The sketch of Miss Let's was made
from life by Hugh Stuart Campbell,
and in Analysing Miss Let's type of
beauty from an artistic point of view,
the artist says:
This embodiment Of chic PERSONAL
ity appears to iconiZe the tempera
mental type that Helleu would delight
to perpetuate. 1t creates Partisan at
mosphere modified by an air of de-
mureness and dignity. In studying the
aspect of repose that seems only to
mantle a spirit of vivacity, the artist
longs to portray the fleeing express
sions which constantly illuminate and
shade the mobile features: expressions
that typify every mood, with mood
for every instant. The entire PERSONAL
ity projects a wave of pleasant impress
sions"

bits Master Groth is not thought to
be seriously hurt
The accident to Gowdy occurred at
the garage of the State Center Auto
mobile company, owned by Yordy &
White. Neither of the proprietors was
in at the time, and the business was
left IN charge of Roscoe Girton and
young Gowdy. Girton was moving the
machine in the building, when he lost
control of it, and it went full force
into Gowdy, who was working at 4
bench near the wall. The bones of
Gowdy's hip were crushed, and the
flesh badly mangled. 1t will be three or
four days, according to his surgeons,

Saturday afternoon Hans and Hardy
Groth, aged IL and IA, sons of Rev.
u Groth, went to the home OF their
uncle, w. c. Hilleman to spend the
day hunting. They were, accompanied
on their quest for rabbits by 14-year-
old Harvey Hilleman. Young Hille-
man saw a rabbit and was taking aim
when Hardy Groth stepped in the way.
Hilleman did not notice Groth's APP
proach. and pulled the trigger. The
ball from a 22-caliber rifle, struck
Groth in the feshy part of the hip. The
bone was not fractured, and unless
some septic trouble results the lad
should make rapid recovery.

Tots Made Criminal by Law.

The enforcement Of the new child
labor law is credited with responsi.
bility for the juvenile crime wave now
sweeping over Washington. The records
at the House of Detention, where the
boy lawbreakers are sent pending
trial, show that juvenile crime in one
week increased more than 100 per
cent. over the preceding week, or To-
as against 36 for the preceding week,
and 32 for the week preceding that. It
Is asserted that the increase in juve.
nile crime is due to the large number
of boys rendered idle by the operation
of the new law.
1t is stated officially that about 500
boys have been denied permits to
work, to which must be added a larger
number who have been deferred from
working by their dread of the red tape
connected with the enforcement of the
law and the trouble necessary to Sc.
cure permits.

may be that matters will adjust them.

Many offers of steeds for Taft.

Gen. Clarence r. Edwards, chief of
the bureau OF insular affairs, is daily
in receipt of letters from horse own
ers all over the country Offering de-
sirable mounts for Judge William H.
Taft. the Republican candidate for the
presidency. These letters have re-
suited from a story to the effect that
Gen. Edwards has been commissioned
to purchase steed for the candidate,
the result of which is that he has
ever since been occupied in explaining
that he is not in the market for a
horse.
The other day he received an ad-
vertisement of an enormously large
and strong steed, 21 hands high and
weighing 2.700 pounds. used for exhi-
bition purposes, but which was de-
clared to be admirably adapted for
riding by man weighing 300 pounds.
In spite of denials there is con-
slant increase in the number of ami
mails offered. The story that he wants
to buy an enormously large. horse for
the use of the candidate seems to be
travelling far beyond the power of any
denial to overtake 1t.
