DREW LINE ON TROUSERS.
Plous Mahometans Would Not Let
Sons Wear European Garments.

Many Of the chiefs in the protecto-
rate of Gambia wish to have their
sons educated in the new Mahometan
school of that region; but there was
a bar to their full enjoyment of the
education they were likely to receive,
says a writer in the Tailor and Cut
ter. The pious Mahometan papas were
afraid that the wearing of modern
trousers was part of the school curric'
ulum, and therefore they viewed the
school with peculiar suspicion. The
governor of Gambia reports that the
parents have been assured that their
children will not be converted into
"trouser men," and the prospects OF
the school are now very bright.
1t would be interesting to learn
how this suspicion of the modern
neither covering arose, and whether
the dry goods merchants denied the
natives their ordinary material. But
it may be interesting to recall the fact
that the British government forbade
H"ighlanders to wear the kilt for some
years after the battle of Culloden.
However, the government were in a
tight corner during their continental
wars, and they were glad to raise sew.

DISHONEST METHODS
BY THE DEMOCRATS,

The following press dispatch, sent
out from the Cheyenne Leader office,
shows to what dishonest methods the
democratic party Is STOPPING. The dis
patch says that accusations of graft
in the state administration have been
made" the correspondent knowing
them false when he sent them out and
knowing that they had been disproven
long before the present state commit
tee undertook the work of carrying on
such a campaign:
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 3.-In Wyo-
ming the campaign has been short,
but the democrats have made an ag-
gressive fight IN reform lines, attack
ing the republican organization on
economic propositions, such as under
valuation of railroad property, giving
away of valuable water rights, and
dominance of corporations. ACCUSE
tons of graft in the state administra-
ton have also been made"

LIGHT HOME WORK GOOD.
A Physician Says Girls Should Be
Given Household Duties.

That schoolgirls should help their
mothers with the homework, and in
cidentally take care of their own
clothes and learn to cook simple
dishes during the fall and winter sea-
son, is the opinion Of a prominent
physician, who believes that a certain
number of home duties give a balance
to the lives of these pupils and help
to keep them in a normal mental and
physical condition.
Girls, whether or not their parents
can afford to keep servants, should be
taught when young to do h~ousework,
and there is no better time for them
to learn than between the ages of s
and IA, when they are in school, he
says. THE home duties should not
be arduous ones, such as tire them
after studying during the day, but
light work hat is recreation, as, for
instance, busting the bureaus and
furniture in their own rooms, arrang-
ing their clothing in order on closet
hooks or laying them carefully folded
in drawers. Mothers should be care
full that the girls do not push or pull
heavy pieces of furniture that might
strain the muscles in their backs or
arms, and should not permit them to
sweep carpets or do any of he real
hard work. A certain number OF
hours must be devoted to play after
school closes each day, and every
parent should see to it that the girls
in the family have regular exercises in
the open air"

County Attorney Downey this morn

Food company for $3.50, being the
mount of the fine and costs assessed
against that company in one of the

county, netting something like 5000 or
$500 in fines. Fifteen have paid fines.

Kansas City.-Miles ]. Farris and
jules M. Farris, born 80 years ago, on
coming of age made twin sisters their

Jiles expressed 1t recently.

side prevailed, for one day a petition
for divorce was filed by Jiles M.
against Martha A. Farris, and on the
following morning an attorney ap-
peared at the county court house with
a petition for a divorce for Miles j.
Farris from his wife, Attic Farris.
Both petitions set forth desertion as
the cause for seeking legal separation
and both charges show jealousy on the
part of the wives, which, it is alleged,
made life ~intolerable for the hus-
bands.
Both women are in Louisiana, Mo.

Dentistry BY Proxy.

There are plenty of men, said a
Washington dentist, who work what
we call the proxy dodge. They'll visit
a dentist and tell him that a friend of
theirs has such and such the matter
with his teeth and ask all sorts Of
questions as to what can be done to
such teeth in a dental way. OF course,
no dentist can tell anything about the
requirements of teeth needing atten-
ton until he looks at them, but the
proxy players are an insistent lot,
their main point being to find out in
that roundabout way just bow much
pain there is going to be Involved in
the work on their own teeth, suppos-
ing they muster up the nerve to have
that work started"
