Troubles Of a Heavy Weight.

4 most amusing incident happened
the other morning on the east bound
Santa Fs Overland just before the train
pulled into Coils. In some unaCcount-
able manner staid old German OF
huge glrth aud large uvoirdupois had
tucked himself away the night before
in an upper berth. Morning came and
no undertook tho tHsk Of getting his
huge person properly clothed. Tho
best he could do wus 10 get his trousers
pulled up as far as his knees and then
no tackled hls shirt.
BET! Went his pudgy fist against tho
sido Of the berth. Bang! Ilis head
struck the roof. DonnerblilzeD! roared
the enragcd man, and hall the car, in.
cluding the porter, came running to h,s
assistance. Steps wore brought and tho
porter encouraged tho enrngcd mnn to
descend to more roomy quarters.

Marshal Sanders last week learned
of the investigation being made, and
went to the solicitor for information,
desiring to suspend the officer if
there was any probability of charges
being made.
The solicitor, however, could not
give any definite answer at the time,

he secured yesterday morning. and
Nichols remained in the department

the outside world the important fact
that we have here the cream of all

cool that we have few sunStrokes or
fatal heat attacks, and that we really
have as fine summer climate as the
world knows; that our summer re-
sorts hold delightful rest and recre-

of Mackinaw or Bar HarbOr, and
that our claims of owning a location
where we have freedom from severity
of heat during the summer months,

fall. and oysters and the finest fish
the world knows all the season
through. Aside from the many ad-
vantages OF being where some eatable

99''PROM|SED
FOR FRIDAY
Four Entries in Class A for
the Friday Afternoon
Matinee.
LESLIE WATERMAN AND JOHN S.
ARRIVE FROM MOBILE, AND
ARE ENTERED IN THIS CLASS
WITH KING RANGE AND JACK.

What promises to be the most in.
| teresting of the many Friday after
noon races under the auspices of the
| Pensacola Driving Association is that
| of the coming Friday, when a num-
Der of visiting horses, as well as local
animals not heretofore seen on the
track, will be entered. Last night
| there were entries of a number of
fast animals, two of them coming
| from Mobile, and it is anticipated that
the races will be superior to those
| witnessed when the Montgomery ami
mails were here.
The Class A Race.
The race between the horses in
class A will be the interesting event
of the afternoon. In this class four
fast horses are entered. Two of them
arrived yesterday from Mobile, and
were taken to the track to be trained
until friday
Leslie Waterman, a SOrrel gelding,
owned by Schwartz & Foley of Mo
bile. with a record of 200 is one of
the entries. This horse was on the
Western Circuit last year with Black
lock and other famous PAGERS. and is
backed by Mobilians to be the win
ner Another fast PAGER from Mobile
is John s., owned by the same parties.
This animal has a record of 2:19.
Two locally owned animals have
been entered in this class. One is
Jack, owned by W. J. Forbes. This
horse has never been seen on the
local track, but has a record of about
2:15, while King Range, owned by
Capt T e. Welles, is the other entry.
The latter in recent races on the
local track made fast time, defeating
a number of fast animals with good
track records.
Other Classes
In Glass 3. there have been entered
Sweetheart. Flora B., Lady Hancock
and The Judge, while in class c. there
are The Kid Bay Charlie and Some

1t is probable that an automobile

make forty miles an hour. will De an
additional attraction. The Driving
Association is now arranging this
event. which promises to be one of
the interesting events of next Friday
afternoon.

COFFEE COAT A
USEFUL GARMENT.

The mission of the coffee coat Is
to give one garment for dressy
wear in the house. And the woman
who is clever will provide herself
with half dozen to wear in case of
emergency. In the summer time such
a coat is positively priceless, for it
can be worn with ones old waists
and odd skirts, and it has the merit
Of always looking dressed up. In
case of a sudden call, one can dash
into ones coffee coat and cone into
the drawing-room looking cool and
we'll dressed. So much for the IA
nous little coat, which is holding
the whole of fashionable London in
its spell.
Perhaps, If you want to be very
fine indeed, you will make yourself a
coffee coat of white lace, open in the
front, something like blouse waist,
SO as to show the vest underneath,
and you will belt 1t with handsome
ribbon run through the lace. Or you
can make your coat of lowered silk,
with ribbon bows across the, front
and loose sides and back. The cof.
fee coats have many pretty patterns
this season, and all of them are popu-
lar.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-28

Overcast seams in sleeves separ-
ately. Overcast armseyes seams TO-
gether and make as small seam as
possible. After sewing sleeves IN
and overcasting or binding TINS
seam, stretch the seam by drawing II
over the point of a moderately not
iron.
Fine darning on linen table nap
kins, cloths, etc., can, be far more
easily accomplished If the hole is
first of all tackled on to piece OF
dark brown .aper. This forms a
background for the threads and
makes the darn more even. 1t also
prevents the hole from dragging out
of shape.
One of the latest fads is the max
ing of work baskets out Of wide
brimmed hats of soft straw. Buy a
shape of blue or pink or pale green
straw and line 1t with china silk Of
the same shade. Sew little bags of
the silk around the crown. These
will hold silks, thread, buttons and
thimble. Finish with broad ribt ms
sewed on either side of the crown to
hang 1t by.
The best method Of putting on
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-28
THE SEWING CIRCLE

fasteners is to sew them strongly to
q stout piece of silk tape, hemming
these strips of tape, closely to open
ing after all the pressing is done.
The fasteners are ait ma, shiny
places when pressing is done after
they are in place.
To finish the edges of doilies or
other buttonloled edges cut the goods
a little distance from the line where
the button-holing is to go and hem
1t back to that line. Then buton-
hole the folded edge. This prevents
the frazzled-looking edge SO often
seen after washing and gives it a
padded appearance.
An attractive and inexpensive
dressing sack can be made of one of
the pretty shirt waists, which can
be bought at small price at the
end of the season. Ruffle the lower
edge and the sleeves with white or a
plain light color Make turn-down
collar of the same goods or cut the
waist out to make pretty low
necked negligee. If the waist is cut
with a little Dutch neck, or in a
point, and edged with narrow lace,
the effect will be neat and dainty.
