In a tub? Why does he live in a

We'll, my theory Is that he Is plan

insanity, or maybe he wants people
to believe that ne despises the COM

wouldn't know what to do with mon

the same time it is said by some that
Juarez Intentionally relaxed the guard
over Macmillan so that the royal
prisoner might easily have escaped;
but that this Macmillan bravely re-
fused to do unless accompanied by his
fellow captives under similar sentence.
And SO Macmillan fell, a sacrifice to
the ambitions of others. After Juarez
had been reestablishd as president and
matters had become comparatively
quiet the Austrian government con-
veyed the body of Macmillan to Eu-
rope in the same frigate which had
brought out the royal couple with such
high hopes only three years before.
The body was placed with great cere-
mony in the family vault of the Hans

The Eye of the Crook.

Now you may or may not know it,
but the confidence man of tip-top-at-
tainments cultivates the control and
expression Of his features with as
much care as does the professional
beauty-this for the reason that his
looks are among his most valuable as
sets. For the first stage in turning a
trick whether this be done in a
Broadway hotel or a downtown office
building, is for the operator to get
hold on the confidence of his victim
by impressing him with his, the form
er's, frankness and honesty through
the medium of his steady gaze,
CHEEKY smile, and sincerity of express
sion in general. But wise" people are
not taken in by these things. Apart
from all else, those no have had much
to do with criminals-whether mugged
or unmugged-wi tell you that there
is such a thing as the crook eye,
which invariably gives its owner
away. 1t is, as / once heard a clever
detective put it, IAN eye behind the
eye"-a something sinister peeping
out from the bland and child-like gaze
which the ICON" turns on his pros
pective gull siah Flynt in Success
Magazine.

Fall Fabrics.

"That in the lines of the costume
and the style of the fabric are today
most closely related is a fact which
shows it self in the fall fabrics" says
Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion
editor, in the Woman's Home Com
panion. This season we have more
novelties in the new materials than
ever before. And there is a reason
for it. The tailor-made gown, more or
less mannish in effect, Is the height
of fashion. Now. with all the good
points that the tailored suit posses
ses, 1t is still very apparent that It
affords but small opportunity for a
variation in cut or trimming. Hence,
the material of which it is made
must be depended upon to give the
tailored suit much of its individual
ity and style. That the new mater.
ials have been designed with this end
in mind is evident.
"Of course, a tailored suit is the
suit for hard wear, and one of the
best fabrics to select for It Is
worsted. The new worsteds are not
only strong and wiry. but they come
in a great variety of patterns and dis
play most charming mingling of
colors. They show every variation
of the stripe and quite as many differ
ent patterns in checks. There are
plain worsteds. too, which will De
made up with pipings of contrasting
color, but stripes and checks are the
novelties of the season"

VARDMAN-WILLIAMs FIGHT.
Both Sides In Mississippi Claim a
Victory in Coming Primaries.


Although not great deal about the
Williams-Vardman contest ia Missis-
sippi is printed outside that state
just now, the struggle between the
governor and the representative
seems to be even livelier and more
interesting than ever before. The
state primaries, which will decide
which of the two men is to be sent to
the senate to succeed fernando De
Soto Money when he retires on March
I3, 1911, will be held next month, and
while friends of botL are claiming a
victory, conservative Observers In
cline the opinion that Mr.. Williams
has rather the better of the fight.
There can be little doubt that the
brilliant statesman who has been mi
nority leader in the house two con
crosses would reflect credit on his
state as a senator But the ways OF
