GOOD HAT requires not only the best materials but the best workman- ship, because the making of good hats is largely a hand process. To say that a KNOX HAT is made of the finest fur and the finest stiffening tells only part of its history. The most skillful fingers must give enduring form and finish to the material. ‘Those who wear the Knox Hats have the undeniable satisfaction of knowing they wear the ‘* best'’— in work- manship as well as in material; in durability as in style.

By birth most surely, since the creature can Boast of a pedigree the like of which Holds not a Howard or a Metternich. By breeding. Since the walks of life he trod, He never wagged an unkind tail abroad. He never snubbed a nameless cur because Without a friend or credit card he was. By pride. He looks you squarely in the face Unshrinking and without a single trace Of cither diffidence or arrogant Assertion such as upstarts often flaunt. By tenderness. The littlest girl may tear With absolute impunity his hair, And pinch his silken, flowing ears the while He smiles upon her—yes, I’ve scen him smile. By loyalty. No truer friend than he Has come to prove his friendship’s worth to me. He docs not fear the master—knows no fear— But loves the man who is his master here. By countenance. If there be nobler eyes, More full of honor and of honesties, In finer head, on broader shoulders found— Then have I never met the man or hound. Here is the motto on my lifeboat’s log: “God grant I may be worthy of my dog!” New Orleans Times-Democrat. G Z=RMANY has recently voted to decide who are the twelve greatest men in the Father- land. The list begins with the Emperor. The sec- ond choice is Gerhart Hauptmann, the dramatist. Robert Koch, the scientist, is third, and Ernest Haeckel and Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, who have added to the scientific reputation of their country, are the fourth and fifth selections in the list. The sixth name is the present Chancellor of the empire, Prince von Buelow. Seventh and eighth are Max Klinger, the painter and sculptor, and Richard Strauss, who has been selected to represent music. August Bekel, the Socialist, and Count Haeseler, who is high in the military affairs of the country, are ninth and tenth. The eleventh niche was awarded to Emest von Beh- ring, the physician and scientist, and Reinhold Begas, the sculptor, completes the list.—New York Tribune. The Esthete CCASIONALLY the tlight drawing- room supplied a speci of the esthete as Du Maurier was then drawing him in Punch. His dress was a complete suit of black velvet and salmon-colored stockings; he joined the shooting party, but he generally fell down when the gun went off. That, however, did not prevent his charming the ladies. “You do not look well, Mr. Maudle,” said one of these. “Thanks. I am not ill; only tired. The fact is T picked a primrose in the wood yesterday; it seemed sick, and I have been sitting up all night with it.’—From Mr. Escott’s Country Houses. IGHTING the President,” said my Senator, after the compromise had been arranged, “fis an interesting and exciting occupation, but it |, is not so profiteble as it might be in these parlous times, because of the unfortunate and embarrass- ing mania our present President has for fighting back.” —Saturday Evening Post. 308 Correct Cravats Men of good taste are extremely critical in their choice ofa Cravat— it must be distinctive, handsome, refined, and above all correct.
