Kansas Jury Effectively Applies an old Law to Man Who Tmbibed Too
 Freely In Strong Drink.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 5.--In Kan sas the individual who imbibes too freely in strong drink subjects himself to an indefinite period of confinement in the insane asylum. There is an old law in this state which provides for the detention of persons addicted to the use of intoxicants, and, though it has long been obsolete, it has again been brought into use. Thomas Gill more, an Argentine butcher, was yes terday adjudged to be an ha- bitual drunkard by jury in the Wyandotte probate court and ordered committed to the state asylum. He will be held until cured of the liquor habit, or kept in custody as long as he lives. Gilmore's wife and children were the main wit nesses against him, and the story they told of his dissipation would have made good subject matter for temperance sermon. The man has been victim of drink for more than IT years, and his family say that for two years past he has not drawn a single sober breath.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE.
An Der True Tale of Some Buzzard
Eggs Which Reached Wrong
Destination.

This is true story of Sheriff Brook
what come of his efforts to play pcac-
teal joke on his wife" said Mr.. NJ. II.
Good bread, OF Taylor, Tex, at the
Riggs.
Sheriff Brookshire is full Of good ma
ture, and The love Of fun is his predom-
inant characteristic. 10 get the laugh
on friend is to him the next best thing
to rounding up a band Of horse thieves.
III is the owner of good-siZed ranch,
and while working out in pasture
near his home some time since came
across a buzzard's nest, in which re
posed as handsome snow white eggs as
the eye Of man ever looked upon.
The discovery Of these eggs imme-
diately set him to thinking of little
game that lie would play upon his faith
full spouse. Wrapping them up with
care he bore them to his house, intend
ing to tell Mrs. Brookshire that he had
| been presented with some uncommonly
| fine eggs from a fancy breed of chick
ems, and that it was the proper thing to
| put them under one of her setting hens
Immediately. He knew how fond she
Las Of having choice specimens Of the
feathered tribe, and shook with laugh
fer as he pictured her disgust when
these young buZzards should be Matched
| out
Revolving these merry thoughts, he
went into the kitchen to make the pres
entation. 1t happened that his wife
was not there, and he placed them on
table, intending to call her attention to
them later. Just at this time he was
called out of his domicile on very i'm
portant business, and the matter was Of
consequence enough 10 drive all
thoughts Of the joke out Of his head
He stayed away (. couple of hours, and
when he reached home supper was
ready. Being rather hungry from his
tramp in the pasture, the sheriff sat
down to the table and ate with good
relish the viands before him.
Suddenly the recollection Of his find
dashed across his mind. My DEAR said
he, when left the house awhile ago
put some eggs on the table yonder.
Did you get them?'
:" certainly did, and you have just
eaten them for your supper quoth
Mrs. Brookshire. why, what on earth
ais you?' as the sheriff clapped his
hands about the middle Of his corporos-
lty and rushed for the open air. She
thought, maybe, that he had been sud
denly seized with a fit Of some kind.

FEMININE FRILLs.
Odds and Ends OF Fashion Tnnt
Are Seen In FAN
Costumes. ,-=

Wine color is much talked Of for fall
and winter use. With the velvet hats,
birds or flowers of u peculiar light shade
of red are seen. Occasionally dark
wine-colored felt hat appears trimmed
with velvet of the same shade, and the
wine color appears as trimming for
some Of the outing hats. The big and
broad turbans of fur and feathers are
much seen, and are large and solid
looking. The fur or the feathers go
around the sides, the middle being of
velvet. Whole birds are seen on these
hats, and a gorgeous parrot makes i
conspicuous toque. Some English girls
are wearing becoming hats Of pale blue
felt, which set off their bright COM
plexions delightfully."- as they are in
tensified with black trimmings. y hat
made for an American has the rim Of
black velvet, soft, pale blue felt crown,
striped with black velvet and a black
bird at the side.
The most charming things are con
stantly appearing in gun metal. 1t is
q metal that men particularly like for
their own belongings. A Jewel in the
clasp Of an article Of gun metal may not
be altogether appropriate, but it is at
tractive.
There is talk sometimes of the pass
ing Of blossoms for weddings, but they
have too many traditions clinGing
around them to cease to be used, and
long sprays Of them Will be used at
many fall weddings. The ever-present
euimpc is TO be seen i'll many wedding
eli
stances. Some OF the gowns are elab-
crate, but Il wedding gown Of severely
simple design is always pleasing. The
girl who feels that the wedding service
IS solemn rite likes to put some Of
that feeling into the cut Of her frock.
In one OF the surface cars one day
last week was Il well-dresscd man wear
Ing what may have been u Fedora hat,
but with the rim somewhat wider than
usual, while around the crown was
some white material laid in even folds
and one end put under the other at the
eft side. 1t was an unusual hat for i
man, and particularly noticeable, for
next to he man sat Il woman with u
regular Fedora hat Of the same color,
gray, with the regulation black band
1t looked as if the two had exchanged
hats.
Women who like fine felt and Sc
vcrely masculine style go directly TO
the mems shops and get Il smallsized
mans hat, with which they take (; great
deal of comfort. These fine felts are
practically indestructible, can be rolled
and tumblcd and come out looking as
good as new.
Long coats reaching to the knees,
with large hoods. are made of satin and
trimmed with stitched bands Of cloth in
patterns. They make beautiful wraps
for elderly women. y long circular
wrap of black cloth is outlined with a.
fold of white silk braid and has a simu-
lated yoke made of rows of folded braid
stitched closely together. @
Some of the sleeves to the gowns with
the sheathed skirts are SO snug that
they button from the wrist nearly to
the elbow.-N. y. Sun.

encouraging to note that the govern

BY placing q strong line CT fortitica-

there would be little or no encourage
