# Ir connection with this need there Is a
joke going around. II is either on the

May is well-equipped and dashing
young Indian girl. Carlisle. Pa, where In

refined and accomplished tutors Of civil

superintendent Carroll tolephoned to
Carlisle last Saturday for a teacher for
the Wyoming consolidated school Cnegro).
Shortly afterward May responded to the
telephone and also TO the application for
help. A Sunday train brought her TO wy
oming, and with her came rather hand
some Indian-Amerlcan, or rather an In
dan-Anglo Saxon. May and her escort
looked around and found that on Sunday
everybody hereabouts goes TO church. She
did likewise. Along toward evening her
escort got ready to say farewell and May
accompanied him to the station. Every
body eyed the dashing Indian soubrette,
the white men with much realistic per.
plexity and anxiety, the young negroes
with awe and embarrassment Meantime
May ascertained that the school assigned
to her was a large negro school,
When the last evening train pulled IN,
Mays escort stepped aboard the train. So
did May.
As the train whisked northward toward
PENIS Woods the handsome half-breed
who had paid the bin for long distance
calls from Carlisle TO Dover, raised her
dainty, beiewelled hand and shouted:

A Brand New Sleeve

The sleeves Of this coat were quite
new, says a chronicler of the modes.
They were as close fitting as coat
sleeves and extended to the hands.
They were shirred five times down the
outside-that is, there were four
shirred sections. each a half or three
quarters Of an inch wide. The fun
gathers went around the arms. and the
effect was OF much wrinkled NOUS
quetaire gloves. with the folds shirred
in at the back or the outside OF the
arm. At the bottom OF each sleeve
there was a band OF the shirred silk.
and an oval outlining a lace medallion
appeared on the upper half Of each
sleeve next the band. The sleeves were
very long. too. They did not extend 10
the knuckles, but they came a bit over
the hand.

NO INCOMPLETE CARS
Reading Company Will Not Handle
Cars That Are Not Thoroughly
Equipped.


Under date Of September %. the
Reading Railway has sent out the fol-
lowing notice:
Effective October 10. 1906, this COM
pany will not accept from connections
for movement over its lines cars not
equipped with air-hrakes or plped
through for air and agents must not
load cars to points beyond this system
unless so equipped.
when this order becomes effective,
agents and others interesting must ask
disposition for all non~air foreign cars
in hand"
Although the law requires that but
70 per cent Of the cars i'm a freight
train shall be equipped with air and
automatic couplers. the Reading is
probably better equipped IN that direc-
ton to-day than any other railroad
in the United States, as at the end Of
the fiscal year ended June 30. less than
per cent. Of its 40,70S freight cars
lacked the required safety appliances.
The company's officials have always
taken an advanced position in this
matter and even before the original
act. which required but so per cent.
Of air on freight trains instead OF 20
per cent, the company had most OF
its freight trains equipped with 20 per
cent air.

division, and that John Bucicalew was

he knew nothing about any change. 1t

the report. II is understood, however,
a superintendent for the Delaware

Paris Petticoats

A whole chapter might be written
about the new French silk petticoats
They're so pretty that exaggerated
skirt fittings win be quite excusable,
for what would be the use Of such
petticoat If no one saw IL?
Consider for instance, a petticoat of
sky blue silk, with a deep flounce of
blue net, embroidered in the loveliest
pink silk ribbon roses. The founce is
scalloped with little rulings of pinked
blue silk, and below it is a five-inch
ruftie Of white lace.
The use Of lace on the colored silk
skirts is very noticeable this season.
Even more prominent is the use Of
''pinked" silk rulings, put on in
swirls and scallops. and giving a fluffy
frou-frou to the sillken jupe. This pink
ed silk which is silk with thee dyes cut
in small points and left unfinished,
was once used a good deal. but has not
been seen for years.
Another revival in the striped petit
coat in brown and orange silk, black
and white, etc. These are. trimmed
with narrow rows of black velvet rib
bon.
Entire skirts Of lowered pompadour
silk are gay and Frenchified. Elk
tremely pretty too, are the pink petit
coats done all over in eyelet embro,d-
cry. and finished with buttonholed
scallop.
Along with the plaid fad comes petit
coats of vivid Scotch plaid silk, and
glimpses of these beneath a dark cloth
skirt will much add to sartorial piqu-
ancy.
But perhaps the newest petticoat
wrinkle is the padded jupe This is
already filled out in the hollows that

to pad in building a street skirt over II

Stopped the Growing

The husband who is always growing
over everything from his meals to his
laundry looked up from his paper and
remarked sulkily:
Madame. I see where a Chicago
man went from his home. remained
thirty years and then returned and
gave his wife $1,000. If you don't do
better you may find me doing the same
trick some day"
The patient little wife looked up
from her sewing and replied sweetly:
"All right, James. but IL you will only
remain away the thirty years you
needn't trouble yourself about the
$1,000" And after that he stopped
growing.

WATER COMMITTEE SUBMITTED
FINAL REPORT At MEETING
LAST NIGHT.

The annual meeting of the Walla
Walla Commercial club will be held to-
night at o'clock in the new headquar-
tiers in the Ransom building. Much in
terest is being taken in the meeting by
the members, and a large attendance is
expected. In addition to receiving the
annual reports of the officers a new
board of directors is to be elected. The
directors will also choose officers for
the club.
Today many of the members of the
club were busy trying to agree upon
the persons to be selected for directors,
but as no conclusion was reached the
election gives promies of being an in
teresting one.
The question of choosing president
and secretary seems to be the most i'm
portant subject to settle. Fred w.
Kaiser has been mentioned as a pos
sible candidate, while the friends of
Frank S. Dement, will probably propose
his name.
The officers of the club and the di-
rectors met last night and audited a
number of outstanding bills and pre-
pared everything for making an an
nual report to the club tonight.
