his life Sunday. He had discharged a
negro named Early Williams, and the
negro came back 10 the hotel and made
an attack on Mr.. Knight with big
knife. The landlord, however. had gun
handy and he proceeded TO pump lead
in the negro's direction at lively rate.

The Shirtwaist it is.

There is no use IN COntepding
against the stars in .heir conrse
and least of all against the Dog
Star. Theeshirt waist man has
come to stay. From New York
Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delphla, Chicago, and from all
the lesser lights of the urban
sisterhood, comes one long
drawn sigh of relief from enan-
cipated manhood, while the
tempest Of conservative protest
is stilled. The shirt waist it is,
and the shirt waist it will be
more and more hereafter. Let
the tailor, the shirt-maker and
the outhtter, therefore, take
thought for tomorrow. for new
order is at hand and the old has
passed.
Our conscience is clear in the
matter. Weeks ago we served
notice that unless the innovation
was nipped in the bud it could
never be nipped at all. 1t was
not nipped. The women folk
might have met the emergency,
but they didn't. They only
smiled and regarded 1t as COM
tortiug proof of masculine weak
ness. And the mischief IS done.
What shall profit the kicks of
the hotel and transportation
people? The best drawing card
for the railway line next sum-
mer will be the announcement
that the shirt waist man can
ride anywhere he wants to from
the cow~catcher to the rear
platform. The cafe where the
shirt waist is tabooed
will, according to a contempor-
ary, fall into the hands of the
bailiffs. Undoubtedly, the mis-
chief has been done.
There remains, however, a
subsidiary issue which is called
up by the Philadelphia Times:
1--WE read that in the yacht
upon Long Islaud
Sound, many yachting women
may DOW be seen dressed sensi>
bly, and nautically in white dnck
trousers. This happy thought
suggests a possible solution of
the shirt waist problem. The
women i'll trousers must wear
shirt waists and they can be
relied upon to wear them prop
erly and to adjust the trousers
to them in a satisfactory way.
by studying their example the
men may learn how to do it. E"
Shall world conquering mau,
boasting of his inventive genius
and creative ingenuity, confess
his inability to adjust his shirt
waist to his trousers waist ?
Away with the humiliating ad-
mission Let us resort to belts,
surcingles, safety pins. Single
nails or solder, but never, never
1oller for help Vugiuzan Pilot.
