APPLE BLOSSOMS.

IT'S not time to toll or think,
For languid Is the warmth that crswls
From yonder blue horizons brink,
Over the winding orchard walls,
To nestle in the white and pink
OF apple blossoms.
Nor yet time to moan and sig2s
For cheerful is the light that idafa
Out OF the cloarness OF the silly
TO mfngle In the mist that sleeps
The fragrant foliage--low and high
AL apple blossoms.
Rather, time to sleep and sing:
To sleep-amid dreamy maze
OF petals downward huttering,
To sing-when our awaking gaze
Doth greet new pledges OF the spring
New apple blossoms.
Season OF promises that shoot
Inspiring CLEANS across our way,
Moldtng and mellowing seed and root
For harvest in that golden day
When here will flush the ripened fruit
or apple blossoms
How all thy varied notes affirm
That Youth and Passion never die,
But merge their crudeness In term
OF rich and calm maturity
AS autumn's glory hath Its germ
In apple blossoms

NINETY-FoUR's SUMMER GIRL.
She VIII BE Dainty Study in Artistic
Fluffs and Frills.


Fluffs and Frills.
When the summer girl of '94 is ready
for inspection she will be delightful
combination of flutiiness, quaint de-
mureness and piquancy. This COM
posite effect is new. 1t results entirely
from her dainty gowns. She is what
they make her. White mousseline de
sole, because of its flimy simplicity, is
the material most favored for after
noon gowns.
The following is one of the fashion
able ways of treating it. Corn-colored
taffeta is used for the foundation. 1t
is rather an expensive lining, costing
one dollar yard. but the effect of the
softened tint of color cleaning through
the mousseline is exquisite. The full
skirt is made plain, with the exception
of pert bows of corn-colored ribbon ar
ranged in groups near the hem. The
bodice is simplicity itself. 1t is soft
and girlish and confined at the waist
by broad band of corn-colored ribbon
which ties at the erect bow at the left
side The sleeve is a fluffy, up-to-date
affair. with corp-colored ribbon
separating the two largest puffs. White
mousseline de sole may be made up in
much the same manner over a founda-
ton of either green or violet silk.

Washing Cotton Dresses.

If cotton dresses are properly made
there is no reason why they should not
be washed many times. To make up
satines and ginghams with boned
basques, heavily lined skirts and vel
vet bound edges is an absurdity. Bod
ices and skirts may be made together,
betting in by means of a draw ribbon,
which, being loosened, reduces the
gown to straight lines without folds.
The frills and flounces about the Shout
ders are all set on draw ribbon head
ings. and can also be let out fiat. The
big sleeves are supplied with an arm
hole set with a draw ribbon. by which
it is narrowed for wear and widened

used also for wash dress designs, these
bodices being practically two straight
sash pieces. There are no bones
Lace, if used on these gowns, is of good
heavy. washable really more to be used
than lace. If ribbon is employed it is
made into bows easily adjusted and re
moved. or it is used under insertion of
lace or embroidery, and so can be pulled
out when the gown goes to the tub.

rounds. In the first Keller rushed and
swung heavily and landed once on
Fitzslmmon's phiz and chased him to
his corner as time was called. In the
second, Fitzsimmons walked over to
Keller's corner, poked him once on the

Jack Osakn Kills Shintah, a Sis

OUTLAW TO BE SHOT ON SIGHT
The Murders Hands Dyed with Family
Blood Before He Killed His

CoULEE CITY, WASH, July 27.-Jack
Osakin, q nephew of Chief M oses OF the
Coiville Indian reservation, Is an ont
law alike from Indian and the white
mans justice. He is hiding In the
mountains of the western part of the
reservation, and Chief Moses has given
orders that he be shot on sight.
Osakin's crime is the most atrocious
known to man. On the Goth of July
he shot and killed his own mother
Shintah by name. Shintah is full
sister of Chief Moses, and the old chief
is grief-stricken. To quote his own ex-
preston, he has ''very sick heart in
his breast"
Particulars of the crime have not yet
been received. Osakin's hands were
dyed with family blood before he killed
his mother. Last December he slew
his own brother, the favorite nephew
of Chief Moses and designated heir to
the chleitainship of the tribe. Princes
of the blood being few, Moses was 10th
to see Osakin hung for the previous
crime. . He used his influence to save
the murderer, pleading in justification
that the two were engaged in n drunk
en- quarrel and that both were equally
tor blame. Osakin was cleared. ana
was looked upon as Chief Moses. sue

The Indian police and reservation

unlimited command of funds, the com.
bine may be expected to make some
interesting moves in the national po-
