Harvest Crops Every Month.


Those of our readers whose farms
are in the Northern section and where
the growing season is short are sure to
be interested in the most fertile section
of the whole United States, where land
is now offered in small lots on such
terms that almost anyone can buy.
We refer to lands in Oklahoma, Tex
as, Indian Territory. Arkansas and all
the great Southwest, where 1000, 000
acre ranches are being divided up into
farms and are offered for sale by ]. T.
Thompson, 400 Marquette Building,
Chicago.
This land is deep and rich and the
growing season covers almost twelve
months in the year. Northern farmers
have long had an envious eye on these
great ranches, but only recently has it
become possible for them to secure
holdings in this land of opportunity
and big profits.
If you are interested in a farm so
fertile that it is veritable gold mine,
in country where you can live out
doors all the time and at price which
almost anyone can afford, you should
address J. T. Thompson, 400 Marquette
Building, Chicago, for booklets, easy
terms and all information.

Fashion Notes for Dogs.

Paris gives out the fashions for dogs
as we'll as for the rest of the world. A
mandate has just been issued as to what
we'll dressed dogs shall wear during the
coming spring.
Until the weather becomes mild a
morning paletot of plain, rough material
of indefinite color is the correct thing.
1t should match the color and style OF
the owners horse blankets. 1t may for
large dogs be cut from the same piece.
For afternoon wear much more elab-
crate outfit is prescribed. The coat is
made of fine cloth. 1t may be plainly
finished at the neck or it may have a
stand up collar or regular military one
embroidered with gold or silver braid.
If il is ornamented at all, it should be
very richly braided. The coat is lined
with white satin and it is Indispensable
that it should have a pocket from which
projects the mOnogrammed corner OF a
hemstitched cambria handkerchief.
Fur coats have entirely gone out OF
fashion: they were heavy and clumsy
and impeded the movements OF their
vearers without showing off their natur-
al attractions. But Il new and very fetch
ing innovation is fur bOrdered shoes, to
be worn in icy or snowy weather. Inc
shoes are made of soft brown rubber and
they are ornamented with black but
tons. Any dark fur goes well with
them. =,
For summer wear, when coats will be
shortened I'D into collars. some styles
are already announced. One collar is Of
crimson leather with a single row OF
silver balls as large as peas. Another
collar is of velvet, spotted over, with
pearls-real or counterfeit. \ collar OF
cloth of gold with leather foundation
is bordered with turquoises.
The automobile craze has created n
new and urgent need for the canine pets
of society. They as well as their own
ers must have goggles to protect their
ewes at high speed. They have them.
Some Partisan houses that cater to
Fashionable trade make them to measure
for the dogs of their patrons

After the potatoes are peeled they are
kept for thirty-six hours in an S per

are then dried and pressed hard enough
for use in making pipes. Under strong
pressure they become solid enough to be
turned into billiard balls.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-03

COUT as one will the pretensions
and claims of fortune ,tellers. palm
- lists and clairvoyants, there is yet
one man in Los Angeles who firmly be-
lieves in them and who attributes, tc
one of them his forthcoming marriage
He is Harry j. CHM of the Burbank
stock company. Whether or not he has
induced pretty Maude Gilbert Of the
same organization, his bride-to-be, to
pin her faith to their manifestations,
he at least has won her confidence in
himself. For the wedding bells will
ring for them ere long, and they say
a palmist is responsible.
The engagement of these two play
ers has been common knowledge for
some little time back, but an authorized
announcement of it is even now not
wholly made possible. But the tale of
how it happened is related for the first
time. Indeed, the former proposition
is reserved, for neither he nor she will
give actual confirmation of the good
news. But this is owing to the nom
consummation of all their plans; a
divorce not yet fully granted, though
almost, to Miss Gilbert stands in the
way of immediate marriage. Still, this
is practically arranged and there should
now be no waiting at the church for
either of them.
But to return to the genesis of the
affair. Last fall Miss Gilbert was en-
gagged by Manager Morosco for his ex-
cellent company in New York. About
the same time Harry CHM was taken
tbara FOR the broadway production of
"The Judge and the Jury" At that
time neither player had even heard of
the other. Mr.. CHM arrived in New
York just about the time that Miss
Gilbert reached here, but on his way
there he stopped in Philadelphia.
Now, CHM, like most player folk, is
very superstitious. He won't walk un-
der a ladder; he doesn't want a black
cat to cross his path, and he always
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-03

likes to see the ghost walk. In Phil
adelphia, among other things he Wis
tied a celebrated palmist to learn how
things were to go with the play in
New York.
you are Harry Ginn,'' said the
spookologist, and she went on tos.tell
CHM Of his parentage, his ancestry and
a few more things that astounded- him.
She also assured him that the play
would not go in Broadway, but that
personally he would be a hit. She
then asked him If he were thinking of
marrying.
NO" said CHM; nothing is further
from my mind"
"Yet," said the woman, "you will
wed; 1 see it in your hand. You will
marry a woman who is now on a long
journey; she is going west; she has
been travelling west as you came east.
You will shortly take long trip, where
you will meet this woman. She is
dark" and she went on to describe
Miss Gilbert. Then she told CHM the
name of the girl that fate had picked
out for him.. All of which impressed
Harry nightly.
Well, he went to New York and, '"The
Judge and the Jury ran one successive
week. His own hit was strong, but the
plays wasn't. He stayed in New York
while, but the call of the west was
too strong, and he came back here.
Then, and not till then, did he run into
his fate-Maude Gilbert. He met her
in the Burbank stock company, to
which he had returned.
From the first Miss Gilbert and Mr..
CHM have been friends, cronies, low
ers. She was unhappily married some
time back, and action for a separation
had already been taken. Then. so it is
decIared there will be a quiet little
wedding, and the palmist will be ad-
vised that she guessed right the very
first time.
When questioned about the coming
tieup, Miss Gilbert last night blushed
even through her grease paint.
"Marry?" she queried in reply. "How
can 1 when he hasn't asked rpe?"
Then, in almost the same breath, she
added:
