MhlIe a number OF colored folk
were enjoying themselves at an ell

territory, not long since, tney were
attacked by a NUMBER OF rOwdIes,
mostly COWBOYS, and were badly

following language: Il say to the
colored men, deIend your race. 1t

to be living among them for no other
reason than because said weaker race
is vastly in the minority in the coun-
try in which the crimes are perpe-
trated, then what in heavens name
could be expected of barbarians and
persons devoid of superior trainings,
as the Southern lynchers claim to be.
There would seem to be at least
some excuse for the lynching of a
man guilty of maltreating woman,
and where such is common to a GER
tain race Of men, it is no more than
should be expected when persons be-
longing to the opposite race would
take the law into their own hands
and mete out summary justice to
such high-handed fends, but when
the men of an opposite race will
lynch a woman, not for crime, but
for simply taking money out Of a
pocketboOk that she was supposed to
have found, there is no doubt but
that such persons are unfit to even
be classed as human beings Of all
the cases of lynching that have oc-
CURED in the United States since the
lynching mania has been prevalent
among the citizens Of this country,
this seems to be the most shameful
one that has ever been reported.

blousy, sacque-fashion, a crimped frill
of plain net around the bottom and
sleeves giving a deliciously old-lady
touch. Back and front several short
clusters of tucks, running from the
neck, provided a suitable fullness;
from here the taffeta lining, also frill-
ed at the bottom. hung loose from the
outside. A high shaped collar, hugging
the throat closely, and tucked cravat
of the plain net finished the garment,
which admirably suited the slim, tall,
dark woman who wore it.
Another pelerine mantle made in this
way was of black chantilly over
white satin, the rich curving border
of the lace forming the bottom edge
of skirt and wide sleeves. The pattern
of this lace was very elaborate, but
the web had been woven to preserve
an unbrokn picture at every point of
vantage. Thus at each front of the
mantle jacket (after all that seems
the best name for them) a tall peacock
with trailing plumage stood sentinel
over the lady's chest bones. Down her
spinal column a single bird stalked in
solitary splendor, and over each sleeve
another strutted; and despite the fact
that this decoration shone out start
lingly from the white lining, it was
without offensiveness. At the front
of the high curved collar two big to-
paz buttons, set in aluminium and Jet.

Riding longer than she had intended,

the latter declares that it is to the
homely kitchen garden, stretching back
from their old farm house, that she

remarked upon for its beauty. AS soon
as the tomatoes begin to ripen. the first
thing she does after her morning ablu-
lions is to HE herself to the spot where
they grow and to use one in briskly
rubbing face, neck and hands. She
takes a bit of soft cheese cloth to serve
as towel but does not use it until the
tomato has been on for few minutes.
When cucumbers are over-ripe she
uses them in the same manner.
