Vile.
What little things turn great events.
Tragedies swing on such inconsequen-
tial hinges. 1t is so exasperating TO
look back over the path of some Gala
mitv and see how easy it might have
been avertedl If one man in the little
town of Lawrence generation ago
had eaten two pieces of pie plant in
stead of three the night of certain
party caucus, he would have attended
that caucus and another set of dele
gates would have gone to the county
convention, another would have been
sent TO the state convention, another
governor of Kansas would have been
nominated and elected, and he would
have chosen another United States
senator. who would have voted for IN
stead of against the impeachment OF
the president of the United States,
and the history of the entire world
would have been an entirely different
affair from the one now in use. Sim
ilarily, if Winfield Hancock Pennlng-
ton, of the town of Boyville, had slip
ned his shoes off in the second block
from his home, instead of in the first
block, on his way to school, great
shadow that settled over his life might
have been lifted. For if he had not
been sitting exactly where he sat on
the curbing of the street on that
bright, beautiful Monday morning IN
September, removing his shoes and
stockings. he would have found no
garter snake to kill; and not having
killed the snake he could not have
brought it to school on stick, he
could not have chased the little girls
around the yard with it before the
teacher came. And if he had not been
doing that, he would not have con
ceived the chivalerous notion that he
might gain the esteem of his heart S
desire by Frightening her with the
snake. And if Winfield Hancock PEN
nington had not made his Heart s De-
sire angry-without giving her a
chance to cool off-she would not
have asked Harold Jones to sit and
sing with her during the opening hour.
But probably all thathappened had to
happen in the course Of things; so
speculation is idle. But when it did
happen it seemed to be a hopeless case.
Young Mr.. Pennington had lived thru
the day, the week before, when the
teacher changed his seat so that he
could not see his Heart s Desire smile,
but he knew that she was sorry with
him and that helped little. But
when he saw Harold Jones singing
from the same book with his Heart s
Desiresire he tried in vain to catch
the fragrant of a smile from her. III
stead of a smile he found her threat
ening to make a face if he persisted.

Every woman, however plain, can
be made attractive in a photograph.
No woman is so homely that her pho
tograph needs to be as homely as
herself. A plain woman may be made
to look pretty, and pretty woman,
yes, and even an ugly woman, may
be made to look beautiful by the
camera.
The secret of an attractive photo
graph is to look the best you are cap
able of looking. Yet nine-tenths of
the sitters who come to a studio come
with the stereotyped remark: 81
want to look just as | do every day
about my business" That is a seri-
GUS mistake, particularly if the wo-
man is plain. A photograph should
be a picture of the woman at her best
and she is far from at her best in
the stiff, half mannish attire fthe
day. / never take photograph of a
woman in a shirt waist if | can help
it and | absolutely and uncondition-
ally refuse to take her in a mannish
tailor suit.
The woman who intends to have
her photograph taken should study

ing dress. Such a girl is the fine

Judge Lawrence is a fine appearing
gentleman; dignifed, courteous and
possessed of great personal magnet
ism. His every word and action de-
notes a deep, learned and carefully
trained legal mind. As a jurist he
has added dignity and credit to the
bench of the west and is noted for his
fair and impartial decisions.
Marshal Bennett was the busiest
man in Tulsa Monday afternoon, and
will be for the remainder of the term,
He has several capable assistants.
Clerk Harrison and his deputy, Mr..
Bucher, are deservedly popular with
the members of the bar and the press.
They lend every assistance to those
seeking information about the court
or cases, and do the favor in a man
ner that makes a person glad he has
met them.
The district attorneys have three or
four days. hard work ahead of them
because of the large number of Grim
inal cases to be tried at this session.
The greatest gathering of lawyers
ever seen in Tulsa was present when
court was called to order this after
noon. There were nearly seventy-tive
attorneys in attendance, among them
some of the brightest legal lights in
the West.

From the hour of the Jones boy

Pennington-familiarly known as
"Pigov"-became boon companions.
A grownup outsider might have won

his way NJ to glory in the school, and
who had run and jumped, and tumbled
and dived, and bantered himself into
the right to be king of Boyville.
Chummery between the two boys
seemed impossible, yet it was one of
the things which every school expects
in a certain crisis. When the affair
is reversed, the two little girls go
about breathing undying hatred for

the art to make you as you ought to
be. For instance, if you are one Of
those women who sit badly, her shoul-
ders sinking to where her sixth rib
ought to be, you must not expect the
photographer to show her sitting
with the high shoulders and straight
back of duchess. Or if she stands
badly, her weight all on one foot, and
one shoulder lowered, no photograph
ers' art can make her 1.-the and
straight as sapline. There are lin
itations to his art as well as his pa
tience.
Do not make up your face before
going to the photographer Let him
do the making up in finishing your
picture, | have no objection to max
ing up, except that not one of thou
sand women makes up well, and 1t is
better not done at all than badly

Leave of supernuous petticoats.
Women have begged me to reproduce
with fidelity the lines of their figures
where they were swathed mummy
like. in three or four, or even five
silk skirts. The lines of their figures
we're buried three or four inches be-
meath the surface of their gowns. In
such cases, | always insist upon the
removal of those superfluous walls OF
silk. When in doubt, avoid skirts
for photography.
Don't wrangle with the photo
grapher because of some preconcelv-
ed notions you brought from home
with you. Don't fancy that you can

taking pictures than you do or he
would be in some other profession.

The best time for studio sitting *
between II and 2 O'Clock, and day
Of bright sunshine is much better
than cloudy one--just four times
better, to be exact, for while photo
graphs NAV be taken on dark day,
the exposure must be four times as
long, and it is difficult to stand or
sit immovably so long.

United States Marshal to select a

thirty-six petit jurymen, instead of

ceive that a woman should want an
unattractive Onef
The woman who is preparing for
a studio sitting should wear her most
becoming gown, provided the gown be
light in color. There was a general
belief at one time, and there are still
those who entertain it, that to take a
good photograph woman should
wear a black gown, or one that looks
black in a photograph. Once this was
true, but it was in the days Of i'm
perfect photography, when lights
were so clumsily manipulated that a
white gown looked chalky and Opaque
in a photograph. No wthat photo
graphy has become mathematical in
its workings and is in effect an exact
science, the white or light gown is
more becoming to the wearer and
its effect is immeasurably more art
istic. Wear white or pink, yellow or
blue or light green, for all of these
look white in the picture.
Full, soft draperies are much bet
ter than scant, severe ones for your
photograph. The lines should follow
the figure, yet ripple about it as
waves curve about shore, not hold
it in vice. The hounced, lace trim
med gown gives much prettler effects
than the severely plain ones.
Having decided what your costume
shall be, give plenty of time and con-
sideration to how you shall dress your
hair. Never mind how you wear it
ordinarily, for it is reasonably sure
that your daily coiffure is not your
most becoming one. However, the
way your hair looks best is the way
to wear it for your photograph. Wo-
men who habitually wear their hair
high have often implored to dress it
low for their photographs, because
they happened to be Of the type to
whom the low coiffure is becoming
More often have had to persuade
the woman who wore her hair in o
coil at her neck to dress it as high
as possible. A girl comes to the
studio in the pomp of fashion of a
carefully constructed pompadour that
has to be sacrificed TO the claim Of
beauty in photography. The fashion
able Paris dip will not reproduce in
any photograph. The crooked effect
of the hair gives crooked effect to
the face, and the hard straight line
is a path of ugliness. The stiff,
straight pompadour throws the face
into shadow and hardens the features
into an unbecoming rigidity 1t
should also be avoided in a picture
because it makes a woman look old.
OF a piece with the old belief that a
dark gown is best is that dark hair
takes better and that a brunette will
take a better photograph. The con-
trary is true. The advantage is en-
tirely with the blonde. Wear the hair
loosely about the forehead, because
heavy arrangement always makes
the face look hard and old.
Dress with the utmost care, Civ
ing attention to every detail of dress,
for while the photographers should be
an artist, he is not a wizard. He will
photograph you as you are when you
stand before his camera. He has not

HOW THE PLAINEST WOMAN MAY
LOOK PRETTY IN A PHOTOGRAPH

towering of what is most attractive
in woman. Why7
First of all, the girl wears thin,
filmy, adaptable fabrics. Her gowns
are of sheer silk or muslin that cling
gracefully to the figure, and yet are
capable of billowy effects. Her hats,
when she wears any, are of the same
character, lacy, delicate in shade, and
soft of outline. The apothesis of
feminine beauty is the girl in the
decolette gown. With the exception
of the woman whto is painfully and
hopelessly &-thin, everyone looks
better in the moderately low gown.
She looks ten year younger. Her
complexion is fairer, her eyes are
brighter, the lines of chin and throat
more beautiful for the unswathing
of her shoulders. The girl in the ev-
ening gown usually wears her hair
high, a fashion that is almost univer-
sally becoming to women. The fab
rics she chooses for her evening gowns
are semi-diaphonous and lend the il
lusion of youth and beauty. They are
also of lighter schades, and light
shades are better foils for beauty
and more effective draperies for plain
ness than dark or strong shades.
The key notes of dress are hints
to the woman who wants an attrac
tive photograph-and who can con-

DROWNED IN CREEK.
Twelve Men Were Unable to Save
Their Companion.

Claude McMican and John Wilson
who Yesterday evening returned from
Ramona where they had been called
the night before to take charge of the
body of Mr.. Keenan,, the man who

following facts:
Mr.. Keenan,, the man drowned, and
twelve other men, fellOwworkmen,

entangled and while struggling in the
water Mr.. Keenan, attempted to save
the horse by cutting him loose from
the wagon and lost his life in the
effort. A bruise was found on the

CONGRESSMAN JONES.

When Jones left Badgers Corners he
was racked by doubt and fear,
And a weight was on shoulders as he
heard his neighbors cheer;
He was going where great statesman
with majestic brows would stand,
In the halls of marble, wisely making
statutes for the land.
In his heart Jones knew how little he
excelled the common ones
Who were sending him to mingle with
and challenge the big guns"
In his fancy he could plainly see him
self unnoticed there,
Where the splendid statesmen lowered
and with wisdom filled the air.
Jones was awed when he beheld them
and first heard them called by
name:
Still the glamour was upon them, he
was dazzled by their fame,
And he watched them, full of wonder,
yet little sadly, too.
For in searching out the giants he
found very, very few.
Day by day he saw and heard them,
day by day his awe decreased;
He had feared and he had doubted.
but at length his trembling ceased
He had learned at last that greatness
is but being stationed where
Almost any one might dazzle If the
fates had set him there.

Horse Sense in Buying an Automobile

When a man is buying horse for
family use, several considerations pre-
sent themselves:
1st-He desires that the horse shall
present an attractive appearance. A
horse that looks like a sleepy old plug,
and yet at the crack of a whip awakes
and trots a mile in 2:20 is all right for
the man who wants some amusing ex-
buying that kind of an animal for
family use. He wants a. horse with
some style about him.
2d-He wants a fair amount of
speed. The horse must not only L
presentable. but must be able to reach
his destination in reasonable time.
3d-A man wants a horse that his
family can drive. 1t is this considera-
ton which presents itself most strong
ly to him and is one of the first ques-
lions he asks He is not going to
trust his family to a horse that goes
up in the air every time a small dog
barks at him, nor one that side-steps
ten feet at sight of a piece of paper in
the road, nor one that takes the bit
in his teeth and runs away whenever
he takes the notion. In short, the man
wants a horse that is easily managed
and can be driven by any member of
the family. This is horse sense.
Now, why does man lose complete
sight of this last factor when he is
buying an automobile? He consults
appearance, style and speed, but when
it comes to the question of a machine
that any member of the family can
drive, that consideration never enters
his head. He buys on appearance,
style and speed, and, later, when his
family wants to run the machine, finds
that he has one so complicated that
he is afraid to trust it to them. Then
he begins to think, and wishes he had
done his thinking before he bought his
machine. The outcome is that he hires
chauffeur, whom he pays 800 or so
per month, who is supposed to keep
the machine in repair, but does little
of that, and who uses the machine at
night for the purpose of hauling his
individual friends around. At the end
