FOR HITTING CONDUCTOR.

Niselcy which he paid

luctor Fairbanks with a lantern Fri
lay night on a Dallas train after il ar
lived here and was ON its way to the
Junction. The blow from the lantern
injured Fairbanks eye so severely
that he was compelled to leave the
train at Scrbner and have doctor
attend to it,
Conductor Fairbanks was to have
appeared against Huyott Saturday, but
for some reason failed to do so.
Rather than stay longer in jail lluyett
decided to plead guilty and secure his
release This was satisfactory to
Chief Of Police Peters, who was not
disposed to hold the prisoner any
longer unless a formal charge was
placed against him.
Iluyctt related seemingly straight
forward story to the court regarding
the matter. His story was that he
had served under Fairbanks since Oc-
,Ober as an extra brakeman during
the rush; that his run was between
Council Bluffs, Omaha and Dallas. He
regarded Fairbanks highly and would
not Intentionally iniure him. on the
trip down from Dallas IIuyett took
several drinks of whiskcy from bot
tie which a passenger offered him. The
local trainmaster's Office was informed
of this unbecoming conduct, and an
order was wired back to put Huyett
off of the train, which order was re-
ceived at the Norfolk depot. In pur-
suance of this order Conductor Fair
banks seized Huyett. according to the
latter's story. and tried to throw him
off of the train as it was pulling to-
wards the Junction. Huyett was on
the platform at the time Fairbanks
tried to put him off In the scuftie
Huyett claims that he struck Fair
banks in the eye with his lantern. He
then fell or was thrown off of the train
and rolled in the ditch. About this
time the train slowed down to go in
on the switch at the Junction Wye. A
lagman on the train ran back, so
Huyett claims, and maued him as he
lay on the ground. Bruises and cuts
on the face indicated that he had been
struck.
When Huyett came to the Junction
depot he was placed under arrest by
Officer Miller and a Northwestern de-
tective and brought to town.
No explanation was given for the
failure Of Conductor Fairbanks to ap-
pear against Huyett, except that he
was hurt and couldn't get here.

Rules for Work.

"I don't know whether I shall succeed or not in keeping to my original plans" said charming young bride recently, but I have begun my housekeeping with three rules to guide me on my way. They come from another's experience and I have jotted them down in my memory book; perhaps some one else may like to try them and profit by the expe- rience:
 First. To have only necessary things sn my house-meaning that every article of furniture shall be either useful or beautiful.
 Second. To have a place for everything and see that everything is in it's place which isn't entirely remote from the first rule.
 '"Third. To perform the regular duties of the day in the same frame of mind with which one has made her own toi- lette-talSing them entirely as a matter of course."

Small but Important.

Do you know that:
 Chamois gloves are not appropriate to elaborate costumes? They are for ser vice distinctly.
 That tan-colored shoes are not the thing for formal occasions or French-heeled slippers for breakfast?
 That gay mules, charming in the bed room, are the essence of slouchiness fin the drawing room or dining room?
 That a worn out lace or chiffon frock Is bad form for knockabout morning wear?
 That 8 hat loaded with feathers is un- suitable for short tailored suit? It also gives a sawed-off look to the wearer.
 That few women look well with plain lace or chiffon scarfs tie over the head? They should be made into fluffy hood arrangements.
 That a bedraggled or soiled white petti- coat Is unpardonable? With the modern fashion of having the skirt made to the ankles, even under lingerie skirt, dingi- ness is simply not excusable.
 That tailored suit is not considered smart for wearing to the theatre in the evening? Most girls can manage to own at least one dainty house frock, though the materials are cheap.
 That the girl who rides in the street car should have general utility evening coat that is not so light colored nor conspicuous?
 That nothing will more quickly ruin the appearance of gown than a crushed ruching or a frayed or soiled hem to the skirt?
 That startling stockings are not refined, no matter if they are worn by some fash ionable girl?

Becoming Colors for Elderly
 Women.


 The middle aged woman must give her toilette if she would look her best. Especially is this statement true of the selection of colors although this sea- sons fashion has been extremely kind to the elderly woman for there Is little difference between the style in the shades and models designed for mothers and those that are considered smart for the debutante.
 To begin with colors are more popular than black-a point in favor of elderly women for only fresh youthful faces can successfully wear somber hues Then the shades that are favorites are rich and deep, not vivi, Jr frivolous so that any middle aged wvrnan may follow the 190S- 09 styles and not appear to be dressing in manner unsuited to her years.
 As to the exact tints that will be worn by elderly matrons there are the soft, undecided greenish blues which a woman who has been fair in her youth will find to harmonize with her eyes that have lost their brightness and hair that has become faded and lusterless.
 Another fashionable color that this type of gray haired women can wear is wis., tara. In fact almost any woman can wear these shades if her hair is gray or white.
 Dark eyed gray haired women who have tinge of pink in their cheeks look most attractive clothed in a pastel tone of wistaria while the blue eyed woman of uncertain age may by wearing this color bring out the golden tints in her already faded hair.

How to Wear Jewels.

Jewels, excepting rings, plain brooches and bangles should never be worn except when the costume Is at least semi-dressy Necklaces and bracelets are most distinct Iy out of place with strictly tailor gown, although rings are permissible.

This is season of gold braid and brass buttons. They are expensive to buy, and many women may want to use gold braid they have if it were only trif1e cleaner.
 They may not know that it may be thoroughly refreshened by powdered blu ing mixed with dry bread crumbs. This should be sifted over the braid and then rubbed with flannel. After brushing off the crumbs, 1t should be polished with red velvet. This process also serves for cleaning gold lace.
