JUST as soon as Congress assembled

of the frauds perpetrated by the Sugar

Negligee Costumes Becoming Popular

us co:lar or "choker," la Elkins, or
Clay or Charles Sumner tripping
about the senate chamber in tan
shoes, la Lorimer of Illinois.
A blase observer, looking over the
variegated display of unconventional
dress on the floor of the senate not
long ago rendered the opinion that if
haberdashery had been as far ad-
vanced then as now the statesmen of
that glOrified period would have ia
ken advantage of it. But it does knock
school book ideals to flinders, never
theless, to view the realities of to-
day. Convention as to attire is losing
ground even faster than the traditions
that are falling under the force of rad
ical senators who recently have en-
tered the senate. Since Vice-P resi-
dent Sherman appeared one day in a
suit of blue Georgia cotton, the SEN
ators have been poisoning out in
the merriest and most striking modes
that spell for comfort and hot wealth
er ease.
The southern senator's are more prone
to cling to the boiled shirt" Collec-
lively the senate resembles an aggre-
cation of bank clerks as it pursues
it's work. Dignity is very, very negli-
gee AS yet, however, no statesman
has removed his shoes, as a southern
senator did his boots one sultry day a
few wears ago

He Dug Frisco From the "Quake."

Timothy Carroll, the California in.
ventor and builder who cleared away
the debris of the San Francisco disas-
ter, dumping it into the bay, adding
20 acres of disable ground to the Oak
land side, has settled his claim for
royalty on dumping wagons and ap-
paratus used on beet dumps in Colo
RADIO.
For years the name of Tim Carroll
has been a familiar one to Colorado
mining operators and sugar beet grow
ers. BY the use of the dumping device
of the Californian here thousands of
dollars have been saved annually in
the shipment of products and the re-
moval of ore. For some time the COM
panies have been using dumping ap-
paratus made along the same lines
Carroll presented his claims and after
an investigation, they were settled.
Carroll is one of the unique figures
of the coast country. In the face of
adverse criticism Carroll followed his
own ideas concerning the disposal of
the debris from the earthquake in the
coast metropolis and succeeded by teh
use of his apparatus on f1atboats and
wagons in building up 20 acres in the
bay with the rubbish cleared from
the wrecked buildings News

senate Puzzled Over Roosevelt Busts

While Senator Wetmore, chairman
of the library committee, has not COM
mitted himself in favor of either one,
it is rumored that he and the other
members of the committee are dis
posed to award the palm to strenu'
osity.
IT'S said they think the senate will
feel more at home with that one look
ing down on it's deliberations. But
the rub comes on account of the fact
that Col. Roosevelt has himself ex
pressed preference for his reposeful
self.
Before he left the White House he
was shown the work of Mr.. Frazier
and did not hesitate a moment In
mank his choice.
Of course, the committee recognizes
that Col Roosevelt ought to have
something to say about his own bust,
but the question it is trying to decide
is how much. The committee is in
clined to think that the senate ought
to have something to say about the
matter, too.
1t is truly knotty problem, and one
that is likely to cause the library
committee much worry.

IN ORDER to prepare new appoin-
4 tees to the United States diplo-
matte service more thoroughly for
their duties the state department has
established a school il Washington
for the instruction of men who have
successfully passed examinations.
Mr.. Huntington Wilson, assistant
secretary of state, has given partic-

members for the service, and aside
from a more careful and painstaking
examination than heretofore this
practical training has been decided
upon.
Heretofore there has been a So
called instruction period" of 80 days
for successful candidates for diplo-
matte positions by statute, which they
have usually spent in receiving formal
instruction from the department and
"whiling away time"
The new school of instruction will
be under the direction of Mr.. John II.

to Nicaragua, who is now in Washing

ON THEIR METTLE.
Securing Control Of the Air Is in the
Minds of Many Juct at
This Time.

Within a radius of 100 miles of the
city hall Of New York there are some
thing like SO flying machines, some
OF them constructed on scientific lines
by scientific men, and others have
taken shape through wild fancy and
untried theory Go to the Morris park
race track and you may understand
how eagerly men are following this
lure of the air. The Aeronautic Soci-
ETY. of New York has leased the place
for it's aviation grounds and in the
abandoned paddocks and sheds are
housed a dozen finished and partly
finished heavier-than-air machines. In
Overalls and jumpers, night and day,
milliOnaires and mechanics are work
ing side by side as if the very price
of existence were the completion of
their devices. In this group are three
physicians, lawyer, one capitalist
three or four successful engineers, one
automobile dealer and several inven-
tors and scientists, all of whom have
practically abandoned every other in
terest and activity in life aside from
the pursuit of flying. Two of these
machines have already been wrecked
in initial trials, others may meet the
same fate, but that will not disheart-
en- the builders. They will keep on
mending and trying They have
learned at last that men can not imi-
tate a bird in flying. Man must fly
in his ON 4 way and that way is not
an easy one.-Van Norden's Maya.

TO Open new LANDS
allotments in Three Indian Res
ervationS for Settlers.
F1athead in Montana, Occur d'Alene
in Idaho, and Spokane in Washing
ton-Actua Entry Not to Be
Made Until Next Year.

Spokane, Wash.-Uncle Sam is
about to throw open for settlement
something like 100000 acres of choice
land lying in three Indian reserva-
tons in the northwest These lands
are in the Flathead reservation in
Montana, the Occur dAlene in Ida
ho, and the Spokane reservation in
Washington
The time for registering for lands
in these reservations is set for July
10 to August 5, but the actual entry
VIII not be made until April l, 1910.
The Flathead Indian reservation is
located in western Montana, midway
between Kalispell on the north and
Clark Fork river on the south. 1t is
bounded on the east, west and south
by mountain ranges, and on the north
by line ten miles south of the
forty-eighth parallel of latitude. 1t
is 60 miles long and 40 miles wide,
containing 1,425,O00 acres.
The available lands in the Flathead
reservation consist of about 100000
acres of unreserved and non-mineral
lands, classified as first and second
class agricultural and grazing lands.
The land of the Flatheads is a re-
gion of noble mountains, fertile val
leys and splendid forests. The noun
tains are mostly covered with timber.
while the valleys and foothills are gen.
orally prairie land. The Pend d'Oreille
river, one of the headwaters of the
Columbia, flows through the center
CT the reservation, draining the largest
body Of fresh water in the west, Flat
head lake, the southern half of which
lies within the reservation.
The Occur 'dAlene and Spokane In
dian reservations are located in what
is known as the inland empire, term
used to define the territory embraced
within eastern Washington, northeast.

A Good PouIticc.

A good poultice that gives relief in
many kinds of sudden pain is one we'll
known to our grandmothers, but now
little used because few know how to
make it. 1t is made from dried hops.
Put a cupful of the hops in a cup
of hot water and let it boil until the
water is reduced to half cup; then
stir in enough cornmeal to thicken.
Apply very hot between thin muslin
cloths. Poultices when needed at night
a lineup on top. A new pOultice can
be heating in this while the old one
is cooling on the patient. It saves
many trips to the kitchen.

GIVES RIGHT LOOK TO NECK.
Simple Jabot That Adds Just the
Right Touch to the Dainty
Summer Costume.

To be at all original in this day of
numerous neck fashions, the jabot
must be invented on the spot by the
maker thereof. A beautiful little at
fair which was, after all, very usual
bit of plated linen and Irish Gro
chet, was fastened ingeniously with
buttons and buttonholes to the perma-
nent stock collar OF a blouse. This
took away that stuck-on look which
has become an unpleasant part of the
jabot when worn without a rundown
collar
The plated linen was set into
doubled strip of the same material,
two inches long, which was finished
and feather-stitched in the daintiest
manner all the way round. At each
end of it were. two buttonholes, which
fastened over the four lace buttons
on the stock collar. There was left
tiny space in the center for a pref
ty pin, and the trim fastening Of the
jabot made it appear part of the
blouse.

turned and spoke slowly and list

AS soon as the business is settled and

Maude still sat silent, her head
bowed, her eyes fixed on the floor. A
flood of strange emotion was sweep
ing over her, and she suddenly realized
that she was endowed with the power
OF loving, and felt for the first time
the need of being loved. At last, she
rose and placed her hand On his shout

her, and in that supreme moment of
tenderness he knew that his gain had
been greater than his loss For the
heart Of Maude Alvin had awakened to
a sense of better things.

in cold water in which a little mild

they will keep fresh much longer than
usual and will even freshen up won

Also, if one wishes to keep roses in
bud for some time, soft thread
should be tied snugly around the bud,
and when ready for use, even though
several days after picking, the rose
will be found as snug bud as when
first tied up and, moreover will not
shatter as soon as ordinarily.
