Fashion Notes.

The fashionable garter harmonizes
with other lingerie.
Purple is one of the eolors taast fre-
ouently seen in the new gowns.
Artificial flowers sewed on narrow
ribbons made an effective trimming
for evening gowns.
Chatelaines continue to grow IN
popularity, and they are to be de
rigeur before long.
Gauze haircloth is now being used
to give the stability necessary IN
fashionable garment.

Striped yelvets are coming in, the

silk. Printed velvet is also seen, and

and in making entire waists.
Lace gowns will be- much wo<n this

Lace accessories will be much used.

The rufled skirts which Peris

Women Jurors Try a Woman.

A case in which woman was tried
by woman jury was heard in Weiser,
Idaho, few days ago. Mrs. George
L. Smith had done some sewing for
Mrs. Abshire and was to receive some
jars in payment. When she went for
them she was told they had been
given away, whereupon she helped
herself to some other property in lieu.
Mrs. Abshire protested and was
slapped by Mrs. Smith, for which she
had the latter arrested. 1t was de-
termined that a woman jury should
try the case, and the town became
greatly excited over the matter: Six
of the foremost ladies were impan-
elled. After being out three hours,
they returned with a verdict of ac-
ouittal at 10 o'clock at night.-St.

HOW to Press Embroidery Properly.

In all cases Of embroidery on linen
the work should be carefully pressed
when finished, and it is important for
every embroiderer to know how this
may be done in the simplest and SAT

the finished work is to lay the en-

Eow Cigars Are Sent to the Klondike

Eow Cigars Are Sent to the Klondike.
There will be cigars to burn and to
be burned in the Klondike as soon as
the dog sledge pack trains can get
through the Chilkoot. One hundred
thousand Canada-made cigars have
recently gone on their way to the
frozen-in city of gold =millionaires,
each box OF 100 cigars being PLACED in
a water-tight tin box and enclosed in
lots OF 5000 in strong wooden case.
Each case has rope handles and will
fit readily on the dog sleds which are
to carry the goods over the Chilkoot
Pass. The purpose of placing the
cigars in waterproof tin boxes is to
prevent damage to them in the event
OF the shipments being dumped into
the rapids. The cigars were bought
in Canada to escape duty and save
difficulty with the customs authorities.
The express charges on this shipment
OF 100, 012 to Victoria alone amounts

Despite this positive assurance of safety,
the characteristic treachery Of the Span

Colonel Travis and his men disarmed
than they were mastered in cold blood,
the last sound they heard on earth be-

As fitting climax to this savagery the
bodies of the brave dead were thrown
into a heap, an immense pile Of wood
was placed upon them, and their ashes,
mingled with the ashes Of their funeral
pyre, was all that was left Of the brave
little garrison.
"You can imagine to what burning

would stir the people of Texas. By the
