If one has the least cleverncss In
gowning, 1t should not be a difficult
thing to be smartly arrayed this sea
son. as many of the most desirable
models can be copied very inexpen-
Eively, If materials are well chosen.
Daintiness and simplicity mark the
most desirable frocks, rather than
lavish trimmings. and although many
of the more elaborate frocks show
quantities of handwork. the expense
of the model depends more on the fine
materials used and the time required
for the hand embroidery ct cetera.
than on the applied trimmings.
For simple frocks the Jumper"
styles are still in evidence. but are in
danger of becoming a little common.

at the thought of my brutal behavior,

Miss Carney had given me every
evidence of her regard that she

The Baptists of Denver have been
interested in the case of Rev. Charles
st. Clair Mathews. who is serving a
sentence in the county jail for va
grancy, and an effort is being made
to raise sufficient money to send him
back to his family in Hays City. Kan
sas, as soon as he is able to travel.
Rev. Mr.. Mathews is said to have
served in the Baptist ministry for
many years, but contracted the NOR
phine habit sixteen years ago while he
was suffering from typhoid fever. He
was eventually cured of the use of this
drug, and in its stead he resorted to
the use of whisky as stimulant. He
came TO Denver hoping to take up his
life work, but was found by the police
under such conditions that he was
committed as a vagrant.
Secretary W. f. Collect of the Colo
RADIO Prison Association, who investi-
gated the case, is assisting Mathews to
regain his freedom and secure funds
with which to leave the city.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan.-William
January, alias Charles w. Anderson.
for whose pardon petition containing
the signatures of $4,000 persons was
presented to President Roosevelt three
months ago was released from the fed
eral prison here.
Anderson will return to Kansas City
where he will engage in business. He
denied a report that ne intends to OPP
crate a pool hall.
Anderson was convicted eleven years
ago of robbing an Oklahoma postoffice
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
three years. He escaped two years
later and went to Kansas City, as
sumed the name OF Anderson and mar
ried. In April this year an ex-convict
who had known January in the peni-
Tertiary notified the warden of the
mans whereabouts and he was rear
rested and taken back to Leavenworth.
Owing to the exemplary life Ander'
son had led In Kansas City his neigh
bors started a movement for his re-
lease. The newspapers took up tho
case with the result that petition
which is said to have contained the
largest number of signatures ever ap-
pended to an appeal for a pardon was
forwarded to Washington. President
Roosevelt reviewed the case. and. upon
recommendation of Attorney General
Bonaparte. granted a pardon effective
at the expiration of three months from
the time of his rearrest. January has
proven model prisoner. He says he
will seek to have his citizenship re-
stored and II successful will then ask
the courts to change his name to An
derson for the protection of his wife
and child.
