stood at the east margin of the channel
at a point northwest from the st. Paul

perform the ceremony. Another couple

coming from Ruth's violin. A wonder
full sight greeted him. Seated on the
rock was Ruth, playing her violin,wh
about her were probably fifty rattle
snakes, some of them monsters, and all
seemingly charmed by the music
Wilder and wilder grew the music.
and the snakes tumbled over each other
in reptilian ecstasy. Then the music
changed to tones that carried with
them an order to retreat, and the rat
tiers gradually moved from the rocks
and disappeared in their den.
Ruth said that for six months she had
been visiting the rock, and at every visit
there occurred such scene as had been
witnessed by her father. She said that
about the same hour every evening she
felt such longing to visit the rock that
she could not resist. When urged to
cease visiting the rock Ruth said she
would rather die than desert the snakes.

They were walking together on ono
of the fashionable promenades. There
were two children in front of them, SO
that 1t was not possible to see the lower
part of their attire. Both wore short
English top coats, box-shaped and
double breasted, above which glistened
q snowy shirt bosom with collar and
necktie. Both wore derby hats oveI
hair that was parted in the middle. One
carried n cane, and the other? Well,
the children turned aside at that mo,
ment and revealed the fact that the
other wore petticoats.
Up to this moment the couple looked
like pair of English dudes, out for q
promenade on the boulevard, and ons
trembled to think what confusion
might arise if boomers or "knickers'
should finally gain the day, and ga
walking as well as pedalling about the
streets.
A long time ago, when we "Grcek let,
ter girls" were wont to give the "fresh.
les" sisterly instruction in the myster
les of lancers and other fancy dances,
we were in the habit of tying a ribbon
or handkerchief on the sleeve of her
who took the "gentleman's part" in the
dance. What II we should have to re-
sort to such device in order to avert
tho confusion arising from too gen.
eral adoption of the bloomer!
The tailor-made gown, however, in
stead of contributing to bring about
any such result, throws its weight on
the conservative side of the question.

just as many godets as the fluffiest kind

The dress materials this year are not
OF the smooth kind so dear to the lady's
tailor, but that does not hurt the tail.
or's business even if it does CRATE upon
his artistic feelings. lie sets himself
to work to devise a new fashion in his
line Of business. The rough goods
makes up better In loose-fitting gowns
than In the glovelike garments that
nre made of lady's cloth.
A suit of boucle with a box Jacket
has therefore been evolved as the cor
rect street gown of the season. The
box jacket may be little longer than
the coats that do not match the dress,
but the four large buttons at the corner
are as fashionable on the jackets of
suits as they are on the outside coats.
For very handsome street dresses, to
be worn without wraps, the smooth
cloth is still preferred. The dull blue
shade is favorite in this kind of ma
terial, especially in combination with
white. One of the illustrations shows
a tailor gown Of this description made
of dull blue and white broadcloth, with
buttons and mink fur as tri2ming.
The dress is cut princesse style-a fa-
vorite with ladies' tailors-and Is
trimmed around the bottom with straps
of white running up at different
lengths, and finished with fancy but
ton. There is mink collar around the
neck, below which is large yokelike
collar of white broadcloth, trimmed
with buttons and mink edges. Two
strips OF white outline the figure down
the front, reaching seven or eight
inches below the waist. A round dull
blue hat with q white band and black
feathers completes costume that is
decidedly striking.
Another street dress that shows an
attempt to introduce the basque is Of
light tan material, combined with
brown velvet. The skirt is trimmed
with strips of brown ribbon of vary
ing lengths-a trimming which is very
fashionable, by the way. The bodice,
besides it's ripple basque, has bolero
,f fancy embroidered material, with
brown velvet front and sleeves. A tan
Alpine hat trimmed with loops of
Brown velvet is worn with this dress,
slso ecru gloves With brown stitching.

Speaking of gloves suggests the fact
that there are some very important
changes to be noted in handwear this
season. The most fashionable glove is
the one with two clasps-not buttons,
for buttons are out of date, except on
evening gloves. The clasps are the
kind seen on mems gloves. Perhaps
this Is one of the marks of the new
woman's progressiveness. A glove
that must be buttoned and sometimes
involves masculine assistance is sort
of badge of dependence. Those large
buttons were step in the same direc-
tion, and were convenient in many
ways. l know of one young woman
who cut the buttons off her worn-out
glove and sewed them on her dress to
replace some that had been lost.
Gloves in two tints are correct. White
gloves, as well as ecru and other light
tints, have black stitching. Black
gloves are stitched with white or law
cnder. There is style of glove that is
made up of two shades of kid. For in
stance, black glove has white kid be-
tween the fingers with white stitching
to match, or lavender kid with lavender
stitching.
Green gloves are fashionable, bright
verdure green as well as the sage tint.
A sort of reddish purple is also bidding
for favor. But the light yellows and
pearl grays are preferred before any
tint. The stitching on the back is usu-
ally very heavy. Women like heavy
stitching because it makes the hand
appear small.
"The child is father to the man." So
says an old proverb, with reference to
boys, but it really applies better to the
other sex, especially in matters pertain
ing to dress. Dress small girl we'll
and she becomes an incipient heart
breaker whether she has natural beau-
ty or not. She forms the habit of car
rying her clothes well, without which
no woman can hope to be attractive.
Good clothes have their effect upon the
character quite as much as good looks.
Any pretty woman will tell you that
she can walk better and talk better
when she is we'll dressed.
The pretty frocks and coats which
can be bought cheap are an indication
that customers have turned their atten-
tion to the small girl.
A very pretty red coat with broad rib
bon-trimmed collar can be bought for
five dollars. Boucle coats trimmed
with black Llama are also cheap.
A blue and brown boucle coat with
brown velvet trimmings and black
Llama makes pretty everyday wrap
for six-year-old miss.

Upon the sister being charged with
sorcery she was at once brought before
her brother and the Shaman. She wild
ly protested her innocence, and upon
her adhering to it she was bound and
severely beaten. Several days passed.
during which she was given no food,
and only enough water to moisten her
parched lips. Seeing her determined
not to acknowledge herself u witch and
responsible for his illness, Ahf Chat
struggled from the pile of skins which
had constituted his bed and plunged
his knife into the heart of his helpless
victim.
The Kakes know no fear, even of
death. Neither do they understand
such feeling as remorse. They have al
ways remained on their island unmo-
Tested, making their own laws and ad.
ministering them according to their
own ideas of justice. If the murderers
now Incarcerated in Sitka are hanged

deaths upon the decree Of the medicine

With the force at their disposal the
white authorities cannot enforce the

population the lesson they must some
time learn. The hope of the entire ter
ritory is now fastened upon the estab-

Terrible Crime Perpetrated by an

That murder will out" is well illus

named Ahf Chat, who is now prisoner
at Sitka, and whose case VIII be tried by
Judge Truitt at that officials last term
of court before retirement.
Ahf Chat was apprehended six weeks
ago by Deputy Marshal Harry Wallace,
of Wrangle, for implication in the muir
der of two traders on Koke island about
known to the authorities through his
ability to stow away more whisky than
any other member of the tribe, and also
on account of his fighting proclivities
when drunk. On account of past
deeds of lawlessness officers had
long been looking for him, but had
only recently become aware of graver
crimes the Indian had committed other
than those with which he had already
been charged.
Almost year ago young Kake girl
was cruelty murdered, after being
starved and beaten until death came as
relief. 1t was several months after
ward before it became known, and then
it was an impossibility to locate the
wretches who were responsible for the
infamous crime. A short time ago one
of the Kakes in the Sitka prison upon
seeing n new prisoner arrive, and with
whom he was apparently at enmity,
told the guards the tale of horror.
About ten months ago Ahf Chat had
been taken so i'll that medicine man
was called. When the sick mans fam
lily had piled up n stack of twenty
blankets the Shaman condescended to
begin his weird incantations. At the
conclusion Of the performance he in
formed the patient that he was a very
sick man, and that his sister was the
cause of it, declaring her to be a witch.

All children's coats have broad col

back all the way down the front with
an inserted vest between. One of those

Another stylish coat is double-breast-

Above the broad collar of the material
is one of astrakhan, which also forms
the cap.
1t is very simple matter to make a
child's coat, and much money can be
saved thereby. A very handsome piece
of boucle can be purchased for $3.50 a
yard, and one yard and half is sufi-
cient for coat for three-year-old
