ANTELOPE RACE WITH CARS.
Multiplying Rapidly on the Plains
of Eastern Colorado

MuitIplying Rapidly on the Platnk
of Eastern Colorado.
Railroad men running into Denver
on the prairie lines from the East say
that antelope are becoming so plentiful
In the vicinity Of Fort Morgan. Wray,
Brush and Akron that herds of from
thirty to fifty are no uncommon sight,
and many of them have become so tame
that they race along the railroad tracks
for miles.
The law against the killing of ante
lope contains p clause allowing their
being hunted from Oct 10 to Oct. % in
1907, for the first time in several years
During the last few years the antelope
has been increasing rapidly. They fire.
quent the neighborhood of the smaller
towns and many families in Fort Nor
gan have captured young antelope and
raised them as pets. They have also
increased in the South, Middle and
North parks. although they frequent
the prairies more than the mountains.
1t is said that the cactus-covered
plains in the counties in the eastern
part of Colorado furnish the best adapt
ed place in the country for the rearing
Of the young of the antelope The
young are usually born in a hollow
scooped cut of the sand by the mother
in the midst of a thicket of cactus. In
this way the baby antelope are safe
from the depredations of prairie wolves
and coyotes, who are not able to pene-
trate the cactus thicket, while the moth
er can jump over the hedge without in
juring herself. The coyotes are only
feared by the young antelope, the older
animals being able to protect them
selves
An agitation is now spreading among
sportsmen to have the short open sea-
son for antelope provided for this year
permanent fer week each year. They
claim the animals have increased so in
the last few years that no injury will
be done in a short open season.

Dressmakers who have difficulty in
pressing curved seams will find a roll
ing pin good pressing board, if a
clean cloth be wrapped around it.
When putting steel or whalebone into
bodice, bend them slightly at the
waist before putting into casing. You
will find the bodice will fit to the figure
much better.
When putting on a collar make neck
of bodice or blouse slightly smaller
than base of collar band, and notch
bodice here and there while putting
collar on. BY so doing you avoid wrin-
kles.
All shirtwaist sleeves should be
fitted with the arms crossed behind
the back of the head as well as in 9th

necessary length from the armhole to
the elbow can never be a comfortable
one: it will always drag. and in many
cases make the back of the blouse
draw and wrinkle between the shout
ders.
The shades Of bronze green bid fair

FORGOTTEN COIN is PUT OUT.
Columbian Half Dollar Refused, as
Its NaIue Is Not KNOWN

It's Value Is Not Known
Since Oct. 10 the treasury depart
ment has put into circulation more
than $4,000 in half dollars of the Co.
lumbar worlds fair coinage of 1893.
Many are in circulation here in Wash
ington and their quaint design Is the
cause of innumerable refusals by clerks
and cashiers not familiar with the al
most forgotten Issue.
The cashier in a 18th street lunch
room was rendered one Of the Column
bian halves recently in payment of a
Accent purchase. This coin happened
to be the only one in t\e purchasers
possession, and as the value received
was the lunch just finished by the
guest and the clerk refused to accept
the coin, the former was placed in a
rather embarrassing position. No
amount of argument could convince
the cashier that the coin was valuable
A friend finally came to the purchasers
rescue with the exact amount to pay
him out.
Cashier True of the treasury depart
ment says that numbers of inquiries
are made as to the real worth of these
coins. Nearly $2,500,0O0 were coined
In 1898 and large part of these coins
was never put into circulation, but was
dumped into the reserve fund. The
government some weeks ago began to
purchase silver for subsidiary coins, but
the price scared and no more silver
has been bought. The country was
clamoring for subsidiary coins, and as
there were about 10000 Columbian
half dollars in the reserve fund these
were put into circulation.-washin

There's not the slightest doubt that
to make a home that is always full
of charm takes work and thought. But
1t Is worth the price, isn't it? 1t Is
yours TO make home place that is the
most loved spot ON earth to your hus-
band,or the one that fills him with the
greatest sense of WEAKNESS and repul-
sion-a place to fly to, or one to Fly
away from-which is it to be?
Before a man is married he thinks
of possessing home as goal toward
which to work. He looks forward to 1t
as a place of peace and rest where he
will go to throw down the troubles of
life and be soothed and conforted. he
sees himself sitting down to daintily
prepared and served meals. opposite a
cheerful and neatly dressed wife.
When, instead of this, he finds him
self returning home at night to an III
kept, ilI-managed house; when he sits
down opposite frowsy woman to
dinner, of overdone meat and under
done bread; when, in place of the peace
and rest he expected, he finds that he
has added all of the multifarious wor-
ries of housekeeping to his own bust
ness cares, all his ideals of marriage
and home and love are scattered at one
fell blow.
He has struck the upgrade of matrl-
mony, where it is just one long, life
less, spiritless pull. 1t is to the ever
lasting disgrace of woman that 1t is her
hand that oftenest first plucks the illu.

who marries faces the question of the
kind of home she VIII make, and de-

1t looks as though the clothing OF
women is growing less substantial all

new weaves of this class which are
among the loveliest materials of the
season. Satin sultan is one of these,
a marvelously lustrous and soft silk of
considerable body and with distinct
cord weave, though the surface seems
absolutely smooth. Still more beauti-
full is the satin, velour, which has Il
velvet finish but is as light and supple
as the softest crepe. This satin velour
has been received with acclaim by the
great dressmakers.

Hurricane Mt Hongkona.

A terrific rain squat broke over
Hongkong Monday morning and in the
space of ten minutes sunk over fifty
Chinese craft in the harbor, more than
100 natives being drowned. The har-
Dor was Uttered with the wreckage Of
the sunken junks. During the squall
the river steamer Paul Bean broke
adrift, but she was brought to an an
Choir without sustaining any damage.
Hongkong is an island belonging to
Great Britain, lying off the southeast
coast of China. The island was ceded
by the treaty of 1912, made at Nanllin,
China. The roadstead has a wcll-pso-
tected anchorage Victoria. the capital
(itself commonly called Hongkong) is
situated on a magnificent bay of the
same name. setting up into tie north
side of the island.
Hongkong is the great center of for
eign trade of China. The exports of
the island are roughly estimated at
$125, 100000 and the imports at $780,
100000 As British colony on Chi
nese soil it is most important in its
political and defensive position, and
is the headquarters of military and ma
val establishments.
On Sept IS. 1906 the island was Wis
tied by a typhoon. when the loss of
life was over 5000. mostly Chinese,
and the damage to property was esti-
mated at S20,O0000G.

Conl Min.e Disasters.

Near Saarbrucken. Rhenish Prussia,
nearly $50 coal miners were entombed
at the Reden shaft by an explosion OF
fire damp When the first report was
sent out, 164 bodies had been recovered
from the mine, seventeen were taken
out dangerously injured and upward of
go miners were missing. The mines
at REDEEM all belong to the German gov
ernment The strata of coal in the re-
cion are often curiously dislodged.
A terrible disaster involving the loss
of many lives occurred in coal mine
at LEVIN, in the Courieres district,
France. The catastrophe was due to
an explosion of fire damp in one of the
pits.
Less than year ago similar dis
aster occurred at Courrieres, France,
near Calais, when 1919 men were en-
tombed in a burning coal mine. A
terrific explosion was heard shortly
after the force of miners had descend
ed for the days work, and almost inn
mediately smoke and poisonous gases
poured from the mouth of the shafts
and the entire interior became a mass
of roaring flames. Some of those near
est the surface made their escape or
were rescued, but of 1,T95 men only
SO were brought TO the surface, and
many of these were dead. The disas-
ter was the worst ever recorded in
France, and was traced directly to
