day morning at about 3 o'clock at
his home in Caldwell. His hook is
empty; no more will his articles be

Davis stood head and shoulders above
any other writer in the state. He
had the faculty of injecting a vein of
humor through his writings that no
other writer in the state could
initiate. Rees Davis was a man
whom 1t was pleasure to meet; he
was we'll informed ana had a memory
that was ever ready to respond as Cd

Rees H. Davis, the Caldwell editor
whose death was chronicled last
week, was born in Wales, but came
to this country when but three years
of age. He went to Malad in the
early eighties, and for a number of
years was the editor of the Malad
Enterprise Fourteen years ago he
purchased the Caldwell Tribune of
the Stuenenburg Bros. and under his
management it became a rival of the
Statesman as a leading republican
paper of the state. He was the
most versatile Journalist of Idaho,
and his genial aud kindly nature
and brilliant mind made him favor
lite with all who knew him, We will
ever cherish MS one of our happiest
memories our personal acquaintance
with him, which began and ended at a
meeting of the State Press Assoc
tion at Ketchum and delightful
excursion to Shoshone Falls, during
which time he was the life of the
party. May the "Peace which pass
eth all understanding be with him. :"

New Workers who are dieting them

Prof. Alexander Haig, the English die
etry expert. He writes from London
to the medical fraternity Of New York

popular notion that the average man
eats too much. Knowing the opinion

sirable to live on a smaller quantity

special strain or stress. Debility from
under feeding may come on SO insid-

Lace Jackets Here AGAIN.

Lace jackets have come back with

more than an excuse for holding the
bits of heavy and light lace together.

foundation, the lace set into the en-

lace until 1t is as hard to tell where
one ends and the other begins as it is

opalescent colors of sunset clouds
merge into white.

when further peril was impending, and
by reassuring them when the volcano
began to show signs of having spent
It's force.
And in this belief he has been justi-
fed. On Tuesday and Wednesday,
when the situation was such that even
In Naples there was a veritable panic,
when the people believed that the city
was about to be blotted out, when the
prisoners in the jail mutinied, and the
poorer classes, declaring that the au-
thorities were to blame for the loss of
many lives, were In the mood for any
excess, 1t was the messages from Mat
teucci that furnished the one note of
hope. 1t is, indeed, more than proba-
BILE that they turned the scale at the
critical moment and averted terrible
outbreak on the part of the population.
The knowledge that this man, in the
midst of peril far greater, indescriba-
bly, greater than that of any inhabi-
tant of Naples, remained cool and full
of faith that conditions were about to
grow brighter, must surely have served
to calm the fears of thousands.
Six years ago the scientific world
was startled by reading that an OBJ
server had camped for three days on
the edge Of the crater of Vesuvius
while the volcano was in violent erup-
ton, At that time the boiling lava
was within 260 feet of the top of the
crater, enormous blocks of stone were
thrown out, and great quantities of the
scoriae. The observer who camped on
the edge of the crater was Prof. Mat.
teucci, who had then been director OF
the royal observatory for four years.
The details later received regarding
the proceedings of the professor only
served to increase the general wonder
at his intrepidity. 1t was related how
on one occasion, when he was camping
not on the edge of the crater, but OF
the mountain side some distance be,
low, the volcano threw up a block OF
stone of extraordinary size. 1t rose il
the air and came down within a few
yards of Matteucci.
What was Matteueci doing in the

his legs could carry him? No He was

Much choice in sIeeuea-

Short sleeves, elbow length, con-
tinue to be the fad for all sort of
gowns, but the long lace or lingerie
cuffs grow in favor every day. 1t is
not becoming or attractive to have the
long cuff or undersleeve made of the
same material as the gown, as is
seen in many of the new models, but
the unlined deep cuff gives an entirely
different effect, and it can be said
most truthfully to be invariably be-
coming. The original idea of an
elbow sleeve on an elaborate style of
gown was undoubtedly charming, but
the fashion has literally been run
into the ground" and there has been
such an exhibition of red elbows and
rough red arms this winter as to make
conservative minded women clamor
for some change of fashion. Nothing

Large Ruehes Worn.

Once again net and chiffon ruches
are to be worn, and when furs are
first laid aside is the time that a
ruching or an ostrich or marabout
boa is most necessary. This year the
ruches are all large-unusually full in
the center of the back, but slightly
narrower at the side. A net boa is
finished off with long ribbon stream
ers either of velvet or taffeta ribbon
about an inch in width. The chiffon
ruches may have streamers of the
same caught in here and there with
velvet or satin rosettes. Maline or
tulle should never be used, as the
stiffness will disappear on the first
damp day. The net may be laid on
the band in plaits or simply gathered
on-whichever way will give most
fullness. The hats this year are still
high In back and so require something
at the back of the neck or the collar
will look unbecomingly bare. The
elaborate little bolero jackets which
are to be so popular this spring all
seem to demand the finish of a full

and narrow black velvet ribbon. For
blondes little wreath arranged a

achievements represent wide range
OF employments. From the studio to
