- Princeton was hfty years old on the
18th OF last April. Although the
actual date for celebrating the city's
jubilee is passed, why would it not be
appropriate to commemorate the city's
jubilee on Saturday evening, July 81,
with a:band concert and fireworks on
the court house square? Surely the
outlay in money would be returned
several fold in an increase of civic
pride. ~. :~. r. 70 IT,.

BAN on bare arms and a famine in
n long gloves are making the biggest
1 commotion in shopping circles
that has been seen for years. Glove puS-
ers and manufacturers are getting nervous
prostration. The women have it already;
but from their purchases in the State
street stores today 1t was learned that IN
this dilemma they are doing more than
wave their arms frantically. They are
purchasing children's silk stockings.
They cut off the feet and use the rest
of the stockings to piece out the gloves,
which from the base of the thumb to the
edge of what used to be called the wrist
of the glove are now twelve, SIXTEEN
twenty and twenty-four inches long.
The clerks in the glove department. at
one State street store today said they
were selling to many women who came in
demanding elbow length gloves ordinary
short ones, which the women then supple
ment with the stockings.
The women have simply gone crazy
about long Gloves" said one of the clerks.
"I,ve been fitting gloves for sixteen years
and l never saw anything like it,
Il used to have to fit them to fingers
and hands" she continued, but now l
have to fit them to arms, and oh, such
arms.'
Twenty-four twenty-hfths of the glove
demand this year is for the long gloves
as contrasted with one twenty-hfth year
ago at this time. Consequently, as the
orders for the spring and summer gloves
were placed at the factories last fall, the
busy little silk worm has not been able to
adjust itself to the change in woman's
fancy. 1t takes four times as many CO.
coons for an elbow-length glove as for
one that fits the Webster's definition of
a gloVe--name, "a cover for the hand,
or for the hand and wrist"
The girls who clerk in the leading State
street stores have received general orders
not to wear short-sleeved waists while
at work. Many of them are complying
with this rule by putting on attachable
sleeves after they remove their long
gloves on arriving at the stores.
But, anyway, it's fashionable to tuck
| long sleeves into long gloves" said one of
| them. so we don't mind that rule"
| There has been an advance of so per

| gloves. But the clamor for gloves-lone
gloves and short ones to be pieced-goes
on just the same.
The general scarcity of summer gloves
| follows in the wake of a dearth in long
kid gloves which has lasted through the

! fall when the demand for long gloves

the buyers for the glove department of
Mashall Field & Co. But any man who
would have predicted it was going to be
so overwhelming would have been re-
garded as out of his head.
THE old men in the business remember
when Yvette Gilbert came over here sew
eral years ago and introduced the long
gloves. They thought every one was go
ing TO wear them, and many remember
how they got stuck at that time. So
they were cautious"
A swing of the style pendulum away
from mannishness and toward the dis
tinctly feminine is regarded by Mr. Yates
as the real cause for the demand for long
gloves. He traces the short sleeves to
the golf links and the reigning desire a
few years ago to have golfy appear

HOW HE WON A FREE RIDE.
Hobo Thought Punching Better Than
Riding the Rods.

From the Houston Post.
A husky compound man of the hobo type
worked a new game upon Southern Pa
cifc passenger conductor the other night.
The man boarded the train at San An
tonic and took his seat in the forward
smoker and apparently sank into a deep
slumber. His SHORES resounded through
the car At intervals throughout the all
night ride to Houston the conductor, aided
by the trainman, tried to arouse him so
as to get his ticket They pounded him.
pulled his ears, his nose and jabbed him
all over the body with their fists. He
slept through it all, or at least he APP
peared to be asleep
Just as the train was pulling into the
Yards at Houston he cut short a snore.
reused himself, opened his eyes and sat
I'M in his seat The conductor was en-
tering the coach and saw that his trouble
some passenger was awake at last. With
out a word the conductor touched him
upon the arm and called for his ticket
The man felt through his pockets with a
sleepy air
"I'li declare l forgot to buy ticket"
he announced
.If YOU have no ticket you can pay
me the fare; it is $780, the conductor
said
The man looked UP at the conductor
and a smile spread over his face.
Say, you had lot of fun with me
last night; don't you think 1t was worth
S. 30 to you?" he asked.
Struck with the humor of 1t, the con-
ductor returned the smile of the man,
and said: "You earned the ride"
The conductor passed on, and the pas
senger alighted at the depot at Houston:
He carried no baggage. He was heard
to remark to a fellow hobo later in the
day that being punched around by con-
ductor felt better than "riding the rods"

II had Just topped a long incline and
was walking my pony, when, on coming
around a corner of the road, hidden by
some trees, l saw, seventy yards in front

patch OF burned grass, magnificent full

tail from side to side. He had short

red in the weak sunlight.
MY first sensation was one of astonish-
ment profound amaZement and delight
at seeing such a fine beast. He was a
beauty, and it seemed impossible to real
ize that he was really wild as he lay on
his side, looking at me with his head
raised as a dog does when he hears his
masters footstep. He was fat as but

Republicans who are worrying
about tariff reform should ponder
these words from President Roosevelt
expressed in a letter last week;
1--WE stand unequivocally for pro-
tective tar a, and we feel that the
phenomenal industrial prosperity
which we are now enjoying is not
lightly to be jeopardizedi for 1t would
be to the last degree to secure here
and there small benefit at the cost
Of general business. But whenever a
Oiyen rate or schedule becomes eVi-
IDENTIFY disadvantageous to the nation
because Of the changes which go on
from year to year in our conditions
and where it is feasible to change this
rate or schedule without too much
dislocating Of the system, II will be
done; while general revision OF the
rates and schedules will be under
taken whenever it shall appear to the
sober business sense OF our people
that on the whole the benefits to be-
derived from making such changes,
will outweigh the disadvantages that
is. when the revision will do more
good than harm. Let me add one;
word Of caution, however.
1.-THE question of revising the tariff
stands wholly apart from the queS-
ton Of dealing with the SO called
.trusts'-that IL, with the control OF
monopolies and with the supervision
Of great wealth in business especially
in corporate form. The only way in
which it is possible to deal with those
trusts and monopolies and this great
corporate wealth is by action along
the line Of the laws enacted by the
present congress and its immediate
predecessors. The cry that the prob
lem can be met by any changes in the
tariff represents, whether consciously
or unconsciously, an effort to divert
the public attention from the only
method Of taking effective action"
