designs have been evolved by the chill
dren, and their interest in the work can
be noted any pleasant afternoon in stroll
past the homes, for one is sure to see
the small weavers on the verandas and
steps with their looms and beads
Time has not diminished the craze for.
bead chains in Minneapolis, and the am
bition of every weaver is to duplicate
every pretty pattern she sees. Some Of
the more enthusiastic carry note books in
which they jot down items in regard to
color and design.
'"There are few days in which we do
not have more than one inquiry in regard
to- bead chains said young woman
who presides over the punches of many
colored beads in a popular store; II don't
think I ever knew a fad that ragged SO
furiously to last so long. Some women
must have made them by the dozens from
the amount of beads they have pur-7
chased and they are as interested in
new pattern to-day as they were when,
they first began. I had an amusing let-5
ter from an out-of-town woman yester-s
day who wanted me to put her In com
municatiOn with some one with whom she
could exchange patterns. The women from
the small towns are just learning OF the
fad and are writing for information. Here
is a letter in which the writer asks to;
be told everything about bead work" We
patterns started and careful directions
for working it fastened to the threads
Minneapolis seems to have corner
on beads, If .one may Judge from the,
complaints of travellers. Said one:
eve couldn't find such an assortment.
of colors in Chicago or New York as there
are here and the beads that sell for ff-
teen cents in Minneapolis we had to pay
forty for. We introduced the making OF
chains at several southern resorts, and
when we left the women were ranged in
rows on the veranda, each with loom
and a box Of beads
The bead weavers have been rather
amused at a man around town who has
been wearing a four-in-hand tie of bead
work and wondering if that will be the
next development. Several men have
planned to wind the bands of gay beds
around their soft felt hats at the lake this
summer, but it is a qeustion whether their
example will find many followers, altho
fashion writer's assure us that the beaded
band will be feature Of women'S out
ing hats.
The beaded bags are already casting
their shadows over the weavers and one
of the stores has sent for stock of silk
threaded with the beads according to a.
pattern and which will be knit or cro-l
cheted into a design of a meeting house
and weeping willow or gdrlands Of flow
erS. One OF Clle masculine W6dVeFS WAS
examining the bag which his wife had
made while she was south.
II don't believe can get the hang Of
this he said. *S
81 don't believe you cam she agreed
with discouraging promptness. You
never learned to knit
Il never knew how to weave until two
months ago. he retorted, still intent on
the gay little bag.
Perhaps it is the bright colors that ap-
peal to the masculine eye, but whatever
it is the men who have taken to bead
weaving seem to find it quite as fascinat-
ing as the women do.

colonial railway just before midnight near
Windsor junction, seventeen miles from
Halifax. s.
The trains in collision were the Cana
dian Pacific railway express from Mon
treal and Boston for Halifax, and fast
freight from Halifax to Montreal. The
conductor and driver of the freight had
orders to take the siding at Windsor
Junction and let the express cross, but
for some unknown reason the driver Of
the freight ran past the junction on the
main line and met the express two miles
beyond. It is thought that Copeland may
have lost control Of his train, which was
made up Of seventy-f1ve cars. The freight
was running twenty five miles an hour,

IN WONDERLAND
The President Said to Have Potted
a Mountain Lion.

Helena, Mont, April ia dispatch
from Gardiner, near Fort Yellowstone,
states that President Roosevelt Saturday
hunted mountain lions twenty-five miles
from Yancey's on Slough creek and that
he killed one.
In company with Major Pitcher, acting
superintendent of park and a guard of
soldiers, he left Fort Yellowstone Thurs
day morning for Yancey's, fifteen miles
east of Mammoth Hot Springs, from
where he went to Slough creek. He will
shoot no animals protected by the rules
of the park, but lions, wolves and coyotes
kill deer and elk and may be shot without
violating regulations. :,
The president left Fort Yellowstone in
excellent spirits. No members Of the
presidents party accompanied him to
'Yancey's. The trip was not an especially
difficult one, as the soldiers had broken a
trail thru to the Yellowstone From Yam
cey's the president will probably visit
Lower falls. Soldiers have also broken a
trail there. Lower falls is five miles up
the river. There are a great number Of
elk and deer in that section also. The
= weather was fairly good when the presi-
dent left Fort Yellowstone Thursday NOR
ming, but it turned bad Friday. 1t has
been showing heavily since, and has
turned cold. Those who have been in the
park many seasons say that the weather
is worse now than ever before, so far as
white men know, at this time of year. 1t
was showing heavily Saturday. The wind
is not blowing, however, and it is thought
that the SHOWS will not drift to any great
extent. The president and his guard will
have no special difficulty in reaching Fort
Yellowstone, as the distance is not great
and good trail has been broken. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Major Pitcher will re-
turn to Fort Yellowstone tomorrow If the
chief executive carries out his present
< plans. He will leave Immediately on a
- t1,oy, c,x II 10 ipfn fior, To
thru to the lake. The new SHOWS will
make the trip more difficult than was an
ticipated, but 1t is understood that the
president proposes to make it If he has tc
travel on skis most Of the way. No one
will accompany the president on this trip
thru the park except the soldiers. Guard
will be changed and another officer will
be substituted for one now in command
Major Pitcher will not leave the president
while he Is in Wonderland. 81
