liberately calculated to provoke derision
It may be added that at circuses in
France clowns are often dressed up to
represent the president. and his likeness
and name are commonly used for adver-
Using purposes, often in a most undignf-
fed If not positively insulting manner.
And all such pictorial happenings are
greeted by the populace with hilarity and
enthusiasm.
Yet. strange to say, the people gener-
ally have high respect for the president,
and there Is q law strictly forbidding such
caricatures Of him. Why. then. do they
not resent the outrage which is done to
their own sentiments, and why do they
not enforce the law? Because. probably.
Of an exaggerated fear Of being thought
to take things too seriously and of being
regarded as puritanical. That seems to
be the only explanation. Nevertheless, as
Mr. Gervais says, the abuse. il unchecked,
must have an evil effect upon France In
the eyes Of the world. Strangers who
have not the French temperament will
not appreciate the French reasons for tol.

clude that the people have scant respect
for their chosen chief of state. The mat
ter is no doubt a difi1cult and delicate
one to deal with by legislation and
through police action. But 1t ought to be
possible to regulate 1t through the opera
ton of public taste and self-respect.

the president of the court. who, with
much good grace and good humor. ad-
dressed q second welcome to Mile. Azou-
lay. The bar then adjourned to the rob-
ing room. and there toasted the new bar
rister in dry champagne. The barristers
outdid themselves In courtesy and hospi-
tality. for, besides Mile. Azoulay. they
admitted Mile. Rieder to their convivial
gathering. Mile. Rieder, although not

Hunters Tussle With a Deer.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
James Shook of this city had an eXcit-
ing experience with buck deer AT Occi-
dental i'm Marin county yesterday. Shook
was out hunting alone and sighting the
animal fired two shots. The deer fell.
and thinking that il was dead Shook ran
up to his prize. To his surprise the ap-
parently dead animal jumped up and
rushed at him viciously.
Before he could protect himself Shook
was knocked down and trampled into in
sensibility. He finally recovered, and
upon staggering to his feet discovered
the deer lying dead not more than 200
yards away.
Shook sustained a fracture of two ribs
by being struck by the deer's horns when
he was first thrown to the ground. In
addition he was considerably bruised by
the animals hoofs.

There IS yet another party out in the range country north of here and they are expected in at almost any minute. The Indians, we are told, showed a saucy and arrogant manner ard delighted in laughing at the predicament of the white men. They indulged in all sorts of abuse and claimed that no white men could get into that country whether it was on the reservation or not.
 The land referred to is m Maya jo County and is open for the eX- ploitation of any person what ever that feels like taking up the same. There are numerous In d1ans about, shiftless, idle and unworthy in every respect, who utilize that land for nothing, shifting back and forth their res ervatiOn to the river. However the cattlemen are by no means going to give up their rights in this matter to satisfy the whins of the redskins and complaint has already been made to the In dian Agent at Keams Canyon re- garding the hostile attitude of the Indians. In the first instance the cowmen feel that the Indians have no righs to be away from their reservation without per mits, and in the next place, they haven't the slightest right or title to the springs in question. If the agent at Keams Canyon IS found unable to cope with the situation a call for troops will undoubtedly 5emade.
 The situation just now is tense with feeling and a small spark would institute a bad state of affairs.

men regarding the Navajo lnd1- ans north of here.
 It is not generally known that the range between here and the reservation line is of the best and dotted with frequent water holes and large natural springs. The most of these springs have al ready been taken up, consider able number having lately been sold by John A. Benson, of Ore gOn land fraud fame, to the Nal pals Ranch and Trading Com pany, of Navajo. Some others are in the control of residents OI the territory and yet several are awaiting development by whom soever feels inclined to do the work. No cattle to speak of has been run on the range north Ot the railroad track for the reason that the NavajOs always seemed 1ncensed at the approach of the cattlemen and in the past several outfits have been driven from this section on account of the hostile sentiment of the redskins Recently the local cowmen deem ed 1t fit to take up several of the springs and develop water at the same.
 With that end in view, this week a party composed Ot Seth Stiles, M. l.. French and Alvir Burk jOurneyed to spring sltu ated about 25 to 80 miles north west of Holbrook and commenc ed operations. In a short time the Indians commenced to gather although the. water site is sltua ted 12 miles this side of the res ervation line. During the tenn porarv absence of Stiles and French a party of bucks came 1T and violently assaulted young Burk, driving him about at the point of a dirk knife. After q time Stiles and French were found and they in turn were told to immediately leave the country and not come back again. At about this time w. F. Williams while developing water at q spring about 20 miles from Win slow and at least 22 miles from the reservation line, was ap. preached by party of NavajOs and told by means of signs to de part for town. Williams was working in a small canyon at the time and refused to obey the or, ders of the Indians. They then took his pick and shovel and threw the same on top of hls out fit wagon and told him that in another sun there would be many Indians there and that they also would wait. Williams i'll turn informed the Indians that an

Reductions in force continue to be the rule with the Santa Fe. During the week past week all branches of the service have been affected by the wave of economy now prevailing, resulting in the release of operators and clerks at various stations along the line, as well as a reduction of some twenty men in the local shops. The agents offices at Seligman, Ash Fork, Williams, Flagstaff, Winslow and Gallupeach suffered the loss of a clerk, while one ope- ratOr was taken off at WinslOw and one at Ash Fork, and the night office at Grants and Pinta discontinued for the time being.
 Last Saturday evening Sheriff Francis of COcOninO County, re- reported to the local Santa Fe officials that two hoboes were offering quart bottles of whiskey for sale to the citizens of Flag staff. Investigation proved that two cars in a westbound freight train had been broken into and various articles of merchandise taken therefron. Special officer Sky C. Overstreet was detailed on the case and succeeded in landing the two men in jail, where they are now held under a bond of $1OOO,OO to appear be- fore the grand jury at the spring term of court.

say from her pinnacle Of elegance:
The gown that I wear is the most per-
feet expression of the mode of the day;
no one will laugh at it. not even two or
three months hence"
No; you must be content with the ul-
ira simple model, OF which the severity
itself excuses all idea Of date. In this
way only can you be positive OF your
style, II you follow the novelty. you
Will discover that the mixture OF all the
styles. exaggerated and bizarre, Will
not authorize any hope for the future.
But let US close this preamble. which.
us turn to the styles themselves.
The actual toilets are built usually on
the empire plan, although the length
Of line and the long sleeves are not en-
pire-neither one nor the other. They
are the uniform of the day. the insignia
of our time, these sleeves of pleated
tulle. You know this model? il en-
tered into popularity this fall, and its
vogue continues. because Rejsne, Part
sienne' of Parisiennes wears them. and
has worn them for several months.
Another novelty is the material OF the
robe worn by the great artistic in Is
It a soft satin? 1t is neither. 1t is of
satin cloth. which will be the, craze of
tomorrow. Rejane always leads the
fashion in Paris, and what she wears,
the style she adopts, will usually be
tile mode OF the future.

general repetitions.
