FOR LITTLE FOLKS.


Blind mans buff is of French origin
and of very great antiquity, having
been introduced into EGg!aad In the
French name, Colin Maillard, was
that of a brave warrior, the memory of
whose exploits still lives in the chroni-
Giles of the middle ages.
In the year $50 Liege reckoned
among its valiant chiefs one Jean Co
lin He. acquired the name Maillard
from his chosen weapon being a NAL
let. wherewth in battle he used liter
ally to crush his opponents.
In one of the feuds which were OF
perpetual recurrence in those times he
encountered the Count de Tourain In a
pitched battle, and so runs the story,
in the first onset Colin Maillard lost
both his eyes.
He ordered his esquire to take him in
the thickest of the fight, and, furiously
brandishing his mallet, did such fear
full execution that victory soon declar-
ed itself for him.
When Robert of France heard Of
these feats of arms, he lavished favor
and honors upon Colin, and so great
was the fame of the exploit that II
was COMMUNICATED in the pantomimic
representation that formed part of the
rude dramatic performances of the
age BY degrees the children learned
to act il for themselves, and 1t took
the form of a familiar sport.
The blindfold pursuer, as with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for a victim to pounce upon, in
some degree repeats the action of Colin
Malllard. the tradition of which is also
traceable In the name blind mans buff.

The young girl who looks well to the
way of her wardrobe sees with some
disquietude that box plated skirts are
coming In and her dress closet is hung
with frocks with long, scanned, closed
and tight fitting back breadth. If she
wishes to wear, say two of these late
in the spring or again next winter, she
hastens to the shop where she pur-
chased the material and tries TO match
It. You will need good sized piece to
remodel a skirt. Measure the long
sloping breadth as far as its cores; al
low three inches for the bottom hem
and a suitable turn in for the top. If
the material is double width, there will
be some waste material. but you can
not help that, because you must have
the full length for your box plated
back. Match the goods and set this
piece aside until you can spare the
frock and secure the dressmaker's at
tention to remodel the gown.

WADSW0RTH DISPATCH.
THE BoUTON CASE.

District Attorney Van Duzer is
making a commemorate effort to Sc
cure the conviction Of Victor Bouton
who is held In the Winnemucca jail
under four indictments charging him
with stealing cattle. The officer will
receive the moral support of the law
abiding element Of this community.
The crime with which the defendant
is charged is n too commonly CLOSED
over by a loose public sentiment. The
cattlemen have suffered 50 outrageous
ly in times past that they were com
PEELED to do something for the protec-
ton of their ranges. II Is estimated
that the depredatlonS Of the parties
with whom Bouton is said to have been
connected amount to over four hundred
head of cattle. 1t would have been
impossible for them to have carried on
their operations without the connlvance
on the part of some Of our people who
have heretofore stood In good repute.
They have knowingly been negligent In
observing the plain provision Of the law
In regard to keeping exposed the hides
Of slaughtered stock and technically
are as guilty as the nan who peddled
the beef or bought the stock. Detec-
tive Thacker has been securing the
country for evidence and 1t is said that
Bouton Is sure Of conviction when his
trial comes up the 9th Of next month.
And Bouton says If he is convicted he
will take others to the penitentiary with
him. Let the truth come out. 1t is
understood that the Bouton case is
only one Of several prosecutions that
will be started Tribune.
