The stranger dropped like a log. The
cowboy dismounted and looked at the
body of his victim.

The empire styles are particularly be-

And the style is so simple that it is In

takes fully year to entirely abolish

ican girl of today can get great deal Of
conquest and comfort out of that time.
At all the large social gatherings of
this season the putfed sleeves and the
gathered skirts have been oftcner seen
than any other style of dress for young
girls and matrons. was at reception
last night where there were many young
girls, and the pretty dresses they wore
somehow marked them as the fairest and
sweetest among the multitude of other
women dressed in the most extravagant
style.
One young girl had plain gown of
pearl gray cashmere, the skirt perfectly
PLAIN at tho bottom with q wide hem
which was feather stitched with white

This gown was worn by Miss Grace

who was so i'll in Paris n few months ago
that she was at one time thought to be

close and flat to the head, low in the
back of the neck, with very little hair
down over their foreheads. Some wore
none, but only such as had very pretty,
low foreheads. A few soft, light curls
certainly do add to beauty.
Young ladies wear little jewelry. One
or two pretty bracelets, delicate and
fine, a string of pearls or old fashioned
gold beads, or n thin little gold chain
with a quaint old locket medallion or
other family jewel, is about the extent.
Few wear earrings ut all, and the Euro

question. He caught half dozen of
these creatures, he says, and deliberately
put the question to the test. Arranging
on the floor n circle of glowing charcoal,
having no break in it, n scorpion was
placed in the center. Although the
circle was large enough TO prevent the
scorpion being injured or even incom-
moded by the heat if it remained In the
middle, the animal, finding itself sur
rounded by fire, began To look about for
the means of escape. At first its move
ments were slow. but soon its move
ments increased, and finally it raced in
a frantic fashion around the inner cir.

ing for some time in this manner, it re-
tired To the center of the ring, and, de
hherately plnnging its sting into its back,
put an end to its life in a few seconds
after few conyulsive movements. The
remaining five were tried successfully in
