Female Monkey Had Her Lord at
Disadvantage, and She Real
ICED It.

The leading male of troop of mon
KEYS is the patriarch, commandments
chief and effective fighting force. The
natives of India call him Maharaja-
and properly so, for he is the type
of savage despotism. He uses his
large canine teeth to maintain his
power and to secure the lions share
of everything, and is easily moved to
a paroxysm of rage. But the tyrant
has his tragedies, one of which is de-
scribed by Mr.. ]. L. Kipling, in his
MAN and Beast in India
One morning there came a monkey
chieftain, weak and limping, having
evidently been worsted in a severe
fight with another of his own kind.
One hand hung powerless, his face
and eyes bore terrible traces of bat
tie, and he hirpled slowly along with
a pathetic air of suffering, supporting
himself on the shoulder of a female

New Crochet Baq.

The girl who is fond of crocheting
is learning to make handbags to hold
purse and small articles.
These are made up In all sizes, the
favorites being quite small. Different
crochet. stitches are used, but the
handsonest bags are in Irish, with a
large rsose or shamrock in the center
of each side, and the rest of the lace
worked into a close mesh.
Directions for such bags can be had
at art needlework stores. or there are
books on linen crocheting which give
directions.
When the lace part Is finished the
bag is made up over fine white linen
or a heavy gros-grain silk.

BY Julia BottomIey.

In spite of the jibes of the critics of
tickle fashion, that strong and benefi-
cent goddess allows stability to gov
ern styles in some instances. Even in
the realm of millinery where she gives
freest rein to caprice, she has decreed
that some fabrics and some styles
shall belong to every season of the
year and every climate. Whether from
choice or compulsion, does not matter,
but the edict is out, and has been for
three years or more, that hats made
Of silk and those made of what is
called ''hair braid" are fashionable
the year round. These materials were
old-time favorites for demi-season mil
Mnery and naturally drifted from the
between-seasons period into summer
and winter use.
The transparent, lustruos braids of
which they are made look like the
braid woven of horse hair but is either
OF silk fiber or "pyroxyline," clever
product initiating hair and quite as
expensive. 1t has the advantage of
taking all colors in dye and has a
beautiful luster. There are cheaper
limitations of hair braid, in silk and
other materials. These airy braids are
SO light that they are usually used in
full RULES to cover the wire frames
over which such hats are made. They
are woven with a drawing thread
along one edge, all ready to be drawn
up to produce the required fullness.
On account of their light weight,
great quantities of braid may be used,
and the hat given a soft, fluffy ap-
pearance, the effect of mass of ruff
f1es. These braids are also easily
fashioned into rosettes, wheels, petals,
in fact into innumerable fancy effects
for adjoining or making up the body
of hats Plain hats of these braids
are made by manufacturers and
shown in a variety of shapes, ready
tC-trim, each season.
Four examples of hats, Of this ma
terial are shown, with the frames over
which they are made. 1t will be no
ticed that the shapes selected are
those that are always fashionable,

Artificial Roses,

Strings of tiny button roses are en-
twined in evening coiffures, or single
large beauty is held in the hair by
twisted velvet.
The pattern of brocade in evening
gowns is matched in large silk rose
which holds the draped bodice at the
girdle. Then, again, rows of small
flowers edge tunics of lace and punches
of roses hold up festoons of net and
tulle. Evening marabou scarfs are
held at the front by huge silk roses.
Indeed, artificial flowers have left
the hats of this season only to crop
out again in the other parts Of WON

~ " the prOSpectOrS camp, reallS-
tic feature of the Alaska gold
exhibit at the recent Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition, stood a
n Siberian malamute-very mute
just now, poor fellow, for he has
been a long time dead, and it is only
by virtue of the great love he bore
a love that was faithful unto death
that his body, in its life-like present
ment, was there in just such a scene
as, living, he might often have had
his part in
1t is just tale of the north that is
loss, doubt, danger devotion, adj
venture, adversely, fidelity, fortune
and at the last victory. There was a
man who was going to Nome-it was
several years ago-and while he lin
gered in a city of the northwest, max
ing his preparations, he fell in with a
little widow, an absolutely nice, capti-
waiting and lonesome little widow of a
doctor who had left her a few thou
sand dollars and a daughter, says Isa-
bel H. Raymond in the New York
Tribune.
They married. The man had invest
ed most of his capital in his outfit for
the white north, but that was small
matter; the little woman had some,
and they were going together, and it
would be all his. The doctors
daughter was placed in school and the
two new comrades sailed away for
Nome. There they made such a home
as might be made in those days, by
the tundra side, and though there was
not much else in it there were love
and comfort. For household pet and
companion the man gave to his wife
young Siberian Northumberland curl
Gus cross between wolf and a dog,
which is sometimes a faithful friend
and sometimes a savage enemy. This
one, as he grew into shaggy white
symmetry and strength, proved true
gold, and was much beloved by both
the man and the woman.
Then there came the Candle creek
rush, that stampede which drove men
to the northernmost gold fields of the
world and half depopulated Nome.
The man and the woman, debating
but briefly, decided that he should
take this chance at fortunes wheel.
So the winter grew, but no word
came out from Candle creek and only
the vast white silence answered the
wordless questions that were asked.
At last she gave way-spring came,
and still no word, and when the first
boat sailed south from Nome the wom-
an, the malamute and the little money
she had left went with it.
The man in the north knew his own
business. Up at Candle creek there
was a camp of half-starved, haggard
men. their quest failure, their num-
bers far too many for the food supply,
no money to pay the price of anything
should a miracle bring it their way
Then, with a heavy heart, he sat
down to write to the loved woman
waiting there below, and he told her
all this pitiful story-how the fellows
were starving and penniless when he
arrived, and of course he fed them
but they were good fellows, and when
they struck it in the spring there
would be pay and profit for him sure.
Meanwhile she must be patient and
try not to blame him, and he would
surely make good yet; and he sent
her his dear love, and she must not

A PLEASING Touch Of Vivid BED.

It is many seasons since the red
note was permissible, but to-day it is
not only permissible, but de rigueur.
No doubt the vogue for black is to
a certain extent responsible for it. At

TExARKANA AND SWAkiPOODLE

 The missile struck Mable just under the left eye, and brought her promptly to earth, the, brick having been hurled with great force Mabel at once raised ter rife howl and Rodecker's legs got suddenly busy and began to car ry him out of the neighborhooG.
 But Fate had decreed that he should not escape.

Tax ing Tn the significance of the whole affair at a glance Row. man at once donned his war pant. and gave chase to the lleelng figure and in few sec onds had caught up with it and the second battle of the day was on in dead earnestt
 The fault to find is why Tex arKana premlts Swainpoodle where this affair is said to have nappeuedl Each issue of both the Iexarkana dailies give soma ac- count of crime committed there ana yet the place is counten- enced.
