Richly Deserved.

Pillsbury, the champion chess-player
of America is possessed of fund of
quaint humor, as London policeman
knows to his cost.
In reply to the Americans query,
"How can I reach King William
streetp" the policeman said, "Yoa can
take cab, or you can take bus, or.
as it is only 200 yards from here, you
can walk.'
"Oh, j" said Pillsbury, with one of his
best smiles, 81 know can walk, but
what want to know is the way!''
After being instructed, Pillsbury put
his hand is his pocket as if to produce
the necessary doucerr, and asked:
"Will you take drinkPn
Robert, having expressed his hearty
willingness, Pillsbury went on: "Well,
you had better go and get one; and you
can either pay for it yourself, get some-
one else to pay for it, or take it with

A Great Dog.

"That pointer of mine is a great
dog" declared Howard Vernon, as he
petted his $1,000 dog Glenbeigh. 81
can always depend on him. When he
makes point I know that he has
scented bird and 1 know that he will
not move a muscle while I have a
chance at that bird.
81 was hunting quail up at Point
Reys last month when lost Glenbeigh.
l knew he must be pointing in the brush
somewhere, but 1 looked everywhere
for him and could not find him. The
next day resumed the search, with no
better success, but on the third day I
found him in dense thicket, standi ng
perfectly rigid. with his tail sticking
straight out behind and one foot up.
A quail had run into hollow tree, and
the cog stood at the opening pointing.
The quail dared not come out, and the
dog, true to his training, wouldn't
move. He had been standing in that
position, without so much as moving
foot, for sixty-fiye hours, and when I
tried to lead him away he could not
walk.

IHE CURFEw Law.

Its Benefits Conceded by Every Conn
munfty in Which One Is In Effect.
Edward W. Box, in the September
Ladies' Home Journal,o reviews the
provisions and operations of the curfew
ordinance, which, in yariously modified
forms, has been adopted by municipal
legislative bodies in the West. He
gives hearty endorsement to the law,
and asserts that, although it met with
general opposition at first, there is not
a city or town in which it has been en-
forced, that would have it abolished.
wherever the curfew ordinance has
gone into effect" Mr.. Box contends,
"its advantages have been conceded.
This is true now Of over three hundred
towns and cities, some as large in pop
ulation as Omaha and Topeka. In
each case the excellence of the law has
become apparent, opposing parents
have conceded its wisdom, and even
children are said to be pleased with it.
1t has placed in the hands of the police
a most effective weapon for clearing
the streets of hoodlums at night, and
in many case where disorder reigned at
street corners quietness, law and order
how prevail. So well has the ordinance
worked that reports, gathered from not :.
less than forty of the towns where it
is law, show that the fineo or imprison-
ment penalty has not been inflicted in
a single case. The first caution has
served the purpose. These reports
show, too, that the ordinance is not
enforced in any oppressive manner.
In the case of evening winter or sum-
mer entertainments, which would keep
the children out later than the curfew
hour, authority is easily obtained and
readily granted by the mayor or town
official for an extension of the time.
Its rigid enforcement is applied most
strictly to the hoodlum element, and
with this class the police claim they
have never been able to deal SO success
fully. 1t will be at once obvious to all
right-minded parents, think, that
they should give the weight of their
influence to the curfew ordinance
wherever it may be presented. Taken
from any and every standpoint it is an
excellent thing, and it may wisely be
encouraged by parents all over. our

POCKETS AND BUTTONS.

POCKETS AND BUTTONS.
| Women never look smarter than
when in ta;lor-made gowns. It is re.
markable that the frocks ef heavy
cloth, cut in severely plain style, suit
every kind of woman. If she has a
good figure the tailor-made gown sets
it off; if she has bad figure, the gown
improves it so that it appears good. In
view of these facts it is good news to
every one that the tailor-made gown
will be more in evidence this coming
autumn and winter than for many
years.
The patterns will be mostly shot
goods, with some solid colors. There
will be greens. browns, black and
dozens of shades of gray. They will
be in all kinds of combinations, and
most of them will be pleasing to the
eye, according to the manufacturers.
As for the make of the gowns, they
will be rather more ornamented than
has been the case. They are to have
buttons, large and small, and of all
kinds of material and make. The but
tons will be put OIL wherever there is
room for them and will be attached for
ornament as much as for utility. There
will be pockets in the coats and pockets
in the skirts. A determined effort
will be made to supply women with
receptacles for the small baggage that
they always carry about with them,
and that is generally clutched fever
ishly in the hand for lack of anywhere
else to keep it. Altogether there is a
prospect of much comfort as well as
style in the tailor-made gowns for the
fall and winter. As for the prices
well, that is another story.
