Captain Blair himself told Passenger
Agent Ratterman that he was not GER
tain about the matter and would not
be for several months, until the re-
pairs which are being made on the
boat are finished.
The Morning Star is now over two

of Captain Blair is to literally cut the
boat in twain and make her fifty feet
longer.
He states that he might run her as
packet boat to carry freight and
passengers, but of course the prob.
ability is that she will run as an ex-

Blair's wife herself does not know

The band of Gypsies who have TAX
en- up their residence on the outskirts
of the city during the past several
days are a bold brazen lot, evidenced
by their actions this morning, when
they entered the grocery store of
Louis Sells at Fourteenth and Reid
streets in West Keokulz and took from
the cash register fifty cents while
lettering about the store pretending
to purchase groceries.
After taking the money from the
cash register, the spokesman of the
tribe wanted to pay Mrs. Sells who
was selling the consignment, twenty
five cents out of the half dollar for one
OF the articles purchased. After pro-
curing what groceries and necessities
they wanted, the gypsies left the
store without paying for what they
had taken which in all amounted to
about dollar and a quarter.
The police were al once notified and
Officer Fuqua went to the place on
the Main street extension where the
dark people were camping and made
them come over with the amount OF
money due the West end grocery.
Early this morning Deputy Marshal
John Pierson went to the gypsy camp
and ordered them to move which they
promised to do after they had repair
ed tumble down wagon which does
service as house on wheels.

and morals through the medium of
the woman's page or column.
Some of us have wanted to pass
on some of this perfectly good advice
to the men, but there seemed to be
no good way provided. Now the De-
lineator has started a page for men.
As yet the undertaking is only in
its infancy.
It's impossible to tell what the fu-
ture will bring forth, but this much
is certain. It's a project of vast pos
sibilities.
For some strange reason 1t has al
ways gone without saying that
women needed to be told how to act.
what was manners and what wasn't
how TO dress, what to eat and what
to give their families to eat
Now the men are told few
things.
II the women can be told so un-
blushingly how to remove black heads
from the face and oil from the hair,
why. pray tell, cannot the men?
Surely not because they are not in
Just as much need of such Intimate
advice.
If the Delineator is wise IL will
throw that page open to all intereste'
| friends. Then perhaps the men
might learn thing or two.
They might be urged, for instance,
TO pay their dinner calls, and to let
their hostesses know more than five
minutes before the event when they
can't accept their invitations.
That's only beginning of the
things that special usage and good
form that would be put on the mans
page.
Someone would he sure to tell them
that il isn't smart to bully walter

seem TO think so, and how a girl does
