Ever since Walter Johnson of the
Washington Americans broke into fast
company opposing players have
marveied at his great speed.
With an easy motion Johnson seems
able to send the sphere through space
at such a terrific pace that even
though the batsman knows that the
ball will come on a straight course,

Johnson gets his speed by reason Of
his wonderful reach. He mas longer
arms than any other pitcher in the
country and pitches with the least eff

they measure TIN inches from finger
tips to finger tips. This is "a inches

Capturing the Huge Snake.

coils Of monster even larger than
they had been led to expect.
Stirred to wrath by the disturbance,
the snake began to make a great noise

to leave the entrance, O'dell threw a
gunny sack over its head and clasped
his arms around its throat Then one
OF the wierdest struggles ever record
ed in Montana history was on. Back
and forth over the narrow ledge the
huge snake writhed and twisted, final
ly tightening itself about O'Dell's hips
until he was lifted from the ground
Vaught seized the snake by the tail
and forced II TO release its hold upon

upon the yielding floor of the little ra-
vine for almost three-quarters of an
hour before the two men succeeded
in firing the snake, when they bundled
II into a sack and took II alive, strug-

A sotleelli Headdress.

There is a headdress affected by
women Of regular features and small.
thin faces. This is a kind of Italian
coiffure founded probably in the Bot
ticell scheme. All the hair on the
crown of the head is rolled up to form
a chiguon that stands out a long way
from the head in a direct line with the
nose, says Hairdressers' Journal. II
the hair Is not sufficient to make n
firm, thick chignon. a "crepon" is
wound I'm II or a thick pad OF some
sort The arrangement must be very
neat. the hair being brushed upward
and standing out well The top and
sides are treated separately with a
parting. either on top or at the side,
while the hair is, besides, lightly puffed
out over the ears. Those who like
the wave apply the iron to this part.
so as to produce deep, soft undula-
tions. which bring an effect OF light

MATCHED COSTUME STYLISH
One Color Effect Attractive, but II Is
Not Always Within Reach
Of All.

In the latest modes there are only
two colors. a background shade and
an ornamental one, and the latter Is
matched through the whole costume.
Let us suppose. for instance, that
the costume is green and gray. II is a
three-plece suit, gray. with collars and
cuffs of green. a green hem reaching
almost TO the knees, and a green silk
frill and Pierrot collar and cuffs on the
low-necked and short-sleevel blouse.
The hat is gray straw, with plumes
or Alsatian bow of green; the veil
gray, with green figures, perhaps in
the new comet design. The gloves are
gray with green stitching.
Even the silk underskirt carries out
this idea. It is changeable green and
gray or gray with a green rufiie. Shoes
and stockings are both green. or per
haps the shoes are gray suede oxfords.
with green silk lacing.
The parasol is gray with deep hem
border OF green satin, always in the
same shade, 50 that there is no ugly
divergence in color. And all the jew
elry accessories, the belt buckle, the
hatpins, the chain around the neck,
are green artificial emeralds or jade.
Perhaps the metal setting is OF old
silver jewels.
And the same idea is applied 20 all
other colors. II is wonderfully effec-
tive, though perhaps a bit OF the
reach of the woman who one suit
