WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
In Champery, Switzerland, the Sight
Causes No Comment.

In Champery, Switzerland, the Sight
Causes No Comment.
1t will probably be news to many ad-
vocates of feminine dress reform to
hear that the women Of Champery,
primitive mountain district of the Can
ton Valais, Switzerland, have worn
trousers from time immemorial. The
Champery region is in the southwest
ern part of the Canton Valais. the vii
lage of Champery itself being at the
foot Of the Dent du Midi, well known
to Lake Geneva tourists.
The men of Champery are noted for
their lazy habits. and beyond acting as
guides to mountain climbers in the
summer months they lead an absolute
" idle life. The women perform all
the hard labor required Of a mountain
eering people. 1t is they who pasture
The cattle on the steep and often dan
gerous Alpine slopes, cut the timber
and NOW the grass. 1t is a usual
sight to see a Champery woman, her
daily toll ended, returning to the vii
lage dragging her husband on one Of
the wooden sleighs in general use
throughout Switzerland, her lord and
master all the while lazily smoking his
pipe.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that the women of Cham
perry should have adopted the mascu-
line attire. Their costume is of the
simplest kinda jerkin of rough, dark
blue material, with trousers to match,
and a red foulard to protect the head.
While desperately practical, nothing
more unprepossessing in the way of
feminine dress could be imagined than
this costume Of the Champery danes
and damsels. Moreover. these wives
and mothers of Champery. who are ac-
customed to all the work generally
supposed to be the lot Of the sterner
sex, not unnaturally seek what conso
lation they can in masculine comforts
Chief among these is the short briaI
pipe, which they all smoke and evi
IDENTIFY enjoy as much If not more thar
their husbands and fathers.-New York

Business, like your salary, might al

Some people are too insistent on the
right to be fools in their own way.
When a young man refuses to work,
that is the beginning Of all his other

When you abuse a boy for being

They cnt Rnth WAYS.

Some intelligence Offices encourage
even the greenest girls TO abandon gen
eral housework and try for the place Of
cook, parlor maid. etc, for it increases
the fee, many Offices basing this upon
the amount OF wages paid This is
one explanation of the decreasing num-
Der of general housework girls.
They are also responsible for some Of
the restlessness Of employees. Girls
are placed in positions and removed
when they are needed for others. Some
use employers as training schools.
Green foreigners are sent, and when
they have learned enough English and
housework they are sent to others for
higher wages, the Office not neglecting
to collect the extra fees.
Then they inform the long suffering
employer that they understand her
girl has left and that they can supply
her need--AuontiR Mnnthlys

Just For Women
Santa Claus.

I used to watch for Santa Claus
With childish faith sublime,
And listen in the snowy night
To hear his sleigh bells chime.
Beside the door on Christmas Eve
( put a truss of hay
10 feed the prancing dancing steeds
That sped him on his way.
I pictured him jolly man
White beard Of frosty white,
And cheeks so fat that when he laughed
They hid his eyes from sight.
A heart that overhowed with love
For little girls and boys
And on his back a bulging pack
Brimful of gorgeous toys.
If children Of a larger growth
Could have n Christmas tree
From Father Time, one gift alone
Would be enough for me
Let others take the gems and gold.
And trihes light and vain.
But give me back my old belief
I'm Santa Claus again!

measure strides with such Western

For the first time in the history of
the event the betting ring today was
without bookmakers. There was some
edge of the 900 policemen scattered
over the grounds. There were police
men everywhere, in the stand, in the
paddock, in the betting ring, on the
lawn and in the infie1d. Private de-
tectives made up the rest of the 500
watchers that were at the track to en-
force the law and to prevent betting.
Secret Bets Made
Any bets that were made were han
died secretly It was a pencil mark on
the cuff or a scrawl on a programme.
Usually the betting was transacted by
signals. This system, however, went
only for the big bettors, known to those
adventuresome enough even to whisper
a suspicion of odds.
AS for the man of limited means,
there was no chance for him today, and
as result he saved his money.
The absence of betting did not de-
tract from the race itself or from the
crowd. Spectators perhaps were less
numerous than last year, when it was
estimated that $4,000 persons went
through the gates. Today about ten or
fifteen thousand fewer saw the race
1t was, however, the same riot of color
on the lawns, club house steps and in
the inffeld. Tally-hos, drags and other
splendid turnouts were there in force,
and the cheering was quite as lusty at
the finish.
The victory Of the Eastern colt was
popular. despite the many hackers who
had pinned their faith in the winter

SOUTH ST. PAUL MAN
SHOOTS At HIS boy
Twice Discharges Doub.e-Bar-
relied Shotgun, and Visiting
Nelghbor Loses 2 Toes

Angered because his seventeen-year-
old son Nick went to the country and
carried with him the motor ticket, Jo-
seph Michaels, a packing house laborer
living on Simon avenue, in South ST.
Paul, last night attempted to shoot the
boy. He fired at him twice with
double-barreled shotgun. but his aim
was bad and the boy escaped without
being seriously injured, only a few
scattering shot having struck him.
One shot which went wide of its
mark. struck the foot Of a neighbor,
Henry Bush, who was at the Michaels
home, taking off two toes Soon after
the shooting Marshal Robinson, of
South St. Paul, placed Michaels under
arrest, but at a late hour last night
the boy had not been located. The au-
thorities are searching for him, and
when found he will be held as a wit
ness.
The shooting occurred shortly after
6 o'clock last night in the little home
occupied by Michaels and his five
children on Simon avenue, in the out
skirts Of the city. The boy had just
returned from the country, where he
had been for a week. When the father
reached home, he reprimanded the boy
for having carried away the motor
ticket, and the son answered rather
sharply. This angered the father, who
rushed into a bedroom and picked up a
double -barreled shotgun.
The boy was sitting on chair near
Mr.. Bush, who had come over to the
house for visit, and when the father
pointed the gun at him he jumped to
one side, just in time to see the chair
in which he was sitting riddled with
shot A part of the load struck Bush
in the foot. The boy ran from the
house and his father started in pur-.
suit. Outside the house the enraged
father fired the second barrel at the
fleeing youth. Yelling with pain. the
boy increased his speed and was soon
out of sight, and the father having no
more loads in the gun returned to the
house.
The report of the shooting quickly
spread and Michaels was placed under
arrest, while Bush was taken to his
home. where DR.. Hawkins, of ST. Paul,
found it necessary to amputate two
toes which had been riddled with shot.
The elder Michaels is said to have an
uncomfortable temper and when ar
rested expressed no sorrow at his ac-
ton. Mrs. Miehaels is an inmate of
the insane asylum at Rochester, where
she was taken some months ago.

DERBY DETAILS.

CHICAGO, June 18.-Without feel

Highball, the three-year- colt Will

Washington Park today. L. B. Dicker-

was fourth, hopelessly beaten, although
he was coming strong at the end. The
time, 2:33, equals the best time ever
made for this event. The Picket won
last years Derby in exactly the same
time.
Today's race was as exciting as any
ever run in the great classic The East
broke the ice for the first time in the
history of the event, and the Eastern
turfmen were rewarded for the many
thousands of dollars they have spent
in trying to capture the rich prize.
W. M. Scheftel, the owner of the
winner, is Wall street broker, and
this is the first year he has figured
prominently on the turf. 1t was due
to his trainer, BUD May, that the
colt was shipped West, and he was

vegetables are improved by several

it is difficult to take up the roots at such

SETTINGS OF SCIENCE.
:! IISZSSsSS

That thought must have some definite
vehicle, even when unexpressed, most
psychologists agree. That this vehicle
is the mental image of speech has been
asserted by some, while others believe
that it may be also the image Of written
language or some special combination OF
images that is neither of these.
: Edouard Meyer finds that the vegetable
organism, as well as the animal, gives
on N-rays in varying quantities, as may
be made evident by the feeble fuores-
cent screen. The most marked indica-
tions are given by the green parts, such
as stems, and especially leaves, but the
emanations are feebly detachable from
the flower. On treating tissues in act
i've growth with the vapor of chloro-
form, so as to slacken their vital func-
tions, the N-ray indications were CORE
spondingly lessened.
Uranium pitchblende ore, from which
radi,rm is derived, occurs mainly In mica
slate. The places where 1t is found are
the deep workings Of the former levels
of the silver mines of Joachimsthal. Prof.
Beoke, Of Vienna, recently made expert
ments with uranium pitchblende ores
at the Imperial Museum of Natural His
tory, which have been in possession Of
the museum since 1906. The expert
ments demonstrated that, in spite OF
their age, they have lost absolutely moth
ing of their Intensity of radio-activity
and of the energy of their electric prop
critics. They do not differ in any way
from the ores now taken at Joachim
sthal. y
