To millions OF people news of thu
loss by sinking of the island of Juar
Fernandez off the Chillian coast during
the recent earthquake, will cause a
sense Of personal loss, for the island
was made famous by Daniel Defoe, the
author, as the scene of the romantic
story of Robinson Crusoe, a story dear
to all readers, both young and old.
The story is not wholly a work of
fiction, as it was based on the adven-
lures Of an English privateersman,
named Alexander Selkirk, with whom
Defoe became acquainted after he had
been rescued from his long residence
on the island. The story first appeared
in the London Post in l7l9 as serial.

BACHELOR GIRLS BUTTONS


The present style of fastening
women's dresses down the back,
although pretty and very becom-
ing to the fair wearers, has de-
cided disadvantages. Compare
lively few women have maids,
and many are the sole represent
atiyes of their sex in their own
households.
Nowadays exclusively femi-
nine cOnvOcations are wont to
exchange curious tales relating
! che shifts to which lone woman
must resort in order to get in
and out of her clothes. Even
their best young men, provided
they were already proved trust
worthy and discreet, have been
pressed into service by enterpris-
ing girls, who, faring home from
some evening festivity, and fore
seeing battle and defeat await
ing them, have permitted their
escorts respectfully to undo the
central-always the most Obdu
rate-button in the back of the
5odice.
Even more desperate measures
were resorted to by a bachelor
maid who, after a recent social
occasion, having returned to her
bachelor fat after wearing with
much satisfaction a brand new
dinner gown, discovered to her
dismay when she endeayOred to
undo its pOsteriOr fastenings
that one or two of them positive

bachelor girl lived alone, there

not go to her bed in her best
gown, and it looked as if she
would have to sit up all night.
After some moments of hOrri-
tie reflection the distressed
resolved to brave the ter
'ors of the street and accost the

Cannot Mortgage a Crop.

The decision rendered by Judge Garri-
gues last week at Greeley, holding that
mortgages on crops not planted are in
valid, will, IL sustained by the higher
courts, be far reaching in its effects and
will revolutionize the method prevailing
among many farmers Of giving chattel
mortgages on crops to be grown subse-
quent to the date OF the mortgage
Fully one-half of the business of the
stores of Weld county is done with far
mers who give as security for their pur-
cnase, mortgages on the future crops
The case which brought about this
Important decision was that OF Thomas
", Wilson, banker Of Eaton, against
Il. II. Florence, a sheriff of Weld county.
Some time ago the Park Merchandise
company obtained judgment against
O. G. Williams which, with costs,
amounted to $500. The merchandise
company placed the execution in the
hands of the sheriff, who levied upon a
large amount of potatoes and other prop
erty in the possession of o. G. McWil-
liams and G. A. McWilliams, his wife.
The merchandise company claimed the
| right to proceed against the property OF
the wife as well as the husband for the
reason that judgment was upon an ac-
count for merchandise sold and for fam
liy purposes.
Wilson brought suit against the sheriff
in replevin, claiming the right to all
property levied upon under the chattel
mortgage executed in April, 1905, given
by c. A. McWilliams, the wife alone, to
secure payment to him OF s4,500
Among other property described in the
mortgage was so acres Of potatoes not
planted at the time Of the giving OF the
l.aortgnge. The merchandise company
lcontended that the mortgage was moi
valid to said potatoes for the reason that
the potatoes were not in existence at that
time, and that they should be sold under
the execution to justify judgment.
Judge Garrigues held that the mort.
gage was invalid for the reason that the
crop OF potatoes was not planted, and he
decided the case in favor OF the plaintiff
Wilson, for the reason that most of the
indebtedness evidenced by the merchan.
disc companys judgment was for goods
purchased at the time prior to the pass.
