A novel little accessory to accom-
pany the early fall suit is a three
piece set of bag, purse and card case
of fooled leather. Leather is as USE
full as it is beautiful for dainty things
and it lends itself readily to the max
ing of many ordinary articles. The
beauty of the texture of the leather
is enhanced by tooling-that is, by
pressing down background, thereby
leaving the design in relief. In the
wild rose designs, which we are CIV
ing to-day, the black portions are the
backgrounds.
Russian calf is the best leather for
tooling, or any leather of soft texture,
the very glossy feathers being much
harder to work on. and not nearly so
effective when finished.
The most economical way to buy is
by the half skin, which usually costs
from $3.50 to SO. Two friends often
purchase the leather together and di-
vide it.
To do the work, two tools at 30
cents each are necessary, one for out
lining, known in the shops as letter
c." and the other for modeling-"let-
ter b."
Follow these directions carefully
for tooling:
Take small piece of the leather to
practice on, in order to become famil
lar with the material. Cut the leather
bit larger than the pattern, so as
to have margin in which to try the
condition of the leather.
Place the right side up on hard
smooth board. Have a dish of cold
water, and with a clean sponge dab
the water all over the leather, being
careful to put II on evenly so that
there will be no water marks. Let 1t
dry little, and then test 1t on the
margin to see If it is in good working
condition.
II, in using the tool, little drops Of
water appear on the leather, II is too
wet. 1t is ready to use when the tool
glides smoothly over the surface, leav-
ing good. clear mark. Do not bear
on hard enough to cut the leather.
When the leather is in working con.
dition transfer the design as follows:
flace tne ueSlBn Oh tne leatner ana
hold 1t firmly in place while, with the
outlining tool. held like a lead pencil,
you go over every line of the design,
using considerable pressure. When the
paper is removed, there should be a
clear impression of the design on the
leather.
Study the design carefully. The de.
sign is to be in low relief, the back.
ground pressed down.
Veining of leaves, flowers, finishing
lines and centers of flowers are done
with the modelling tool.
For the fooled background hold the
modelling tool with the fiat edge
against the outline of the design, and
the rounded edge toward the back.

raccoon vaults on the calf's back and
bareback rider in circus. A once
vicious bull does equine high school
tricks, and so on. The calf and the
bull are the star performers. No one
ever has been able to teach such ami
mails to do stunts" before.
1t has been tradition among train
ers that it is impossible to educate
domestic horned cattle to do tricks.
Miss Won Oil decided to experiment
with the toughest subject she could
find. She let it be known that she
wanted to buy the most dangerous
and vicious two or three-year-old bull
that was obtainable for miles about
Plainfield. Much to her joy she heard
of one whose owner was going to kill
him because of his superlatively ugly
temper. He was between two and
three years old. and had gored three
men. 1t was the same with this
vicious animal that it had been with
the horses she had tanned on the range
years before. Surlily and unwillingly
at first he yielded to the dominance
that he could not understand. Miss
Won Oil got him this spring. To-day,
with her, he is as gentle and as clever
at doing quickly and intelligently the
unusual things he has been taught IS
is a docile and well-trained horse. He
poses on barrels and pedestals, lies
down and rolls over at the word of
command, waltzes, and so on. Even
yet, though, his evil nature will flare
up for an instant, but it needs only a
word from his trainer to make him
obedient again.
One of this bulls most remarkable
tricks. considering his vicious record
of three men gored and tossed with
his sharp horns, is when he rolls his
trainer over and over on the ground.
Miss Won Oil lies on the grass pre-.
tending to be asleep. The bull ap-
proaches and literally roots and noses
her across the turf seeming to derive
great enjoyment from rolling her over
and over and finally seeing her awake.
His horns are only four or five inches
long, but are sharp as needles. With
perts say, this particular trick is a
shade more dangerous than any that
is attempted in the lions or tigers
cages by the exhibitors of those great
cat animals. Another thing this bull
does is to pick up his teacher and
carry her. He grabs her clothing with
his strong teeth and marches along
with her for a dozen yards and then
carefully let's her down to the ground.
Miss Won Ohl's first notable achieve.
ment In training stupid animals was
some years ago, when she taught a
herd of 20 mules to do some remarka.
BILE tricks. Horses have been trained
to do all sorts of things from time i'm.
memorial, but mules are credited with
having small brains and of invariably
misapplying what little intelligence
they possess. 1t was while she was
living on the ranch that she taught
the mules.

George W. Wickersham.

sponse; not an unnecessary word is
used. You say good-day. Mr.. Wick
ersham smiles broadly again. grasps
your hand, whirls. and dashes back to
his desk.
Nobody could tell whether MI
Donaparte was joking or serious when
he talked. He had fashion of tell
ing the most solemn. portentous
things with his face screwed into a
comical. droll grin which gave the i'm
preston that he was indulging in a
little foolery.
Nobody will make this mistake
about George w. Wickersham. When
he announces that the government is
to sue the whisky trust or the sugar
trust. everybody who hears him will
know that he means it.
When word first came to Washing
ton that Taft had chosen a New York
man named Wickersham to be attor-
ney general it created much wonder
ment.
The Roosevelt trust busters shook
their heads obviously the deeper they
dug into Mr.. Wickersham' record. 1t
was found that he had done effective
work for James J. Hill in some old
railroad suits in the middle west 12
years ago, and that he had been the
master mind in a big railroad merger
negotiated by the Mexican govern
ment. More recently Mr.. Wickersham
had been associated with New York
corporations and was general counsel
for the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company up to a few months ago.
1t seemed as though the new attor-
ney general was straight-out cor
poration lawyer and when August Bel
mont's publicity agent chaperoned
him on his first trip to Washington
the reformers and radicals were some
what discouraged.
After brief talk with Mr.. Wick
ershan the doubling Thomases were
somewhat reassured. At any rate
they have suspended judgment and
are willing to believe that the anti
trust laws are to be enforced. Re-
calling the metamorphosis of Philan-
der Chase Knox from trust conserver
to trust buster. the hopeful ones have
plucked up courage in Mr.. Wicker
sham's case.
II am just trying to get acquainted
with the machinery of my new Office"
said the attorney general when asked
about his policy. ut is too early to
be talking about what we expect to
do. We don't propose to be dragooned
into bringing suits. We will bear in
mind that indictments must be tried
in court and decided by the evidence
and the law. The facts in a specific
case and not public clamor will de-
termine our course"
District attorneys have informed
their friends that they were forced
into obtaining indictments in land
fraud cases and other scandals result
ing from undertaking. in many cases
against their wishes and with no idea
that the indictments would hold wa
ter. Attorney General Wickersham is
going over these records and dropping
those he believes cannot be sustained
and preparing to push others which
he finds are well-founded.
