in ties, because of the impossibility of
buckling the made-up article und en-
conditions. An ingenious fiend has
changed all that: BY an arrangement
truly diabolical in its simplicity the
band is dispensed with altogether, the
tie being clipped on to the stud in
front.
And you may have a bow, which,
though actually hand-tied, is yet a
shameful fraud. This, too, is used for
the double collar, which, indeed, is
necessary to conceal the artifice.
The ends of the scarf are fastened
on to a tab, tied once for all into a bow
at the shop, and there you are. 1t is
fixed to the stud just as the Mayfair
tie is fixed, and if you think it wants
freshening up, you can go and have it
tied anew, as a sort of companion pro-
cess to having your hat ironed.
Or you may have handmade bow
made with other hands than yours, to
buckle at the back by means of false
ends so artfully affixed as to deceive
the elect. You may go on buckling it

MAKING INDIAN RUBBER IN THE ACRE TERRITORY

rubber makers! Steps were immedi-
ately taken to have the matter looked
into" The rubber makers began to
feel the force of authority. Bolivia
began to levy taxes and customs duties.
Then the seed Of independence began to
sprOut. Soon the rubber makers de-
veloped enough presumption to call
themselves a republic.
The Republic of Acre! 1t was form
erly established in December, 1899;
but unfortunately for it's future it was
weak in arms to back up it's preten-
sions. 1t was really something more
than pirate republic and the industry
of it's citizens would have made it an
enduring state had it not been modest
ed. As it was Bolivia, Brazil and Peru
decided to hurry troops into the re-
giOn. The rubber makers made a
formal appeal to Argentine for recog-
milton as republic. Failing to re-
ceive this, they settled down to amass
as much wealth as possible be-
fore troops arrived, which, even
after they had started would
be several months, for troops
from Bolivia and Peru had to embark
at the Pacific coast, sail north, cross
the isthmus of Panama, reembark ant
sail to the mouth of the Amazon, thence
up that mighty river and along it's tri-
butaries to the Acre country.
When the allied troops, after many
months spent in marching through al
most impossible forests, in canoeing,
climbing and wading streams, finally
reached the headquarters of the re-
public, the Mexican ballplayer and most
of his companions had fled, the ball
player, it was reported, having amassed
a fortune of 5000, 900, which was secure
ly placed in safe banks. Yet there
were some citizens who remained and
fought the invaders. Of these some
were killed. some captured, some sent
to prison, and still others escaped only
to return later to the rubber business
under the eye of the Bolivian govern
ment, which had established customs
house at Puerto Alfonso on the Acre
river-and which government was al
lowed to collect customs pending a
final settlement between the three re-
publics.
In 1901 general peace was arranged,
bat the old dispute broke out again
when the Bolivian government grant
ed rights in the territory to an Ameri-
can syndicate. The present fight is
partly due to the jealousy of Brazil
and Peru who want to do the money
making if there is any done in prefer
ence to permitting Americans to mo-
nopolize the trade. Since the best way
TO market the rubber at present is
over Brazilian waterways to the At
Iantic coast, Brazil is perhaps in the
best position to absorb the industry.
On the other hand it is asserted that
Peru is about to build railroad over
the mountains from the west so that
the valuable product of the country
may be marketed on the Pacific coast.

WISCONSIN STATE NEWS,


The assembly chamber in Madison
was crowded to its full capacity for
the Inauguration of Gov. Il. M. La
Toilette and the other state officers.
The ceremonies were simple, consist
ing only of the escort of the officers
elect from the executive office to the
assembly chamber by their predeces-
sors, former Gov. Peck acting as es-
cort for Gov. La Toilette, their intro
duction to Chief Justice Cassoday, and
the administering of the oath to each
in turn by the chief justice. The cere-
monies occupied but 15 minutes, and
at the close each state officer was es-
corted to his department and in
stalled. The new incumbents are:
Governor, Robert NJ. La Toilette, re-
elected; lieutenant governor, James o
Davidson. Soldiers Grove; secretary
of state, W. L. Houser, Mondovi; state
treasurer, John j. Kempff, Milwau-
kee; attorney general, L. NJ. Sturde-

a mere machine-made, mathema tically
accurate arrangement of silk or stuff.
Take the ordinary sailors knot. for

the one important accomplishment

Yet it is easy to tie it well. DO not,
as so many do, pull it tight, but let its
curves be loose; and do not pull it into

part be nearly as broad as the upper.
II is the secret of success. Out Of
some ties two or more may be made.
No man need be without at least two

he will but go in for a York Except
in the final stage it is identical with

I collected great quantities of palm nuts.
for these when burned emit contin-
uous dense smoke that makes the best
rubber; or, failing to find enough palm
nuts, they clipped twigs and bark with
their knives and collected great piles
of it. Then they fashioned small cups
of clay in which to catch the sap and
made larger vessels of the same sub
stance in which to collect the yield
and still larger vessels to hold the
milk-like fluid at camp. Then they
visited the rubber trees and with care
full strokes clipped the bark in seven
or eight places around the tree and
under each wound cemented a cup with
a bit O. clay. When the cups We're
ready to ampty they brought the sap
together in the large vessels at their
camp. The twigs or palm nuts were
ignited, sending up a thick black
smoke. Broad paddles were then dip
ped into the milk and held in the smoke
until the sap coagulated, forming the
first thin coating of rubber. Then an
other layer was poured over and the
process repeated until large brick of
crude rubber was ready to be taken
from the paddle.
1t soon became necessary TO market
the product. When enough rubber had
been made for a trial voyage, RATS
were constructed and sent down the

with vessels on the Amazon to ma rket

title Two American girls who illus
trate the two methods have recently
arrived in the country, fresh from
the scenes of their triumphs. They
are Julie Opp-whether the fiancee or
already the wife Of Faversham, the
matinee idol, is not decided as lWrlte-
and Countess Won Moltke.
Let the lady of quality lead The
countess is a second member OF the
remarkable Garner family, to which L
referred a few weeks ago. One of her
sisters married the French Marquis de
Breteuil; another became Lady Gordon
Cumming. wife of the famous hero OF
the Tranby Croft baccarat scandal, IN
which the present king of Britain was
unfortunately concerned. William L..
Garner. father of these girls, was
drowned 20 years ago, and their BRING
ing I'D was entrusted to an aunt who
lived in Paris. Little Edith in time
married the Count Leon Moltke
Heuitfeld, a secretary in the Danish
legation in Paris, fine fellow and a
grand nephew of the great German,
Gen. Moltke.
Miss Opp is New York girl, daugh-
ter of Johnny Opp" who kept sa-
loon on the Bowery. The fact is not
to her discredit, and it is much to the
credit of her mother and her grand
father, Philip Opp, in whose honorable
house she was tenderly reared. Her
career on the London stage is a ro-
nance of beauty. By right of it and q
regal manner we'll fitted to aristo-
cratic parts she won at once. Hell
marriage with Robert Lorraine was
unfortunate and was followed by a
divorce. Faversham was also recent
" divorced from the wife whom he
married more than ten years ago.
You have 20 allow something, you see,
to the 'artistic temperament" in this
romance.
Faversham is the matinee idol of all
the schoolgirls in New York. Miss
Opp, but for the fact that she has
appeared little in this country, would
succeed to the place once held by
Mary Anderson, as the distant ideal of
schoolboys. What handsome pair
they are--siX feet and five feet ten
inches in height respectively; graceful,
polished in manner, fine of feature! |
hope they'll act together; if they do,
it won't be possible to get in at the
afternoon performances without buy

KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1t May BE Drawn
That His Majesty Is About
FiYe-Foot-Six.

Why people should make bets on
matter about which they have no
information, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertaining
whether l know any more than they
do, is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says a writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example &C
this singular practice:
Sir: l should esteem it a favor #
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columns or privately, what the
height of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to.
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
ing five feet five and one-half inches.
and the other five feet four inches,
and [ shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, etc"

previous experience would have

and unbuckling it for all time, or
rather untilit wears out-the bow need
never be disturbed-meanwhile the
wearer wrongfully obtains credit in
the eyes of his fellow men for skill he
never possessed.
There is, however, one aid to excel
lence that may be regarded more lem
iently. This is a bow tied by the wear
er, which, instead of being cut straight,
is made wide at the ends and in the
middle. The effect when tied is excel
lent, for by reason of its straight es1ds
and its artificial shape it helps you to
attain the highest goal in bow-a
narrow center and wide ends.
My last word to you, reader, is this:
Always tie your own tie; tie it badly
or clumsily, if you must, we'll if you
can; but tie it.

so much pressed as a possibility. As
it is, you may as well make your mind
to see in print the name of Alton b.
Parker, of New York, with great fire.
quency for the next year. And it's
pretty good name.
Politicians are short-sighted people.
Platt "shelved" Roosevelt by nomi-
mating him for the vice presidency.
Now he is president. Hill ''shelved"
Parker as a gubernatorial candidate
by pressing CoIer. He really thought
Coler would win; Parker he knew
could win, and so did everybody else,
but that would have made him presi-
Dental favorite. Coler lost; Hill is
like the jockey who tries TO make a
''close finish" and sees the other
horse win by nose. No doubt within
a very few months he will see that
there is no possibility of his getting
the nomination for himself. That un-
derstood, he has no objection to Par
ker. The two are friends. Judge
Parker cherishes no resentment to-
ward Mr.. Hill for keeping him out
of the governorship. He didn't want
it. He will make no move toward the
presidency, but that is an office that
no man refuses.
What kind of a man is this quiet
judge of whom politicians are talking
from Galveston to Boston? He is a
strong personality, only 81 years old,
young for a chief judge of the court
of appeals; tall and powerfully built,
practical farmer; man who takes a
high view of judicial dignity and will
have nothing to do with politics while
he is on the bench, though before his
elevation to it he was chairman of the
democratic state executive committee.
That was in 1885. In that year he
steered Hill to victory as governor.
Hill appointed Parker to the bench-in
a way political choice, but well justi-
fed. Later Parker was elected for the
full term, no opponent being named
against him.
The secret of Parker's strength is his
power over men and his strong COM
mon sense. He has something like Lin
coins directness. He is as judge not
sIavish to presidents. He has in one
or two cases swerved the court of APP
peals to make precedents that will be
heard of if he is nominated for presi-
dent.

with a pin. The reward in effect will
be altogether out of proportion to the
infnitesimal amount of ingenuity re-
quired.
In the English Hopetoun you will
find tie still more worthy of your in
genuity. Not quite so high in beauty's
scale is the Ascot. Once learn its mere
technique and the thing is done.
1t is a work of taIent-not Of genius.
There is perfect finish in it; in the
Hopetoun there is none. \ man can
improve upon it all his life. Still, the
technique is very considerable, and,
up to the last stage, identical with the
Hopetoun. The main difference lies
in the original cut of the scarf. The
Ascot must have square ends of uni
form width; the Hopetoun should be
voluminous at the eXtremities, tapering
off gradually towards the neck.
