Take Clalms Near Hardman.

Twenty five stone and timber claims
we're taken tributary to Hardman in the
last week, and the excitement which has
existed for several weeks has not abated
though most of the good timber in the
western spur of the Blue mountains is
taken up. The finest belt south Of
there is reported almost exhausted, but
claims with good quantities of market
able timber are still found by the re-
sourceful locator. Many Washington
people are going in.

WARM WEATHER WEAR.
Light MnteriaIs for Summer Gowns
That Are Now hiuch in
NJ Demand.

The approach of summer weather
has increased the demand for thin
materials and ready-to-wear wash
gowns. 'Old-fashioned French per-
Gale, one of the most attractive and
serviceable cottons ever worn, IS
among the materials used for shirt
waists and shirt waist suits. It has
a satin smooth surface which is not
affected by repeated washings. The
patterns, too, are good, as rule.
Some of them are very old, notably
the diamond pattern in gray and
pink, reports the New York Post.
The gowns of former days are also
recalled this season in the sprawling
flower designs seen in muslins and
organdies: Only tall, slender, women
can wear these patterns gracefully.
Stout figures are exaggerated and
short ones made to look dumpy in
them. But for those who can stand
them, the huge roses, poppies, trail
ing wreaths and baskets spilling bios
SONS are very effective.
Many of the popular voile gowns
are trimmed with painted lace. Cream
or white lace with part of the de-
gown, or with black to give accent to
a light material, is used. The paint
ing is a simple matter, as common
watercolors may be employed for the
purpose. Pin the lace over piece of
clean white blotting paper and apply
the paint with camePs hair brush.
It should be done before the lace is
put on the gown.
A pongee petticoat has deep
founce of embroidered pongee in an
openwcrk pattern, done in green silk.
Under the founce is another Of green
tatfeta, and there is a quilting OF the
taffeta heading the outside founce.
The effort to Introduce fuchsias for
hat trimmings has not been very
successful. The flower is too obvious,
it's colors are too bold to suit re-
fined tastes. Once in awhile a hat is
trimmed with them to good advan-
tage. An ivory white importation
has band of violet velvet around the
crown and wreath of two-toned
purple and pink fuchsias, rather
primly arranged below the velvet. and
dropping at the back. Another hat is
of red maline in full fo,ds over the
frame. It's only decorations are bands
of red velvet ribbon which are
brought over the high crown of the
hat, and wreath Of red and purple
fuchsias under the brim. Here the
flowers are really effective. as they
fall pendantwise on the hair of the
wearer.

The clever Cabby.

It was busy thoroughfare in Ed
inburgh and as the old lady was ex-
hausted with the stir and hustle she
hailed passing cab. The driver was
at her side in moment. Opening the
door he stood back to allow the lady
to enter.
She made one or two weak efforts,
but was unable to mount the step,
and at last, looking imploringly at the
driver. she said:
"Help me in, my good man, for I
am very old"
The driver gently assisted his fare
into the cab and then gallantly said:
"Well, mem, nae matter what age
you are, you dinna look it"
His fare was increased by shilling
when the old lady reached her desti-
nation. And he deserved It.

ULCERS OF THE LEG.
Common Ailment Among Persons
Who May Be Otherwise In
Good Health.

A surprisingly large number of per-
another along the course of the shin
bone or ankles-sores which persist
emily refuse to heal.
These persons are often, although
not always, in very fair state of
health otherwise, and the fact that a
scratch or the bite of mosquito may
have had such sequel not infrequently
affects them with surprise, if not with
alarm, says Youths Companion.
It is true that diseases of the blood,
the liver and other organs are some
times, responsible. Tor ulcers on the ex-
tremities, but when that is the case
other evidence of the existence of such
diseases is seldom wanting.
Ulcers are most common on the leg
because the return circulation is here
most impeded by gravity. The return
flow of blood from the feet is accom-.
plished by the force of the blood driven
by the heart, in this case, downward.
Muscular activity aids the return flow
of blood, and hence should be recon-.
mended to sufferers from this disorder.
An active circula tion is essentialto the
rapid healing of any wound or sore,
since it is only by this means that the
than they accumulate, and rebuilding
material supplied to repair the diseased
tissues.
In stout or elderly persons, by whom
active exercise is not so easily accom-.
plished, the circulation may be promo
ted by the use of an elastic stocking or
bhndage. Either of these devices in.
creases the local activity of the circula-
ton by the support which it affords
the return vessels, which are thus COM
pressed to smaller caliber. But the
elastic stocking or the bandage should
be only tight enough to effect the pur-
pose for which it is designed, and not
so tight as to interfere with the out
bound circulation. Such an effect
would be evinced by a blush or dusky
tint of the skin of the foot.
Bandaging should be begun below
the ankle so as to eDcircle both this and
the instep. An elastic stocking should
likewise be made long enough to in
c1ude these.
Ulcers of the leg are properly treated
by applications of healing ointments or
other medicaments. such as would be
suitable were they situated elsewhere;
but, from the nature of their location,
support to the blood-vessels from the
toe to the knee is also demanded, and
stimulation of the circulation of the
part is Invariably required.

Summer Salad.

three heads lettuce, arrange in border
around shallow platter; pick over one
bunch water cress, slightly chop it,
and place in center of platter, bestrew
with radishes sliced thin as possible
without peeling, one onion sliced and
rings separated, add one cucumber; the
last three ingredients should be added
in alternate layers. Chill ingredients
before preparing salad. Pour over all
French dressing just before serving.

VESTS TRIBUTE.

One of the most eloquent trib-
utes ever paid to a dog was de-
livercd by Senator Vest IF Mis-
souri, some years ago, He was
attending court in a country
town, and while waiting for the
trial of a case in which he was
interested was urged by the at
torneys in a dog case to help
them out. Voluminous evidence
was introduced to show that the
defendant had shot in malice,
while other evidence went 20
show that the dog had attacked
the defendant. Vest took no part
in the trial and was not disposed
to speak. The attorneys, how
ever, urged him to speak. Being
thus urged he arose, scanned the
face of each jury nan for NOM
ent, and said:
Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend a man has may turn
