New Trinl Denied.

The following rescript relates to the
case of Fred l.. Hubbard vs Andrew w.
CIocker which WAS tried at the Deem
Der term of the Supreme Judicial Court
in this county in 1904. The parties
lived ON adjoining farms in the town of
St. Adams and the plaintiff, Fred l..
Hubbard, boy then eleven years old,
was on an errand at the defendants
house when, as he claims, he was at
tackled by dog belonging to Mr.. Crock

legged to be permanent
REscRIPT
The defendant sought to recover dam
ages for injuries sustained by being bit

debatable question arising under the
plaintiffs motion for a new trial is

ant on the general question OF liability,
the plaintiffs exceptions to the exclusion

EASY BEAUTY EXERCISES.
Each Woman Should Carefully Con-
slider Her Own Defects and Persist
emily Try to Overcome Them.

Nothing is more common cause Of
physical ,Slevenness than the habit OF
incorrect standard, throwing the weight
of the body upon one foot or leg. Many
cases of crookedness are also brought
about by some odd individual habit.
Carrying school books or parcels al.
ways in one arm, especially when they
are held against the hip, throws a body
into one-sided position. Improper sit
ting at school or at desks not rightly
adjusted is responsible for many I'm.
even shoulders and hips.
1t is necessary for every woman to
study her own case, and to discover the
cause; if it is some trick or habit, such,
for instance, as holding a trained skirt
always by the right hand, it must b.
done away with promptly, and exercises
practiced to correct the figure.
In simple standing exercises it is i'm
portant that one hand should rest on
the hip and the other be clasped about
the neck. The hand on the hip belongs
to the high side; the other, lifted to
the neck, raises the entire side hip,
shoulder and all, along with it, and so
corrects the fault. The high hip is usu-
ally the right one, but each case may
differ.
Starting with this position, it is pos
sible to use an infinite number of we'll
known exercises; those which stretch
and bend the spine are the most profit
able.

RECEPTION ETIQUETTE.
What to Serve at an Informal After.
noon and How to Dispense the
Light Refreshments.

The etiquette of receptions, when
these take the form of -four o'clock tea"
or of certain days in the month or sea-
son, forbids the Offering of a large va
riety of refreshments. Indeed, it is con-
sidered decidedly vulgar to do so; tea,
chocolate. sandwiches. punch or, on cold
days in winter, hot bouillon, are all that
is necessary.
The serving is also very simple, to
be in perfect taste. The tea equipments
may be at one end of the room, on small
table, and every one go to receive cup,
or it may be handed by maid. The
hostess may have several girl friends
to assist in the serving, or she may see
that her guests are served herself.
This informality is almost necessity,
for the reason that guests come and go,
and any formal serving is practically Inn
possible. Especially is this the case
where the tea of afternoon is given by q
bride to receive her friends. She may
not know many of them, and introduce
lions are in order; she may be very
young and not yet equal to the formal
reception. In any case, it is good form
to have such occasions quite free of the
formality Of q course dinner.

THE FASHIONABLE HATS.

three long green leaves give the lift

quill-shaped leaves are much employed
upon these stiff hats, especially if real
flowers are used. With the genuine
quilts many novel effects are remarked,
odd spots and unique trimmings of all
sorts appearing upon the pointed and
paddle-shaped feathers: Fancy braids,
too, with bristling flower edges, are eff

the embarrassment to his firm would

his good fortune was with him, for the
engine soon began drinking eagerly

SIX HATS OF MODERN MAN
And the Hatbox That Is Made to
Garry Them All When He
Travels.

The latest thing in the way of hat
boxes for men is one made to carry six
hats. These include a silk hat, an opera
hat, a derby, a soft hat, a straw hat and
a soft, roll-up hat for travelling, says the
New York Sun.
There is besides plenty of room in the
hat box for cap, also, If 1t is desired to
carry one. The box is provided, further
more, with two hat brushes, one of the
narrow sort to work under the derby's
Drim and one of the ordinary kind.
there is also d polishing pad for the silk
hat.
With such hat box completely filled
with all the hats it is designed to con-
tain, the owner is equipped for any oc-
casion, at any season. in any part of the
world. This hat box is square in shape,
made Of sole leather and sells for $25.

FOR BAeY's WARDROBE.
From a Clothes-Basket and a LarRs
Box May Be Evolved Bassinet
and Chest.

A common clothesbasket, costing q
cents, may be transformed into most
charming and comfortable nest for the
little stranger, where most of the time
for the first six months of life may be
spent.
First, cover the basket with pink, blue
or white cambria; make a pad of curleL
hair for the bottom; cover this with
oiled silk. Then take white dotted
swiss and cover the cambria; make q
deep rufle around the top, which may
be plain or edged with ribbon or lace;
wind the handles with ribbon, tying a
big bow at the side. A tiny pillow may
be added for the downy heady. but most
nurses disapprove OF pillows of any size.
says the Chicago Record-t4erald.
Now for the chest upon which the bas-
ket can rest A wooden box 80 inches
long and % inches high is the founda-
ton of the one illustrated. 1t came
from the store filled with small parcels
and was about to be consigned to the
basement for kindling wood when "the
matron" rescued it and announced that
from it the baby's hamper and basket
were to be evolved.
The man of the house smoothed the
rough edges, made a lid, and then q
tray of very light wood was fitted in
the top, just like a trunk tray. The
entire chest was lined with blue cam
pric; the tray was covered with blue,
then with white point d'esprit; pin
cushions, pockets and powder box were
all put in this tray; it was made ex-
actly like the time-honored baby basket.
The top of the chest cover had piece
of blue silk elastic fastened diagonally
across which held the brush, comb, and
other small articles. Under the tray
was plenty of room for the tiny clothes.
The outside of the chest was covered
with tapestry at a dollar and a quarter q
yard, but cretonne or the art tickings
are all appropriate.

exploit is the bagging of panther
measuring 12 feet from tip to tip.
Young Hill was out on the range and
came across the carcass of two-year-
old steer that had been killed and
partly devoured by some animal, and,
not knowing what it was he returned
to the house for help. Finding Everybody
gone, he called his dogs and started out.
and after several hours chase he sue
ceeded in freeing the animal.
He was walking around under a
tree trying to get chance for shot.
the panther sprang at him, knocking
him down, and hand-to-hand fight en-
sued. The interference Of the dogs en-
abled the boy to regain his gun, and he
succeeded in putting shot into the vital
spot. dispatching the panther.
AS the animal was too big for him to
handle, he cut some brush On which he
rolled the carcass, and. attaching this
crude litter to his horse, proceeded
homeward in triumph. The panther is
the largest specimen ever killed in the
county, and had been preying on stock
in neighboring ranches for several
months.

TYPICAL OF THE SEASONS SHOWING.

especially with mourning millinery are
.nese stunning, as the black ones show
all sorts of crepe-like suggestions. In
fact, everything is done to hake mourn
ing millinery handsome, and, except
for the somber note struck by un-
relieved black, many a mourning hat
seems fiippantly gay.
The new. toques are rather smaller
than those recently worn, and such
shapes in straw, horsehair braid or
flowers and tulle are chosen most often
for wear with plain, tailored gowns.
The majority lift high at the back and
point over the face, for high back or
front lift are the newest. touches in mil
linery.
Still. there are side-tilted brim hats,
and low, round turbans which sit on the
head as fatty as the old pork-pie
shapes. One of the last named illus
trates a distinctive trimming in the
way the two long quilts meet at the left
front. and almost completely encircle
the edge. The quilts are in glittering
shades of bronze-brown and green, and

hat. At the back of the turban, loops
of bronze velvet are placed against the
hair.
The rear rise of the brims may be
regarded as most valuable, as, through
this, the back under trimmings are
again used. No more becoming touch
was ever found in millinery than this
massing of pretty materials against the
hair. The charming device also calls
for the crown band, which tits the hat
at fetching angle over the face; and.
as this suits brim shapes admirably,
some very effective leghorn and panama
models are seen.
Compared to the compact and fatty
trimmed toques these hats seem
very coquettish. Evidently the shaping
ofmany of the models is entirely the mill
liners affair, for in most cases the big
datusedis plated and tucked into what
ever form wished by the trimmer.

Once, early in the first bout, Jenkins,
having assumed the aggressive, forced
the foreigner into head spin,
but never after did Jenkins have as
good as a looll-in. It will take an
other Yousuff or Hall Adali to throw
this powerful Russian. The two Turks
named-one now dead, and the other
out of the wrestling game-could prob
ably have handled the Russian, though
it is far from certain that either OF
them would have had easy game with
him. Hackenschmidt combines the
agility of a featherweight on his feet
with the Herculean strength which Is
his. The muscles of his neck appear
able to cope with the strange hold and
break it. His arms. right and left, are
too powerful to fall prey to the ham,
merlOck hold, and his underpinning Is
SO firm as to Withstand the most de-
termined efforts at disl0dging. Hack

is one Of the finest, if not the finest,
specimen of the all-around athlete and
strong man, and is an inspiration for
artists and poets as the distribution OF
his muscles is most picturesque. I'm
like men Of his profession, he is not
muscle-bound, as is shown by the fact
that he can clear the bar at 5 feet s
inches, which is his own height. He
combines agility with his strength, and
1t has been this important factor that
has won so many honors for him in the
wrestling game. Besides being great
wrestler, Hackenschmidt is also a
strong man, tumbler and all-around
athlete. His great physique is ad-
mired by physical-culture and medical
experts throughout the world, and he is
thought to be the perfect man" by
many. He is 26 years of age, and
weighs 210 pounds. Although he is a
Russian, he comes from German
stock, his relatives having been mem
bers of the German army. for almost a
generation. Hackenschmidt is said to
be worth 100000, and it is asserted
that he follows the game for the sport
there is in it, and not for the many
easy dollars that fall to man of his
ability. In all his career as wrestler,
Hackenschmidt has never been thrown,
not a single fall ever having been re-
corded against him. Among his not
able victories is one over Ahmed Mar
rail-, the Terrible Turk, who was the
sultan's pride. He lasted less than one
minute with Hackenschmidt, and was
so hat1ly heaten in that SPACE of time
that he was unable to continue.

When you didn't show up after the

was sure they belonged to you, and

It would be very pleasant If it were
possible to say at this time that the
unfortunate Lawyer Jones had by some
miraculous means found his valuable
papers in the courtroom when he ar

such was not the case. He nearly
burned up the wires that night tele-

much in ignorance about his papers as
when he received tho startling infor-
