Cattle Are GOING
Into The Pound
MARSHAL GATHERS IN ALL AMI
MAILS FOUND ON CITY GROUND
SEVERAL ARE SADLY AWARE
OF NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

Woe be unto the owner of cattle
or other livestock who allows his ami
mails TO stray away from stable en-
closure. In such event they will he
impounded and in the case of cattle
it will cost So per head to get the
beasts back. This was exemplified
Friday when City Marshal Hudgens,
in his capacity as pound master, ar
rested and placed in the city pound
AZ head of cattle which he found
roaming about in Hermanson addi-
ton. All have been redeemed.
Twenty-Five of the animals belong
to the Ely Dairy Co. and for these the
manager was forced to produce $50,
or So a head. The other 8 head be-
longed to John Magnuson and were
also redeemed. Since the word has
gone out that the city marshal is en-
forcing the law against all classes of
stock, regardless of ownership, there
is not a stray animal to be seen.
Marshal Hudgens stated yesterday
that he is preparing to repeat the
raid of few weeks ago against the
CANNES of the city. At that time
more than 80 dogs we're impounded
and later killed. 1t would therefore
be wise for dog owners to pay the
license.

Read the Daily Paper.

The recent biennial meeting of the
Federation of Women's Clubs, held in
Boston, was the occasion of an appeal
to women from a journal of that city
to acquaint themselves with the vital
movements of the day, (which are the
little, rushing snowslides telling, gla-
cier-like, of the progress of the human
race" To accomplish this, woman
needs to read the daily papers with
discrimination as to the choice of sub
jects, an exercise which she now so
largely ignores that it is still, accord
ing to the Boston editor, matter of
surprise to the average man when he
sees woman pondering over any
ether part of daily paper than the
fashions and the fiction. 1t is urged
that women should have an intelli-
gent understanding of current events,

Value of a Wife's Help.

The man who keeps his business
affairs to himself and ignores his
wife's claim to share in them, makes
grave mistake. He may never need
her assistance in a crisis, but she
could be of inestimable value to him
in everyday life. She can practice
economy in scores of ways when she
knows that economy is necessary.
There are extravagant wives, to be
sure, but some of them exist through
ignorance of the real state of mat
ters. They cannot be blamed for
spending money when it seems so
plentiful.
The real wife is a true helpmeet,
and the real wife is the rule and not
the exception. Husbands are given
to discussing matters with clearsight-
ed women who often view the situa-
tion from a totally different stand
point. Then again there is feminine
instinct to be reckoned with. Reason
as you will, you must return to the
point of admitting that women have
some power which guides them uner-
ringly to wise conclusions and ways
which are never made clear to mas
culine minds.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Love a Form Of Madness.

Scientists say that love is form Of
madness. Certainly the love-madness
is about the most harmless form Of
dementia. 1t affords the afflicted one
an endless amount of rapturous hap
piness, and to the world at large an
opportunity to smile with feeling of
sympathy or envy behind.
Almost every adult has experienced
wild transports of sentiment. They
belong mostly to youth. After a GER
tain age love does not always create
such fury and storm Of emotions as
that which sweeps the young, says
Woman's Life. Age makes folks more
matter of fact, but in the heart of
evsry woman there lies little famil
lar memory of her first wild love af-
fair, and this she delights to dwell
upon in idle dreaming moments.

Fashion Notes,

Black hats trimmed with bright
blue or green promise a vogue.
The rough silks are considered the
more modish, and then comes taffeta.
There is an odd, rather cold-looking
blue that is often color combination
with the coral shade. y
Among the accessories few articles
are more effective than the gauze and
chiffon scarfs tinted with coral.
Wraps fall in with the lines of the
skirt and sometimes dip well into the
trains. They are usually sleeveless.
Hens of pink are effective when
trimming waist of ecru net or lace,
the connection being made under an
ecru banding.
Coral shades have simply taken
possession of New York city, and
have risen to first rank among the
popular colors.
Hats for morning wear are very
bright looking trimmed with a ruch-
ing of tulle or net in coral of different
tones, finished with black wings.
The popularity of handsome white
lace coats worn over long skirts of
white or colored muslin or silk has
brought about the fashion in less ex-
pensive laces.
The fashion Of tucking skirts of
Pekin striped materials to yoke depth
and stitching the the tucks at edges,
gives a yoke effect of solid color be.
low which the flaring plaits show the
white stripes gradually.
A set of coral studs, pin and belt
buckle will finish a white linen frock
most effectively, while the hat may be
black, banded with the pink velvet
held down by pair Of pink wings or
black ones, secured by large hat pins
mounted in coral.

Fifteen Gored Skirt.

The many gored skirt, that gives
long lines and the effect of slender
ness, is the one greatly in demand
just now, and which promises to in
crease in favor. This one Is trimmed
In a novel fashion and made with a
pleated front gore which relieves the
severity and allows effective use of
trimming. In the illustration the
material Is Copenhagen blue pongee
with bands of black and white silk
used as trimming, but braid could be
substituted for this last and the skirt
is appropriate for almost every skirt
ing material. 1t can be made from
the thinner, lighter ones and from the
washable materials of the present,
while 1t also will be found admirable
for the advance models of the coming
season.
The skirt is made in fifteen cores.
The one at the centre front and the
one at each side thereof are pleated,
but the remaining cores are plain.
The closing can be made invisibly at
the back or at the left of the front as

Double Wells Worn.

The Newport women are now said
to be wearing double wells, whereby
their faces are concealed except the
eyes and forehead. The effect is
pretty much like that produced by the
outdoor costume of the Mohammedan
woman. The Mohammedan woman
wells herself so that she may go about
in freedom and without being known.
There is social reason for her cos
tune, because if she did not wear a
huge black bag, concealing her body
and most of her face, she could not
go out in the street or to the bazars
at all. The new Newport mode has
no such basis. 1t is simply a change.
