Trousers a Passing Fashion,

1t NAV not be known that the ia
miliar soutane or cassoek of a Cath
olic priest was the garment habitu-
ally worn by all gentlemen up to
comparatively recent times, though
1t was not always necessarily black.
There is portrait of Dante wearing
one of instep length, made on an un-
mistakable "sunray" pattSrn. And
long gowns were not confined to gen
tlemen. The habit of a Franciscan
friar was the garment worn by the
shepherds Of Umbria In st. Francis g
time, and probably for centuries be-
fore and after It,
There is evidence enough of this
in our own times, II one travels
outside the narrow limits of West
ern civilization. The man or woman
who goes East will see skirted men
everywhere = Arabs, Cashmeries
Punjabies, Burmans, Chinese, Japan
ese, Malays, to mention only a few
The present bifurcate system of west
ern Europe, though 1t seems to the
untraveled eye as fixed and unaltera-
BILE as the Pyramids, Is but a passing
fashion in the history OF male attire.

RARE ORCHID DISCOVERED.
After Half a Ccntury's Search Orchid
Collectors Rewarded

There came to London in 1857,
from India, a miscellaneous stock of
orchids. They were duly sold at auc-
ton, and some Of them were bought
by Mr.. Fairlie Of Liverpool. In his
possession they bloomed, and one of
them was recognized as a variety
previously unknown and of singular
beauty. 1t was named after its own
er-Cypripedium Faireanum. The
Indian collection contained several
other specimens Of the same plant,
and keen was the competition that
ensued for their possession. But
most of the purchasers simply vast
ed their money; the plants did not
flourish. The original stock dwindled
and died
Meanwhile, India has been ran
sacked in vain by orchid hunters
for other specimens of the plant

Origin Of Bowinq.

"The bow" said an antiquary, orig
mated in a cover. The weak savage
to save himself from being knocked
down by the stronger one when they
met, groveled upon the earth and thus
the bow arose.
THE lifting of the hat is of much
later date than the bow. 1t is derived
from the time when men wore armor,
When two armor-clad knights met In
those days and fell into talk they took
off their helmets as a sign of mutual
confidence. They exposed their heads
to show that they respected one an
other, to show that neither was afraid
of being Drained Hence the modern
lifting Of the hat, salutation whose
meaning Is:
L hold you In such reverence that
without fear place my life in your
bands
'On the same principle is the fashion
of wishing health when drinking In
tie olden days it was a fayorite trick
to hand a man a drink and plunge a
knife into him when his features were
hidden by the uplifted cup. So our
ancestors hit upon the scheme OF
pledging each other that there would
be nothing doing while enjoying a
mutual drink. From that comes our
familiar Here's to you, Happy days,
etc.

ELEPHANTS GOING UP
Prices Quoted at $3.50 Vertical Foot
Instead of $240 Two Years Ago.

"A fve-foot elephant costs this
year." said the importer of animals
81 400, as against $1,000, for which
such elephants could be bought two
years ago.
Elephants, like all other wild ami.
mails, are growing scarcer with the
settlement of the globe, and their
prices tend upward. More small ele-
plants than big ones are imported be-
cause they cost less to begin with and
because they are easier and safer to
transport and showmen like them, too
because young elephants are more
tractable and easier to train. And
small elephants are attractive anyway.
Then the elephant is hardy anil
NAL in captivity and 1t is naturally
long lived, and the young elephant
Increases In value with its growth;
and SO, even with their prices tending
upward, young elephants are good
property"

Heat Caused a Mystery.

For some time the authorities OF
Hsrmallesous, Huy. on the river
Msuse, have been much exercised In
mind at the mysterious disappear
ance OF iron railings which served az
guards to prevent persons inadver-
tently walking into the river. II was
thought that they had been pur-
loined for the sake of the metal, but
an investigation proves that they are
in the river, and that owing 70 ex-
pansion by the heat they had worked
loose In their stone sockets and so
fallen into the water.

read your article in The Leader in re-

to us that If this branch OF the A., T. &

only help Us but Guthrie also We
have been told by the railroad people
for four years that IL was going TO
build either to Sapulpa or Tulsa. is
there anything Guthrie or Cushing
can do TO get the road? We under
stand that the Santa Fe has a blue
print of the ro1te. Oklahoma City
has all the advantages Of railroad
facilities from all this country east and
including this town. Could a com
pany be formed to build a road eat
from here? We believe that If Guth

go in earnest that we could get it
