IDEAS OF ENTERTAINING.

other day, 'but some of them-even
when not formulated-seem funny
enough. Now, notice the trend of con-
%versation the next time you make
your round of calls. Some women en-
terrain you with drygoods-those
they have on (and they seem to try
to pile on everything possible before
they descend to receive you) and those
they mean to buy or that are worn
by other people. You feel as If you
had attended a fall opening when
your call is over. Then there is the
bric-a-brac entertainer. She crowds
her rooms with bits of china and
fragile ware, but she acts as if hav-

to come and sit among them her duty
was over. Conversation Is beyond her
except on the strictly yea and nay
basis. She isn't even as we'll inform

of an ordinary china shop. Then
there's the servant and housekeeping
fiend, who apparently takes for grant

and babies than all the work of the

PORT HOLES AND GRUMMETS.
Just as the little girl feels assured
in her Peter Thompson" suit, SO do
her older sisters and mother feel
themselves to be correctly gowned In
frocks showing the latest device Dor
rowed from nautical models. The
bodice of a frock is supplied with a
certain number of portfolios, open
rings through which a broad ribbon
is slipped and twisted before being
slipped through the next portfolio.
The portfolio is sometimes called a
grummet, after the metal eyelet or
stiffened circle of rope on the edge
OF a sail which receives the rope
which is to lash it down to the boom
of a sailboat. The grummet may be
covered with silk or velvet, or per-
haps has been clothed with crocheted
silk. The larger the portfolio or
grummet the better.
The front panel of a skirt Is occa-
sionally slashed from top to bottom
at the left side, and a panel of con-
trasting collar or material inserted in
the opening. Here also is an oppor-
tunity for the portfolios which may
be inserted, and a velvet or silk rib
bon can be introduced and loosely
laced across.-Philadelphia Record.

nit. To the Eskimo this combination
indicates that we must indeed always
endeavor to have our sins forgiven.
Though one would suppose that such
words as these were no help to con-
quering them. One strange feature OF
the fishery this year has been the late
date at which fish have been trapped
ON the East coast. Thus at Gready
they were still trapping up to six and
seven quintels haul as late as the
middle of September. At the same
time the wonderful warmth and clear
days followed so much making and
loading to be going on that already
most of the men are on their way
home. Another feature of the season
has been the opening of the first in
dustries on the land outside the fish
and fur trade. Thus, in Eskimo Bay
a lumber mill mas been opened on both
the Kenamou and on the Grand rivers.
In Sandwich Bay also a saw mill Is to
be opened. and in both bays there are
fur-buying companies, who will un-
doubtedly greatly run up the prices
paid the people for their furs, competi-
ton being the life of trade. The very
bad survey or rather absence of survey
of these bays is vey deplorable. | hear
that one large lumber mill schooner is

that the steamer of one of the fur COM
panies ran aground. I go up the bay

Bullock's Idea Right.

: Down aHWashington the president
had talk Saturday with CAPTAIN.
Seth Bullock, the first supervisor of
the celebrated Black Hills forest re-
serve, and Representative Martin of
South Dakota. The conference re-
lated to the appointment of rangers
in the Black Hills reserve. These
rangers have oeen appointed by the
secretary OF the interior without
consulting the supervisor and Cap
tain Bullock desires authority to Sc
lect his own rangers. He told the
president that the reserve was the
most i'm oortant in the country,
largely by reason OF the great value
of the timber, and he would not like
to be wholly responsible unless he
could name his own subordinates.
There are II to 30 rangers under
Captain Bullock.
The president agreed that Cap
tain Bullock was right and the sec
retary Of the interior will be asked
to appoint such men as the super
visor can select.

Catching Cattle Thieves.

Yellowstone Mont Journal: The
breaking up of a well organized gang
of cattle thieves is diffiult under.
taking. Live stock "rustlers" are
sometimes convicted when arrested
and given trial, but there is so
much money to be cleaned up in the
cattle business when the stockman(O
exempts himself from the necessity
of buying his cattle by stealing
them, that upon his subsequent
trial, if he has one, the forces of the
defense are marshaled by the best
obtalnable legal talent within the
state.
Still another hindrance to success
full prosecution Of rustlers is the dis
inclination of good men to appear as
witnesses against this class of
thieves because they fear them.
Careful people who are also honest
men have all the trouble they want
usually without icviting more by
going into court to give testimony
against rustler. A rustler pre-
supposes a gang of such, and very
few men except those composing
the gang know who is who," nor
do they know exactly where to look
for trouble. The country where
those desperadoes operate while not
exactly dominated by those crooks,
is usually in agreat measure over
awed by them.
Besides all this, there is the Diff
Guilty ever present in Montana Of
getting the average jury to apply
Montana statutes to the minor
1 thefts. By these statutes any theft
of live stock, no matter how small,
lis classified as grand larceny, and
punished accordingly. Thus, the
theft of calf and the larceny of one
hundred head OF 3 3-year-old steers
,,earn the sane2sentence as to penal

verdict involves a ten years SEN

A Tough Experience.

A man giving the name OF Peter
son, of Upton, Neb., was found at
Hot Springs Friday even
ing wandering about aimlessly, and
upon examination was found to be
seriously chilled and his feet frozen.
At first he was unable to talk, but
after being cared for explained that
he had started overland for his
Nebraska home, and that he became
lost between Pringle and Hot
Springs and was roaming about the
hills in the timber two days and one
night, He became desperate from
hunger and cold and decided to kill
himself. He attempted the rash
act by pounding himself upon the
head with rock. The top and side
of his head was pounded almost to a
pulp, and the blood from the wounds
had covered his body. He says chat
he had no knife or he would have
succeeded in his attempt.
When found he was scarcely con
scious as to what he was doing, as
he came to the upper portion of
the town and called at the jail, but
did not succeed in making his wants
known. He then started into the
country again, but was overtaken
and brought back. He is now being
cared for at the Sisters hospital.
The physician thinks his toes will
have to be amputated, but otherwise
the man will soon recover.
