no THEIR FIGUREs.


When will women learn that to eat
and drink moderately, take plenty OF
exercise and every possible bit OF
fresh air they can get, Is the way 10
do their very best by their races ana
figures.
There is a perfect craze for slender
( figures just now, induced, OF course
largely by che incoming of the Prih-
cess Empire grown.
Almost every woman one Knows Is
doing something-dieting being mask
ed, and worrying herself over her
weight, which positively declines to
get less. These are the days OF the
figure, the face taking secondary
place, because it is on the figure that
cur sex dependsafor style, and we are
worshippers of style in these days.
We have figures on our minds badly
enough, and with some it is actually
an obsession.
Dining at a smart restaurant the
other night we noticed that severa!
women sent away course after course,
almost untouched, and dined, appar-
emily, ON diet of beef unaccompanied.
The walters showed much concern,
the mead waiter looked down hearted,
the men of the party conscientiously
covered the, shortcomings of the
ladies and watched us with favor con-
Stunning the good things the chefs had,
provided
The others were dieting, and one
was hilarious because in three months
she had got rid of six pounds in
weight; another was depressed be-
cause her abstinence was having no
effect, and third was better in health
and bigger in person.
They were really all rather funny;
they weighed themselves twice a day,
and kept register like temperature
chart, and in their treatment studied
what really was the best thing ror
them
Still. they were none of them sylph-
like, though each had quite a nice,
form.
One was working like a cOolie at
golf, a game which she frankly de-
tesed; another was skating, in con-
slant terror of breaking her bones, all
to try to dissolve their too solid flesh;
yet it stuck to them closer tnan a
brother, and they all felt that they
would look guys in Princess frocks
or long-skirted plain coats.-New
York Globe.
MANY FRET OVER SMALL THINGS
Has it ever occurred to you that 1t
may be portion of your part on the
program of life to make mistakes and
appear ridiculous in the eye of your
fellowmen?
Once in a while, for purposes too Sc
cret for you to fathom, someone must
play the fool, in order that the process
sion of numbers way move off right
and the climax appear as was intend
ed by the great master of ceremonies,
whose name is Destiny.
Don't mind too much, then, your
failures and mistakes and foolishness.
All men have known such moments
of humiliation. The wisest and most
noble were never wise and noble at
all times.
What right have you to expect al
ways to shine in the eyes of others
to play always heroic and applauded
part? 1t is part of your relations with
men that you should at times appear
in a foolish or ignominious cast.
Accept 1t all as portion of life and
your actions will take their right
place in perspective leaving no bitter
ness Of remorse or humiliation.-New
Haven Register.

Will PROSECUTE
THE BOYCOTTERS
CARTWRIGHT LAW TO BE INVOK-
ED BY CALHOUN FOR THIS PUR-
POSE.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The
legal department of the United Rail-
roads is preparing cases against per-
sons connected with firms and asso-
Citations in this city for violations of
the Cartwright antitrust law. The
prosecutions themselves will have to
be brought by the District Attorney or
the Attorney-General. Cartwright has
said that it was his intention when
framing the law that prosecutions for
its infractions should be brought by
the Attorley-Ge But whoever
brings the prosecution, the company S
legal staff is preparing the cases, and
when completed they will be submit
ted to the proper prosecuting officer.
Patrick Calhoun said yesterday:
81 will not say at this time whom we
shall prosecute under the Cartwright
law, but shall bring some actions with
out loss of time. The law covers two
or more persons who enter into an
| agreement restraining trade and is
very broad in it's scope. Under the
law actions can be brought against the
| officers Of a union who issue an order
to the members to keep off the cars OF
| the United Railroads under pain of a
fine or they may be brought against
any member of a firm or corporation
who issues a similar order to his en-
ployes under pain of dismissal. An ac-
ton might also be brought against any
member of a firm who refused to serve
a customer for having ridden on the
cars of the company. The law Of
course, covers general boycotts as wei
as these individual cases"
Calhoun refused TO mention any spe.
ciiic cases that would be prosecuted.

14,OO0-MILE RACE

OF SAILING SHIPS
PORTLAND May 27.-Liverpool adj
vices give an interesting account of
a long distance race participated in by
the British ship Invernesshire, Captain
Tindall; the British ship Stronsa, Cap
tain Jones, and the French ship La
Perouse, Captain Corves. These YES

The two British ships were bound to
the Mersey and the La Perouse to the
Channel, for orders.
After parting from their tugs the
ships separated and never sighted one
another during their $4,000 mile voy-
age. Invernesshire was the first to
arrive, reaching the Mersey May I'd,
after passage of 1876 days. La Perouse
was reported off Falmouth May 4th for
Hamburg, taking 1913 days. Stronsa
reached Liverpool May 18th, in 139
days. Before sailing from Astoria the
three captains made up a pool on the
result.

Theodore Tilton, author and journal
istfi, was born in New York in 1885. He
was successfully editor of the indie
pendent, the Golden Age and the
Brooklyn Union. In 1874 Mr.. Tilton
sued Henry Ward Beecher for 100000
damages for alienation of Mrs. Tilton's
affections The trial lasted 112 days
and resulted in a disagreement. The
trial did not seriously affect Beecher's
reputation, but it ruined 1ilton, for
it revealed that he had been guilty Of
the grossest ingratitude to the man
who had made him what he was. After
it was over Tilton left for France,
and he never returned. Tilton devoted
himself to writing, but he never pro-
duced anything in prose or verse that
was of lasting merit.
To his intimate friends Mr.. Tilton
seldom or never spoke of his wife or
Mr.. Beecher. One of his friends, with
whom he happened to be on the day
he learned of Mr.. Beecher's death, said
Mr. Tilton, after he heard the news,
did not utter a word for five minutes
and when he did speak it was of other
things. Mr.. Tilton's daughter, who
lives in the United States, has of re-
cent years wanted him to return to
America, but he always refused.

THEODORE TILION
EXPATRIATED AMERICAN DIES IN

fact that school is soon TO begin

their children to school when
ever there is nothing else to do,
to read this law and then COM
ply with its provisions. The
education of our children shout d
be the very frst thing in the
minds of all parents, an d it is q
sad commentary on the Ameri
can people that such laws as
this have to be passed to force
those parents who are either
careless or Indifferent or have
other things for their children
to do besides which an educa.
tion pales into insignifican ce, to
send their boys and girls to
public schools. to teach them not
only the branches taught but
the fundamental principles of
higher and nobler citizenship,
which has made our republic
the great nation that it now is.
Every person having under
his control q child between the
age of eight and fourteen years
both inclusive, shall annually
cause such child TO regularly at.
