FOR A DAINTY c

There are some very neat little but
terfiy ties-to be tied by the wearer-
in soft silk, embroidered taffeta and
linen. They certainly make a beauti-
little bow and n which,, no mat
ter how "thumby" ones fingers are,
will always be successful. The pref
test collar is certainly a high batiste
collar, a tiny batiste flounce
either plated or fiuted bordering it..
The ties attached to these collars are
less worthy of praise, as their nds
were trimmed with quite unnecessary
little basiste LOUNGES like the collar.

Saltcoats, Sask., Dec. 8, 1909.
To the Editor-Dear Sir:
1 willingly give you the result Of my
four and a half years experience in
the District Of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here I farmed In
Baldwin, st. Croix County, Wis, and
as / have heard a great deal about the
Canadian Northwest, l decided to take
a trip there and see the country for
myself. l was sc impressed with the
richness of the soil that l bought half
a section of land about five miles from
the town of .Saltcoats. moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year 1 broke 30 acres, which I crop
ped in 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of
100 acres, I had "a bushels wheat and
35 bushels Of oats per acre. In 1906,
with IT'S acres under crop, 1 had %
bushels wheat and 45 bushels Of oats
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that / am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, l have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when l get
such a good return for my labor.
To any n thinking about coming to
this country l can t%ruthfully say that
If they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifes, they are bound to
get On. Some things l would like diff
ferent, but take the country all round,
l don't know where to go to get a bet
ter. Yours truly,
(Signed) O. b. OLSON.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Ia
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi.
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; pine
eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an int1amed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catnrrht
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

of the hypothetical question quoting
DR.. Evans, the defendants principal
alfenist, who testified that during one
of his visits to the Tombs Thaw had
said to him that his eyes were better
than DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton.
DR.. Hamiltons eyes. Thaw said,
looked like those of an insane man.
Thaw, who was following the question
from printed copy looked across the
court room at DR.. Hamilton and they
smiled and nodded to each other.
Mr.. Garvan finished reading the hy-
pothetical question a 4:26. the actual
reading having occupied one hour and
8 minutes.
Jerome then arose and asked DR.
Flint II in his opinion as scientific
man, Thaw when he shot White, knew
the nature and quality of the act, and
that the act was wrong.
In my opinion said DR.. Flint, 1.-The
person described as H. K. T. when he
shot S. W. knew the nature and knew
the act was wrong
This concluded Mr.. Jerome's exam
nation and he turned DR.. Flint over
to Mr. DelmaS for cross examination.

gerald granted the request. Former
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin was

EXPERTS CALLED.
Jcrome's Hypothetical Question Takes
Time of Thaw Trial.

New York, March 15.-When court
convened Thursday afternoon for the
Thaw trial, District Attorney Jerome
called upon six of his experts to be
sworn These were Flint. Hersch.
Diefendorf, Mabon. Pritchard and
Ferris
After ali had taken the oath Mr.. Je-
rome directed DR.. Flint to take the
stand. Mr.. Jerome said he intended
to qualify each witness as to his bill
would line up the six alienists and
read the hypothetical question to all
at once. He said he understood Mr..
Delmas only yesterday to assent to
this plan.
Mr.. Delmas said he was given the
question only this morning and had
not time to go into it. He was not pre-
pared to plunge into the cross exam
tnation at this time. Mr.. Jerome said
he would insist that each witness be
cross exa mined before the next was
called. Mr.. Delmas then, with some
show of feeling. said he would refuse
TO goi nto any stipulation whatever in
regard to the examination of the wit
nesses. Mr. Jerome then said he would
have to read his question to each wit
ness separately. First, however, Mr..
Jerome said he would read the hypo-
thetical question asked the experts for
the defense by Mr.. Delmas and call
for an opinion from his alienists on
that question Following this he would
ask for an opinion on his own ques-
ton.
DIR. Flint stated his qualifications as
an expert, who had for % years made
a speciality of mental diseases and has
many times testified as an expert. He
said he had read the letters placed in
evidence, the will and codicil and the
letter to Anthony Comstock.
Mr.. Jerome then began to read to
the witness the hypothetical question
which Mr.. Delmas had submitted to
his experts.

GAMBLERS TO QUIT.
Public Opinion Too Strong in Both
New Mexico and Arizona

By the middle of this year licensed
public gambling will probably have
disappeared from the territories of
the United States The ease and ap-
parent Willingness with which the til
ger has surrendered surprises some
people who looked for a fight.
But the end has been approached SO
gradually, through regulation and high
license, that even the gamblers them
selves were prepared for 1t. 1t is a
complete surrender by what was once
regarded as an impregnably intrench-
ed evil. This passing of the profess
sional gambler shows the advance of
public sentiment, due to persistent agi-
tation. and it follows naturally the dis
appearance of the frontier. There are
no longer any wickedest towns.
Where the gamblers will go or what
they will do is not certain. The Ari-
IONA closing law becomes effective
April l, and it is expected that by July
1 a similar law will be in effect in New
Mexico. A number of the Arizona pro-
fessionals will doubtless come up into
New Mexico to think the matter over,
and then drift down into old Mexico,
or ever into Nevada where everything
is still wide open.
One reason why the gamblers have
given up is that the business of public
gambling no longer pays-there is
nothing in it. The high license fee in
this territory. $500 a year for each ia
BILE, and the disappearance of COW
towns and mining camps have caused
the profits to dwind1e. The writer has
been in Ration for about two months,
and in that time has not seen or heard
of a game worth mentioning.
Unless a stranger wanders into a
saloon he would never suspect that
public gam bling is a source of revenue
for the support. of the public schools
here. Last summer, when couple Of
new railroads were being built into this
city. there was high play. but since
then the business has been dead.
There is practically no playing at all
in daytime, and at night there are
only a few isolated games of poker.
Once a month. on the occasion of
railway pay day, the roulette wheels
may whir1 for night. and then dust
settle on them again. Nor is there
perceptible anywhere the demoraliza-
ton which is supposed to accompany
the legal recognition of public gam
bling. This town of 5000 inhabitants
is as quiet and orderly and clean NOR
ally as any town of like size in the
United States
When the leading gambler of Ration
was questioned as to the outlook he
said:
They've got the drop on US and we
must submit. It's poor consolation.

UNCLE SAM IN $4,000. 900.
Collector Holds Queer Little Bills and
Won't Give Them Up.

1t has been long since our pocket
books were puffed up as they were
when fractional currency was in its
prime. No doubt many who now
smooth out and fold up the long
green" at regular pay days have but
faint recollections of the times when
the pretty little notes. about as big
as an ordinary visiting card, and bear
ing denominations of 3, 5. 10, Is, %
and so cents were in circulation.
1t was On the 18th of March, 1862,
when Salmon P. Chase was secretary
of the treasury that Mr.. Hooper, of
Massachus introduced into the
bill TO authorize payment in stamps
and to prohibit the circulation of notes
of less denomination than ST. Many
banks were then issuing small notes.

became a law almost Immediately, and
then the little currency notes were
launched out as good money.

760.27. This sort of money was issued
very rapidly for awhile. but it was also
being almost constantly redeemed.
The issues did not go beyond $50. 000.-
900 at clip. but there was all sorts of
ways IN which it became lost in the
hurry burly and hustling of the times.
It became limp and ragged by con-
slant use and could hardly be kept in
good shape. 1t was never so tough
and hardened as the bills of today, and
the almost constant REDEEM ption of
soiled and ragged notes kept a large
iorce of clerks in the department al
ways busy. Much of 1t was lost 1t
was by this that the government was
a gamer. People throughout the coun-
try sent all sorts of petitions to the

losses.
Some of it was kept in the summer
time in kitchen stoves, and when the
good housewives kfndled their fires in
the autumn, forgetting their little
notes, as they frequently do now about
large notes, they burned to ashes, and
Uncle Sam was a gamer by their loss.
Sometimes from the farms away off
in the country came doleful letters, ac-
companied by affidavits and words or
honor, explaining that little bundles of
them were accidentally dropped and
hogs made a meal of them. All of this
was a calamity to the owners of the
currency, but a gain to the govern
ment.
or all the three hundred and odd
millions of fractional currency there
are now outstanding about $15,000,-
900. The discontinuance of printing
fractional notes happened in the mid
die of 1875, when specie payments
were resumed and the coinage of sub
sidiary silver money was authorized.
There IS little chance of any further
reduction of paper fractional currency
being demanded. Last year it was so
small an amount as to be practically
nil. 1t was hardly over $1,000.
Some curious folks might be dispos-
ed to wonder why, of all the 15,00O.-
600 of fractional currency that are
now somewhere in the land, some of

SOO0
greenbacks of today secured in ex-
change. Taking everything into con-
sfderation there is as much chance for
the government redeeming these out
standing notes, even II 1t desired to.
as there is for the redemption of the
old continental notes that were used
to pay off the government debts dur
ing the revolutionary war The COM
parative!y small amount of fractional
currency that exists today is consid
cred a great treasure by those who
hold 1t. 1t represents a most trying
period in the country's financial his
tory. The funny little notes are being
held as souvenirs by thousands. They
can be found in albums In libraries
and institutions of all kinds through
out the country they are framed and
carefully cherished and guarded. If
there are persons who possess any of
the fractional currency notes and want
to dispose of them for subsidiary sill
yer coin or for greenbacks they would
not at this late day present them to
the treasury for redemption Uncle
Sam has no sentiment. He would pay
face value and nothing more.
There are some folks who would be
glad if congress would renew the frac-
tfonal currency law It is so easy when

or concert hall singers were put out of
business by territorial enactment.
Then came a further Tightening of
the lines, which did not become eff
fective without struggle-the law
against packing guns. BY the six
shooter law every man, on arrival in
town or city, was compelled to shed
his revolverS and cartridges and leave
them in the custody of some resident
until he was ready to go home or to
pay fine of from $50 to $500 If he
refused or neglected to do so. Still
heavier fines were imposed for using
or brandishing a deadly weapon.

sidering n bill providing that "any per-
son within the territory of New Mex

As in all reforms the impeIling force
has been a gradually crystallizing pub
lie opinion. Both Arizona and New
Mexico nave am bit1onS in the direction
OF statehood. The defeat of the joint
proposition last fall has increased the
rivalry between them.
The threat of the I4ittlefie1d bill put
Arizona on her good behavior, and
now New Mexico is compelled to fol-
low suit. In their excess of zeal, how
ever, some Arizona municipalities have
gone too far.
The Arizona gambling law Is due to
take effect April 1. But Prescott, the
capital city, could not wait until then
to show off her newly donned white
robes of virtue, and passed an anti
gambling ordinance. effective Febru-
airy I, which shut down all 40 of her
public games and interfered seriously
with social diversions.
The ordinance prohibits the playing
Of euchre for prizes. and all other
gambling games popular in social cir
cles are likewise put under ban. Here
after the Prescott woman who offers
her guests prizes for winning any
game of chance or skill puts herself
exactly on the same plane, so far as
liability to arrest and punishment is
concerned, with the gambler who
backs q crap game. Fear of enforce
ment of the new ordinance has also
stopped the giving of prizes at parties
