fHH’How to Be Fashionable , Your Dressmaker can not make you fashionable. She can make a stylish dress for you, but whether you will appear fashionable or not depends altogether upon your To be fashionable, you must be shapely, proportionately "slender, and graceful. Then no matter how simple your frock'may be, you will be attractive. And again, ask about the construction of a corset before you buy. Don’t judge a corset solely by its looks. The permanancy of HENDERSON shape lines of your corset and Fashion Form the service it. should give are deCorsets pendent wholly upon the corset. Henderson’s Corsets have double bones and side" stays, which are enclosed in a double stripping. The front clasp is especially reinforced and will not break, and all metal parts of these corsets are absolutely nonrustable. We urge you to buy a Henderson Corset, because we feel confident you will get more style, satisfaction and wearing value from these models than from any other you have fiver worn. E. Van Arsdel & Co.

ANOTHER RENSSELAER BOY WHO HAS MADE GOOD.

Harve Robinson President of Sentinel Butte Bank and Member of North Dakota Legislature. The following article about an old Rensselaer boy who has made good in the west is taken from the Sentinel Butte, N. Dak., Republican. TJie subject of the sketch is Harve Robinson, a brother of Warren Robinson, who graduated from the Rensselaer high school. The sketch of his life shows the possibility of hustle and ambition. Th 6 paper says: The subject of this sketch, Hon. Harve Robinson, of Sentinel Butte, N. D., -was born January 31, 1867, at Rensselaer, Ind. After graduating from the high school of that city he attended the Purdue University of Indiana, In the spring of 1891 Mr. Robinson came west and for ten years followed the business of “cowpuncher” in western North and eastern Montana, much of Abe time bpjng with the ”777” outfit, owned, by Berry Boice Cattle' company in Billings county. This occupation gave him a wide acquaintance all over that of the country and in the fall of 1900 he was elected county .treasurer of Billings county, which position he held for four years with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituency. During his experience as a cow puncher Mr. Robinson, by careful economy and strict attention to business, acquired a number of cattle pf his own, and during , late years has been one of the large stock owners of western North Dakota. After leaving the treasurer’s office Mr. Robinson accepted a position with the Interstate Bank of Billings county, of which institution he was a stockholder, and soon afterwards was elected its first president.' He has been honored by his fellow men with many positions of. trust and confidence and, for the past ten years, bas.Jjeen chairman pf the republican county central committee of Billings county. His popularity practically forced him- to become a candidate for the legislature in 1910 to representthe 39 ; th legislative district, tol which tpositipn he was elected by an overwhelming majority. In July, 1899, Mr. Robinson was married to Miss Jennie Gilbert, of Sentinel Butte, who.,,passed to the Gfeat , Beyond in geptenihpr, ,19081 Three children, one boy and two girls, have blessed this union.

W© have just unloaded two cars of potatoes; one of fancy Michigan sand grown table stock and one car of Northern Minnesota, Early Ohios, Early Rose, Six Weeks and Burbanks. Look at our stock and get our prices. JOHN EGER. A number of friend's gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Davenport last evening, the occasion being Mr. Davenport’s thirtieth birthday. The table was beautifully appointed with a center decoration of carnations and geraniums, artistically arranged. A delicious supper was served. Grover Ritchey was taken to Longcliff e Sunday. Sheriff Hoover was assisted by Wilbur Ritchey and George Michael. The father of the unfortunate young man thinks his condition is due to stomach trouble. It is believed that the treatment at the asylum will restore his mind. His wife and baby are at the home of his father, O. K. Ritchey. Sol Norman was down from Uniqn township today. The temperance forces of that township are planning to circulate a remonstrance and get it on file before the Ist of May. It is understood that a Fair Oaks citizen is planning to engage in the saloon business and the temperance forces think they can file a successful remonstrance and thus the expense of an election. ' Mrs. J. W. Pierce’s new farm house, south of town, is one of the best farm buildings erected in this part of Jasper county for some time. The barn, which stood on the east side of the road, where the house burned several weeks ago, is being removed to the location of the new house, which is on the west side of the range line road. Mrs. Pierce is thinking some of moving to the farm. On our last sale of jelly in 5-pound pails we had a demand far beyond our supply and ran out, and to those that were disappointed, we are going to give them another chance and will place on sale this week, 10 dozen more at 20c a pail. JOHN EGER. When in need, remember that fine country lard at The Home Grocery.

Attorney Emery Sellers was over from Monticello this morning. We reminded him that Rensselaer was 225 people larger than Monticello. “Not if we would take in East Monticello,” said Emery. “We would be if we took in the college,” we answered. “Then we would have to take in the poor farm,” quoth Emery. “Many occupants at the poor farm?” we asked. “No, but a mighty fine building; why, it don’t make a dashed bit of difference whether a fellow over there makes any money or not, he can live better at the poor farm than he Can at home.” Then up spoke some traveling man and reminded Emery that they had a good city ball over there. The bus was backing up at the Makeever house, and Emery looked over at our fire engine house. “What’s that,” he queried, “a city hall or a hitch barn?” Gee, these Monticello people are chesty.

Many People Saw the Queer Light in The West Last Night.

Many readers of The Republican were on the lookout for the “airship” in the west last night They were not disappointed. The light made its appearance. Some pronounced it an aeroplane and said they could see the moving body of a man inside of it. Some thought it to be a baloon. Some say that it was nothing more than a . star, bttt they evidently did not look in the right direction, for this light is plainly artiQaial. Watch Dor it' again tonight.
