BOSS IN HIS OWN COURT.
Montana Judge Refused to Llsten to
 Point of Law.

: At one time. the supreme court is- sued supervisory writ directing Judge Clancy, of Montana, to make a certain order In a case, either grant ing or refusing a right to Amalaga- mated, so that the matter might be finally deterNned in the higher tri- bunal When this was brought to the Judges attention, he announced that he would take the matter under advise ment. The judge had taken ment and they had never been heard of afterwards; 1t was one way of al lowing Heinze ample time to extract valuable ore bodies from the disputed ground. Under the decision of the supreme court, we arc entitled to an immediate order" said L. o. Evans, the Amalgamated attorney, who pre- sented the matter in court. Well. I'm not going to give 1t to you" came back the reply from the bench. Our only recourse will be another appeal to the supreme court" said MT. Evans. "You can go to the supreme court, or anywhere else you please" said the judge. This court can be punished for contempt" Co away, go away shouted the judge, waving his long arms belligerently toward the lawyer. You talk like town fool I used to know back in Missouri.

FAITH IN HER NINE LIVES.
Cat Took Chances In Flying Leap
 from Burning Building.

During a fire in the tenement house at 124 West One Hundred and Second street the other day large black cat, with shiny yellow eyes, appeared on a window sill of the fifth story. Behind 1t dull red glow and an occasional puff of smoke gave warning that the flames were rapidly approaching. Fuss understood, and, after short walk on the sill, launched herself into space. The flight through the air was like that of squirrel, the boise being per feet and the legs spread out as widely as possible The cat descended in a long, graceful curve, and when she struck the pavement the feet were quickly punched together and there was no dull thud." For single in- stant the cat paused. as if to recover from the shock, and then, with long drawn meouw and every hair on end, dashed along the street and disap- peared in the darkness.-N. Y. Sun.

A HOMEMADE RosETTE.
Easily Made Affair That Will Help
 the Slipper.

It is the ambition of every girl and young woman to own some of the dainty satin suede slippers in white or gay colors that are now so much in vogue. But, unfortunately, to the av- craze woman these slippers. especial ly where 1t is necessary to have number of them to match different gowns, prove an expensive luxury far beyond the reach of a moderate al- lowance.
 One thrifty young person, however. not to be daunted by obstacles. has hit upon way of providing herself with the most up-to-date looking slip pers at minimum cost. She buys a perfectly plain pair of suede slippers of good shape, but destitute of bow or buckle. at less than half the cost of the decorated ones, and then proceeds to trim them herself with the new knotted ribbon rosettes which are seen on all the high-class dancing slip pers.
 These rosettes are so easy to make that any girl can concoct them. Buy seven yards of ribbon about half an inch wide and the azact shade of the slipper. Divide f "a two parts, and cut each half into two-inch pieces. Tie each of these short pieces in loose knot directly in the middle and fold the piece over so the two ends come together and the knot is on top
 Then cut out round piece of crino- line and sew the knotted pieces on it, beginning at the outer edge and working in toward the center until full, pretty rosette is made. This should then be sewed securely to the. top of the slipper.
 It is surprising how such simple little affair will improve cheap, new slipper, or freshen up an old pair, even one that has been discarded as having seen ts best days.

of the new models furnish what is bizarre in the hats. There Is new dull blue, called in Paris blue mort, which figures prominently in the new millinery, and there is a line of egg shell blue and green which melt into each other so that one hardly knows whether to call the shades blue or green. Here is an example in blue mort chip decorated with plume combining the eggshell blue and green and the inevitable brown appears in a crushed band of taffeta which en- circles the crown.

How They Do It.

People wonder how a Morgan, Q Hartman, Ryan, a Wanamaker can carry on such prodlgous enterprises. The secret, according to Success, lies in their ability to protect themselves through a mighty system by being able to choose men who will fit the places they are put in, men who can carry out their employers programme to the letter and can be hired to take their risks.

Waist Coat -Model< Tailor &c

During the summer there are not many
demands for the so-called restaurant gown,
but still there are times when high even
ing gown is necessary and yet one desires
the comfort of not wearing a high stiff
collar-for if there Is collar at all it must
be high can be worn without permit
ting the material to wrinkle, and, although
transparent, the five or seven feather
bones that are necessary are far from
comfortable. For this purpose the Dutch
neck has remained steadfasuy in vogue
and has been adopted most of all by school
girls, debutantes and young matrons; but
today it is seen cut and shaped somewhat
differently on many of the handsomest
chiffon and lace costumes. The French
dinner and theater dress, with its low
square cut or V-shape collarless yoke, has
never found favor with American women;

Do Americans Dress Too Showily?

NE of the first exclamations of for
eigners visiting America concerns
~ the showiness OF costume which is
noticed in women OF good position. In New
York especially there is thought TO be too
little distinction between the gowns Of
a lady, in the old-fashioned acceptance of
the word and those OF her sisters of less
enviable reputation
The difficulty Is not, perhaps, because the
society women OF America gown themselves
too gayly, but because they are often in
discreet in their selections OF the modes
which come here directly from Paris.
After the Americans we purify Is a
current remark In Paris concerning tie
seasons fashions. The most pronounced
and often outre styles are sent TO America,
since here the market is sufficiently broad
and varied to take in all sorts and condi-
tions There is, besides, money, and 10

women.

weaves. A pleasing novelty is plain cloth
crossed at regular intervals with a half
