When Is woman at Her Best:
IF it is not a paradox says man,
81 like a woman best while she is
still a girl, while she still retains her
frank innocence and freshness. the
bloom which the world so soon rubs
off. The girl in her teens is simplici-
ty itself-and simplicity is w0man's
greatest charm" "A woman is at her
best when she has just become en-
gagged" another says. She sees
everything couleur de rose then. The
whole world is bright and beautiful.
Everybody seems kind to her. and she
feels on the best of terms with every
body She becomes bright and ami
mated She achieves things, launches
out in ways that nobody supposed her
capable of"
"A woman is at her best during the
earlier years Of married life. Dur
ing the engagement she has perhaps
been seltishly wrapped up in her lover,
and has only striven to cultivate that
side of her character which most ap-
peals to him. After marriage, though
the glamour of romance still fingers,
she is installed in home of her own,
where the more practical side of her
character is developed. Her outlook
is broadened. her sympathies deepened.
The sacred duty of motherhood has
claimed her, but she has not reached
the trials and anXieties that too often
age a woman before her time
Il think woman is at her best in
the bloom of young motherhood. Her
sympathies are reader and deeper,
her whole nature is softened and made
beautiful Another suggests that the
mother of 50 or so. with three or four
young children. is even more at her
zenith. ''She has passed the empty
foolishness of youth. she has learned
the grandeur and nobleness of bring
ing up children. But she is still young
enough to enjoy herself She has

Decision for Tobacco Trust.

Chief Justice Cullen, of the New
York Court of Appeals, has rendered
an important decision bearing on the
right of a corporation or an individ-
lal to control a staple article of
.rade. The complaint was that of
John A. Locker against the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company or the tobacco
trust and its agents. 1t was held
that the latter owned or controlled so
large a part of the staple tobacco ar
ticles that no dealer or jobber could
do business without handling the
goods of the trust, and that the trust
had appointed an exclusive selling
agent in New York, refusing TO sell
any goods to the complainant. The
Judge held that unless it could be
shown that several persons or COM
panies had combined or conspired in
this particular case to refuse TO sell
to or deal with the complainant it
could not be maintained in law that
the refusal was illegal. He did not
think that 1.-The extent of the business
can affect the rights of the parties"
In conclusion, however, he says: IF
the aggregation of enormous indus
tries under single control is eco
nomic evil, as to which l express no
opinion, the evil can be easily cured
by the Legislature"

The length of skirts varies almost
as the shape of sleeves, and that is
saying a good deal. However, all
walking skirts must clear the ground
all around this year. The skirts of
the new tailored suits for travelling
and shopping are all walking length.
More handsome suits, in broadcloth,
rajah and other fabrics used for
''dressy" wear appear with a short
train. Many suits are being made
this season with one coat, usually
braided and in the three-quarter
length, or longer, and two skirts. One
of these will be of the ground, in
trotteur length, while the other, for
more ceremonious occasions, will have
the graceful short train. Walking
skirts are capable of some variation.
The short woman should wear hers
as long as she can without touching.
while the tall woman will look well
in a much shorter skirt Women of
medium height will find a skirt two
inches off the ground an effective
length. Genuine princess gowns
should always have trains. This is
not true, however, of the semi-prin-
cess frocks where the belt DESTROYS
the actual princess lines. All evening
frocks except those for dancing are
being made with trains.

socialis, Editor Convicted.

Fred c. Warren, managing editor
of the Appeal to Reason, was found
guilty at Fort Scott, Kan, on the
charge of having misused the mails
in connection with his offer of a re-
ward of $1,000 to any person who
would kidnap former Governor Tay-
lor of Kentucky, and return him TO
that State. This offer, which was
circulated two years ago, was de-
signed to draw attention to the al
legged kidnapping of the accused min
ers' leaders from Colorado by the Of
ficials of Idaho. Former Gov. Taylor
was present at the trial as a witness
for the State, but was questioned only
briefly by the State and not at all by
the defense. Warren's defense was
that he has as much right as Q pri-
vate citizen as any official had to of
fer reward for the capture of any
fugitive. He charges that the jury
was composed of men openly hostile
to him and to his party. The case
will be appealed to a higher court.

BUSH FIRES CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Big Mills Go Down Before the On

Big Mills Go Down Before the On
Rush of Destructive Flames.
Word has been received at Winni-
peg that hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed and scores of ranchers were
forced to flee for their lives, as the re-
suit of disasters from bush fires thai
swept the country from Notch Hill,
as far east as Three Valley, and south
from Sycamore as far as Vernon in
the Kootenays. Among the losses are
two large saw mills, both of which
were totally consumed in the wall of
flame that swept overland. The Car
lin mill, located between Tappem Sid
ing and Notch Hill, was wiped out,
with loss of $4,000, as was also the
Carrigan mill on Salmon river, valued
at $4,000. Several mill hands had to
flee for their lives. Three large bush
fires have been burning for several
days, and a terrific gale soon brought
them into contact with each other.
Barns and houses fell prey to the
lire. and many head of cattle were lost
while scores of settlers left every
thing and fastened to save their
lives. The total losses. it is known,
will reach half a million dollars. The
Canadian Pacific Railroad fences and
telegraph lines were destroyed for
nearly twenty miles, and telegraph
communication between Revelstoke
and Kamloops was cut off for hours.
West of Kamloops the wires were
blown down by high winds.

MONEY WITHOUT OWNERS.
Millions on Deposit for which
Claimants Cannot be Fcund.

Millions on Deposit for Which
Claimants Cannot be Fcnnd.
Although there are millions OF peo-
pie In the United States without
dollar to their names, there are per
haps In the aggregate millions OF dol
lars lying in savings banks and other
financial institutions without owners.
In some States such accounts pass
into the possession Of the State after
certain number of years. In Penn
sylvania, for example, the law directs
the disposition of money of the dead
or missing after their accounts have
been inactive for thirty years.
This law was passed In 1872; 1t re-
quires that officers Of savings funds
make returns Of such accounts to the
State Treasurer and turn over to that
official the moneys which thus escheat
to the State.
One of the largest institutions in
the State since the passage Of the law
has turned over something like $50, GOO.
Another, in one year, turned over 81
400.
In a number Of States there are no
legislative regulations like in Pennsyl-
vania. and financial institutions are
considerably enriched by the money of
missing depositors.
One such institution in an eastern
State is said to have paid for splen-
did new building largely with money
In its vaults that had no owners. or,
at least, none that could be found
1t is not to be inferred that financial
institutions, as a rule, hold and use
the money of missing depositors with
dishonest intent. Most OF them make
earnest endeavors to locate the owners
of accounts. Sometimes accounts get
into the missing owners lists in singh
lar ways.
Some time ago a prominent savings
institution unearthcd, after consider
able search, a man who had 5000 on
deposit there and knew nothing Of his
good fortune. 1t seems the money had
been placed there in his name several
