tunity to witness what they are to portray
upon the stage. Those who do not make these
studies frequently amuse the physicians in the
audience very much.
"There is a prominent actor now starring in
q role wherein he is supposed to receive gum
shot wound in the head that proves fatal while

The Odd Hiding Places of Yaluables In Wax

It was In the concealment of Yaluablss that

Rarely left above ground, these vsluablss were
| buried in all sorts of places. and all sorts OF
means were taken to leave no sign that the
earth had been disturbed.
Some persons preferred to dig holes In the
woods where the spot could be covered with
leaves or pine needles. A favorite choice was
by the side of the briery fence-corners, In re-
mote, unfrequented fields, especially IT, - was
usually the case in untitled fields, thickst OK
young pines shut in the spot.
Behind dense screen of this kind small
packages were often buried in the day time;
otherwise, all such work had, Of course, TO be
dore under the cover of darkness. Sometimes,
to make assurance doubly sure, small brook
would be damned, the treasure rendered a
near waterproof as possible, buried in the bed
beneath, and then the water allowed to resume
its former channel.
1t will be seen at glance that, so far as dam
ger of discovery was concerned, the mode was
the safest of all, provided it could be carried ous
unobseryed. The concealer did not need to
make track on the terra frms, either in ap-
preaching or leaving the spot, for he had be-
fore him the Indian path of running WATER

However, only articles of small bulk could

of ours had several very fine gold watches, one
of them at least valued family heirloom,
whose safety caused him much anxiety.
After earnestly considering every possible
mode of concealing them, he finally decided 20

flannel, were placed therein, the jar was

though the enterprise of the ubiquitous
negro opOssum hunter rendered this mode
somewhat precarious. Such places being the
favorite retreat of the opossum, there was dam
ger that he might issd his pursuers straight to
the selected cleft or hollow, and, IN getting MIN
out they could scarcely fail TO discover other
conteuts of the lair.
In one instance this really did occur. gen.
tleman having concealed q watch and some
valuable diamonds in small hollow tree, was
startled on accommodating the place few days
later, to find that the tree had not only been
felled, but actually split open. He had given
up his property for lost, when he happened TO
spy it buried in the leaves, where it had
dropped as the trunk was rent asunder. For
tunately the sable hunter had been too eager
after his quarry to have an eye for anything
else.

has a hat that we'll illustrates this point. The
trimming is of soft silk in plaid colors, tied in
q rather large bow at the side. Sometimes a
quill is thrust through the bow. The hats are
turned up at the side, back, or are left plain,
whichever is most becoming. The prettIest
shapes in the sailor hats are low.crowned, and
trihe narrower at the sides than in the front
and back. This relieves the hat of the circular
effect, and makes it becoming. Then tho brims
are not quite 80 wide, and many of the MILL
ners take off row or two from the two wide
brims, making vast improvement for most
people. Around the crown in these simply
trimmed hats the ribbon is twisted loosely.

Now is the season for corn napkins. They

There are many objections to the all-black
gown, but inasmuch as women generally feel lost
without at least one of them, they will be
worn whether they are purely artistic or not.

all the gowns were of that somber shade. The

Yes. A note acknowledging the attention

objectionable. There is one time when thu
note is not necessary, and that is when the
flowers are to be worn while keeping IN en-

it would be more graceful to thank him when
you wear the flowers, ss you are certain 70 see

This brings the richest of the cream up, and
when it is cool it will be almost as thick as

Another thing much discussed in the papers
is cigaret-smoking among the women. From
some accounts one might imagine that women
and girls are, as a rule confirmed smokers, and
that it is only the unsophisticated ones who
were not up to the highest notch of civiliza-
ton, who object. That is perfect nonsense.
No refined woman that you or I or anybody
else knows either smokes herself or counte-
nances other women smoking. Whether it is
wrong or not is not the point; that the women
are not in the habit of smoking is fact.

Four Anarchists shoot "a Polish Official
from Ambush.
BERLIN, April 8.-A remarkable story
comes from Koscileg, q village near
Inowrazaw, q town of Prussia, PROV
ince of Posen. DR.. Poninsky, a high
Polish ecclesiastic, who was travelling
through koscileg, was waylaid by
four men who were apparently wait
ing for him, and before he could
make single attempt to either
defend himself or escape, all four OF
them fired at him with revolvers. The
Doctors body was rlddled with bullets,
and he died almost instantly. A num-
Der of villagers pursued the assassins,
who had taken to flight, and finally
brought them to bay. The assassins
made a desperate fight against arrest,
but two of them were finally shot dead
by the pursuers.
The place in which the assassins had
sought refuge from their pursuers was
in locality from which escape by re-
treating was not possible, and the re-
naming two murderers determined to
sell their lives as dearly as
possible. They refused to heed
the demands made upon them to
surrender, and undeterred by the late
of their comrades, they continued firing
upon their would-be captors. Finally
they exhausted all their cartridges ex-
cept two, one in each of their revolvers.
Tie attacking party, none of whom had
been injured, surmised that the assas-
sins supply of ammunition had run
out, and they made rush to capture
the two men. The latter saw them
coming and, preferring death to cap
ture, they placed their revolvers to
their heads and blew out their brains.
The bodies were searched, and on one
of them was found a red ticket on
which was printed the words: exc
cution Committee Of the Polish An
archists.'
DR.. Ponisky, without DOUBT, had, by
his utterances or actions, incurred the
enmity of the Anarchists, and the four
men were unquestionablv appointed by
the central Anarchist body to murder
him. The affair has caused the deepest
indignation wherever the details are
known, and the most strenuous efforts
will be made to search out and punish
the conspirators.
