Womsa's Club.

The La Junta Woman's Club
spent a mos, delightful afternoon
at the home OF Mrs. Mendelson,
Friday, December I2th. "Ger
many" was the subject Of the day.
The rooms were artist,cally draped
with the German national colors
black, white and red.
First on the program was "Cu--
rent Events" which keeps the
club in touch with the outside
world. Mrs. Taylor gave his
tory OF the first national appoint
ment of Thanksgiving by the
president, discussion having
been previously raised as to the
exact date of the same.
Then the subject Of the day was
taken up. Mrs. Bragg rendered
the national German song, 1.-The
Watch on the Rhine" and the
chorus was sung in German by
the ladies.
Mrs. Mendelson, in her bright,
pleasing manner, gave very in
teresting talk on Germany, the
home of her nativity. Having
quite recently returned from an
extended trip in the "Faderland, !"
the description she gave of her
journey, Berlin and other cities,
and the customs and home life
of the German people was very
entertaining, and listened to with
intense interest.
Following the talk, the ladies
we're shown some samples of fine
bed and table linen, some of which
was over one hundred and twenty
FIVE years old, and had never been
washed. The German housewife
takes a special pride in her linen,
keeping an abundant supply al
ways on hand. A beautiful col
lection Of curios was also shown,
among which were many rare and
valuable heirlooms, in ebony,
silver, porcelain. ivory, crystal
and alabaster, each with history
Of its own. One, = silver rattle,
with elephant tooth, which was
the gift Of = noted German prince
to the family Eve generations
back.

amining the many quaint and

Weather tese.

There is an old saying that il
the FIRST Sunday of a month is
rainy. every Sunday in that month
will also be rainy. The same rule.
in popular estimation, should
apply to other days Of the week,
and without regard to their place
in the moath. This is merely q
convenient way OF saying that the
weather tends to repeat itself about
once in seven days. The condi-
tions prevailing on Sunday are
more closely observed and better
remembered because OF the break
which Sunday makes in the regu-
lar pursuits of the week.
This notion, like many OF those
which have become incorporated
in the approved weather maxims
OF the people finds considerable
scientific support. A barometric
depression requires rather we'll
defined period in which to pass
over this country from one coast
to the other. The average is from
three to four days, varying some
what with the season of the year
and with other conditions. Two
of these weather tides-and the
second is apt to reverse the first
would take about one week. Thus
areas Of high or OF low temperature
would be likely to succeed each
other in most places by about that
interval.
While this is rough calculation
and one which, if put to the test,
would encounter many exceptions,
weather bureau experts say that.
with a vigorous storm today there
is slightly more likelihood Of anoth-
er in just a week than of another
in either six or eight days. The
margin of increased likelihood, al
though small, is on that side.
This is all that the popular say
ing implies. Were the rule to
work ont rigidly, the Mondays OF
the year would all be on the same
pattern, while the Tuesdays would
average up to another standard.
Nothing OF this kind is to be ex-
pected. Exceptions to the seven
day rotation occur often enough
to keep the mind OF man from
guessing too readily the great Sc
crets which nature hides in the
wind and the storm clouds.

TEN DEAD IN A MINE.
Explosion $40 Feet Under the Ground NJ
Dow, I. T., from Gas That Had
Accumulated.

South McAlester. I. T., Jan. 15.-An
unknown person probably fred an I'M
authorized shot in mine No. 0, of the
Milby & Dow Mining company ut
Dow, I. T., and ten miners in the
bottom of the shaft persisted, leav-
ing no one to tell the story. The
sound of the explosion brought
prompt relief and the men were
brought up. The explosion did not
injure the shaft, which was a new
one, and the fire was put out without
doing damage. None Of the ten dead
men were burned. The natural con-
clusion is that deaths were due to the
after damp. the men rerishing in the
hydrogen and sulphuric acid gas after
the oxygen had been consumed by tho
explosion. The ten men were devel-
oping the shaft and were down 240
feet. AS the mine was not yet opened
there was no fire inspector and ex-
perienced miners marvel that the gas
should have accumulated in sufficient
quantity to cause such disastrous
explosion.

has been transferred from the various
districts to Topeka. After having the

ately file a demurrer, and the ques-
ton of the governors right to ap-
