Misses, Skirt.

Young girls are wearing skirts that
give long, slender lines, just as are
their elders. and this model is one of
the most graceful and the smartest
yet to have appeared. 1t can be made
with the high waist line, in prinoesse
style as illustrated, or be cut off and
finished with belt as liked. In eth
er case it fits with perfect smooth
ness over the hips and is just wide
enough about the bottom to allow
comfortable walking. In the illustra-
ton serge is finished with stitching
in tailor style.
The skirt is made seven cores and
the fulness at the back is laid in in
verified pleats. When the princesse
style is used the skirt is under-faced
at the upper edge. When it is cut
off at the waist line it is Joined to the
belt.

Fish and Game Commissioner T.
K. Holland will appoint a woman

State where she will have full oppor.
unity to give an illustration OF her
abilities. Commissioner Holland pre-.
fers to get one in Routt county or
rio Blanco-some place where she
win have an, opportunity to guard
deer and other big game and prove
once for all the value of a woman
game warden. Many Of the women
in the deer sections know the move
ments and habits of game as well as
the men and are as good marksmen,
if that were necessary. A woman
with influence who would take the
proper interest IN the preservation
Of game and obedience to the Laws
would have much more power than
half dozen wardens, as men in this
position are often hated by the
ranchers.
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful Commissioner Holland will
duplicate it, and ether States Will
doubtless follow the example. For
instance, women game wardens
around large cities like Denver who
take an interest in birds would serve
much more conscientiously than
man and would prevent the slaughter
of many birds.-Denver Republican.

Bessemer, February l0.-(Special.)- Deputy Sheriff John Smithson had an ex- perience this morning that he does not care to go through with again, when he was compelled to stand and let a negro wanted for assault with intent to murder back away from him. Smithson went to Will Murphy house at an early hour to serve the warrant and as the negro was slow coming to tpe door the deputy kicked the door several times, when the negro rushed out from the rear door. Smithson ran around the house and as he caught sight of Murphy he ordered him to halt, but Murphy leveled a Winches- ter and dared the officer to approach. Smithson had his gun in his hand, but the negro had the drop, and the officer had to stand while the negro backed away and made his escape. Smithson was much worried over the escape of the man, but under the circumstances he says he could do nothing else. A negro woman told Smithson that if he went into the house Murphy would kill him, but the officer did not believe her Dogs were secured but up to this evening Murphy is still at large.
