-~ THOUGH children, and
ENS& babes of larger growth,
AES are annually brought face
SSMA 30 face with their en-
NY chanting hero, Robinson
~ Crusoe, through the medi-
um of the picturesque pam
tomime, American sentiment has
not yet gone the length of
building new town, model
ing it's houses after the style
of architecture adopted by Defoe's
handy man for his summer residence,
Gaping the whole enterprise by
christening the place with the name
of the immortal castaway of the
lonely isle.
The French have apparently been
far more enthusiastic on the subject.
So long ago as 1848, in the midst of
a verdant district situated within q
few convenient miles of Paris, the
first Crusoe hut was erected. In this,
light refreshments were served to
those who happened to pass along
the highway.
The originator was one Guesquin,
and he could have justly flattered
himself that his venture Caught on
with the Partisan public. His one
hut soon became two-and then
three. Crusoe land began to grow.
Guesquin thought that if some of the
huts were erected in trees the nov
city and pleasure would be added to.
Although Robinson Crusoe never
lived in a hut built in the branches
of tree, the Swiss family Robinson
did, and in due course the trees were
called upon to.bear new burden.
Rival caterers established more
huts, and it became Partisan fash
ion on holidays to dine or lunch in
tree. And so the little town grew;
and it was called Robinson. 1t be-
came a famous resort. For over half
century Parisians and others have
been given the opportunity of emu
lating Robinson Crusoe and that en-
terprising family from Switzerland
who came after him in adventurous
story.
AS patrons continued to grow in
numbers higher and higher the tree
huts assembled, until they were
perched almost on the very topmost
branches, and Robinson has become
the one place in the world where res
taurants abound high above terra
frma, and where one may OBJ
tain dainty Partisan lunch or din
ner, or cup of coffee, served as well
as in many good-class establishments
on the boulevards.
No doubt a great deal of the sue
cess of the original undertaking was
owing to the position selected; the
surroundings are in keeping with the
idea. The views to be seen from the
tree restaurants are beautiful. Miles
and miles of the district are COM
manded from even the lower huts,
and the country is picturesque and
well-wooded. On clear day, distant
villages and chateaux peeping from
wealth of foliage present delight
full scene.
Natural woodland beauty is mingled
with magnificent gardens and vine
yards. No wonder that Robinson is
one of the most popular resorts
about Paris.
The chief of these aerial establish
ments-of which there are at least
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1903-06-26

bands of whalebone and ribbons COM
pared with the steel-ribbed, unyield-
ing 'straitjackets" worn some years
ago. The corset of to-day is made on
entirely different lines, being short, of
soft material, with but couple of
bones, and it is shaped on hygienic and
physiological principles, giving the in
ternal organs a proper amount of
space and freedom, and allowing ample
play for the movements of the ribs and
upper chest in breathing.
Probably one of the most prolific
agents in bringing about this fortu-
nate change is the modern devotion to
outdoor games, pastimes and pur-
suits. No woman squeezed up in an
old-fashioned corset such as our
mothers wore, could, even had she
dreamed of such thing, walk half
mile, let alone run and stoop, strike at
ball, manipulate fishing rod, or
paddle canoe. And the results are
most gratifying, for never in the
worlds history has there dwelt such a
race of strong, healthy girls and beau
tiful, graceful and happy women as
we are.

AS for wedding parties, on the day
of our three-hour visit certainly no
fewer than a dozen of newly-wedded
couples, accompanied by innumer-
able friends, drove up from time to
time-in smart carriages everyone.
Bridegrooms in evening dress, and
girls in bridal costume, wells and all,
wandered about the grounds, or
cooed together high up in the trees
all minus the least expression of
concern, taking everything, and be-
ing taken by everybody else, as u
matter of course.
In the grounds of each establish
ment are from two to half dozen
lofty trees, and it is in each of these

more than ever the vogue. The illus
trations show two charming models
of the collarless blouse.
Writing of blouses leads us on to
the subject of waists. The wasp-like
size are no longer fashionable, or at
least will not be within short time.
Fashion has at last decreed that we

of the beauties of the natural unham-

to us the examples of the world of art
and the figures of the old masters.

but are being placed on the shop coup-
ters and in the show rooms quite as
fast as they arrive, and what is more
they are finding buyers quite as fast
as displayed. This latter statement
is evidence of the extravaganza of the
times, an extravaganza which seems
to grow with each new day.
Prettiest among all the new impor-
tations are the new Partisan blouses.
They are without collars, and are cut
in the all-round style of two genera
tions ago. But the blouses are not the
only garments that take us back to our
grandmother's time. There are any
number of evidences of the revival of
those days, and among these may be
mentioned the furs, and now comes
a prediction that we shall soon see
the poke bonnet once more. We might
do worse at that.

No Harm Done.

But it may be a great benefit if we
call your attention to the fact that if
you buy the genuine P. D. Back
with Round Oak heating stove you
will be better satisfied by the work
ing of this stove than any other stove
that you can buy, as it will hold the
heat the longest and throw out the
heat to the surface better than any
other stove made. 1t is a fuel saver
and while you pay little more for
the stove at fist, in one years time
you make it up. We have the Gar
land, latest improved round oak stove
at s1.00 or $500 cheaper and we
have the L. S. and the Comstock at
several dollars cheaper. The main
thing in buying stoves is to be salts
fed, as you are not buying stoves
every year, they will be your COM
panion, hence you want something
good, the same with cook stoves and
steel ranges. If you buy the Garland
you will buy as good as are made,
and should you want something not
qnite so expensive and yet just as
large we have them in several other
makes, all of them thoroughly guar
anteed, but as stated before you will
find the cook stove is her constant
companion and the best is none too
good for her, therefore get the
Garland and be satisfied.
You have tried great many washing
machines no doubt and you have as
often went back to the old wash board
because the machine did not suit you,
we'll you get the Ocean Wave washing
machine of us and you will find it
just what you have been Looking for.
Now is the time when most folks
are preparing for winter and are buy
ing new beds, mattresses, carpets,
curtains, rugs, etc. Well we are just
the people that can suit you in these
goods as we have them at most any
price you want. Wall paper sells the
whole year round, at.least it does with
us and we are selling lots of it now
and we are selling it cheap in order
to make room for our spring stock
We think it would pay you to see our
elegant patterns we have left at prices
you will never get again.
Dishes. When you want one dish
or hundred dishes, when you want
one cup or a dozen cups, when you
want anything in the dish line for the
dining room or the kitchen or the bed
room, it will pay you to take look at
our selection, as we have a greater
stock than has ever been had in Great
Bend and we are closing out some
odds and ends at most any price.
You are always welcome, come ano

DAVIS AND HIS FRIENDS.

The Pensacola Press says that "Our
Bob" is patriotic enough to do most
anything.
IL intimates that he has a. much
love and reverence for General Bull
lOck-Marion's "favOrite sOn"-as has
the Hon. c. NJ. Brown AID intimates
that be would cheerfully initiate the
example of Mr.. Brown and retire
from the race and let the old veteran
and hero have clear passage to the
gubernatOrial office were it not for
the fact that be is "in the hands of
his friends" aud that they will not
permit him to 'step down and out"
for any purpose whatsoever.
II occurs to us that Mr.. DAVIS
friends are doing him dirt and the
honorable gentlemen may well ex-
claim as did famous man afOretime:
"Oh, save me from my friends"
In the congressional contest Mr..
Davis had a cinch. He had served
six years in the popular branch Of Con-
gress; he had become familiar with
its rules and was on friendly terms
with the statesman of the country, so
was in q position to serve his state
with a greater measure Of distinction
than ever before.
This being true, why did his friends
pull him down.
In the one, he had the advantage
of experience-in the other, he can
claim 10 such superiority.
The one was certain and the salary
and perquisites six thousand year
the other uncertain and the salary
twenty-five hundred q year and 40
perquisites.
Well may the Putnam states
man exclaim:
save me from my friendsr
Then his friends erected for him
that awfully undignitied platform:
"Our Bob'-"he jes laffs :"
Forced to aoandon this platform
from sheer ridicule his friends" next
had him To say that his record" was
his platform" and thus force the
poor voters TO the herculean effort of
searching the voluminous volumes of
the Journals OF the Legislature and
Congressional Records for the past
tel years.
Surely Mr. Davis feels like pulling
his hair and exclaimiug:
save me from my friendsn
II We were Mir. Davis We would RE
in our dignity and might and shake
ourselves of these Job-like friends,
show an individuality and Initiating
the example of Mr.. Brown help make
the welkins ring for Gold Bob Bull
lock, - and let him round up his splen-
did life a. governor of the state he has
servedlsO long.
This would be patriotic thing to
do and would shed great glory upon
the state, and Mr.. Davis indeed and
in fact would be hero.

SHOULD SENATOR TaLIaFEaRo BE
REIlRED7

hd0 Ten minutes cOuNeISdLiOu WIN
Senator TaliaferrO in his life; he has
never received communication from
him of any description whatever,
except single letter asking to have
his maine recorded as a subscriber To
this paper.
80 it cannot we'll be urged that we
have been "drugged" to any great
extent.
1t is we'll known, also, that the
Ocala Banner did not support Mr..
Taliaferro for the nomination when
he was first elected. On the contrary,
it opposed him to the extent of its
influence.
1t, however, thinks that he is fairly
entitled TO denomination and that
it is doing n public service to use its
influence in having him returned to
the United States senate.
It could not, indeed, in the face Of
his record, do otherwise.
1t has been the unbroken precedent
of the democratic party of Florida
even since its admission into the
Union to give its senators and repre-
sentatives at least two terms in office
and We see no good reason why the
precedent should now be broken.
1t is everywhere and by everybody
acknowledged that Senator Taliaferro
has made an exceptionally fine rec
ord.
1t may be due TO "Iuck"-it may
be Just happen sO"-but the fact
nevertheless remains that he has
made most useful member.
We had been dallying and strug-
Cling with the Indian War Claims
bill for upwards of twenty years
without making any appreciable pro-
gress towards its settlement.
Every senator and congressman
had his turn at the wheel with the

When the claim got into the hands
OF Senator Taliaferr0, almost like
magic, it passed TO a successful issue
and the state became enriched ia tie
SUN of more than a half million
dollars.
Under his influence the apprOpria-
tons for the improvement of our
rivers and harb)rs became prodigeous
aud the aged survivors of our Indian
wars were all placed on the pension
rolls.
Without glitter or show, or the
noise of fife or drum, most unostenta-
tiously, Mr.. Taliafrrro has, indeed,
made "A real fiash-like record that has
reflected most refulgently upon the
credit Of the state; so We repeat, that
he is fairly entitled to a renomina-
ton.
Without any personal bias for Mr..
Taliaferro or prejudice towards the
other candidates for this office, it
occurs 10 us that if the voters of
Florida are just and fair, and gener-
Gus, and we believe they are, they
will vote for his return.
