A Scotch Ring.

The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is Of the most tragic, not
to say melancholy. character. 1t is be-
lieved that it was the favorite ring Of
Mary Stuart and that after her judicial
murder In Fotheringay castle 1t was
transmitted TO her SON. From James 1t
descended to Charles l., at whose coro-
nation at Scone I'm 1888 1t played a dis
tinct part. Once more did this i'll fated

breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall.
Charles bequeathed IL to Bishop Juxon
In trust for his son.
In due course OF time the ring came
into the possession Of James ii. and
was carried away with him on his
flight to the continent. When, however.
he was detained by the fishermen at

only escaped robbery by the luckiest Of
mistakes on the part Of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was pass

became the property Of the reigning
dynasty once more and was by them re-
placed among the royal jewels Of Scot
land. from which It had been separated
for many a long year.-Good Words.

Mrs. Brownine'. Appearances.

Mrs Browning wore her hair in long
ringlets. which. falling very much over
her face and when seen in profile, sug
gested the unpleasing idea Of thinkers
that harshly cut across the graceful
curves of brow and cheek. 1t was this
style OF arranging her dark hair that
made Mrs. Browning look not old
fashioned for that would have given
a touch of sentiment. but strangely
out of the fashion. Her slight. pretty
figure was rather disguised than set
off by garments that fell hopping
around her. But. thank heaven. she
was entirely and utterly free from the
bad taste of the self styled clever wo-
men who acknowledge themselves to
be failures as women by aping a mas
culine style of dress and address,

High belts are still popular. but ex-

made with care If they are to be worn
with the straight front corset. The
prettiest belts are made high at the
back. The material Is cut on the cross
and is mounted on the bodice. The
belt slopes gradually toward the front.
Often the belt does not meet in front
by a couple OF inches. the intervening
space being hidden by tie OF lace or

THE NOMINATIONS.

The first business was the nomina- tiOn of a candidate for the council. Dr. Dufiield presented the name If Judge Kibbey. He was aware, he said. that the judge did not want the office. but here was an instance of the office seek ing the man. and it had found him. It was the duty of the convention 10 force the nomination upon him, and 1t was his duty as a good citizen to accept it. The nomination was made by acclama- tion. Judge Kibbey said he had little respect for a man who did not know his own mind. He had made up his mind that.he would not take the nomi- nation. He had, though, contempt for a coward. and now that he had been placed at the head of the ticket he would make the best fight possible.
 F. w. Wilbur. A. C. Mcqueen. Thom- as Boyle. H. M. Kennedy, T. F.. Elan nigan and C. T. Hirst were put in nom- ination fo- candidates for the assembly. On the first ballot Wilbur received 93 votes. Boyle 20. Mcqueen 115, Kennedy no, Flannigan 107 and Hirst 1>2. The latter four were declared the noINinees.
 The chief contest of the day came up on the nominatiC~>-Tor G----cct attor- ney. for which Arthur J. Edwards and H. C. Wilkinson were named. Edwards received 1O4 votes and Wilkinson B.
 J. C. Phillips was nominated over w ?. Richardson for probate judge by q vote of 100 to GO. II. A. Diehl was nom- mated for treasurer and C. w. Barnett for recorder by exclamation.
 The convention enthusiastically re- ceived the nomination of w. w. Cook for sheriff. The enthusiasm was fur ther increased by ringing seconding speech by James F.. Bark. The nom ination was made. not merely by accla- nation. but with a yell.
 J. A Marshal of Phoenix, Hen ny Cowell Cf Wickenburg and Grant Jones of Tempe were placed fin nomin- ation for supervisors. On the first bal lot Marshall and Jones werechosen.
 Then came the closing incident of the convention, the making up of the coun- ty central committee, which is consti- tuted as follows:

MANY BURNING
 FOREST RESERVES
The Government Doing What
 Is in lis Power
No Call Will Be Made Upon the
 War Department to Assist ill the Fire Fighting-All Depends Upon the Ranger and Their Assistants.

Washington, September 16.-Late to- day the interior department received a telegram from Superintendent Sheller in charge of the forest reserve tracts in Washington state, saying that two fires are raging over a large area in- side the Mount Rainier reserve. Ran gers have been fighting these fires since their inception and eX'ra help has been employed to battle against the flames In response to telegrams from the governors of Wyoming and Col orado the secretary of the interio~ mas ordered Forest Superintendent Garbutt of Wyoming to assist Supervisor Ather- ly of the Crow Creek reserve in fight ing the fire reported to be burning at Pearl, just south of the Medicine Bow forest reserve. They will employ a large number of men to assist in the work. This is the only action the de- partment can take. No request will be made of the war department for as sistance.
 A new forest fire that stretches over a large area is reported in official ad- vices in the South Platte forest re- serve in Wyoming. Forest SupervisCr Nicholson and a large force are work ing to extinguish it. Dispatches report a fire near Saratoga. Wyo., which has been brought under control. Reports from Washington state show q bis fire near Enumclaw, mostly on private lands, chiefly railway land which in recent years has been extensively lum bered, the mills being mostly located at Tacoma and on the lime of the North ern Pacific railway.

NOTHING NEW
 IN BOODLER HUNT
The Man Kelly Is Heard From, but
 Cannot Be Found.

St. Louis, September 1G.-A rather uneventful day was passed in poodle investigation. Ten members of the house Of delegates who failed to appear before the grand jury yesterday were examined today in regard to the city lighting bill and street railway legis- lation. The grand jury is looking into al phases of the lighting scandal in the endeavor to secure enough evidence to indict the millionaire givers of the ST. 0GO bribe paid to members of the house combine.
 There were several false clues as tO the whereabouts of Charles r. Kelly brought to the attention of City Attor- ncy Folk, but none turned out of any value. There was one telegraphic an nouncement that the much-wanted man was in Little Rock, Ark. The cir cult attorney wired the chief of police there to take him into custody l. soon transpired that the man was not Kelly and his apprehension was due to the re- sire of an individual in Little Rock to earn the $500 reward offered for the ar rest of the missing delegate.

A GIRLS PROBLEM How to Feed Herself When Running
 Down.

"I am a stenographer." That state ment brings up a picture of long hours of tiresome indoor confinement, close mental concentration and subsequent exhaustion and brain flag. Then comes up the food question.
 A young lady in Dayton, Ohio, writes. Some time ago I was a stenographer in q large city retail store and having the responsibility of the office work resting largely upon me my health be- gan gradually to decline, and l stood facing the difficult problem of finding relief of some kind or leaving my situ- atiOn. Worry added to my trouble; I became dyspeptic and nervous and suf- fered with insomnia and restlessness at night.
 I was speaking of my illness one day to trained nurse, who recommended that l begin q systematic diet of Grape Nuts at once as she had seen it's ben eficial effect upon several of her pa tients who had suffered as I did.
 So I began to use the food conscient- iously. It formed my entire breakfast with perhaps Postum Coffee or some ether nourishing drink and a second dish was taken at the evening meal In bout two weeks time 1 began to feel stronger and more hopeful; my diges- tion and appetite were better; I was less nervous and could sleep. I con tinued the diet steadily and soon cour- age and vitality began to revive and once more l began to think success lay somewhere in this big world for me.
 My work grew smoother and easier and after seven months of this diet could do almost twice the amount of work in day and do it easily and without feeling exhausted.
 Today l am filling a much more re- sponsible position and do the work easily and satisfactorily. l attribute it all to Grape Nuts which I still con tinue to use. For a palatable and healthful diet, there is nothing on the market to equal it. aiid the fact should become of common knowledge" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
