The Power Of Tradition.

The well known uatura list,
Ernest Thompson, recently
found himself in scrape which
illustrates the density Of some pco.
pies minds and the puissance of
a wcll-cstablished convention.
Mr.. Seton.Thompson went into
the wilds of Colorado to hunt bears
not with rifle or trap, but with
camera. He encountered there a
game warden who arrested him on
the charge of violating the game
laws and hauled him to the nearest
town, where the jury. on hearing
that the prisoner aud his party had
no guns and were bent on purely
artistic captures of bird and beast,
quickly decided that they were not
guilty. 1t turned out that the
intelligent warden had taken Mr..
SetonThompson's camera for
bear trap
This is about equal to the
prosecution of Temperance house
for selling liquor without license,
but two things have come Of it;
game warden has discovered that u
naturalist can hunt without IA gun
and the public has been Informed
that there are, in Colorado at least
laws to protect the game from the
reckless defamation of irresponsible
hunters Both facts are most graft
flying.
1t is rather significant, when
one comes to think of it, that civ
ilized man should be so addicted
to carrying firearms when he goes
into the woods that it should be
considered something remarkable
for him to be travelling there with
out them. 1t reminds one OF the
Hindoo Mozoomdar's little sar-
casm about the contrast between
the Englishman and the Oriental

a perfect example of the typic al
American beauty, and, as is the
case with all of this splendid type,

gencc. Hers is the type so large
ly drawn by Charles Gibson, How

and is probably the most popular
type in the public eye today, that
is, the public of this country, tho
it has swarms of admirers in other

abundance. Her chin is Just "A tri-

of winning way in the world in
the face of no mean opposition,
These qualities especially recon-
mend themselves to us in the dis
cussion of her merits, tho they
were, of course, not the only ones.
Hers is maturer type than Miss
Yeager's and her qualities would
arouse greater interest
in almost any assemblage for they
are more striking. Her eyes and
her hair are perfect. That the
expression and the shape of her
eyes are absolutely without peer
was the almost unanimous vote of
the entire jury on award and the
auxiliary committee. Her feat
ures are very good, too, that is, in
their relation one to the other, the
proportions are fine, and the neck,
shoulders and bust are simply
splendid. She is undoubtedly a

Mrs. Morris was great social
success as a maiden and has lost
none of her popularity since be-
coming a matron, altho she has
withdrawn from society to a GER
tain extent and devotes much time
to her home, one of the pleasant
est and most beautiful in her ma
tive city.
She belongs to but one club, t he
Wednesday club, an organization
of the brightest women of Mexico,
which is at present delving into
French history. Mrs. Morris takes
a prominent part in the work of
the club.
Her home life is pleasant, sur
rounded as it is with an atmos-
phere of the cd time hospitality
and filled with happenings of ele-
waiting influence, both spiritual
and mental. She is an accom-
plished musician, being a master
of both the vocal and instrument
al branches. At her graduation
from Christian college she was the
winner of the vocalists' medal and
was highly commended by her
teachers.
In 1897 Mrs, Morris, then Miss
Locke, was accorded the distinc-
ton of representing Mexico as
maid of honor at the Kansas City

by popular ballot. In the same
year, during which she graduated
from college, she was guest of
honor with the excursion of Mis-
