HOLDING TIE SKIRT.

Did you ever watch a crowd of wom-
en- as the passed down the street or
stepped mincingly over a muddy cross
ing, and did you notice the many diff
ferent ways they kept their skirts from
trailing?
Some skirts are grabbed up awll-
wardly with both hands in a manner
that may protect them from soil, but
certainly does not add to the effect.
Others are Clutched in a wad at one
side, that when dropped again leaves
myriads of tiny wrinkles, while others
ere ought up carelessly in spots, leaV-
ing just enough of trail dragging to
sweep a little path along the way
American women have certainly yet
to learn the art Of holding the skirt
properly Partisan women have solved
the problem to their intense satisfac-
ton. They lift the skirt high, display
ing not only a trim foot, but a daintily
clad, well turned. ankle While this ef-

woman, IL is not one for the Ameri-
can woman TO copy For some reason,
when she lifts her skirt a bit high.
the suggestion. dainty and chic, in the
former, is lost and she only makes
of herself an object Of coarse remarks
and ridicule.
p There are fashions in lifting the skirt
as well as in skirts themselves, and it
is necessary for every woman to prac-
tice the different methods before a
glass to find the one that is most suit
able. The long clinging skirt that lies
an inch or two on the ground all the
way around, with a decided train in
the back. needs entirely different hand
ling from the full skirt with its nu-
merous pleats and folds No set rule
can be applied and the only way 10

OF practice before mirror large
enough to display the whole figure.
Grace is, or should be, the foundation
OF holding up the dress. When clutched
so low that the bod Is bent in order
to hold 1t in place, or If the shoulder
is raised and the arm thrown out In
some angular position, the effect can
not possibly be what it should.
Actresses, that is most actresses. un-
derstand the management OF long

OF the graceful movements across the

In Swabia and Hesse, the children
are sent at Easter to hunt for the
''hare's nest" there 10 find colored
Easter eggs. This custom probably
grows out of the fact that the hare is
feputed by northern mythology TO be

also from the old belief that Frigga,
the goddess who looked after children
always was attended by hares as her

United States Attorney William c.

This money is used only for witness

eminent had to dismiss the grand jury
last month, leaving great deal or
work unaccomplished. Mr.. Bristol
stared in court. that he regretted six
jury because of the organization it
had effected and the manner in which
it was performing it's work
The same condition prevailed in all
western states, and criticisms of the
niggardly appropriations of congress
for the judicial department are freely
made. A significant fact connected
with the small appropriation made
for this department is the number OF
appropriations in the senate, where a
bill was killed which asked for $780,
600 with which to investigate land
conditions throughout the country.
Although Mr.. Bristol has asked for
$4,000 to prosecute the Oregon de-
PENDANTS, it is by no means certain
he will get it. Only $4,000 was APP
portioned for the trial of the Benson
Hyde cases in Washington, which
means that the case will have to go
over until next year At least $780,
600 was needed for the Benson HYDE
case, in which more than 500 witnesses
most of whom live on the Pacific
coast, will have to be taken to Wash
ington at the governments expense.
The visit Of Secretary Garfield is
expected to result in much good for
the local office. 1t is believed that if
he can see the amount of work done
and the great field which has not yet
been touched upon, he will lend his
influence to have the Oregon appro-
priation made as large as possible.

mills in the United States. during the
year 1905, the sale of this waste ma

practice of mills of the southern
states than of the nor hern or western
states and is done Chiefly in the Car

Iowa heads by a large majority all

it being reported that 77.2 per cent of
the entire output of all the mills in
the state is surfaced. This is due to
the fact that nearly all the mills in
the state of Iowa, strewn along the
Missippi river. operate nearly alto

In the state of Washington, 34.5 per

to the statistics submitted by the de-

logging is done by firms which buy

In California 94.4 per cent of all the
logs are CIT from the lands owned
by the mill onera tors and the logging
is done nearly altogether on their own

ONE WALLA WALLA LAD
HAS HIS IDEAS OF MATCH

Charles Leifson, the 19-year- Old
wrestler, who, with James Casey and
George Klinger, are billed to meet the
champion wrestler Delivuk, Wednes-
day evening, in the armory. is the
favorite with a large number of To-
cal sports.
Though Leifson lacks the experience
of the champion, he is not entirely
green and he expresses it as his prl-
vate opinion that he can ;hrow Deli.
vuk unassisted, in the allotted time of
an hour which the three have to con-
quer him.
1t at least seems that the three
stocky lads who are picked out to
meet Delivuk should at least furnish
enough sport to make the exhibition
we'll worth the admission.
