dow and took her in his arms, his

as he turned to Lord Venner.
II told you so, sir. She loves me and
is true and sweet in her loyalty to the

all, you will be Lady Venner some day?

Fashion Notes.

American Beauties and roses in the
faded shades are the favorites.
The greens are prominent both in
millinery and frocks and many new
shades are shown.
For separate skirt in dark blue or
white serge or mohair the sun plated
model is particularly good.
An attractive gown in pale yellow
mousseline de sole was made with side
plated waist, while the skirt was sun
plated.
An especially chic model hat shown
by a celebrated milliner was a roll
brim sailor tilted forward, as are all
such sailors this year. s.
The hats are eccentric. One must ad-
nit that, but the eccentricity lies in
the combination of head and hat,
rather than the hat ITSELF
One needs masses of fluffy hair. q
charming face and youth-to wear the
new hats well, and unluckily that COM
bihation is not so common as one could
wish.
Every style of costume from shirt
waist dress to ballroom gown may be
accordion or side plated, and in every
material from chiffon to cloth is ii
attractive.

Leniency to College Thugs.

s'The difference in the public attitude
toward the doings Of college boys and
other boys irritates me extremely"
said Herbert Van Dyke, who has been
an unofficial worker for the benefit OF
the street boys Of New York for twenty
years.
II happened to be passing a large
apartment house near college once
just as fire broke out. Boys rushed
over from the college, and interfered
with the work of the firemen so that
they were actually prevented from
getting the fire under control until the
police arrived and used their clubs.
"Another time I sat in a theatre in
college town and saw college boys
throw bomb on the stage in the midst
of the ballet. I. set the skirts Of three
ballet girls on fire.
IF the poor boys work among did
practical joking Of that sort they would
simply be jailed as young thugs and
assassins. New York Press.

A LOGGING ENGINE.
Peculiar Machine That Draws Trains
From the Bonner Camp.

Peculiar Machine That Draws Trains
From the Bonner Camp.
The operation of logging trains on
the Big Blackfoot railroad has been
resumed, after shutdown which mas
lasted during severe weather, says
Missoula despatch to the Anaconda
Standard. This road. which was COM
pleted last year, is one Of the most
interesting short roads in the coun-
try. It runs from the hills through
the Camas prairie country, a dis
tanse Of 13 miles, and carries train
loads of logs to be dumped into the
Blackfoot river for the Big Blackfoot
Milling cornpany's plant at Bonner.
Since the enlargement of the Bonner
plant it will be possible to keep the
railroad running most Of the year, and
probabilities are it's trains will con-
tinuc to haul logs to the river all
summer and fall at the rate Of 30 car
loads per day.
The equipment of the railroad
consists of two Shay engines and 50
logging cars. The engines are most
interesting, as they are of a special
make. They work by means OF cog
wheels, thus making it possible for
them to haul over heavier grades
than the ordinary type.
The grade at some places along the
Blackfoot is about percent, which is
too great for an ordinary railroad en-
gine. During the last two years the
Big Blackfoot company has spent in
the neighborhood of 100000 on. it's
railroad and mill improvements, and
the plant is now in position to run
IL months in the year. This is
good news to those who depend upon
the timbering industry in this end OF
the state, for. in addition to the men
employed in the hills, there are in
the neighborhood Of 800 working in
the factory and mill at Bonner.
The Big Blackfoot company has
about 200 men at work in the hills
| at the present time cutting timber
! and these men will cut enough to
keep the road in operation most OF
the time. Logs are hauled from the
| hills to the Mcnamara landing on the
Blackfoot river and from there they
| are driven down the river. At the
| landing now 23,O0O.000 feet of logs
wait for the drive, and this amount
will soon be increased by means o1
the railroad facilities. The capacit,
of the Bonner mill has become 81
great that it keeps an army of me1
at work supplying it with timber
However, the company owns enough
timber tributary to the mill to sup
ply it for quarter Of century t
come.
