Keeping It to Ourselves.

dens to bear, talk least about them

years or in experience-who think
their real load is little heavier than
ahyone's else. The real burden-car-
riers have not time or energy to waste
in talking about their burdens. Their
chief interest lies in accomplishing
not publishing abroad their hard
ships. The very dwelling on the hard
ships or unpleasant features of ones
work increases those hardships. They
.hrive under the cultivation of talk.

HOW TO RUN THE FURNACE
BY Observing These Instructions It
May Be Made Very
Tractable.

The local Society of Fine Arts has
started its fall classes in furnace-craft.
There is popular opinion that all
that is necessary to do in the way of
running the cellars coal heater is tc

down at night and empty the ashes

crude ideas of immature thought, says
the Minneapolis Journal.

must be petted, groomed and cared for
by fiurnacier who makes it a labor

the quid pro quo to which the house is
entitled. Quid pro quo is Latin for
that variety of hot heat which, like
that letter, is longed for, but some
times never comes. Heat is a funny
thing. 1t is just as well satisfied to go
UP the chimney or out into the cellar
as into the drawing room or bath
room. And there is always lingering

Athabasca, or some other polar chine
that, like the last fly of autumn, is
anxious to get inside before the bell
rings. To care for this Nebraska chill
the furnace man has accommodatihgly
arranged what is called q "cold air in
take" Cut it out!
1t may do for Kentucky, but it is not
the thing for Minnesota. The first
thing you want to do is to get a stout
furnace surgeon and excise the cold air
intake appendix. About 8,0OO,O
yards of the Arctic circle are trailing
around the house, moaning to get into
the cold air intake. Cut it out!
Let the cold air get in around the
doors and window castings. 1t will get
in, anyhow, but 1t is not necessary for
YOU to provide it rapid transit facili-
ties. Cut it out!
Have major operation performed
on it. Leave nothing below the
diaphragm except. perhaps. the lower
limbs. After this your furnace will
make quick recovery and you will be
surprised to see it come up in the
morning and eat out of your hand.

There are so many charming and really
inexpensive materials obtainable nova
days that we ought to be able to get a
smart and becoming house frock for a
comparatively small price.
OF course, gowns for street wear are 8
little different, and the success of shor,
skirt depends upon the cut; it should
also be worn with smart petticoat. AL.
though we cannot expect it to wear very
we'll, the glace petticoat makes smart
finish to these inexpensive frocks, and
for wear where things get quickly soiled.
it is better perhaps to have two or three
more expensive one, although for ordi-
nory purposes the underskirt made out
of brocade remnants is distinctly Geo.
nomical. Washing satin petticoats, too
are admirable for house and evening
wear. 1t must always be remembered
that the petticoat requires careful cut
ting and if you have not a good pattern
it is we'll to buy the cheaper ones ready
made and properly cut from any of our
large drapery establishments.
The cult of the ready-made has been
brought to perfection, especially in the
sartorial world. But it is in the house
frock that individual genius may be ex-
ercised with excellent results at small
cost, and l have come to the conclusion
that for street wear it is advisable to
invest in ready-made costume while
for indoor wear one can hardly do bet
ter, on limited allowance, than make
a simple frock at home, by the aid of a
sewing maid.
Let me advise the amateur to eschew
wonderful colorings unless she can al
ford good materials. Most Of us recol-
lect what terrible craze there was three
or four seasons ago for tweeds in crude
shades of pink and blue, which people
fondly imagined were vieux rose and
pastel blue! All exclusive shades have
to be specially dyed and can only be re.
produced in the very best stuffs. The
manufacturers have brought colors to
absolute perfection, but they cannot do
them cheaply, not even in cashmeres.
But there are some things we can buy
cheap. Brown is not an expensive color
and it is smart where it suits. Navy
blue is delightful unless it be unbecom-s
ing to the wearer. It is not a bad plan
for the woman on limited allowance
to find color that suits her and to ad-
here to it throughout her entire ward

The outdoor costume is not always a

OUTLAWS OF APACHE LEAP
An Outing Story of Tempe and Final,
 by Dane Coolidge.

One of the most interesting stories in September Outing is The Outlaws of Apache Leap" The writer is Dane Coolidge, a well known short story writer who spent last winter and part of the spring at Tempe making ex- tensive side trips to the cattle ranges on the adjacent deserts. It was on one of these trips that he secured the local Coloring for his story. It is illustrated by photographs taken by himself and many of them will be easily recognized by Arizonians.
 The outlaws of the story are not us may be supposed renegade Indians but renegade cattle of the ranches of Jas. F. Bark. Jack Frazier and others who control a part of the country de- scribed by MT. Coolidge sd follows: Away out in the west there is q nice country where the mountains are aF sharp. the canyons deep and the veg citation spiny and bitter. This country belongs to anyone who will live in it. and goes by the name of Pinal. If any one should get frozen out of Pinal Arizona is full of other large hot dis tricts whose most important function, so far determined by the casual ob- server, is to hold the rest of the world together. Pinal used to be an Apache stronghold Then it yielded its ml- lions in silver and gold and then it be- came the cattleman's paradise and now it is abandoned to the prospector ana wild cattle"
 MT. Coolidge describes a round up in general and then begins the descrip- tion of this one as follows: Last win ter it forgot to rain in Arizona. This applies to most any of the past ten years-but last winter it was special. So the Pinal colony in Tempe decided to wait month. The cattle were too thin to run without killing themselves and there was no grass to feed the beef-herd on when it was gathered. The first of March came-but the grass was too short. On the first of April the colony suddenly decided that it was not going to rain that year and they would better gather the cattle right away before the calves left their moth CTS and the summer heat set in. So the word went round"
 Then. came the gathering of the cow boys: Johnny and Porter rode in from Tempe, Phil and Worth from their mountain canyons, and threw off their saddles at PinaI. First Johnny rode out over the Mesa to the valley where his mare Mag ran wild. It took half a day to rope Mag and the oth- CT half to shoe her forefeet It took another half day for four men to shoe her hind feet and cinch a pack saddle on her so it would stick Then with heavy pack to break her spirit and with her head tied to the tail of a more sober pack horse, Johnny's Mag trailed along behind the procession to Apache Leap" The above mentioned Johnny, Worth and Phil are Johnny Jones, Worth BelIamy and Phil Nich-
