Answering tho question. "Is tho

This farmer recommends as a
remedy that every mother who raises
seven sons on American soil bo given

He is a thinking man and many of
his replies are pungent. It is said
that President Roosevelt read tho
letter to his cabinet Asked whether
the conditions on the farm were satis-

Tom Richardson of the Portland
Commercial club has a novel scheme
for advertising Oregon. Ho Is in
Chicago and will bring fifty Bchool
children to Portland" at tho expense
of the publicity bodies of that city,

tho following to say regarding his
plan:
"Thomas Richardson, who is going
to Invito fifty of Chicago's school
c-hltdren to pay an extended visit to
the Pacific Northwest at tho exponso
of tho commercial Interests of that
section and then to come homo nnd
educate Chicago, Is president of the

that Chicago shall become Interested
In tho vast country which Lewis and
Clark mado possible, and ho thinks
tho school children's enthusiasm is
tho best medium for accomplishing
his present purposo."

Paris Introduces Development
of Directoire Style Which
Resembles Stove Pipe.
PARIS, France, Dec. 24. Tho
revolution gradually brought about
In woman's dress as, a result of th'o
Dlrectolro craze is 'producing some
curious consequences. Tho dress de
signers and makers, after having
grndually brought about what they
describe, as a straight line In frou
have now directed their attention to
the back portion of tho fashionable
attire, and the decree has gone forth
that tho straight line, front and back,
is to prevail this winter.
The result Is to create an entirely
newshaped human being, already
nicknamed "la femme tube," or "tho
tube woman," because the few wo
men seen about so far In the very
latest style of Directoire dress re
semble walking stovepipes,
The new figure requires the wear
ing of a corset of extraordinary
length, resembling certnln ancient
iron Instruments of torture. They
are mado of rubber or elastic tissue
and whalebone, and reach nearly to
the knees. Many of these new cor
sets aro on show at tho large shop3.
