Capt Alexander Winsor, a man of
considerable public spirit, was instru-

Sweaters Of All Sorts.

The chief accessory of the outing
dress is the sweater, which is shown
this summer in an unwonted variety

close-itting sweater with broad belt

Scarlet or gray and scarlet are good
sweater colors, though perhaps white
with trimmings of green or scarlet,
or even of blue, has become pre-emi-

"FaIstaff" and "shyIoek."

Of all the characters Shakespeare
drew, only two have added themselves
to our language. "Falstafian" is the
word we apply to humor, and more
often to physical appearance, similar
to that of Sir John Falstaff, the boon
companion of Henry ", when Prince
of Wales, who was gross as a noun
tain" in size, and a rare rogue, posing
as a hero when he wouldn't face an
enemy, and being inordinately fond
of sack, a drink of his time. The
other and better known word is NShy-
lock- Shakespeare's Shylock was
money-lender, and Jew, who stuck te
the very letter of his bond, and since
then anyone who squeezes a hard
bargain. and insists upon its being
carried out, has been called Shy
lock-"

Caught pike Between His Knees.


Jack Schuler went up the ST. Louis
river fishing yesterday, az did many
another West Duluthian, but Mr.
Schuler performed an exciting feat
before a large number of spectators
A large pike struck Mr.. Schuler's
hook, and after something of a fight
was landed Just as the fish was
brought ashore, however, the line
broke, and the fish Topped back into
the water.
Mr.. Schuler dropped his pole and
jumped on the fish, graphing it in the
water with his hands and knees. The
fish knew no new wrestling tricks.
and with the death grip that Schuler
had, the denizen of lne deep could not
get away and was safely landed at
only the cost of the ducking that Mr.
Schuler got while in operation.
The pike was what a small boy
would call a whopper. 1t measured
271a inches and weighed eight pounds

Perfumed Butter.
ner farm

Catering for the tastes of the
wealthy appears to be no uncertain
way to fortune. On the tables of the
very rich, perfumed butter is the
latest extravaganza, says a writer in
TAT The dairies where this but
ter is made are as odorous as per
tuners laboratory, or a florists shop
The butter does not receive its subtle
odor from the admixture of essential
oils. In the first place, it is made and
put up in small pats like those in or
binary use. Each pat is wrapped in a
piece of fine muslin, and placed in a
bed of rose-1eaves which have been
specially prepared in an earthen jar.
On top another layer of the delicate,
fresh roseleaves is placed in the jar,
and is filed with solid block of ice.
Then the jar is placed in refriger-
ator, and allowed to remain there for
ten hours, when the pats are ready for
the customer. Simple as the idea is
it resulted in a fortune for its lucky
inventor.

quaint old stones and Venetian glass

strange stones are to be found.
The spinel, a pretty stone which

attractive in red and blue. Green
stone, the lucky" New Zealand stone,
which is kind of jade, is also often
made into necklets and the aquama-

Only matters of urgent import anee were considered, no routine busi- ness being taken up. All of the govern ment departments were closed to public business, but some of the cabinet off, cers were at their desks for a time att tending to important mail and tele- graphic advices.
 President Roosevelt appeared at his office for only brief time just long enough, in fact, to dispose of a few matters of irnporwtance which demand ed his attention. He did not attend church service, remaining during the morning hours with the members of his family. Intimate personal friends call ed at the White House in the morning hours, but for the most part no visitors were received.
 During the morning there was a gem eraI gift-giving at the White House. This exchange of presents was confined practically to members of the family. The presidents third son, Archie, as usual had a Christmas tree in his own room, and from that he distributed his gifts to the family and the household people. Mrs Cowles, the presidents sister, entertained the members of the family with gift-giying at her home. I During the afternoon the president
 and Mrs. Roosevelt went for a longH l ride A family dinner was given at the
