Form.'n
There was a time, not so many
years back, when it was not quite
fashionable TO appear too robust. A
little languor was considered rather
becoming in a young woman. But
that day has passed. The pale, droop-
ing, indoor girl has given way to the
riding, walking, golf-playing girl.
Health has received the seal of fash
ion.
And everything that conduces to
healthis now good form. For instance,
IN the matter Of wearing rubbers. A
few years ago a good many women OBJ
jected to wearing rubbers, on the
ground that they detracted from the
trim appearance of the foot. But
everybody knows that nothing else
ruins the health as quickly as wet
feet, and the only possible way to have
dry feet-especially in Nwinter-is to
wear rubbers. So rulbers have come
hack into style as indispensable to
good health.
The added fact that rubbers are now
so much more shapely and graceful in
their lines than they were a dozen
years ago, and that they are now made
in such infinite variety. has served, Of
course, still further TO increase their
popularity .-Harper's Bazaar.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN KANSAS.
A Bill to Compel the Governor to Sign
FiftY-nine Death Warrants.

A BIZ to Compel the Governor to Sign
Fifty-Dine Death Warrants.
TOPEKA, Kansas (~Specia).-A bill was in
troduced in the Legislature Thusrday COM
polling the Governorto signthe death war
rants OF all persons convicted of murder In
the first degree. The bill also provides
for the putting to death within the period
OF one year OF all ~conyicts now in the pent-
Tertiary under death sentence. There
are lfty-nine such convicts. The number
has increased from year to year, a result
OF the present law relating to capital pun
ishment, which leaves the signing of death
warrants optional with the Governor. No
Kansas Governor has ever seen fit to sign q
death warrant.
The bill is the result of the recent trial
and conviction OF John Collins on the
charge of having murdered his father, j.
S. Collins, a Topeka capitalist, last fall.
Governor Stanley recently declared that
he would not sign C%ollins's death warrant.
The passage of this bill would compel him
to do so or resign. Mr.. Stanley says he
will resign before he will sign the death
warrants OF the convicted murderers in the
penitentiary. 81 will never permit myself
to become a murderer, even under the
sanction Of law" he declared.

IuhldH b-SDiDhAEt'
Every camp of white men in the
Cocopah Country is watched by an
Indian. Captain Newton H. Chitten-
den, the famous traveller and Indian
archeologist, said that all the time he
was on the desert an Indian or two re-
manned with him at night. He did
not notice the coincidence Mt first,
but after five or six nights he took
note, and invariably, near sundown,
an Indian would appear. Generally
it was a new Indian, one he had never
seen before. He would ask for sup
per and tobacco, and, after partaking
of the white mans hospitality, would
curl up in his blanket and sleep. The
unfailing regularity with which the
Indians appeared, and always with
the same excuse, hat they had been
hunting deer and were belated, ex-
cited Captain Chittenden's suspicion;
but, as the Indians did not harm him,
he did not modest them, but good
nsturedly accepted their espionage
during his stay in their county,
