WON ON HIS LEFT T.Ec

One of the men who took an ex- animation held some months ago by the Civil Service Commission of candidates for keeper Of the city prison was a man named Michael F. Conlan. He passed mental examination. but when it came to the medical test, the doctor told him that he could not go on the eligible list because he was not up to the minimum height of five feet inches.
 Say, doctor, measure me stadin' on me left fut," Conlan appealed.
 What do you mean?" asked the ex- aminer.
 ''Well, one of me futs is longer than Ft'other and mebbe I can make good on me biggest leg" Conlan explained.
 The medical examiner took Conlan at his word. He found that Conlan stand on his right heel was feet 61s inches tall, while when standing on his left heel he was 5 feet inches. Whether or not Conlan ought to be passed on his left leg or rejected on his

BASKETS AND BEADS
CRAZE PREDICTED TO REACH
 LIMIT THIS WINTER.

work Produced by the Various Trlbes
 ta Diff.rent-Norshyest noccastns of searsIfn.
 The present winter will probably see The limit of the Indian basketry and beadWork craze, which began about two years ago as an outgroWth of the work of certain collectors, says the Washington Post. Not until the present winter. however, has the craze reached a point where, like the fad for Japanese curios, pocketbool1s, etc., the weaving of beadwork and basketry is going on in nearly every household, and objects of Indian handiwork are being worn by people of all classes.
 Last season one of the large depart ment stores of the capital laid in stock of Indian basketry. These sold like hot cakes. Now, to cap the climax, an enterprising dealer in Twelfth street northwest has not only laid in an inn mense stock of Indian goods, but along with it all he has secured quite a number of the implements, bead looms, needles and other tools and appliances used by the aborigines. He has, as we'll, an Abenaki squaw, who is giving daily lessons in the moccasin making and beadwork at his store on the street above mentioned. The Indian maiden, who calls herself Miss Ahrwaneda, halls from the borderland of Maine and Canada, where for many years past the Indians have carried on a lively busi- ness in moccasin making. Of the vari- ous kinds of beadwork now being taught, it is worth while drawing at tention to the fact that there is a great difference between the beadwork pro- duced by the various tribes, fact not always appreciated by those who have become attached to the fad. The weav- ing of bead watch fobs, belts and gar ters on bead looms was taught to white men by the Ojibwas of northern Michi- gan and Wisconsin, the same art being either unknown or practiced to a very small extent among other tribes. The beads are actually woven by means of a needle, which takes the place of a shuttle, working in and out of the threads stretched over miniature loom. When the belt or garter is nnish- ed the Ojibwas attach long, streaming tassels of different colored yarns to the threads at either end.
 HANDSOMEST OF ALL.
 Those who are now learning the art of bead weaving depart from this style i'll various ways. The same art was known also to the Iroquois the Otta- was, and the Abenalzis, who of old wove their wampum belts in this way. Again, the nloecasins made by the Iro- quois, Abenakis, and other eastern In- dians are quite unlike the ones manu-

none of the strikers have yet returned

are now going out in sympathy with
strikers already out, the latter are
making such noisy demonstrations and

REBELLION QUICKLY ENDED,

Associated Press. Morning Service.
PANAMA, April 1.-THE rebellion
which broke out shortly after the sign
ing of the Panama Canal treaty by
Colombia has been ended through the
recapture by government troops of the
mountain town of San Carlos.
San Carlos is a small town near the
Magdalen river and about one hundred
miles north of Bogota, the capital of
Colombia. The revolutionists had hoped
to secure the aid of people in all the
territory lying near the isthmus in
fighting against the government on
the grounds that Colombia had not re-
ceived a large enough sum for her
rights at Panama but this aid did not
materialize as the people around the
isthmus are well satisfied with the pro-
visions of the treaty.
