BIG FOOT BURGLAR
INVADES LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, July 15.-Barefoot burg
lars who attempted to break into the
residence of j. p. Gum, 426 West Second
street, early this morning were frightened
away by V. M. Roberts, a roomer in the
house, who called out to an imaginary
companion:
"Joe, get me that gun and I'll take a
shot at those fellows"
The burglars heard the words and beat
a hasty retreat.
This morning huge footprints were
found outside the window of Roberts
room. Owing to the immense size of the
feet the police expect to be able to effect
a capture.
The burglars tried to open window in
another room in the house, where Mrs.
George Drainey lay trying to sleep. She
was so frightened that she was unable
to make any outcry. The men were un-
able to open the window, however, and
went to the other side of the house

A s24o HAT.
Paris Mill'ners Turning Out Mighty
Expensive CONNECTIONS.

Pants Mill'ners Turning Out Mighty
Expensive CONNECTIONS.
For the first time On record during
the last twenty years, declares the
Paris correspondent of the Gentlewo-
man, the milliners have raised their
prices. There has been for some time
an outcry among hatmakers that they
could not obtain the same profits as
the dressmakers, although they had
the some class of clients.
They considered it unreasonable
that a woman should pay as much as
$1,000 for a dress, and the very high.
est price they could obtain for a hat
was $50. To-day there is no possibili-
" OF complaint on their part, for thew
are making hats. and selling them, too,
at $240.
! had seen wonderful structures of
a1grettes and marabout at $40, and
thought we had reached the limit but
the $240 hat is an extravaganza that
I do not care to qualify.
"Surprising?" say the mi1liners
Not at ALL. People wear real lace
upon their dresses, why should they
not also have it on their hats?''
was curious to see this sensational
hat, and arrived just as it was being
packed in its cardboard box, a circle
OF admiring assistants in ecstasies at
It's beauty. 1t was large capeline in
straw with a collar Of Venetian point
! around the crown-the lace alone
worth $150-and small mountain Of
marabout and aigrettes on one side.
Such extravaganza is not only wick
LED but unnecessary, for after all, who
wears hat of this price? Not a
young woman certainly. Such foolish
display can only come from an old wo
man, and she would do well to be
more discreet.

Adaptable Trio.

Il know three women who live in
the same fiat, said the bachelor girl.
IT wish you could see the way they
manage 1t. It's awfully funny. They
live as separately as if they were in
three fats. They hardly have any
thing to do with each other. For in
stance, each gets her breakfast tray
ready the night before. All she has
to do is to make her coffee in the
morning and boil her eggs. Each has
the same daily paper. You'd think
they would buy different one and ex.
change, but they don't. So every
morning trey go out iii the kitchen a,
different times, get their breakfasts,
bring them back to their bed rooms on
their little trays, and read their papers
all separately.

thing entirely new to the Smith fac

time on the most difficult roads and is
handsome enough to attract attention
on the streets of any metropolis.
The car is painted a beautiful grey
and is striped in blue and gold with
just enough ornamentation to prevent
any one from calling it plain. 1t has
a four cylinder vertical engine with
cylinders of four and a half inch bore
and a five inch stroke. The hood is of
steel like the touring cars, is easily
removable and may be opened at eth
er side. There are two front seats
similar to those in the touring car
and a rumble seat behind, which is
fastened TO q DrdSS DOunQ TOOL chest.
If you don't know what rumble
seat is for it may be limited that the
original purpose was to provide a place
for the footman, but as there are no
footmen in Kansas the seats of the

for child, dog or any other inciden-

q fourteen inch steering wheel and the
transmission is exactly like that of

The two touring cars which were
taken to New York are both the new
1908 model. One of them is to be
used for demonstration purposes and
the other for the show. The 1908
touring car can scarcely be distin-

a little wider, the steering wheel IA

the engine connections and hub

TO MAKE ALFALFA FOOD.
A Plant Is to Be Located at lola With
Heavy Capacity

lola. Kan, Oct. 19.-Iola is going to
lead the rest of the towns in southeast
ern Kansas by being the first to have
an alfalfa stock food plant.
S. D. Ray, the local wholesale -four
and feed dealer, and owner of the lola
elevator. has decided to put one of the
plants in.
Mr.. Ray has returned from Kansas
City, where he has been for several days
buying the necessary machinery for the
installing of the plant, and the first
shipment of material is expected this
week. and the plant will probably be
turning out stock food by the first of
November
The plant will have a capacity of from
to tons of food per hour.
The alfalfa is to be shipped directly
from the alfalfa country to lola in car
load lots. 1t will then be ground up
and mixed with bran, corn chop. oil
meal and other good foods in the right
proportions to make a good food.
The food must be made to conform
with the pure food law and it was neces-
sary for Mr.. Ray to take out a permit
apd send copy of his food formula be-
fore he could begin work on the plant.
