there are few thoughts of the spirit

But the champions of Christianity
are ever watchful and a representa-
tive of the Christian religion is usu-
ally among the first to be on the
ground. Soon after the rush to
.Crecde began, a Methodist minister
went in with the crowd one day, and
the first man to whom he mentioned
the matter of desiring to build n
church was Browney Lee, noted
San Juan gambler. AS a rule. the
fraternity are enthusiastic over any,
thing new and are generous TO a
fault.
Browney invited the preacher to go
over to Watrous' saloon with him.
and he led the way. On entering the
room, in which at least hundred

or keno tables, "bucking the tiger
Browney jumped upon chair and
said: Boys, here is preacher and

down and the preache- was told to
step up. He did SO, and gave them
IN off-handed talk in true Western
style.
Strictattention was paid, and when

wanted to build church in the camp
and told them that he would solicit
subscriptions.
Browney got up and said that he
knew the boys well, and he would

gan dropping quarters and halves.
The gambler swore, and said: "D-p
1T, boys, put in bills. Coins don't go
In this hat"
He collected about 800, but did not
seem satisfied with the amount. He
told the preacher to go and he would
attend to it farther. The games
were reopened and the gambling
went on. Browney took the 800 and
bought chips with it and sat at a faro
. table. He played about an hour and
hauled out over 800 and then hunted
up the preacher and gave him the
winning as starter for the church,

Each Spoonful has
done its Perfect Work"

Is the verdict of every woman who has used Royal
Baking Powder. Other baking powders soon
deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking
Powder is carefully and accurately com
pounded from the purest materials that it retains
its strength for any length of time and the last
spoonful in the can is good the first, which
is not true of any other baking powder.

JEwELEp SHOE buttons.

1t is not unusual now to SEQ silver or
gold shoe buttons on the latest French
boots. These are not, of course, put
upon walking boots-but on those for
carriage, reception, Of, house wear, when
the boot is velvet, satin or brocade.
Their use is not uncommon. In some of
the French shops jeweled shoe buttons
have appeared, such as turquoise,
amethyst, garnets and Rhine stones, set
in silver or gold. A novelty is the tips
of silver or gold filigree for evening
slippers. These are made SO as to fit
snugly, and one pair will do for all the
slippers one wishes to wear. These tips
are delicately made in scrolls and other
pretty designs, are light and very open
work, SO that the slipper shines dis.
tinctly through them.
Heels, also, are to be seen which
match the tips. Evening slippers made
entirely of silk passementerie are new.
They are at present only made in Paris,
and come in every delicate shade, as
we'll as in black and white. The black
ones are particularly chic, showing the
entire foot, clad in its stocking Of blue,
pink, lilac, or yellow, 10 fascinating
way. A ribbon passed under the foot
and tied In bow upon the instep
secures these fairy slippers to the feet.
They are made with high heels, and the
ribbon of the same color as the slipper.
