sail. The gale Increased and about ten
O'Clock IL Was found necessary to take In

opened the seams and she began leaking

ing are employed thus to break the
severity of the habit fit and to soften a
little the natural outline.
A new skirt that promises to be pop
uar has the back laid in box pleat
which is narrow at the belt and spreads
into the train. Smoothness of outline
Is thus accomplished at the back, and
all belt fullness is avoided, yet the out
line of the figure is not followed. For
those who do not like the habit eugges-
ton, there are all sorts of coat bodices
and tab-backs that are modish, and, as
these folk add, quite modest.
Embroideries promise to play the
same important part in dress decora-
ton that they have had now for sew
eral months. Though many kinds are
already in use, new ones are appearing
and as to the manner of employment
there are as many ways as any one
could wish. To possess any distinction
at all, either the embroidery or the use
of it should be in some degree novel
Embroideries right off the reel always
sell at figures all out of proportion to
their actual cost, So the least expensive
way to do the trick is to provide a new
design and use a trimming that isn't
in the exclusive classification. The
bodice pictured here should supply help
full suggestions to this end 1t was

of tucked and corded white satin. This

MILLIONS OF LOGS.


Packed and Welded Into a Solid Jam
for Two Miles.
Two miles of logs--logs packed and
damned as closely as they can be and
into tangled mass by the terrific force
with which they We're shot down on
the food of the Big Blackfoot this
spring; logs piled endwise, crosswise,
lengthwise, at all angles and in all po-
sitions logs stripped in many instances
of their bark by the fearful force that
brought them down the stream; logs
heaped high on either side of the river
and piled on the banks of the stream,
crowded there by the pressure OF the
mass of timber coming down behind
them; logs massed so closely that for
nearly the whole of the distance of two
miles not a foot of the surface of the
river can be seen; big logs and little
logs, long logs and short logs, pine logs
and fir logs, tamarack logs and hemlock
logs three million feet of them, mixed
up In the veriest tangle ever seen-this
is what the visitor sees at the big log
Jam above the Bonner mills this month.
1t is a sight that is we'll worth the trip
piled in the most fantastic shapes, and,
aside from the business point of view,
which is always interesting, the picture
is one that is full Of interest, even to
those who have seen similar sights be-
fore The splendid natural facilities af-
forded by the Big Blackfoot river at
Bonner for the storage Of logs was new
err more fully demonstrated than this
season. The large amount of crude
timber that is held there has never.
even when the water was at its highest
and most threatening stage, been in any
danger of going out. The big piers that
dot the river in the big bend above the
mills have never had a bigger load to
hold than they have had this season,
but they have held it easily and with
out the loss of stick. Some of the
piers cannot be seen. They are buried
deep beneath thousands of feet of logs,
their location being shown only by the
towering of high peaks of roughly piled
logs about the mass that surrounds
them. Two miles long IS this jam, and
its depth is that of the river. The logs
are forced in so closely that they are al
most a solid mass, and they have
backed up the water to such an ex-
tent that travel along the Blackfoot
road has been almost impossible since
the jam formed They make solid
roadway across the river, little rough
and not passabe by teams, but easily |
on foot.
Some of these logs have come dis
lance of seventy miles down the river. |
They have been driven through rapids |
and across lakes. They have shot |
through narrow races in the streams, |
and have foated gracefully in the |

SUMMERS APPROACHING EXIT

The crickets chirp in the long grass
and in the cut grass and the voices of
| the katydids are heard in the tall elms
Rather mournful are the cricket Choir
uses these quiet nights when the noisy
rattle of the wagons and carts is over
and darkness has settled Ger the earth
Summers reign is about over yet va
rious of the September days now at
hand may be hot and sultry and con-
ducive to the further prosperity of the
shore restaurants and the trolley cars
But there is now and then fall like
touch in the atmosphere and the return
here and there of the summer tourist
gives emphasis to the approaching
change. This summer has had it's day.
1t has brought the usual rush of eX-
cursionists to the nearby shore resorts,
places now accessible to the multitudes
since the advent of the streets cars,
but once and not so very long ago WIS.,
tied only by the favored few. Great
has been the change wrought by the
street cars in this respect. Where thir-
ty years ago New Ravens shore re-
sorts We're visited by scores they are
now resorted to by thousands. And
though the tide of summer travel on the
trolley cars Is about over there remain
weeks yet for the enjoyment of this
popular means of recreation. New Ha-
ven has been an unusually delightful
place in which to pass the summer this
esason owing to the many days of mod
crate temperature and the few days of
absolute discomfort. Young America
has had a grand vacation rest from
books and study, but the joyous long
holidays of SO are nearing their end and
soon again school work must be re-
sumed. The ocean greyhounds are busy
bringing back from foreign scenes re-
turning tourists. A hundred millions,
it is estimated has been spent in the
old world this summer by American
travellers. Autumn brings its Joys. its
leaves of a thousand shades of color, its
ripened grains and fruits, its cooling
breezes its beautiful sombre landscapes. |
The seashore resorts have had a good |
harvest and the clam and oyster beds |
will before long get a needed rest.

THE sLA Uan4ER or THE BIRDS.

Lovely woman, tender graceful, SYM
pathetic, devoted who walls with grief
that cannot be eomforted over the death
of pet pug dog or pet bird, yet for
some inscrutable reason continues to
bow inevitably to all the DEGREES of
fashion even to wearing upon her hat
the feathers or the remains of slaugh-
tered birds. And this fall the bird
feather ornamentation RACES anew
having broken out with increased vehe-
mence and this despite all the beautiful
and eloquent pleas for the birds-pleas
which are becoming more and more fire.
quent and earnest as whole tribes Of
beautiful feathered songsters are near
ing annhilation. On this subject the
New York Evening Sun enquiries:
What is the reason of it? Why will
women stick to feathers when there are
so many other kinds of material avail
able? Why this mad passion for real
feather when an artificial mal1e-shift
will do as well? Women wear artificial
roses, violets, pansies, chrysanthemums
pumpkin and asparagus vines, artificial
wheat and oats and artificial straw;
why will they not wear artificial birds
on their hats and made-up beasts on
their muffs? 1t is a curious phenome-
non and it can only be explained on the
theory that fashion, that mysterious al
bitter, dictates the real feather and ig-
nores the artificial one.
Many women with sympathetic
hearts, to whom the love Of birds takes
its place with the love Of human kind,
have strlven to persuade their sisters
that the wearing of feathers is form
of bird murder, but their efforts have
been in vain. Fashions in hats come
and so, but always with feather stuck
in them, after the manner of Yankee
Doodle.
'Other attempts to diminish the de-
struction of birds for the decoration of
hats have failed, and they will fail as
long as fashion fixes feathers on hats
1T would be idle to conjecture what |
man would do in similar situation. |
The DEGREES of fashion are not SO bind !

to be. Besides, he is more
amenable to reason. He may shoot |
birds for fun. but he will never, no
never, wear them to ornament his top

THE TNIR4 CTIBLE FIITPINOS.

What the President says regarding
| the nations policy as to the Philippine
| islanders should be borne In mind. Mr.
Mckinley in his remarks at Ocean
Grove on the subject said Wherever
that flag is raised it stands, not for des-
potism and oppression, but for liberty,
opportunity and humanity. And what
that flag has done for us we want it to
do for all peoples and all lands which
by the fortunes of war have come with
in its jurisdiction
Then again note the following from
the proclamation of the President $
commissioners: 1.-THE commission en-
phatically asserts that the United States
Is not only willing but anxious to estab-
lish In the Philippine Islands an enlight-
ened system of government, under
which the Philippine people may enjoy
the largest measure of home rule and
the amplest liberty consonant with SUI
preme ends of government and compat-
ible with those obligations which the
United States has assumed toward the
civilized nations of the world"
These be words to remember. The
flag of this nation, when it waves I'M
disputed over those far off islands of
the sea. will mean, there as here, liber-
ty, home rule, a just and wholesome ad-
m1nistration of the law. 1t will mean
order in place Of anarchy, equal and ex-
act justice and protection to life and
property, in place of the reign of terror
that has prevailed in those islands for
centuries. 1t means the grand uplifting
of semi barbarous people and con-
glomeration of races to plane where
slavery, despotic rule, rapine and an
archy will pass away and where wise
and beneficent government will be sub
stituted. No one can deny that such a
change will be blessing inestimable
for those islanders, and that in fighting
against Americans the Filipinos are not
fighting against tyranny and tyrants.
Whether it will be necessary to con-
tinue to wade through seas of blood in
order to induce the obstinate and in
tractable Filipinos to accept these bless
ings remains to be seen.
The Presidents words yesterday at
are also much to the point,
when he said: 1.-THE first blow
was struck by the insurgents. Our
kindness was reciprocated with cruelty,
our mercy with Mauser. The flag of
truce was invoked only to be dishonor-
I'd. The soldiers We're shot down while
to the wounded Filipinos.
Dur humanity was interpreted as weak
ness, our forbearance as cowardice.
They assailed our sovereignty; and there
