old days, when romance played its i'm
portant part in the lives of men.
He was an Exeter College (Oxford)
man and one of the remarkable mem
bers of the pre- Raphaelite group of
which Dante Gabriel Rossetti was the
leader. He found with these young
companions a congeniai interchange
of thought.
He went beyond them in his search
for the truth in art, for he sought it
everywhere. The crafts embodied the
highest arts for Morris, and one of
his chief aims in life was to awaken
an interest in these, and to induce
men to go back to simple forms of
beauty, and again evolve these by the
work of their hands.
Rosetti made friendly fun of Morris
in some of his efforts He talked
about 1.-The worsted work Morris was
DOING when the latter was trying
to revive the taste for artistic en-
broidery.
He devoted himself to designing
and manufacturing artistic furniture,
wall paper and stained glass; he es-
tablished the Kelmscott press, which
turned out most beautiful books; and
he went deeply into the study of
socialism, contributing strong articles
to the socialistic reviews and lee
turing widely to men and women in
terested in the problem.

WILLIAM MORRIS.

William Norris, artist, poet and the
original simple lifer," was born in
Essex, England, seventy-five years
ago, and died near London in 1896. He
has left the impress of his individual
ity on things as widely dissimilar as
art and economics, painting and furni-
ture, embroidery and poetry.
There were nine children born in
the Norris family, of whom William
was the third Before he was two
years old he showed signs of an in
dividuality that was marked for it's
independence and strength.
He had an intense romantic taste,
even as a child, and he was fortunate
in having parents who allowed him
to cultivate this without restraint. and
to work out his problems of thought.
When he was four years of age he
was reading the Waverley novels and
playing at knightly sports of adven-
ture. He also read and absorbed the
Chronicles of Froissart" Among
his boyish treasures was a toy suit of
armor, and he had a small pony. His
chief pleasure was to don this suit
and ride around the country near his
Rome, in fancy a knight of the good

CLAIM PIERCE is IMMUNE
Defense Asserts Government Cannot
Prosecute Him in Texas.


Prosecute Him in Texas.
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 6.-The chief
contention of the defense today in the
trial of H. Clay Pierce for alleged false
swearing, after the presiding judge
overruled all arguments as to the lille
gality of the affidavit, was that the
state sought to hold Pierce responsible
for confessions made on the witness
stand under the immunity clause of
Missouri.
This, it was commended in connection
with the Texas law of 1907 granting a
like immunity, exonerated the defend
ant from any responsibility in con-
nection with his narrative as to the
history of the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany.
Inasmuch as the state seeks to estab-
lish the greater part of it's case on
the testimony submitted in Missouri,
arguments are Ringing around that
problem, with lawyers on both sides
prepared for many hours discussion
as to the correctness of their respec-
tive positions.

CHICAGO, Dec 6.-The general

ed a statement tonight declar ng there
would be no gloomy Christmas for any
one because of inability Of the roads
to deliver Christmas freight.
"At the close of the sixth day of

statement, 1--WE have shown greater
concern about our ability to move
Christmas merchandise, livestock and
perishable freight is evidenced by the
fact that all lines continue to accept
traffic to and from all points without
restriction and, unless conditions were
practically normal, it can be readily

hardly use the business judgment of
continuing to accept freight to fill up
their terminals and freight houses at
the risk of enormous losses
TT has been stated that the coming
Christmas would be a gloomy one be-
cause of failure of the railroads to
transport merchandise. With refer
ence to this I'VE feel that the public
need feel no concern.
"The railroads at no time have been
apprehensive of any controversy in
dealing with other organizations, and
the labor leaders themselves to be met
in the future undoubtedly have the
same attitude toward the railroads.

This seasons evening wraps are big,
enveloping, capelike affairs that are
truly regal in their magnifieence. From
sumpeuous furs to unlined nets and
chiffons the evening wrap runs the
entire gamut of materials. Broadcloth,
velvet, broche, silk, ottoman and MORE,
crepe, all are given some place in the
showing of beautiful evening garments
for oliday affairs.
Some of the evening wraps have
sleeves and these are generally cut in
one withthe garment, a seam extend
ing across the shoulders and down the
outside of the sleeve in the most bare
faced manner. A number are shown in
the low draped effects, seemingly tied
in at the bottom in sash effect.
The more simple cuts are of the mil
itary order, circular, and hanging
straight with occasionally a slight
drapery in the front and at the sides.
The tendency is, however, to keep all
wraps along the military lines simple
in style. The reversible idea holds
strongly in favor-that is, the broad
cloth cape with complete reverse
side of satin in contrasting color
A clever wrap that was seen the
other day was long loose reversible
coat. 1t was of striking chrysaprase,
lined throughout with black, and had
huge soft pointed revers weighted by
big black tassels. When the color side
is worn outsode the big revers and
front facings show the black, but when
a darker coat is desired one simply
turns this gay coat inside out and
there is a black soft coat of smart
color.
Chiffon coats, in which lovely color
harmonies are obtained by using sew

Ors, are not a new idea, butthere are

there should be no mistake as to
who actually made the first discovery
Of gold in California Gulch. The man
was Abe Lee, who died in Park Coun-
ty a few years ago. He was one of
the best known characters in this
section. He was the first Recorder Of
Lake County.
THE first prospecting party that
entered the gulch was under the lead
ership Of Abe, and they had not been
very successful. They worked all the
way up the gulch from below Granite
without finding any values, and all of
them were nearly blinded by the
snow. They were about ready TO quit
when Lee suggested that they try an
other pan. He dug down until he
struck layer of cement, and below
this the gravel was softer Lee. al
though suffering terribly from snow
blindness. managed to pan the gravel,
and the result was such that they at
once recovered confidence. He
worked the gulch for long time and
made plenty of money.
The question has also been
asked continued Mr.. Boehmer.
where did the millions of dollars
taken out of the California gulch pla-
GERS in early days go?
"1f l remember rightly, no one
made a very large pile. but there
were scores Of men who left the gulch
with $4,000 or $4,000 and went
back East to establish themselves in
business or to buy farms AS rule

then petitioned the Superior Court
