While- a great many inventors arc
able to invent and perfect new ideas
but few of them possess the business
toct necessary to introduce their inven
tions after they have been patented.
Occasionally, however, an inventor is
enabled to devise a valuable invention
and is at the same time able to realize
a snug sum on the same.
One of these successful inventors is
Thomas S. Ferguson, of Omaha, Ne
braska, who has invented a bit, within
i which is embodied a removable and
I adjustable simper so that oval, 6phcr
liical or irregular openings can 'bo drill
Ted, the bit being urranged to automat
ically utljust itself as it feeds forward.
Inventor Ferguson further devised an
egg carrier which is the simplest and
cheapest egg crate yet invented and
placed upon the market and both of
these inventions he was enabled to dis
pose of to a company with unlimited
capital, the patents being procured and
sold through Messrs Sues tCo., United
States Patent Solicitors, of Omaha,
Nebraska.
Clarence II. Judson, of Council Muffs,
Iowu. has received a patent for an ex
ceedingly clever device, which can be
used both as a toy and an advertising
medium. The invention consists of a
peculiarly constructed metal frame
which can hi made for a few pennies
and which is adapted to hold a square
piece of card board such as an ordinary
business card, and which when thrown
backward will expell the card with a
force sutlicient to send if fully a hun
dred feet straight upward, the inven
tion being practically a card shooting
gun.
Inventors desiring valuable free in
formation as to the luw and practice of
patents, may obtain the same by ad

A country editor, wishing to pay a
high tribute to an old soldier vising the
village, wroto of him as the battlescar
red veteran. When the printer got
through witli it it appeared next day
and the old soldier was referred to as a
"battle-scared veteran."
When the soldier read the paper he
went up to have it out with the editor.
The scribe explained that It was an
error of the printer, and he would cor
rect it in next day's edition. When the
next day's paper appeared to the old
soldier as a "bottle-scarred votcran,"
the printer being responsible as before.

AINY WEATHim
Is always Intruding
upon us. Wc can
not get rid of it.
Such being tho case
we may ns well bo
propared, for at no

tant that a woman

against It aa we will, our linlr becomes
flabby, and when that Is accompanied
by a homely gown, the result is de
plorable. These remarks doubtless seem super
ficial, but is there one business woman
in ten who, when she buys her gowns
for the season, thinks of a rainy-day
costume?
Bicycling and tennis aro slowly but
surely affecting cloudy-weather dress,
for the knickerbockers which are so
useful in these sports serve equally well
in keeping one dry on a rainy day.
They should be worn under a short
walking skirt. Cheviot or ?ergo, of ony
color but blue that turns green after
being wet a few times is best for the
suit.
It's a pretty idea to have a tam-o'-shanter
designed to wear with tho suit.
It should he trimmed with a couple of
quillo, which weather cannot spoil.
Over the costume should bo worn a
long, sleeveless circular coat, or thin
tweed or gingham. These coats havo
capes and narrow turnover collars.
Perhaps one prefers a tight-fitting
coat, In which case puff sleeves are
worn and jacket fronts. Theso fronts
are Intended to conceal a largo rocket
on each side. The entire effect is very
natty.
To return to materials, one cloak
was of brown "and white fine checked
gingham, lined with changeable taffeta
In brown magenta. Another was of tan
tweed, thin enough to allow the glow
of a pink lining to shine through.
A cute idea in this cloak was Hie
tiny pockets placed at each front cor
ner of the cape. They were entirely
concealed by ornamental flaps.
Above all things, have a handsome
umbrella, and learn to properly furl

is the little acts of courtesy atid con

which deepens her love for him, height

makes her dally and hourly grateful
to God, through whose Infinite wisdom
her life and that of her husband were
brought together. Marriage is never a
failure in a home where consideration
fills the minds and lives of the hus
band and wife. It is a golden bond be

binds them together when they are ab

I think that a person wno tries lo
shoot a burglar in hlB own house is
foolish. It Is even more hazardous than
running ahead of teams on the street.
Suppose one should tumble down. No
driver has such a command over his
horses that he could stop them soon
enough to prevent an accident. It al
ways makes me nervous to see some
smarty go dodging under the horse's
nose. Now, a burglar has nine out of
ten advantages over theman being bur
glarized. The burglar Is wide-awake,
on the alert for danger, has his means
of escape perfectly planned, and Is
around for anything that may threaten
him or cut off his escape. The man
being burglarized is usually awakened
from a sound sleep, if he awakes at
all, and is naturally in a dazed condi
tion. This Is proven from the fact that
about three-fourths of the men thus
aroused, who shoot at burglars hit
tome member of tho household instead.

A small, close round hat has a turban-shaped
brim of fine Jets. The
crown is puffed chiffon. The trimming
Is of very short ostrich tips curled into
rosette shape. These are set around
the sides of the hat, and a long plume
falls over the back.
A round hat of satin braid has a
moderately low crown and a trimming
of at least ten loops of wide Dresden
ribbon Eet at one side and falling over
the crown. Three very full ostrich tips
are set at the other side of the crown
and foil toward the front.
Chatelaine belts of gold and stiver,

ble cases never opened, vinaigrettes
without any salts, fan and bouquet hold

But the new chatelaine bag made of
various kinds of fancy leather is a thing
for use as well as beauty. Bags of liz
ard skin and tan suede, with gold, silver
or aluminum ornaments, are especially
desirable. Some are fastened securely
to the belt and others are held by u

When the war of 1808 bigan Maceo
was working In the country ns n peas
ant, employed on a farm. Ho Joined,
with his brothers, the rebel ranks, and
was admitted as a soldier. By ills
bravery ho reached tho rank of major
general, nnd, after Gomez, was the most
Important chief of the last revolution.
Two of his more important battles In
tho former war were those of Dema
jngua, In Holguln, nnd La Galletn, In
which ho defeated General Martinez
Compos.
His campaign at Baracoa was also
very brilliant. In 1878 ho bad his
greatest triumph at San Ulplano, whero
the Spanish column of San Qulntln had
to retire before Maceo, leaving 100 dead
vn the :.'"W,.-.Ia that action the Span
ish were commanded by'Fldel Snnto
clldes. the same one who was killed In
this war by Maceo's forces at the bat
tle of Peralcjo.
When the peace of Zanjon was ar
ranged, Maceo did not llko to agree to
any treaty with Spain. He continued
fighting two months more. General
Martinez Compos, under date of March
19, 1878, wrote thus to tho prime min
ister, Canovas del Castillo:
"It is very difficult to arrnngo the
peace In Santiago do Cuba, whero
Antonio Maceo rules. Ho was a peas
ant, and is now a general. His ambi
tion is enormous, his courage great, his
prestige Immense among his country
men. He is a man of high natural tal
ent, and for him nothing could be done,
notwithstanding the wishes of the Ju
ban government. He has convinced
Vicente Garcia that to yield is dis
honor." Maceo was compelled to leave Cuba,
but ho did not sign the pence. He
camo to the United States, and after
ward went to South America, conspir
ing always against Spain. In 1890 l.e
tried to renew tho revolution in Cuba,
but unsuccessfully. In 1894 he was at
tacked at Costa Rica by a group of
Spaniards as bo was leaving a theater.
He was dangerously wounded, but he
killed one of his opponents. In March,
1895, ho landed in Cuba again, followed
some days after by Marti and Gomez.
His lifo since is well known to Ameri
can leaders. At tho battle of Peralejo,
by defeating Spain's first generul, ho
added a page of glory to his biography,
Ioblto, Mai Tlempo, Sac del Indlo,
Candclaria, are his most brilliant ac
tions after Peralejo, on account of his
wonderful two Invasions of Plnar del
Rio, coming from Santiago do Cuba the
first time, and tho second from Las
Villas, as reported by his staff chief,
Brig. Mlro.
Genera Welyler is now very anxious
to catch him passing ths military wall
the SpanlBh have established from
Mnriel to Majana, but the Cubans aro
confident of Maceo's courage and abil
ity. Maceo's feelings at present are the
same as in 1878. He says that death is
better than nny treaty with Spain not
based on the absolute independence
of the island. He will never accept au
tonomy or reforms. He hopes only in
tho final success of the war, and with
respect to the work of the Cubans in
this country to obtain belligerent
rights for the patriot army he wrote a
few days ago to them: "I am more con
fident in the force of arms than in the
abilities of diplomacy."
