FREAK IN sEQUoIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six
teen Years Severed From
Its Base.

Out in California there is tree
trunk which has stood for the last Ii
years entirely severed from its base,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is 10 feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn of by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
m;scalculation, when the cut was nm
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
| ignited the tree still remained stand
! ing, and it was discovered that the
! entire trunk had been shattered by
| the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, tht
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstandfng SOM
of the severest wind storms that thu
state has known, held in it's natura
position by it's great weight.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

A New One About Napoleon.

A new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that 1T has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course of history"
"How?"
why, you might have thrown hin
| out of the window"
"Confound it," replied Butcher. "S
l might! If only | had thought OF It.

Disease Cured by cutIeura.

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. BY
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and tried several RENE
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought would try them. gave her
q hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura

lieved the itching and in short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

WHARF, Sitting Bull Was.

Doane Robinson, head of the depart

Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: "The Indians tell
me that Sitting Bull was a medicine

AGAINST the whites, and that he did
not personally engage in the fight

sy JULIA BoTToMLEY.

BY what gift of the gods did the
Greeks arrive at the most beautiful OF
all the innumerable styles of dressing
the browning glory of woman? LII they
had not demonstrated their superiori-
ty in discovering ideals of beauty in
other directions we would have to
concede that they were first in the
art of the couture.
Three modern examples built upon
classic models are shown in this ar
ticle from an artist who has no SUI
perior. They are at once exquisitely
beautiful and simple and have rightly
been named the Daphne" the Dl-
ana" and the Psyche" coiffures.
There is nothing intricate or impossi-
BILE to the amateur in their construc-
ton, and little study reveals that
they are suited to heads of various
contours, designed to improve their
outlines where they are not perfectly
regular.
When the wearer has an abundant
supply of hair the Daphne" and the
the Psyche" might be arranged with
out the addition of any false hair. 1t
would be difficult to arrange the
stately Diana without a braid OF
even width it's entire length and
heavy enough. A small thin braid
would not produce the right effect and
few women have hair enough to use
SO much for the braid and have
enough besides to form the knot o
curls at the back. These coiffures are
all arranged with piece placed unde
the natural hair about the face ant
cluster of short curls pinned on a

lent to arrange the hair with these

THE SLEEPY EYE TRAGEDY.
Senator SomeryiIIe, With Two Bullet
We unds, May Yet Recover.

The sensation of last week was
the attempted murder of Senator
Geo. w. Somerville at Sleepy Eye
and subsequent suicide of his assail-
ant, j ohm F. Hayner.
The shooting was done last
Wednesday morning, between nine
and ten o'clock, in the private Office
of Mr.. Somerville, after brief in
terview lasting less than five minutes.
Hayner came into the attorneys Of
flee while he was debating a letter
and asked for an interview. The
lady then retired to the outer Office
and Mr.. Somerville closed the door
for the interview. Less than five
minutes afterward the stenographer
heard shots and Mr.. Somerville ut
tered a deep groan, soon after rum
ming to his partner, Mr.. Hauser, and
saying that he was shot and asking
for a doctor. The wounded man
was soon conveyed to an automobile
and Drs. Stricken and Welcome gave
him their immediate attention. Two
bullets had lodged in Mr.. Somer-
ville's body, one passing through
the left arm and entering the
shoulder so as to Craze the left lung,
the other going through the body
below the heart. The Herald-Dis-
patch says that after the shooting
while Hayner was still in the front
room, he fired another shot that, he
told the editor, was meant for HIM
self. The gun was pointed at his
head but the bullet went wild and
struck the ceiling, going through
the roof. lie evidently lost courage
and did not repeat the effort to kill
himself but walked out to the back
room and looked at Mr.. Somervllle
as he sat in chair. Miss Dovre
asked if that was the man that did
the shooting and Mr.. Somervllle
said that he was the man. His name
was Hayner but he did not recognize
him at first. Hayner left the room
and in so doing met Chief of Police
Matter in the door who told him he
was under arrest. The two left the
room and Hayner was placed in the
CITY lookup, and afterwards removed
TO New Ulm for safe keeping.
Hayner handed the policeman thu
