NEW YORK, September Is, 1904
Just now fashionable dressmaking es-
Establishments are involved in bridal fnery.
October Is the month for autumn we'd
dings, and the approach Of the period
shows no decline of interest in the holy

other styles which prevail, the trousseaux
of the coming bride will be picturesque
and enhancing in every way.
Never did fashion offer so many CO.

everything shall be coquettish. Hats high
crowned and fiaring in brim are trimmed

GORGEOUS HOSIERY
WINTER STYLES DISPLAYED IN
VIVID CoLoRS.

The hosiery extravaganza of the hour is
unquestionably the hand-painted stocking

the frocks showing panels of hand-painted
silk or satin, or gowns trimmed with that
greater extravaganza, hand-painted lace.

Is none of the small flock to be made
lovely save the golden-haired daughter of
the house? What about the little man? Is
there no such thing as beauty for him?
A much perverted idea of beauty exists
in a good many minds. Beauty in boy is
looked upon as an effeminate thing, thing
to be associated with faxen curls, worn
long and tied with a blue bow; with red
velvet suits and lace collars that cause the
more masculine young neighbors to boot

able and ashamed tears.
But the beautiful boy is not in any sense
what is known as pretty" He is not a
creature of lace and velvet and f1axen
curls. He Is the broad-shouldered, sturdy
legged young American, the kind that may
work out his physical future upon foot

DGSpaTadOS Indicted
For Train Robbery-Luther Smith
Returns from Las Vegas.

Deputy Luther Smith, who went
to Las Vegas sometime ago in COM
pany with other officers to take the
Black boys and Murphy, returned
last night. He informed a report
er that the three prisoners were
indicted by the grand jury for
holding up a Rock Island train at
Logan, N. M. The deed was
committed July 80, 1904. It is al
legged that the train was held up for
thirty minutes, the would-be rob-
bers entering the express car and
dynamiting the safe. Their at
tempt was unsuccessful.
Jim and John Black and John
Murphy were arrested not far from
Duncan by Deputies Madsen and
Lilly and Detective w. O. Nc
Intosh. The charge on which
they were arrested here grew out of
a scrap which they had with
Rock Island brakeman near Law
ton. They served a sentence here for
carrying weapon. After serving
this sentence, they were taken to
Las Vegas.
A reward of $1,000 each was Of
ferred for their arrest and con-
viction.
Mr.. Smith returned home via FL
Paso and Juarez, Mexico.

its feathers. They may have been
pounding him with the Big Stick.
1t was really a deed terribly siren
uous and strenuously awful.
The reporter wrote it up" for
his Boston paper and the Boston
editor proceeded to depict the de-
pravity back of thedeed and the low
state of civilization where an act OF
such unparalleled barbarity was
perpetrated On the White House
grounds and hy the children Of the
chief executive.
1t was not long before the presi-
dent heard of it. Promptly he
called the juvenile offenders to ac-
count. Teddy Jr., did you do it?
mo sir. Archie, did you do
it?" "No, papa" None Of them
did it, as is usual in such cases.
Then indeed was the president
truly wroth. Laying aside the big
stick which had been destined TO
fall on the tender spots of the
young culprits, he called his secre-
tary and began to say things, more
things perhaps than appeared in the
published statement. He told Mr..
Loeb to say to the people that it
was all malicious falsehood, that
the turkey never was maltreated,
that even at that moment it was
peacefully at Oyster Bay.
Then the story was ticked off by
the telegraph operators to the great
papers all over the country. The
President gave orders that the
mendacious reporters of the Bos-
ton paper were never to poke their
heads into the executive Offices, and
now the affair is closed incident
and the papers can tell us what
Kuropatkin is doing.

OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

The nation is in the throes of an
excitement scarcely less violent
than that occasioned by the blow
ing up of the Maine. Turkey is
the cause of it-not Turkey where
the Sultan S soldiers arouse the ire
of the nations by the slaughter of
Armenians and where the bandits
breakfast on missionaries. but
turkey spelled with a small It.
Itwas inst a plain old-fashioned
bafnyard fowl, a turkey that had
hitherto lead the most exemplary
life. Perhaps he did walk a little
more proudly, perhaps his comb
was redder sand his tail feathers
longer than those of the ordinary
bird. Perhaps he was ambitious,
"if 'twere so, twere a grievous
fault and grievously hath he an
swered for it. =" 1t may have been
the achievements of an ambition
che risbed from childhood's hour,
encouraged no donbt by fond par
ents. And truly it was praise
worthy for any turkey to aspire to
grace the Presidents thanksgiving
dinner table.
More likely, however, he was
the Innocent instrument of fate in
arousing the nations capital and
sendiug out a whirlwind of excite
ment that nearly jerked the Asso-
ciated Press wires off the poles and
startled the inhabitants of the en-
tire country.
There was a newspaper reporter
mixed up in it too-a mischief
maker always. 1t may be that ali
the trouble was due to the fact
that the pen pusher lied-they
sometimes gdo.
1t all came about by milwaukee
admirer sending the President
turkey. A reporter saw or thought
of imagined he saw the Roosevelt
children chasing the bird across
the White House lawn. Maybe
his whole story was pipe dream,
but he said that he actually
saw the children pursue the
turkey till it fell exhausted and
then in 6endish glee pIucked out
