Leader of Troops in Philippines Used
to Live in Oklahoma.

Guthrie. O. T., May 1U-indlan Agent
Baldwin. formerly Of Anadarko, has
bobbed up in the Philippines 1t turns out
that Baldwins premature invasion OF the
Moro lake country is largely responsible
for the existing warfare in Mindanao.
Colonel Frank Baldwin has had a rather
remarkable career in the army, as evil
deaeed By the fact that he is said to be
the only officer TO whom two medals Of
honor have been awarded by act Of con-
eress. There is no finer fighting man in
the whole army list. and he would have
been far above his present rank today but
for his convivial tendencies He has al
WAYS been his own worst enemy when
there was a long period of peace and time
hung heavy on his hands. Like Lawton
ard some other noted fighting officers.
Including General L. S. Grant. he is at
his best when vital responsibilities are
heaped upon him, and he is not in the
least danger OF forgetting himself in the
presence Of the enemy. His men viii fol-

Baldwin's strength does not lie in fight

JIM HOUSTON

Endorses Bill Grimes Plan for
Benefit of Oklahoma.
IT CAN BE DONE EASILY
Then Big Fund Can be Made
to Help Citizens Directly.

GuErie. o. T, May 10.-Jas. J. Hous-
ton. secretary OF the school land board
is very much in favor of the idea OF the
Republican party taking up the free text
book proposition and pushing il on to sue
cess. Mr.. Houston. owing 70 his official
position has been enabled to watch the
situation closely and believes that Okla
honla should take one step forward and
aid the children OF poor parents TO secure
an education free Of all cost to them or
their parents. IN speaking about the mat
ter today, Mr.. Houston said:
Il think that the proposition Of Sec
rotary Grimes for providing free text
books for the school children Of Oklahoma
viii be one Of the grandest systems that
win be adopted by Oklahoma. and l have
no doubt that the Republicans viii adopt
the plan and do ali in their power to en-
graft it into the laws Of the future state -
Il now hold notes due TO the common
school fund, October of this year TO the
amount Of a little over $4,000. This
amount when collected VIII net about 81
for every school child in the territory.
Our rentals will probably increase in
about the proportion Of the increase of
school children. \ uniform system Of
text books purchased by the territory
should be bought at 50 per cent Of their
present cost. Wen bound text books
should last at least an average OF two
years and perhaps more. in this way 81
Of territory money can be made to do the
work Of 81 in the hands Of the individual.
1t is therefore my opinion that the in
come from school fund will supply the
text books to the children OF the territory.
This matter appeals 10 me as 1 can hearti-
~ appreciate that it is sometimes impos-
sible for parents TO buy the necessary
books and have seen the time that ! did
not know where the s. was to supply my
children books at the beginning Of the
term.
I'VE have a compulsory education law
and yet the teacher often finds il neces-
sary 10 send the children home because
they are not supplied with books.
I'm this way our school fund will &c
directly for the education Of the children
and not simply 10 relieve persons who
are able to pay taxes.
Free homes was the first great bless
ing which the Republicans in this terri
tory carried TO a successful conclusion
and the progressive spirit of the party
will not let this proposition fail.

ALL HER sPoRrRAInsoLD-ONFS
The 1npress OF Austria Never Had
One Made After Her Beauty
Began to Wane. -

When the empress of Austrie was
murdered recently various portraits
of her were shown, but the last of
these was at least 20 years old. Two
reasons were given for her refusal to
be photographed in later life. One
was that she feared a too general
knowledge of her features would de-
stroy her iucognito; second was that
the loss of her beauty was too great
modification for her to tolerate the
transfer of that to picture, says the
New York Sun. The change in the en-
press appearance was caused by her
grief and not by age. Her beautiful
chestnut hair was free from any trace
of gray tothe last.
An admirer of the dead princess has
just made collection of her portraits
and he finds that since 1873 no picture
of her was made from life Even the
paintings said to have been done from
life were in reality made from older
pictures.
One of the best portraits of the en-
press after 1878. when she refused ever
to pose again, was that made in 1877
by the artist George Raab. This is
the familiar portrait in. full court
dress. 1t was her favorite picture and
she frequently allowed it to be copied.
But she had never sat for it. All she
did was to lend the artistsone of her
court dresses. The face, was. OF
course, copied from the photograph of
1878
When Adam, of Munich, wanted to
paint the empress in 1856 he persuaded
the queen of Naples to intereede for
him. He was anxious to paint the en-
press on horseback. She was pleased
with the idea of, the picture and the
artist had visions of sittings which
would enable him to make historic
portrait. But he had to be satisfied
with her riding habit. her horse and
her dog. which she placed at his dis
posal. He also used for the face the
photograph made 10 years before.
In the same year profile picture of
Elizabeth was painted again on horse
back. 1t was asserted that the en-
press had posed for this picture, but
there was little foundation for the
story.
The truth was that Spanish pho
tographer one day succeeded in get
ting likeness as she stood in front
of her hotel in Valencia. It turned
out to be very good likeness, in spite
of the circumstances under which it
was taken. The photographer was in
cautious enough to exhibit an enlarge
ment of the picture in the window of
his atelier. The empress saw it.
bought all the copies and notified the
police to destroy the plate. 1t is sup
posed that copy of this picture may
have been found and used~for the sec.
ond painting made in 1856.

lstes than anything else. OF course,
there is variety in the coats for the
little misses, but it is variety that
is secured more in the way of trim
ming than otherwise.
The two coats shown in the illus
tratlon above are fair samples of the
comparatively Inexpensive garments
of the winter.
One is made of reversible tweed, its
outer coloring of dark blue being on
the inner side SO interviewer with
white as to secure a clearinghouse eff
feet, which is brought into effective
contrast in the collar, lapels and
cuffs, where stitched bands of the
plain blue tweed, divided by strap
pings of satin, are used as a border
ing. Triple cape collars edged with
stitching fall over the shoulders, and
pearl buttons fasten the doxole-
breasted front.
The other and sacque-shaped coat
is made in cigar-brown cloth, with
double-breasted fronts, and a collar
of clearinghouse tweed in brown and
white colorings. edged with triple
strappings of the brown cloth, the
lapels being in the plain cloth simply
finished with stitching and the cuffs
matching the collar.
The hat with this one has a crown
of velvet applique, with spray of for
get-me-nots and leaves in silken en-
broidery, and caught in eventually
with a band and bow of silk, the
frilled brim to match having it's full
ness all edged with tiny tucRs. 1t
can be made in any color, and both
coat and hat may be recommended
for everyday and school wear.

tions for winter, which in
clude the winter coat. For anyone
who would get out of doors the win
ter coat is a necessity. For those who
cannot afford them furs may be left
out of the winters consid era ton.
Ihey are not among the abso-
lutte necessities of life. The mother
with little daughters must think
also of not only her own coat
put for like warm garments for
her daughters. Health, if nothing
else, demands that the children be out
OF doors in the keen winter air, but
they must be warmly clad. and it is
thelr desire also to be prettily clad.
Both considerations are easily met
this winter for the woman who
neither desires nor can afford any Law
lsh expenditure for clothes. In fact
1t would seem that the designers of
our fashions for children had special-
~ in mind the great middle class when
they were at work upon the winter
modes. A few dollars will buy both a
servlcea bic and dainty coat of which
no girl need feel ashamed.
The straight coat, coming down TO
the shoe tops, and made with single,
double and triple capes, are the popu-
lar modes. In fact they are about the
only ones seen except in the very
fashionable circles, where the chill
dren are so often SO bedecked with
novelties that they appear more as

Charming Femininity in Tailor Mades

Their it got away from the feminine
the less its popularity, and so soon as
it's feminine features began returning
it's old-time popularity began to be in
evidence. The tailor-made gown Of
the winter is a strictly feminine gar
ment 1t has lost both the stiffness
and plainness that tended to make it
masculine.
The illustration shows fair sam
pie of the tailor mode of the winter
season. 1t is a coat and skirt cos
tune of nut-brown cloth, with pip
ings and facings of velvet and a novel
trimming of fancy silk braid, repre-
sents the latest achievement of these
favorite and fashionable tailors of
London and Paris, and by its a BIS olute
originality of design imparts a new
charm to the coat and skirt costume.
For the coat, while cut without a
collar at the neck, introduces a
species of cape-collar to give a be-
coming width to the shoulders, and an
exceedingly smart effect is secured
by the introduction of the braid. with
gold tags to finish off the ends, the
same pretty idea being repeated in
the waistband, which, after pursuing
its decorative career, above the seal
loped basque passes beneath the
longer fronts. The gracefully hang
ing skirt also introduces the com.
bined trimming of velvet and braid.
and the whole costume is a perfect ex.
ample OF the snartness of simplicity
when made by a master hand.

PREHIS rORIC COOKERY.
GREAT Ovens That Were Used by the
Early Inhabitants of the Salt
River Valley.

Just south of Tempe, in the Sal.
river valley, Arizona, are found the re.
mains of extensive buildings, sup
posed to have been even larger than
the famous Casa Grande. They are
now but mass of mounds, but the
foundations of one which has been
recently traced measures 275 feet in
length and $50 feet in width. Ex-
cavations have brought to light a mum.
Der of eastufas, or ovens, of such gener-
Gus dimensions that they must have
sutiiced for entire cities. Several were
found measuring 16 feet in depth bv
20 in width. Nearly all were lined
with copper carbonate ore, that has
fused in places, forming a metallic
sheet.
study of the ground shows that
after the Goals had burned down.
they were drawn out, and the CAVITY
was practically closed. Into the hole
were piled the beans, the corn and
the mescal root until the top of the
pile was level with the surface Of
the ground.
Over all appears to have been spread
a thick roofing of mud, quantity of
water being added before the es-
tufa was made air tight.
The mass was probably. then al.
lowed to cook for number of hours
something after the manner of a
Rhode Island clambake.
1t is further conjectured from tn.
corn found in earthen jars that after
being steamed the corn was. then
dried to become the staple article
Of food for the winter. In the same
mounds were found a number of
stone metatis and grinders; Showing
the primitive process of dwelling. and
large variety Of pottery, some in an
excellent state of preservation. In
shape and decorations, the ollas or

made by the Zuni. Pueblo and Man
