MONEY TO BURN.

Homer Guardian Journal: A spinster
with money to burn recently paid $1,000
for bulldog. A man in Massachusetts
has just bought cow for 5000. Wal
ter Garvey has hog for which he re-
fused a cash offer of $4,000. James
keene refused 100000 for Sysonby, a
race horse. There are several roosters
of fashionable blood priced as high as
$500 each. You can buy fine lion for
5000 and tiger for 500. By and by
we shall have a craze for breeding
fishes, and fine male salmon, educated
to pond life, might be worth $1,000. The
5000 COW has one calf a year, worth
$4,000. The female Salmon might be-
come the mother of 100000 little fellows
in the same time, worth in the aggregate
possibly as much as the calf.

TEA GOWNS AGAIN.
A Revival of These Cozy, Dressy and
BECOMING Affairs.

One Of the -prettiest of all social func-.
tons is the s O'clock tea. For some
years it has been go that il any wom
an did invite her friends 10 tea she
wore any pretty house gown, without
caring whether or not it was adapted
especially for the purpose. Now the
dainty, flowing lines of these tea
gowns are to be seen again. AS be-
fore the materials are of soft and
pliabe stuff which will fall in grace
full. clinging folds and yet be soft
enough to sweep.
h China silks, china grapes. eoliennes in
colors or black over a bright color, net,
lace and fine cashmere Of any desired
color are all used in the newest of
these always desirable gowns Sc
cret lies i'll the fact that when the gown
as tea gown has seen its best days it
is RELOCATED to the houdoir. There it
does yeoman's service as morning
robe.
The tea gown is a very feminine
robe. and nothing can quite equal it
in many ways for the very act of pour
ing tea makes the woman appear more
wOmanly and homelike than any other
occupation. No opera attire or bail
dress or costume for the street or Wis
iting can equal it for its coy and in
innate effect upon the guests who
gather at ones home. Tea gowns are
dressy and may be as ornate as one de-
sires. Nearly if not quite all are cut
partly decollete and have the sleeves
so fashioned that the forearm is left
bare.
A lovely design shown in one place
had an underdreSs Of pink satin. with
pale blue silk null overskirt, which
has the effect of changing with each
movement of the wearer into deli
cate mauve. as the pink and blue result
in the purp.e. The overdress was of
soft white china silk, embroidered all
down the front with pink, blue and
silver The yoke was in the shape of Il
bolero of heavy lace. beneath which
the pink and blue showed. The whole
of the sweeping Overdress hung from
the shoulders. The sleeves were to
the elbows and were ruffied with a lace
frill. Vatican bows of alternate pink
and blue ribbon were set all the way
from throat to foot.
Another artistic tea gown has short
! empire bodice, with surplice front
| and this filed with expensive lace.
The neck is Holland style, square. The
whole gown Is of ivory white chiffon
over pale link silk. There is no trim
ming on the skirt except that there is
long scarf of the chiffon brough'
around over the shoulders and down
crossing under belt 'surplice form
| and hanging to the knees, each side

More Evidence.

Under the caption "'The Lumber
Problem the Kansas City Times, in
dependent, says editorially:
Minneapolis has been obliged to close
down building operations because of a
lack of shingle. This is due to shortage
of cars resulting from the blockade of
transcontinental railroads and also to
the lumber trust. which controls the traf-
fic and the prices of lumber The condi-
lions cali attention to two phases of the
building situation which deserve serious
attention.
It has been suggested recently that
congress shall lease the reserves for the
cutting of such trees as have grown to
maturity and are threatened with decay.
In this way not only would the waste of
. lumber be prevented, but competition
would be established with the lumber
trust, which is pernicious and an obstacle
to economical building.
Another remedy is that now being con-
sidered by the Pennsylvania legislature
which concerns the future of forestry. 1t
is proposed to preserve thes state lands
intact and make them nurseries for COM
ing forests. Not only are the Alleghanics
almost entirely denuded of trees, but the
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin have
been laid low, while the great northwest,
in the grip of the trust, is fast being
stripped of trees. 1t has been argued be-
fore the Pennsylvania legislature that,
while iron ore can be turned into steel in
a few hours, not all the wealth of the
world can make a tree grow faster than
nature has from the beginning intended.
The fault has been our great prof1igacy
in the beginning. Where few years ago
lumber was sawed and sold green at from
81 to IS a thousand feet it is now being
cured and planed and brings from $50 to
$50 thousand There are probably
enough trees to last couple of genera
tions, but what win posterity do if we
not only refuse to preserve the small area
of forests remaining. but. like the foolish
farmer who raised a single crop of wheat
and then let the field lie fallow for years,
refuse to make provision for future
growth of forests?

heightened to the foot by Il deep cas-
cade of lace The scarf is bordered by
a Greek key pattern done in silver and
scarlet, and at the ends there are silver
cords and tassels The sleeves are de-
signed after the old classic style. The
whole effect is beautiful.
Other gowns are Of white, with white
lace and silver and also gold braid
and embroidery as trimming. The
form is generally rather more classic
than ever before. The principal beau
fy of the tea gown anyhow is in the
long lines and heavy folds.
A very novel idea was wrought in
one made of rich white messaline silk,
with a narrow line of fine gold and
pink embroidery down the center Of
the front, 18th no other trimming on
the skirt The upper portion or over
dress was of fine black brussels net,
edged all around by ruffie of fine
black chantilly lace and with van
dyke design wrought upon it by black
chantilly insertion. The effect of this
over the black was exquisitely refined
and elegant.

DEMONSTRATION FARMS.

That the lumber trust is great in
iquity everybody knows. Not long
since the house passed resolution
authorizing an inquiry into the why
and wherefore of the astounding rise
in the price of white pine lumber, with
special reference to the manipulations
of lumber prices by the trust. My
own Judgment was and is that the
high tariff on white pine lumber is
the why and wherefore of the trust.
One of my most valued constituents,
Judge III. C. Lakeland of st. Charles.
Mo-, q prominent lawyer and business
man, wrote me the following letter on
the subject, which is well worth con-
siieration. Judge Lakeland says:

Hon Champ Clark Washington:
Dear Sr-I wish to call your attention
to the iniQuities of the lumber monopoly
in these United States, nurtured by the
tariff AS you know. the whole luEsher
business is in the hands Of trust Cob
posed of a few thousand men. winch
levies tribute on and Expresses and de-
frauds eighty millions of people without
any corresponding benefit whatever. This
syndicate or trust has got possession of
all the timber lands and sawrni1ls of the
country. and It dictates the prices of
lumber to the whole country There used
to be a few independent mills but they
have all been compelled to come into the
trust. and every bin of lumber ordered by
any retail dealer from a supposed indie
pendent mill is sent to one general office.
and the order In filled from that office and
the money collected by It, Every once in
awhile this trust raises the price of lum
Der. Last January it raised the price OF
the retailers 81 thousand: last week 1t
raised the price again another 75 cents
and 81 a thousand The orders for a raise
OF price are given to the retailer and he
is obliged to obey at his peril
But. worst of all. they swindIe. defraud
and cheat the purchasers and users OF
lumber in a most shameful manner. For

Ex-United States Senator Benson of
Kansas is peculiar man. He actually
refused an election to the United States
senate. True, it was only forty day
fragment of term, but it was an cleo

bered that when Senator Burton re-
signed Governor Hoch appointed Ben

Burton's unfinished term and for a
term of six years Benson was can
didate for both the short and long
