Norfolk friends are enjoying a lit
tle book of poems entitled "A Llttlo
Patch 'O Blue. " This little collection
of poems was written by Mrs. Gazelle
Stevens Shnrpo of Gnrflold county ,
Okla. Mrs. Sharpe is a sister of Mrs.
B. M. Huntlngton of Norfolk. Mrs.
Hnntlngton has recited several of the
little poems and her friends have en
joyed them very much. An Oklahoma
paper in speaking ot thorn says :
"Mrs. Sharpo's poems are of the un
derstandable typo. She depicts the
drama , the comedy and the tragedy In
a distinctive style that shows her
deep understanding and appreciation
ot every day life. Her stories ot child
life approach the classic nearer than i
any others. Poaslbly posterity will
enshrine them as we have exacted
the love tales of Byron , the Idylls of
Tennyson , the humor of Mark Twain
or the dialect of Bret Harto. "

BIG AND BIGGER THE HATS.
New York , Jan. 14. Despite the
tirade against big hats , those worn
by Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt , Alleen
Osborn and other fashion leaders this
winter are bigger than ever , and al
most flat as well. Apparently the big
hat has not yet been ousted from the
position It usurped with such swift
ness a few years ago.
The trousseau of Mrs. Arthur
White Sullivan , who was Miss Alice
DIeudonne Chase , includes a dozen
hats of vast size. Mrs. Guy Forbes ,
until recently Ruth Rudlow Searing ,
also started oh her wedding trip with
liats large enough to serve as the
booths for subway kiosks , her friends
jokingly said. All four of these wo
men are known to their associates as
experts in reading fashion's skies.
Though not given to cloao economy ,
it is unlikely they would buy so many
big hats if they were not sure the style
would retain Its vitality at least the
remainder of the season.
SHORT JACKETS ARE HERE.
New York , Jan. 14. A Jacket
shown in an uptown * shop is very like
the little Jackets which may be ex
pected this spring. It is of black vel
vet , a sleeveless affair with girdle of
the same material and a wide band of
fur to shorten the waist line.
A new fancy in the linings of long
coats is the use of a pale color in the
upper part and a dark one at the bet
tom. The fad is certainly practical ,
for the long coats are subjected to
ooil from the pavements as much as
a skirt and the dark lining at the bottom
tom saves some of the murky appear
ance that is sure to appear in a light
lining with a few times' wearing.
Fur Ic used in an endless number of
wayi by the milliner. A big picture
hat covered smoothly with white kid
and lined with brown velvet has a
gold cord around the crown at the
bottom nnd around the high crown
at the top there is a whole sable skin ,
the head at one side ot the front and
the tall and paws falling oft at the oth
er side of the front.
Coats and hats are the first interest
of everyone as a now season approach
es , and this time the Interest is unusu
ally keen , because there is a general
feeling that a definite change of the
styles is at hand.

Kansas City , Jan. 11. Yes , E
Howe , formerly of tno Atchlson Globe
Is resting. Lost week , the first ii
thirty-three years when ho was no
editor of the Globe , ho went over tin
weekly issues of the paper for th <
thirty-three years , transcribed what
I ho thought best of the homely phll-
'osophy ' that gave him fame and pre
pared the copy for a book which ho
will call "Country Town Sayings. "
Next week Mr. Howe will prepare
a batch of the saute matter to bo
printed under the title of "Country
Town Sketches. " Between times , he
1ms boon busy on the miigazlnu ho Is
tfohiK to write every mouth to 1111 In
Ills leisure time. As soon itn his sec-1
end book Is printed , he will begin n
dramatization of his first novel , "The
Story of Country Town. " Of this
book , written twenty years ago , Wil
liam Dean Howclls snld : "The great
American novel has arrived. "
"Mark Twain told me twenty-five
years ago that I should dramatize that
hook , " Mr. Howu said last night. He
came to Kansas City yesterday afttir-
noon after n trip from Atchlson to
Topcka In the morning. Lust night
ho went to see Frltzl Schoff In "The
Mlkndo. " He Is going back to Atchl
son this morning.
"Twain said the book had dramatic
possibility. So did George W. Cablo.
So did Fanny Davenport , Sol Smith

played Romeo to Mary Anderson's

A LITTLE GUSH ABOUT MUSH.
New York Laments the Passing of the
American Dish.
New York , Jan. 14. In these days
of lamentation over the passing of the
"good old times" of our fathers , mush
falls to come in for Its proper share
of tears. Mush the very sound of
the word Is helping to make it obso
lete in the dictionary as wqll as in
the kitchen. Nowadays it seems to bo
n relic of a former civilization. In
attempting to account for Its disap
pearance as nn antiqimrlan has discovered -
' covered that the cook's laziness and
the products of men Inventors are the
. cause.
I The cook may , or rather may not ,
be thankful for what the men have
5. done for her with their invention of
I breakfast foods , whoso names If not
melodious , at least suggest that they
are easy to serve and eat while pro
viding food for the mind during the
, assimilation of the morning paper. It
is far easier to pour something out of
I r. package than to stand at a pot stir-
ring.and stirring with a wooden spoon
, as the corn meal sifts slowly between
the fingers Into boiling water. The
cook of today should be glad to prepare -
. pare in such a manner this aboriginal
I American dish , if not for patriotic rea-
I sons , at least because she does not
have to make her corn meal like the
Indian squaw of the pre-breakfast food
age.
age.No
No longer does the American family
await with eagerness "mush day , "
with 'Us ' mush , soft and hot out of the
pot , to be followed by breakfasts ,
sometimes consecutive meals of fried
slices brown and golden In a cover
ing of maple or plain sugar syrup.
Now , when mush gets on a table in
New York It is in disguise either by
name or garnishing. The other day
a hostess went so far as to serve It
with lady fingers. And the "good
old timers" cry , "Give us mush , real
mush , plain musii , not pates de mats. "
FRANCE THE WORLD'S UNCLE.
In Ten Years 34 Billion Dollars Was
Lent Abroad.
Paris , Jan. 14. In ten years France
has lent 3,400 million dollars to for
eign countries. So says Edmond Till-
cry , the banker , in a financial review
which he has written for the Paris
Matin.
. Everyone knows that France Is a
very wealthy country , but all the
same this figure is impressive , for
more than one reason. The decade
to which M. Thiery alludes Is comprised
Q
prised between January 1 , 1899 , and
December 31 , 1908 , and this is an
enormous sum to have sent abroad.
As a matter of fact the exodus of
o French capital has given rise from
time to time to harsh criticism. M.
, Thiery admits that it is certainly a
cause for deep regret that so vast a
sum , instead of having been devoted
to the development of the nation's in
dustries , should have gone to help
the development of other countries ,
which at some future date may bu
formidable rlvais of Franco.
Ho argues , however , that it is un
just to maintain , as is done oflcn , that
foreign Investments are of no proill
to the economic power of France
"Were such the case our countrj
would not have become the grannrj
ot. disposable capital , to which states s
that want to borrow Invariably come , "
. ho says.
I And ho contends that the foreign
. stocks acquired by the French In'
] these ten years "constitute a mighty
reserve of gold , bringing great annual
revenues to their holders nnd thus'
j ! { giving to the ensemble of the French
, financial market an Inllucncc abroad
; which has been of profit to nil the ma-
'
terlal Interests of our country. "
M. Thiery was probably led to these
_ observations by n series of articles
headed "Tho French Capitalists
Against France , " which is appearing
In the llumaiilte. In these French
and Gorman methods are contrasted
with a certain amount of bitterness.
German banks do much for Gorman
Industry , It is argued , but what do
French banks do for French Industry ?
Of six billion dollars' worth of se
curities Issued in twenty years by the
great French banks , only about n fif
teenth Is sot down by Jules Doumer-
gue as being devoted to French Indus
tries. He continues :
"As for lending money to our
French Industrialists nnd commercial
men , o'ur banks absolutely decline to
do so. They explain that such opera
tions arc risky and that , ns they can
utilize their money abroad with less
worry and more profit than in France ,
they must follow the course which
best suits their Interests. "
ROOT WILL OPPOSE LORIMER.
New Yorker Will Make Address Upon
Floor of-Senate.
New York , Jan. 11. The Now York
Tribune prints the following under a
Washington date :
"Senator Root has determined to
take the floor and speak In opposition
to the retention of William Lorlmor
of his seat In the senate. Mr. Root
has made a thorough examination of
the evidence , nnd while he has not
completed his labors ho has gone far
enough to warrant his assuring the
president that he will speak In oppo
sition to the acceptance of the commit
tee report exonerating the junior sen
ator from Illinois.
"This Is doubtless the most Import
ant development of the day , as the at
titude of Mr. Root will go far to ef
fect the unseating of the Illinois sena
tor.
"Both the legal ability and conservative
vative character of the senator from
Now York are appreciated by his col
leagues and , while the more sonserva-
live members of the senate might be
disposed to take with several grains
of allowance the charges and argu
ments of some of the Insurgent sena
tors , they will receive Mr. Hoot's Judg
ment with attention and his views will
have great weight with all.
"In taking this step , Mr. Hoot Is act
ing In entire accordance with the pres
ident , who has been for some time
convinced that the finding of the com
mittee on elections and privileges was
not In accordance with the facts as
disclosed by the Investigation.
-"After a thorough review of the tes
timony a number of the more censer
vatlve senators have concluded that
he corruption of the Illinois leglsla-
.ure to which Senator Lorlmer owed
ils election was such that It cannot
je overlooked , despite the fact that it
s not the business of the senate to
enter into the question of corruption
n state affairs.
"The opinion that the extent of the
iribory shown in the testimony is suf
ficient ground for declaring the elec
tion invalid has become a conviction
with many and thj pronouncement of
Senator Root , in view of his qualifi
cations as a lawyer , upon the legality
of such action bj the senate will be
the determining factor In the senate's
decision. "
