suit of the earthquake at the Hill sta
ton of Dharmsala, according to the
latest information from that place.
The reports add it is impossible to
rescue the entombed men.
The greatest difficulty is experienced
in procuring news from DharmsaIa.
The telegraph staff at the station there
was wiped out and a temporary office
has been opened 13 miles from the
town, but the facilities are most
scanty.
The Kangra valley is believed to
have been devastated and it is re-

to ruins. No confirmation of the re-
port is obtainable as the telegraph
station at Kandra is wrecked.

many Of the models have buckles or
slides at back as well as front. The
art nouveau designs in shaded Colds
and imitation precious stones are Of
ten beautiful, and remarkable color
schemes are achieved in this metal
work combined with leather and silk.
The embroidered linen belts were
with us last year, but they were ex-
periments then, and 1t was left for
this season to develop the possibili-
ties in the idea. The craze for
broderie anglaise, or eyelet embroid-
cry, is evident here, as elsewhere, and
there are open work linen belts Of
all kinds, from those merely sprinkled
with embroidered eyelets to others
with elaborate embroidery designs.
Soft ribbons come in a bewildertng
range Of colors and shades, and even
in the same new changeable effects
that are so stunning in silk, and they
are inexpensive enough to be used
freely as regards girdles. Keep away
from the very high girdles-anything
more than five inches deep at its
widest part.

fact that he is chairman Of the COM

formed the habit Of taking long walks
before breakfast" said Branch to a
group of friends. zone morning I hap

near which the school was located

whose tale Of hard luck would have

HUGE GAME PRESERVE.
Texans Plan to Establish Hunters
Paradise In Indian Territory.

The request Of Jack Gordon Of Par
Is. Texas. for congressional consent to
his purchase Of 100000 acres OF nom
mineral and nonagricultural land from
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
contemplates the establishment OF one
Of the largest game parks In the west
says the Hugo Il. T.) correspondent
of the Kansas City Star The land lies
in that portion of the Choctaw nation
traversed by the Kiamitia mountains
and the many beautiful streams that
make this the most delightful and pic
turesque region Of Indian Territory.
The country is so rugged as to be al
most inaccessible by wagon. 2 1t Is
thinly inhabited and still the home Of
deer, bear, panther, turkey, wildcat and
fox. The streams. all clear and swift,
are filled with small and large mouth
bass, jack salmon, crapple and every
variety Of perch known in the south.
Extensive pine forests cover the hills
and valleys. Sportsmen declare that
the Kiamitia country Is one Of the few
primitive hunting grounds in the Unit
ed States.
Gordon expects to organize club of
500 members who will be owners of
the land. A woven wire, game proof
fence twelve miles square. or forty
eight miles In length, will inclose the
park, in which will be another In
closure of $40 acres, where a large
clubhouse, two stories high, Of rough
native pine and stone, will be built.
This. clubhouse will be ten miles from
the Arkansas and Choctaw railroad
Members will be permitted to build
their own lodges on lots set aside for
this purpose.
Gordon has fished and hunted In the
Kaimitia country for twenty years
and declares that he never found a
more healthful place elsewhere In the
United States or Canada. Sportsmen
from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Tex
as and Indian Territory go regularly
each season to the Kiamitia noun
tains and always make big kills OF
game. Should Gordon succeed In his
plans he will stock the park with elk
and pheasants in addition to the ma
tive game.

Protecting q Bride and Groom.


A bride and groom had been much
troubled by the stares Of people at ho-
tells wherever they went. So when
they arrived at the next hotel the
groom called the colored head-wai-
ter.
"Now, George" he said, I'VE have
been bothered to death by people star
ing at US because we are just mar
ried. We want to be free from that
sort Of thing here. Now, here's two
dollars, and remember I trust you not
to tell people that we are just mar
ried, II they ask you. Understand"
"Yas, sah!" said George; Il under
stand"
All went we'll that day. But the
following morning when the couple
came down to breakfast the staring
was worse than ever. Chambermaids
in the hall snickered; the clerks be-
hind the desk nudged each other; ev-
erybody in the dining-room stared.
When the couple returned to their
room It was only to see a head stick
ing out Of nearly every room down
the long hall.
This was too much. This was the
limit!
Angered beyond control, the groom
went to the desk and called for the
head-waiter.
Look here, you old fool" said the
groom, didn't I give you two dollars
to protect my wife and myself from
this staring business"
"Yas, sab, you did," said George
"'Pon me sould, didn't tell, sah.'
"Then how about this staring ?"ask-
ed the irate groom. tits worse here
than anywhere. Did anybody ask II
we were just married?"
"Yas, sab: several folks did," re-
piled George.
"Well, what did you tell them"
81 tole 'em, sah," replied the honest
negro, "you wuzn't married at ALL"

MIXED METER WITH His STAPLE
Representative Brousard Of Louisiana
tells Of a man who lived in New Or
leans who was a cotton broker during
the week and a full-fiedged preacher
on Sunday. He mixed business with
his religion in a manner surprising to
the natives. Several years ago there
had been great upheavals in the mar
ket and the bulls and bears had beer
having a high jink time. The entire
week was one Of intense excitement
and strain on the men who dealt in the
staple. Fortunes were made and lost
in a jiffy. When Sunday came the
broker-preacher went to his church
ascended the pulpit, and began SER
vices as follows:
I'VE will sing to the praise Of the
Lord in opening these services the
427th hymn-long staple"
THE good man." says the represen-
tative, meant to say long meter" but

staple in which his cash was tied up

who in a season of depression went to

kindly disposed toward the bill and
the committee has great faitn in its
passage.
Chairman Jennings advised the
members that he had received a let
ter from the National Museum in Chi
cago inviting j. w. Erwin, the noted
photographer and lecturer, to go there
and deliver a series of talks on Cali
fornia. This suggestion was well re-
ceived by the committee and it is
likely that Mr.. Erwin will make the
trip.
Mr.. Jennings also proposed sending
Erwin through the State in few
weeks to lecture at the various towns
on the interesting features of CaIfvr-
MIA and at the same time to collect
more pictures to be used In the East.
All the members of the committee fa-
vored this scheme and the work of
raising $1,000 for expenses of the trip
will begin at once.
The committee has perfected ar
rangements for special train to be
