with figures in bronze. 1t, too. played
its part in the inner history of Napo-
leon,c enterprise. In one OF its draw
ers the emperor kept his military
plans, with. 1 dare say. his precious
scheme for the invasion of England.
1t is said that, sitting at this bureau,
Napoleon prepared his great campaign
of 1905. which concluded with the vic
tory of AuSterlitz. Before the desk
stands the arm chair that the great
captain used, so that you have the
feeling that this is a real trophy Of
the Understanding of the 'atmos-
phere" Of Malmaison.
After the Napoieonic dispatch box
the next most Fascinating object is the
harp upon which Josephine played, and
with which, doubtless. in the early
days of the courtship. she charmed
the ears of the young lieutenant OF
artillery. Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t is a
pathetic object. Some five or six OF
its strings are gone-a fact eloquent
is il not. of the broken melody OF
Josephine's life?-and the stars and
bees of the decoration have also in
part disappeared.

FRANK THOMPSON ON
TIE CHIT SYSTEM

THE chit system in the Orient Is
/ have ever run across in my life,
said Attorney Frank e. Thompson the
other day. He recently returned from
a trip to Japan and had ample oppor-
tunitv to investigate it's merits and
denerits.
"A chit is simply card you sign
when you contract a little bill, say over
the bar. at hotel. cafe. or almost
any place. When you go to city In
Japan or along the Asiatic coast, you
are known pretty we'll to those VINO
take care of US all when we need some
body TO care for us until we are able to
lcok out for ourselves again. The Of
ficers of the law know whole lot
about us when once We land among
them.
When you buy something at the
places I have mentioned, they gener-
allv ask YOU to sign chit. They don't
like 70 take your money. That's left
for incidental expenses. Then at one
time or another they assemble these
.chits' and you pay the whole bill at
once. You can't get out of the coun-
try until you pay your last chit SO IL
ut to YOU There's no comeback. Inc
chit system, in one way, is money
maker to those who are engaged IN
taking the cards in. It's like giving
unlimited credit to a man, and he gen.
orally goes the limit, which he wouldn't
go if he had to pay out cash in each
instance he made a purchase.
"a fellow can easily get beyond MS
reach under this system. The receivers
of .chits' undoubtedly make more money
out of the chit system, even though
they eventually lose on some of their
customers. than If they had required
% sl, foY. each transa ction."

La Malmaison! How the name speaks
of the old times of the empire. 1t was
in this charming property, close TO

Mime. Bonaparte stayed, and ii was
here that Josephine. the repudiated
empress. lived surrounded by a few
friends She kept sort of court here,

EVENING COLLARS OF JEWELS
Made of Red or Pink Corals and OF
CRYSTAL Beads.

Many dog collars are now worn, ana
/ am not alluding to collars OF pearls.
which are truly precious jewels, but
which many women lack from their
box OF ornaments.
Among the prettiest OF the fancy
collars at an approachable price / may
mention the collars OF bright red coral.
which are worth from $40 to $50; those
OF the pale pink coral easily run to $40
and $50 and at this figure one can
hardly place them on the list OF the
fancy Jewels Very pretty are the col
lars of turquoise blue beads mounted
In several strands and sustained by al
most invisible bars OF gilded metal or
by berries incrusted with similh an al
10y of zinc and copper which initiates
gold These cost from S10 to SIG.
A really stunning novelty is the col
lar OF crystal beads. which are irr,des-
cent In the electric light, and which by
their flashing variegations may match
dresses OF any color. These cost from
$40 to SIS.
Jet dog collars are suitable for ma
irons, and finally. a most becoming
collar for a young woman is a hit Of
tulle wound around the neck and hav-
ing light ornament fastened In the
full bow behind, All these, evening col
lars have one advantage In common
they hide the marks left too often up
on a woman's throat by the starched
collars worn In the daytime.

TORONTO. Ont, May I-There are to
be no more deliveries of Ice cream and
such dainties on Sundays in Toronto. If
fashionable society must have Ice cream
and the culinary creations OF the chefs
who are accustomed to cater for them on
the Sabbath, they Will have the goods de-
lirered on Saturday nights. The police
have been ordered by Chief De La Ronde
to report all cases OF Sunday deliveries
that prosecutions may be started under
the laws prohibiting Sunday labor.
Not Necessary Labor.
The preparation OF ice cream and other
delicacies that form a leading feature Of
the Sunday tables OF many society people

PROVO, May l7.-Considerable excite
ment was caused this morning by two
gangs of railroad men opposing each 9TH

far when a force of men from the Rio

fast as a tie or rail was laid by the San
Pedro men IL would be thrown TO one side
by the Rio Grande forces.
Trouble Was Feared.
For a time 1t looked as though the men
would come to blows. but wiser counsel
prevailed and the men were persuaded TO
fight II out in Il tuS-of-war fashion
The San Pedro men would gather up Il
rail to lay IL in place. and the Rio Grande
