A BIT EXCITED.

A story about Robert Louis Steven son not generally known is told by Mrs. Stevenson's grandson, Austin Strong. Stevenson liked to sit propped up in bed to watch him at play in the next room. And often it happened that the bigger boy of the two would make suggestions for the make believe games and insist that they be carried on. too. one day Austin had arranged some chairs in d row, playing that they were ships, and he, standing on the front. was the captain. For a long time he proudly walked the deck of his vessel, encountered pirates and weathered all kinds of storms until he felt the floor positively heave under his feet. MT. Stevenson looked on in perfect silence, but complete absorp- tion, no doubt playing the whole thing much the harder of the two. Finally Austin got tired of his vessel, climbed off his chair to some object which had attracted his interest This was too much for his uncle. still deep in the game, MT. Stevenson rose in his sick bed and shouted excitedly at the re- calcitrant sea captain: swim, damn you; swimI"-St Paul Dispatch.

 In this connection it is well to an nounce that the club has a civics committee and last nights topics were along the line of that committees work which includes such things as creating a public sentiment that will help materially in general town inn provements such as keeping vacant lots cleared of weeds and debris. and other matters that have to be regu- lated by sentiment rather than by law The chairman of that committee is Dr. Roy Thomas and the other members are Frank De Souza, Rev.

About thirty mem bers were present and the special committee on membership reported a growing interest in the work of the club. This committee which has fif- teen members and of which J. F. Cleaveland is chairman, plans to hold meeting at the Ford hotel next Monday at noon at which the work of the committee will be discussed and plans be laid for increasing the membership.
 Last nights dinner was a good one both in respect of the menu and what came after it. President l.. H.

.TERsE STATEMENT
 BY GOVERNOR SLOAN REPLYING TO QUESTIONS HE OUTLINES BRIEFLY HIS VIEWS ON CONSERVATION. Believes In Practical Co-operation Between Federal and State
 Governments.

The annual convention of the Amer
 ican Mining congress will be held in
 Los Angeles, beginning September 26.
 It has been arranged to have present
 during the congress, all the western
 governors who have no conflicting
 engagements, and it is hoped that all will attend Governor Sloan in an swer to d query said that he expected
 to be present if nothing unforeseen oc- CUTS. It is understood that the min
 ing congress proposes to take an ac-
 tive interest in the greater questions of conservation that are engaging the attention of many national bodies at this time. Some weeks ago there was a conference of a number of the western governors in Salt Lake City and the opinions of some of them have been quoted quite freely since then.
 In view of Governor Sloan's atten-
 dance at the Los Angeles convention he was interrogated somewhat re- specting his opinions concerning con- servation. He was asked: Would your attitude on conservation in the event it comes up in Los Angeles, be in keeping with that of Governor Hay of Washington and other western governors?"
 Governor Sloan's reply was as fol- lows:
 'I have had little or no opportunity to become familiar with the views of Governor Hay and others who met in Salt Lake City, prior to the meet ing of the conservation congress in St Paul I am not believer in the extreme view that the national government should alone control the forests. water power or mineral re- sources. nor on the other hand, do l believe these should be left for the
 states to conserve under local laws. I believe that wise and effective con servation can only be brought about by cooperation between the national
 and the various state governments
 in some practical plan, by which
 waste and monopoly may be pre- vented and which will at the same time admit of the proper development
 and utilization of all our natural re-
 sources. While I am willing to con cede to the national government the
 largest measure of control which it
 may take and exercise under the
 constitution, over our forests and water power particularly. I yet be-
 lieve that whatever profit there may be realized from such control and
 management, should go to the states
 in which these natural resources eX-
 ist, and that our natural resources
 in our western states and territories
 ought not to be exploited by the fed
 eral government as a means of na- tional revenue, but solely in the in
 terests of conservation. I shall ex-
 press some such view if opportunity
 is given me in the event I attend
 the convention

THE STIRRED SKIRTS.

The skirt which is shirred or corded is being worn extensively as a dancing and evening gown. The cord runs straight around the skirt just above the knees Sometimes the skirt is shirred on one cord. It is not the old fashioned skirt which had Tow after row of shirring at the top. The pres ent shirring does not add much full ness to the garment, just enough to insure a graceful hang. The shirred skirt should be made of sheer material and draped over satin or silk.
