SETON'S
BOOK OF FABLES

That famous teller Of animal stories,
Ernest Thompson Seton, who for a long
time signed himself Ernest Seton
Thompson, has written a new book
called 'Woodmyth and Fable" tits In
nrose and verse, a little book, very
prettily illustrated and with every page
decorated. The designs for the cover,
title page and general makeup were
done by Grace Gallatin Seton, and they
are a great addition to the attractive
ness of the artistic volume
The stories are all very short and
nearly all of them have a moral at
tached. One of these Is the tale OF a
land crab, who declared that nothing
could ever turn him one hairs breadth
from his purpose. He set out for the
sea, but during the winter long line
of telegraph poles had been set up in
the track he was wont to travel. He
would not vary from his line, as he had
firmly determined. So up one side of
each pole and down the other he labor :
ed till at last he was found dead with
fatigue. If he had varied six inches

his goal in half days easy travel. The
moral given is: "A good substitute for
wisdom has not yet been discovered. ;"
These stories are a gathering from
various sources. Some Of them are In
dian legends and some, no doubt, are

one of the Indian legends is that ac-

Dear Sir: Would you like to hear
of a 20-year paint.
Mr.. James O'Nell's house, Hender-
SOD, N. c., was painted 20 years ago
with Devoe lead and zinc, and never
painted again till last year it then
looked better than common paint il
half that time.
The reason is D9voe is all paint
and true paint; while the common
paints are part true and part false.
Don't pay to monkey with paint.
And Devoe costs less than any OF
Fem not by the gallon of course
by the house and year. That's how
to reckon it. Go by the name.
Yours truly

playing in the club, confirmed the
new regulations almost unanimously,
and the amended rule prohibiting all
except four or Ave ordinary card
games. such as bridge, whist, bezique
and piquet will, it is considered, put
stop to the gambling here, which
was causing a good deal of unpleasant
talk in clubland last summer.
A member of the club lost $4,000
one day last July at ecarte; the club
was kept open until unconscionable
hours in the morning; there were ru.
mors of remonstrances from high
quarters. and toward the end of last
season it became evident that some
thing would have to be done.
Action, however, was obviously diff
fcult in view of the fact that many
men. especially bachelors, regard
their club as their own house. and
even now when club life is becoming
less general among men this idea can
rot be lightly disregarded.
There is no doubt but that a similar
rule will shortly be adopted in many
first-class clubs, and that the male
gambling world of London will soon
he concentrated in certain clubs which
VIGOROUSLY now live by encouraging
il, and to which the attentions of
Scotland Yard will then be more par
ticularly directed.

Madasasear's Misfortune in Minino.

There is reason to believe that the
hopes of gaining great wealth in min
ing in this country, awakened in 1895
when the LyOns-Madagascar Syndi-
cate of France set the ball rolling are
dying out. In 1904 this syndicate earn
ed a profit of only $1,000 on a capital
of 1920 invested in gold mines. It's
operations proved apparently that it
would be better policy for the gov
eminent of Madagascar to discourage
prospecting for gold and thus save
the reputation Of the country from
contamination by wild stock specula,
ton. 1t seems now that prospecting for
coal has been equally successful. At
the opening of the present year nine
iron concessions, comprising a total
o. $3.50 hectares. were granted, prin-
cipally to Europeans. Under the law
o. July 20. 1897, natives are privileg-
ed to prospect for and mine any min
eral other than gold. Foreign capital
is looking for large return, and as
mining in Madagascar is still in its in
fancy, it requires the encouragement
of much missionary work and the un-
covering of rich mineral deposits to
again interest either the French or
English investor.

Fiqht AGAINST Senator Smoot.

pose the continuance in the United

of Utah, was held here yesterday.
Women from all sections of the coun-
try were present. 1t was announced
that petition will be presented to
the senate asking for the exclusion
Of Mr.. Smoot on the ground that "he
is member of hierarchy whose pres
ident and majority of the members
practice and teach polygamy"
The memorial will state that "Mr.
Smoot has never raised his voice
against these doctrines, and the Nor.
mon hierarchy has broken it's cove
Eants which it gave to the United
States when statehood was granted"
The petition has been signed by
nearly million women and will be
presented by senator from each
state.

Wedding Rites Cut Short.

Among the various changes which
have SO completely altered the Gus
toms and conventions of English So
ciety during the last Is years there
is nothing more marked than the diff
ference in the nature of the festivi-
ties and fOrmalities attendant on we'd
dings, says the London Express.
RELOCATED to the realms of dust and
oblivion is the old-time wedding
breakfast, with which our mothers en-
tered upon their welded life, dreaded
alike by parents on account of it's en-
pense and by guests for it's ponder
Gus solemnity and wearisOme dull
ness.
No longer does the blushing and ner-
vous bride struggle to dissect an iced
monstrOsity decorated with silver
flowers and cupids; no longer does
the still more nervous bridegroom
stand first on one foot and then on
the other, while he feebly tortures his
brain and his hearers by endeavOring
to reply in suitable terms to the
pompous toast proposed by recently
acquired father-in-law.
The modern wedding is a ceremony
of different character. The recep-
ton at which 400 guests are invited
10 meet the bride in a room originally
constructed to hold 100 has taken the
place of the breakfast, and the whole
affair is a merely hurried squash in
which the guests struggle and wrig'
gle up crOwdeded staircase, murmur
a conventional greeting to the tired
bride and after squirming through an
other room where the wedding pres
ents are displayed and partaking of
mild refreshments, find themselves
flee to rush off to two other receptions
the same afternoon.
The whole tendency of the present
Gay is to cram as many things into
as short a space of time as possible.
People have no time to devote to long
and solemn functions. There is an in
creasing tendency to do away even
with the reception, and it is becom-
ing more and more common to read
notices of weddings at wnlch the
guests are present only at the church
or the ceremony takes place with on
ly the immediate relatives OF the con-
tracing parties being present.
The wedding dress Is frequently
dispensed with, the travelling dress
Icing substituted for it. Bridesmaids
are nOneXistent and in many cases the
registrars Office is the scene OF the
ceremony.
People take sufficient trouble 10
send as wedding gifts something tnat
may be of real use or they inquire De
fOrehand as to what is really WANT

MRS. ROGERS
MUST HANG
VERMONT WOMAN WHO KILLED
HER HUSBAND TO DIE ON
THE SCAFFOLO.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The supreme
court of the United States today af-
ttrmed the decision Of the United
States district court of Vermont in the
case of Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who
is under sentence of death in Vermont
for the murder of her husband. The
effect of the decision will be to again
place the responsibility of dealing
authorities and in the meantime Meth
Ell the governor nor the state court
takes action in Mr.. Rogers behalf, ier
execution must occur on the day set
which is December 8, next.
The court held in effect. that it was
without jurisdiction in all the points
raised.
In his opinion Justice DAILY laid no
stress upon purely legal grounds. Re-
citing the proceedings in the case he
took up the various contentious made
in turn to be in effective. On the point
solitary confinement for more than
three months, he said the record does
not show that she is SO held, though
admittedly held in close confinement.
The course was, he said, within the
rights of the state and could not be
used as ground for Interference by the
federal court. He also said that the
state supreme court could not be re-
quired to fix time for execution. that
whether the state supreme court
should sit in Bennington county is a
matter of state practice only and also
that there is no merit in the conten-
ton that fixing a date for execution
when granting a reprieve is viola.
ton of the federal statutes.
The opinion in the case concluded
with an order that mandate issue at
once. This will obviate the raising of
the question of possible postponement
of the day of execution.
The case came to the supreme court
on an appeal from the refusal of the
United States district court of Vermont
to grant to Mrs. Rogers a writ of ha-
beas corpus after the supreme court
of the state had refused her a new
trial. The charge against Mrs. Rog-
ers is that of numbering her husband
by administering chloroform at Ben
nington, VT. in 1903. She was tried
in December. 1903. and the trial result
Ell in sentence of death by hanging.
The case has attracted much attention
on account of the defendants sex and
because of the many narrow escapes
she has had from paying the extreme
penalty for her crime. Her execution
was first fixed for February 3. 1905,
but the governor of the state granted
reprieve on February /, until June
=. When it seemed that she must
eventually be hanged on the day fixed,
the governor again on June l, came to
the wOman's rescue moving the date
up to June %. The last reprieve was
granted June % to permit an investi-
cation by the federal courts.
Mrs. Rogers is now confined in the
Vermont state penitentiary.

presenting people who are going to

Formerly it was considered neces-
sary for girl to enter on her mar
ried life with a supply of clothing
which was calculated to last her for
five years at least, much of which,
owing to the changes of fashion, would
in all probability never be worn at all
in it's original form. Materials, too,
in those days. were made of more last.
ing quality than they are now, and
there are few brides of today who
will be able to show their grand
children garments which they have
worn since the day of their wedding.
