~ UEER things in furs ara now
cropping out at the fashionable
N furriers that suggest a mid
winter madness on the part of
the furriers IL the craze for something
novel is permitted to- go on TO its
legitimate conclusion.
One of these very odd things proudly
displayed as a prize possession of one
of the most exclusive and expensive
shops was a muff made of gray wool
lace, embroidered with cut steel and
silk and trimmed with chinchilla- The
mum was rather fiat and of medium
size. The wool lace formed the upper
part and the chinchilla the lower part.
coming up also on each side Of the
nun to the top. A chinchilla collar
decorated with the lace accompanied
the muff. An economical way to patch
out an old chinchilla muff. one would
say, but otherwise there hardly seems
to be any excuse for running the beauty
Of fur by such patchy elaboration. Ger
tainly when the distressingiy high
price was taken into consideration one
would prefer at least to do the patch
ing at home II 1t were necessary.
Another odd fur fashion which has
cropped out this season Is carried out in
moleskin or other short-haired furs
The mum Is made of rows of diamond
shaped tabs There are about ten rows
Of the tabs in the entire circumference
Of the mum. The points are down and
the rows of tabs horizontal. Each row
Of tabs sets smoothly over the other.
The collar also was made entirely Of
tabs.
Strange commingiing Of furs In also to
be noticed this winter. One muff at q
most exclusive furrier's was made Of
mink, with an ermine overpisce and a
mink piece over this. The nun was
nat, with ruffes Of the mink at the
ends. Then over the side which was
to be carried out was q large piece OF
ermine fully half ~ large as the nun,
pointed at the top and spreading out
in . fan shape at the bottom. This
simply gave the effect Of being plas-
tered on the mum. without design or
reason.
Over tho ermine again was . band Of
mink encircling the mum and crossing
tho ermine piece vertically. Far less
beautiful than plain mink or O plain
ermine mum. this creation was more
than twice as expensive as either
would have been, for not only was an
Unnecessary amount of rich fur used.
but the exclusive design was consid-
cred by the furrier to be worthy Of IN

John Ill His father was John So
bieski. who lost his life in 1913 in the
great Polish rebellion.
He says one of his earliest recol-
lections Of childhood is OF a sleigh
ride and the gay trappings of a Cos
sack soldier who conveyed his mother
and himself to say goodby to his father
about to be executed.
His father had been captured by the
Russian army and had been confined
in vile Russian prison, crawling with
vermin, for thirteen months.
Before they were allowed TO see the
doomed husband and father, the young
mother was taken before the Russian
viceroy, who offered to allow her to
retain her estates and honors If she
would give up her son--the last So
bieslSi-to be sent TO the Russian cap
ital and there brought UP as a loyal

peror of Mexico. They took refuge
in England at last. The mother died
and the son was adopted into the fam
fly OF a Polish professor. who had
been an instructor at the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis. When
the United States ships of war visited
Liverpool the cadets used to visit their
old professor. One OF them persuaded
young Sobieski to stow away In the
old frigate Constellation and come to
America.
He was then only a little fellow
twelve years old. but managed to enlist
in the United States army as a bugler.
He enlisted IN 1855, and two years
afterward was ordered out with the
troops that went the desperate journey
across the plains to force the Nor
mons to abandon polygamy.
Many Of the young officers under
whom he served on that expedition
afterward became famous In the Civil
War-Geuerai Albert Sidney Johnston,

TEN TON DAILY
The Average G. N. Mail While
Insurgents Were Mailing
Literature.

Orders have been received in Grand
Forks to cease mail weighing at the
Great Northern depot. For the past
three months crew Of inspectors, one
man to every train, has been engaged
in keeping daily track of the guam
tity of mail carried by the Great North
ern. This was done for the purpose
of establishing an average upon which
to figure the annual contract by and
between the Great Northern and the
government for carrying the mail. W.
o. German of this city, one of the in
spectors, informs the Evening Times
that the average amount of mail car
ried out of this city was from seven
to ten tons daily or from $4,000 to
10000 pounds. During the period at
ter the insurgents first began sending
out their literature. the mail on No.
5 alone averaged from 1900 to 1900
pounds. During the past week, how
ever, the average has not exceeded
700 to 800 pounds. The eight weigh
ers who have been employed locally
will not be needed longer.
