AGAIN the Shirt Waist.

Oh, dressmaker, whose word is law,
In your DEGREES we pick no flaw
Nor question for a day your taste;
We puff up sleeves If so you say,
Your skirt commands we all obey,
But spare US. do. the dear shirt waist
When comes the dear old summer time,
And heat almost incites to crime,
Then we are cool and self possessed;
While other people fret and fume
We float serenely round the room
Within the shirt waist neatly pressed.
And, too, it has another charm,
One that should keep it safe from harm
1T is secret most profound
That men prefer shirt waists, we guess,
To any other style of dress
To slyly put their arms around.
What is more pleasing to the eye
Than seeing shirt waists f1utter by?
Such visions all too rare occur.
The man looks after with delight
And says as vanishes the sight,
"Id leave my happy home for her."

GRACIOUS MRS. ROOSEVELT

courteous Act of the Presidents Wife
at the Inauguration.
Perhaps the prettiest incident in con-
hection with the whole inauguration
parade was admired by the fortunate
hundreds nearest the pavilion from
which the president reviewed the
troops and civic marchers, says writer
in the New York Press. 1t hap
pened so quickly after President Roose-
velt's arrival in the pavilion that many
who might have seen it doubtless
missed it. A murmur of appreciation
ran through the fashionable throng in
the White House grand stand however,
at the sight of it, and one European dip
lOmat remarked loudly enough to be
heard by dozens of neighbors that it
was the most graceful act he had seen
in his whole career Yet it was only
the moving of a chair That chair was
moved, however, by Mrs. Roosevelt,
and the impulse inspiring the act was
so transparent that it was recognized
instantly.
When the president still was bowling
to the cheering multitude Mrs. Roose-
welt and Miss Roosevelt advanced to-
ward the front of the pavilion, where
chairs had been placed for them. The
committeeman who put the chairs there
arranged them so that Mrs. Roosevelt's
was almost foot closer to the rail
than that Of her stepdaughter. Mrs.
Roosevelt noticed that, and as she sat
down she unostentatiously moved Miss
Roosevelt's chair forward until it was
several inches in front ofher own. 1t
was a graceful deed, because as the
presidents wife Mrs. Roosevelt would
have been entirely justified in taking
the position next in prominence to that
of the chief executive. By yielding
place to the younger woman she dis
played the gentle courtesy for which
among other reasons she is loved by
her many friends.

ROCKEFELLER A CRIMINAL BY LAW.

A prominent Waa Wala clergyman asks:
IF Mr. Rockefeller really bad and openly so bad
that denounced why haven't we laws which
would place behind prison bars? Why do allow him
to go with his plutocrac robberies?"
If the criminal of the Sherman anti trust law
were enforced against Rockefeller head of the
Standard Trust, both fined and imprisoned
the national administration has not seen fit to
enforce of the Sherman law is not clear.
The money Rockefeller has accumulated and is
accumang through of the law is tainted just

SEA IN A DESERT.
Wide foundations In Lower Califor-
MIA and Arizona.

MIA and Arizona.
The Salton sea, the phenomenon
which led to so much talk few
years ago, has again appeared, and
there is once more a vast inland sea in
the Colorado desert, says a San Fran
cisco dispatch. This time the men who
are engaged in engineering work in
bringing the waters of the Colorado
river under control for irrigation pur-
poses are blamed for the inundation.
The Colorado river, which is high, has
simply backed up in the canals and in
the new river and thus forced it's way
into the heart Of the desert, which is
800 feet below sea level.
The oasis is thus filled The sea
stretches from Ocean Beach to Wal
ters. There is a complete tie-up Of salt
works at Salton. This, however, can
not be called a disaster, for when the
sea came in for the first time it helped
enormously to increase the output of
salt, as it enabled the managers to use
gang plows to cut deep into the salt
layers.
In Arizona, where there was never
known to be any water, great lakes
have been formed, and the presence Of
this water is said to have changed the
climate considerably. These lakes
prove the value of irrigating, for since
the appearance Of this water there
have come into existence vast fields Of
grass, which proves that the soil under
irrigation would be capable Of support
ing crops.

FAvoRS SMOKE LAW.
]. B. Oliver of Pittsburg Writes Agent
Here

The health department has received
copy of a letter from Mr.. James b. Oliver
of Pittsburg, owner of the oliver iron
and steel works, and also owner of the
Farragut apartment house in this city,
addressed to his agent here, in which Mr.
Oliver comes to the support of the Dis
trict smoke law. Mr.. Oliver tells his agent
that the latter IS not to use his influence
in fighting the smoke law, and he men,
lions a method of feeding the furnaces
which, he declares, will effectively pre-
vent smoke emissions. The letter from
Mr.. Oliver follows:
do not fight that smoke law with my
influence. Although live in what is con-
sidered the smokiest city tPittsburg) in
the world, yet my company has spent
thousands and thousands of dollars to SO
construct their steam-producing plants
as to avoid smoke. We burn the softest
kind of soft coal; you can never see the
slightest smoke coming from our stacks.
This is because we fire by machinery.
Jackson CANTOR at the FarraguD, is
your machine and is doing the work just
as our machinery does it. feeding the
fresh coal over the hot cinders slowly
and creating thorough combustion.
IF they ever break down this law in
the District of Columbia, Washington
will be as bad as Philadelphia, and Phila-
delphia should be the cleanest city in the
United States, as they have the cheapest
anthracite. but it is about as dirty as
PittSburg."
