one side and padlocked on the other. A

Her Address.

When Mrs. Craigie was in America
last year she was invited to make an
address at certain meeting She ac-
cepted the invitation, but her name,
through some oversight, was put far
down on the program, and worse than
that, the chairman, a rather stupid per-
son, introduced before her some speak
ers who were not ON the pragram at
all
In short. it was close on to II O'Clock
when the chairman, with a pleasant
smile, bowed and said:
Mrs. Craigie. the eminent author of
Some Emotions and Moral will now
give us her address"
Mrs. Craigie rose ard said calmly:
MY address is at Sc Lancaster Gate,
Hyde Park W, London, and l now
wish you all good night, for l am far

A YEAR OF DISASTER.
RECORD OF 1906 is A DARK AND
BLOODY ONE.
Nature Causes Terrible and Wide
spread Destruction OF Life and
Property Grim Reaper Works
More Peacefully

a notable characteristic Of the year
1906 is the destruction of life and
property which has been caused by the
forces of nature These forces nave
not been so active or so disastrous IN
their results for many years past. The
record is a formidable one. In Janu-
airy an earthquake killed fourteen per-
SONS at Gonzano, Italy, and tidal
wave on the Colombian coast swept
away $500. In February hurricane
visited the Society Islands, favorite
resort for hurricanes, and 1000 per-
ished. In March cyclone swept
through Mississippi and 81 We're killed,
and an earthquake in Fermosa destroy
ed 1909. In April the Vesuvius erup-
tion killed 1000, a second earthquake
at Formosa 100, the San Francisco
earthquake AS, and a cyclone in Texas
&C. In July there were two smaller
disasters, cleudburst at Ocampo, Mex
leo, which killed 10 persons, and a
waterspout at Lyons, France, which
killed 81.
The furies broke loose in August and
1000 were victims of an earthquake
at Valparaiso and 10000 of foods at
Human, China In September there was
long series of disasters. A landslide
and storm ia the Caucasus cost 255
lives, the typhoon at Hongkong 10000,
flood at Tepic Mexico, 10, herri-
cane at New Orleans and Mobile 140
aud cyclone in southern Spain 60. In
October hurricane off the coast of
Florida, which started from Venezuela,
skirting Honduras, Nicaragua, Saliva
dor. and Cuba, left 9S6 sdead in it's
path. During November nature took
little rest, a great lake storm in which
30 sailors persisted, being the principal
disaster. In December came the food
which destroyed the village of Clifton,
Ariz, and caused the loss of 60 lives
Including the losses of life by lesser
disasters of this kind the record shows

DRESS THAT COSTS $4,000.
Three Hundred Mexican NeedlewOm-

Three Hundred Mexican NeedlewOm-
zen Made the Wonderful Garment.
After nine years of most painstaking
living in the city of Mexico, has com
Melted a dress which Is valued at the
prineely sum of $4,000 gold. She
was assisted in her ard.-.9us toll by
800 expert needlewomen, all of whom
were well paid.
The dress was first intended for the
Mexican exhibit at the Paris exposi-
ton. AS it was at that time incom-
plete it was decided to display it at
the st. Louis worlds fair, but the close
of this exposition still saw the work
unfinished.
Aguascalientes is famous for Its
drawn-work and needlework and its
embroidery artists, but this dress ex-
cells anything ever attempted or COM
pieted in that city. The dress is an
exquisite and wonderful example Of
woman's skill, patience and artistic
conception.
1t consists of full trained skirt
Elton jacket and bertha, and is made
Of the sheerest linen, the thread for
which was imported from Paris and
bore the number 600, the finest manu-
featured The design, which was orig
mated by Sonora Leon, is marvel.
There are no visible seams in the en-
tire garment, which is drawn in wheels
In such a way that the original fabric
it changed into fiimsy weblille lace,
The dress will be put ON exhibition
in the City of Mexico and offered for
sale. No price under $4,000 gold VIII
be considered. During the winter,
when the city is filed with American
millionaires, it is not thought that
finding a purchaser Will be difficult

pREuFERT DEcLARED GUILTY.
Waukesha County Farmer Convicted
of SECOND Degree MAINTENANCE

Waukesha County Farmer Convicted
of Second Degree Manxiaughter.
The jury in the trial of Otto Preufert,
charged with the murder of his aged
father-in-law, Frank Hookstad, returned
verdict of manslaughter in the second
degree in Waukesha, after having been
out nearly six hours. The penalty is
from four to seven years. Preufert re-
ceived the verdict with the same stoical
demeanor he has possessed throughout the
trial. His young wife, to whom he was
married last Christmas and who WAS by
his side when the verdict was read, broke
down when she realized its meaning. The
crime of which Preufert was convicted
was the killing of his aged father-in-law,
Frederick Hookstad, on the Turner farm,
in the town of Mukwonago, on July %
last. The old man was found dead in
the horse barn with his skull fractured
and ribs caved in. 1t was the theory of
the defense that he was kicked to death
by vicious mare The evidence was
circumstantial but finger marks on the
throat of the deceased ard the AK on
which was human blood and hair are
probably what convicted preufert. Coun-
sci for the defendant entered motion
in Circuit Court to have the verdict set
aside and new trial granted. The mo-
ton viii be heard Jan. by Judge Dick.

For long it puzzled me TO know what
the poachers did with the birds they
shot in July. There is no cold storage
in the north of Ireland. but they have
discovered an excellent substitute. The
birds are buried four or five feet deep
in dry peat, and, | am told, come out
perfectly fresh at the end of two or
three weeks. When one remembers
the bog butter dug out of the peat boys
in comparatively fresh state after
being buried for probably 200 or 800
years, it is not difficult TO believe that
grouse might keep. under the same cir
cumstances, for two or three weeks

Mrs. bate Feared sister Might Meet
Fate of other Americans.
The will OF the late Mrs. Elenore L.
Bate. wife of former Assemhlyman james
A. Bate of Chippewa Falls, discloses the
fact for the first time to the public that
Chippewa county was the home of
titled lads. Her name is Countess de
Chavanne and her maiden name was Ma
RE Rose Benson. Her marriage TO the
French count is said to have occurred
four years ago. She was Mrs Bates
sister The former evidently had not
much faith in the success of the marriages
OF American girls and foreign mobiles. To
be on the safe side Mrs. Bate provided
in her will that should the countess ever
be in want. the old home IN the town of
Arthur should be at her disposal and also
reasonable living until her death. 1t is
said that the count is wealthy and infiu-
entail nobleman.
