TO MAKE HEMsTlTcHING EASY.
Device That Will Go Far to Save
Strain on the Eyes.

1t is considered part of girls edu-
cation to be skilled in all kinds of
fancy work. If one is efficient in this
art it is a great help, for nothing is
more dainty or prettier than fine
needlework done with care.
Hemstitchng is in vogue just now,
and there are many useful things it
can ornament-handkerc collars,
tablecloths, etc, all Of which can be
made more attractive by a little ex-
ira labor.
The stitch is easy to learn; the only
trouble arises from the fact that it is
hard on the eyes as we'll as the hands.
To save both, a comfortable way is
to take heavy piece of silk black
velvet ribbon of a dark shade and
place it between the finger and the
goods. This will show the threads,
making it easy on the eyesight and
keeping the finger from eing pricked.
When preparing the work, if one
finds that the threads will not draw
easily take piece of hard soap and
rub the material gently with it. This
keeps the threads from breaking and
makes the work easier and quicker.

There are many new pendants which
may be used as brooches or even
hairpins. They are made with a
golden loop at the top that fits over
the chain, but the broochpin and hair
pin both screw into n tiny hole in the
back of the middle of the design.
Some canoes, being such heavy
ornaments, are arranged so that for
pendants they are very large, but
when used as brooches the cameo
may be taken out of the frame and
fixed SO that it may he pinned on to
the dress. OF course, the cameo would
not be used as a decoration for the
couture, for such pins are usually Of
diamonds or some other glittering
stone.

present the top of the fashion, and the
woman who owns a bolero of white
will have coat that is appropriate
with almost any costume in her ward
robe AT the waist line the bolero is
finished in tucks and placed above
the added band, and If braiding is not
used. tilet net might be embroidered
and used on the coat.
The little triangular piece at the bot
tom of the front is very easily omitted
If desired; in fact. it might be used as
sort of adjunct to the jacket. for
when it is to be worn closed the tri-
angular piece must be hooked into
place. but when the jacket is to be
worn open it is unnecessary.
The back. of course. is treated in en-
actly the same way as the front, al
though the neck must be higher. and
therefore the added piece of the ma
terial somewhat broader. while the
braiding around the waist may be ar
ranged in whatever way is most be-
coming to the figure for which it is in
tended.
Thus new jacket may be made
with comparatively little work. or an
old jumper may be altered to suit the
last dictate of fashion, and, no matter
which method is used. the result
should be entirely satisfactory to even
the most fastidious.

Moderate Socialists Prevail.

Chicago.-An open letter addressed
to President Roosevelt, severely scor-
ing the president for his alleged dis
paraging remarks about Socialists in
his last message to Congress, caused
a lively debate at the Socialist nation
al convention. When the final vote
was taken it appeared that majority
of the delegates agreed with the lead
ers, who held that the letter was not
proper in tone nor in diction to be sent
from a national convention to the pres
ident of the United States. and by a
decisive vote refused to sanction it.

own through the business depression, the Imperial Valley has forged ahead and today it is booming despite the approach of summer. It's progress can not be stayed Up to rev years ago it was desert. Except where water is turned on the land 1t still is desert But the available water is practically unlimited for the whole Colorado river is at it's command. The soil cannot be excelled in quality. This land made productive by the water of the Colo rado, surrounded on every side by desert, below the level of the sea, naturally can produce fruits and vege. tables earlier and in more profusion than in any other section of the couE- try Extreme heat, plenty of water and wonderful soil absolutely insure the future of the valley
 And besides, the Imperial Valley has a leader-a born leader who has done and is doing wonders for the valley. His name is Holt. He does things so rapidly and so quietly that you take the results he achieves as natural course. It is chiefly due to this man that El Centro probably will be the chief town of the nev growing valley. A growing district needs a big, strong leader who has all of the little fellows with him. This El Centro has and it is growing more rapidly than the other towns. Holt spends his large wealth freely and | iudiciously and he has the rank and file firmly behind him.
 Fortunes are being made in the val ey. The land has wondrous prospects. It is fertile and there Is plenty of wat CT and the very heat and desert on every side insure early and heavy crops.
 New stores are opening in all of the valley towns and business is boom ing. The town of El Centro has just completed whole block of substan tial brick store buildings and every one is rented. The merchants in the valley necessarily do business on . large scale and much capital is re quired. Long credits to the land own CTS are necessary and this requires large reserve of cash.

WAS NOT FOUL PLAY.

Relatives of the late Worth Merritt, whose skeleton was found at the base of Superstition Mountains after his mysterious absence from his home for almost two years, have concluded that Merritt was not the victim of foul play, but that he met death by being over come by fatigue in the desert. A com plete Identification of the skeleton as that of Merritt's was made by the fin ding of his purse, an open-faced watch of peculiar pattern, and other articles he was known to carry. Nearly all of the gems, valued at $500, which Mer- ritt had shown to others, and portion of the $2O0 he was known to have had when he left home, were found near the bones of the man who perished on the desert.

GARDEN OF CACTl
 WITHOUT TH0RNS
FIVE VARIETIES OF NEW FORAGE
 PLANT ARRIVE.
Paul Roman Win Set Out 5urbank's Famous Product On Lots In El Cen tro and Will Supply Cuttings to Ex- perinenters In the Valley.

Henceforth El Centro will have a new feature of interest to the visitor who has come to Imperial Valley to witness unusual sights. Within week there will be established in this city a spineless cactus garden, set with five of the finest varieties of cacti yet produced by Luther Burbank, the plant wizard"
 On Friday there arrived in El Cen tro a 300-pound shipment of these plants, directly from the ramous Santa Rosa propagating gardens. At present the precious leaves are spread out in the air at the home of County Treas urer Paul Boman who has undertaken this new venture, and they have al ready attracted much attention.
 MT. Roman will plant them on two lots at Seventh and State streets, and he will also send a portion of the leaves over to his ranch, three and a half miles southeast of HoItville, where the land is somewhat more sandy than is that in El Centro
 The selection of varieties was left entirely to the discretion of Luther Burbank, who is familiar with con idtions in Imperial Valley, and who has assured MT. Roman that he has sent the best varieties he has yet been able to propagate. They are the Myers, Alcantha, Corfu, Malta anc Late Malta. The leaves are an aver age length of ten inches, and about five inches wide. Some of them show an occasional single spine, and there are markings over the surface of eacf leaf resembling the nodules iron which spring the multitudes of minute thorns on the wild cactus, but they have not the slightest indication O the spines themselves.
 MT. Roman believes Cne spineles' cactus will grow we'll here, and says that if his expectations are fulfilled he will gladly share with Imperial Val ley ranchers the supply, so that tht new forage food may be given thorough try-out here.

They were dead.
In this charge Jesse James, having

laid poor Johnson low, and many others
were accredited to him that dreadful
day. The guerrillas lost four men. Such
was their usual fortune. By expert

hardened. He was a butcher Of men.
An incident characteristic of Jesse
James may be related here. After the
war, travelling in Tennessee, he found
the widow of an old comrade. 1t hap
pened that a mortgage upon her home
was to be foreclosed that day, and she
was momentarily expecting the Sheriff
and the money lender. The sum she
needed was $500. Jesse had this with
him, but no more, and he was far from
home, but he gave it to her. Then he
secreted himself by the roadside, watch
ed the officials and the lender arrive
and depart, and stepping from ambush
with leveled pistols, made them dis
gorge the entire amount, with which he
went on his way, happy in having saved
the widows home at the cost Of a tri-
