Hair. She was watching the Cars I'M

you might term Baleful Clean in her
Eye and she was beginning to tap the
Floor with one Tootsie. Those who un-

Friend from Memphis. He did not

innocent Third Party or admitting to
any one that he could be Scared by a
Weak Woman weighing only 12o.
The Man from Memphis ordered two
Juleps. The Julep is built in tall
Vase. 1t consists of leafy Roof Gar

indication point to the continuance Of the
Elton for popular wear.
Very little apparent change has been
made in the shape Of skirts, only the
great consideration will be to have them
full enough around the bottom. To this
end some have two or three or even more

Like last year many rumors were heard

One of the most prominent Of the fall
styles will be the folded shoulder capes,

will be a new autumn feature. Emerald

NEW YoRK's WISE GuLLs.
They Know Fish Day at Fulton Market
and tho steamer Sailing Days.

New York Sun: Every day is in a
measure a fish day at Fulton market, but
the seagulis know the chief fish day OF
the week. 1t is then that they feast to
their hearts content. Their coming and
going has for years amused and interested
the ferryboat passengers, and some Of the
latter have been observed to look up from
their papers, glance out Of the cabin win
dows, catch sight Of the army of gulls
and exclaim:
BLESS me. there are the gulls. 1t is
Friday again.
The long-winged travellers of the sea are
always to be seen In the East river oppo-
site Fulton market in the daytime, but
they gather there in greater numbers on
Friday because so much refuse Is thrown
away that day. They hover over the sur
face of the water by hundreds, taking
from the water such food as is to their
liking. They are the scavengers of the
East river In this respect.
The intelligence of the gulls is remark
able In one way. Besides knowing which
is the big fish day on the East river they
know the chief sailing days on the North
river.
The American line usually dispatches a
steamer for SOUTHAMPTON at 10 a. M
the ship leaves the pier the circing OF the
gulls in midstream begins. The birds
know from experience that before the
ship leaves quantities of food are thrown
from the ships ports, and they make a
dash to recover 1t the moment the ship
pulls out 1t Is amusing to watch one Of
the gulls trying to lift from the water a.
piece Of food twice as heavy as itself.
Sometimes these gulls will hover around
the American line pier until noon Of We'd
nesday. At this hour the Red Star liner
starts for Antwerp. leaving the water OF
the slip filled with discarded food. More
frequently. however. the birds will hurry
on to the White Star line piers directly
after the American liner leaves her wharf.

The Modern Fable Of the Wedding Trip
and the Bad Break in the Dining Car.

John and Emma were on their Hon
eymoon Hike, but they were not ad-
vertising the Fact
Is it not dreadful to be spotted as a
Newly Married Coupler" said Emma
to John. "They say that all the World
loves a Lover but it seems to give the
Ha-Ha to the Bride and Groom Now,

Chuckles Of the Nesters who loaf about
Hotel Offices, let us pretend that we

So when they started to Niagara they
wore Old Clothes and she carried the
heavy Suit Case, and he went and sat
In the Smoking Compartment and
talked to the Drummers while she
killed time by reading the Hotel Di-
rectory. 1t was a very faithful imita-
tion They acted just as Married as
they could. They wanted to lean
against each other and ask what Pidgy
would do if little Widgy were to die,
and whose Caramel is 90? But they
cut out all the Wrestling and the Baby
Talk in order to keep the Public in the
Dark.
They got on swimmingly. He neg
lected her SO persistently that every
one thought she must be his Sister,
But finally an old Gentleman across
the Aisle leaned over and said he
hoped their path in life would be
strewn with Roses, provided they did
not travel in their Stocking Feet.
How did you get Joseph to the Lay
Out?" asked Emma, who was pro-
voked. We thought we were too Cute

Hubby had promised to be home
early for Dinner. He had one Foot on
the Step of the Street Car when he hap
pened to remember that his Wife had
told him to bring home a Basket of
Gem Melons, because the Grocer did
not keep the Kind she liked.
Hubby did not fancy the Notion of
playing PackPony on the Streets, but
he knew there would be a catch-as-
catch-can Talking Match if he failed to
show up with those Melons, so he
turned reluctantly and allowed the Car
to go it's Way.

had, however, one disadvantage, that

and offensive region, the very name Of

| the western part of the territory. This
Is probably as many as will finally ma
terial1ze in the reservation just opened
and yet this western Oklahoma coun-
try has been obtainab1e all the time In
earlier days it was classed as uninhab-
liable, but the line of settlement has
pushed rapidly westward year by year
and the waving wheat has rolled across
the plain nearly to the Texas line. He
is bold prophet who dares say now
that this or that section of the United
States is to be forever uninhabitable.
Five Million Acres Left.
There are now thirty-three counties in
Oklahoma and in sixteen Of these coun-
ties every foot of land is occupied by set
tiers. There are still 100000 acres of
government domain left in the territory
AT the rate this is now being taken by
settlers there will not be homestead left
in five years, The rush to the Kiowa reser-
walton will stimulate settlement through
out this entire section of country. Fifty
thousand people have signiiled their de-
sire for the Indian land. Allowing that
half of these applications are speculative
less than half of the genuine homeseekers
can be accommodated. There is still I'M
appropriated land in Oklahoma which Is
as good as some of that which will be
taken on the Indian reserve. The latter
of having been unattainable in the past.
On the reservation the Indians have
naturally secured the best land-that is,
the bottom land along the flowing streams.
Many thousand acres have been reserved
by the government for Indian stock graz
Ing, forest reserves and such purposes.
The result of this system Is that the set
tier now seeking a farm finds himself
about in the same position as a man en-
terinfr a 1onp ths
exception of a few speculative possibilities
In the shape of town sites and choice To-
calities between Indian selections he must
take what is left. The man who is wise
will prefer good land where it can be irri-
gated than poor land where the rainfall Is
alleged to be adequate This is especially
true Of the western half, where the an
nual rainfall is only about Is inches-an
amount which means a heavy percentage
of short CROPS
