Warming the Equs.

There was once an old lady In
Scotland who kept few hens. As
she lived close to the house in which
a church minister lived. he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning. and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs. and the minister's servant;
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
II they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold. so
the servant asked: Are the eggs
fresh today. Janey? They do not
seem warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said: lou. ay. they're quite
fresh. only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning.

FLOWERS TO MATCH THE EYES
Charming When Carried Out With
Due Consideration.

The touch of velvet near the face,
matching the color of the eyes, has
long been popular with the women
who study their own good points, and
this has been easy to manage in these
days of quaint little bows and pipings.
OF late, however, the women of the
smart set have taken to wearing flow
ers which carry out the color, too.
There are pansies that are for the
brown eyed girl, forget-me-nots for
blue eyes and orchids for the maid
with hazel eyes.
The girl with gray eyes is the only
one who has any trouble, for. all she
can find to match her eyes is the hum
BILE dusty miller leaf.
Sometimes she fancies her eyes,
however, are gray blue" or green
gray" so she varies her color scheme
with orchids, mignonette or dull
blue blossom. If she is quite con-
vinced that her eyes are really
"matchless" she contents herself with
the feeling of superiority arising there
from and let's tho jewels of her face
sparkle unrivaled or wears the modest
violet, which would never presume to
resemble the eyes above them.
When natural blooms are not pro-
durable the woman with an eye for
flowers buys artificial ones of the
required tint.
Partisan ingenuity has gone one
step further in this art and provides
for its leaders Of fashion real flowers
dyed with chemical dyes in any de-
sired color or shade.
Hardy flowers, such as camelias,
carnations and all varieties whose
stems are good absorbers. are placed
in the liquid and allowed to stay there
until exactly the right amount of color
has been absorbed.

geously on slim figure, provided that
the rounded lines are preserved and
the whole is well proportioned. There
is no reason in these days why grace,
increased support and comfort to the
figure, extra slimness and consequent
additional smartness should not all be
achieved at the same time by the
wearing Of good though not neces-
sarily expensive up-to-date corsets.
The big. heavy woman, however.
will do well to wear the special belt
corsets which have reached such per-
fectioR this season. These are most
comfortable to wear, besides making
the figure inches smaller; therefore
they will be found invaluable to those
of corpulent or inclined to that build.
The particular feature of this sea-
sons corsets, however, for ordinary
figures is, as our illustrations show,
their straight fit over the hips and
abdomen, but their construction and
style of cutting make them "sit" most
comfortably, while affording extra abb
dominal compression and support.

knees before deep tub Of watef with
a soapy baby in each hand is at dis
advantage in the way of greetings to
a lady who has walked right out Of a
dream, and not word rose to the
troubled surface Of Mr.. Alan's mind.
Miss Cynthie, honey, grab one of
them children, quick!" Miss Selma
Lue called. "Mr. Alan hain't had the
experience to manage two, and If they
slip there will be mighty ruckus
with both Of them in the crying way"
In moment Miss Cynthia was on
her knees by the tub, had rescued the
brother Of Carrots and was holding
him firmly under his arms with both
hands. Not for worlds would she
have attempted to go on with the
rites of the bath; holding up was
fraught with anxiety enough for her
nerves. Across the dripping, bobbing
heads her eyes met the artists, and
there ensued few moments of silent,
breathless mirth that well-nigh inca
pacitated them both and threatened
disaster to the bathers.
"Oh, Miss Selma Lue, come get
him quick-I am going to let him slip
in a minute!" she gasped. Look
out, Carrots is turning over, Mr.. Kent!
Do hold him right side up!"
There now" said Miss Selma Lue.

And, Mr.. Alan, wish you would dry
Miss Cynthie's hands on your apron
before they drip on her dress. They's
heap to do, for it's about to turn
twelve o'clock now, and want things
to be beforehanded."
There are some situations in life
that are marked by charm that par
takes decidedly of terror, and as Mr..
Kent received five slender, white, drip
ping fingers in his own and proceeded
to envelop them in fold of the ging-
ham garment pendent about his waist,
he was possessed by wild desire to
bolt through the back door, but he
realized at the same moment that
nothing so beautiful had ever hap
pened his way before. His composure
was sufficient, barely, to keep him to

q fight. To their surprise the outlaw
offered no resistance, but surrendered
at their command. His trial was
speedy and less than week after his
capture he began serving term In
San Quentin prison.
When Miner was released he left
California as rapidly as possible. The
wilder country of Colorado offered
greater attractions. In this new field
of operation his methods were the
same as in the old.
Miner and two others on November
Z, 1881, reappeared in California after
an absence of twelve years, held up
the stage that ran from Sonora, Tuo-
lumne county, to Milton and secured
$4,000 in cash and gold dust.
Two of the gang were quickly
caught. Miner managed to elude the,
officers for several weeks, but wasl
finally run to earth. The trial was
brief and Justice severe. The three
robbers were sent to San Quentin pris-
Oh. for rs years.
Il was 1901. 20 years later. before
"Old Bill" Miner could again breathe
the air free man. By good behavior
he cut his sentence 1--WE years and the
Authorities believed that when he
walked out of San Quentin his days
as an outlaw were ended. But they
v ere mistaken.
Toward the close of 1908 the author
tiles Of Oregon were startled by the
hold-up Of an express train on the
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany's line at Milepost No. 81, near
Corbett, Oregon. A year later the Ca
madam Pacifc's transcontinnetal ox
press was stopped at Mission juno
tion, British Columbia. by lone ban
dit, who with cold and deliberate
nerve compelled the express messens
ger to open the safe, which contained
close to $4,000.
Less than two years later. on May
10, 1906, at eleven o'clock In the night.
Miner and two pals robbed the trans
continental express of the Canadian
Pacific railway near Durrer. B. G.
For this crime he was sent for life
to the penitentiary at New Westmin-
ster and at once began planning an
escape. With two companions, who
were confined in the brickyard of the
prison. he tunneled to freedom and
nothing more was heard OF him until
last February, when one night a train
or the Southern railroad was held ur
and the Pinkertons at once concluded
from the nature of the Job that OLD
Bill Miner was at work again. They
were not mistaken and few dayp

40 YEARS A BANDIT
Old Bill Miner, Stage Coach and
Train Robber.
Has Left Criminal Trail Over the
West-Now Faces Long Term
In Prison for Georgia
HoId-up.

Gainesville, Ga.-Far back in the
'60s drivers of stage coaches making
trips back and forth across the state
of California began to come in from
their lone-mountain journeys with
cash boxes rifled of their contents,
sometimes a horse shot, and in every
case with the same story. A lonely
spot on the road, sometimes in the
daytime, sometimes at night, single
highwayman and the magic words.
Hands up!" The tale never varied.
For want of better name the lone
highwayman came to be known, far
and wide, as California Billy"
The exploits of California Billy"
continued for several years. All ef-
forts at his capture were in vain.
Many posses hunted the lone outlaw
tempted by offers of generous re-
wards. But he seemed to bear o
charmed life.
1t was not until 1869 that he was
caught. The driver of stage that
ran in from the hills back of Sacra-
mento jumped from his seat in front
of the Office early one morning in the
spring of that year and breathlessly
told how he had been held up but q
few hours before. The strong box Of
the stage had been heavy with gold
dust sent in by miners. Never before
had California Bill' dared to attack
o coach so close to a town.
In 20 minutes from the time the
driver told his story heavily armed
posse was riding hard back over the
trail. 1t was not difficult to pick up
traces of the bandit. Before nightfalf
his hunters were close upon him and
as the sun sank behind the hills they
surrounded him. The posse expected
