Cans for KNITTING Needles.

These are very useful and very
easily made. Take two new corks
cut them down to about an inch in
length and round off the tops. Cover
them very neatly with flannel or any
soft material, taking care not to have
any joint on the fat end of the cork.
Now take a fairly wide piece of
elastic, about half an inch shorter
than the knitting needles, and secure
It firmly at each end to the corks,
with the rounded end of these out
ward. Make an outside cover for each
cap OF any pretty material, joining
the sides, turning in the raw edges at
the bottom and stitching these down
on the flannel.
Now gather the ends and finish of

ShirtwaiSt Suits
Some Points to Be Remembered in De
signing Useful Dress for
Hot Weather.

On the whole a sheer silk gives best
satisfaction for a really useful dress
that is intended only for constant wear
in hot weather. Such a gown should
be made quite simple, with detach-
able yoke and cuffs, so they may al
ways be kept fresh and neat, A sleeve
finished with deep lace cuff or mar
row wristlet of embroidered linen is
altogether desirable for this style of
gown, as short sleeves with long gloves
are as uncomfortably hot in summer
as they are cold in winter, and natural
ly one cannot go about in the city
without gloves, and cotton varieties
are anything but fashionable. The
skirt for shirtwaist suits should clear
the ground by a good two inches and
should be worn ever a stiff silk petit
coat that is fitted well about the waist
and hips. This underskirt should fare
out at the feet or rather from below the
knees, for a short silk skirt that is not
very wide and faring is distressingly
unpopular. Princess and Empire frocks
are to be popular, but the two-piece
dress is also in favor.

Bolster Cushions.

Of any material from five to eight

Draw one end tightly one and one-half
inches down, fill tightly with bran and
draw the other end up the same.
Finish with ribbon tied in a bow
around the end, carried loosely across
and tied around either end to form a
loop for hanging on the looking glass
or wall. This idea can be carried out

down the platform, came opposite
Stevens's compartment, he was asked
by the youth If he knew that the

Immediately the man showed great
interest, and said:
No! Is he?"

Stevens. Il only asked # you knew

The farmer said nothing but con-

he came opposite the window again
he remarked that their town had been
experiencing some excitement.
What's the matter?" Stevens asked.

folks bury a woman" replied the
farmer.
What was the reason for refusing?"
She wasn't dead" was the laconic
reply.
And then he strolled away, leaving

LITTLE G

The water board can get little en-
couragement In Its fight against the
people In the outcome of the hearing
in the supreme court last week. AL
though the decision was reserved, II
is evident that the justices are Of the
opinion that condemnation proceed
ings was the proper course for the
water board In securing the land, just
as the EVENING NEWS has main
tanned from the beginning.
The justices say that no municipal
body has a right to pay more than the
market value for any land it desires
without resorting to condemnation.
1t Is pointed out that the city offlc-
ials cannot ignore the state legislat-
ure and when the legislature passes a
law providing for the condemnation
of land when an exorbitant price is
asked by the owner. the city is duty
bound 10 follow the course laid down
by the legislature.
The water commissioners have
freely admitted that $500 an acre,
the price asked for the land by the
Fountains, is higher than its true
value, but they declare that the city
ought to have the tract and therefore
they were going to pay the amount
named. There has been no real OBJ
lection to the water board buying the
land, but there is objection to the
price the city is asked to pay. The
water commissioners have never ex-
planned why they did not condemn
the land as the law provides. 1t looks
as if the commissioners were more
DESTROYS of getting the money out of
the city treasury than OF securing the
land.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME.

Although one of those who protest.
cd against the abuse of Stanford
Whites name after he was dead,
when Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was
under direct examination, District At
fprney Jerome seems to delight in
heaping disgrace upon the famous
architect in the cross-examinatlon of
the same witness, dragging forth the
most disgusting details which seem
to have but little direct bearing on
this case. 1t looks as If Jerome Is
playing to the galleries, SO to speak,
a feat in which he is more than sue
pessful.
When Mrs. Thaw told her amazing
story, it was the general opinion that
the cross-examination would not dare
be severe and that the most revolving
mart OF the testimony would be allow
cd to stand. 1t would seem as IL the
district attorney took this as a dare
that he was afraid to ask such direct
personal questions and that TO show
that he was not afraid he has delved
into the worst OF II and seems to be
revealing in the discontinue he Is
causing O young woman who has been
led astray by those whom she had a
right to believe would protect her,
1t seems that jerome is very brave
and fearless and does not hesitate to
hurl any kind of question at a wo-
man whom he has at his mercy, but
what about those big insurance graft
ers who p%lundered the people OF mill
lions of dollars and who are today.
many of them, living lives of luxury
upon their ill-gotten gains? Would
jerome be so brave and fearless in
his questioning if he had some of
those high dnanciers on the witness
stand instead of the timid little wo-
man? If Jerome is so courageous.
why has he not had those insurance
men on the witness stand before this?
It would appear as If the district at
torney is trying to regain his lost
reputation by the heartless manner
in which he forces the witness now
before him to bare her past, although
much OF 1t is not concerned in the
case being tried. 1t is safe to say
that If Jerome was at present engag-
ed in firing red-hot questions at the
insurance men, whom he has thus far
ignored, and al bringing out the
details of their past transactions as
successfully as he is exposing the
life Of Mrs, Evelyn Thaw, he would
