PURPLE FAD IN PARIS.
Brightest of Hues Find Favor m the
French Capital.

A mention Of purple is justified by
the fact that this color in the bright
est of hues seems fad in Paris at
the moment There are entire cos
tunes of it, large hats and coats of it,
and everything about the toilette is
purple. It is as ii the women of
fashion were royalty mourning for
something departed, as indeed they
are-"we are mourning the hasty de-
parture of a too-short summer" as
some one put it in one of the smart
ateliers the other afternoon.
There is nothing unusual about this
new vogue. however, for Paris often
goes mad over color, usually diff
cult one; but then compilations and
hair do not matter in land that owns

that we might do vast amount of

under consideration by Second Assist
ant Postmaster General McCleary,
with the object of still further improv-

A number of exquisite silk frocks
in purple are stamped with motifs of
cloth. They are perfect works of art,
besides being strikingly original; but,
alas, originality nowadays means end
less patience in ordering new cloths,
and endless coin, to use forceful bit
of American slang.
Purple seldom appears in the strip
ed materials, but is used effectively
for pipings, being especially smart
upon light gray white or even pale
blue.

DRAPING A SMALL WINDOW.
With Little Care II Can Be Made to
Look Much Larger.

BY the use of draperies in cretonne,
silk, or any preferred material, a
small window can be so treated that
it can be made to look very much
larger, the result being an immense
improvement to the room. For fall
and winter use room always looks
much more coy and habitable when
draperies in some artistic material
are used at the windows, and when

Corporations To District Court.

1t is now up to the district court
to say whether Attorney General
Byers is justified In his claim that
every big foreign corporation in Iowa
which has failed to file Its articles of
incorporation Is subject to a penalty
Of 500 per day.
Recently Justice Roe handed down
a decision that unholds the conten.
ton of the attorney general. The
justice held that the International
Text Book company of Philadelphia
has no right in an Iowa court be-
cause 1t has never filed Its articles.
IL Is from this decision that the
international Text Book company has
appealed. Through Charles w. John
ston, It's attorney, the foreign cor
poration filed an appeal declaring
that Justice Roe was dead wrong"
and asking the district courts to over
rule him on the proposition. This
appeal will result In securing an early
decision upon the question, which
means millions OF dollars In penal
ties to various foreign corporations
doing business In this state.

state pefled Hy OIL Concerns.

State Defed BY OIL Concerns.
Des Moines.--While the Standard
OIL company has paid It's taxes to the
state, about thirty-fve oil companies
have defed the authorities and
threaten suit to prevent collection OF
revenue, from their tank line cars, for
the benefit of the public treasury.
In letter to Secretary Dawson or
the executive council, Secretary Q. ID.
Chamberlain of the National Petrol.
cum association has closed an ex-
tensive correspondence with the sig
nificant statement that II Iowa under
takes to assess and tax the property
OF the members of the association,
appeal will be taken at once to the
courts for relief.
1t is the purpose OF the state
authorities - levy an assessment and
collect taxes from the properties OF
the companies II II Is possible to do
1t, and will proceed under the plain
direction OF the law toward that end
until stopped by the courts.
There are about thirty-five COM
panies In the National Petroleum as.
ISOLATION whose headquarters are ut
Cleveland. Some of them do not do
business In Iowa. The executive coun-
Gil now has agents In the field to
discover which ones of them operate
In this state and when cars belonging
to them are found anywhere In Iowa
1t will be noted.
No estimate of the amount OF the
assessment to which these concerns
could be subjected or the extent of
kn Ia
possible as this time. The Standard
OIL paid 1853 In taxes TO the state,
last year on valuation OF $4,000
for Its cars, levy of about IL mills
on the assessed valuation of $4,000.
The Republic OIL company also paid
taxes last year, the Swift and Armour
companies have paid on their tank
cars, and 1t is supposed that there
are other concerns which will be
ready to pay taxes when notified OF
the claim of the state But so far
as the organization represented by
Mr.. Chamberlain Is concerned It pro-
poses to go into court.
Its claim Is that assessment OF the
property OF It's companies in Iowa
would amount to double taxation, for
1t is Insisted that they pay taxes on
all OF their property at It's real situs,
that Is, at the headquarters or home
OF the company. 1t is claimed that
the state of Iowa has not the power
to tax cars used In interstate traffic.
1t Is also urged that the oil tank
car Is an original package and can
not be taxed on this account any more
than the cartons In which embalming
fluid is shipped. IL Is used for one
thing alone and for nothing else.
IL has been disclosed In the cor
respondence that the secretary OF the
petroleum company visited Iowa last
spring and at that time 1t was under
stood that the question would be
referred to the attorney general.
Governor Cummins has thought the
question Is one OF enforcing q law
which Is on the statute books and Is
perfectly plain. and is not one for
Interpretation by the council before
proceeding to enforce IT.

How the Souls Of Apostates Were

How the Souls of Apostates Were
Saved.
The Wild Ram of the Mountains
had spoken to-day; there was work at
hand for the Sons of Dan. When his
Witness at last came to Joel Rae, he
tried vainly to recall the working of
his mind at this time; to remember
where he had made the great turn
where he had faced about. For, once,
he knew, he had been headed the way
he wished to go, long, plain road,
reaching straight toward the point

And then, all in day or in night,
though he had seen never a turn in
the road, though he had gone true
and straight course, suddenly he had
looked up to find he was headed the
opposite way. After facing his goal,so
long, he was now going from it and
never a turn! It was the wretched
paradox of a dream.
The day after Brigham's sermon on
blood-atonement, there had been q
meeting in the Historians Office, pre-
sided over by Brigham. And here for
the first time Joel Rae found he was
no longer looked upon as one too radi-
cal. Somewhat dazedly, too, he real
