A story Is going the rounds regarding
one of the shooters who went from this

ter Inn near Browntown, Washlngton's

1t seems that he had INDUCED n little
too freely after the shoot and n friend of
his took him to his house instead of tax
ing him to his w home. but after get
ting him there he cou Id not get him to
go to bed. So he made a bed for him on
the dining room floor with Il buffalo robe
and several blankets. After which the
friend retired. The next morning the
friend went down to the dining loom to
see how the'party was getting along and
to his surprise all he could find of the
man he put to bed, was q set If false teeth,
n collar INT necktie, n pair of shoes and a
coat and hat. One OF the dining room
windows looked as if a cyclone had
struck itsas the sash and glass was gone
andft looked as IL he had jumped through
it and gone back to get the bull that he
had been shooting for.
The friend gathered up the relics, took
them down to the mans home in this
borough, where he found him in bed. 1t
is thought by a number OF the mans

SHODDY IN A FABRIC.
How Imposition in q Piece of Sup
poeedly Good Cloth May
Be Detected.

Worstcd cloths are less often aGul-
tefated than woollens and are mor
easily detected. A cotton worsted is a
stands out with prominence, says
the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter. But often a cotton thread is
twisted with u worsted thread, and to
determine its presence 1t is only neces-
sary to take the twist out of the thread
and then examine its component parts.
Cotton, having a long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be spun
into worsted yarn. This Is done to
cheaper the cost OF production. Cotton
is carded and spun with wool and shod-
Gy. not so much TO cheaper the yarn.
for cotton is generally as expensive as
some shoddies, but is introduced TO give
strength or spinning qualities to the
stock. In many cases the shod6y Is OF
such short staple that it would not
stand the drawing in spinning. and as
1t would make the cost OF the yarn too
high it put in enough wool to give that
lacking strength, cotton is put in for
this purpose.
The percentage of cotton in a fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take a small piece of cloth and weigh
1t. Now boil it for five minutes in a
five per cent. solution OF caustic soda.
Take out what is left and. if any, it is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
solved. The percentage of shoddy can
not be determined except by expert
ence.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in it is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth made
of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar TO wool.
