COVERS IN eLARINe coLoRs.
East Indian Designs Are Just NoR Ex-

Since the fashion in making East
Indian patterns and designs on many
fabrics came back into fashion there
has been a wide demanded for the
printed Gotten table cover in these
cClors.
These are used for bedroom. library
and sitting room tables They sell
for small prices from a dollar up. The
background is white and the figures
are brilliant green and red and yell
low.
The border is distinctly East Indian,
often in the cashmere pattern.
Large peacocks in the brilliant blues
and greens strut over the surface, and
huge baskets of red flowers make a
circle in the center.
The woman who needs new table
covers and who does not wish to in
vest in expensive affairs could not do
better than choose one of these.
IN bedroom or sitting room where
old colonial furniture is used these
table cloths are especially effective,
for they were much used in the period
that gave birth to the mahogany furni-
ture.
One decorator has used four of the
smaller covers. with baskets of roses
and the cashmere border as a cover

WRAPPERS NO LONGER WORN.
Loose indoor Gown Is the One Now
Most in Favor.

Wrappers are no longer in vogue.
They may be worn when one is dress
ing or sleeping or attending to minor
details in the house, but they are not
the garment to be put on for other
hours.
The morning wrapper for private
wear is now an exceedingly pretty af-
fair. II has nothing in common with
the calico Mother Hubbard of other
days The kimona has settled all that.
Ii has given its shape to all these gar
ments. Therefore, the indoor robe is
graceful and is made of pretty, soft
fabric But it has its place and its
hours. The loose indoor gown is the
one now popular for evening wear
when there are no callers.
The busy woman, the tired woman
and especially the woman who works
during the day at any other order of
task does not want to put on a tight
gown every evening She wants one
that IS comfortable and artistic.
The new ones which are generally
worn are cut on empire line and do
Not require corset under them. They
are in one piece, fastened down front

a new gold camp. one day the prayer was
answered, for early In 1879 the word came
out of the Rockies that a mine of fabulous
richness had been opened at the foot Of
Mount Massive, one Of the highest peaks in
Colorado. II was a brief but thrilling story.
as the stories of new gold camps always
are. 1t was that a storekeeper named Ia
Dor had 'grubstaked" two miners named
Rische and Hook. who had sunk a shaft on
one OF the most unpromising hills in the dis
trict. The miners came back several times
after more grub. and Tabor's friends sd-
vised him to turn them off; but the store
keeper said he had faith in the men and
sent them back with full packs.
One day Tabor's faith was rewarded. for,
at a depth OF twenty-eight feet, these two
poverty-stricken miners uncovered a lode
Of surprising richness. This was the be-
ginning OF the Little Plttsburg mine. one
OF the greatest mines ever opened in the
west-and also it was the beginning OF the
spectacular career OF Horace A. W. Tabor,
who opened mine after mine, ana acquired
million after million. only to have every
dollar swept away from him a few years
later. There was no doubling the genuine
ness OF the discovery made by Hook and
Rische. The smelter returns from the ore
showed fabulous values. The news spread
like wildfire and soon Fryor Hill. the scene
OF the strike, was covered with claims and
shafts. On this hill were developed such
great mines as the Robert Il. Lee, Climax.

one example will show the reckless char
acter of the mining. The owners Of the
Robert +. Lee mine made a wager that
they could take out $4,000 worth of ore
in twenty-four hours. After twelve hours
OF work some machinery broke down, but
it was found that $4,000 worth OF ore had
been sent 10 the smelter at a net cost OF

In the history OF western mining. and il II
not strange that the whole country was
bitten with the Leadyille fever. Mining
stocks were selling at reckless figures in
New York and fortunes were being made
In the sale of bits Of paper representing
interests in Leadville properties. In a few
months, however, there came a tremendous
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-30

slump. The mines could not continus Ia
stand such a drain on their resources.
Dividends shrunk and soon the word was
passed that the Leadvillc boom had coll
iapsed, Little Pittsburg shares dropped
from S5 to Sc in New York. Experts re-
ported that the camp had seen the end Of
ITS glory, aud on tho heels Of the SLUMP
came a great strike of miners. But many
men still retained their faith
IN Leadville and were confident that more
careful mining would bring great results.
The faith OF these men was justified. for
i"sdvile - still ono of the greatest mining
camps in the world.
Incidentally there is being completed al
LesoYaie the fascinating story OF the spec-
t2raiar mining king, Il. A. W. Tabor,
whose grub stake" resulted in the dis
covcry Of the camp. Tsbor's millions we're
swept away and ne died a few years ago
at Denver, where influential friends had
obtained for him a pOstmaster's appoint
ment In recognition of the benefits he had
conferred upon the state and capital. There
was only one spar le:t out OF All the wreck
OF the Tabor fortunes, and that was the
old Matches mine, which Tabor had given
his wife. For years Mrs. Tabor has struE-
gled TO hold the Matchless mine. She has
faced grim poverty rather than sell out her
interest. II was only a few months ago
that the courts finally established the va
lidity Of her claim to the mine. Now she
is living in Leadyille firm in tie faith that
the Matchless mine will again be a divl-
dend payer and that the term Tabor luck"
will be invested with its oldtims meaning.

One night. however, a little barber
named Bockhaus changed all this. He
was a rank 'tenderfoot' and carried a
revolver OF tiny caliber. This he held
in his hand when he was making his way

two h~ighWaymen, and when he held up
his hands his pistol was accidentally dis
charged The bullet struck one of the
highwaymen in the heart, and the other
fellow ran away. after shooting a few
times at the frightened barber. Bockhaus
fired instinctively at the other highway
