MRS. TAFT's UNIQUE COAT.
Presented With Garment of 1s3 Se-
 lected Skunk Skins.

As a tribute to the mistress of the White House, as well as to his own ability as a devotee of nimrod, a Bay State trapper will soon present Mrs. Taft what is considered the most unique coat ever worn by an American woman.
 The coat is made entirely of skunk skins, and to James A. Calf belongs the credit of having originated the idea as well as having collected the skins. The coat intended for Mrs. Taft is made of 1S3 skunk skins. Each one of these skins has been specially chosen for the purpose.
 Except for the deep collar and cuffs, the coat will be entirely black. Each skin is cpt in such a way that the white streaks do not show. The collar and cuffn however, are decorated with four and a half inches in length. Around the bottom of the coat there is a border eight inches deep of the heaviest black fur. Otherwise the fa- nous coat is perfectly plain. It is forty-six inches long and the lining, besides an intermediate one of soft deerskin, is of white silk.
 Not the least interesting detail of the coat is the identification mark on the inside of the collar. This is a clever representation of the seal of the United States and is made wholly of porcu- pine quills. These quills are tiny bits of spines dyed red, white and blue, and so cleverly are they put together that a perfect miniature of the seal is the result. Below, in heavily embroidered crimson silk, is the one initial "T."- Baltimore News.

Football of the Worst Sort.

Harvard's game is hard on the op- posing tackles. It killed Byrne; it looked for few minutes as though Lilley had got the same sentence: and Paul and Spencer, who followed Lilley and were used up one after another, looked at times as though about ready for the undertaken. This mass play on single spot until it is worn out is the feature of football that horrifies the tender hearted locker on who does not really love the sight of physical collision between determined human beings. This reference to tackles in- 5ured by Harvard play is made only because 1t illustrates the characteristic of Harvard's powerful line play this year, which overcomes all opposition as long as the force holds out It is old-fashioned football of the worst sort, which was partially reformed by the 10-yard rule. It is so different from Yale's game and so futile against Yaie's artistic defense-the line playing wide apart to meet the surprises of the oren game, and tightening to meet the close mass play as the enemy finds it's nov elites met and thwarted. Yale's attack also is the highest complication of modern football to date-varied. pie turesque. strong, elastic tiring and confusing, but almost never injuring an ntagonist.-Waterb American.

The Earth Still Shakino.

The Seismic shock at Salinas, Cali fornia, on Monday, which exceeded in severity any that has beens felt since the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, reminds us of the remarkable duration of the present period of the earth's instability. Since the eruption in Mar unique in 1902 there has been a con- stant succession of tremors and emis- siOnS; and while science assures us that there is no necessary connection between the two, to the lay mind 1t seems as if the occurrence of one were pretty certain to portend the appear ance of the other. Tn California there have been so many shakings of the earth in the last three and half years that they now attract little attention, yet a shock like this at Salinas, which caused buildings to rock and creak for fifteen seconds, is calculated to make even the blase Californian sit up and take notice.-Providence Journal.

Must save twenty Millions.

Chairman John w Weeks of the committee on post offices and post post roads intends to make relatively short work of the post office appro- priation bill this year. Congress will come in on Dec. 6, and Chairman of his committee for Wednesday. two days after. It was the custom of Jesse ~Overstreet of Indiana, when chairman of the committee, to get from the department as early ill the summer as possible the estimates for the next fiscal year. These he would take to his home in Indiana, and when he reached Washington he would have the bill fairly well along. For some reason not yet explained. Postmaster General Hitchcock has made a ruling which has prevented the post office committee from beginning it's work. This has mot worried Mr. Weeks. how ever, and the estimates will be in his hands early enough for practical pur- poses. Chairman Weeks has retained E. L. Williams, who has been clerk of the committee for several years, and has all the benefits of that capable officials information. Louis H. War ner, formerly a member of the Massa : chusetts house, is made assistant clerk of the committee. while Mrs. Bessie c. Henderson remains as one of the most efficient of private sec retaries.
 The task facing the committee on post offices and post roads is not an easy one. The annual deficit of the post office department this year is about $20,000,O00. and the committee is expected to eliminate it. Mir. Weeks expresses confidence that he will suc- ceed. If he does he will make a rec ord Washinpton pOsSin has some times asserted that Speaker Cannon put Weeks at the head of this com mttee to kill the postal savings bank bill, but the story has no foundation. The chairman never has committed himself as to the merits of the saw ings bank plan. although as a member of the national monetary commission he believes that fiscal legislation of this kind should be held in abeyance until the commission has considered the subject and eported.-Boston TranScript

 A familiar burden in every home,
 The burden of ssbad back"
 A lame, a weak or an aching back
 Tells you of kidney ills
 Deans Kidney Pills will cure you.
 Here is Norwich testimony to prove 1t:
 Eugene Sweet, Sunnyside Avenue, Norwich, Conn.,, says: Tt was at least twelve years ago that I first learned of the value of Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I was in great need of a kidney remedy. For eight weeks I was confined to my bed on account of lumbago and was almost helpless, having to be turned over and being unable to move at all without assistance. My suffering was about all any person could endure. Sharp pains across my Joins and kidneys caused misery of the worst kind. In addition to this I was annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secre- tions. I consulted three of the best physicians in Providence, R. l., but they failed to make the slightest im- provement. It was finally my good fortune to read of Doan's Kidney Pills and I was so much impressed with what was said in their favor that began their use. Their beneficial ef- feet was soon noticeable and l con- tinued to improve so rapidly that was soon able to resume work. I give the entire credit of my recovery to Doan's Kidney Pills, and never intend to be without a supply in the house. More than one sufferer from kidney complaint and rheumatism has thanked me for telling him about the efficiency of Deans Kidney Pills"

EXCITING ELECTION IN ALABAMA
Prohibition Amsndment to the State Constitution Defeat ed by from 12,o0O to 10000 votes-Feeline Ran High

Birmingham Ala, Nov. 29.-Alaba- mans toSsay defeated a prohibition amendment to the state constitution by a majority estimated at from 12,000 to 10000 votes. Today's election was the first popular expression in Ala bama on the subject.
 The statewide prohibition bill was passed by a legislature which had been elected on a local option platform; and while several counties had declared for prohibition under the local option act the voters of the entire state had nev- CT before been called on to pass on the question direct.
 In Birmingham the election was the most exciting ever witnessed. Hun dreds of people were crowded around each polling place, women and chill dren were singing and brass bands stationed by the anti amendment forces were playing patriotic airs. Impossible to Keep Track of Fist

many that 1t was impossible to keep track of them. Feeling was so high that a few words were sufficient to bring on blows. Every other voter was challenged and required to make aff1- davit to being qualified elector. This delayed the casting of ballots consid- erably; but in spite of handicaps the vote was heavy.
 Deep Feeling Displayed.
 As an instance of the deep feeling displayed, a preacher, on whose coat a young woman attempted to pin 3 white ribbon at the polling booth, de- clined, telling her it was improper for young women to speak in the street to men whom they did not know. The woman began crying and the preacher apologized for hurting her feelings, but said the polling places were improper places for young women. The affair was taken up all over the city and partisans commended or denounced the conduct of the preacher, according to their sentiments on the question at stake.

Bran Biscuits.

Scientists, like trusts, are righteous ly to be classed as good, had and in different, we suppose. The bad ones are forever poking around among germs and things, discovering fashion, able diseases with long Latin names and expensive operation attachments. The good search out cheap but whole some substitutes for expensive foods and things. The indifferent are not worthy of consideration at all, of course.
 One of the benevolent variety refer red to has been busy out in Battle Creek, Mich. where the breakfast provenders come from, you know, in- vestigating along his usual lines of endeavor, and has reached the conclu- sion that the most digestible and thor oughly nourishing part of the wheat is the bran thereof, and that man makes a great mistake when he permits it to be used for chicken and stock feed only. This good scientist has experi- mented exhaustively with bran bis- cults, and finds them not only appe- tizing and satisfying to the demands of hunger, but extremely valuable as tissue builders and blood enrichers. In addition to these highly gratifying att tributes, the biscuits are ridiculously cheap in comparison with their more patrician kinsmen, the white bread Washington Herald

The income of the tax collectors of flee so far this year is about s1,010,000. This is an increase of $75,000 or 7.S per cent. over that of last year.
 In 1905, the year before Francis T. Reeves began his first term as tax col lector, the total income of the office was SS34.000. MT. Reeves receipts this year are S176.0O0 more than in 1905, an in- crease of over 20 per cent. In addition the total revenue for this year will be increased by one days collection of the Hpecial state and county tax. MT. Reeves estimates that at least S100,000 1f this special tax will be paid on the 4rst day, Dec. l.
 This increase in the receipts is due % the larger grand list, increased wa Der rents and to the fact that Mir Reeves put into effect the partial pay fnent system, and hence has only a small amount of uncollected taxes on his books-Waterbury Republican.

COMMON SENSE

very best fri end a boy of about his own age were left alone one day to amuse themselves as best they might while their mother went visiting. As little boys will, nomatter where you find them, they soon tired of play and started out to find something good to eat. Now at this time the little Thlinget knew very little about cookies or ginger
 bread but they found something that was just as sweet to them which happened to be a pre- pared stomach of a large DOT poise full of seal oil. After a great deal of trouble they succeeded in preparing a royal feast and were just sitting down to eat when the mother came home and found the house in a very untidy condition. The lit- tie boys were spanked and warn- ed to leave such things alone in the future, but to make sure she hung the oil far up in the roof out of the reach of her young
 hopeful when she started out on her next round of calls.
 The young man however was not to be outdone. Calling his partner he stationed him under the bag of oil with a cup while he shot a hole in it with his bow and ar rows. The cup was filled alright but then the trouble began. Thero was no way of stopping the hole and the downpour continued till every drop of oil had run out and the floor was covered with the grease, and great was the sor- row in that camp when ma came home.
 So said a Thlinget friend of ours the other day when the sub- iect of old customs came up, there is no way to stop them when they start to come out.

hunting, our people nave nearly all returned to their home for the winter and we are already well into the winters work. In order to accomplish the most while the people are within our reach we must have our plans well laid. We began by holding communion on October "A, at which time twelve united with the church, all but one of these uniting on confession of their faith in Christ. The communion season is always a thoughtful time for the natives, but this row of eleven young people dedl- eating their lives to Jesus sChrist seemed to add much to the deep spirit of the meeting. On this occasion very few remained away from the service and as result the church was well filled.
 AS minister, I had been look ing forward to this season and had determined to take advan- tage of it to speak to my people about tithing, and urge them to consecrate a larger amount Of theirmoney to the work of the church. I felt that for their own good they needed to take this step and I felt also thatthe time had come when they were ready for it. At the communion ser vice Ispoke about tithing and then called a congregational meeting for the following We'd nesday evening.
