A jacket capable of seven diff
ferent changes is the newest thing

That the task of civilizing the
Indians is hopeless one is shown
by the protest of the Cheyennes

It may not be SO easy to send
ex-Banker Spalding, Of Chicago,
to the penitentiary as it seems.
The judge before whom he is being
tried on a dozen or two different
indictments holds that although
he has undoubtedly embezzled

bezzle can be shown he is not
guilty under the law. AS intent
in any crime is one of the most
difficult things in the world to
prove, Spalding may yet go free.
