THE CATLESS AUDITOR.
The Cat Was Once White. but Time
and Paint Had Changed It's Looks.


From the Grafton Record.
Frank Briggs, North Dakota's popular
auditor has lost his cat Mr.. Briggs and
family feel the loss keenly; it has heen in
the family for twelve years. having been
present to Mr. Briggs father when kitten.

but no one ever blamed the cat in the mat

be blamed. When Mr.. Briggs moved from
Mandan to Bismarck, few weeks ago, he
carried the furniture and Mrs. Briggs car

NEEDLE WAS FOUND.
And the New Photography Saved the
Seamstress' Life.

And the New Photography Saved the
Seamstress' Life.
Berlin Letter to New York Journal.
The Central Roentgen Photograph Asso-
citation, recently organized for the purpose
of promoting experiments with the cathode
ray, has already established a large labora-
tory in Berlin.
The first Berliner to benefit by the won
derful discovery of DR.. Roentgen was p
poor young seamstress, who had swallowed
needle.
Every day of her existence since seemed
an age of agony. Her physician despaired
OF her case, as the poor woman could not
retain the lightest food on her stomach
Frequent spells of vomiting increased her
uncomfortable tortures.
1t was NOTICED that the patient expector-
ated blood early mornings, which caused
the doctor to surmise that the needle was
imbeided somewhere in the lining of the
stomach, causing flow of blood at every
sudden movement.
The physician called an eminent surgeon
of the university staff in consultation, who
did not believe that her life could be saved
as the 1ncessant expectora tions of blood
gave evidence of considerable liberation
having ensued. 1t was determined, as q
dernfer resort to bring the patient to the
Roentgen laboratory in the hope that the
ray would locate the needle, and that
the same might be extracted without en-
dangerinS the young woman's life
40 the great JOY OF all interested. the ex-
pertinent at the laboratory this afternoon
proved brilliant success
a camera holder containing a sensitized
plate was placed against heavy block of
woo6 at one side of the barred breasts of
the patient, who, In order to secure a
steady position, was bound to the back Of a
heavy oaken chair.
When all was in readiness the electric
light was turned on, and after five minutes
the current was cut off, the bandage loosen
ed and the plate taken to the dark room for
development.
All felt highly gratifed at the results, as
the plate plainly showed every bone of the
UPPER part of the body, and the needle was
found lying point downward in the lower
right angle of the stomach. It's position
accounted for the patients loss of blood,
as it would puncture the flesh whenever
she would get up from the chair or bed.
Surgeons being present, 1t was resolved
to remove the needle at once. The patient
was placed under the influence of chloro-
form, and the cause of her excruciating suf-
ferings. which threatened her life, was
taken from the stomach by skillful surgical
manipulatfons.
The patient is doing well tonight and is
pronounced entirely out Of danger

"whoso is not for me is against me-
When Mary E. Wilkins came to New
York the first winter during which the big
sleeves were worn, she went to literary
reception. and that remark of hers which
was quoted most widely was no question
of problem novels or of idealism in art
Aren't their big sleeves just cunning"
said Miss Wilkins, with pardonab!e en-
thusiasm, speaking of the pretty girls
present.

BARE-NECKED SKATERS.
Holland Women Appear on the Ice
With Ball Gown Bodices.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
We are accustomed to see women bundled
up in furs as they glide over the ice. To
witness woman's race in Holland would
give us a greater chill than to meet ghost
at midnight. A correspondent for the New
York Herald in mentioning a contest on
skates describes Il as follows:
1T was showing slightly. but in every
available moment between the races troops
of men were told to clear off the course.
AT given signal six women started for the
first race. They were dressed in very short
skirts and transparent-looking blouses, low
necked, with no sleeves at ALL We were
told they were from among the lower peas
ant people, and that the shop classes never
entered the lists at all. The speed they
went at was quite wonderful, and especially
remarkable at the corners. For the most
part they raced with their arms behind
them, but the girl who Won the prize (f2)
skated with hers folded in 'front.'
Bare arms and necks in n,idwinter, Our
physicians think women are courting death
by wearing low-necked dresses in ball
rooms. What mustsi be to wear them as
outing costumes?

Some of the Latest Novelties and Sux-
HestiOns.
Violet and blue seems to be a favorite
combination this year, and I was surprised
to see two young ladies making their pre-
lenten visits arrayed the one in a blue
velvet skirt; the other in one of violet
Rich, heavy velvet has supplanted satin
for skirts among the ultra fashionable
probably because satin was within reach of
the ordinary mortal and was, therefore,
getting common. The velvet skirt in any
desirable shade is worn with fancy waists
IN the same way as the black silk and So tin
skirts have been Worn for two years
A pretty wrap for matron reaches to
the bottom OF the dress and follows the
lines Of the figure. 1t does not come to-
gether in front, but has silk or null front
that is little full. Large lace revers stand
out past the shoulders reaching down to
within four inches of the waist, and below
them on each side are two buttons.
Ladies of middle age may congratulate
themselves that the small hat is going to
be the correct thing this spring.
young girl or budding woman Is be-
witching in picture hat, but woman
who is beginning to fade is made less at

her charmlessness.
dress for young girl Of twelve years
may be made all in one The skirt is gath
cred on the waist, and for waist trimming
tHeic 10 d oouDle collar crossed at the side
over the hip. A large hat trimmed with
knots of ribbon is correct for girl of this
age.
For younger miss, a dress with a
square Suipure yoke and the bodice gath
cred on is very pretty. The yoke is bor-
dered with velvet ribbon run through
buckles at the corners. Velvet ribbon forms
the belt with a buckle on each side the
front. Another band of velvet goes around
the skirt and does not quite meet in front,
terminating in a buckle on each side This
band Is about five inches from the bottom.
Bishop sleeves are finished with a plain
band that forms the cuff.
Sleeves are so long for both old and young
that some of the gloves have only one but
ton-a fashion which will remind many a
grandmother Of her young days and set
her to dreaming of the youthful gallant who
perhaps held that glove with the hand in
it in days gone by.
Speaking Of old fashions that are res
directed, had been told that visiting cards
are to be made much smaller, to admit of
being carried in the tiny silver or gold card
cases that are coming in with the other
Louis XVI styles. If this rumor proves
true, 1t will be an easy matter to have one 8
cards trimmed to be proper size at any
printers stablishment-much easier than
1t will be to change back when the wheel
turns around again.
