Speaking Of the name in which
American visitors OIL foreign ships
steal all small portable articles of
value as Souvenirs" Admiral Evans
says fatty that we are a nation of
thieves. And considering the losses
suffered by hotels in the way of silver
ware, towels, pillow slips, blankets
and even rugs, the charge does not
seer overdrawn. The worst Of it is
that such stealing is commonly done
by people amply able to pay for their
loot.

Expert witnesses, as a class, have
won the distrust Of the public. A
Massachusetts physician, following
the example of thoughtful men in
other states, has outlined a plan for
the improvement of the legal value Of
expert testimony, and also for the pro

the iii repute brought upon it by some
Of its members in court. He pro-
poses, says Youths Companion, that

Judge Wood announced that he
would not adjourn court for the

will bring him back to Denver" de.
clared James Kirwan, acting secre,
tary and treasurer of the Western
Federation of Miners, today.
This great victory for the good
name of the federation will be fol
lowed by the immediate engagement
of enough organizers to double the
membership of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners in the next three
months. We will not have any more
secret meetings of the various local
unions, because there will be no
work for the detectives who have
been getting money from the mine
owners to spy upon our meetings"
Secretary-Treasurer Haywood's re-
turn to Denver will be made the oc-
casion Of a great demonstration In
this city by the Western Federation
of Miners and other labor o~rganiza-
lions. The date of his arrival has
not yet been announced, but he is
expected to arrive the last of this
week. Arrangements are already be-
ing made to run special trains from
Cripple Creek and other places to
bring members of the federation and
others to Denver to join In celebra-
ton of Haywood's acquittal at Boise.
1t is announced that one feature of
the celebration will be a parade of
federation members, the first In this
city in three years.
Some of Haywood's union co-work-
ers are proclaiming him to be the
logical candidate for the presidency
on the socialist ticket. AS candidate
for governor of Colorado last year,
when in prison in Idaho, he received
16. 1913 votes.

three fourths to fourteen cents per

This is an individual fight, as we'll
as a collective one; and the question
is not what are they going to do, but
as to what are you going to do9 The
difference, to the farmers Of this state
between eleven and fifteen cents cot
ton (based on a million bale crop) is
twenty million dollars, and all you
have to do is to be loyal to the IN
ion, and it is yours.
There never has been time in the
history Of the south, till now, when
the cotton spinners Of the world
nave invited the cotton producers of
the south to meet them in a three
days. convention. They, the spinners,
say to get closer relations between
the manufacturer and the producer
brother, can't you read the hand-writ-
ing on the wall? Don't be deceived
by the cry that the union is not
accomplishing anything in this st ~te,
for we have, or will organize five
counties in the nd ar future. VIE
also have an organizer in our county
now at work and the state is now be-
ing organized as never before in its
history. It is thing Of the past in
the south that farmers can afford to
sell cotton from the wagon, for the
simple reason that not one in fifty
knows anything about the different
grades of cotton, and it leaves him
entirely at the mercy of the buyer
who may be, or may not be, honest.
Now, in order to be fairly dealt with
in the matter Of grading cotton, /
would suggest that each county un-
ion in the state elect, or appoint, a
man whose business it shall be to
grade the farmers cotton, so that we
will know what grade Of cotton We
are selling, and what that particular
grade Of cotton is worth on the mar
ket any certain day in the year.
Yours truly,

President.

A Novel Hunt,

Perhaps the hostess had the quaint
old story of the "Mistletoe Bough" in
mind when she concocted this anus
ing entertainment, only a very much
alive young woman was to be discov-
cred in the chest instead of the bones
of the little English bride in her we'd
ding gown. Ten jolly girls were guests
of the house for a week end party and
ten equally jolly men received notes
to appear at eight o'clock TO partici-
pate in a hunt for deer"
Not girl was in sight and the hos
tess explained that half hour would
be allowed for discovering the where
abouts of each lassie.
And what fun they had, the girls
had shown great ingenuity In slowing
themselves away, but all were hunted
down except the tallest, slimest girl
in the crowd; she finally was brought
to bay inside of a mans ulster hang
ing on the rack.
A chafng dish supper completed a
very merry evening.
The hunt" was started by a blast
from a horn, and each hunter had to
play fair, bagging only one deer"

To the outside world there seems TO
be no method in the changing kaleido-
scope ~ fashion. A string of inno
vations is madly adopted, to be drop
ped again as quickly, and fashion re-
solves itself into an everlasting race
after the newest ideas, and the very
latest expressions thereof But this is
on the surface Of things. AT heart
fashion remains faithful to the period
that has inspired her for quite a sea
son or two, OTTER more. Only one pc
riod no longer suilices her. We have
two or three, and with glorious incon-
sequence we mingle Empire and Louis
XVI, Directoire audacities and 1880
occurrences. Just glimpse of the
one, a note of the other, all is forgiven
when results are as charming as they
are to-day.
A new fancy in smart gowns is TO
have the short sleeves made of chif-
fon or lace, no matter what the ar
rangement of the rest of the corsage
may be. There is a band at or just
under the elbow of the velvet or what
ever the material of the gown is, but
the puff of the sleeve top above that is
entirely, or all but so, of a delicate
fabric. 1t has a rather odd look at
first; 1t seems as IL the maker of the
gown had run short of stun for her
sleeves-but on the contrary, it is a
fashion of the moment, and marks a
good modistes production--not, of
course, that all the sleeves are SO son-
structed, but that the idea has not yet
penetrated beyond the best designers.
The costume TO the left in our large
illustration is made of bright navy
blue herringbone cloth, the herring
bone stripes being about half an inch
wide. In the skirts the material is
cut on the cross, the stripes meeting
in a central seam in front. A deep
hem OF the material is turned up at
the bottom with a line OF stitching,
and above this is band of blue panne,
six inches wide, perpendlcularly
striped with black silk braid, a line

a large interrogation point of small
flowers-a tinsmith will make the
form which may be filled with sand
and the flowers have the appearance

also be question marks cut from card
board. Any color that the hostess
selects should be carried out in the
place cards, and the covers of the lit

figure of an owl sitting on the branch
of a tree and a large interrogation
point,
Specimens OF the questions are

Why is a washerwoman the great

If you throw a stone that is white

What is the difference between a

Why is a schoolboy being flogged

Why doesn't Sweden send her cat
