prayers. When Mrs. Gray likes anythin'
she don't have to- tell me. an the same's

ism t, economical in many things, but she
understands how to save words an that's
a: gift it would be well if more folks had.
Well says I after I'd locked at the
statue from all four sides, says L: It's
damaged an. it was for it hadn't any
arms, an what's more there's man in
South Minneapolis who makes the same
thing, only his are cleaner an smaller,
for the parlor table, says I. But Mrs.
Gray didn't hear me, an it wasn't long

Maybe that%Venu was damaged an may
be she was dirty, there were folks It came
in an giggled an says she was, but then
there's many t can't see .anythn' in a
pie but the crus' an there's others don't
care for much but the film. 1t takes
a broad-minded person 'th a good appe-

We didn't waste much time on any but
the first, an the guide book to- us where
they were. Mrs. Gray got real put out
goin'@fnto EXPLANATIONS over some picture
when she'd fin it wasn't in the guide
book. Well says I, there are jes' as
good peoplpe whose names aren't in the

Is IT wonder if Mr.. Lowry's ever been to
Paris. Seems if he has dunno why he
don't take after. the French in runnin'
street. cars Nobody ought to be above
takin' suggestions from other folks If
they're good an don't cos anythin' an
you can't crowd into Paris street car
the way you do in Minneapolis. Mr.. an
Mrs: owen sfoun, that out. They were
goin' down to the bastile That's place
where a historic buildin' once stood. If
you dunno what anythin' Is in Paris It's
pretty safe to put it down as historic.

she thought It artichoke was history

when they were laughin' at her. I know
what the Bon Marcia is says she.
But, as was sayin', Mr.. and MIS-. Owen
were goin' down to where the Bastile
used to be. Mr.. Owen put Mrs. Owen on
the car an was goin' to step on himself,
but the conductor says there wasn't room
for any more, an he started of, leavin'
Mr.. Owen on the boulevar' an takin'
Mrs. Owen along tn him. Mr.. Owen took
the mex car an followed her. but she
was alys fifteen minutes ahead. an she
didn't have wit though to get off at the
Bastile an wait for him. She says It
Mr.. Owen knew where she was, an If he
wanted her he could get her, which he
didn't do It'll she was goin' roun' Paris
on her third trip. They never wen to
the Bastile at all, for Mrs. Owen thought
1t was unlucky, tho she was mighty
pleased to see Paris three times for 10
centimes, which is the same as cents.

often as not the three or four little
capes make the entire sleeve.
The very full bishop sleeve, consisting
of a. single huge puff, gathered at the

the fashionable girls favor and Is very
likely to stay there for quite some time to
come, and this because of its many ex-
cellences, In the first place, it is quaint
and lends itself well to the designs cur-
rent for the new mode; and in the second
the dainty frills and generous f1uffinesses

dinner corsage need not be crushed when
they are carefully bestowed into one OF
these full bishop puffs. In these latter

girl whose grandmother has saved all the
priceless pieces of lace which went to

pieces into the sleeves and collars of her
new costumes. justsas her grandmother:

With the coming of the autumn days
the fashionable girl will take on quite a.
new appearance. She will look different,
SO very different, in her new fall wrap
that we may not recognize her at just
the first glance. In her; furry summer
finery, with its many frills and floating
ends, she looked such dear butterfly Of
a creature that we quite lost our hearts to
her. But this autumn she will appear in
another role. She will be the stately lady
of the days of the Directoire, Of the First
Empire, and around her will be the halo
of romance which belonged to the time
when the first Napoleon was master Of
Europe, but when the power behind the
throne was-as always-woman And in
this she will be more bewitching than
ever. 81 5 - .sS s ~

Citizenship Claimed by Joins.

Washington, October 2O.-Argument began yesterday in the supreme court of the United States in the citizenship case of the United States vs. Joins, who seeks to compel his acceptance as member of the Chickasaw tribe. He was one of about 4000 persons who, having failed to secure registra- tion, were subsequently adjudged by the United States district court to be entitled to that privilege. Having se- cured this decision, Joins now resists the right of the Choctaw and Chicka- saw citizenship court to review the decision, asserting the law by which the latter court was created to be un- constitutional. The two tribes are now resisting Joins petition. If his conten- tion should be sustained, the result would be to admit about 4000 persons to Indian citizenship at a cost of not less than $20,000,000 to existing mem- berS

Sir Robert FinIay Opposes the Taxa

London, October 20.-Speaking at Inver- ness tonight, Sir Robert Finlay, the att torney general. said he did not favor the taxation of food as a method of giving preference to the colonies. He thought the threat of retaliatory duties to be strong weapon with which the government might secure wider markets for British trade.
 He doubted the efficacy of preferen- tial treatment to the end of consolidating the empire, and said he thought an i'm perial council in which the colonies would have share in the affairs of the, empire would do more to bring about consolida- tion than any conceivable tariff system

When you read that sufferer of many years standing has been completely re- stored to health by using Smiths Cure all, you are inclined to doubt the state- ment and in fact, have no belief in it whatever. The reason for this is that so much is claimed for the Curezall it is im- possible for anyone to believe it. if the ad- vertiser confined his claims to the cur ing of one disease, as do the proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure readers would have much more faith in published testi- monials. Those familiar with this great remedy know that testimonials as to it's merit may be relied upon implicitly also that the cures brought about by it's use are little short of marvellous The gen. uineness of the testimonial here given is vouched for and is but one of thousands received:
