Butter Tested

Butter makers around here have
been making butter containlng about
20 per cent of moisture and salt
Country butter is nov being bought
IN The market here for testing purposes
by government officials. Butter con-
tanning more than 16 per cent of
moisture and salt is considered adult
Grated by the government. Butter
makers should get the rules from the
Secretary CT Agriculture.
This aduiterated butter is subject to
the 10 cents pound tax in the hands
OF the maker or by the merchant who
exposes ii for sale. 1t is just as well
the merchants to be on their guard
and refuse all butter not labeled with
the proper percentage of moisture and
salt.-Hancock Star

Indians EatDOg in Garden.

dog was cut up and eaten sun
day in iadison Square Garden. 1t
was the feast of Buffalo Bills redskins
on the occasion Of the coronation of
Little Lone Bear, son of Chief Samuel
Lone Bear, who is said to be the hand
soonest Indian in the show. While
tie copper-colored men in full war
paint went through the war dance a
dog was sliced up and the pieces plac-
ed in huge vat of boiling water So t
in the middle of the arena. Then the
Indians went through the coronation
dar ee.
The guest Of honor, Little Lone
Bear, sat beside Iron Tail and watched
his father and the other chiefs smoke
the peace pipe Then the dancers
clrcled around the csuldron and pick
ed morsels OF Boiled dog from it, eating
With apparent relish.
There were more than 100 white
guests present at the ceremony, and
when everything was ready Little
Lone Bear was led before the other
war chiefs by his father. On the
ground was an eagle-feathered war
bonnet, which had recently been
made by the young hoy's mother.
Little Lone Bear was crowned as the
tribesmen sang war songs. The boy
Frustrated himself before the older In =
dams and WAS told what would be his
sign. Thea Little Lone Bear arose
the youngest Sioux chief. He is en-
titled to have say in the meetings Of
his brother chiefs and his power will
be increased when he returns to Pine
Ridge reservation in the winter.

Fads and Fancles.

Chameleon is the fitting name given
to the o-toned tsfietas, which are so
popular this spring.
Side closings OF waits and coats are
a pronounced feature, not only of
gowns but Of suits.
Smart little coats Of plains celors are
worn with checked, striped or change
able wolfe or silk.
Bar pins for the neck are to be worn
a great deal. Larger ones are seen 9
the season advances.
Lingerie ribbons this season are
wider than usual, SO that when tied
the bow is of considerable size.
AS in foulards and other silk mate
rails, the polka dot is favorlte in the
mixture of silk and cotton.
Belts are in many cases in direct
contrast to the coat aud also contrast
ed with waist and skirt in gowns.
Il is better instead of lining a shirt
waist of soft silk, to wear under it a
separate lining OF thin lawn.
Canopy parasols look much as
though two square parasols had been
placed cata-cerner, enc on top of the
other.
La the linen tailor-mades the EN-
broldery that looks like rat-tai braid
Is a great deal used and effectively.
More than ever is soft wrap of
cbarmeuse or chiffon seen as a grace
fuJ accompaniment of the afternoon or
evening gown.
Foulards have attained wonderful
degree of popularity, and this, 1t
seems, without je,pardizing their fash
ionable status.

A famous claim against the govern
ment in which the heirs of George
Washington would receive large
sum may be settled next week by the
action of the house com nittee on phi
vate land claims, which is expected
to report favorably TO the house q bill
to that affect There are several heirs
of Washington who confined in
the claim pending through several
congresses.
George Washington was entitled
under the Virginia law, to some %, 900
acres OF land as recompense for his
military services, but he declined to
accept it, and took instead warrants
for 1850 acres OF land in Ohio This
tract was located in the northwestern
reserve in what was known as tho
Virginia military lands" 1t was
claimed that Washington paid the
taxes on the land up until the time of
his death and that his administra tors
paid it until 1907. If the expected
action is taken by the committee and
approved by congress the government
will allow the heirs $500 900 in gold in
lieu of the land. None of the heirs are
wealthy and some of them are poor, it
is stated.
Lawrence Washington, a descend
ent of family of the first President,
made the principal argument before
the committee in favor Of the claim
