A New version Of uand MAILER.

For the benefit oil those who have
adopted the new tangled way of riding.
and by way suggesting what might
happen, we publish the following from
the Freewater Times:
Maud Muller on a summers day
mounted a horse in the new tangled
way. 1t took her some time but she
finally 4 cided to ride astride with her
skirts divided. The horse was young
he SHE'D and ran. and poor Maud
blushed at every man. AT last paper
sailing high caused Maud's horse to
jump and shy. All unexpected it came
to Maud and she knew then it was all a
fraud, for she found herself with di-
vided skirt lying gasping and bruised
in the dusty dirt. But her skirt had
caught on the pommel there. resulting
in long and ragged tear. With both
her hands she grasped the edges and
made a rush for the roadside hedges.
The Judge as he saw her, tall and slim,
says. she's tired of trying to be a him.

A Fish Story From PennsyIvonia.

Alonzo Murphy, of Pochuek, Pa.
captured swapping turtle recently
which his wife made into soup. The
family cat was given a portion of the
carcass and a number OF eggs, which
were found in the reptile.
This morning the cat died While
Mr.. Murphy was burying the animal
the fur at the stomach parted and
eleven small turtles emerged one after
the other.
Mr. Murphys theory is that the cat
had swallowed the turtle eggs whole
and being unable to digest them on
account of the shells, the stomach of
the cat acted as an incubator and
hatched the eggs.
Then the young turtles clawed and
bit their way to freedom killing the
eat.

Incle sam,s Now Farms.

Director Charles D. Wolcott. of the
United States Geological Survey, states
that the government owns about 600.
100000 acres of vacant land. OF this
land the greater part is arid About
8, 800 600 acres is irrigated. There is
water available for many more. Most
OF this land already irrigated is in
Colorado and California. Much of the
land will cost $25 to $50 per acre when
provided with water. 1t is estimated
that if $500, 10000 was expended dur
ing the newt forty years in a large and
consistent scheme of irrigation. the
lands improved would be worth, by the
end of that period, not less than s., 2,0O0,-
O00,000 Uncle Sam can still provide
us all a farm, but it will be a more eX-
pensive one than those of the free
hon estcads of 100 years ago. But the
new farms are.insured against drouth

THE MAYOR ENDORSES III.
Society Ladies Vote The EncubatOrs
the Feature OF The Fair.


the Feature of The Fair.
Editor Glasman the able and popu-
lar mayor Of Ogden, Utah. is publisher
of two influential and widely cireu-
lated daily newspapers. As the re-
suit of voting contest in those jour
nails l6 beautiful young society ladies
of Utah were escorted to the Lewis aud
Clark Exposition as guests of the en-
terprising newspapers mentioned.
This cotene of jollity. wit and vivacity
visited all the attractions OF the Fair
and as a consensus OF opinion wrote the
following unanimous verdict.
"Have you seen the incubator
babies? They are the feature par eX-
cellence Of the greatLewis and Clark
Fair Every other attraction pales
in significance before this life saving,
humanitarian, scientific curio, the in
fant incubators. If you miss seeing the
tiny mites of humanity in their castles
you miss one of the most instructive
and interesting sights.
The incubators are costly housed in "a
specially constructed building and
everything pertaining thereto is admi-
rably and scientifically arranged under
the supervision of Doctors Couney and
Schenkein who had charge of the
world renowned Victorian era eXhibi-
tion in Earl's Court, London; the Trans
Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, and
the Pan American Exposition at Buf-
falo. The incubators are a scientific
marvel devoid OF any suspicion of the
catch penny fake, They are endorsed
by the entire medical fraternity whose
fostering care alone makes this grand
and noble institution possible The
infant inhabitants of the incubators
are subjects OF the medical fraternity.
They are prematurely born brought by
the doctors who know that life in the
tiny mites of humanity can be pre-
served in no other way. These infants
are of high and low degree. Neither
race nor color are considered. Human
ity is the keynote. Trained nurses,
skilled physicians and careful atten-
dants are always in evidence. Is it a
matter then for surprise that every
BODY wants to see the most wonderful
achievement of moderd science and
medical skill, the Infant Incubators?'

The majority of this seasons coats
and Jackets are made to set closely to
the figure at the back. A side piece is
invariably introduced each side, and
most garments of this description have
seam down the center of back. Leg
of mutton sleeves are in high favor, and
many of the newest designs in tweed
coats have the collars and cuffs trim
med with soft velvet.
The front of a coat can either be
fastened with mantle hooks and eyes
or fly fronted like covert coat and
buttons sewed on as ornaments only.
Two breast plaits are to be taken up
each side, but if preferred the fronts
may be left loose. The back seam is
left open from the waist downward in
order to give spring to the garment
There is a sleeve shaped out all in one;
a plat has to be taken up at the cuff
end; the gauntlet cuff has to be stiffen-
ed with leno.
A popular skirt is cut in five pieces.
All the fullness has to be taken to the
back and arranged into an inverted
plait. A pocket can be sewed in be-
meath the back fastening. This shape
can be made with or without founda-
ton, according to the substance of the
material. The seams might be covered
with a fancy edging of braid or they
might be strapped or piped with some
bright color. Four and a half yards of
ordinary double width material would
be sufficient for a full size skirt, four
yards of tweed or box cloth for the coat.
