The Newer Way.

Many ideas in regard to women
have entirely changed. and among
the better and wiser changes is that
old thought that the women who
were given to good works must needs
be dowdy. 1t is undeniable that
good" women used to wear dowdi-
ness as sort of hall mark of vir-
tue. AS matter of fact, dowdiness
is merely mark of bad taste and a
sign of some lack in the mind Won

dom that chooses pretty rather than
ugly clothing, and those who do not
make the best of their appearance are
losing a golden opportunity of giving

HORSE BEATS A Train.
Runs Ahead of Express Down Center
Of Track for Seven MIles-Leaps
to Safety

Portland, Ore.-As the Spokane ex-
press was outbound few days ago.
bay horse about 16 hands high and
a most beautiful specimen. according
to those who saw him, took fright at
the approaching train while feeding
in pasture alongside the track about
one mile this side of Fairview and.
starting down the track ran for seven
miles at almost top speed down the
center of the track in front of the
train.
In that seven miles the horse
Jumped 16 cattle guards and ran at a
good rate across common railroad
bridge about 60 feet in length without
a slip He was only scared off the
track when the train entered Trout
dale and when, at the call of the
whistle of the locomotive, the station
agent there and employees of a nearby
livery stable cornered and caught him
with lariat
Most remarkable of the whole thing
was the speed which the horse kept
up in the distance. The only time
that the train slowed down percepti-
bly, was at the bridge just outside OF
Troutdale. where It was feared the
horse might slip through the ties and
be caught He skipped across The
ties like the most experienced tie
walker.

Most of the men didn't know how
to eat the Injuries. One man said
he had heard you could contract
ptomaine poisoning by eating ice
cream and another said he had sworn
off several years ago because his mar
riage grew out of meeting in an ice
cream studio; but the rest of the 81
prisoners took chance and went at

was ordered.
In the evening there was an In

crush was so great that line was
formed, and those who had received
their sentences first headed the
