SOME HALLOWEEN
FAVORS EASILY MADE.

Given some pumpkin -colored tissue
paper, with a few sheets Of green paper
for leaves. some cotton wadding a pot OF
paste and more or less ingenuity and one
can turn out the most attractive favors
for the Halloween party that Ia dear TO
children Of all ages and sizes.
As the keynote for Halloween decora-
tions the pumpkin is certainly the whole
thing. but so many variations can be
rung on the festive vegetable In NUMBER
Gus guises that the pumpkin favors are
not likely to be monotonous.
Pretty little place cards that are the
easiest thing In the world to make are
fashioned Of cardboard cut In the shape
OF a pumpkin. One side Is covered with
yellow paper, with a strip OF green at
the stem. and the other Is left bare Tor
the name and an appropriate quotation.
Candy boxes In the shape OF perfect
little pumpkins are made by padding the
top OF the round box with cotton, pastins
yellow paper over II and twisting the
paper at the top into the form OF stem,
which is covered with green paper and
has two leaves attached. The pumpkin
Is transferred into 1ach-o lantern py
pasting on It eyes, nose and hideousy
wide mouth cut out OF black paper.
Fayors for the small boys are horns
and whistles in pumpkin garments. The
little horns are used as the foundation
around which the cotton batting is wound
TO make the jack O. Lanterns. The small
end of the horn forms the stem and tho
large end is Of course left open.
Pumpkin blossoms easily made OF two
shades OF yellow paper have the niue
whistles for stems and form most fasoln-
a ting little favors The blossoms are
also used as Ice cream cups, The paper
is nssted around one OF the little huteo
Guns which serves as foundation Tor
the blossom. while the cup which holds
the ice cream is set inside OF the hrst
one.
For the girls favors In the shape OF
witches NAV be made with the little
china dolls that cost a few cents each.

vile legislature for the benefit of the Perry trac-
ton company, legislature under which that law
defying corporation now claims perpetual fran
chises in the public thoroughfares.
Did Mayor Dyer the chief executive of the
state and as loyal citizen of Providence make
any attempt to prevent the consummation of such
outrage and robbery? He did not.
II was while he senator that Mayor Dyer
aided in passing the amended ballot law,
sought by Braytonism a means OF dis
couraging and disfranchsing independent voters
Whose orders was he obeyng when he gave his
support to that mischievous measure, if not those
of Braytonism?
For an entire session Mayor Dyer sat in the
senate as the representative of Providence, yet
what did the city gain by his service? Absolutely
nothing.
He knew the grossly unfair and inadequate rep
resentation given this city in the law making body
under the present archaic and un-American
constitution. and how did he attempt to remedy
such injustice?
BY voting in favor of a proposed constitutional
amendment, by which Providence would have been
gerrymandered into assembly districts that this
normally Democratic city would have been trans
formed into Republican stronghold, while the
citizens, to whose interests Mayor Dyer processes
such deep and unfaltering devotion, would have
been robbed of the right to vote for all assembly
men and would have been restricted to voting for
senator and one representative
That Braytonsm's answer to the demand
ton, and Senator Dyer supported it because Bray
tonsm so ordered. Here the thoughtful citizens
have significant indication of the measure and
quality of Mayor Dyers devotion their interests.
He would aid Braytonism in barefaced gerry
mander and in robbing their ballots of almost all
their power and efficacy, and yet he has the effron
cry to pose independent of Braytonisms dicta-
ton.
The people of this municipality were despoiled
in 1901 by Braytonsm's subservient legislature of
the right of home rule, when state appointed
police commission was fastened upon it for the
purpose of making the police department an active
and aggressive agency of Braytonism.
During his entire service senator did Mayor
Dyer attempt to have honored the insistent demand
of the people for the restoration of that hched
right? He did absolutely nothing because Bray
tonism decreed that nothing should be done.
No fair-minded citizen can review Mayor
Dyers public without reaching the convic-
ton that so far achieving anything in the inter-
ests of the people is concerned it has been posi-
lively barren and impotent
On the other hand such review reveals Mayor
Dyers readiness to aid .Braytonsm's schemes
against the peoples welfare, and it establishes be-
yond question the falsity of his assertion that he
is not subservient to Braytonism.

Duel With Baseba!Is.

From the San Francisco Argonaut
 A Frenchman challenged an American to fight. The American, a husky six footer from Yale, who had pitched on the baseball team and stroked the crew, was 10th to accept. and took the mat ter as something of joke. The Count pressed his desire for satisfaction, and at last the son of 'Old EI'' consented to meet him, stipulating that he should choose his own weapons. Seconds were agreed upon, and the mode of combat chosen by the American was baseballs at twenty paces. It was dangerously close range for a man who had spent three years twirling inshoot and out drops over twelve inch plate and likely ball; but the Frenchman was game, and they met on the outskirts of the city at daybreak
 Each was to have three shots, and tho Count won the toss and thereby the prlvi- iege of leading off. Perhaps he had never seen a baseball before, and at any rate the man from Yale had no difficulty in dodging the adamantine sphere which the son of Belle France sent scaling in his direction.
 Then the American opened fire. The first ball grazed the Frenchmans should err the second lodged in the pit of his stomach and the third. an inshoot. caught him full on the point of the chin. He went down and out, and never challenged another American citizen.
