When is a d~ressmaker an artist and
when a mere workwoman? Nine.
Azenor claimed in the courts that she
is an artist, and the courts have de-
cided that she is. She was premiere"
at a ladies' tailor's, and was dis
charged without notice as a mere
workwoman. She was hurt, not only
she is an artist, and consequently an
employee, and therefore it seems en-
titled to one months notice according
to law. The Court went into the mat
ter and found that Dame Azenor"
was employed "to create models" In
the discharge of her duties she was
called upon ito frequent race meet
ings, theatres and concerts, and to
consult engravings and prints"
Truly, in the workshop she made up
her models, or rather, as the Court
put it, in grander language, realized
her conceptions with her own hands.
But in so doing she did not discharge
the duties of a mere workwoman.
She "did the work of ar inventor, and
n may say to a certain extent that
of a creative artist" Once the mod
els were built up by her Owl hands
and brains, the mere manual labor
was left to workwomen. Therefore
Dame Azenor," who realizes her con-
ceptions, is entitled to a full months
salary, G16. The legal precedent now
laid down that a premiere" is an
artist has duly impressed the world

Glasgow, Scotland.-Four hundred

buildings and almost got into the
Council Hall, where the weekly meet

seeing their approach, locked the

the mob from entering.

Conserve the Alligator.

For while the alligator has made
the purses of the North, it has filled
the purses of the South. 1t is not
for nothing that sportsmen are pro-
hibited from shooting the alligator
wherever the winter hotel fourishes
on the plethoric exile from above
Mason and Dixon's line.
And why not confess it? The al
ligator is as legitimate an "attrac-
ton" as the glass bottom boats OF
Catalina and Santa Barbara, the or
ange groves of Redlands and River
side, and the vineyards of northern
California, where wine is made while
you wait.
Indeed, the alligator belongs to us
all. 1t is a priceless asset OF the
naive Northern Imagination. In the
South they may be turning to COM
mercial and industrial developments.
Birmingham ideals may be displac-
ing the mellow memories of the old
South. But the Northerner Will
cling fondly to the South OF the mag
nolia and the palm, the creole and
the crocodile.
While we are conserving the a
ural let us not forget the
alligator.-Chicago Tribune.

Chester Jordan Tells of GrimIy Dis.
severing Remains After "Acci-
dental" Killing at Boston.

Boston.-The most terrible killing
committed in Greater Boston since
the death of Susan Geary, a chorus
girl, four years ago, and one much re-
sembling that tragedy in it's details,
has just been disclosed. The torso of
Mrs. Honorah Jordan, an actress,
aged twenty-three years, of Somer-
Vile, vas discovered in a trunk in a
boarding house at No. 7 Hancock
street, on Beacon Hill. Later the
head and bones of the limbs were
found in the furnace of the Jordan
home at Somerville. while the hair
and other remains were taken from
the kitchen range.
Chester Jordan, aged twenty-nine
years, an actor, Of No. 500 Medford
street, Somerville, is held by the DO
lice, charged with murder, and. ac-
cording to the officers, he made a
complete confession.
Jordan, when trapped in his room
by the police, was compelled himself
to open the trunk. AS he threw back
the lid he sank sobbing on the floor.
Jordan is a brother of Mrs. Jesse
L. Livermore, wife of the millionaire
stock and cotton speculator, of New
York. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Phineas G. Jordan, and a sister, Mrs.
Kendall, prominent in Somerville So
cial circles, live in the latter city.
Mrs. Chester Jordan was known on
the stage as Irene Shannon.
He said he had killed her acct
dentally during a quarrel. Later he
told how he had slept in the house
where his wife's body lay the night
after the tragedy and cooked his
breakfast in the morning, then dis
membered the dead woman and put
the torso in a trunk.
He then planned to take the steam
er Harvard, which was scheduled to
leave for New York, and throw the
parts of the body overheard. The
fact that the Harvard was laid off
disarranged his plans and he was
obliged to hire a hackman to take the
trunk to a Boston boarding house to
await a more favorable opportunity.
The discovery of the crime was due
to the suspicious of the hackman.
George w. Collins, who had in mind
the numerous robberies which have
taken place in and about Boston re-
Gently, and surmising from it's weight
that the trunk he was carrying about
contained silverware, notified the DO

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from it's
chemical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which
Nature uses to build up brain and

her own strength but in nourishing
her baby at the same time. She
writes:

Hudson River tunnel. He was
promptly taken into the hospital"
which was nothing but a horizontal
tank about the size of a common loco
motive boiler. The pressure, amount
ing at that time to some thirty
pounds, was admitted, and it acted
instantly to relieve pain and to pro-

told to open the throttle valve and
let the pressure out so that he might
open the door. AS he did this he no.

PlttSburg, Pa.-WiveS of hun
dreds of Pittsburg rich men, after
several years of alleged holding OUT
on the city assessors with their bonds
and mortgages, have at last been
taken into camp through a clever
move on the part of the assessors,
who are now boasting of it to the
discontinue of the women who wear
blue silk stockings.
The assessors claim to have uncov-
cred assessable paper worth more
than $1,000,000, which has lain in
rosewood cases for years under cover,
the owners not caring to pay taxes on
it, and 81 never made returns of it to
the assessors.
The Pittsburg blue book was the
medium through which the assessors
of Pittsburg hung one of the most
monumental bluffs ever worked off
on unsuspecting women. The cry
ing need of more taxable property
appealed to the assessors, and they
decided to call on the rich women of
Pittsburg, who have long been sus-
pected of having much taxable paper
which has eve been turned in.
Thousands of letters were sent out
to Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. William
Jones or Mrs. James Green, asking
them to please make statements to
the assessors regarding stocks, bonds,
mortgages, ETC., that they were sup
posed to possess. This brought moth
ing. Mesdames Smith, Jones and
Green ignored the summons as they
had done for years.
Finally the blue book was thought
of. There was some hard detective
work, and within a week other let
tiers were sent out, but this time ad-
dressed to Mrs. Lucille Jamison
Smith, Mrs. Vera Worthington Jones
and Mrs. Margaret Clancy Green,
and the letters read something like
this:
