once upon 4 time there was a yer,
ugly girl who was able to do "a yer,
great favor for the highest pricet
drcssmaker in the whole world. This
dreSsmaker, who was IA Man, by the
way, was looked upon as the arhitel
of Fashion. When he said women
E should wear humps on their back, af.
ter the way nf the camel, the women
OF the world s%traIghtway either
bought or made humps Of his pattern.
Once he had said that they should en-
case themselves in a sort of wire bird
cage and Immediately they had de-
elared that these cages were the most
Tavishing things ever invented by
their benelactor, Sometimes he made
all women look as If they had been
liquitled aud poured into their clothes
and sometimes it was his caprice to
make them look like fiuttering balls of
and ribbon, But whatsoever he
wNlled women did. The man dress,

asked If she might think this propu-
sition over for a dag and a night. She
remembered that in old fairy tales
people always asked for something in
Il hurry and then were sorry for 1t af-
terward. And the very ugly girl did
not intend to be caught that way.
When she went back 20 the man

MURDERED BY INDIANS

Great Falls, Jan. People from Ed

there to the effect that Maj. George ID.
Mclaughlin and three companions have
been murdered by the Indians at a
point about 800 miles north of Edmon-
ton. Mclaughlin and his party left
Blackfoot about a year ago. shortly
after he a turned over his position as
Indian agent of the Blackfoot reserva-
ton to Captain Fuller. They Travelled
overland with a bunch of horses to Ed
monitor and thence set out on the over
land trail for the Klondlke. After the
party had travelled about 100 miles from
Edmonton Mclaughlin left his party
and for a considerable time nothing was
heard of him. Then he wrote from a
point further north on h river route
that he was well and would winter on
the Mckenzie river. 1t is supposed that
later he Joined his fortunes with a party
of three, as the report states that the
bodies of four men. including his. have
been found under conditions which ad-
nit no doubt OF murder. No further
details of the affair are given, and IL is
possible that the Mclaughlin party has
been confused with another similarly
bound north.
