BELT BUCKLES ARE OUT
Belt Pins in Many Novel Designs Are the Very
Latest Creations.

One really can't tell, from the out
side, whether a buckle or a pin fas-
tens the belt. They have the same
appearance. But the buckle never,
in its widest flights of fancy, as
sumed the bizarro and startling eff
feet that the pin has taken unto it.
self.
And the pin is the latest conceit.
The buckle has been relegated to
a secondary place in the favor of the
feminine, world. In the realm of
fashion one can never be sure that
any object has come to stay. So the
reign of the belt pin may be short or
long, according to the fancy of the
fair wearers.
The majority of these pins are of
extravagant design. Enormous dog
heads, owls AM other figures of ami
mails are used for the decorations.
Then there are jewels in great pro-
fusion, onyx being very popular.
These pins are large in long way,
not up and down. On tall, grH "eful
woman one can imagine that they
would be very handsome, but how
comical some of them Will appear on
small women!
1t must not be supposed, however,
that these new and conspicuous pins
offer the only choice. BY no means.
There are as dainty, pretty patterns

BEAUTIFUL SLEEVE DESIGNS
Do Your Sleeves Suit You !?

cause they look cut of date? If SO,
Just note some of the fashion plates

Gently, "baggy" at the hand and
small at the top, turn them upside
down and add modern cuff or band.
They may need little piecing right
at the seams, top and bottom, but,
we'll done, this need r9ver show. If
they are merely tight, insertion or
vertical bands will remedy the evil.
Or, possibly, they may be tucked or
gathered in somewhere. If so, let
all this out and press well so that
the old stitchings will not show, and
try cutting a new sleeve. Don't feel
distressed if the under side is not
quite so straight with good as you
would like to have 1t, if it comes out
better that way. Make the rest of
your sleeve carefully and give it a
good touch. No one will ice the

Four Valuable Hints.

Too many women overhead and under

words, If one is not wiling to do as

grossly unfair and tacit criticism
not to do as the others in 1t.
A guest should never forget that
a hostess will have many small mat

the like to look after, and should see
that she relieves the housekeeper of
the responsibility of her presence for
a time that they may be looked after.
On the other hand, the hostess is
to recollect that the guest will have
letters to write, trifling mending to
do, or will have found book she
would like to run through, and in
her desire to give her friend good

BURNT VEGETABLES.

If a cereal or vegetable burns
while cooking the usual course of
action is to pour the contents of the
burned pan into a clean kettle and
continue the cooking. Even If this
is done the food will often have a
burnt taste. If the first vessel is
plunged into cold water and allowed
to remain for a few minutes before
pouring the food into the second re-
ceptacle there will be none of this
disagreeable flavor.

There is not the least doubt but that
from the very first the frauds against
the land laws havo been possible be-
cause of collusion among the officials,
IT is absolutely impossible that there
should be any material frauds as to
public land entries if the officials are
honest, vigilant, and earnest in their
endeavors to faithfully and properly en-
force the laws The history of the land
frauds is stuffed with instances where
the utmost ingenuity was employed TO
obtain the collision and consent OF the
public lands officials to improper en-
tries. to dishonest deals, TO frauds upon
honest applicants. In all parts Of the
country this ingenuity has been dis
played, this faithlessness in public land
officials has been manifest. Senator
Teller was exactly right; if the public
land officials were honest and dillgent,
there would be little cause of complaint.

But still there would remain the

there is not any room for doubt bu0 The
land laws should be radically changed
in their application to the arid region

DEATH OF MIR. SALISBURY.

His interests were deeply rooted in
all these sections, and from n wide
distribution of his efforts and utilities
from an early date onward, his con
nection with all the localities of these
States was firm and strong. He knew
a vast number of men in all these
States. and had Joint interests with
them in an immense number of enter
prises and industries,
He was plain, Straightforward
business man--onc OF energy, ability
and commanding force. AS his enter
prises came to successful issue men
came 10 lean upon him for advice and
to trust his Judgment implicitly in all
business affairs. His interests were
diversified, He did not withhold his
hand from any form of useful develop
ment of the country, provided there
was reasonable prospect that success
might follow the effort, He was a
good, valuable citizen, Of high charac-
ter and wide aitainments He was n
man of taste, Of sympathetic, social
nature, much beloved by those who
were close to him.
His death will be grievous blow TO
his wife and children, and TO thou
sands of his friends all through the
mountain and basin country. Mr..
Salisbury was a stalwart, strong man;
one who will be missed in all the bust
ness and enterprising relations of this
