SHOWED ALL oLD-rlME SKILL.
Geronimo, Apache Chief, Roped Steer
in Short Order.

The monotony of the quiet life
which Geronimo, the Apache chief,
zas been leading was varied yester
day with tinge of the strenuous life
of his youth He participated in a
Wild West show. Geronimo was the
guest of the proprietor, and put in his
appearance dressed in the full regalia
of the days of his former greatness.
The old man was given a good
horse and lasso, and a steer was
turned loose in the arena, and Ge-
ronimo was told to rope and tie it
Starting his horse at full gallop, the
chase began After circling himself
around, the old chieftain whirled the
lasso and made the throw. The rope
settled around the steers neck at the
first attempt. In an instant the roper
was off his horse, and with all the
cunning of his youth proceeded to tie
the animal fast and sound, accom-
plishing the feat in a very short time.
The exhibition clearly demonstrated
the fact that in spite of his 76 years
he still possesses the strength and
agility of youth.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A really charming novelty can be

lies in the irregularity of the edges,
which should not be trimmed. The

with four brass paper holders, the
points of which are pressed through
the leather and turned back against

TREE HAS RAPID GROWTH.
Strangely Grated, 1t Bids Fair to
Break Records

D. J. Bates of North Scituate, Mass,
has curiosity growing on his grounds
near the famous Bound brook" the
dividing line between Plymouth and
Norfolk counties, also the towns of
Cohasset and Scituate
Last winter a thrifty apple tree, one
inch in diameter, was girdled by mice,
or some such small animals, close to
the soil, to all appearances killing it.
May 1 of this year Mr.. Bates cut the
tree off about two inches above
ground and grated it with a three
inch scion from one of its own
branches, in the way of an experiment,
with little expectation that it would
live, but it Immediately began to

every stitch is a loving thought for
the one who is fortunate enough to re-
ceive it.
1t is amazing how beautiful an OBJ
ject can be made with a yard of linen,
a few skeins of embroidery silk, and
an attractive design. Here are few
hints for the woman who always
makes it point to put love into her
gifts to family and dearest friends:
An Attractive Veil Case.
In this age of many wells con-
venient and dainty receptacle for
their safe keeping Becomes al
most a necessity. This extremely
pretty one is practical as well as orna-
mental. and can be made from a num-
Der of materials. The peculiar and es-
sential feature is the arrangement of
the ribbons on the inside. These are
four in number and each should be
an inch in width. The ends of each
piece are attached to different sides
of the case; that is to say, the two
ribbons that are crossed at the center
are attached to the outer edge Of the
upper section of the cover and to the
inner edge of the lower section, and
the ribbons that are placed straight
in exactly the opposite manner, or to
the inner edge of the upper section
and to the outer edge of the lower.
By this arrangement the case is
made to open at both sides, and the
simple act Of closing and opening it

bows of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs, with embroidery of small
flowers in color, are exceedingly dain-
ty and attractive, and many other va
riatiOns can be made.
Some Useful TrifIes.-The gift that
combines utility with beauty is often
the most welcome of all. Catch-alls
can never be too numerous. The SIM
pie three-cornered form is by no
means new, but becomes novel when
made from unfamiliar materials. Such
a one consists of a square of plain
Japanese or Chinese fine quality OF
mating, painted in bold yet simple
design. 1t is then folded and bound
two edges together and two separate
~, and is finished with ribbons and
hanger.
When painting is beyond the skill
of the maker, embroidery in crewels
can be substituted, or, again, the
square can be of denim or heavy linen,
lined with the same and interlined
with stiffening, and the decoration,
painting or embroidery, as preferred.
Peoples painted in bold strokes on
the dark blue of the denim are singu-
1arly effective, and many other novel
designs will suggest themselves.
The problem of how to care tor the
line mind, and any practical device for
its safekeeping becomes a boon. 1t

Kin Game Out of Season.

Reports of the wholesale slaughter
or deer and game birds out of season
come to Duluth from the ranges. 1t
is claimed that scores of men are en-
gagged at hunting to supply camps and
individuals in the towns with venison
and partridge The rate at which
game is being killed, it is claimed, will
make serious inrOads on deer and
partridge this year The season for
partridge opened on Oct Is, but the
young birds have been full grown for

five inches in height. 1t has on sew
eral occasions grown three-quarters of
an inch in single day.
The little tree is rising as straight as
the proverbial bean pole. and though
only about as large round as a mans
finger, it has been 1eaved out.
Mr.. Bates, who is greatly interested
in its future, is carefully guarding it
against possible accident, with the in
tention of seeing what a few years
growth will develop in the strangely
grated tree.

take her pet poodle visiting with her

Game Birds Killed by Storm.

1t is seldom that hurricane and
thunderstorm brings in its train
deluge of game birds This singular
spectacle, however, was witnessed in
the Tarbes district recently The
storm broke over the district in the
evening, and when the gale was at
its height, about 10 O'Clock, large
f1ocks of quail, which must have been
migrating at an invisible height, were
beaten to the ground, the plain
around the city being thickly strewn
with their bodies In the grounds of
the Hotel de Paris the birds were
picked up in dozens--London Globe.

The lowers edge of the skin is slash
ed into narrow strips to form a fringe,
and it's surface is decorated with

Gifts Made of Handkerchiefs.-
Handkerchiefs seem ever to be serv-
ing some new use. One of the latest
is the making of dainty bags for fancy
work and the like. A particularly
pretty bag of this sort requires two
handkerchiefs, the size used by men,
or small muff1ers. They should be of
fine linen. The upper handkerchief,
embroidered with a border of forget
me-nots within the hem, is cut at the
center to form a circular opening, the
edge of which is faced to form a cas-
ing, in which is inserted an ordinary

James NJ. Skidmore, of Borden Mine,
one of a party who could recite "Wc
are Seven" went to South Branch on a
fishing excursion last week. Mr.. S. is
mentioned thus conspicuously because he
was the victim of a practical joke which
came near turning out seriously. He
was deep in sleep when one of his COM
rades, III a spirit of fun, extemporized an
amateur explosion of powder near Mr..
SIS face. More than 1.-The expected
followed. Mr.. Skidmore was not only
awakened but for time had reason to
fear that the sight of both his eyes had
been destroyed. 1t is needless to say
that the party abandoned the tour and
returned home without any trophies of
the fish hunt.
