But Nfahoney was rot TO be Seld
now. He picked up the nearest imple-
ment to his hand--a heavy shovel---
and came at the other second time
The timekeeper could not pass him and
reach the street; and behind was the
shaft nearly thirty feet in depth
But Corny, from the crossing half
block away, saw the overseers mad
attack and realized the young mans
danger.
'Iang to the hookr he shrleked, and
his shriu voice rose above the noise
of the steam drills and the rattle of
the cable
AT the same instant he signaled the
engineer to draw up the hook.
Fortunately. the timekeeper was a
young man of quick brain as well as
action. When he felt the chain tighten
under his hand he realized what
Cornys words meant. and slipping his
foot into the hook he allowed himself
to be literally 'snatched" up out OF
the range of Mahoney's shovel
But the enraged boss flung the i'm
plement after him, and then began
throwing pieces Of rock at the swinging
figure in the air Another signal from
the watchful Corny. however, sent the
timekeeper sailing along under the troll
ley cables toward the pumping plat
form. and as he whirled above the
1ngboy's head he actually waved his
hand to him.
As for Corny himself. he almost
tainted from the fright of 1t all. A
boy who ate as little as he did wasn't
able TO stand many such shocks. He
| couldn't even run when Mahoney.
! scrambllng for the ditch, and still seek
ing to vent his fury on some one, ap-
preached him.
However, n couple Of brawny police
men. summoned by the excited shouts
of the spectators, quickly overpowered
the madman. and he was marched
away to the nearest station. That end
ed his career as overseer for Contra ctor

keeper learned how Corny had been
cheated out of half his pay every week
by the boss.
"Well Wen just make that up to
you" the timekeeper declared. "I've
been telling my uncle about you, and if
you want you can have a place at eight
dollars week down to the office. I've
told you l need an assistant, and you're
just the sort of fellow l want"

A Baltimore physician says that re.
Gently he boarded a Charles street car
that was sadly oyercrowded. He soon
observed big German sprawled over
an area sufficient to seat two persons
at least, while justin front Of him stood
poor, wan woman hanging to the
strap. Indignant at this exhibition of
selishness on the part Of the German.
the physician tapped him on the shoul-
der, saying:
"See here! Why don't you move a
little, so that this tired woman may
have a seatY'
For a moment the German looked
dazed. Then broad smile spread over
his countenance as he answered:

rhe Threatened Revival of orinoiine. -

Times are not dull; there is abund'
ance OF news, and yet there creeps-into
the papers n rumor of impending erin
oline. 1t comes from London. from
Paris, from Chicago from Plttsburg-
that Is, the rumor comes, but crlnoline
doesn't and won't. The evildoers who
invent fashions would be glad to dis
tribute any new fashion that made
women's clothes cost more and require
more material, and that made all
gowns now In use or in stock look
hopelessly out of date. Fashions are
changed in order to sell goods They
are changed just as much and just as
often as the traffic will bear. The
fashionmongers would doubtless be
glad to impose crinoline on the Chris
tian nations Che other nations don't
bother much with fashlons). but 1t
cannot be done. 1t could not exist
here. McAdoo would not tolerate it.
No fashion that will not do for New
York can pervade the United States;
so the country Is safe. - Harper's

Ostrich plumes rival floral creations.
AS many rs six bracelets are worn at
once.
Black velvet ribbon lends chic and
beauty.
Varying shades Of the lilac make
lovely hat.
Lorgnette chains retain their vogue
and variety.
With elbow sleeves so much in fash
ion bracelets of all sorts are now great
ly in vogue.
Black gowns are coming in fashion
again for street wear, and some most
attractive ones are being made up at
the present moment.
A gray leather belt with a handsome
gold buckle is very effective when worn
with dress of the same color. I'M
dressed leather is mostly used.
A charming example recently seen of
an informal hat for street or carriage
wear was pale-blue, satin-fnlshed
felt. 1t was trlcorn shape, and was
small and trim. The turned-up brim
was trimmed with many small ruches
of black satin ribbon, and the crown
of the hat was slightly trimmed with
twist of black velvet.
Velvet heavily embroidered, silk
heavily embroidered and cloth heavily
embroidered-all are in fashion-are
most effective and certainly give a
charming finish to what otherwise
might be a gown on the rather severe
order. A surprising amount of warmth
can be gained In these little packets
having an interlining, which will not In
the least interfere with their fitting
well.
Rather noticeable feature of many
of the more elaborate gowns for cool
days is to be seen in the elaborately
trimmed boleros that are worn with
the cloth or silk skirts. A silk or cloth
costume that would in itself not be
warm enough without some outside
wrap is made quite possible by ONE

A girl with all the novelty of college

When Empress Eugene visits Paris
she almost invariably occupies a suite
of rooms facing the Tuileries gardens
Much surprise has been expressed that
she should take up her abode in such
close proximity to the scene of her
triumph long ago, thereby invoking
memories which could not be other
than bitter. The subject was delicate
ly broached in her presence recently,
whereupon the old lady said: at is
perhaps the greatest happiness of my
life to look upon the garden where my
son played in his childhood-a sad
pleasure, If you will, but one would
not forego willingly"

A Now FIeld For Girls.


There is an opening for a capable
young woman in almost every country
town. This is in the combined profes.
sion of catering and fine cooking. Once
upon n time in our villages ladies per-
sonally superintended their family bak-
ing and were proud TO be known as
"famous cooks" That day Is gone. and
with it much of the delicious food that
few servants save chefs can attempt,
and, as well, much of the entertaining
that was wont to provide "groanlng
table" of good things for the obsolete
tea party, superseded by the wafer and
cup of bouillon of an afternoon tea.
Many women would be still more hos
pitable If, in their country homes, that
did not imply disorganization and dis
comfort extending from the kitchen on
throughout the house. A moderate
priced caterer, who could take entire
charge of the function would be boon
to them. Our villages are supplied
with bakeries-plenty of them. But
the product is usually poor. The best
cakes, pastry, and breads, furnished at
reasonable prices, will find a ready
market for them. while orders for sal
ads and ices might be taken, and if
well filled will be often and often re-
peated. These statements are not the
orizing; they are the result Of observa-
ton that has noted what women with
but slender equipment have achieved
and can guess what better preparation
might effect. The fact cannot be stated
too strongly that, outside the large
cities, there is an enormous unworked
field for such provision as is here in
dlcated. .-Harper's Bazaar.

WE'RE AFTER THE FACTORY
Acreage in Sight And Counter
Proposition is Now Up to Sugar
Observation-Disclosures Club.

The acreage was in sight last Fri
day when the first hitch occurred.
Contracts, duly signed. pledging $500
acres of beets have been already filed
with Supt. Shannon as trustee. Fully
five hundred acres additional were as
good as tied up and a long pull, a
strong pull and a pull altogether
would have landed tie remaining LOCO
acres to make up the 5000 acre guar
antee requisite to secure the beet sugar
factory.
On Friday Mr.. G. c. Parkinson,
president of beet sugar factory at
Lewiston, Utah, and who represents
the amalgamated sugar interests of
the United States, arrived. He was
met by Supt. P. J. Shannon and other
business men of Hamilton and agree
ably entertained while here. On Fri
day afternoon he was driven over the
Daily ranch and about the valley.
Mr.. Parkinson stated to a represen-
tative of The Western News that the
Bitter Root valley was manifestly one
of the most beautiful and productive
he had ever seen. He said that from
his observations and the data that had
been furnished him he was satisfied
that this would prove an ideal locality
for beet culture and that the interests
he represents would be very glad to
build a million dollar factory at Ham
i1ton if satisfactory arrangements can
be made.
Meanwhile, President McCrackin
had called special meeting of the
Business Mems Club to be held in the
directors room of the Ravalli County
bank at p. N. that evening to meet
with Mr.. Parkinson.
Mr.. Parkinson, upon invitation, ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable
length. He said that the Bitter Root

culture and complimented the business
