The weekly issue Of the "FREIE

It has over 400 established

an extended circulation in Mexi-

in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston

Two travelling men and oul
very active local agents are con:

Tail0r-Made d.
for Spring

The short skirt being now a fashion
able fixture, is, of course, receiving a
very special amount of attention from
the aides-de-camp of fashion, each one
of whom seems to be striving to pre-
sent this favored garment in specially
attractive form.
The model shown here is of hopsack
tweed, in a shade of gray light enough
to be pleasantly suggestive of spring:
like weather, and yet not too light to
be thoroughly serviceable. The smart
little sacque coat is made distinctive
by it's wide, b~ell-shaped sleeves, and
its prettily-shaped collar of white
cloth, strapped with black satin, while
then the. cleverly-cut skirt is gored
to the knees, where its wide plaits be-
gin to open out into a most becoming
fulness, and are arranged to clear the
ground all round.
Another sacque-coat costume that
is attractive and simple is of royal blue
cheviot, the gored skirt having all it's
seams finished with rows of stitching,
and a stitched strapping of the cheviot
bordering the fronts of the sacqu
coat, which, you see, is cut without COL
lars or revers; and so well-cut too,
that it looks equally we'll when worn
either open OF closed. The, skirt is,
in this case, allowed to touch the
ground all round.

ribbon, and beneath the belt is to be
seen a very convincing front of ecru
lace over pink silk; a large bow of the
silk adorns the 'front.', while an edging
of narrow black velvet on the bows
and rows of it down the front complete

Another is a heliotrope silk cravat.
edged with gold cord and finished with
a couple of cascades of cream lace.
Quite new and pleasing is the stole
collar. This is composed Of a rather
course brown lace over cream satin,
the trimming consisting Of rose pink
chenille balls and edging, while a motif
of the same ribbon, only much wider,
is arrangedSto fall over-the front ofthe
bodice. The lining is cream satin.
Smart, too, is the ribbon belt with
long sash ends made up over lace; in
black 1t can be worn with any dress,

many Of questionable moral character,
and instead of these colonies turning
out to be "hells on earth they became
in time measurably respectable COM

But with Russia's criminal colony
on Saghalien island the case is differ
ent,, both because of the small size Of
the island and its poor natural adj
vantages. The awful condition in this
hell on earth have remained a sealed

with the most jealous care, but an En-
glishman named Charles 81. Halves, at
the risk of his life, and the enduring Of
extreme hardships, has penetrated
the region where 5000 murderers are
turned loose upon each other. Prac-
tically all the inhabitants are murder
ers, the others consisting of a, mere
handful of officials and soldiers, and a
few who have been banished to the
place. for lesser offenses. Whenever
the officials feel it necessary for their
safety they do not hesitate to
shoot down the. convicts like dogs, but
they do not interfere with the inhab-
itants- when they are merely murder
ing n another. It is probable that a
murder is committed somewhere on
the island every day. While Mr.. HAYES
was at the little settlement of Alexan-
drovsk four murders were committed,
one, that of a boy, in the house where
he was stopping. He photographed
one man who had a record of eight
murders and he was considered a dis,

sort of citizens will they make? What
sort of children will they bring into
the world? It is the contemplation
of these two question that has start
ed the present crusade against child
labor.
Both inside and outside the mines
children work for the coal men, and
while the work itself is not particu-
larly arduous, the conditions sur
rounding the immature wage-earners
are unhealthful, as is attested by
their pale faces, stunted figures, lack
of vitality and childish spirits. In
the mines the little coal employees
tend the doors and drive the mules;
outside at the breaker some are en-
gagged in picking over slate and 9TH
ers drive the mules used for draw
ing the loaded cars. Eleven hours a
day the children in the Pennsyl-
vania mines have been accustomed to
work; the little slate pickers almost
continually bent over at their work.
The children employed in mercan-
tile establishments are comparatively
lucky, the discipline received and the
neatness required being of educa-
tional value. And in this work the
worker has an opportunity to rise,
may be able some day to arrive at a
we'll remunerated position. A writer

Fancy runs riot within the demure,

ably pretty turnovers with it. The
tabs are finished in French knots, runs
of stitching, or tiny satin or passe-
menterie buttons.
White taffeta silk stocks stitched in
lines of color have a plaid band about
the base with pointed ends which pass,
crossing each other, through silk COW
cred rings in front. This gives almost
the effect of a bow, yet is fiat.
The fine lingerie stocks are an es.
pecial feature this season, and a pre-
Vailing note among them is the use
of bias bands fagotted together. Often
Irish lace insertions form the body
of the stock and tabs, and this inser-
ton is edged by several rows of the
fagotted lingerie folds. Sometimes
the folds are made of colored lingerie
batiste and the result of the combina-
| ton is charming.

1-lHILE we perhaps have

attitude toward child
A workers as England once
AAA was, yet much blame &C
to us because of our
neglect of the little toilers. Once in
England's history children of both
sexes were engaged in unhealthful Ia
Dor in her coal mines; when girls
and boys Of. six years, mere babes,
were put into the mines and under
harsh taskmasters forced to exert
their puny strength. We who marvel
at this wrong against childhood
should open III eyes at conditions
that exist to-day in our own land.
To-day there are more children I'M
der IS years of age employed in the
United States than in either Eng
land, Italy or Germany, in proper
ton to the population.
From time to time all over the
country voices are lifted in protest
against the evils of child labor, but
factory, mine, mill and other indus
tries have been able to get all the
children workers they wanted. Of
late a new crusade against the wrong
has been started, and it now looks as
though the movement, which is very
widespread, was going to bring about
effective reforms. Jealous factory in

range from the severe in point of plain
ness to the daintiest of ornamentation
and elaboration.
Fashion has adopted the fat tab
finish in front, in place of the band,
of last spring. The tabs may be long
or short, narrow or wide, single or
double, the ends of a strap running
around the base of the stock, or the
t%urnovers at top of the stock; cut in
one with the stock, or stitched on as
an afterthought; but tabs there must
be.
The bowhasnot entirely disappeared,
however. It is still found in the con-
seryative houses whose mandates in
shirt-waist realm have weight, and
it will have its loyal friends all sum-
mer, for the bow is chic and pretty and
does not look old-fashioned as MANY
modes do, the instant they lose fash
ions first favor. Still, the ministerial
tabs are chic and pretty, too-and they
are new.

conspired to accomplish with her COM
bination of cold and moisture, deadly
winters and billiards, with periods of
excessive heat.
Russia is not the first and only ma
ton to resort to transportation in dis
posing of it's criminal classes. Ancient
Greece gave to the world the first step
in this method of dealing with the i'm
moral, dissolute and dangerous, al
though it was not this class of offend
ers which was subjected to Danish
ment, but rather some patriot of COM
manding talents and splendid achieve
ments, such as Miltiades, Themistocles
Aristides, or some political minority,
borne down in it's death-struggle for
ascendancy by the overwhelming force
of an opposing faction. The Roman
empire, however, speedily adopted the
system to her own needs and trans.
portation as a punishment for crime
was inaugurated. And these practices
of the ancient law. seem to have been
afterwards materialized and estab-
lished in most of the states of modern
Europe. The first of the European ma
lions to do this a Portugal, and
Spain adopted the system almost atthe
same time, the latter, however, did not
act in so systematic a manner; having
merely extended pardon to certain
descriptions of criminals confined in
the iails of the mother country, on con-
dition of their enlisting as soldiers or
sailors, OF as mental servants generally
to be employed exclusively in the col
onies in the new world. The Portuguese,
on the other hand, appearto have been
long in the habit Of sending regular
draughts of convicts, to be employed
at hard labor, to their colonial settle
