JIM'S SPECIALS,

rears to advertise our prices, so the
readers OF the popular paper could
see that our prices were most all be.
low other grocery houses. We have
spent much time and money to secure
the big trade We now have. There
fore, it.would be extremely foolish to
spend hundreds of dollars in newspa-
pers, trying o:point out what our
well-known low price and good foods
have all ready brought before the
people of Bates Co. This fall we are
so busy from early morning till late
at night, we haven't time to write
articles for newspapers each week
but the price marked in plain figures
in our Clean Grocery Store will con
vince you that cash is the ONLY

A GIFTED SHEEP.
One of q Colorado Flock Knows How
 to Take Care of Cattle.

One of Colorado Flock Knows How
 to Take Care of Cattle.
 Colorado has sheep that is not only able to care for itself, but looks after the welfare of cattle as well, accord ing to 9 dispatch from Denver to the New York Times. The animal is q product of Montana, where it was raised by John w Springer, president of the National Live Stock association. It Is now a pensioner on his Douglas county ranch.
 During a recent biting blizzard which cost Montana and Wyoming stockmen thousands of head of cattle this sheep went out just as the fierce storm was brewing and rounded up the cattle in places where they could get shelter and food. With intuition that anticipated the storm warnings of the weather bu- reau the little creature began looking after her aocks, and not single ami mai refused to follow her advice.
 The result was thakin this instance alone she saved for the president of the National Live Stock association more than her weight in gold would equal. Some of the members of the association say that during the blizzard of last spring two of their number were lost and that the sheep was sent out to di- rect them back to the ranch house. She could tell by instinct in which di- rection to go, while the men were com pelled to listen and then search.

LIST OF PATENTS


 It is said that the oldest advertise ment appeared in the Mercurius Clvi- GUS, London, England, in 1643.
 American enterprise has been con- municated to Italy. She has appealed to the New York stock exchange to list securities.
 Mrs Emil l.. Boas says of American woman, ''She has just q little too much adoration. She must be worthy of her inheritance and the liberty she enjoys must not become license"
 A dispatch from Cairo says that in view of the approaching visit of J. Pierpont Morgan to Egypt, workmen are engaged in screwing down the pyramids and hobbling the front feet of the Sphinx.
 Chicago evidently believes in en- couraging home industry. Some of her citizens have organized the Pig Club which will give a weekly dinner at which the menu will consist entirely of pork and pork products.
 United States Consul Heenan, Odes- sa, Russia, says agricultural machin- cry, including steam threshing ma chimes of a specified diameter, is ad- mitted into Russia free of duty.' Rus sia has q large amount of agricultural territory to be developed.

Us Mir Roosevelt and his admins tration really in favor of the Near agua canal?" asks a writer who has been closely studying the policy mapped out by the president. That question is being asked more frequent ly every day, and not without reason, either. It is quite certain that ele- ments are at work against congression- al legislation for the Nicaragua canal. and the administration is accused of encouraging, if not directly assisting them. There may be some sensational developments in this connection soon after congress reassembles. Public opinion. regardless of politics, has shown itself to be so strongly in favor of the Nicaragua canal that no man in public life dares to openly oppose it, but there are more ways to kill ii dog than hanging, and the talk about going slow and being sure that our best interests will be served by con- structing the canal over the Nicaragua route is increasing in Washington, and some of it is coming from unexpected quarters. This is simply q revival of the policy which has been used for years to prevent legislation for the canal without going on record against it. The new offer of the Panama Canal Go to sell at a little more than one-third of the price named by its president several months ago is merely a part of the game of delay. Secretary Hay is said to favor the purchase of the Panama canal, but he has not done so openly. Every man who advocates delay in Nicaragua canal legislation may not be in the pay of the Panama canal lobby, but every man who does so will place himself under suspicion. The house will take up the Nicaragua canal bill next week, and there is no doubt that it will pass it without di- vision on political lines. It is on the senators that the obstructionists are working, but Senator Morgan, who will be ill charge of the matter in the sen- ate, is a hard man to fool and man who will not hesitate to show up any crookedness that may be resorted to in any effort to indirectly kill the legis- lation by delay"

So greatly interested is the president

So greatly interested is the president cal relations with Cuba, writes a Washington correspondent, that not withstanding the multitudinous duties of his office, he is continually accumu- lating facts and statistics in support of his contentious, and whenever a mem- Der of congress who is opposed to him calls at the White House MT Roosevelt has some new data on the subject which he hands to his caller with the injunction, Read that while I speak
 to Mir So and So,, and off he goes, leaving his guest to peruse the facts until he returns in the course of five or ten minutes. The presidents latest ammunition is made up from some fig ures on Cuban imports. A caller who was just leaving the White House per mitted me to copy some figures, of which he had made a note, and which are as follows: During the last fiscal year Cuba bought from the United States cotton goods to the amount of SAGA, 900 and from other countries cot ton goods to the amount of $5,600,O0O. She imported a total of $8,300,000 worth of livestock and livestock pro- ducts of which but $2,000,O00 worth was sold her by the United States. She imported $6S6,O00 worth of woolen goods of which but $22.000 worth came from the United States. Out of a total importation of nearly 3,500,000 worth of rice less than $9,OOO came from the United States. These are but a few of the figures given, but they are suf- ficient to illustrate what the high pro- tectionist wing of the republican party would sacrifice in order to retain the favor of MT Oxnard and his confreres. Tn it's treatment of Cuban indepen- dence the administration is making what is known in theatrical parlance as "a play to the gallery" It has an- nounced that as soon as General Wood receives the official count of the cleo ton which made General Palma presi- dent. he will announce the date on which the government is to be formal ly handed oyer to the elect of the peo- pie While the president and Secre- tary Root profess to have every conf dence in senor Palma, General Wood

ROYAL DRESS REFoRMER.
Princess d'Ysemburg Despises the
 Corset. but Payers Short Skirts


 Corset, but Favors Short Skirts.
 Dress reformers have found a new ally in the Princess Marie d'YsemDurg, the sister of Henry XXII., prince of Reuss. The princess has chosen the columns of The North American Re view wherein to illuminate against modern feminine costume. Of course, she mathematics the corset-all dress reformers begin hogging that dead horse (now more defunct than ever, am told, since the new corsets which were invented by a great French doc tor)-and she goes on to ordain that no dresses should attempt to fit the figure, but fall straight from the shoulders. The skirts are not to reach the an kles, no heels are to be worn, and shoes should be as open as sandals. The neck is to be absolutely bare of any kind of collar or covering. and above all, ycils of any kind are to be abjured. Her serene highness should at least ac- company heE doctrines by a portrait of herself i'll the simple garb she advo- cates with so much earnestness, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. We have had so. many dress leagues of one kind and another of late that not even prin- cess can thrill us violently.

Delegates of the French Government
 Fell of Their Plans.
 Among the passengers on the French liner Savoie, which recently arrived at New York, were Baron Maurice de La gotellerie and NJ. Lazare Weller, who have come to the United States to study American industrial conditions.
 Nj Weller is councillor of the com mittee on the foreign commerce of France and q member of the colonial supreme council of the republic. NJ. Weller in talking of their mission said:
 eve have been charged by the French ministry to make tour of the largest cities and towns in the United States, with a view of acquiring in formation concerning industrial condi- tions here that may be of benefit to us at home We want to know all that we can of the financial and commercial methods of Americans.
 Mot only in France, but in other parts of Europe, the remarkable prog ress made by the United States has astonished many people, and l am one of those sent to fathom, if possible, the reasons for your great prosperity. The great combinations of capital and the apparently unlimited capacity for production have amazed many. It is our intention to devote a few months of diligent inquiry to a study of exist ing conditions here that may aid our financiers and merchants at home. Els pecially will we study your young men. You seem to have established q new financial school, and it has been proposed to send some of our bright young men here that they may learn the ways of your financiers.
 We shall go along slowly and give much of our time to conferences with Americans well known in the conner cial world for their enterprise, fore sight and industry. You Americans have a dash and vim which we want to see emuiated in France.
 ''We shall go to Washington very shortly, where we shall see our em bassador, and then we hope to meet President Roosevelt, after which we shall start on our tour"

TALKS OF FASHIONS RULE.
Prof. Vincent, of University of Chi cago, Lectures Women on the
 Vagarfes of Dress.

Vagaries in the fashion of women's dress were analysed by Prof. George A. Vincent, of the University of Chi. eago, in lecture at the Lewis institute the other night.
 Styles grow" he said, "by slow de grees to extremes and then go out rap idly. They are beyond even the juris diction of the Federation of Women's Clubs. They are beyond anticipation and can only be awaited in fear and trembling and with resignation'
 The women who listened to the pro- fessor's speculations, reflections and theories concerning the modes did so with the good-humored toleration of superior knowledge, but when he ap. preached the dangerous topic of bird trimmings in hats one or two whose headgear was feather-bedecked be- trayed some uneasiness and were ap- parently relieved when it was passed easily over with the assertion that ii he had control of ten leaders of fashion the Audubon society would be able to breathe sigh of relief within three years and song birds would warble un- disturbed.
 "Fads and Fashions" the lecturer as serted, originated largely in the spirit of reverent imitation inherent in the human race, which was kept from de- generating into a common type by the leaven of Individuality. It was the spirit of imitation, he said, that in duced the fashionable mistress to re- quire her servants to attire themselves in cap and apron and that impelled the servant to reject these badges of servitude.
