THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. A l A' 'v - Jtf. I t "i K x i White Costumes Seen at the Races AT those fashionable sporting events in and near Paris, which tvro at tendod by a great concourso of people moro interested in styles than any thing else, ono may expect to see the "best efforts of the most capable de signers of apparel in the world. The Jockey club races at Auteuil, the French Derby at Chantilly and the evont of the Grand Prix mark the launching of ideas for tho coming fall, as Easter sees them on parade for the summer which follows it. Hero is a snapshot picture, taken at Chantilly, In which gowns made up in midsum mer fabrics' are cut on lines that prom iao well for fall. As the last word in summer gowns and as showing changos in stylo tendencies they are equally interesting. At the right a gown of white taffeta is a model of elegance and midsum mer comfort. Tho model could bo copied in light-weight linen or in white voile, or voile nnd taffota combined, with just as good results. From tho standpoint of durability linen and fine cotton cropes are most reliable. It will be seen that the underskirt is wide enough to allow a comfortable stride and that the tunic Is longer than those of earlier design. It is laid In Outing and IF you are looking for nn outing hat you may bo sure that a sailor shapo In one of tho numerous va rieties In which tho sailor is made is to bo found that will bo becoming to you. It appears that about everything that has a brim of moderately regu lar width 13 classed under this namo and it is really a matter of conve nience to have It so Outing hats aro usually pressed shapes of straw or hemp which aro bought ready for lining nnd trimming They are trimmed with wings or feath ers or novoltles thnt will stand moro or less of the wear and tear of dally use. For trimming them, durable wings, feather breasts, pompons, strong ribbons nnd ornaments, espe cially manufactured for them, are brougnt out ench season. The hat for summer sports needs iio trimming. Tho simplest of bands as a finish, or a flat bow at most, is iprroprlato for head-wear that fulfills side plaits all around and finished with a hemstitched two-inch hem at tho bottom. The blouse 1b plain, with three-quarter-length Bloeves. It is fin ished with a sailor collar and turn-back cuffs, with Its only decoration a small laco vest and hemstitching on sleeves nnd collar. A -white satin hat, lined with black velvet and trimmed with white feath ers, a black enamel and rhinestone brooch, a broad black ribbon saoh, with white shoes and stockings, mnko up1 the details of this exquisite toilette. At the left a gown in white crepo and heavy laco repeats the plain skirt and long tunic stylo Just described. It is completed with a little coat open ing over a silk vest, which Is cleverly cut into long points. Very handsome fine pearl buttons ore set close to gether down tho front of tho vest. Tho helmet turban of white feathers is a fad In which fashionables are in dulging just now. It has one point of advantage over white satin or silk hats it will outlast them in usefulness. Made of feathers it may bo worn in the winter time. Black slippers and white stockings and a very broad sash of white ribbon complete this graceful costume. Sports Hats Its mission when It covers tho head, stays on nnd shades tho eyes. Two pretty examples of sports hats are shown in the Illustration given here. One of them Is of white corduroy and tho other of white satin. Thoy are comfortable and beautiful and their life Is a short but very busy one, last ing about six weeks in tho heart of the Bummer. The outing hat pictured Is of white hemp trimmed with a long whltp wing springing from a feather base. Two Jot pins aro thrust through tho wing and shape. Thore is a narrow band of white ottoman ribbon about the baae of tho crown. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.. Little Glrlc' Summer Hats.

VILLA BEARS CHARMED LIFE Rebel General Believed by His Ene mies to Be Immune From All Danger. New York. Tho luster of Villa's namo is bringing him scores of re cruits every day, nnd foreigners who liavo just oomo to northern Mexico via New Orleans from Mexico City assure mo that thousands of federals, dis gusted with the bungling of their offi cers, nro itching to got into tho com mand of tho former Chihuahua mulo driver, Gregory Mason writes In tho Outlook. Tho federals are convinced that ho bears a charmed ll(o. TImo and agnin their sharpshooters havo tried for him as ho loomed up sud denly on his big bay horse, directing the aim of tho artillery with quick, deep commands: "Mas dorecho" (moro to tho right), or "Poco maz lzquierda" (a llttlo moro to tho loft), as ha rodo up where tho bullets whined loudoi and dismounted to tako a riflo in tho trenches. Ono of theso keen-eyed fed eral riflemen when taken prisoner had tho brazennees to tell Villa of his efforts to bag the big leader. "I fired at you ten times, ml gen eral; but it's no use, you bear a charm and my old girl (his rlllo) know it and balked." Tho frown that had begun to cloud Villa's unshaved face broke into a smile. "That's right, boy. No use wasting ammunition on me. Now go back and tell that to your companions." He waved toward tho hills that sheltered tho enemy. "But, mi general, I want to fight for you," pleaded tho llttlo sharpshooter. "Do as I say; andnlo (hurry up)," bellowed Villa, and motioned to threo soldiers, who throw tho poor fedoral on to a knock-kneed, razor-backed mule, which, under tho urgo of a bay onet thrust in tho flank, sped for tho distant hills at a Jack rabbit's speed, with tho unhappy soldier bounding on tho animal's sharp back llko a llvo crab on a grill. "He'll tell his friends some good Btorles if they don't shoot him before ho reaches them," said Villa, with ono of his queer, characteristic facial puck crings, as ho turned to help a brother ofllcer who was having troublo with a now saddle. Unearthed $60,000 Gold. Prescott, Ariz. From IShrenborg has come a talo of threo mysterious SpanlBh strangerB who camo by auto mobllo from California, for a few days, dug around in tho ruins of tho deserted camp of La Paz, and who left with golden treasure valued at ?G0, 000 found under tho floor of a saloon of tho olden days conducted by a Portuguese, Francisco Rabaua. Of tho digging thoro seems no doubt, however much attaches to the rumor of treasure found. Thero havo been many such explorations in tho past of tho ruins of tho old camp, whero millions of dollars worth of gold dust wero handled about CO years ago. Even somo of tho tombs havo been desecrated by the searchers for hid den gold. One-Legged Qeggar Wealthy. Now York.

From tho tourist point of view no country in Europe can bo said to bo moro accessible moro conve nient In Ita traveling facilities, moro moderato In its ' hotel and other charges, or, with .regard to Ub size, moro Interesting than llttlo Belgium. Yet, for Bomo exceptional reason or other, Belgium docs not seem to bo Bufllclently acquainted with tho travel ing American.

And what clso7 Bruges, per haps, or Liego, aro moro or less known, because Longfellow dlecovorod ft belfry in tho flrst-nnmed city, and Scott managed to murder a prince bishop in tho other. But what about Ghent, with its glorlouB cathedral and its wondorful marbles and its ruined Castlo ot tho Counts, and its crypts, and its slcopy Bogulnnnge, with tho laco workers, and its old guild houses? Or tho marvelous relics of tho past in tho almost forgotten cities of an cient Flanders, such ns Tournnl, or An dlnnrdo or Ypres? Or tho Edenlaud, which stretches along tho undulating bnnks of tho Mouse, with tho medloval citadels of Iluy and Dlhant highlands of tho Ardennes stretching from Na mur to tho moorlands surrounding Spa? Belgium, Indeed, Is a country which 1b a panorama of constantly varying interest, with tho towns all closo together, only divided by beau tiful landscapes.

Tho Steen Is not a ruin; It seems to havo always escaped destruction. Tho great' chambers aro filled with an cient furnlturo, curious collections ot beds and musical instruments, armor and awful instruments of torture.

RALSTON Rttnttrj ri Cormpcadtoca Piiailwiil Moody Bile IwtiltiX, Chkato TEXT "Aa tliou limit sont tno Into tiin world, even 80 liavo I nlo ont them Into the world. . . . Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you ns my Father hath svnt me, oven so Bend I you." John J7:1S; rO:21. Tho falluro ot tho church in thoBo days is sometimes attrib uted to tho wldo provnlonco of ma terialism, formal ism, commercial ism and depnrturo from tho truth, but may it not bo in tho members of tho church not properly recogniz ing thoir mUslon, which is very di rectly presented in tho text? Tho two smnll words "aB" and "bo" as found in tho text, nro very significant. "As my Father hath sent mo, even so send I you." It Ib not for us to ox amino into tho counsels of eternity, but wo know thero waB a purpose In the sending of Josus Christ to this earth on tho part of tho father, nnd a willingness to perform that mission by tho Son, who said: "I am come to do thy will, O God." Thero aro threo phases of tho mission of Jesus Christ that may help tho Christian to under stand what hiB mission Is. 1. Jesus wus sont to exemplify a per fectly holy life. Wo may indeed Bay that God wanted to show tho world that thoro could bo a perfect Ilfo In ono wearing tho human body. Jesus asked in Ills great intercessory proyor that his disciples might bo sanctified through tho truth, that Is, mndo holy. While wo cannot get nlonp without tho ntonement of Jesus ChrlBt by death, wo cannot got on without this holy life. Jcbub chnllongod hla ono mleB to charge him with any uln. and tholr testimony 1b ( on record, that thoy could find no fault with him. Tho moral glory of Josub Christ 1b ono of tho best testimonies to tho genuine ness of hiB mission. Tho mission of his disciples is like wise to exemplify holiness. It must not bo negative only, tho avoiding of evil, but it must bo positive, and will come out in making tho Word of God tho guldo ot llfo, In prayer, In modltn tlon and In a correct outward deport mont according to God's law. 2. Tho mission of Jesus Christ was also that ot saving. It 1b truo that wo may think of Christ as saving us by dying for ub on tho cross, thus making n substitutionary Bacrlilco, but it must not bo forgotten that while ho was upon earth ho was n soul-win-nor. Ho did not soom to bo success ful in his popular preaching. Ho gath ered his disciples ono by ono; ho won tho woman of Samaria, ZaccheUB and BartlmouB. Ho Bought tho people, those straying on tho mountains of sin. His disciples in these days must remember that this work of saving is, in a senso, their chief mission. If tho church would arlBe In its mlBslon, tho ontlro world of mankind would soon bo brought into submission to Jesus Christ. Yot, not possibly ono out ot ten 1b n recognized soul-savor. Wo might aBk in astonishment, Why Is this, nB tho burden of responsibility in this text rests on Christians, and tho promises of succcbs aro abundant? 3. Jcbub Christ was sont to suffer In tho flesh, bo aro his disciples. Wo can never think of Jesus Christ nB hilari ous or lackadaisical, but as sorrowful, burdened with tho sins of tho entire world. Ho was poor, and did not know where to lny IiIh head, had not honor In his own country, wob despised and rejected of men. Ho worked Inces santly, though hungry and thirsty and weary, and at Inst In early life was cruelly put to death. His msclples are also to Buffer, yet most of them seek their own ease, and congratulato themselves that they aro escaping poverty, hunger, and oppo sition of men. Jesus Christ was not, as John tho Baptist, clothed with camel's hnlr, and otherwise a donlzon of tho wllderncfiB, but In tho midst ot clvlllzntion ho did not tako advantngo of Its conveniences and luxuries. Would not tho suffering thnt his dis ciples today should enduro by willing poverty, soon give tho gospel to every sinning man upon the faco of tho enrth, and thus hasten tho coming of the Lord? Somotlmes wo aro callod to suffer parh and sickness, not con nected with our work. May this not bo God's method of purifying us? How fow thero aro upon this earth that would bo worthy of wnlklng In tho fur nnco of Buffering with tho son of God, the fourth one in the fire! Christians now aro groveling, thoy aro living on tho limits of their privileges. Why should they not rlso to tho higher lev elB of prlvllcgo and experience? Tho answer to this question might bo that they nro not willing to llvo tho llfo that Christ lived, receiving tho ap proval pf God; they aro not willing to give themselves to Boul-savlng, and not willing to suffer for his salco.
