CABIN OF WESTERN PIONEER
Movement Started to Preserve the
Home in Colorado of Jim Baker,
a Famous Scout.

In these days when the homesteader
is displacing the rancher and the or
chard is crowding the range. the land
marks which bring back memories Of
stirring pioneer days are becoming
fewer and harder to find every years,
says the Denver Republican. Realizing
this, a number Of local men of prom
inence have started a movement for
the preservation Of the cabin occupied
by Jim Baker, the scout, for several
years previous to his death.
Baker was one OF the most pictur-
esque figures in the early history Of
this state and his cabin, which stands
near Battle Mountain, in Routt county,
between Dixon, Wyom. and Slater.
Col, is an equally picturesque habita-
tion. The old scout has been dead such
a comparatively short time that the
place is still in fair state of pre-
servation, but unless steps are taken
TO preserve il in some way it will soon
fall into decay and the State will lose

fation for the wonderful developments

self. whose dislike for settled COM
munities was well known. He had
been all over the West and when it
came time for him to settle down in
one spot for the remainder of his days
he selected the pleasant valley of the
Little Snake river as the most salts
flying place to live in that he knew
of. Here in company with his squaw
wives the old pioneer ended his days
in peace and was buried on Battle
Mountain. not far from his cabin.
His wives have also passed away
and the quaint, double decked old
block house is now unoccupied. The
structure was in reality more of a
fort than dwelling in its design. II
had two stories above the ground, the
upstairs portion having been topped by
still another smaller apartment The
ruins of this upper refuge now lie on
the graund near by in state Of decay
and it is certain that the entire struc-
ture will become a ruin unless steps are
taken to care for it.

STENCILED BEDSPREADS ARE
EASILY MADE AND PRETTY

The home making of the bedspread
is almost a necessity in this day Of
the metal bed, which precludes the
possibility of the ready-to-use spread.
The old-fashioned type of ruffied
cover, with it's frill falling to the floor,
is the suitable covering for the bed
that will not admit of tuclling in.
The lowered bedroom presents little
difficulty, offering cretonne or gorge
GUS chintz for the spread. and roquir-
ing only the careful fitting of a top
piece and its surrounding rufies left
open at the two lower corners Of the
bed, so that they will fail gracefully
on each side Of the brass leg.
The stenciled bed spread is cut and
made in the same way, but not until
the decoration has been applied to its
separate parts. a border Of corners
is designed and stenciled upon the tor
OF the spread from four TO six inches
from the edge. A continuation of the
same motif is used as border round
the ruftie. the same distance above It's
lower edge. If the conventional OF
floral design be Ntoo heavy. it may be
broken and used only at intervals
round the rufie.
A two-colored stencil, delicate greer
leaves. for instance with red or pinl
roses on yellow flowers. may be put OF
in stencil dye, which is washable wher
carefully done with warm suds ano
frequent rising.

MEDIUM WEIGHT MATERIALS
FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER

Many persons ordering an autumn
suit, intending it to do duty through

material, sufficiently interlined 10

for interlining, has, in its loosely WOW

WOMEN ARE TIRING
OF LUSTROUS SILKS

It is predicted by those who arc wise
concerning materials that crepe
weaves will have a great vogue, and
this prophecy seems to be borne out
by the more beautiful gowns OF the
year.
1t is certain that satin in any case
will not be nearly so popular as last
year. Lustrous silks have been so
much worn that women seem to have
tired of them, and, for a change. turn
ed to the duller though still supple ma
terials.
Crepe de chine viii probably prove
the most satisfactory of the hand
some materials, for it is so pliable that
it may be used for the many draped
effects in vogue and at the same time
it is heavy enough to fall prettily and
gracefully around the figure. It is

ROUND WALKING HAT
Is MUCH In FAVOR

A round walking hat, with a low
crown, suggestive Of the derby, and
with narrow brim curling upward at
the left, is already much in favor. A
number Of these are made in buclkram
frames glued tightly with plain or
striped satin. A silk braid finishes
the edge of the hat, and the trimming
consists often Of only a crown band
and a big, tailored, side-bow Of bias
velvet.
In every instance this severity re-
quires a carefully dressed and gener-
Gus coiffure TO be becoming. for the
structure must sit rather dinky on a
mass OF braids. puffs. and curls. A
skimpily dressed head. is absolutely
swallowed by it, for the shape is more
than sizeable. For this reason, also.
and because of the fiat effect, such
hats will be most becoming to large
