Origin of tho "Deyil."

An old story is to the effect that
Gutenberg. the first printer, was
one night working hard at his
trade. The devil was getting
around, as usual, noting how his
affairs prospered, He looked IN
upon the laboring typo and grew
curious. Finally he came INTO the
room and asked for an explanation
OF the new device. The inventor
told him all about it. The more
his majesty heard the better he
liked the idea. and at last asked
PERMISSION to take Il turn at the
hand press from which Gutenberg
was turning off numerous copies
with pleasure" The Satanic
visitor gave the lever u turn. and
the printer lifted the impressed

devil turned pale as he read the
line at the head of the page, No

what he assisted in printing has
never lett Inn. and from that day
to this whenever he gets chance
he mikes up the type and causes
all the printing errors he can.
Thus he represents the original of

GRANNY HILLYER, our able rep

fire and police board OF Denver by
introducing bill into the leglsla-

Mr.. Hillyer has introduced only
one other blll which provides for

 There is a wider range in the quality of pin than in that of just and the name of the weaver stands for more. for lt is only in tho best and most substantial houses that the finest quality of pima can be made, because In such houses the drafts are reduced to a minimum. the slightest breeze being sufficient to scat ter and tangle the gausy flores and seri- ously disturb the weaver.
 Fibre Used for Cloth.
 When a Filipino starts in to make some pima she has long. tedious task ahead of her. Pineapple plants are specially grown for this purpose. They are not permitted to bear fruit. with the result that the leaves are longer and tougher than in the fruit-bearing plants.
 The flores run lengthwise through the leaf and lie along the dark green upper side. just under the hard. shiny skin. As the least damage to the fibre would rem der 1t useless, great care must be taken in stripping it from the leaf.

 When the leaf has been trimmed of the spines along the edges and the tip cut off so as to make the flores of nearly nearly even length the Filipino sits down on the ground and takes one end of the leaf be- tween strong toes. The other end she holds in one hand. while with the free hand she scrapes away the pulp with the broken china scraper.
 Then she ties the big ends together in a knot and hangs the bundle up to dry in the sun. If it is desired to have the fibre pure white the drying is done in the house because the sunlight leaves 1t creamy shade, and 1t will not stand bleaching.
 Expert at Weaving.
 The hemp fibre for sinamay is prepar- ed in much the same way, except that being tougher less care is necessary in handling 1t.
 When any of these flores is ready for weaving the first thing to do is to make 1t up into coils. The Filipino is a patient woman. She ties fibre to fibre in the smallest and neatest of square knots, big end to lttleJe end, and clips the extending ends beyond the knot deftly and quickly with a sharp knife which she holds be- tween the third and little fingers of her right hand, so that 1t does not interfere with the work of tying yet is ready for

$500 s ent Trea atin 6 Daughter For Fits. Never Had Attack After Taking pr. Miles Restorative
 Nervine.

The most frequent cause of epilepsy or fall ing fits is an inherited tendency to nervous disease. Chronic headache in parents is the most common cause of fits in the efspFing, and strong relationship is shown, by the effects of treatment, between headache snd epilepsy. Dr. Miles NeTvine has q wonder ful record of cures of this terrible malady Read the following;
 "A few years ago l became interested In Dr. Miles Restorative Nefvine through read ing a small Lock published by Dc Miles Medical Co. My daughter, May Ellis. had been troubled with falling fts for four years I read in the book of daughter of Mr. A. B. OSgood, Palatka, Fla, that had been cured of fits, and wrote him for venhcation of the same. Upon receipt of his letter began the use of the Nervine for my child, who has never had an attack since the second dose was given her. Prior to the use ot the ke- storative Nervine had spent more than eight hundred dollars with different physscians for treatment of my little girl and she received no benefit whatever. 1 used ln all seven bottles of the NerVine and they were worth more to us than the eight hundred dollars spent prior to their use.

 The city of Belgrade. in which the assassi- nations took place. Is the capital of Servia. It lies upon a narrow. elevated peninsula. be- tween the rivers Save and Danube. The streets are wide and the place is generally dirty. The buildings are mostly of the AusStan style of architecture, except in the older part of the city, which was built during the domi- nation of the Turks. The royal palace. where the murders of the King and Queen took place, is in the center of the city. The building Is in two parts. and is disconnected. One part resembles a French chateau, and looks like . comfortable home It is two stories in height The lower floor is devoted to dining and re- ception rooms while the upper floor contains the living apartments The other section is across an areaway of about forty feet. and is a more pretentious structure. It is known as the New Konak. As described by William D. Curtis, in his book. "The Turk and His Lost Provinces" the exterior. we'll as the in- terior, is very pretentious. being of stuccoed brick, with elaborate mouldings, four stories high. and painted yellow. like nearly all the Government buildings and business blocks. Within is Q series of magnificent apartments equal to those in the palaces at Berlin and Vienna, designed by a French architect and finished with tapestries and gliding at a cost that was enormous for the sise and wealth of the country. f' tt.
 At the extreme point of the peninsula at the junction of the Save and Danube rivers. is a promonory. rising between 300 and 400 feet, with sheer clifts at both sides Here Q fortress WAS erected by the Romans before the time of Christ

It's own service on the instant. | The flores as they are tied together she winds on large spool made of fine strips of bamboo and highly polished This spool is shaped like the ftuetrum of a cone. SO that the coll wound on 1t may be easily removed by simply slipping it of the small end.
 The iibrs thus prepared and wound Is packed away until weaving time in jars of very fine. clean sand. which prevents 1t from becoming tangled or snaried in any way.
 The sinamay lbre is sometimes put through further process which removes the fine hard shell that covers it and makes it remarkably soft and brilliant. But this process also takes away q great deal of it's strength.
 It is coiIed in coarse mat with rice chaff and a little lime. and then wet and pounded with maui such as used for pounding the husks off rice. This makes an extremely delicate flament. which. when woven carefully, gives a cloth very much like silk in appearance.
 Looms are Primitive.
 The looms used by the Fflipinos are of tho crudest make. The frames are bam- boo, as in fact Is every else about them. On top of the frame a small pole lies loosely between two pegs Cords thrown over the pole at the ends support two maileras, or combs, through which the threads of the warp pass. half through one and half through the other.
 The combs are attached at the under side to a freddie worked by the foot of the weaver, so that one may be elevated and the other dropped at will. thus sepa- rating the warp threads so that ths shut tie may be thrown between them to make the wool.
 These combs are most iaboriously con- structed. Very fine strips of outer shell of bamboo are set together in q frames separated only by the two or threo threads which establish the distance to be maintained between them. For the finest, weaving some of these combs will have 800 or 600 teeth. Each comb is about Vara in length, although the texture woven Is rarely more than twenty inches in width.
 Up and down the frame this goes on un- til there are so many threads on the pegs as she wishes to have in the warp. If there are to be 800 she winds on the pegs of this frame @ single thread. made by tying the flores together. until it has covered all the pegs 500 times. The num- Der of pegs she covers represents the number of varas long the woven piece Is to be.
 Having the pegs filled she cuts across the ends. makes one set of ends fast to the drum at the rear of the loom and the other fast at the front. having led half of the threads through one comb and the rest through the other. divided them equally among the openings between the teeth.
 Then with her bamboo shuttle filled from another spool she is ready to weave. An industrious weaver, keeping steadily at it. can produce about a vara a day. And for all this work the price was q silver quarter with Uncle Sam's stamp on 1t!
