outfit from cheap materials in highly
satisfactory way. In winter thick
stuffs must be high-priced to be pre-
sentable, but summer materials of low
price are often extremely pretty. We
have in mind some pretty chambrays
and cotton voiles in the way of suits
that are as pretty as need be. They
cost but few cents yard, it takes
but a few yards to make them: and
there for trif1e one gets ones gowns.
Employ q dressmaker at home-if you
can't make them yourselves and in a
trice you will have frocks of good
style. Wear shoes, belts and stocks of
late mode, wear one of the trim small
turbans above eulogized, and you will
be what the summer girl should be
above all else-dainty and fresh.
Many of the wash shi-t-waist suits
come in three pieces; the shirt-waist
suit itself and q bit of summer coat,
oftenest a bolero, with wide elbow
sleeves or close-ftting ones.
For dressier wear, silk is in favor, a
little silk bolero suit and variety of
waists would provide madam for al
most any occasion the season might
present. Two hats are enough: the
small one for tailor suits, the larger,
moro elaborate for afternoon and eye-

IN THE FORESTRY BUILDING.

I'D into 10000 feet of timber, but scores
of logs which, if manufactured into lum-
Der, would stock a large lumber yard and
build scores of houses from the cellar to
the top of the two-story gable. And SO
the Forestry building was the one
building we wanted to see.
Our first glimpse of the building was
gained as we came up through the
charming bit of natural park which adj
joins the building on one side and which
is one Of the attractive features of the
fair grounds Through the vista OF
large trees there doomed before me the
biggest log house / have ever seen, or

logs are four or five feet in diameter

eye under such conditions-and then
I step up beside one of them and find
that it is considerably above my head.

Since the worlds fair test n Chi

an electric locomotive back, the devel-
opment of the latter has steadily pro-
crossed until it has reached stage
where the electric locomotive assumes
superiority. 1t has been SO greatly in

recent tests prove it to be more than
able to hold its own. Between spe.

well ahead in all of the trial runs. In

BRIDE LEFT AS A LEGACY.
Aged Couple Impose Strange Trust on
Beneficiary, But Young Won,-
an Rejects Him.

London-When Farmer John. Wren
lay dying at Coolcar, County Longford,
he, bequeathed his comfortable farm in
an unusual manner. He was childless,
and he willed that on his widows death
the farm should go to Patrick Mac
Carthy, under the condition Che wrote)
that within one year after my death he
contract marriage, and come to live in
my house at Coolcar, with Rose Anne
Reilly, daughter of Philip Reilly, of
Toneygarden.
Wren and his wife died within short
while of each other last year, and
Patrick MacCarthy proceeded to carry
out the trust reposed in him. There
were difficulties in the way, for Miss
Reilly had gone to America.
Three times Patrick MacCarthy voy-
aged across the Atlantic to ask her to
marry him and so fulfill the terms of
their benefactor's will But each time
Miss Reilly declined, and Patrick had
finally to return to the home at Coolcar
without wife
The question of the ownership of the
farm now arose, as old Wren laid It
down that it should go to Miss Reilly's
brother if the marriage did not take
place. The Irish master of the rolls,
however, has laid it down that, as
Patrick MacCarthy did all in his power
to fulfill the conditions of the will by
going to America after the bride named
for him, he was not to blame because the
marriage did not take place.
The interesting legal decision then is
that the farm remains the property OF
MacCarthy, and he can nov install
bride of his own choice in Coolcar.

bit of rest is so grateful to the truly
energetic, the woman that works with
her might instead of potters. And
when woman rests, has time to think,
she wants to do it in a garment that
will not distract from the refreshing
surcease of toll. Wherefore, we have
lounging robes, tea-jacket, kimonas-
all that class of bedroom negllgee.
And everything should correspond.
slippers be of the easiest and lightest,
corsets removed, petticoats unhamper-
ing, the outer dress luXuriously loose.
One may take the social cup with
boudoir friends attired in short silk
petticoat and tea-sack. Such a petit
coat is short and shows the gay, CO.
quettish slipper plainly, fits nicely
about the hips, is very frilly and vol
luminous at the bottom. Sacks are of a
variety, and all charming when not
lunchy in the back. AS a rule they
are short and have a girlish appear
ance. and as a rule the sack matches
the skirt. If the petticoat is of silk, a
sack like it is very pretty, although
OuG VI WILLIE net VI u0pdICnt LID
terial also is very pretty. Often with
the lingerie waist lingerie petticoat
is worn, and this is daintier fashion.
The sack may either sport yoke or
have trimming to stimulate one.
The long negligee gown may be on
the Empire order or the Vatican
style. And now the Japanese kimona
slowly vanishes from favor, being SUI
persedGd by Chinese coat, a queer,
shapeless thing that is neither long nor
short. But it is made of beautiful silk,
and richly embroidered. This coat is
thick, and warm enough to be worn in
the winter, as well as on cool sum-
Mer day
The present, liking for elbow sleeves
and square neck comes in well for the
negligee, as very simple ones having
these features possess a certain amount

ming a burglary but when you both
went to the lodge one night, and stayed
till near morning, and dad came home
with red Turkish fez. and told ma that
you and he had Joined the shrine, which
was the highest degree in Masonry, and
you and he were mobiles, and all that rot,
was on to you bigger than house, and
you couldn't fool me when you and dad
winked at each otner, and talked about
crossing the hot sands of the desert.
Well, dad brought his red fez along,
cause l think he expected he would
meet shriners all over the world, that he
could borrow money of. When we
struck Constantinople, and dad saw that
every last one of the Turks wore red
fez he felt as though he had got among
shriners, and he got his fez out of his
trunk, and he wears it all the time.
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks
go to the low streets, about as wide as
a street car. where Turks are selling
things, with dad wearing his fez, and
he begins to make motions and give
grand hailing signs of distress, and the
Turks look at him as though he had
robbed bank, and they charge enor-
nous prices for everything, ard dad
pays with a smile, thinking his brother
MaSons are fairly giving things away.
He looks upon all men who wear the fez
as his brothers, and they look at him as
though he was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
on talking to the women here without
an introduction, and a woman in Turkey
had rather die than have a Christian
dog look at her. Dad was buying some
wormy figs of a merchant, who was
seated on the floor of his shop, and CIV
ing him signs, when curtain behind the
Turk was pulled one side, and woman
with beautiful eyes, and her face COW
cred with veil, came out with a cup of
coffee for the Turk. Dad shook hands
with her, and said: Your husband and
belong to the same LODGE and he was
going to go inside and visit the family.
when the woman drew a small dagger
out of the folds of her dress, and the
Turk drew one of these scimeters, and it
looked for a moment as though / was
going to be half orphan, particularly
when dad put his hand on her shoulder
and petted it, and smiled one of those
masher smiles which he uses at home,
and said: My good woman, you must
not get in the habit of jabbing your hus-
bands friends with this crooked cutlery,
though to be killed by so handsome a
woman would indeed be sweet death, =
but the bluff did not go, and the woman
disappeared behind the curtain, and dad
had the frantic husband to deal with.
/ have never seen human being look
as murderous as that Turk did as he
drew his thumb across the blade of his
knife. drew up his lip and snarled like q
dog that has been bereaved of promis-
ing bone by a brother dog that was
larger. The Turk looked through his
teeth, and his eyes seemed to act like
small arc lights. that were to show him
where to cut dad, and dad began to turn
pale, and looked scared

touched off bomb, there could have

man could. and became faint, and fell
over into the arms of general who sat

Constantinople, gurkey.-My Dear
Old "Shriner"-We got out of Russia
just in time to keep from being arrested
or blown up with a bomb. Dad wanted
to go to Moscow, because he saw pic
ture once of Moscow being destroyed ey
fire by Napoleon, or somebody, and he
wanted to see if they had ever built the
town up again, but l felt as though
something serious was going to happen
in that country if we didn't look out,
and SO Ipersuaded dad to go to Turkey,
and the day we started for Constantine
pie we got the news that the Nihilists
had thrown bomb under the carriage
of the Grand Duke Sergius, and blew
him and the carriage into small pieces
not bigger than slice OF summer sau-
sage, and they had to sweep his remains
up in a dustpan and bury them in two
quart fruit jar. Wouldn't that jar you?
When dad heard about that you
couldn't have kept him in Russia on a
bet, and so we let the authorities have

INVENTS NEW CAR FENDER
Los Angeles Attorney Has a Device
Which He Says Will Reduce
Number of Accidents

F. c. Austin, an attorney of Los
Angeles, has a model of new safety
car fender" which consists of a frame
work of Steel combining the necessary
lightness and rigidity, scoop shaped
and provided with woven wire cush-
ion at the back.
This is attached to the forward truck
in such a manner that it follows the
track at all times, even on the sharp
est curves. Mr.. Austin says:
MY fender does not extend out in
front of the car thus marring it's
symmetry and making it an unsightly
object, as many of the so-called fend-
ers do, but is wholly under the car
and out Of the way at all times. When
not in action the fender is held up from
the track by a locking device, but may
be instantly released by pressing a
lever which is placed Immediately in
front of the right foot of the motor
man, thus bringing the front, which
is provided with small rubber rollers
down on the rails in such manner as
to scoop up any object that may be
on the track, and at the same time
automatically lock itself in this posi-.
ton. When the danger is passed the
fender is brought back into it's normal
position by merely pressing the lever
again. So simple is this device of
operation that as a precaution it can
be placed in position by the motorman
when crossing a crowded street, or
any place where there is any likeli-
hood of an accident. 1 have shown my
invention to the managers Of the street
car companies of this city, and they
pronounce it the most feasible of any
they have yet seen"

WOULD FORCE BOARD
TO GRANT LICENSE
j. H. BEsTMANN's PERSEVERANCE
MAY WIN
Denied Permit by Commission, He
Files Another Petition and Inti-
mates That Third, Fourth and Fifth
Documents Are Likely to Follow

If persistence can win a cause J. H.
Bestmann will have his wholesale
liquor store at 115S Central aveune.
In spite of the fact that the police
commission Tuesday morning denied
him a license; in spite of the fact that
a large number of the residents and
property owners of the neighborhood
are up in arms against his invasion of
their residence district with a liquor
store; in spite of the fact that his
application has endangered the business
oe another person; in spite of the fact
that the hand of fate and the police
commission are against him, Mr.. Best
mann filed a second petition late yes
terday afternoon and the entire propo-
sition will have to be fought out again
along the same lines.
And this is not all. If Bestmanns S
second application for a license is de-
MED, he has caused it to be made
known that a third attempt may be
more successful, or If not a third, a
fourth or possibly a fifth. It seems
to be Bestmanns intention to keep up
a constant hammering until in self
defense the police commission cries
enough! Take your license and bother
us no more"
In this second application, however,
friends of A. Niemeyer believe they see
dog-in-the-manger" attitude. At
It's meeting Tuesday morning the
police commission came near revoking
Niemeyer's wholesale liquor license, be-
cause ne conducts his business on the
corner of Eleventh and Central avenue
and the protests of the property owners
virtually demanded that no liquor bust
ness be allowed in that part of the
city. A compromise was reached when
Niemeyer'S case was laid over for one
week and he was told to produce evil
dence at the next meeting showing why
his license should not be revoked.
The contention is made by Niemeyers
friends that unless this license is re-
voked Bestmann will. maintain that he
has as much right in that locality as
has Niemeyer, and in this contention
he is almost certain of the support of
Mayor McAleer as that official stated
yesterday that If one had a right there
the other had an equal right. Mr..
McAleer, however, says he is in favor
of forcing the entire liquor business
out of that neighbOrhoOd.
