SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
ILJs a mutter of common experience
that bright lights in a chamber, church
or hall whoro numerous persons nrc
gathered together havo the effect of
producing drowsiness among certain
members of the- congregation or audi
once, says tho Philadelphia Press
This phenomonon is caBily explained
hy tho current knowlrdgo of hypno
itlBtn. The drowsiness produced by
tho lights is a species of hypnosis. It
lias been suggested also that lack of
proper vontllation causes a toxic qual
lty in tho atmosphero to which somo
people are especially siiHceptlblo, the
result being an irresistible drowsiness.
Sleeping In church has always boon a
ready subject for humor. It Is related
that on ono occasion when a proposal
was under discussion to have a scries
of sermons preached on topics of the
day w'hlch wcro agitating tho public
minds, Rtifus Choate, as a member of
the congregation, protested vehement"
ly, saying, "I seek my pow, as 1 seek
my bed, for repose." There Is ulso an
nnccdoto of an old Scotchman who
was asked if ho know a certain man in
the same neighborhood. "Know him?"
ho replied with emphasis. "Why, I've
sleoplt in tho same kirk wl' him for
forr-ty year." Hut tho majority of
preachers havonevor been inclined to
tako a humorous vlow of the matter,
any moro than Dean Swift.
"Tho law does not permit a man to

Holdup Man Rob Him
of business n few years ago. It wasn't
becauso he had Jost his skill or his
nere, but It was because bo obeyed
bis mother. Ilafner was In business
on Washington street near Rural
street when he was the lctlm of a
"holdup." A customer in Hafner's
poolroom gave him a ?10 bill in paying
for his games, and Hufner took a wal
let, containing $175. ot at u1b l,ock
el to get two fives. Two strangers
wero standing near by and tho larger
one grabbed tho wallet.
At that moment Hafner's mother
nnd one of his emploes stepped in at
the back door and as Ilafner tried to
detain the robbers the employe- ran
Into a back loom and got Hafner's re
volver. Ho gave Ilafner the revolver
Just as the robbers, went out of the
door, with Ilafner in pursuit. As Ilaf
ner leveled the pistol his mother cried
"John'" Ilafner nays he has heard
that cry before, and he never In his
life disobeyed his mother, so when
she told him not to bhoot he lowered
tho pistol and watched tho robbers
run away with his $175.
"I am not sorrj I obeyed my moth
or," said Ilafner when tho Incident
was recalled. "Tho loss of a few do!
lars Is nothing when compared with
tho life of a man, even a robber. I did
not tako up rllle and rovolver shooting

COMBINE BLACK AND VIOLET
Mixture of Colors That the Expert
Dressmaker Uses to Much
Advantage. '
Dress Is most alluring this season,
nnd thore Is such variety in style that
not only every taste but every Indi
vidual figure, can be suited. Black
and violet as regaids dress for recep
tion nnd every afternoon wear Is a
fashionable alliance, and we note It
principally In taffetas and satin cos
tumes, whllo with the black cloth or
eponge tailor-made a blouse of bright
velvet charmeuse and guipure inser
tion veiled with black nlnon do sole
Is a fitting accompaniment.
Tho mauve foulard with bjack or
mauve nlnon oversklrt Is being ex
ploited with success, as Is the pannier
coat costume of black and deep purple
Liberty satin.
A charming model of this stylo has
tho coat gathered nt the waist, with
belt coming high In front and mnde
of exquisite black, purple and ecru
embroidery. This continues In bnnd
form on either side of tho coat fronts,
whllo -the bodice portion Is arranged
in wldo pleats, and the pearl-shaped
sleees leach only a little way bel6w
the elbow.
IN OLD ROSE.
Hero is quite nu Inexpensive dress
of old rose casement cloth. The skirt
has a seam up center front and is
trimmed with a fold or black satin
and a row of blnck buttons with sim
ulated holes.
Tho bodlco, which is cut Magyar, is
tucked each side front and back, also
on tho sleeves; It fastens In front,
where It Is trimmed like the skirt.
Tho collar Is of the material finely
tucked, nnd a black bow finishes the
neck.
Hat of cream Tagel, trimmed with
laco and vobcb.
Materials required: Four yards 40
Inches wldo, one-half yard satin on
tho cross, about four dozen buttons.
The Corsage Bouquet.
Tho corsage bouquet is ono of tho
prettiest fancies in dress ornamenta
tion. On special occasions, when ono
wIbucb tho nusterely tntlor-bullt cos
tumo to tako on a glorified nnd festal
air, a modish flower arrangement
pinned to the coat front will work a
very pretty miracle. The most fash
ionable of these artificial posloB 1b a
combination of orchids with lilies of
the valley, or, if tho bouquet Is of
vloleti or roses, sprays of Illy of the
valley must be tucked in.
AVOID THE COLORED FROCK
Average Woman Will Make No Mis-
tako When She Pins Her Faith
to White Material.
Tho woman of limited Income
should not be tempted by colored
linen frocks. They are not a wise
Investment when gowns must neces
sarily bo lew in number. They are
almost suro to fade, and even whllo
they possess all their original glory
they cannot be touched up and varied
by colored cravat and belt, ns tho
white outfit can. Such is the imper
ishable beauty of white that even tho
Inexpensive material known as sail
cloth, which can be bought for about
30 cents a yard, can be made to look
smarter than tho average colored lin
en. Those venturing upon costumes
of sail-cloth should, however, to make
assurance doubly hitre, see that tho
material has been well shrunk before
It Is made up.
Now the "Jupe Pantalon."
The latest thing in tnllormadcs is
the "Jupe pantalon." It has little in
common with the "jupo culotte," or
harem skirt, except that that gave us,
the bottom of the trousers, and tho
"Jupe pantalon" gives us tho top or
the same garments. It Is a skirt with
a series of little close gatherings at
the waist. These aro confined by small
buckles similar to the one used on
a man's trousers. At each side of the
Bkirt Is a pocket, and In order to com
plete tho resemblance to mascullno
wearing apparel, braces fastened by
buttons back and front hold up the
skirt. With this garment is worn a
bhlrt of white percale, perfectly Hat
and plain, with long sleeves, wristlet
nnd a high stiff collar, in fact a man's
shirt in all Its unadorned severity.
The wearers of the "Jupo pantalon"
costume when sitting around , their
clubs, smoking cigarettes, look at first
sight like men In their shirt sleeves.
Collariess Frocks.
Tho girl wbo realizes how ex
tremely becoming tho collariess frock
has proved to bo will be glad to learn
of Its continued popularity.
For this reason tho high-nock ruf
fles and ruches of tulle, chiffon and
taffeta, with their small clusters of
flowers set at Intervals around tho
collar, will bo worn when furs aro dis
carded and it is necessary to havo
somo protection.
If one chooses to wear n collar
band, It must bo unusually high. In
modelB from Paris tho high collars
are shaped to follow the outline of
tho hnlr back of the cars.
Tho little pleated frill, so dear to
tho Fieneh woman, makes a soft be
coming lino around the face.
Plush for Winter Hats.
Hatters' plush Is expected to be
used on many of the new fall hats,
and beaver cloth will doubtless bo
seen on the tailored hat. This cloth
will probably be popular with tho busi
ness women, as It wearB so well, and
a hat of beaver looks trim nnd neat
to wear with a tailored suit. Dresden
taffeta will be much used for trim
mings, especially in tho way of largo
bows.
For the Small Boy.
Ono of tho prettiest novelties this
season is tho biilt of brown linen for
Biuall boys. Theso are embroidered
with silk to match. Sailcloth Is a
practical material; it launders well,
holding Its color. For warm weather
theso are made with knickerbockers
nnd tunic tops caught about tho waist
with a belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen
with collars and cuffs of white is an
other pretty combination.
Ribbed Fabrics.
It Is said on good authority that
corded weaves will bo very popular
In tho autumn. Theso new ribbed fab
lies will includo materials so light la
weight as to be suitable for dress dra
peries and heavier ones adapted for
suits, outer wraps and trimmings.

Mother's Lingual Attainment.
The mother of a little boy In Kan
sas City, Kan., recites negro dialect
stories charmingly. Her small son is
quite proud of her accomplishment
nnd frequently boasts of it. Ono day
recently, when somo of his playmates
wqre vaunting the achievements of
their several mothers, the llttlo boy
bragglngly remarked:
"My mother Is smarter than any of
yours; she can talk two languages."
"What are they?" demanded his
companions.
"White and colored."
Took Slot Machine at Its Word.
A Kansas City woman recently took
her two small daughters to make their
first visit to her husband's people, liv
ing in n small Kansas town. Naturally
she was anxious to make as favorable
an impression as possible. So tho two
little people, on going on an errand to
the depot, wore cautioned to be on
their very best behavior. To tho
mother'b surprise, they returned vig
orously chewing gum. As they had
no money, she asked them where they
got 1L
"Oh," explained the older one, "It

Matter of Justice.
Where shall Justice begin, with
those who have power or with thoso
who suffer wrong? If exact aud ideal
Justlco were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to tho strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no Just causo of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element In tho relations of the strong
and tho weak is that both aro think
ing too much about exacting Justice
nnd not enough about doing thnt
which is Just and right. "Pay what
thou owest" is tho cry most often
heard. "Give mo that which In ray
due, then I will pay you what J owo."
