OF course, IL IS the woman Of very

self gladly Of the many clever contrtv-

The little heart-shaped pad which was

There Is a clever contrivance on the

What with the passing OF the blouse
and the arrival Of the more fitted lines
in costuming, the woman who likes to
keep up to date in her dress has real
lied that the time has come to tank
of new corsets. even IL she be not going
to order them until she decides upon
her spring wardrobe.
SO long as the blouse reigned supreme
and it's reign was a long and a tri-
umphant one-the fit OF the corset at the
waist and above the waist did not mat
ter so very much; so the corsetieres
concentrated all their best efforts to-
wards making the hip line long and
sIoping. and ably were they IecOnded in
this by the closely fitted skirts which
made such u corset line prime neeeS-
sity.
But although the blouse cannot yet
be truly declared passe. there is no
doubt that its days, as n bouffant
blouse. arc numbered. And with il viii
vanish that corset which showed about
one-third OF it's dimensions above the
waist line and the remainder below.
The blouse and the corset were ever at
enrnitv. for the blouse encouraged the
don't care attitude in the wearer OF the
corset. and the lines of her figure hid
den there was but little or no ten1pta-
tIon for her to indulge in expensive
speciaIties in the corset line. All this.
though, presupposes that the wearer is
n woman of what is known as average
figure.
But in these latter days there Is evil
dent a decided change. The more fitted
lines of the gown call for higher and
a much firmer bust line. and better
length from underarm to the waist
In addition the waist itself is expected
to become an inch or two smaller; al
though the retention of the straight
front will prevent the oldtime hour
glass figure from eyer reappearing upon
the boards.
II IS the plump and the moderately
stout figures that will welcome this
change. The slender girl. she to whom

voted Herself to Fighting Indians.
In the United States National Gene
terry at Fit Gibson, Indian Territory,
is the grave of Capt Charles Mix and
that of his wife. Both were famous
Indian fghters-the captain In the
line of duty, his widow actuated by re-
venge.
Capt. Mix was one of the earliest
commanders at the old frontier mill
tary post of Fort Gibson, when the
whole vast region, now under the in
nuence OF civilization, was a wilder
ness, occupied only by wild beasts and
rowing bands Of wild Indians. Capt.
Mix had plenty of work to do in af-
fording protection to the scattered
whites and in resisting the wild tribes
of the plains, with whom he was in al
most constant turmoil. He had come
from the east, and was accompanied
by his wife. She was a fine horseback
rider and enjoyed outdoor life, often
riding out with her husband on the
prairies around Fort Gibson, engag-
ing in the hunt, and sometimes on ex-
petitions against the Indians, thus
making life to her an almost continual
round Of romance and adventure.
In one of the military expeditions
against the fierce Sioux. in which sew
eral companies of United States troops
were engaged, Capt. Mix was am
pushed and killed. with a number OF
his command. The sad news changed
the whole tenor Of the life of Mrs.
Mix, who was inconsolable for the loss
Of her husband and companion. She
brooded over the tragedy and came to
the conclusion to revenge the tragic
death of her husband. She assumed
male garb, and never missed an op.
portunity to join an expedition against
the Sioux to fight them, being daring
and reckless almost to madness, dis
tinguishing herself in many q hard
and bloody fight.
Mrs. Mix, in her male disguise as
scout, continued her warfare of re-
venge for about eight years, undergo
ing many hardships and dangers, and
becoming noted for reckless bravery
and good fortune, so that she attracted
attention of head officers of the army
and others, and thereby became noted
In one of the expeditions against the
enemy the whites were ambushed
some killed, and others captured
among the latter being Mrs. Mix. She
managed to escape from her captors
and after a long journey through the
wilderness In winter weather reached
the fort in a famished and almost dy
ing condition, when her sex became
known. Although possessing a stronl
constitution, she never recovered from
her journey through the wilderness
becoming a physical wreck, and diet
at the fort about year later.

LEGAL DEFINITION OF SAND.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Rex
ders One of Interest.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Rem
ders One of Interest.
One of the sources Of occasional con-
fiict regarding contract requirements is
the lack of exact legal definition of
common terms and whenever one of
them Is the subject of an opinion by a
court of final jurisdiction this fact de-
serves attention, says the Engineering
Record. Accordingly, the definition
OF sand" recently given by the SUI
preme Court Of Pennsylvania in Hen
dler vs.. Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany (58 Att. Rep. 486) Ii Of interest
Any builder knows that a good sand
pit near a large city will yield a COM
Portable income to its fortunate pos
SCISSOR and that sand in such location
is a material deserving respectful az
tention- This Is shown even in COM
mon slang; 1t might be said that the
Pennsylvania farmer who brought this
suit against a powerful railway cor
poration possessed considerable sand.
both mental and material
The court rules that In a scientific
sense sand may or may not be a min
eral, according to what 1t is composed
OF. For example, If It Is made up
wholly Of grains Of silica 1t Is a min
eral, but II 1t Is made up OF grains of
different substances 1t is In technical
sense only grains Of rock.
In a commercial sense sand" has a
different meaning, says the court. It
defines mineral" as any organic sub
stance found in nature having suffl-
cient value when separated from It's
surroundings to be mined, quarried or
dug for It's own sake or It's own speci-
fic uses. Sand may or may not come
under this head. A deposit of pure
white quartz sand suitable for making
glass or for some other use would be
considered a mineral under this defini-
ton. Ordinarily mixed sand, useful
merely for grading or a similar pur-
pose, would not be so clasSed.
Railways often secure a right of
way subject to a reservation vesting
in the original owners and their legal
SUCCESSORS all minerals in, under or
upon the lands. Sand and gravel are
often very valuable for grading pur-
poses and the right to use as much of
them as Is to be found on the right
of way is important, particularly when
there Is a reservation In the deed OF
the land similar to that mentioned. The
definition IL also important when, as In
this case, the railway must obtain
such material from borrow pits on pri-
vate land In mining regions, where
the owners are % accustomed to
squabbles over mineral rights that 1t
is second nature for them to regard
every bowlder as gold-bearing quartz
and every stream az petroleum well
