TrifIes

Dame Fashion says
the handkerchief, tie

we have initiated hand

House Comforts

Smoking jackets, or
more correctly speaking,
lounging coats, were not
popular here a few years
ago because it was i'm,
possible to get them
made of a material suit
ed to this climate. Last
year we secured from a
well known maker OF
goods for the Far East a
sample jacket made of a
lightweight cloth. From
it we ordered a lot for
this Christmas and we
have TO offer you a coat
that is rich in elegance
because of its simplicity.

Fence Posts Made Durable.

Fence posts of many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily would
soon decay II set in the ground can
be made to last for twenty years by
simple treatment with creosote.
Most OF the so-cailed inferior"
woods are well adapted to the treat
ment, and this is especially true OF
cottonwood, aspen, willow, sycamore,
low-grade pines, and some of the
gums. When properly treated, these
woods outlast untreated cedar and
oak, which are becoming too scarce
and too much N demand for other
uses to allow of their meeting the
demand for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has
been greatly cheapened by the intro
duction of the open tank" which
can be installed at cost of from
$50 to >$45, or much less If an old
boiler is used. A tank with a bot
tom IL square feet In area will suf-
fee for treating 40 or so 6-inch posts
day, or double this number when
two runs per day can be made. The
absorption Of creosote per post is
about as follows: Eucalyptus, one
tenth gallon; willow, two-tenths gal
Ion; sassafras, ash, hickory, red oak,
water oak, elm and maple, four
tenths gallon; Douglas FIR, quaking
aspen and black walnut, six-tenths
gallon; sycamore, cottonwood and
lodgepole pine, seven-tenths gallon.
The price of creosote is about 10
cents per gallon in the East and
Middle West, 16 cents per gallon on
the Pacific coast, and % cents per
gallon in the Rocky Mountain States.
The cost of treating post will there
fore vary from to 10 cents. Prop
erly treated, it should give service
for at least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preventative treat
ment and durability of lodgepole
pine in Idaho is increased sixteen
years. The cost of creosote is there
relatively high, yet by treating posts
there is a saving. with interest at 6
per cent, of cents per post yearly.
More important than the saving,
however, is the fact that through
preservatlve treatment other woods
are fitted to take the place of cedar,
of which the supply is rapidly be.
coming exhausted. A detailed de.
scription Of experiments in preserv-
ing fence posts. together with prac-
tical suggestions for treating them
on a commercial scale, are contained
in Circular III of the Forest Ser
vice. This publication can be obtain
ed upon application to the Forester
at Washington.

WHERE WAS FORAKER's FIGHT!

Taft carried Ohio unanimously.
There seems to have been practical
ly no opposition in the state primary
and he will go into the national con-
vention with the solid Ohio delegation
behind him. His victory in his home
state will UNNECESSARILY strengthen
him throughout the county, and it
is not impossible that a number of
states will have declared for him
before another month has passed by.
Foraker's fight seems to have been
chiefly of a rhetorical nature. In
Congress he is attacking the presi-
Dental policies and conduct druing
the campaign, but if the result in his
own state is any criterion he is &C
complishing nothing effective by his
continued assaults.
Foraker some time ago announced
that he was a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination and not for ano-
Their term in the Senate. The election
of a solid Taft delegation from Ohio
would seem to entirely eliminate Fora
ker from consideration in the presi-
Dental arena and it now remains to
be seen whether there was not a
string to his avowal that he would
not be found seeking another term
as Senator. 1t is quite probable that
the astute Joseph B. is really kicking
up such a rumpus, in the Senate and
out, for the purpose of forcing a
with his opponents in
Ohio and securing to himself another
lease of life at Washington. He is
a shrewd, and somewhat unscrupu-
lous, politician, and so well versed
in the game that the tricks are likely
to turn up in his hand when the end
comes.

INDEPENDENCE LOOSES CHARM

Something of a change has come
over the spirit of goodly party in
Cuba on the annexation question. A
year or two ago the native sentiment
was strong for independence only.
Now some of the Cuban papers are
expressing the conviction that Wash
ington will devise new measures to
guarantee stability on the island. AS
only a year remains until the island
is to be cut loose to paddle for itself
such talk shows that little interest is
being taken in the proposed indepen-
dence.
Real Cuban statesmen are becOm-
ing more fearful of the experiment as
the day of independence draws nigh.
1t was easy to talk big when no i'm
mediate danger of being left to walk
alone, but when the date has been
set for the near future, it is enough
to sober the agitators.
1t is believed by many that a pro-
tectorate or an early annexation will
be forced on the country The Gu
bans as a whole have not yet become
sufficiently accustomed to the benefit
of stable government to desist from
their old freebooting tactics. An
other generation will have to grow
up before the island is able to under
take self-government with any degree
of success.

SUPREME COURT is
ALSO IN BALANCE
Next President May Ap.
point Four Members.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ID
(Special)-The fact that the success
sor of President Roosevelt will in all
probability appoint four Justices of
the Supreme Court is attracting the
attention of politicians here, who
see in it. an additional complicating
feature for a campaign already COM
plicated more than any which has
been waged by the Republicans in the
last twenty-five years. The four va
cancies would be created by the prob
able retirement Of Chief Justice Full
Ter, who will be 76 years old on Tues
day; Justice Harlan, who will be 76
on June / Justice Brewer, now II,
and Justice Peckham, now 20. None is
in robust health.
Three members or the court were
appointed by President Roosevelt
Justices Day, Holmes, and Moody. The
appointment Of four other Justices by
man in thorough accord with the
Presidents policies would mean that
substantial majority OF the court
would probably be sympathetic with
the Roosevelt views Of what is con-
stftutional legislation.
There is the best authority for
saying that this situation has caused
no little concern among the present
memt ers of the court. 1t is known
that there has been a free exchange
of ideas among the Justices, with the
result that there is substantial ac.
cord The court is almost unanimou;
| against Roosevelt methods and agains
many of the results of these methods
All this is of special concern tt

EnOS Mills Did Not Enjoy

Enos A. Mills, the government for
estry agent, who delivered a lecture
at Progressive Union Hall last night
has caused no end 0 wonder in New

Mr. Mills is we'll known in the
city by reputation, and it was not
long after he arrived here from the

Mills a taste of Creole hospitality and
arranged a few luncheons, one or two
dinners, and a breakfast at Borgue's
and one or two little trifes like that
to take place during his stay in the
city.
But, somehow, Prof Mills did not
seem to relish the viands of which
ne partook,
Finally, in desperation, one of the
professors admirers summoned up
courage to ask as to what kind OF
food he was accustomed to eating.
Why, Lord bless you" said the
professor, 4 live on half a pound OF
raisins a day, the year round
His hosts sized up his we'll develop

and took a look at his fresh white
and pink complexion and expressed
wonder.
