Japan once furnished single silk
wrap that figured in no less than four

crepe shawl that was sent to the family
of s. B. Hynes. of Chicago, and became
the property OF Mrs. Hynes. 1t was sent.

Of the family, the duty being SOS.
In the Hynes family were four daugh-
tiers who were becoming of manageable
age, and each wanted the Japanese
shawl. Finally Mrs. Hynes, to settle the
matter, cut the garment into four parts.
giving one to each Of her daughters.
Each piece was deity worked into the
wedding gown Of the bride to be, as the
marriages took place several years apart.
The delicate fabric was draped over the
front part of the gowns, the crepe being
solidly embroidered, alike on each side,
with heavy fringe. The youngest of
the four daughters was married last fall,
at Laporte, Ind, and the other sisters
having preserved their wedding dresses.
the four were photographed, each cos

QUAIL PLENTY IN OKLAHOMA.
severe Game Law Recently Enacted
Z in the Territory Has Caused
Increase in the Birds.

With favorable weather conditions
during the nesting season next spring,
there should be more quail in Okla
homa in the fall of 1904 than at any
time since the country was opened.
The game law enacted by the last leg
islature was so prohibitive that during
the past open season for quail, which
closed February 1, the killing of birds
was reduced to minimum. Not only
was it against the law for any person
to ship quail to points outside of Okla
homa, but an Oklahoma sports
man could not ship quail on
common carriers from one point to
another in Oklahoma. Railroad and
express companies dared not accept
prohibitive game for shipment. The
Oklahoman who ate quail this year
either killed them himself or caused
some person to violate the law in buy
ing them.
The game law has been strictly en-
forced this season, and many heavy
fines, sometimes as high as $500, were
imposed upon yiolators. There has
been an abundance of quail, and in
several western counties. especially
Day, prairie Chickens were plentiful.

the services to be held the following day

The result was more startling than
Mr.. Garth could have imagined, for
practically the whole town turned out
and half an hour before the service be-
gan people were being turned away from
the doors. Most of the congregation
brought their newspapers for pro-
grammes, and the rustling nearly
drowned out portions of the services.
Conservative members are shocked at
what they term the pastor sacrilegious
