,v <;oi- K «otiM
My lady's slipper sees a very radi
cal change. I; is no more plain and
unadorned, no longer daes a simple
little bow or unobtrusup rosette orna
ment it. Instead, tluj£filipper is now a
very gorgeous affair It glistens, both
by sunlight and the gleam of gas or
electricity, for it is a jeweled slipper,
and, oftener than otherwise, elaborate
ly jeweled.
The style is to have these slipper
jewels match the pin or necklace you
are wearing, both in the gems them
selves and in the setting. When fan
tastic and curious designs are worn,
in oddly finished gold, the effect is ex
ceedingly picturesque and attractive.
Rhinestones are to be favorite slipper
ornaments, diamonds being, of course,
too valuable to be allowed to twinkle
carelessly on one's feet.
The ornament most admired will be i
a gold or jeweled buckle, either large
or small. This will rest upon a bow
or rosette of satin, and will be of many
quaint, and odd designs.
Women are adopting pajamas rigrht.
along. Those who have tried them say I
that their name is solid comfort.
Leather belts of all sorts are sup
planting tlie jeweled girdles used so
much to brigten winter costumes.
Enameled link cuff buttons set withj
the semi-precious stones are among the ,
newest.
Not only is there the rumor of hair |
nets coming in again, but they are
onee in a while in evidence.
Sashes lavishly bedecked with
spangles have the true Parisian touch
and are made in ribbon in all the even
ing shades.
Jackets promise to be very dressy,;
and black and white is a favorite com
bination.
A Watch in Her Nark.
It will now become necessary to re
vise the '•Guide to Highway Robbery." .
The petty thief who steals along the ;
street with his sharp eye fixed on the j
dainty and valuable little watches that
rich women carry has a new trick lo j
learn. The watch on the front of the i
waist is no longer before his eyes. Nor
has it a little watch pocket of its own.
A brand new repository, never heard ;
of before, has come into fashion—the
neck.
The why anil wherefore of this new
fad cannot be discovered. But the
girls are doing it, and they claim it is !
the safest and best way of carrying a
watch yet devised. Of course they
ought to know.
Tliv I'finluiue Observer.
IjOts of men can trace their marriage
to an unfortunate love affair.
No girl ever fools a man by kinking
up the short hair at the back of her
neck with a hot iron.
Men probably stand hearing the wo
men talk so much about the neighbors j
because they are afraid if they don't
they would talk about the taxes.
A girl always knows that the men
know why she liked to see a football
game, but she won't ever admit that
it's so.
As to tlia Hablea.
Never feed a baby simply to keep it
quiet.
Four hours between meals is a good
rule for babies.
The frequent feeding of infants is
often the cause of their stomach de
rangements.
Weigh the baby once a week. If he
does not show an increase in weight
each week somethlig is wrong.
