The new short skirt is a marvel when ft comes to comfort but have you ever tried to hold 1t up2 Ye gods, What hopeless muddle 1t does make of itself Yes, and incidentally of you, for the one is not complete without the other
 When the skirt that just cleared the ground came in with a gust of wind and a downpour of rain 1t was considered something pretty fine. but an innovation that was to be treated charily. So much 60. in fact, that unless the ram was com ing down in bucketfuls 1t was more or less risque to venture out and boldly display a third of an inch of ankle And the funny part of 1t all was that these selfsame lasSies would sail serenely down public avenue swathed about with yards of frills and fIrbelows, but held at an alarming angle. What difference did that make if the ankles were trim and the boots dainty, That the material was there and in plain sight if any one cared to look was all that was necessary or required
 But now the tiRles have changed and froclIs have just about reversed their positions The tra:is1g rrffie5 are left at home as long as the sun IS in power and the short skirt sways supreme. And what an absolute tyrsnt T. ;s With yards and yards of thin silk they flutter and fly about and just about keep one distracted trying to hold them in place, for no sooner is ore side reefed n enough to defy the winds than the other is executing an animated blOwaway dance and beckoning and flirting with every tiny gust that chances along in a most orTfraCeOrS manner
 Then comes a peck of trouble. If you make a desperate clutch at one side to prevent the whole from floating serenely over your head, you raise the short folds higher than you intended and come back to earth with a duil thud only when you realize that you are afOrding others more than a little amusement.
 On the other hand. if you move quick iy and without thinking yCJ are more than apt to put cut boin hands and draw the toy balloon to the front, and then you are :n a worse PTed-caulent than before There YOU sand for the world and all like your Erea: grand mother, lifting up her precious Sunday go-to-meeting black silk to avoid a two by-four puddle To say the least you are not the acme of grace and there IS something irresistibEy laughable about the woman who makes of herself a Yeritable Mother Bunch.
 Then there Is the chorus girl style For some reason or other 1t isn't espe- cially fetching or captivating and while people undoubtedly stare. i. $ an open question as 10 what they are thinking

One would JhInN that this would be sufficient, but II lsn'tN-.y any manner of means Still holding on to It for grim life. another volume Is gathered in from somewhere, preferably from She side and front breadths. and away you go, making an unhOly exhibition of pour self In the first place the steps are all mihcing and small and every ore ss zc- companied by a little ilufT-fUE of petti- ! coats and silk and an amazing length of hosiery And, pray tell, how couid [, very well be otherwise Ise sk1fr- as full as any dresSulker can make F. ls held zs snuglv across the back and hips as Is possible, and that straight, tight !, line goes to the depth of the knees. where 1t IS suddenly let loose to fly and switch about as 1t pleases.

 There is a happy medium in ar things. and even If 1t takes an eIldless amount of practice and work. It should be struck To be tod. perfect IS almost as bad as to be too careless. for It eN cites not SO much the envy as the derl- sion of our friends who live m mos imperfect world They watch even step that IS taken on our tiny Pedssta' that we have reared for ourselves. and all eagerness to witness the Collapse which is bound to come sooner or later Every time we manage to make our selves ridiculous, and 1t IS such aIi easy | thing to do, we see a smile hover over | the faces of every ore, even including 7ur best friends. and Tn the midst Of our chagriu we suddenly realize that the path that is broadest and the best worn | IS the safest and the least wobbiy-

hANDAnUS DISMISSED
Certificate of Election as Sheriff
 Issued to J. E. Walker.

Judge Kent yesterday dismissed the writ of mandamus in the case of w. W. Cook against the members of the board of supervisors, a proceeding for a review of the action of the board of supervisors in finding that J. Elliott Walker had been elected sheriff by four votes.
 The court said briefly in announcing his decision that he had been unable to find any law authorizing him to review the action of the board. This decision had been expected by the at tOrneys for the applicant as we'll as by most of the legal fraternity and had been indicated by the remarks of the court at the time of the hearing.
 Whatever opinion might have been entertained by the court regarding the manner of the canvass of the votes he said that his power in the matter would depend upon the character of the board. If it was acting in a minis terial capacity when it accepted one of the tally sheets of the fourth ward of Phoenix and rejected or ignored the other, the court might inquire by what reason it had done so. But if the board was exercising a discretionary right the court would be without the right to interfere. From other observations IL Was JHe OPiIllou at Ile lliHe that lue court did not believe that he could question the acts of the supervisors.
 The next thing now will be the con- test which would have been inevitable in any event. As soon as the deci- sion of the court was announced Clerk Osborn of the board of supervisors is sued a certificate of election to MT. Walker The contest will have to be filed within the next thirty days but it will probably be filed long before the expiration of that time. An effort will probably be made to have it passed upon by the district court as soon as possible so that in the event of an ap- peal the matter may be brought before the supreme court, which will sit in January.

III One standard Il Established. why Not

Why should not the protective tariff

The gold standard was advocated by

just as firmly expressed their prefer

by congress IL the people demanded
their revision, and the only reason that
the Democratic party Is attempting to
make the tariff an issue In this cam

forgotten their sad experience under
the Wilson-Gorman Democratic tariff
bill. After the votes are counted in

that the people who by their votes rule
this country consider the protective

firmly and irrevocably established as
cardinal principles.

The Honorable Charles Towne.
republican, populist, democrat,
ana one time senator of the Cap
itol at Washington by guberna-
torial appointment for a brief
spell until his state could get at
him, has not been making the
desired explanations of his silver
and wheat theory Of 1896. There
is doubtless some explanation
It may be like the idea held by
old Captain Grant Marsh, the
last of the old-time Missouri
steamboat kings when he says
that the Ignite coal found in
Dakota has either undergone a
geological transformation, in the
past twenty years, or else that
fire has changed, for he tried to
burn it during the old days and
could not, whereas he now uses
it exclusively on his stern wheel
er. the last of it's races on The
Upper Missouri. The expalna
ton is at least satisfactory tt
