FATHER FELT BRAVE;
BUT NOT WITH MANIA ABOUT

A little Lee streeter was inclined to
be cowardly. Her father found that
sympathy only increased this unfortu-
nate tendency.
He decided to have a serious talk
with his little daughter ON the sub
ject of her foolish fears.

the lecture. when you see "a COW,

and looked into her parents eyes,

New York, November 16.-Butterfy

pretty insect, in all its exquisite and
radiant beauty, was first introduced,
that was months ago. There was a
positive obsession for insects then.
Women wore beetles wings embroid-

AWFUL VENGEANCE
 OF THE BLACK HAND
He Was No Match for Al Kaufman,
 the Californian.

Philadelphia, Spet. 5.-Al Kaufman. the heavyweight California, tonight got a popular decision over Bill Lang, the Australian heavyweight. only in one round. the second. did the Aus tralian show to advantage.
 From the second round to the close of the fight Kaufman had all the advantage.
 The fight as a spectacular eXhibi- tion was disappointing. Time and again Lang would lead with his left, then rush to a elinch, it requiring the assistance of the referee to force the men apart In the fifth round Kauf- man drove Lang to the ropes and had him in evident distress, but the Aus tralian grabbed his heavy opponent and hung on long enough to save himself from a probable knockout.
 In the sixth Kaufman rushed his man all around the ring, but was un- able to land a knockout blow. Kauf- man left the ring without a blow. while Lang's face was swollen and there was a cut between his eyes where Kaufman had sent hard right. The attendance was between eight and ten thousand among them many women.

failure of congress to enact a law providing for the compensation of la borers when injured or for their fam flies in the event of death.
 When Roosevelt reached that part of his speech in which he advocated a workingman's compensation act, he turned to Judge Amidon and said:
 "I cannot help saving just now one word about how delighted I have been this afternoon to hear utterances from a federal-judge who looks ahead. from a federal judge who not only stands for honesty and righteousness in the conventional forms in which judges have been accustomed to see them for generations, but who stands fac ing the changing conditions and real iZing that the constitution of the United States must be administered. if it is administered wisely, by men who know the needs of the wage earn CTS just as they sympathize with and understand the needs of all other American citizens"

 Governor Brooks read the resolu- tions adopted by the governors con- ference at Salt Lake City, and which, he said express their conservation views favoring state control
 Governor Hay pleaded for state control. He declared that there was as much reason for Secretary Wilson to come out to Washington and har- vest their crops as to expect the federal government to attend to the western states natural resources. If the states are not able to control corporations" said he, they might as well go back to territorial days and be done with it.
 President Taft in his address this forenoon expressed our ideas better than can. Also l might remark that the states which are strongest for national control are those states whose resources have been disposed of long ago"
 Addresses of welcome by Governor Eberhardt and Mayor Keller, and the invocation by Archbishop Ireland marked the beginning of the congress.
 TOmOrrow's program is headed by an address by Theodore Roosevelt and includes addresses by Francis J. Heney, of California; President FoW- Ter of the National Irrigation con gress and former Governor Pardee, of California.

HE CLOCK STOPPED
 EXPLOSION FAILED
Otherwise Railroad Yards At East Peoria Would Have Been Wrecked

Peoria, Ills, Sept. 5.-The discovery today of a two gallon can of nitro glycerinc with a fuse attached, the cap adjusted and battery beside it with a small clock to time the eX plosion, hidden among the steel gir- dcrs of the new bridge in the East Peoria yards, gave the first clue to the identity of the men who blew up the A. Lucas & Sons plant and a lot of structural steel in the East Peoria yards on Sunday evening.
 This find was made by John ScurTy, a former employe of the Peoria and Pckin Union railroad.
 The shot evidently failed to go off because of some defect in the clock set to explode at 10:30 D. m. when the other three shots were fired. The can bore no labels. The shot unquestionably would have wrecked the entire railroad yard.

WHITE MOST LIKED
THE POPULAR COLOR FOR THE
LIVING ROOMS.
No Other Shade as Effective In I'M
parting That Dainty Look SO De-
sirabie-Fatches Of Vivid
c9lor Also Used.

White rooms grow more and more
In public favor. In referring to
them Il must be remembered that the
white room is not actually new; 1t Is
a revival Of a distant period. White
prevails in most OF the fine old houses
in London, and one need but recall
some of the gems from the date OF the
brothers Adam TO wonder why the
restful, serene, and dignifed white
room was ever abandoned in favor OF
a mass OF scrolls and indefinite indi-
cations of flowers. plants. animals
and other horrors. Walls OF faint he
liotrope, q carpet OF deep purple. and
q couch and chairs covered in Parma
linen, constitute a peaceful room that
supplies a good background.
More and more do we make our
rooms background for fine pictures,
rare tapestries, pieces of silver. cop
per, brass. or china. and for the wom-
en- who inhabit them. Innate In every
one OF us there is love of color. and
a few educated decorators urge its
free use. They argue that dash OF
scarlet, glowing rose du Barri, radiant
blue. and so on have good effect on
our spirits. Panels of linen are some
times introduced. fixed on with bands
Of metal gallon. In such cases cur
tains of the same material in a con-
trast, would be similarly outlined
with metal, which leads to weight
them.
Not only In our houses is this key
note of simplicity demanded. Fash
ion designers are dependent on line,
and the same inclination prevails to
make quiet and unobtrusive back
ground serve to throw out some mass
ing of bold color. Taste expresses it,
self in the fabrics themselves, in the
introduction of fine material. Ex-
auisite designing characterizes even
the braids, tassels, and other little
fastenings. that serve to enhance the
good effect of our garments.
The fact that pictures from the
studies of artists do not sell so read
lily as they used to DO Is often de-
plored. II might be suggested that
while the few can hope to possess
masterpieces, the more widely diff
fused tendency to select for personal
use and for household purposes the
work of educated and skilled crafts
men opens up wide field for people
OF artistic taste.
