No matter how relentless the heat, the
effect of that spraying will remain as a

next day will spray her face with very
HOT water, and she will make thor

Then comes the liberal application o'

that the thing he 80 greatly feared
had come upon him, for there is no
denying the fact that we are going to
have at least a close imitation of the
directoire costumes. Let US hope that
the native modesty Of our women will
draw the line upon the indelicate dis
play that started the crusade. The
lines Of the directoire as 1t Is offered
us now are graceful and really artistic.
II they do not become exaggerated as
we grow accustomed to them we need
not complain. There are mob caps and
coats. such as our great-grandmothers
wore, and as to the other hats there
are not words long enough or large
enough in the English language to
depict them. but some of them are
sights to see. And the silly little coats
that seem to have no earthly reason
for being unless to hang about some
rather ungraceful figure and thus dis
tract the eye from the defects! They
are not warm. they certainly are not
cool. they are not pretty. nor are they
useful from any point Of view. STILL
they are here. Some are of lace, some
Of silk and others seem to be Of any
thing one likes that will hang well.
The new styles have made 1t neces-
sary to produce new fabrics or at least
new weaves. Tussah roya!e is one of
them. This must not be confounded
with tussore, for tussore is silk, while
the former Is wool and mohair. Tus-

secretly regretful that she is not OF

fessed to me that her favorite books

gentle little essays also, and the

George Eliot and conventional
Young men and women delighting

Special to Times-Republican.
Clarinda, Dec. 1O.-George and Henry
Dyke, twin brothers, aged 20 years,
were burned to death early this morn
ing at Hepburn, a small town eight
miles north of Clarinda.
George Dyke had been living in a
dugout on the railroad right-of-way,
but had just completed small house
from lumber furnished him by the cit
izens OF the community, who had pro-
yided him also with a lot and who had
objected to Dykes mode of living.
Henry, the twin brother of George, who
had been making his home with
Charles Frame in Hepburn, went to
make his brother a visit yesterday, and
to remain all night. In the shanty
home had been placed a small stove,
the pipe from which was extended thru
the roof, and it is believed that the fire
started from the stove or pipe.
About 5 o'clock this morning when
Frank Ramsey, a mail carrier, discov-
cred the house to be ON fire, he broke
in the door and window and attempted
to rescue the two men, but the flames
drove him back.
The Dyke brothers were the remnant
of family which was prominent in
Page county at an early day. The bod
les of the two men were burned to a
crisp.

Of the oil field which Barnsdall oper-
ated. Two contracts, in fact, covered
the transaction of the loan OF $500, 900,
and the security given by Barnsdall
was the bulk of the stock of the Barns
dali Oil company, mortgages on coal
lands, and rights in Oklahoma. These
same securities, William A. Rockefeller
testified on the witness stand a year
ago, were practically worthless. in his
opinion. This made Barnsdalps prop

sci hopes to show it was that practice
