MRS. SOPHIA MILLER
is RESTING EASILY

Mrs. Sophia Miller the woman who
attempted to end her life Friday in a
rooming house on South Main street,
is resting easily at the California hos
pital, where she was taken for treat
ment Saturday afternoon.
A special nurse is in attendance upon
her and everything possible is being
done to save the woman's life. Her
husband was at her bedside the entire
day.
When asked late last night the nurse
in charge stated the woman seemed to
be improving and was asleep.
Surgeons who performed the ope-
ration say If Mrs. Miller lives two or
three days longer she has fine chance
for recovery. The danger lies in pneu-
monia setting in and also an infection
of the wound.
If several days elapse without COM
plications appearing she will live.

BABE SEEN FOR THE
FIRST TIME BRINGS
JOY TO ILL FATHER
Husband Lying ParaIyzed in Hospital
Overcome with Delight When
Wife Presents Tiny
Offspring

A little ray of sunshine flashed into
the county hospital yesterday morning
and its full radiance struck the cot
where John Miller has lain for eight
months, unable to move either leg or in
any way counteract the baneful effects
of the paralysis which has stricken
him..
But in the glory of clasping his wife
and their child in his arms Miller for
got even his sorry plight and was hap
pier than he has been for nearly a
year.
) Leaving his home in New York nearly
nine months ago with snug little for
tune, Miller came west intending to
invest his money and grow up with
the country" He tried prospecting for
while, but before a strike mountain
fever laid him low and paralyzed his
legs from the waist down.
Without friends or money, Miller was
forced to go to a public institution for
treatment. The doctors at the county
hospital interested themselves in his
case, but could do nothing toward sat
isfying his greatest longing-the pres
ence of the wife he had left in New
York.
MIS-. Mlller was communicated WIN,
but she also was without funds and
on the verge Of destitution. After
much effort and many appeals to those
who should have helped her at once,
Mrs. Miller finally gathered together
sufficient sum to get her to Los
Angeles. She did not let her husband
know of the success of her efforts, and
when she visited him yesterday he
could hardly believe his eyes.
,9lIt the greatest Sl1rnriCa for Miller
was not in his wife's presence, but in
the little morsel of humanity she held
in her arms. He had not been told
at all of the stork's visit to the Miller
home in New York. and it took some
time to convince the joy-crazed man
that he was holding his own baby in
his arms.

Whether made in taffeta, soft wool
or a washable fabric the shirt waist
suit is emipently sensible and practical
for general wear, and one of the best
examples of the newest mode is here
shown. The waist, with it's group of
tucks on either side of the front clos
ing and the deep Gibson tucks over the
shoulders, is excellent in style and cut
the pretty yoke and bertha having a
most becoming and youthful effect. The
sleeves may be made in three-quarter
length and finished with jaunty turn
back cuffs or extended to the wrist by
means of a deep cuff. The flare skirt
is cut by the new 11-gored model, and
may be made in medium sweep or
round length and with or without the
trimming band. At the hips the skirt
fits with graceful smoothness, the clever
goring following the latest approved
lines. To make the frock in the
medium size requires "a yards for the
waist and 6% yards for the skirt, both
in 44-inch material.
Two patterns-6100, six sizes, 80 to As
inches bust measure; 6108, seven sizes,
% to "a inches waist measure.
The price of these patterns Is 20 cents,
but either will be sent upon receipt of
10 cents.

with an exploding crack like the "karawats."
We dismounted and examined the dead
sheep-sixteen fullgrown wethers lying with

You see. when the Cape tiger kills either
calf or sheep in the open, he might drag and

In this habit of his-this return journey

Congratulations to Mr.. Allison on his
seventy ninth birthday. and his forty
three years of uninterrupted service in
Congress. AS representative for eight
years and senator for thirty-five, he has
helped make much important history.
With not blot upon his record. and with
a personal popularity unexcelled among
the public men Of his period. he is a fine
specimen of the American grown old In
official commission. A younger man is
pressing him for leadership at home, but
the country at large expects the. veteran
to win. His interest in his Office is I'M
diminished. and his value to his party as
a counselor in the larger affairs still very
great His party and the country regard
less of party would lose by his retirement.
