Cashier Bigelow, who used over
million of the funds of the Mil
waukee National bank in trying to
get control of the wheat market,
was given ten years, the limit, by
Judge Quarles of the United States
district court for the Milwaukee
district, and he is now working out
his sentence at the government
prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan
sas. The prison governing powers
will no doubt be more or less en-
tertained in occasionally listening
to Bigelow's exploits on that won
derful wheat deal that came so near
breaking Gates and some of his as
sociates. r.

The face of the American girl
looks much better to the average
man than does the face of the girl of
royal blood of other lands. This
fact becomes apparent in comparing
portraits of the girl descendants of
the leading thrones which have
been given prominent positions in
the columns of newspapers for sew
eral years past. Not one of them
has shown type of beauty that
equals that of the American types.
All of them portray countenances
that show painful lack OF intelli-
gence. It is no wonder, therefore,
that the young heir to the throne of
Germany, who recently was united
in marriage to Cecilia of another
royal household, so quickly fell in
love with an American beauty not
over two years ago, and that so
strong was the infatuation that Dad.
William was forced to use the
strongest kind of interference to
prevent the young man from we'd
ding the American girl. The in
ference seems to be that the inter-
marriage of these royal families is
resulting in a deterioration of the
race, not only of the women, but
also of the men, and that the best
blood after all is found in the ranks
Of the common people.

In laying the foundation for the
coming together of Russia and ia
pan whereby they can consider
Japan's terms of peace, President
Roosevelt has accomplished one of
the greatest feats of diplomacy in
history. The presidents move was
unique in that it secured a general
outline OF Japan's probable terms
and then suggesting that the two
countries treat direct with them
selves. We can hardly forget that
Russia was friend of the union
when that friendship was hardly
needed and yet we couldn't help
but sympathize with the little Japs
during the struggle they have so
gloriously won, and consequently
it was extremely proper that the
head of the American Republic
should be the medium through
which the peace negotiations should
have been arranged, and most clev-
erly has the president accomplished
the purpose.

Carpets That Are Popular

Among the luXuries that became pop
ular during the last few years are the
hand tufted whole carpets which are
used for floor coverings in many houses.
In one style they are German carpets.
and while number of the sizes can be
found ready made in a square, others
fitting angles and peculiarly shaped
rooms are made to order and frequent
ly agree with the decorations of the
rooms. These Berlin carpets are won
derfully heavy, delightfully."- soft to the
foot, and relatively indestructible, if
the energetic moth is not allowed to
get in its deadly work. They come in
plain colors, the deep tones as rule
are to be used in diningrooms, halls,
and libraries and with a self-toned
border plain or in any desired design.
There are beautiful greens, rich reds,
blues, ETC., with border in two or more
other tones
1t takes perhaps three months to
weave one of the carpets, and it's great
beauty is it's smooth surface, plain CEN
ter, and border all in one piece and
with no disfguring seams. Some of the
carpets are nearly an inch thick There
are a number of different qualities,
ranging in price from SIS to $95 or $40
square yard. Stock sizes of the whole
carpets range from 9x12 up to 24x35.
When carpet is ordered color sketch
is made by an artist, who carries out
in the border the idea of decorations
of the woodwork of the room. Oc-
casionally carpet will have delicate
self-tone, all over design running
through the center. French designs
of flowers are sometimes brought out
upon delicate grounds in these German
carpets.
But for French drawing rooms,
boudoirs, etc, there are real French
weaves in the whole carpets, these in
the Aubusson-a carpet without pile
and resembling the French wall tapes
tries-and in the Savonerie, which has
a heavy pile. These have the beautiful
French design in flowers and festoons
and tapestry effects, suitable for use
with the period decorating of the rooms
in which they are to be placed. Entire
floor coverings are woven to fit special
rooms in Indian and Persian rugs

Missouri Girls to Carry Pistols

A number of young ladies' of Joplin
are forming themselves into very
unique club, the purpose of which will
be to protect themselves from mashers,
with which the town is overrun. The
club will not have flowery name and
set of beautifully worded bylaws.
The girls, profting by experiences
they or their friends have had recently,
are intending to carry pistols when
forced to be out at night unattended,
and in the future when some fair one
has a hand showed deeply into her coat
pocket or beneath her jacket she may
be clasping the handle of a weapon.
which may become dangerous in the
hands of one SO strongly determined
to learn how to use it as the girl who
enters the new club.
The club is composed of girls who are
employed in stores, business and tele-
phone offices, and others who are forced
to be out late at night.

JAPANESE LEATHER
Excellent Demand for the Foreign
Product

From the Boston Globe.
Japanese leather has become a fac
in the Boston leather market since the
war in the east opened, and some re-
markable specimens of fancy skins
the like of which were never seen In
this city before have been imported
AS high as $45 apiece is asked for
some of the skins. These are used foi
art decorative purposes. Skins which
sell at from 81 to so a foot or $40 or 81.
apiece, are distributed among New
England makers of fancy shoes, and
are made up into holiday footwear.
Boston leather men who handle these
Japanese skins say that their source
is mystery. They buy them from
middlemen who never tell where such
wonderful examples of workmanship
come from.
Expert New England tanners admit
that with all their skill they cannot
duplicate the product OF the cunning
Japanese.
Many of these fine skins are carved
i'll grotesque designs. Dragons and de-
mons with eyes of inlaid colored leath-
er, butterflies and birds, and cherry
blossoms are reproduced in the pic
turesque Japanese style.
One odd skin in store in the leath-
er district bears no less than twenty
eight distinct colored pictures of Japa-
nese life, each picture being about the
size of a cabinet photograph.
Another skin is elegantly embroid-
e; ed with silk Still another is colored
a wonderful bronze. They sell at
from s25 to $45 apiece. They are used
for decorations, for hangers upon walls
of dens or as scarfs for smoking ta-
bies.
New England tanners and shoemen
have learned that the Japs knew how
t. make the popular patent, or enamel
fashion in this country, and that they
used to obtain the shiny surfaces with
a sap from one of their native trees
Some New England tanners call their
patent leather japanned leather.
The wonderful carving on the Japa-
Eese ShlllS Is uoIle ny Hdllu, IL ilaS poSA
learned, and many days of patient toll
must have been put into some of the
designs, so perfect are their details.
Indeed, tanners credit the, Japs with
as much patience and perseverance in
leather making as they do the Turks
in rugmaking.
But the processes of the Japs for in
laying leather and joining skins to-
IN the surface are a puzzle to Ameri-
AN leather men, as are also Japanese
processes. 1t is generally be-
ieved that each Japanese leather
" orker has his own secret processes,
and carefully guards them.

Mozart as a Dramatic Composer

Mozart's reputation as a dramatic
composer must chiefly rest upon his
two great operas, lie Nozze di Figaro"
and Don Giovanni" even though Bee
thoven hailed Die Zauberhote" as
the first flower of true German opera;
while Weber says that "in Die Ent-
fuhrung' Mozart has reached the full
and that his further progress vas only
in knowledge of the world" But
charming as his romantic opera is, It
cannot be compared with his later
works as an example of his mature
dramatic power. 1t was written when
he was about twenty-five; lie Nozze'
IN: 1856, when he was thirty; Don Gio-
Vanni," the next year; and four years
later he was hastily thrown into his
pauper's grave the exact locality OF
which has never been ascertained. In
these last mentioned operas, the sub.
Jects of which were chosen by himself,
he at last not only found themes that
gave full scope to his genius, but liz
bretti that We're good stage plays. It
is strange how seldom composers rea-
lie the fact that. however good their
music may be, 1t depends finally upon
the libretto whether an opera will keep
the stage or not. Mozart had already
suffered at the hands Of his poets,
but now he found in the Abbate De
Ponte sympathetic collaboration and
anxiously superintendent the produe-
ton OF the text himself. To Da Ponte

Your hopes for the opera are richly
fulfilled I'm Don Juan but the work IS

being followed" Goethe had himself
desired to see his Faust treated as
an opera by extraordinarily Re-
view.
