Picture sonnets Are Here.

There are some sweet. plump, rosy
faced women, moving down a sunny
slope just the other side of middle life,
who will rejoice exceedingly over the
new fashion for o!d-fashioned bonnets.
They have been yearning for the re-
vival of this pretty headgear, and may
now find it in various styles in exhib-
its of Paris millinery.
But this years bonnets are not Who'll

theaters, for concert. for visiting. for
all times when a huge picture hat
would seem out of place.

Tonq Haks of Korea.

The Tong Haks present the only
virile patriotic faction in Korea. But
it is faction now threatening, now
dispersed, now on the war path. now
dissolved among the body of the peo
pie, now robbing and looting. now
fighting, and now busted with theologi
cal arguments in manner so impos
sible to western thought, motives and
methods that it is almost impossible
to characterize it.
1t is the more difficult because the
Tong Hak belief partakes of the ma
ture of a religion and of piracy. o.
metaphysical discussion and of massa
ere, and also of patriotic resistance
to official extortion.

to substitute rations and a small cloth

rapid exhaustion of the funds voted by
Parliament for the relief of distress
The funds at the disposal of the relief

Premonition of the overskirt.

There are already evidences of the
fulillment of predictions regarding the
return of the overskirt Up to the
present 1t is the apron front which
is chiefly seen. This has appeared in
cloth skirts as an effect produced by
the braiding or strapping which heads
the deep bottom flounce. 1t has also
been seen in whimsical combination
where an apron front and a little
Louis coat, both of fancy tafreta, have
been worn over mousseline or lace

DON'T OWN ANY DOGS.

In view of the fact that DR.. J. w.
Golden threatens to sue Tillson
Tibbetts for the value of the bird
dog shot by Tibbetts while the dog
was in the latter's deer corral the
question of ownership will natur-
ally enter into the case.
It has always been supposed that
the horse doctor owned a large
number of dogs kept in his kennels
in the central portion of the city,
and permitted to chase up and down
the different streets of the city at
various intervals during the day.
The dogs that were in the kennels
prior to the shooting were there al
the same time that the assessor
made his appearance last May.
A glance at the assessors books,
however, fails to disclose any own
ership of dogs on part of the horse
doctor. To the assessor he made
return of personal property con-
sisting of one stallion valued at
only $l0O, one watch valued at SIS,
one buggy valued at 1910, and house
hold furniture valued at $25. Item
81, which takes in dogs OF various
kinds and ages, contains nothing to
show that there is dog around the
premises. Mr.. Tibbett's will only
have to turn to the assessor 5 books
to disprove ownership, in case the
action is commenced against him.

CAN FIRE" GERHARD
AS a Member Of the Republican County
Committee He Has Violated
Postal Regulations.
President Roosevelt Determined that
Postal Employees Shall OBJ
serve Office Rules.

Alfred J. Gerhard, postmaster at
Lamberton, is liable to removal as
postmaster. His resignation as
member Of the Republican county
committee will have to be forth-com7-
ing or an order of the department
prohibiting postal employees from
soliciting campaign contributions
will be strictly enforced.
Mr.. Gerhard, as member OF the
county committee, assists in making
the assessment on all of the candl-
dates on the Republican county
ticket. This year that assessment
was one per cent, a majority OF the
candidates refusing to stand for
larger amount.
A little oyer two years ago Inc
postoffice department adopted
rule, at the instigation of President
Roosevelt. that all postmasters,
employees, etc., would have to re-
main inoffensive in political matters,
and particularly not lend their aid
to the soliciting of funds. Mr.. Geb-
hard s position places himself IN
violation Of this order and last Wed
nesday Postmaster General Wynne.
sent out notices to the postmasters
of Minnesota, calling their attention
to the order of the president, and
requesting them to report any vic
lations of the same. 1t appears
that the resurrection of the order
was due to information having been
received that certain postal en-
ployees in the twin cities were a
little too active in political work
during the present campaign.
The punishment for infringement
of the order of President Roosevelt
is dismissal and prosecution under
section IL of the civil service act.
Mr.. Gerhard is therefore liable to
both dismissal and the punishment
prescribed by the civil service act.
Chairman Dolliff's attention was
called to the matter last Thursday
noon. At first he thought it did
not effect Mr.. Gerhard in the, least.
After it was shown to him that the
Republican county committee as
sesses and receives money from the
various candidates, and from the
state committee, and that Mr.. Geb-
hard was a part of the committee,
he admitted that there was no doubt
but what Mr.. Gerhard ought to get
off the committee for his own safety
and to prevent any further agitation
of the matter before the department
at Washington. He proposed call
ing Mr.. Gerhard s attention to the
violation at the meeting OF rhe com
mittee called to meet Mr.. Dunn and
Mr.. Stevens Monday.
Gerhard was appointed postmas-
ter at Lamberton to succeed Geo. B. |
Tretbar, deceased, after the former S
friends put up a strong fight for
him with Mr.. Volstead, who rather
favored the old soldier candidate,
A. M. Clark. The latter may take
up the fight again.

"When epidemics of il grippe first
