Costly Feathers.

While there are probably hundreds
of men who make u business Of killing
birds for their feathers, says the Port
land OregOnian, the best-S nOwn of the
feather-hunters in the West is Hamlin
Smith, the white chief OF the COcopah
Indians. Their reservation includes
most of the land on Madeline Bay. In
the marshes of this broad sheet of wa
ter are found the egret heron, and crane
in large numbers Smith reached san
Francisco a week or 80 ago with sever
al bags of feathers, chiefly egret. The
load weighed less than four pounds,
but il netted SIr. Smith Sl572. Even
the heron's feathers come high. They
fetch at wholesale from s. To SlO an
ounce. One heron, Mr.. smith says,
will yield often feathers worth $50. III
herons are more plentiful than egret,
they are more profitable hunting, be-
cause there is only small tuft OF COW
ering on the egret that is marketable.

Mistakes Of Woman.

Dozens and dozens of women are
complaining Uud wondering constant
~ why it is that their clothes never
look as some other women's of their
acquaintance, or why they haven't the
style they see numerous women have
as they pass by. The reason lies prin-
cipally with themselves.
In the first place, dress, like every
thing else, requires care and thought
and of necessity little trouble. Some
women from this lack of thought and
inattention 10 their clothes after they
get them soon have them looking half
worn and sloUchy, and, therefore, not
nice. Gowns must be taken care of or
they will soon lose shape and fresh
hess.
On the other hand, many women are
50 very prim and particular, the effect
of their clothes is almost as bad as that
OF the careless women. She, the prim
body, desires very much TO be in style,
but from prudish idea of her own as
70 the unbecomingnesso of the thing, or
its very newness, she mOdifies the idea
and straightway spOils the whole thing
and takes all the style out of il. Lean
the gospel Of slightingness without be
ing slovenly; ifa thing is too precise
here or a bow too straight there it makes
all the difference in the world.
Don't be too conservative in your
tastes don't he afraid to adopt new
ideas. \ great many women see a
thing, and fearful lit will not be worn, !"
wait until the style is almost passed be-
fore having anything Of theirs made
that way, and consequently theirs is
old style, while the progressive wOma n
has had that and gone on to something
new. BE observing kesp your eyes
open when with other women and
when going throughthe shops. Above
all, if you wish To be stylish, have your
gown well cut and to fit and hang
nicely this is more than half the bat
tie.

Wasted Patriotism.

Admiral Jouett lives at Sandy
Springs, Md, where the roads are no
better than in Dixie. He is an ardent
Republican, although son of the Blue
Grass State; and last election, when
heavy rains had made the roads almost
impossible, he shamed the stay-at-
homes by taking his son, James, Jr.,
through the mud and downpour to
their voting place. The journey home
in the dark, swimming through mud
to the hubs, was 50 disquieting that
they arrived profane and exhausted.
"Well," said the Admiral, " thank
heavens, that's over We've had a
hard pull of it, but it is the duty of ev-
cry citizen of the United States to vote
Say, JIM" he calculated fiercely, IL
voted the straight Republican ticket,
as usual. How did you vote?'' 4" Fa-
ther, we might as well have stayed at
home and paired" replied the son al
voted straight Democratic"

Remarkable Catch.

Mr.. Jones had come home very late
after day and part Of a night on the
river. He awoke very late the next
day and had lumpy feeling about his
head and an indistinct recollection Of
the manner in which he got home.

Mr.. Jones was not sure whether she
meant to be sarcastic or not; and he
had not the slightest idea whether he
had brought home any fish, but ON the
chance that he might have done so he
answered:

Mr.. Jones' eyes stuck out. Could it
be possible? Yet it would not do for
him to show surprise. Still, there was
some elatiOn in his voice when he said:
Beauties, aren't they
"Oh, yes, they're pretty enough, y
said Mrs. Jones, 'but why did you go
to bed without taking your fish out of

"Out Of my pockets - echoed Mr..
Jones in amazement.

With the things which we meant 10 achieve;

Lying about in the dust.

REQUEST REFORMS.

Grand Jury Makes an Elaborate and
Searching Report.
The territorial grand jury made the
following report to Judge Dale:
AS grand jury regularly empan.
elled for the September term Of the
district court in Logan county we have
examined into all matters properly
brought before us and have returned
indictments In all cases which in our
judgment justified prosecution and
where there were reasonRb Bile grounds
TO believe that a conviction could be
obtained, copies Of which indictments
are herewith submitted.
In closing our work as a grand jury
we desire TO make some observations
and recommendation.
In the course of our labors the in
justice OF the territorial statute re-
quiring the attendance OF witnesses
without any compensation has been
brought forcibly to our minds by set
ing before us witnesses who were suf-
fering privations because Of being
called a long distance to testify-going
without proper food, sleeping out OF
doors, etc. We feel IL our duty, there
fore, TO say that, in our opinion, the
law Is uniust-the burden OF putting
down aud Furnishing crime should fall
upon every citizen alike, not so much
more heavily upon the man who hap
pens 20 b. witness, and we also be-
ieve the law tends 10 defeat the ends
OF justice 10y causing witnesses to keep
knowledge of crimes to themselves.
After considering all the evidence
brought before as and looking over
the past records Of the county we can
out but see that crime is greatly on
tte decrease and believe that our
county Will compare favorably in that
regard with any other community any
" here In the nation.
We have visited and inspected the
county Jail, and would urge that bet
ter sanitary arrangements be made
there at once. The drainage is bad
the air offensive and much of filth
very noticeable. A general house
cleaning and scrubbing and a scaldinR
of all the blankets and utensils would
do a world OF good.
The quantity and quality OF food
given the prisoners is probably up to
the average in jails OF this class, but
they are not receiving such variety as
is necessary to proper nourish ment
and the keeping Of the body in a
healthy condition, and we would rec
ommend that they be given vegetables
in generous allowance at least once a
day and that they should also be given
a more liberal supply of fresh drink
ing water.
We would further recommend that
the provision of the territorial stat.
ute for the working upon the pnblic
highways OF prisoners serving out
fines and misdemeanor sentences be
taken advantage Of and that such pris-
oners as are included in this provisio n
be put TO work at once.
