Wednesday morning a young man
named Paul Eckerson was badly in
jured in the Daly-West mine by
falling seventy-ffve feet down an in
cline and striking his head Physicians
We're summoned and the injured man
was taken on top, where his injuries
We're dressed. Eckerson in his fall sus-
tanned broken nose, a fractured skull
and badly cut head and face. Doctors
here say that Eckerson may recover,
but his chances are very slim.
Reports from the Holy Cross hospital
in Salt Lake on Thursday morning say
that the young man has regained con-
seriousness and the prospects for his
recovery are bright.

Wants of Man.

minneapolis J0urnaI)
MAN wants but little here below
He doesn't want the wind to blow;
He doesn't like the weather hot
But when it's cold he likes it not;
He wants an angel for wife
Domestic scenes devoid of strife;
In fact, so great are his desires
So very high his mind aspires-
That even poets ought to know
Mans wants are countless here below.

Embroidered tahfeta and crepe de chine
gowns are among the new styles for the
spring and summer. and here again the
fiounced skirts are used. The embroidered
tafeta gowns are so much on the plan of
the old fashioned muslin gowns as to look
as though taken from an old fashioned
picture book. The hounces are embroidered
and there is an embroidered bertha TO match.
Although these embroidered taffetas are said
to be fashionable for evening wear-that is
for the simpler styles of dinner gowns-the
black ones somehow seem much more suit
ed to street gowns. but the light shades,
and especially the white ones, are most
charming for the evening
On the same lines are the embroidered
crepe de Chine and muslin gowns for sum-
mer dinner gowns. and this year It is to be
necessity to have any number of dinner
gowns made Of thin Materials but for the
moment the mauYe fabrics must needs be
worn. Embroidered crepe de Chine gowns
are very smart, and often the pattern Is out
lined with silver spangles and pearls: this,
however II the embroidery is OF modern de-
sign, the old fashioned Canton crepe shawls
that are now made into gowns being quite
too elaborate with the old fashioned heavy
embroidery to require any further elabora-
tion.

0ueen Sells Butter.

The kings of Bavaria have long derived
a profit from certain breweries in Munich,
and now Queen wllhelmina Of Holland is
making money by selling milk and butter.
Her first step In this direction was when
she Induced her husband, Prince Henry, to
buy several cows. which were placed on the
rich land adjoining the castle of Loo. The
Cows prospered exceedingly and the Queen
was so well pleased with the success of the
experiment that she instructed the mana
ger of her estates to visit several stock farms
and to purchase 30 of the best cows that could
be obtained In Holland. This has been done
and milk and butter of excellent quality are
now being sold from the royal farm.

One Of the most important features OF
the fashionable wardrobe Is the dinner
gown. and as the fashion every year grows
apace of dressing for dinner, more and more
elaborate become the dinner gowns. At one
time, and not so long ago the dinner and
ball gown were one and the same, both
classed under the head Of evening gowns,
but now there is a marked distinction. al
though. be It understood, the dinner gown
Is often quite as elaborate as the ball gown.
and the ball gown is quite suitable to wear
nt any of tho superb dinners given to 90 or
100 guests. After all, there is nothing re-
markable In the fact that so much trouble
and EXPENSE are taken with the dinner
gowns. for there IS no time nor place where
beautiful gown shows to such advantage
as at a dinner for in ballroom there are
so many gowns that one must needs detract
from the beauty Of the other.
Long skirts are, of course. always correct
with the smart dinner gown and are eiah-
orateiy trimmed as a rule, although the
lowered brocades that are now so fash
Ionable do not require trimming as the pat
tern In itself covers so much OF the plain
background, but the plain yelyets and satins
and the tulle and net gowns are most elab-
orately embroidered and fashioned 50 thar
often there is more trimming than material
to be seen.
Black tulle, net and lace forms are made
up over eolored and white hues, and are I'm
mensely effective with the superb embrold-
cry that is used. Around the foot Of the
skirt, often reaching more than halfway to
the belt, Is a broad band OF embroidered
lace with chenille jet or silver and steel EN-
broidery; the front panel Is often covered
with the embroidery; which is again re-
heated on the waist and sleeves, and, of
course. the work Is shown to the best ad-
vantage by reason Of the light lining. On the
plain materials the same fashion is carried
out. and one of the handsomest gowns OF
last season, again in favor, is plain cream
white satin, with the lower part Of the skirt
entirely Of lace, on which are sewed. or

model in black satin with gold spangies is

TO speak, built on precisely the same ines,

spaneied gowns and spangled trimmings
can certainly not be called new. but at the
same time are most fashionable, although
the bargain sales of spangled robe gowns
mark the coming change Of style. There

white lace. THESE strips meet at the waist
and then gradually separate until at the hem

finite craft contrived to do her bidding 50
that in most cases the article was knocked
down to her, after which she made nice
little profit by selling 1t to another member
of the club. She was accused with being In
league with the auctioneer, who would rec
ognlze her nod and ignore that of her neigh
boris, though the bid was still open as to the
clubs limit. There was a wordy war, and
the members went to the auction separately.
This made matters more lively for they
would keep on bidding Just for spite, until
an exhausted purse limit warned them to
desist.
