an site was tenderly mud from the
saddle and carried up to her room.
There she was inclined to be delirious
and insisted first that her wheel should
be,brought up to the room for safe-
keeping and then that she be allowed
to go down stairs and sign the register
as she had after each completed cen-
tury so that her record mighLbe thor-
oughly established. Her last request
was humored and the register was car-
ried up to her. She took the pen and
began laboriously, but fell asleep in
the midst of the signing and her nuto-
graph stood as a scrawl.
Miss Yatmsn covered the 700 milcs
in eighty—one hours andviive minutes

made for the time she spent in taking
nourishment and in resting. During
the entire time she slept but one hour
and forty—five minutes. The hour was
at the end of the first century, and she
declared that she felt more used up
after it than before. At the end of the
fifth century she slept for thirty-five
minutes and on two stops she napped
for live minutes.
Miss Yatman rode five consecutive
centuries in July. Miss Lindsey of
Brooklyn rode six centuries and Miss
Yatman determined to eclipse the re-
cord.
When she finished six hundred miles
her weight had dropped from 121
pou dc to 116% pounds and at the lin~
lab 14 pounds. Her face was marked.
and she appeared to be at least forty
years old, instead of twenty-four. She
was examined by a physician, who said
afterward that she had a temperature
of 100 and was physically exhausted.
but that all she needed was proper
care. She felt hungry during a great
part of the ride and wanted solid food.
which her handlers refused to give. and
she was vcry thirsty. At one time on-
ly did she take liquor, and that was be-
fore finishing the last five miles. Then
a drink of brandy was forced down her
throat to keep her up. She ate noth~
ing solid and was sustained by beef
extracts, raw eggs. ice cream, cold ton
and a little coffee, with a few soda
wafers and plenty of chicken broth.
The last fifty miles were ridden in the
hardest kind of a rainstorm, accom-
panied by a strong head wind. The
roads wore muddy and slippery and the
riding was very hard.
She rode a wheel weighing twenty
three pounds and geared to 78. The

other scene of excitement on the stock

exchange today. The openingta'eallng‘i

ter the recent feverish activity, and it
looked as though the expected period"
of dullness, which always succeeds a
speculative furore had come. Some of
the big intrsts in individual stocks
and they noonwere on hand with sup-
porting orders and they soon began
to bid up prices with a view to retriev-
ing some of the recent heavy declines
in values.
The bcnrs stood by in idleness and
even gave some encouragement to the
bulls by covering a few short con-
tracts. Ilut when prices had been ad-
vanced from 2 to 3 points for the Indus-
trial stocks and a point or over tori
many railroad stocks, the bears i‘lood-'
ed the market again with selling or-

not neglect the face and neck in the

This bath has an exhilarating influ-

to the skin a healthful condition that
amply repays for the time and trouble
involved. if used in the winter, it
will be an excellent preventive of
colds, besides being a substitute for
face cosmetics. No chopping, no
roughness of the skin and no clogging
of the pores will trouble the person
whc systematically and regularly
takes a bath of this sort.
Ordinary table salt or rock salt will
do. but will not do so Well. The sea
salt contains medical properties not

“'01-: TO 'l‘iiAT DRESSMAKER.
You may talk about naval heroes and
rough riders all you like. but for super-
human nerve and colossal daring com-'
mend me to a woman i saw in a dry
goods shop here in town only id'st Mou-
day morning. i had an excellent op—
portunity to observe her carefully, for.
she stood precisely where i desired to
stand while she—well, this is what she
did: She asked the salesman to :k‘iow
her a certain piece of red cashmere.
Tlit‘n she produced from her pocket
the cut paper pattern of a child's dress
and calmly plant-d the pieces to the
cloth.
The salesman stood politely by.
thinking. if a salesman ever had time
to think. that she desired to ascertain
the quantity required for the garment
she intended to make, but she didn't
intend to make any garment at all.
After she had pinned the whole pattern 3
carefully in place, she took it on and
rolléddt up. There was a gleam ofl
triumph in her eye.
“Thank you." she said. “That‘s all
i wanted. I knew it didn't take four
yards. That dressmaker has just kept
that extra yard and a half, that't what
she's done."
But my. my! Think of a dressmaker
reckless enough to try to deceive a wo-
man like than—Washington Post.

Call at our store and let us talk
over the Fall Styles with you
We illustrate our talks with the
real articles.
Now we have an Oxford suit,
herring-bone pattern, double-
breasted cost. This suit if made
by your tailor would cost not less
than $27. while in the largest cities
you might expect to pay as high as
$40, but our price is,
Just ask us.
Another new arrival is it checked
worsted, brim full of satisfactio
and style; another, a striped wo -
sted, double-breasted Vest, just the
thing for business and for infor-
iuai evening entertainments, etc.
We have’nt the space to tell about
the others which we have, but we
can find time to show them all.
By the way, stripes and checks are what the correctly
11"th are demanding this fall.
Here’s a tip you ought to appre-
ciate. You will do exceedingly
well to purchase your heavier un-
