In Alabama.


A story is told of an old negro in Ala
bana who was the owner Of a very small.
ancient and moth-eaten mule, but Of
which his owner was inordinately proud.
One day Uncle Nose was observed leading
this animal along the road with two large
sacks of corn upon its back.
Say, Uncle Nose, that Is too heavy a
load for that little runt,' some one re-
marked.
Uncle Nose bristled with indignation.
sHarcome 70, call dis hayh mule 4,
runt?" he demanded. Yo' dom know how
much dis mule kin tote! Why. dis m,,la
could tote dis whole world"
"Oh, say, Uncle Nose, I thought yo,
were q church member. The whole
world?"
.'Yassar... De whole world.p
WELL YOU will have to prove that TO

Uncle Nose promptly removed the corn
from the mules back. grabbed him BY two
legs, and threw him on his back between
two posts. lie then tied a ror,e from ono
post to the other the rope cros.,inr the an.
imals body. The mule brayed and waved
his feet in the air.

that five generations now figure in the

Such events are so far removed from
that it is easy TO class them as OF rec
ord sort, but when ones tries to pick
and choose from the years cleaning
the two or three which may fairly be
called queerest or oldest of all 1t is
difficult. Possibly the following trio
may fill the bill to reasonable satisfac-
ton.
L. NJ. Raynor, of Riverhead, Long
Island, way pack in 1903 lost q watch
and chain in the woods near his cot
tage, nor did several searches bring
them to light. Last June, passing
through the grove he suddenly saw
the watch dangling from a stout twis
at about the level of his eyes. He be-
neves he must have bent the branch
down when passing there IS months
ago, and that it picked his pocket for
him.
A Detroit woman with a new hat in
mind, drew $40 from q bank, and q
gust of wind drew it from her and
sent it flying across the street. A
small boy, driving a goat CHANGED by
and Nancy calmly and expeditiously
ate the $40. The lady charged the small
boy with theft \ policeman was
called IN, and tn youth proved his
innocence by killing the goat. Then
the treasury department issued the
lady a new bill. No one has yet issued
the boy a new goat.
In October there were married in
the national capital a couple who sep
arated within an hour of their nuptials,
never intending to meet again. Miss
Eugene Sauer of Vienna found her
self heiress to a dead uncle's fortune,
but it was stipulated in the Will that
she should become a wife within As
hours OF the announcement OF her leg
acy in order actually to obtain possess
sion of il. She advertised for a high
" temporary husband, offering $500 for
his brief services at the altar. Seven
ty-elght offered to accommodate; q
likely fellow was chosen; the service
was read: chilly good-bys We're ex-
changed (and two new $100 bils} and
the bride started for the steamer
which was to take her TO Austria.
If there is here obvious material for
q new novel under the well worn title

too. it must appear that there is much
raw material for romance as we'll as

FASHION NOTES.


There is a decided vogue for all an
tique laces.
Scarfs, muffs and sashes Of the new
Janus cloth are stunning.
Hats covered with suede or un-
dressed kid are new and pretty.
Large brimmed hats covered with
gold gauze and lace are striking.
Tailless ermine is much in demand
on handsome own or hats Of velvet.
Stables and all the brown toned furs
are especially in evidence his year.
Black chiffon lined with white and
trimmed with broad bands Of ermine
without tails forms a most fashion
able scarf.
The most striking feature Of the
present styles is the vogue for vivid.

Many black velvet cloche shaped
hats have facings Of white satin and
bands of ermine.

FALL FASHION FADS
FOR SPOKANE WOMEN

1t would be hard to pick out any
single characteristic of the coming
seasons fashions as that belonging
pre-eminently to the fall of 1910.
One season borrows from another
and it is hard to draw any hard,
fast lines between them, as far as
fashions are concerned.
Everything this season will be
touched with the figures of the ORR

dresses, waists, hats and even in
the gents ties. The very newest
material of novelty suitings now
being shown In Spokane shop win

These dress patterns may be had
for from $1.15 to SITS per yard.
Perhaps. the most sensational
feature of the fall styles, is the
hObble skirt. Gay Paris may lead
the styles, but the Spokane women
are certainly not slow in following
the fashions Of their foreign sis

gowns have already been seen on
the streets here.

Dear Miss Grey-Although love
my sweetheart very much and
would like to marry him, fear to
do so-as he is a Catholic and l am
q Protestant. What do you advise?
X. Y. 2.
A.-This Is question which
comes to me often and I can only
repeat my answer-talk 1t over
with his priest and your pastor and
be guided by their advice.
Dear Miss Grey-What is your
opinion of a girl who will allow a
married man to spend the day alone
with her in her rooms? Is there
any excuse, even though she talks
of soul mate" and affinity?
And what Is your opinion of the
man. whose wife to all appearances
is doing her best to make his home
a happy one?
What could the wife do, knowing
the circumstances?
CONSTANT READER.
Al decline to give my opinion
of the young lady you ask about.
What | think of her cannot change
her. What YOU think of her can
not change her. Thinking things
of folks doesn't do you any good
and certainly doesn't do them any
damage. We spend too much time
working up opinions about people.
| have the same answer to give
about the man. But the question
about the wife is different matter.
You ask what she can do. She won
him once; she knows how to do 1t.
She was independent then and kept
him guessing. A woman can always
do that the second time II she
braces up and tries. What won a
IMAM once will win him again. I'm
E6ure.
