night-would go, you know!-and kill the girl inside.
 I assure those feminine pioneers who clamor for their rights that above eve rything else they should demand an equality of pockets. Try to imagine a man doing his errands with purse, handkerchief and shopping list in one hand the tail of his skirt in the other, his umbrella under one arm, mean while making an effort to keep his head clear for business problems and at the same time keeping wary eye out for motors He couldn't do 1t. If the worthy ladies who have so much enthusiasm, and who gill interrupt our great orators " e they are busy be- ing eloquent, would only demand a law requiring every woman to have sixteen pockets, what a splendid service they would do their bothered sex.
 Once I met man who was lured from the joys of Piccadilly, just as he rural retreat, five miles from railway station. "Good7by," he said in an im- polite burst of rapture q fear my soul has not been in harmony with na- ture." Don't blame your soul said as we shook hands; "your soul was all right, but you had on the wrong hat" Yes, when one comes to think about it, men too are the victims of clothes. Question the taste of a mans aecktie or his gloves and see him wrlthe Say you don't like the color of his new suit and You rouse the slumbering lion. Have you ever, in the pursuit of your social duties, fastened your eyes on mans boots? It causes a man unex plained suffering.
 Is not every woman in the clutches of a little private serpent who urge her to want the things she oughtn't to | have? It is all that is left to her of the Garden of Eden except Adam, and, really, the less said about Adam the better. ......
 The only solaee I have in the tyran- ny under which I languish is that Adam languishes also I rejoice to watch his struggles into a pair of tight new gloves. I was so pleased the oth- CT day at dinner party when Adam came bashfully down in a dress coat and shepherds plaid trousers-the guardian angel who had packed his kit bag having been little absent minded.
 And yet, after all's said and done, Eve is to blame. There is no getting over that. But how she has suffered ever since Consider the tragedy of l every milliner's bill and the awful mo ment when she has to confess to Adam! If she had only let that apple alone!

THE TYRANNY OF CLOTHES.
Eve the Only Woman on Record Who
 Dressed as She Pleased

Eve the Only Woman on Record Who
 Dressed as She Pleased.
 Clothes and al their little accessories are without doubt the invention of the devil.
 The other day was at garden party, and there realized, as perhaps never before, writes Mrs John Lane Tn the Fortnightly Review, the lpoalling nature of the top hat In towns one accepts 1t as one does. motor onnibuses and traction engines, but when t me- anders among trees and does the polite with sloppy ices and tea that spills it's way to it's destination ones sou! cries out against it.
 The Achilles heel of a man is his hat. He must guard that as he does his rep utation. for 1t is at once his strength and his weakness. It would lurt aD archbishop less in the eyes of the pub licto commit crime than to wear bis hat on the back of his sacred head.
 It is the aim of all human creatures to look alike. It is were not So each would dress as he pleased As t is we spend half our life trying to look like everybody else. To be conspicuous is nearly crime, and for this reason we so frantcally pursue the fashions.
 Eve is probably the only woman cn record who could dress just as she pleased, and for that reason she is the only woman we know of since the world began who had leisure to cuIti- vate her mind. a.., .
 To think of the amount of time a woman wastes on her clothes? Why, if men were to spend as much time at their tailors or buying their ueckties the worlds work would never be done. When one looks back on ones life one's feminine 1ife-it is melancholy to realize how much of ones troubles are owing to ones clothes.
 I remember the despairing cry of a woman looking hopelessly through her wardrobe: T should have been bet ter woman if I had been born with feathers," How well knew just what she meant! She was examining dis eonsolately shabby white satin dress the kind of satin that betrays it's ple- beian cotton origin. T wish I were a guinea hen with respectable speckled feathers" she cried, as she gave a dis couraged slam to the wardrobe door. ''Then I wouldn't use up three-quarters of my intellect getting the wrong things cheapi"
 Sunday clothes are the most tyran- nioal in the world! It takes a heroic woman to go to church in anything but her best. Sub-eonsciousness is the pre- cious faculty bestowed on a privileged few of hearing the sermon and at the same time studying the hats. I have known a tulle dress-the sweetest and most innocent locking thing in the world-go out on an icy cold winter

REED SHOOT STRONGLY
 DEFENDED IN SENATE
Continued from First Page.

by MT. Shoot which would prevent him from dlscharging his duties as senator.
 Never before in the history of the government he declared with great emphasis "has the previous life or career of senator been called in question to determine whether he should remain in the senate cor not"
 If members of any Christian church were to be charged with all of the crimes that have been committed in its name, where is the Christian gentleman in this body who would be safe in his seat?"
 He denied that the protestants had made good in any of the charges against MT. Shoot.
 MT. Beveridge interjected the state- ment into the speech of Mr. Hopkins that the country should be informed that MT. Shoot was not or had ever been Dolyeamist.
 Senator Fulton asked Mr. Hopkins whether the Mormon church had rec ognized the twenty polygamous mar riages which the evidence shows had taken place since the manifesto of 18a0.
 MT. Hopkins said the church had not recognized these marriages that under the laws of the Mormon church to-day such marriages were not permitted.
 Mir. Dubois asked if MT. Shoot had done any thing to bring these persons to Justice. MT. Hopkins held that there was no more obligation on MT. Smoot in this respect than on any one else. He maintained that MT. Shoot had, in his position in the church, done more to stamp out polygamy than any thousand other men.
 Mir, Dubois wanted to know where and when Mir. Shoot ever publicly placed himself on record as condemn ing polygamy.
 MT, Hopkins reply was that Mir. Shoot had twenty or forty times stated his position before the commit tee and that his while life was a pro test against polygamy.
 ''The senator himself,' said MT. Hopkins, addressing MT. Dubois, dare not stand up here on this floor or any other place and say that Reed Smoot has not been a persistent opponent of the practice of polygamy."
 MT. Dubois demanded to have point ed out in the committee testimony where MT. Shoot had stated his posi- ton. MT. Hopkins, however, took his seat and MT. Cullom was recognized to call up the legislative appropriation bill and no answer was made to MT. Dubois.

not in his robes. This star, which has altered gradually in shape in the last three hundred years, was restored by King Edward to It's original shape last year. The insignia are all presented to the knight by the king, but on ais death they have to be returned to the sovereign
 The mantle is of purple velvet, lined with white silk, with the badge of the order on the left shoulder. The neck is closed by a cordon of purple silk and gold in equal parts. Queen victoria's mantle was nine feet in length (the knights have mantles slightly shorter than the sovereign).
 The garter is worn on the left leg over a white silk stocking, and is bal anced on the right leg by a plain band of white silk ribbon Qady knights wear it on the left arn). The hood and sur coat are of crimson velvet, lined with white taffeta.
 The admission of Knight of the Garter is one of most gorgeous ceremo- nies in the world. .-London Mail.

ARREST TITLE GIVEN.

Story of the Garter, the Most Valued
 Order in tho World.
 Knight of the Carter is the rarest title that can be conferred by the King of England,
 About one-third of the knights at the present time are reigning kings or emperors, the Shah of Persia, the Em- peror of Japan, the Kaiser and the King of Spain being among other members of the Most Noble Order"
 It was founded far back in EEdward Ills reign, the date being ascribed to New Years day, 1914, but authorities differ The legend-which even the TO- mantle Froissart contradicts-runs to this purpose: A certain Countess of Salisbury, having lost her garter at ball. His Majesty Edward III. picked it up and destored 1t, When the cour- tiers failed to hide their smiles the king reproved them with the words, "Honi soft qui nal y pense, which is still the motto of the order. That is the legend. The words are also as- eribed in the motto which Edward III. selected for his second French cam paign.
 But it is said that the Garter existed still earlier, though not under royal de- cree, King Richard I. having a select band of Knights at Acre who were a leathern band around the left leg.
 The famous garter itself is band of blue velvet an inch board 1tavily in- crusted with gold and bearing the mot to, "Honi soft qui nal y pense." in let ters of solid gold. Charles I. wore a garter With blazing array of four hundred and twelve diamonds, and these he did not shrink from wearing on the scaffold.
 At Windsor Castle, after the new knight has been elected by the chap ter of the order-a ceremony which is- possibly allowed to lapse-the two jun for knights proceed to the door of the chapter room, and, preceded by the Garter King of Arms, who carries the insignia on cushion, conducts the newly elected knight to the sovereign With the assistance of the two junior knights present the king buckles 1t on; then, while the new knight kneels the king puts the ribbon over his shoul- ders.
 The collar, which, like the collar of all orders by the way, is a badge of servitude, is of gold and weighs nearly thirty ounces. It Is made in twenty six pieces, corresponding to the statute number of members, and is to be worn when the knight is not in his form of garter enameled blue with the motto in gold, and in the center of each gar ter is a rose enameled red, seeded gold and green The George, a figure of the saint encountering the dragon, hangs pendent in the center.
 The star with its brilliant red cross, was founded by Charles l., and is in- tended to be worn when the knight is

neck or make the sign of the cross as a respectable man should. He never gave beggar even a centavlto, and When he met padrecito on the street he did not deign to remove his hat.
 Now it was rumored, says Modern Mexico, that this gentleman was re- sponsible for many murders and atro- clous crimes of every description but he was never confined in jail, because it was known that he had compact with the devil, so that whenever he in- Voked his Majesty he was rendered in- visible to the human eye, or at least so small that he could easily escape. He was summed by all, and he had neither friends nor relatives.
 But peculiar thing about this man was that he loved the trees, the birds and all the animals, He planted a great many trees and fed flock of birds every morning
 It was many years ago that the event of his departure took place, but 1t is still remembered by the ancient inhabitants of the neighborhood. Ev- erybody on the Haciendita ranch had attended the religious services of the morning, and they were returning to their homes when a terrific noise was heard.
 They rushed to the street where it came from, and there they saw how the earth had opened up under the feet of that hambre muy malo. He was enveloped by thick flames and smoke and quickly disappeared beneath the surface of the earth
 This was considered a just punish- ment in view of the situation, and eve- " one was exceedingly pleased. While the faithful had been attending the services of the church one had nothing else to do but place burning cigarette between the lips of an image on a big eruclfix, carried by an altar on the street. It was then that the eonven- tent cavity opened up and he was en- gulfed by the earth
 That very day all the trees which he had planted, except E Arbol Mildito, dried up and died-and so did the birds which he had fed from his own hand. An attempt was made to cut down the tree that did not dry up, but the fool- ish man who made the attempt dropped dead on stepping under the shadow of the foliage. As no one had the temerity to approach and remove 1t the mans body had to be left there to be eaten by the crows.
 SSince that day many have met a tragic death under the tree. A pedes trian who went under 1t for shade on a summer day was bitten by snake an1 died in two hours. Three men on different occasions sought shelter from rain under its branches and rweee struck by lightning.
 A woman hanging some clothes to dry from the trunk of the tree was at- tackled by a goat that came from mo- body knows where and was never seen again. Three years ago little boy, : riding burro, led his animal to the tree. He was thrown off and kicked to death.
 The last victim of the fatal tree was man by the name of Melquiades Are valo, who ran under it for shelter dur ing a rain storm a year ago, and like his predecessors he was struck by lightning.

for this tree is such that they refuse to work In the fields for half a mile around it. Some time ago Prosper1 Garcia, proprietor of the ranch where El Arbol Maldito grows, resolved to have 1t blown up with dynamite, but no doubt he has been unable to find a man brave enough to venture near a tree which shows such symptoms of a haunted life.
