A Denver milliner has a soft spot
in her heart for horses. On a recent
trip to New York she made a note
Of the horses hats, which had not yet
penetrated beyond the Mississippi. AZ
a result she took home 500 hats for
horses, and when the first hot day
struck Denver she advertised that
she would give them away to the first
corners. AS a consequence the west
ern horse is probably prepared to rise
up and call that particular milliner
blessed.

Beautiful Village Of Paldtidl

- HEvY CASE is the suburb which
society has taken unto itself
Though not one of the oldest OF
Washington's suburbs, yet it certainly
is one of the most beautiful. and GER
tainly worthy of the honor which has
been done it as the spot chosen by the
haut monde OF Washington for their
particular semi-rural residence.
Chevy Chase is purely a social and
permitted TO cast the blight of unattrac-
tive or ugly shops and buildings upon
the general artistic plan of the suburb.
But this lack of stores makes no incon-
venience to housewives, for the INSTALL
alton of the city telephone system, the
system Of delivery wagons in vogue
among the urban dealers, and an eff
cient and punctua1 car service provides
against any such possibility.
The resident population of Chevy
Chase is between 200 and 900, but this
cannot be said to be its real population,
much of their time in the pleasant con-
fines of Chevy Chase. On the cars which
make the six-mile run from the Treasury
in thirty-flve minutes exactly, leaving
every fifteen minutes, many visit the
beautiful suburb every day, but of
course the trip can be made delightfully."-

s Father Of Waters.

Unpre cedentedly high water in the Mis-

Minneapolis waterworks,, tho the authori
ties do not believe that this city will ever
be cut off rom water and left in total
darkness, ns some saof the cities Of the
southwest have been recently.
The Camden Place pumping station has
been put out Of commission by water, but
that was when a main broke and filed the

flooding the boaler and engine rooms and
putting out the fires in the furnaces. The
pumphouse there Is protected from the
river by a levee which is wide enough for
a driveway. Often the stage Of water in
the river has been higher than the fur
mace fires, but the water has been kept
out by the bikes.
The river has been known to attain a
level even with the levee-103 feet, and
should the Mississippi river break records
1t would overflow the dixie and drown out
the pumping station.
By next summer, however, the new
Northeast pumping station across the
river will be at work, and this is in much
better shape. The level Of the grounds
is 1o8 feet and the boiler-room floor one
foot; higher. While the flood level is esti
mated at los feet, it has never been known
to exceed 103 feet. The boilers are thus
six feet above the highest known water
mark, and the authorities have no fear
for. this pumping station, even If the
Camden Place upmps should be drowned
Should there at any time be serious APP
prehenston for the safety of the new
pumps. it would be comparatively easy tt
throw up a three or four foot dixie.
Furthermore, the Mississippi river al
this point is. a comparatively small stream
and has not many feeders above the falls
That it will go on rampage is extremely
unlikely.
