Pale Mulls Will Be Worn with Coat
Suits-0ood Old Plain Shirt
Waist Returns. ,

Colored mulls and Paris muslins are
to be worn and they will be hand-em-
broidered in white and trimmed with
white lace and footing. writes Annie
RittenhOuse. They will be worn with
coat suits of the same color and are
much prettier than white blouses over
colored Innings. which have been given
a black eye this season by this abuse Of
them.
All sorts of cheap gaudy Innings were
worn under all manner Of white blOuses
at places and on occasions which called
for much less ornate dressing.
There is a wide return, by the way, to
the plain shirt-waists of four years ago
modified and greatly affected by the
lingerie blouse. They are made Of the
undressed linen which does not wrinkle,
and OF dimity and c~rossbarred muslins.
They are put into tiny box plaits with
out stitching and depend for their DAM
tiness on a tiny frill of dotted footing
down each edge OF the front box plait
and at the edge OF the wide turnover
cuffs which are fastened together at the
back.
Plain folded stocks or turnover m
broidered linen collars are worn with
the new dusty blue pink and violet four.
finland ties of soft, corded silk.
When these are made of thin white
or cream summer flannels there should
be some slight hand-embroidery in
white floss or in dull blue or pink tapes
try colors. The latter is quite lovely
and very expensive when sold in the
shops, yet every woman could do 1t at
home. It Is merely the novelty thaS
makes the price.

Place,

Judge Brewer Is responsible for the
following: AN amusing thing took
place In Washington In connection with
the supreme court last winter. There
was a young man In the courtroom who
was talking out loud, making a little
confusion. and n of the old colOrsd
bailiffa went in and led him out and
said. Young man, you want to come
out and be still. That Is the supreme
court of the United States In there! Ie
they get after you nobody In the world
could help you out! Nobody could helm
you-except the Almighty-and tht
chances are He won't interfere!"

down to raid the plantation she could
crawl in a hole out Of sight till tho
dogs had eaten some OF the men. She
came near fainting right there. before
the dogs got busy.
There were about 90 negroes throw
ing clubs at the nuts, and everybody
was having a big time. The trapeze
performers we're squirreling up among
the limbs, when suddenly, in the dis
lance, came the bay OF the pack of
bioodhounds, and every negro turned
rale. and got ready to csmb a tree.
The planter stopped to listen. and when
enc of the managers Of the show asked
him what was the matter, he said:
; You can search me. sab. II that Is
my pack of hounds, q crime has been
committed. and the sheriff has start

guilty OF crime, you best get scarce, OF

'cm all right, 30 We put up a Job
to have some fun. The boy gave me
some anise seed, and told me to put
1t on the shoes of anybody I wanted
trailed, and after they got out in the
woods he would put the hounds on
the trail, and the people would have
to get up trees, or have their pants
chewed, but the dogs would not hurt
anybody.
Well, 1t made me laugh to think
about 1t. I went to pa. and told him
his shoes were all covered with rel
Virginia dust, and I took my hand
kerchief and busted them of, and
made him hold up his foot like a horse
that is being shod. Then I put a
end in his shoes. He said 1t was
mighty kind in me to do it. Then ]

dust on his shoes, and put two hand

ave her feet a dose Of anise seed that
ought to have p~aralyzed a pack OF

let me kiss her, but l said I passed,
and she said she would do as much for
me some time.
About this time the planter took tho
lead, and they all went across a pas

thought 1t would bring back old recol-
lections to him and give us n taste of
country life in the south II he invited
all of us, performers, managers, freaks,
and everything, to spend the day on
his plantation, and go nutting for
chestnuts and hickory nuts, pick apples
and run them through a cider mill and
drink self-made cider, and have a good
time.
We all appreciated the invitation,
and after breakfast we rode out in the
country to his plantation in carriages
and express wagons and began to do
the plantation. The fat lady ant the
midgets rode out together In a load Of
cotton, and when they got to the house
they had to be picked, like ducks, and
they looked as though they had been
tarred and feathered.
The planter gave us a fine luncheon
OF fried chicken and corn pone, and
cider, and pa acted as the boss Of the
circus folks, while the planter and his
family, with about 100 negroes, passed
things around. They all seemed to be
interested in seeing how much stuff
the fat lady n the giant could hold
without putting UP sidebOards to keep
the food from falling off. II pa hadn't
told the negroes not to feed the fat
lady and the giant any more, there
would have been two circus funerals
the next day.
l got acquainted with a boy that was
the planters son. and while the rest
were eating and drinking the boy
showed me a pack OF hounds that are
kept for trailing criminals and negroes
who have looked sassy at white wom-
en-. The trouble with negroes is that
they all look alike, and IL one COM
mits a crime they can prove an alibi,
cause every last negro will swear that
at the time the crime was committed
the suspected man was attending a
prayer meeting, so they have TO have
hounds that can be taken to the place
where the crime was committed, and
they find the negro's track, and they
follow II till they tree him. The
hounds do not bite the negro, like We
used to hear about. but they Just fol-
low him TIL he Is freed. and then they
bark, as much as to say: "Ah, there,
Mr.. Niger, you just stay where you
are till the sheriff comes to fetch
you and Mr.. Negro just turnE pale
handful Of anise seed around the sole.
and he stays on a limb till the
sheriff comes with his lynching tools
When the sheriff pulls a gun the
g confesses right there, and the
deputy sheriff brings the rope.

trail a white man without hurting

EXERCISE FOR THE HANDS
A Supple Wrist u Very Desirable
How It Il Attained by the
Actresses.

One Of Delsarte's prime iples In tie
cultivation of the beauty of the hand,
is the training o: the wrist to be
supple. In every gesture, the wrist
leads the hand. The arm Is lifted
first. then the wrist, and finally the
hand but. Of course. the movements
are so we'll blended that the looker-On
does not define tho phases. The first
step in training the wrist Is to relax
the hand and that is accomplished
by shaking the hands at the end Of
the wrist as II they were perfectly
limp. That Is Il difficult thing and
is called in schools Of gesture. de.
dents are obliged to learn this lesson

HIMSELF THE SUCKER.
Grand Forks Man Loads Cigar With
Fire Cracker and Then Smokes It,
Himself.

"Hits and Mrs." in the Walsh Coun-
ty Record: A Grand Forks man whose
name we will not mention at this time
or day after tomorrow, had little ex-
perience the other day with loaded
cigar, which kicked back like an ugly
mule in fly time. After working two
hours inserting fire cracker in the
cigar, he labored industriously for four
days trying to pass it off on a particu-
lar friend, but the friend did not seem
to care about smoking. From contin-
ual handling the cigar began to show
signs of broken health; the wrapper
was pealing of and it assumed the ex-
preston of a hens foot. While in this
condition it occurred to the man that
he wanted to smoke and he fished out
the tobacco cartridge and after mend
ing few leaky joints and taking up
the slack in the innocent wrapper,
raised in South Dakota lit 1t up and
leaned back in his chair to enjoy a few
whtffs of consoling smoke. About two
was all he got when the report came
and tobacco and smoke filled he air

marks from the man, who had intended
to have little explosion of powder
and laughter at his friends expense,

the minutes read and corrected the fire

THRIFTY JAPS
Dacotah Bell Hop Saves $500
From Tips for q Trip to
Fatherland.
II wonder where Jack is?"

Il wonder where Jack is?"
Probably forty or fifty of the Hotel
Dacotah patrons have asked that ques-
ton during the past two or three days.
BY Jack" they mean Jack Marugame.
the little Jap bellhop who has answer
ed the beck and call of guests of the
Dacotah for the past year and half.
Jack gave the management notice of
intention to leave last Saturday and is
now employed at one of the leading ho-
tells in Havre Montana. His boon COM
panion and countryman, George Kan
isnasa, who Is at present operating the
elevator but who, within the next two
years expects to complete course in
surgery and medicine, remained here.
Jack, during the period of his employ
ment saved an even $500 from the tips
he received. He expects to return to
his native heath in the Flowery King
dom next summer.
George Kanisnasa is the son of a
Japanese nobleman who is we'll to do
but the young fellow, like many others
in Japan, is anxious for rub with the
outside world. During his three-year
stay In the United States he has not
only learned to write and read we'll,
but has completed the equivalent of
two years study in medicine and surg
cry. He expects before long to go to
Los Angeles to visit an older brother
who owns large fruit ranch and who,
by the way, is at present laid up in
hospital as a, result of an injury sus-
tanned the day of the big San Francisco
earthquake when brick loosened by
the shock fell from two-story build
ing on Los Angeles street striking
him on the head and cutting a deep
cash.
The young men of the Mikado's
realm are exceedingly bright and very
rapid in the art Of learning the ways
of this country. Jack Marugame when
he left this city had come to be some-
thing out of the ordinary as billiard
and pool player.

Sure Way to Get Bait.

The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected promising
spot, a shady and low-lying dell, but
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes not single worm had
his spade turned up.
Here. sonny" said an old angler,
take this chunk of soap and make
me quart or two of soapsuds."
The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkled them over the ground,
and then he in turn began to dig. It
was amazing. Here where the boy
before had not found single worm
the old man now discovered them in
dozens.
"You can find worms most any
where, sonny" said the old man, III
you wet the ground with soapsuds
first. The sOapsuds draws them, the
same as molasses draws flies. A weak
