Wearing the Beauty Spot"


Report says that the beauty spot"
Is to be a fad of the winter-not, mind
you, the artificial looking bit of black,
court plaster, but the genuine beauty
spot, the tiny brown mole. If you
haven't one in the right spot-and few
people have-paint it there. It is sur
prising what this little bit of makeup,
If artisticaIly done, can do to enhance
the beauty of starry eyes, a faultless
curved cheek or a lovely mouth.
Persian silks and gauzes as well as
plaid silk taffeta are popular for sep
arate blouses. They are worn with
fine broalclOth or dark silk suits.
The newest ideas in trimming are
the fancy for fringe in all widths from
an inch to twelve inches in depth and
lovely new designs and landings In
bead work.
This little dress can be so trimmed
and changed in various ways that

these confederates, says:
Down on the sandbar in the

four rods square, were found the al
most nude bodies of the dead con-
federates. Their heads, besides be-
ing scalped, had been, according to
the Usage custom, severed from their

all collected, some being at a con-

they were all buried
Leading from these dead bodies

Emnlozers, Aid Fund

Lead-After much urging by many
OF the employees of the company, and
consideration of plans, Superintendent
T. J. Grier of the Homestake Mining
company has issued a statement rela-
tive to the proposed Employees Aid
Fund. Under the old plan when un-
ion and non-union men worked to-
gether, the company deducted one dol
lar per month from each mans pay
check for the benefit fund for acct
dents and death and sickness among
employees or members Of their family,
and on this fund the Homestake Hos
pital was conducted. In his state
ment he urges all those having OBJ
iections to the plan to file them before
June 25 and they will be considered.
The mpa offers to furnish once
room, bookkeeping and other clerical
help, do all the work In connection
with the fund and charge nothing TOR
its services, the funds to be applied
solely toward the relief OF employees
along similar lines a. formerly. The
company also offers to contribute a
good sum to the fund monthly. The
plan is to be placed in the hands OF
a board of directors representing the
company and the employees.
Placer Mining In The Hills
Deadwood-Placer mining along
Rapid Creek and the other small
creeks in Pennington county and some
in the southern portion Of the Black
Hills, is to be more than usually a
feature of this summers mining. For
a number of years the summer yield
from placer mining in the Black Hills
has been in the neighborhood OF Sl0,-
600 and from present indications this
figure will be swelled this summer.
The Mystic-Castle Creek Mining &
Hydraulic company, with headquarters
in Denver, has contracted for a dredge
and is putting in a spur from Mystic
to the placer ground. The company Is
amply provided with fund.- and ex-
poets to accomplish considerable hY-
draulic dredging during the summer.
The Superintendent Is Howard Evans
of Denver, a nephew of VIM. p. Evans,
the Denver Tramway magnate and it
is reported that the latter and some
of his friends are financing the
scheme.

be unable to get up into a chair with
out being lifted, she had to sit solemn
ly by the side of her sisters and
brothers and listen to tales of hero

On every Fourth of July, as regu-

and all the members of her family had
been forced to sit patiently and re-

impressively-so she had believed
every word of the declaration of in
dependence.
No hrecrackers, no torpedo. no cele-

old flag was drawn high on it's pole

family were allowed to celebrates In
