Everything should como in
eoason nnd when tho St. Louis
Republic of laBt Wednesday gavo
its renders tho information that a
lighted lantern under your bug-
gy robe in the sleigh would keep
your feet warm tho ooldest days
it was doing its home readors a
service but such advice to Abi-
leans that day with the mercury
at 02 would have brought on a
riot. The lantern willdo it. "We
used it at St. Louis twenty-five
yeara ago
"With practical unanimity
New York presents Judge Alton
B. Parker to the demooracy of
the nation. We say 'practical
unanimity' because everybody
understands Tammany's game
and knows that the tiger growls
mightily but never bites tho nom-
inee" says the Houston Post.
History denies the last assertion
of the Post as the Post should
know but we hope the braveg
Will support the democratic nom-
inee this campaign.
The St. Louis Republic warns
ama)l towns and oities to savo
land for parka and save them-
selves trouble when thev get too
big to buy the land or where the
land is not to be had. The Re-
public quotes the Park .Commis-
sioners of Holyoke Mass. as fol-
lows: "The time is not far dis-
tant when public sentiment will
be aroused and demand larger
and better recreation grounds
and the question will not be
where are we to get the money
but where are we to obtain the
land Each year sees the ab-
sorption of available lands for
that' purpose by citizens and
corporations who are erecting
buildings thereon and we shall
finally be obliged to establish our
parks outside of the city limits
but whichcari not takethe place of
parks within." This hits Abi-
lene and our citizens should
wake up to the necessity for act-
ion. Indeed there is even now
but few available places in any
desirable location. Think on
this question.

"Tho Bort of clothes worn by a
porson' when posing for a photo
crrauh has a treat deal to do with
tlu success or failure of tho photog
rrmlinn in onnilTittif n ttrnA nlni urn '
said a p"hl6lographe.
"Take u wuist of silk with n glis-
tening or polished surface. Such a
garntont ennuot be made to tako well
in n photograph and will give a pe-
culiar effect to it that nino out of
ten women will not like; yet when
thoiact is pointed out to them they
may refuse to believe it. Another'
thing that does not lend itself well
to photographic purposes when made
up into gurmenfs at' goods of a
positive pattern such as largo plaids
wide stripes and so forth. Dresses
of these goods may look well on tho
wearer nnd perhaps in a few cases
not detnact from the effect In a pho-
tograph but as a general proposi-
tion they ought to be tabooed by
women wh'cn having their pictures
taken by any photographic process.
Sharp contrasts m pronounced col-
ors ought also to be strictly avoid-
ed ana jffet or other glistening or
glittering jewelry 1 should not be
worn for the light is reflected from
Ihciu sometimes in such a way as to
spoil almost completely the picture.
"Stiff .materials in dresses are also
apt to act ns a contributing cause
to an Unsatisfactory photograph.
Ooods that will fall into soft nnd
graceful folds arc the best for a dress
to be photographed in for the artis-
tic possibilities in their arrangement
are well nigh limitless. Sharp
harsh liuesat the neck and wrist are
bad as well. Did you ever notice
that when a woman wears some soft
chiffon or something of that sort
about b'er neck the photograph is al
ways more pleasing than when she
wears usstut collar or stock r
"All of these things I have men-
tioned help to give a photograph
that quality which causes a woman
to say it isn't entirely satisfactory
even though the features may be
excellent. Skilled photographers
know these things and try to have
their customers avoid them but oft
tentimes persuasion is useless and
then comes the 'kick' when proofs
are shown 'that 'there is something
about it I don't like "St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
He Shaved For Greece
In the old days of Bangor there
was a negro barber named llansom
who was full of patriotism and Iotc
of liberty and who warmly espoused
the cause of the Greeks in their
struggle -with Turkey. His enthusi-
asm at Inst grew to such a pitch that
he announced that ho would devote
a day to shaving for the benefit of
the Greoks. 'The idea took and cus
tomers flocked in by the scores hut
when they offered payment the bar-
ber declined. Ho hud given notico
he would shave for the benefit of the
Greeks he said and "d'yer s'pose I
will take pay when I shave lor do
benefit of de Greeks?" So he shaved
all day for nothing and probably
felt comforted afterward with the
thought that he hud done something
handsome in aid of tho Greeks.

Carried Out His Threat.
An Irishman who hud committed
the theft of un eight duy clock and
several watches was much nnnoved
at night by the clock's persistent
"tick tick tick" which his distort
ed imagination made him believe
was "Pat Pat it wus you that stole
the watches."
J 'at threatened that he would
break its back unless jt desisted but
the clock continued its stcadv "tick
tick tick."
n n rage he leaped out of bed
seized the clock and hurled it out
of thp window. The clock in its de-
scent struck a policeman who in

The Black Hen's Eggs.
The other afternoon u woman en-
tered u grocery store and stepping
up to the proprietor said:
'"I want ."() cents' worth of eggs
and prefer those laid by black hens."
"Well I'd like to accommodate
you liiaduui but as long as I've
been in this business 1 never learn-
ed how to tell the eggs of a black
hen from n speckled or a white one."
'Yet' continued the woman
"thero is u great difference and
eggs luid by black hens are easily
distinguished."
"If that is so just pick them out
for yourself pleusesnid the gro-
cer. Accepting the invitation the wo-
man carefully selected the eggs and
as bhe put the Inst one into a paper
bag the astonished grocer exclaim-
ed: "Gracious! Do bluck hens lay all
the big eggs ?"
"Yes' replied the customer glid-
ing toward the door "that's how
you tell them." 2few York Press.
Example of One Species of Honesty.
A Philadefphiiin recently returned
from Ireland tells the following sto
ry and vouches for its veracity:
"I was in a remote pari of the
green isle and was compelled to stay
at a wayside inn during the night.
Evidently the place was not fre-
quented by travelers to any great ex-
tent and my reception was made
a gala occasion. Befrire retiring I
placed my shoes outside of my room
to be polished according to the Eu-
ropean custom. In the morning 1
found them as I left them. I in-
formed the landlord that I had put
my boots out and that they had not
been touched.
" 'Sure sor he replied 'you cud
lave yur watch outside o' y'ur dour
all night in this house an it would
not be touched.' " Philadelphia

The Passenger Department of
the Missouri Kansas & Texas
Railway has a move of much in-
terest and vnlueto its patrons who
desire to visit St.Louis during tho
Worlds Fair. It has established
a bureau to supply the wants of
visitors in the way of rooming
accommodations. It has secured
options on several thousand fur
nished rooms in St. Louis hotels
and first-class private residences.
All are inspected by a represent-
ative of the Bureau. None but
clean first-class rooms in the
most desirable districts of the
city are accepted.
The M. K . & T. Ticket- Agonts

lino aro prepared to secure reser-
vations in advance. "Katy"
Ticket Agts. will explain the
plan. This arrangements will
no doubt prove popular. Those
desiring accommodations should
apply as far in advance as possi-
ble as it will be difficult to re-
serve rooms on short notice. An
office ofthe Bureau wilt be main-
tained near the Union -Station
St. Louis at whiah place an effi-
cient corps of clerks and uni-
formed messengers will be on
hand to dipeot visitors to their

pared to furnish guides chape-
rones messengers; also cabs and
automobiles to carry visitors to
their quarters and express ser-
vioe for the transfer of bagage at
reasonable- rates. This will be
refcognized at once to be of spe-
cial value to strangers and ladies
