TAKING A DAY OFF.
Professional Men and Their Idea Of
Having a Good Time.

]
A party of friends, men whose
professions leave them little time
for rest or amusement went into
the country for a "a hours hoii-
day, rcsolutely determined TO free
their minds for that lcngthof time
from all ideas connected with
their work, says the English Mag
azine
There's to be no talking shop,
said the lawyer, con penalty of OK
clusion from the company" and
everyone agreed with him.
The morning was spent in a
long tramp along country roads;
then came a hearty dinner at noon,
followed by another tramp, which
was brought to a close by Il heavy
shower The company returned to
the inn where they were to pass
the night, and found a bright fire
awaiting them.
"Now let's have an evening Of
quiet enjoyment with these
books" said the doctor. 81 see
there are a number here Of which
I've heard and that ! haven't read.
What do YOU say?"
Again everyone agreed, and
presently there was no sound in
the room save the cracking of the
fire, the soft rustic of the pages Of
! book or magazine, and an occa.
sional contented sigh.

DRESS AND MANNER1sMs.
Changes in Styles Have Much to Do
with Ones Bearing.

with Ones Bearing.
"To those of us who are
/ interested in the study of
the ordinary phases of hui
manity," said the obseryant
old gentleman, according to the
st. Louis Republic, "there is per
haps nothing more astonishing
than to note the change that
dress brings about in ones man.
ners. To be little more definite,
let me put it in this ay The
change of style in clothes affects
the mannerisms Of the wearer."
"Why, / hadn't noticed it," ex-
claimed the hOpelessly matterOf-
fact person, trying to appear in
terested as well as surprised by
the old gentleman's statement
We'll, / suppose you are not Of
sufficiently advanced age to have
observed the fact of which l
speak," added the elderly one.
"But in my case it has made quite
an impression.
"NOw, for instance, we will take
| the case of a man first. The state
| ly, graceful deliberatiOn of old
went with the decadence of snuff
taking. That, you see, required
time and a certain knack of the
thumb and other fingers. The
ease with which a cigar or cigar
ette can be lighted involves no
grace or charm of manner. Men
in these times are brusque of
manner; may not the wearing of
thick and clumsy shoes have some
thing to do with it?
But it is in the case of women
that we see the idea fully eXempli-
| fed. The mannerisms Of the fair
er sex vary with the changes of
| fashion. Let me indicate a few
such changes:
Take the days when the dear
things wore hoops. These gave
them a mincing tread. When
they sat down it was with much
skill and grace that they
smoothed out their skirts, be-
cause, you see, a carelessly man
aged hoopskirt had an irritating
way Of flying up unless you were
lvlgilant. But when the old pull
backs came in there was Il great
difference in the walk of your
lady fair. She could not walk very
freely; she merely glided.
"When the hustle put in an ap
pearance another mannerisn
came in with it, and every woman
huffed up her back draperies wheI
she arose from a sitting position
"Of course, you remember how
! a few years ago, when the girls
had a way of pulling their wells
very tightly across their faces
everyone of them became GIN
beriawed,' from pulling dowl
their wells with their outstretche(
chins.
at was not so very long age
that a lady would indulge in the
little mannerism of picking out
her huge sleeves.
Just now, take girl that is in
the least embarrassed, or let her
be a little more than usually con
scious of her personal appear
ance, and what does she do?
IWhy, her hands automatically
fly to her waistline. She gives an
anxious touch to the back Of her
belt, and then with both hands
che pushes it down in front.
''There's no doubt that styles
bring mannerisms."

RESTING ON NOTHING.
Faculty of Posing Possessed by Some
of the Largest Birds.

Whlle L never have seen it explain
ed IN print" said one of the ornitholog-
lcal sharpS of the Bronx Zoo ut is
wonder to me persons should express
amaZement at the ability of certain
Dlrds to hang poised in the air with
out wing motion.
1T is favorite trick Of the great
condor. Away in the air, far beyond
the mountain tops, these birds hang
polsed as motionless as If perched on
solid rock. True, their wings are out
stretched, but even through glasses not
the slightest motion is perceptible.
They remain in this position for many
minutes, sometimes an hour, making
careful scrutiny of everything below
them in their search for prey. Then,
with a slight fitting of the wings, they
flap slowly away, or, having found what
they were seeking, dart like a bullet
toward it. The eagle, hawk and other
species have this same faculty of pois-
ing, apparently on nothing.
These birds move about until thew
meet an uprising current of air. 1t
may come from Immediately beneath
them, from wind DETECTED by striking
a cliff along the sea, or may come from

most Of the time in search for prey.
they have learned to utilize these up
rushing air currents for their own pur
poses. Coming to one of these, and
heading to the wind, they fix their
piniors at an angle which will permit
them to rest there and scrutinize some
thing that has taken their attention,
perhaps, on the plain below. Thus,
while they seem poised on nothing.
the air current rushing upward buoys
them.
You see the same thing done in
nidocean when ships are followed by
fiocks Of gulls, in some rare cases clear
across the ocean. When the ships start
out the gulls fly here and there, some
times away on high and again skim
ming the surface of the water in search
OF food. AS the hours and days pass
they tire, and then you will see them
poise for rest on the air current ris-
ing from the stern of the ship. The
onrusl; Of an ocean greyhound creates
q swiftly rising air current in it's wake.
This curls over like a wave and rush

without effort, and at the same speed
at which the ship is traveling."-NeW

STOCK RAIsERs AT WAR.
Sheepmen and cattIemen Quarrel Over
Division of RANGES.

oheepneh and Sattiemen Quarrel over
Division of Ranges.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 20.-The
sheep men of the Sweetwater country
have declared war upon the cattlemen
and clash is imminent unless steps
are at once taken to get the warning
factions together on the proposition of
satisfactory division of ranges Of
that section. Sheriff Charles Slough,
OF Lander, has gone to the range
country to investigate and if he finds
the condition of affairs as alarming as
has been reported he will Immediately
make a formal request of the gov
ernor Tor at least one company of mi
llt1a to patrol the ranges.
Recently the sheepmen of the Sweet
water country have received copies of
circular letter notifying them that
the sheep would not be permitted to
craze within certain boundaries. The
Fremont County Wool Growers asso-
cation mas adopted resolutions holding
accountable to any member of the as
soclatlon whose personal and property
rights shall be violated, the person and
property of the "dead-liners" and
pledging full financial and moral sup
port to the defense of the lives and
property of members of the associa-
tlon. The resolutions characterize the
drawing of headlines" as a violation
of federal and state statutes and call
upon both federal and state officials,
other wool growers associations and
all persons interested for assistance.

FLOUR MILLS TO
RESUME TO-DAY
No Change Yet Made in the
Transportation
Rates.

The milling Of -four has been resum-
ed again by the Minneapolis mills.
Last night all the big companies an
nounced that they would have some
of their mills In operation again to-
day.
There is no change in the attitude
of the railroads or the transportation
rates as far as can be learned, although
it is stated that concessions are ex-
pected as soon as the necessary ar
engagements can be effected. In the
meantime only as many of the mills
will be operated as will be sufficient
to enable the lillers to fulfill their
contracts.
Very little information could be OBJ
tanned from the millers themselves. 1t
is learned, however, that the smaller
concerns showed a disposition to go to
work first, the reason being that they
are less affected by and differential
there may be in the rates of wheat and
flour transportation to the East, and
they felt that the strength that had ac-
crued to the flour market and conse-
quent stiffening of prices that has re-
suited from the shut down is sufficient
inducement for them to resume. This

erations again this morning.
All the milleTs agreed that they were
anxious to get their wheels going, but
it was not until late yesterday after
noon that any decided information
could be obtained of their immediate
intentions.

Inquiry at the office of the Pillsbury
company elected a message that some

H! P. Gallaher, vice president of the
Consolidated Milling company, also
said that some of their mills would be
running today, but there was no change
inthe railroad situation.
