"Low voluptnary Trying to Sting ysdsd Senses to Fresh Thrill by Turning from Private to
 Public Corruption."
Advertiser Hureass, Colorado Bulidinks


 Waahlngton, March There was much reading among pemo- cratic congressmen to-day Of feaxfuliF voathfng editorial in The New York Evening Post of yesterday. entitled ssTha UnthinkabIe Hearst"
 After saying that to consider w. R. Hearst as a candidate fs to degrade pub- lic life. The Poet proceeds to say that 1t Ia the duty even of Republicans to see that the position is not debauched
 A peculiar obligation" adds The Post. fin this connection seems to rest upon the Democratic Party of the South. They play great role In the Democratic Par ty of to-day. since they furnish the largest number of electoral votes for any presidential candidate. Now. Southern Democrats surrendered too easily to Bry- an in 1sss. they followed him again. though most unwillingly. in 1900 This undoubtedly helped encourage the notion that the South would be for any Demo- crat, no matter who.
 Upon this idea, and upon the pre- sumption that many Southern politicians are poor men. and will take a retainer. the Hearst campaign Is craftily play ing.
 Blandishments and Bribes.
 Hence 1t is time, we think, for Iaad- ing Democrats in the South to join handm with their fellows In New York and New Jersey and repei tho Hearst bIandish- ments and the Hearst bribes with an in- dignant Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thingT
 Hearst getting anything else than un- mercifully beaten in New York, whore he is known; is inconceivabIe. His de- feat in New JerBey would be more overwhelming than Hryana.

 The article concludes thus: Tt is not a question of policies. but of character. An agitator. We can endure. and an honest radical. we can respect, a fanatic we can tolerate, but low yol- uptuary trying to sting his faded senses to fresh thrill by turning from private to public corruption is a new horror ta American politics. To set the heel of contempt upon it must be the impulse or all honest men"

FASHION NOTES.

Many women are still hunting for
novelties for shirt waists and fancy
blouses. Shirtwaist suits in the bet.
ter materials have been in vogue only
two or three years, and early in the
spring it was suggested that they
might not be So popular this season,
but they are quite the smartest
thing. The simpler style of shirt
waist suit is disappearing, and the
very elaborate take the lead.
Years ago a morning gown of silk
would have been regarded as extrav-
agant Now it is SO cheap that it is
within the reach of almost every
woman. Never before has taffeta had
such a sale, and probably it will still
hold first place among the silks next
fall.
Braided taffetas, embroidered pom
gees and embroidered linens are sup
planting plain materials for shirt
waist suits, except in the case OF
strictly tailored gowns.
Last season white linen was re.
garded the smartest, but this year
colored linens are becoming popular
and fashionable They do not soil so
easily, and if care is taken can be
worn throughout the season without
being cleansed Many of the linens
and muslins are made up just as
deliberately and extensively as some
Of the silks.
The gray wolfe and crepe de chine
gowns are becoming more and more
a favorite. These costumes are heav-
lily trimmed. dyed lace the exact
shade, though not new, being espec-
tally pretty. These gowns, too, are
fashionable in the walking length.
The evening gowns for summer
wear are daintier and prettier than
ever. Silks Of all kinds, Powered
taffetas, crepe de chimes. Powered
nets and gauzes, muiis and chiffons
are fashionable. Embroidered crepe
de chine is expensive, and chiffon is
perishable, especially at the seashore
The skirts this season are shorter
and fuller, and are trimmed and fes'
tooned with may ruchings, garlaads
of lace, and sometimes old fashioned
pinked ruchings.
The waists are simpler, and are
fashioned after the old style baby
waists, with berthas, fichus and capes
of lace as trimmings. Many of the
bodices and sashes are OF flowerea
taffeta ribbons.
Some of the waists are sleeveless
with just band over the shoulders,
while others have deep ruffies of lace
ending at the elbows.

SUIT FOR THE SURF.

The shirtwaist bathing suit and
the Russian coat suit are the popu-
lar costumes for the surf bath.
Taffeta, mohair and pongee are the
most popular fabrics.
For decorations pipings OF bright
silk, with collar, sash, bandana and
stockings to match, are very much
in evidence.
Shepherds plaid mohairs trimmed
in this fashion make up some of the
most charming and practical suits.
Red silk finished mohair makes up
a stunning surf costume for bru-
nette beauty.
Among other materials employed
are serge, duck and awning cloth.
For girls serge or flannel is liked.
Goats to don after. the bath are
somewhat more used than formerly.
Long sleeves in the bathing suit
are more in evidence than usuel, ow-
ing to the prevalence of short sleeves
for afternoon and evening -frocAs and
the consequent necessity for untan-
ned arms.
But there are short sleeved suits,
and with these gloves are worn if
the arms are to be kept from brown
ing.
Trimmings carry out the match"
fad seen elsewhere, and silk sashes
hung with fringe are worn.
A suit of blue and green mixed
mohair has deep yoke outlined with
blue silk piping. The co..ar and
girdle and the scarf lacing the front
of the blouse are also of blue silk.
The cap is of the tartan class, ming
ling blue, green and black with a
touch of red. The stockings are
blue.
White mohair as a bathing suit
material has a disadvantage in TAX
ing on transparency after it is wet.
A man-of-war regulation suit is the
newest style. 1t has anchors en-
broidered on sleeves and shield.

JAPANESE WIDOWS.

Widows in Japan-of whom there
will soon unfortunately be a greatly
increased number-cut their hair
short and comb it back plainly with.
out a parting. unless, indeed, they
are prepared to accept fresh offers, in
which case they give broad hint of
their inclinations by twisting their
hair round long shell hairpin plac,
ed horizontally across the back of the
head Manageable maidens distin
guish and, as it were, advertise them
selves by combing their locks high in
front and arranging them in the form
of butterfly-which is something to
be caught-or fan half open, and
adjoining these significant designs
with bright colored balls and gold or
silver cord. Speaking generally, the
dressing of the hair, which is chang
ed at intervals from childhood up
ward. is an indication of the age and
position of the supplemented and
fascinating female Jap.

TELLING HER coopBY.

Somehow, can't keep back the sigh
When I'm tellin' her good-by!
Try to pull myself together
Wish her joy an pleasant weather
Hope she'll Ian thar safe an SCUM.
But, good people, I'll be boun'
Eff the tears amt in my eye
When I'm tellin' her good-by!
Sence she's got to go, I'm glad
When it's over! an half mad
That I can't keep in control
That upheavin' of my soul!
Whistle-try to sing bit,
But thar amt no heart in it!
Sun an stars have left life's sky
When I'm tellin' her good-by!
That's the way with women! They
Steal yer heart, an slip away,
Like some bright an sunny beam
You've been seem in dream!
Jest the minute that you know
You air lovin' of 'em SO!
Hopes done left me-life's sigh
I've been tellin' her good-by!

PUMPKIN PUDDING.

The pumpkin should be thoroughly
cooked. 1t may be stewed in very
little water, and when soft, let it re-
main on the back of the stove I'M
covered until the moisture is nearly
all evaporated. It should be pared
and freed from seeds and spongy pulp
before stewing, and to ensure smooth
ness of texture sift it through
coarse strainer when cooked. Allow
one pint of pumpkin, one and one-half
cups of scalded milk. one heaped
tablespoon of butter, one-fourth cup
Of sugar and four eggs. Flavor with
a mixture of cinnamon and mace. or
with ginger and lemon. If you have
cream TO spare. use that and omit the
butter. Avoid having it too sweet;
there Is a natural sweetness in the
pumpkin which is developed in the
long cooking and should not be over.
powered by an excess of sugar. Bake
the mixture in a buttered pudding
dish about forty minutes. or until it
puffs and knife comes out clean or
free from milk.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Red cedar paint for the inside Of
closets and chests is offered as novel
preventative of moths.
Decorative furniture to match is
one thing the modern housewife
avoids. 1t is a theory long exploded
that carpets, curtains and wall papers
should follow any rule of discipline
beyond that of natural sympathy and
harmony.
The latest idea is to bind porch and
window awnings with white braid
when the stuff is striped pattern; that
is, white and color. This gives quite
a cool, summary appearance to the
awning, besides being more durable
than the colored braid usually seen,
as it does not fade or run as the col
order are apt to do.
Verdure stuffs of sprawly patterns
and brilliant colors are among the late
offerings for country house draperies
and upholstery
The swinging seat has quite rele
gated the hammock to second place
as a desirable summer porch fitment
A long bench, or settle. from wall to

attractive, addition to the end of thu

Story of Tribe Is Sad One in In.
dian Annals.

Story of Tribe Is a Sad One in In.
dian Annals.
While the early history of the Ton
kawa Indians is wrapped in mystery
legend exists that at an early pc
riod the earth was covered with Ton
kawas; that great food came ans
scattered the tribes, which were
never able to come together again
The home of the Tonkawa was the
Wichita mountain country, which nov
constitutes south central Oklahoma
At least, the Wichita mountain coun
try is the first authentic location to
which civilization has traced the Ton
kawa and to which the oldest living
members of the tribe date back theiI
knowledge of their ancestral habitat
The Tenkawa, CT Nez Perces, reserve
which is made up Of four townships
adjoining the Ponca reservation, and
where the tribes settled in 1880 under
the leadership of the renowned
Chief Joseph, was so thoroughly dis
tasteful to them that in the early
spring Of 1885 they went to their
northern home in Montana, later 10
eating at Spalding, Idaho. During
the great civil conflict the Tonkawas
remained neutral, their attitude
bringing upon them the hatred OF the
Comanohes, Caddoes, Wichitas, Del
awares, Shawnees and Kickapoos,
who combined in efforts to wipe out
the entire nation of Tonkawas.
When the Tonkawas were first
found by the European explorers and
the historians they were the most
powerful nation of Indians in the
Southwest of the main continent OF
America, a fact which tends to throw
some light on the legend they so re-
spect concerning the time when rno
earth was covered with Tonkawas
At this time the Tonkawas were the
only Indians with any start toward
advancement and civilization, and
theirs as a crude advancement-in
advance of civilization. They under
stood the art of weaving cloth, for
which they used a species of silk
weed bark fibre, and they kept his
toric and religious records by strands
of beads, which by their variety were
made to convey information to thu
seclusive set of professors who were
bound to reveal the truth and always
read aright-for if they should add to
or take any part away of the subject
of this bead history they would sui.

The most extreme law of the Ton.
kawas-and one that has puzzled stu
dents of human nature and historic
customs-was their law Of marriage
and divorce, any infringement OF
which was punishable by cutting on
the ears for the first offence, cutting
off the nose for the second and by
death for the third offence. A grown
man who did not do his share of work
in the little maize tracts was denied
the right to marry.

HEARD BY A WOMAN.

There are many ways to make life
more tolerable in very hot weather,
and suggestions for keeping cool are
always in order. First of all, in the
morning, after breakfast, take a
shower bath and you will feel better
for it the rest of the day. The thin
nest of underclothing should be worn,
the best material being white linen
mesh. Changes should be frequent
and strict cleanliness observed. All
articles which come in direct contact
with the skin should be changed as
often as they become soiled. A daily
change is often recommended. The
sense of cleanliness itself is cocling.
White thin cotton stockings are pre-
ferred to any other and the shoes
should be thin Soled and must be
comfortably large. The dress should
be of some thin material Ii pos
sible do not wear gloves or hat.
Everything that is worn should per-
NIT full and free circulation of the
blood and air, as well as prompt eyap-
grafton of the perspiration. Drink
little, or if one must drink, cooled
but not iced things.
Among the smartest of parasols to
be worn with the pongee gowns this
year are those of linen. They are of
the heavy butchers linen, and are to
be found in all colors, different styles
and qualities. They have handles Of
bogwood. light in color. and peculiar
ly marked. In some of the parSsols
the raised lines which wander over
the bogwood sticks are touched with
the color which predominateS in the
parasol.
THE EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, in the Worlds
Work." says that doubtless the en-
largement of woman's educational
and industrial opportunities has been
accompanied by some intellectual er-
rors and some practical evils. The
most serious of these errors is the
opinion that equality Of character in
wolves identity of function; that be-
cause woman is the equal of man.
therefore she is to do the same things
which he does. Those of us who have
been interested in claiming and
pressing on woman this larger life,
feminine and masculine spheres of
the best service to society within its
appropriate sphere. What We object
to is the endeavor of the male phil
osopher to evolve woman's sphere
out of his own consciousness, and
shut her up within it; what we insist
ON is that both sexes shall have equal
liberty and equal largeness OF life,
and that each shall fnd its appro-
pirate sphere for itself.
