Both the contending factions in Cuba
seem disposed TO yield ready obedience to
United States authority. The armed
forces are being mustered out and return
ing to their homes. Only little friction
and delay are reported. About 1000 Amer
lean troops have been landed in all so far.
So general is the acquiescence that no
more troops may be despatched at least
until there seems real need of their pres
ence. Secretary Taft hopes 10 be able Ia
leave Havana this week, turning over the
provisional governorship to Charles E
Magoon. late of the Panama zone, who
will be his successor.

As a result OF the first law passed by

set in motion the machinery that is to
make the Burlington Rendering company
produce before the Chittenden county
grand jury such of its books and papers
as may be needed to throw light upon the
diseased meat scandal now being invest-
gated. A subpoena for the production Of
these papers has been issued by the Chit
tenden county court and. as provided in
the law, has been served upon Secretary
of State Frederick G. Fleetwood. The SER
vice was made Wednesday night by
Deputy Sheriff c. G. Quinn, of Burlington.

The report signed by three members of

pursuant to a vote directing the three
to make a statement to the voters OF the

the contrary are untrue, and are circu-

pear that II was the statement of only
those whose names appear.
1t is only a sample of the misrepresenta-

in regard to a question which so vitality
affects the interest of the public. and IN

should always be stated.

The Drinking Habit.

Everybody around Eureka Springs car
ries a bottle with handle attached to its
neck by wires and nobody ever passes
spring without stopping for a drink. There
are, forty-fiYe medicinal springs within the
city limits. most of them walled UP with
stone and surrounded by benches where
the inyalids can rest and sit in the sun,
and | fancy that the air and sunshine of
the OzarkSe ar quite as much responsible
for tho remarkable cures they brag o here
Horseback riding is the popular diversion.
Automobiles are impossible and few places
can be reached by carriage because the
roads are so bad. At present the idea is
to make uD parties and ride ten fifteen
miles on horseback over the mountains to
farnhouses for chicken dinners"
The hills are full of springs. and it Is
curious that some should be impregnated
with minerals while others beside them are
absolutely pure. The water of one is mag
netic, and if you drop piece of iron or a
knife into it for an hour or two, 1t viii
become magnetfZed so that you can pick
up needle or pin.
A Prophetic Spring.
The most singular phenomenon is found
in the residence OF Mr.. F. n. Latin, pro-
prietor of Basin Spring Hotel. The cellar
ia fieored with concrete, but there are crew
ices about an inch or so wide around tho
bottom of the posts that support the stairs.
and always two or three days before a
storm the water begins TO coze out OF
them gaining in quantity until the floor Is
flooded. When the storm subsidies the wa
ter ceases to flow. They call 1t the Ba-
rorneter spring" but nobody seems to have
any explanation of this curious freak of
nature although IL is believed that the
pressure of the atmosphere upon the earth
has something to do with 1t.
There are several very large springs in
tho locality. and the largest is known as
Roaring River spring, although It does
not roar. The oracles say that tx used to
make a terrible noise, and that many years
ago there was u great convulSi5a of nature

GOOD METHOD FOR SKIRTS.
Simple and Effective Way of Arrans.
ing the Tucks.

There Is a simple way to save fu-
ture trouble in finishing the bottom of
skirts for young people from tots to
half grown girls. 1t is better than
letting out tucks in the usual way
when the plain spaces usually come in
the wrong place.
With this plan, which may be used
whether there are or are not other
tucks, the tuck is laid directly over
the hem, making practically two hens,
which, after being pressed, have the
appearance of one.
AS in all things, there is simple
and easy way to accomplish it, the
way in this case being to turn the
lower edge Of the goods back and
forth in three folds. First. turn under
the tiny raw edge on the bottom of
the skirt and then turn under the hem
two and half inches deep, which
makes the first fold Double this back
on the right side the same distance,
creasing the second fold. The three
layers OF the cloth are then turned
back under again, which creases it the
third time. This forms tuck directly
over the hem. When ready to stitch
turn the tuck up and stitch twice, put
ting one row of machining under and
one over the middle crease.
When ready to let the dress down,
rip out the top stitching and the hem
Is ready and undisturbed.

About Furnishing.

The woman of moderate means will
do well to insist upon simplicity in
her furnishings, particularly if her
house is very small or if she must ac-
tcommodate herself to a few rooms.
Let all that she buys be the best of it's
kind, even if very simple, and let her
avoid much carved wood work, par
tieu1arly if she must do her own dust
ing.
This is one of the greatest charms
about the so-ealled mission" fIrni-
ture. 1t presents a good appearance
and does not require much painful and
intricate brushing and ehamoising.
It is much better to have q room
fairly bare of furniture for while
than to crowd it with a lot of odd
pieces which do not suit it, and re-
quire much care at housekeeping
times.
The woman who learns that coziness
does not necessarily mean a crowded
look has made a great stride in in
terror decorating.
