BEDROOM SLIPPERS.

A new way OF making bedroom slip

simple that some enc surely should have
brought It out long ago.
They are made Of eiderdown-to match
your bathrobe in color. and are a dozen
ti,aes easier to make than the old-fash-
ioned-but pretty-croeheted ones. In
stead OF spending every evening for a
week over their making, several pairs
can be made IN one evening
There are several ways of making
them. the most satisfactory being like
a sock-cut out. in fact, by a pattern
made from your stocking, but little
larger. Two pieces cut exactly alike
and stitched together. with the top turn

and cut your uppers the same shape as

Friendship is too tender a relation to
be presumed on. True friends are only
too rarely met with in this life Of ours
so rarely indeed. that our friends may
be counted on the fingers OF any Of us,
aye, and perhaps on those OF one hand,
at that.
So it behoOves us all to do everything
in our power 20 keep our friends. and
one OF the best ways to do this is never
TO presume on the friendship OF friend,
sister or brother (for the members Of
ones own family may also be one S
friends), and TO do that Il Is well never
to cross the barrier OF respect.
There is no reason why the members
of ones own family. or ones best
friends. should be asked to accept treat
ment at our hands that we would not
dare 10 offer 20 strangers. Neither
should that unruly member. he tongue
be lost control of in our dealings with
our own next of kin or old-time friends.
Yet such things happen only too often;
we are apt to lose our tempers and IN
such moments say things we have no
right to say, particularly TO friends, and
herein is the application of that old
saying familiarity breeds Contempt"
Always keep at one side OF the in
visible barrier of respect. Never allow
yourself to cross It In your dealings
with your friends. and then the truth

Marriage SuperSIItfoHs.

people who. though entirely devoid OF

always wish TO face a window at the

In Chicago the other day yong girl
was going to be married. accompanied
by her maid Of honor. both logged out
In silk attire and looking as Charming
as they should, Of course, under the cir
cumstances.
The old adage says that bride should
wear:
Something old. something new.
Something borrowed, and something
blue
and so these lassies borrowed ali the
finery in which they appeared-and were
arrested before they reached the waiting
bridegroom!
1t seems they had borrowed the goods
from a friend OF theirs without asking
her permission. hence their arrest: but
as the owner did not appear at the trial.
and as the girls pleaded their natural
desire to look their best on the occas-
ion. they were discharged. and then hur-
ried of 10 the belated ceremony.
Such a case is ludicrous. but at the
same time It is sad. for 1t shows that
the girls were willing to sacrifice their
self-respect for finery. by taking 1t
without asking permission, although
they doubtless did not expect the de-
nOuemeut.
However, be that as it may. the Dor
rowing OF clothes is a habit which many
women have acquired. Surprising two
girls live together; II is not at ali I'M
usual for one to borrow some little wear
able belonging to the other. and often
perhaps. without asking permission.
While the other friend would no
doubt. be entirely willing to lend her
things. al the same time the act describ-
ed is presuming on friendship. which Is
d sad mistake. and one sure to be re-
GREETED in the long run.
OF course. l do not mean 10 insinusta
that any Of my readers would do as
did these girls in Chicago; for they. OF
course, belong TO an entirely different
class but the story helps 10 point a
moral, and has reminded me Of the

STATEMENT OF STRIKERS.
Story Told by oeported Leaders Of
Southern Miners.

Denver, March 27.-A dispatch to
the Republican from La Junta last
night says: William Wardjon. in
statement made in the Harvey hotel
here tonight said that the only offense
on the part of the deported persons,
so far as he knew, was the fact that
they carried guns. These. he said,
were necessary to protect their homes,
which had been broken into. He
charged that women had been insulted
by the intruders. In a public state
ment he said that the Citizens ALI
ance of Trinidad, together with the
different Interested corporations. had
contributed 100000 toward hiring
deputies, and that each deputy should
have received IS. when. in reality he
was getting SO per day.
Wardjon charged that Sheriff Clark
handled the money, that his "rake-off'
was large one and that. when
troops were finally requested, $1O,-
900 proposition had to be made to the
sheriff before the request received his
sanction.
Adolph Bartolli. editor of the Italian
paper, lie Trovatore Italiano. says he
was arrested Friday evening. Just as
his paper had come from the press and
was ready for distribution, and that
he was held until this afternoon with
out being allowed to circulate his pa
per.
Wardjon further stated that he had
three warrants sworn out that should
have been served. but the officers of
the justice court informed the deputy
sheriff that they should not be served.
He admits that there were warrants
out for his arrest, that were not
served. charging him with disturbance.
but he says this charge is groundless.
The deported persons were accom-
panied as far as La Junta by Capt. c.
A. Kelley and five militiamen, who,
after telling them they were never to
return to Trinidad. said they might go
where they pleased. The soldiers left
for Trinidad at an early hour this
morning and the deported leaders will
go to Pueblo in the morning. Mother"
Jones retired early and could not be
interviewed.

there. He says that the houses are

The Retvizan, he says, is the only

He declares that supplies are ample

considers the capture of Port Arthur

Pagini and Bartolli. respectively, own
ers and publishers Of an Italian paper,
lie Trovatore Italiano, alleged to be
incendiary in character. were deported
from Trinidad, being sent to La Junta
on the Santa Fe.
The searching of houses throughout
the city for firearms caused consider
able excitement among the house
wives. but when the soldier boys po-
litely informed them OF their errand,
they promptly obeyed. The registra-
tion of firearms at headquarters was
unusually heavy to-day and the de-
mand for passes greater than Adju-
tant Eaton was able to supply.
Tonight all who had not secured the
coveted passes were forced to go home
at 9 o'clock. Major Hill said tonight
that he had no statement regarding
the situation to make public further
than that among the guns presented
for registration were three by DIR.

carried by his grandfather in the Rev

An unusually large crowd of people
thronged the streets all day, many
coming in from the country on their
regular weekly visits. and others out

of state troops.

given receipts that will entitle them
to reclaim their property when the

Several arrests were made for at

reported from any part of the county.
In the various coal camps the search
