A Souvenir Cane (OriginaD
Mrs. G. III. TripIett, Aitnmont, Cal.

A-pretty ornament for the wal can
be made by taking cane that has been
kept as a souvenir and decorating it
with the many little keepsakes one
usually gathers. The greater the va
riety of these little articles the better,
and they should be tied very close to-
gether and with as many varieties of
narrow ribbon as possible. A large bow
should be tied on the handle. This or
nament is very attractive and just as
useful from the fact that 1t keeps
together all these little treasures that
are usually scattered about on shelves,
and 1t is also a great saving in busting.

last night, to prevent the lynching of
the negro who shot a constab BILE there.
Therefore, the Governor stated that
everything is presumably quiet.
From other sources it is stated that
the sheriff's telegram was prompted by
abundance OF caution more than any
real danger of a lynching.
This afternoon Governor Glenn re-
ceived message from Sheriff Jackson,
everything is quiet and all fear of
lynching is over.
