Woman Shoots Lynx.

Mr.. and Mrs. n. E Carpenter. who
reside just at the foot OF 'Old Stony"
mountain. in East Riverside, have
had large and varied experience
with four-footed chicken thieves dur
ing the past year or two. Thurs
day morning of last week Mrs. Car
penter detected lynx in the act OF
seizing a chicken and ran for her
shot gun. Naturally, she was some
what excited. and when she drew a
bead" on him forgot to close one
eye, missed, of course. But,
unlike some local Nimrods We have
heard OF. she didn't allow the buck
fever to long retain possession OF
her faculties; she winked the other
eye when she pulled the trigger the
second time and Mr.. Lynx heard the
wink" and keeled over dead.-Oka-

the ship Of finance has found and rIghted
herself and is now emerging from the
buffeting and battering she received In
far better shape than even the most san
guine could hope for Now that the crisis
has been safely passed the question arises
as 10 what must be expected. All previ-
Gus panics have been followed by a sub
stantial recovery Of prices on the stock
exchange, but this In turn Is inevitably
followed by a period of more or less il-
ertia and depression. These. some fear,
will assert themselves even more mani
festly this year than on previous occa-
sions, due perhaps to the fact that there
Is always more or las unrest as the presi-
Dental year app/ baches. The saving
clause, however, TO this spirit OF unrest
which has pervaded the money centers or
the world, lies In the very soundness OF
our banks and savings institutions. Dis
honest management has been eliminated
from the banks and railroads through
out the country, and IL is perfectly safe
TO say that lawfulness and soundness
were never more prevalent than they are
today. The weakest element In the tnan-
cial world has been restricted 10 the trust
companies which centered the field with
the sole Intention Of competing with the
banks. but without those safeguards and
restrictions which surround the banks.

entirely. or on half time, which means
that thousands OF men. women and chill
dren are either thrown out OF work en-
tirely, or else their incomes have been
cut In two All indications point to n

parts of the country indicate that the
captains OF trade, finance and Industry
are cutting their cloth accordingly, which
means that the real sufferers are TO be

approaching hard times" the meat trust
has arisen to the occasion and announces
an advance OF one cent pound on all
houses. and In order to thoroughly pro-
tect himself the retailer Is adding two
cents a pound on all meats sold over his
counter. A very few years ago the clerk
who earned twelve hundred dollars a year

luxury, and invariably made II point TO

OF his horns, and the lavish expenditure
which was so marked year or so ago is
noticeably on the decrease. The automo-

The fashionable lamp shades are this
season really easier to make than those
I'm vogue during the past seasons because
they are much simpler In style and are
consequently easier OF construction. The
very fussy shirred silk and satin shades
trimmed with ruches or artificial flowers
are happily no longer in fashion and al
though the shades seen this season are
very beautiful they are all rather plain In
outline. The two little sketches show ex-
cellent models, either style being easy to
make. The shade at the left OF the cut
Is made by cutting II large circle OF hne

made TO order after the circle is cut, al
