bled in his fingers. the soil given be-
meath his feet, and with an absence of
logic. a lack of justice unusual in him,
he let resentment against Chilcote

HIS EvANEscENr COURAGE.
Juvenile Trick Rider Had "NervOus

Match Snapped.

Dart Wantland is the fve-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. e. Wantland,
and has achieved considerable summer
resort fame as the trick rider of the
Glen Park donkeys, relates the Den
yer Post. The boy is a mirth-pro-
voking youngster. who carries his as
sumption of manly dignity so far that
he sometimes gets beyond his depth in
the current Of events.
This week he accompanied his moth

of his five years, vas discussing the pros-

II like a show with lots of shooting

hotel rotunda. II want you to take me to
a show that's full of shootin'. l won't

on a parlor match, which blew up with
what seemed like a terrific bang.
"Wow!" yelled the lad. and he chung
to his mother and screamed in tones
of horror. He denies he yelled "mur-
der" and police" but the hotel guests
who saw his sudden transition from
staggering bravery to terror say that
these were the words he shrieked:
1t was a crestfallen youth who sat at
the table of the Metropole that evening,
surveying the guests and wondering
how many knew of his inglorious de-
feat by the parlor match. A member
of the prince of Pilsen" company, with
whom he had struck up an acquaintance
on short notice, noted the boys look of
humility and abstraction and said:
Hello, Dart! What is the matter
this EVENING""
II don't feel well, said the boy, with
a touch of his staggering bravado. 81

The bitterness of being laughed at
again was Sc saddening to him that he
was silent for as much as an hour and

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
New Notions In Dress That Have Been
introduced In the Seasons
Es9 Costumes.

The "~multicolored idea" extends even
to gloves this year. Kids come in all
the cloth shades, with bindings and
stitchings of the brightest colors.
Plush tops and velvet underbrims will
be frequently seen in the stylish winter
hats, says the New York Tribune.
Persian lamb trimming of ~lustrous
fiber is n of the important accessories
of the season.. 1t comes in galloons of
various widths and appliques of differ
ent forms, which, however, are inva-
riably edged with a plain or novelty
fiber braid. These will be much used,
both in millinery and dress trimming,
as will also wool embroideries on chif-
fon or taffeta in oriental or pompadour
colorings and cloth cut work in two
%colors, outlined in black and white or
pongee colored silk cord. Garnitures
of wool embroidery in m%ulticolors. with
fringe ornaments and bangles, are at
tractive novelties.
Cuffs are the center of interest in the
sleeve line this season. Otherwise there
is no radical departure in outline or
architecture. The baggy puff, which is
slightly "ulIllulSueu ny means OF cores,
has been shifted somewhat more toward
the elbow. But the cuff of the season,
those specimens especially which adorn
the more dressy costumes and coats,
seem to combine the ideas and all the
different eras in the history of dress,
and are indeed glowing tributes to the
ingenuity of the %sartorial artist.
There is no tendency toward strik-
ing eccentricities in fall models, says
Toilettes. They are graceful, smart and
novel, but the differences in cut are
slight and the chicness consists rather
in the shaping of adjuncts and dispo-
sition of trimming. The eye has grad
TALLY become accustomed to an in
creased length of shoulder and f~ullness
of skirt in the fashionable silhouette,
and the replacing of the pouched blouse
by fitted fronts has been too gradual

FARMERS FOR THE vELDT.
Committee of the Imperial south Az
rican Association Plans small
County Colonies OF B%ritons,

A committee of the Imperial South
African association has been formed for
the purpose OF establishing small coun-
ty colonies on the veldt. The different
county organizations throughout the
realm will make a selection of farmers
suitable for the enterprise, and each set
Element will be named after the British
county which supplies the emigrants.
Certainly, say the London Evening
Standard It is desirable to strengthen
the white element in South Africa, espe-
cially when an invasion OF Indians and
Chinese appears TO be at hand. And the
best form Of that strengthening issBrit-
ish emigrants used to country life and
work. But is the farming grass well
adapted for the purpose? In the first
place. one might have thought that It
was wanted at home. Among the men
named as taking part in the scheme are
the duke Of Westminster and other great
landowners. They may find no diff
Guilty In securing tenants, but small
'squires are not so fortunate. More
over, 1t must be feared that the English
farmer will not easily adapt himself to
the conditions OF South African agricul-
ture, as different as could be in all re-
spects to those in which he has been
reared. The more successful he has
been at home. the less inclined he will
be to go to school again.

AMONG THE ALPS.
One of the Finest Panoramic Views
Is I'm the Very Heart of
SwitxerIand.


The city of Lucerne, on the north
west arm of the lake, is one Of the
largest and most important cities of
Switzerland. Southwest of the city
rises the gigantic peak of Pilatus, from
whose summit is secured one of the
finest panoramic views of the Alps, for
the lake of Lucerne is in the very heart
of Switzerland, writes Guy Morrison
Walker, in Four-Track News. From
most other points the views are in one
or two directions, but from the peaks
around the Waldstatter sea the wild
Alpine submits rise round you in every
direction.
East OF Lucerne, across the lake,
stands the rival peak of Rigi, from
whose summit can be obtained a view
riSaling even that from Pilatus, since
1t commands a better view of Lake Lu-
cerne itself. and also a magnificent view
of the Lake of Zug, to the north and
west. At the foot of Rigi, at the head
OF the north arm Of the lake, nestles
the valley of Kussnacht. where he

FASHIONS IN CHINA.
Styles in Hats and Coats and shoes
the Same To-day as n Thou

At a dinner party in Washington, the
new Chinese ambassador discussed
American fashions s~atirically, says the
New York Tribune.
Now, in China" he said, "our fash
ions never change. l wear the same
sort OF hat. the same sort of coat, the
same sort of shoes. that a man in my
position wore a thousand years ago.
And it is the same with the Chinese
women. Their fashions also have not
changed in | know not how many
d~ynasties. Long ago.in China, we found
the costumes that seemed to us the most
graceful and the most comfortable, and
we cling to these costumes. We love
them.

SPANISH TREASURE.
cuted by Duke of Argyll Near
Island of Null.

There is material for a a in the
search for treasure trove being prose-
cuted by the duke of Argyll, off the shore
of the island of Null, says a London
paper. The duke hopes to recover from
the wreck OF the Spanish galleon Flor
ida a portion of the treasure sunk with
her when she met her fate with the ILL
starred Armada feet. The Florida was
reported to nave been the richest gall
leon in the Spanish fleet. The duke
located the site of the wreck and en-
ployed a wrecking tug and divers to
prosecute the search for the sunken
treasure. Already the ancient ships
timbers, cannon balls, coins, skulls and
swords have been rescued. The sea
divers hope soon to find the treasure
chests. The duke of Argyll's ancestors
began the search for the treasure in
1912, and now the present duke, aided
by modern appliances, has renewed The
search with better success. The Florida
was SUM- by a Scottish chieftain whom
the Spanish commander abducted from
the Isle Of Null. The ch~ieftain, discov-
ering himself to be a prisoner aboard
the ship, thrust a torch into the maya
zine, blowing up and sinking the treas
ure-laden galleon. II the duke recover
the treasure he will have to give the
lions share to the treasury under the
ancient law of treasure-trove.

The palace of the shah of Persia
according to Donald Stuart, in "The

of squalor and luxury. One of the
most interesting rooms is that filed

OF Europe. In the next room is his
