' Iuella travels all the while.
She's never seen at home;
Her travel togs become her
She simply has to roam.
New York, Aug. 4. Trnveling made
irecumingi gnat's what the shinning
w nuvei logs no for the busy little
globe trotters. Hats, coat veils, bngs
and boxes, they are all smart as smart
can be.
The newest travel coats come iu
striking shades of tobacco brown, mus
tard, peacock blue and emernld green
and hang voluminously full from nar
row shoulders or narrow (yokes. Hugh
patch pockets are much in evidence
and buttons big as Bilver dollars or
ren doughnuts, frf a certainty, if
jour ooai is peacock blue your toilette
case too must be that hue. 'These fasci
nating receptacles, when of the colored
leather, are built liko snmll suitcases,
but the regular traveling bag shaped
own are all of either dark leather or
pig skia and then lined to match your
color scheme.
It were easier to enunira.te what
these Pandora treasure boxes do not
contain than what they do. Every
thing appertaining to a fastidious fein
mne toilette Is there. The complete
beauty parlor to be toted at ease by
a red cap and be at your service by

There arc of course hair brush,

Map box, tooth brush, case and iunuui-
powder, rogue, scents and lotions.
Button hook, shoe horn and hairpin
ernble boxes and jnrs Air coldcrcnni,

These nrtieles are most adequate in
ivormo iiinnoginmnica or striped in
black or gold, but an edition do luxe is
exquisite in crystal, gilt an, I enamel.
There are the complete sewing kits
too in either leather or cretonne cov
ered boxes so that you niny darn or tat
en route and take the famous little
stitch in time that saves nine.
For the thrifty travelers who loves
to put out a wash in the privacy of her
stateroom or hold domicile thero is a
three pound electric iron that will
turn dp-side down and let you hent
water on it. It is made with a hole iu
one end where you may hent your curl

For further aid to tho traveling
leather covered envelope cases one half

Tho wardrobe trunks have reached a
pinnacle of excellence which makes

THE LATE FOET AND TWO OF HIS YOUNG FRIENDS
"James Whitcomb Riley was roved by the people of Indiana as was
no other man," wrote Governor Ralston, of Indiana, after the sudden
death of the well beloved poet. "In au exceptionally tender sense the ;
people ef his native state believed that he belonged to them, and they
mourn bitterly mourn his passing. As governor of Indiana I am
anxious that the people be afforded en opportunity to show the high re- .
spect in which they held 'this man who sang of eommoa things,' and I
am moved therefore to suggest that his remains be allowed to lie in -state
in the rotunda of the capitol." Arrangements were made for the
burial of Riley's body in Crown Hill cemetery, near Indianapolis, rela
tives feeling that Mr. Riley shonld bo buried where tho" public might .
easily visit his grave. Thousands of persons silently passed the Riley
home in Indianapolis, while many closer friends of the poet entered the
home to view the body.

The Raggedy Man
By James Whitcomb Riley.
O the Raggedy Man! He works fer Pa;
An' he's the goodest man ever you saw!
He comes to our house every day,
An' waters the horses, an' feeds 'cm hay;
An' he opens the shed an' we all it laugh
When he drives out our little old wooble-ly calf;
An' nen ef our hired girl says he can
He milks the cow fer l.uabuth Ann
Ain't he a' awful good Reggedy Manf
Raggedyl Raggedy! Raggedy Man!
W'y, The Raggedy Man he's ist so good
He splits the kindlin' an' chops the wood;
An' nea he spades in our garden, too,
An' does most things 'at boys can't do.
He climbed clean up in our big tree
An' shooked a' apple down fer me
An' nother'n, too, fer 'Liznbuth Ann
An' nother'n, too, fer The Raggedy Man.
Ain't he a' awful kind Raggedy Manf
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Mnn!
Aa The Raggedy Man, he knows most rymcs.,
An' tells 'em ef I be good, sometimes:
Knows 'bout Giunts, an' Griff una, an' Elves,
An the SquidgicumSquees 'at swallers therselves!
An' wite by the pump in our pasture-lot,
He showed me the hole 'at the Wunks is got,
'At lives 'way deep in the ground, an' can
Turn into me, er 'Lizabuth Ann!
Ain't he a funny old Rnggedv juant
Raggedyl Raggedy! Raggedy Man!
The Raggedy Man one time when he
Was makin' a Kttle bow-'n-'orry fer me,
Says, "When you're big like yonr Pa is.
Air you go' to keep a fine store like his
An' be rich merchant an' wear fine clothest
Er what air you go' to be, goodness knows!"
A' en he laughed at 'Lizabuth Ann,
An' I says, " 'M go' to be a Raggedy Man!
I'm ist go' to be a nice Raggedy Man!"
Raggedy! Raggedy! Raggedy Manf-
I
