Suede and Steel.

A gray suede bag shaped like a
Aeur-de-lis is most attractive in its
unique cut Its mounting is steel,
plain in design, which does not inter
fere with the outlines Of the bag, and
the beading differs from that usually
seen in that 1t is done with large in
stead Of small beads.
They measure about an eighth of an
inch in diameter and are Of fine cut
steel. They are used to bring out q
pattern on the bag and also to outline
its edges, and at the same time to sew
the two sides Of the bag together.

Garry Few Toilet Articles,

Women frequently carry many more
toilet accessories than are needed. It
is perfectly fair to assume that the
hostess will have dressing table
equipped, or that she will possess
enough pieces for the wants Of her
guests. Every woman wishes to carry
her own brush and comb, but hand
mirror is heavy, and 1t is expected
that one VIII be provided.

Thirty Miles Per Hour RabbIt,s Ii

Thirty Miles Per Hour Rabbits Limit.
The crew laying out the trail for
the Glidden tour In June discovered
a new sport. A repeating shotgun Is
carried In the tonneau of the car and
as jackrabbits pop out and sprint
along the roadside Dai H. Lewis, the
American Automobile association
scout, and his companions take turns
in shooting at the long-eared game.
Rabbits are a pest in Kansas, but
jack travels at the rate of 30 miles
an hour and to hit one from a car 60
ing at the same rate is some trick, so
the pathtinders will not thin the ranks
to any great extent. They have sew
eral scalps to their credit, however,
and it makes the miles spin faster to
be on the lookout for game.
Lewis is the authority for the speed
of a Jack rabbit. He says he has
tested them out with a car on prairie
roads, and that after the 30 miles
pace is reached they begin to lag.

is q violation of the constitution of
the United States, as they are not ad-

charged against them. that the al

of limitations as it was committed in

.LARK|N ARRESTED
At KANSAS CITY
Texas Had Offered Reward for His
Arrest and He is Turned over to
Officers From That State.

Following the receipt, by mum
Der Of the creditors, of letter from
y. f. Larkin, formerly in the real es-
tate business here, and who departed
between days leaving several vinitans
holding the sack, came the news this
morning of the arrest Of Mr. Larkin,
in Kansas City. The arrest was made
on two complaints, one by some of
his creditors in Texas and the other
by Vinitans
AS reward had Deen offered in
Texas for his arrest the Kansas City
police this morning turned Larkin
over to the Texas officers who will
take him back to the Lone Star state
as soon as requisition can be secured
from Gov. Hadley.
Larkin came to this city several
months ago and opened land sales
loffice, known as the Bankus-Larkin
Land company. He seemed to be a
lpretty nice kind Of fellow and soon
got in good with the business men ot
the city While he was getting II
good the business men were getting il
bad, for when Larkin departed II IS
said he left debts amounting to several
hundred dollars One Of the deals IN
which he figured was the one with
A. B. Berger. in which he attempted
to secure several hundred dollars for
the release of forged mortgage on
property belonging to Berger. Berger,
it seems, had borrowed $400 from Lar.
kin and gave a mortgage to secure the
loan. After Larkin left here he wrote
Berger that he would release the
mortgage for $500, ana requested that
the amount be sent to bank in Kan
sas City and that upon delivery he
would release the mortgage. The
money was sent and the money turned
over to Larkin for mortgages, which
later proved to have been only copies
VI Tic UIlEiudi. His AuhttSA -
Strengthened out later by the Kansas
City bank and Larkins father.
Early this week several Vinitans
received letters from Larlxin stating
that he would pay up everything he
owed on October ]. The letter stated
that he had been praeticing the frauds
on the terms of wager and that on
October he would have won the
wager According to the alleged
wager Larkin was to swindle as many
people as he could and stay out of the
reach of the law until October of this
year. The arrest at Kansas City will
probably cause reversal of Mr.. Lar
kin's statements that he had won the
wager.
The officers here do not believe they
will get chance at Larkin, as they
believe the charges In Texas will
prove SO serious that that state will
have a claim on him for several
months to come.
