SPRING FASHIONS.


Yards and yards of tulle and chiffon
of all colrs are being ordered by the
modish milliners, which goes to
prove that these trimmings will be
par excellence used on the spring and
summer hats. They are employed

garniture. No matter what the ma

the novelties this spring is the use

AS TO LOTTERIES.
DOrtant Opinion Bearing Upon
Newspaper Guessing Contests

Attorney General Knox Renders I'M
DOrtant Opinion Bearing Upon
Newspaper Guessing Contests.
Washington. Aug. 2S.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox has rendered to the Post
master General an opinion on the ques-
ton, whether a certain Western Gaily
paper has violated the law prohibiting
the use of The mails for advertising
lotteries, Gift concerns and similar en-
terprises. The paper some time ago
inauguratad guessing contest, adver-
Using that it would give 1900 prizes
-aggregating $4,000 in value--to per-
sons making the nearest estimates of
the number of paid admissions to the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
from the day of opening to the day of
closing.
The attorney general says that I'M
less plainly forbidden by law the rem
edy is with Congress and not with the
department. He says the contestants
must go into careful inquiry as to the
facts about the exposition, public in
terest and attendance to date and con-
tinues as follows:
Such estimates, therefore, while
necessary dependent in many respects
upon chance, are likewise affected by
the intelligent calculations of
thoughtful observer A fair construc-
ton of the words dependent upon lot
or chance excludes estimates which
are based upon mental calculations,
even though the factors, which enter
into such calculations may be uncer-
tain and matters of conjecture. The
drawing of lot or the throwing of dice
are purely dependent upon chance, for
no mental operation can aid in the
result AS penal statutes must be con-
strued strictly, 1 am able to reach the
conclusion that the giving of prizes are
reward for superior intelligence in
estimates where the human intellect is
exercised in making such estimates, is

GRAPE-NUTS
Solve the Problem.

The U. S. government has been at
tempting to instruct the people regard
ing the purchase of food that would
give the best advantage to the system
with the least expenditure Of money. A
report has been made by Prof. Atwater,
the famous chemist, and the subject is
of great interest.
This is an age of specialists. and the
work of the food specialist is Of great
Importance. Persons who do not care to
go into all of the details and statistics,
can secure practical results by using
Crane Nuts, the breakfast food, which
is probably the most scientifically made
food In the market. 1t is made for a
purpose and was originated by food
expert of unquestioned standing.
The elemental principles contained in
Grape Nuts are selected for their value
in rebuilding the brain and nerve CEN
ters in the human body. The subJect Is
worth any brain workers attention.

From the New York Press.
Red Cloud of the Cayugas is a unique
character. He does not live in a tepee,
however. nor refuse to communicate in
the language of the paleface, but an
swers the curious queries of visitors
with great dignity and reserve, as well
as with Spartan brevity. To the sug-
gestion that he had ''lived a good many
years" the old Indian said 49, but to
the observation that he didn't look as
old as that" he deigned to give no re-
ply whatever. This interesting old In
dian occupies the western log cabin in
the Six Nations exhibit at the Pam
American exposition. He sits in
rocking chair and works away on va
rious ornaments such as are to be seen
about the walls of the cabin.
The old man wears pair of blue
jeans held up by a belt, and his fan
mel shirt is covered by waistcoat, at
tached to which is a large leather chain
that secures his watch.
When asked for his name, or card,
the old man indicates the picture of a
brave in war paint and feathers un-
derneath which is printed-Red Cloud,
Cayuga.
An inquisitive visitor sometimes asks
the Indian il he often appears in the
dress of the picture-what the matinee
young woman would doubtless refer to
as glad attire" "Humph!" says Red
Cloud. "'Spose l want to dress up in
paint and feathers all the time. just
cause I'm an Injin?"
Red Clouds method of selling goods
are peculiar. A small boy stood by him
for some time watching his work, ana
making the comment that 1t was SLOW
working" boy" said the old man,
have you got ten cents?" The youth
snickered. "'Cause If yer got ten cents
I'll sell you a little bow and arrows
added the chief. The rather suspicious
maternal parent, reversing the proverb
of one Simon, called Simple in nursery
lore, suggested that he show them
first his bow and arrows. They were
immediately produced, and the youth
full archer dove into his clothes for the
required silver disk. The old salesman
of original method then went back TO
his work-whittling the back of a pic
ture frame.
The interior of the cabin is a very
interesting place. One side is hung
with war bonnets, and bench is COW
cred with beaded and carver work. pic
lures and many interesting trinkets. A
large fireplace occupies one end of the
cabin. All about the walls are skins
and furs some of the skins showing
fine work In burnt designs.
