"No NaIuabIes Within" the Legend
Posted on New York Mansions.
Residents of upper Riverside drive
in New York are displaying unwonted
solicitude for the welfare of the festive
burglar, says the New York American.
The knight of the jimmy is being saved
untold trouble by wealthy householders
who before going to the country tackled
signs on their houses telling the pros
pective housebreaker that there wasn't
any silver or jewelry on the premises.
In some cases storage warehouse
companies have pinned notices on doors
announcing that the valuables which
used to be within are now in vaults,
and they give the names of the firms
and their addresses.
This scheme is to prevent burglars
from uselessly wrecking doors and
breaking windows.

NATIONAL APPLE DAY.
Date Set For Annually Paying Trib.
ute to This Fruit.

Everybody get ready for Apple day.
The third Tuesday of every October
has been set apart by the American
apple growers congress as a day for
the payment of special tribute to this
glorious fruit The observance is to
begin the 10th of next October.
While there were no specific sug-
gestion as to how Apple day should be
celebrated, the members of the con-
gress unanimously agreed on October
as the month in which to hold the cele-
bration, because about that time Of
the year most of the fairs take place in
the southwestern states, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch. 1t is hoped the
fair dates can be arranged to coincide
with the apple festival.
The members of the apple congress
think the popularity of the apple will
spread much more rapidly If Apple
day Is made a feature of the fairs
wherever possible. In such case ap-
pies from all over the country could
be exhibited and prizes could be given
for apple pies, apple sauces and for
The best apples from each community.
This, the apple growers think, would
encourage the cultivation of the fruit,
which, they say. is not half as well ap-
preciated as it deserves to be.
In places where fairs are held either
earlier or later than Apple day spe-
cial apple exhibits should be held.
The members of the congress hope
that the third Tuesday in October will
in time become fixed holiday on the
calendar of the United States just as
Labor day and Thanksgiving day.

Ink From CornstaIks.

After ten years of experimenting
David Anderson of Joelton, Ind, Is
about to harvest his first crop of ink,
says the Buffalo News. He has fine
field of corn, and the stalks, as re-
suit of his labors, are of a rich purple
color and contain each about pint and
half of deep purple fluid which makes
an excellent ink. The color is perma-
nent, and as good ink is worth far more
than ordinary corn sap, he expects a
good profit from his venture.

The story of the late Mike Dryers
rise and fall is without a parallel.
From a meat stall in Washington mar
ket, New York, he branched out into n
race track operator. With one horse,
Rhadamanthus, he and his brother Phil
won many races and then, giving up
the butcher business, turned all their
attention to horse racing. For nearly
twenty years they owned the most for
midable stable of thoroughbreds in
America. They never bred horse,
contenting themselves with buying
tried performers.

MEMS AUTUMN STYLES.
Coats a TriHe shorter and without
Vents-TrOusers Narrower.

Concerning clothes for autumn the
tendency has been so we'll defined that
one could hardly go amiss, so there is
no particular prophetic merit in having
hit the mark to a nicely. The ultra
model of lounge suit is primarily for
autumn, yet l anticipate no radical de-
partures from its pattern in the suit for
winter, says a writer in the Haber
dasher. The jacket is a trifle shorter
than that for spring and summer. is cut
with very little shaping at the waist,
fits snugly about the hips and is fash
toned without vent. The lapel has the
long roll and is closely notched and the
edge is cut rather sharply away from
the lower button with curved instead
of the prevailing angular effect. Shout
ders are squared and sleeves narrower
than heretofore. Pocket flaps follow
the curves Of the jacket edge. Wide
stitching on collar lapel and edges is
distinctive characteristic. The breast
pocket may be Incorporated or not, ac-
cording to Individual preference.
Owing to the vogue of the high cut
waistcoat six AND seven buttons are
used. Trousers are not so wide and
will be cut to extend scarcely below the
ankle. We may expect extremes in
this regard and likewise lot of pub
lished statements Of the return to high
waters" which will be awry only if the
tide rises too far. Then, also, fad
will be the turnups at the bottom,
which, however, will not prevail be-
yond the calendar limits of autumn If,
indeed, biting weather does not compel
it's abandonment ere that date.

HIS FORTUNE FOR HIS DoGa
A Chicago Man Protecting a Pet
From the Courts.

A Chicago Man Protecting Pet
From the Courts.
Mans affection for his dog and
woman's love for her child, themes of
the masters and the melodramatists,
have crossed wires in Indiana avenue,
Chicago, saws a correspondent of the
Kansas City Times. The man has
staked his fortune of $4,000 for pre-
serving the dogs life. The woman has
dedicated her remaining days to her
VOW that the pet shall die.
Colonel II. L. Morton owns the dog
and considerable property, besides re-
ceiving pension. Mrs. Lula Poole Is
the mother of the child. Early In July
the dog bit the girl. Two physicians
saved her life after determined effort.
The doctors declared the dog should be
killed Colonel Morton refused to hear
their entreaties, and Mrs. Poole took
the matter to court.
Three decisions have been given in
the woman's favor, and thrice the po-
lice have sworn the dog must die. The
dog vet lives, just where the police
have given up.
Justice Hurley heard the pleadings of
the childs mother in her third appeal
the other day and granted her techni-
cally the life of the pet, besides i'm
posing fine of $50 upon Colonel Nor
ton. Then the colonel took steps to
carry the case to the supreme court.
Some time in October the fourth trial
will take place.
II love my dog, and before 1 shall
see it killed will spend everything 1
have" said Colonel Morton to Mrs.
Poole after the hearing. IF it takes
my last red cent, gladly will 1 give it
up to defend its life"
Colonel Morton has spent more than
5000 so far in defense of his pet. His
money has been paid out as follows:
