THANKSGIVING Cooking Main.

There is a movement on foot among
local sports who are fond of cock fight
ing to have tournament of that kind
in the vicinity Of this city on Thanks
giving day. The matter hasn't as
sumed any tangible shape as yet and
is no wise an assured go. But it is
hoped by the lovers of the sport that
the project will be carried through to
completion. 1t has been the custom to
have cooking main each Thanksgiv-
ing and as the one last year was such
success from cock-fghter's point OF
view, admirers of the sport hope for a
similar event on the Goth inst. If ii
does not come off, a number of Park
ersburgers will go to Circleville, where
there is one slated to occur on that
date. e.-Parkersburg Journal.

The separate bodice continues in
vogue, ever charming us with the
beauty of its outlines. Especially Is this
true of the evening bodice, which for
The bewitchery of it's makeup was
never cqualed. The following are some
of the materials now being worn:
A green mousseline that smells OF
the sea, with lace braid applique and
embroidered in paillettes of iridescent
colors.
Cream chiffon, appliqued with dead
white satin caught down with gold
braid.
Black chiffon with white applique
lace.
Cloth of gold, so soft that it can hard
ly be called cloth of gold, worked over
with silver thread in the tracery of
which, here and there, turquoise CLEAN.
Pale pink chiffon embroidered with
Marie Antoinette ribbon.
Yellow mousselinc embroidered in
delicate fine blue blossoms.
From these examples it is readily seen
that applique work is the favorite. As
a. rule, the appliquing is very lightly
done, and interferes in no way with the
"drape' of the material. When it does,
however, plain material is used in COM
bination.
Tulle, dotted with paillettes, is so
charming that it should not be omitted

Natural Spring Which Enabled Him to

An English explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria. the locality in

From these springs, he says, it is

scraping it off the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and take the
material off to the bodybuilding yards,
where it is used for covering the boats
and gouphas, after undergoing a cer-
tain refining process.

quite warm and apparently charged
with some mineral which it deposits
in its rocky bed as it flows away
(through channels and crevices which
the bitumen cannot pass) from the
basin, coating it with lovely lilac
color, which further down the stream
becomes "peacocll" blue.

diligence. which sometimes. but by no
means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get large proletariat liv-
ing, as that of ancient Rome md pos.
sibly of ,Nineveh and Babylon did, ou
the aims Of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions OF
n thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no one Gun wonder at the rapid
decay of such cities and of the nations
which gloried in them. But where the
honest working class far outnumbers
the proletarint, where the middle
classes of distributors and manufac-
turers and professional men are labor
ious and energetic, and even the class
that lives on it's accumulated wealth
contains considerable sprinkling of
serious and disintcrested workers, we
DO not believe that there is the smallest
evidence Of any greater danger in the
life of the city than in the life Of the
agricultural village of the pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreiner's picture of the life of the
modern Beers ns Indicating condi-
ton of things more prolific of morbid
elements, with it's almost complete abb
sence of any stirring or active intelli-
gence, than any kind of modern life
that is honestly laborious at all. The
Doer life is too sleepy, too destitute of
stirring thought or effort, to be alto
gcther natural. 1t needs at least the
old element of danger and necessary
vigilance to render it even bracing.

Brocade, while worn chiefly by the

The proper beast for a grizzly bear
hunter to ride is a good mule. DR.. W.
F. Edgar, United States army, tells in
Recreation why a mule is best. The
doctor was wandering near a camp up
n Washington state on n mule. He
had his rifle with him, and, seeing q
big bear in the trail, fired. The bear
tumbled over and out of sight. 1t looked
like clean kill, and the doctor start
ed toward the place, and was nearly
in sight of the hollow where the bear
had disappeared, when the bear climbed
up over the edge and went for him.
It was then that the mule was of the
utmost service. The mule rose on it's
hind feet, turned sharply around, anil
headed for camp. A horse or a mustang
wouldn't have been quick enough, the
bear was SO close, but all the hunter
had to do was to hang on. The mule
knew what to do without being told.

in the form of a production OF an arabian
play, says tie New York Recorder. 1t is a

Inmaking garrangementsfor the product ion
of his play, Ella Ei-Hajia has been greatly
handicapped by the difficulty in obtaining
Syrian women willing to go on tie stage,
even as amateurs.
Having no theaters in their own countries,
this is q natural prejudice on the part OF
the Syrian women, and TO ma Ike ii more dir-

reputa bic person.
'Princess NaJla'' will be the first play
written originally in the Arabic language.

forthe first time to a theatrical performance
on March 4, at Chickering Han. the play
presented that night was entitled ''Androm-
