OUTFIT FOR RAINY DAYS
<nickerbockers, High Shoes, Fitted Muffiers and Knitted Waistcoats
 Are Best for Bad Weather

A pair of knickerbockers to save her petticoats is one of the most sensible Investments of the girl who goes out in the rain. They are worn with warm woolen stockings orr high leg gings and are much better than drag gled skirts.
 Rubbers and high shoes or, at any rate, high and preferably stormproof shoes attend each rainy-day walk of the well-dressed girl who does not trife with low shoes and gaiters in the wet
 Instead of furs-the fitted muff1ers of knitted silk and wool or cotton, clasping snugly around the throat, are suitable for wet days. They are wash able, so that white ones can always be kept snowy.
 Knitted waistcoats are almost ne cessity, to be slipped on under the thin ralncoat.
 A new rainy-day hat has appeared that should prove useful to the girl whose hair hangs limp and straight in the rain It is a small and trim toque, trimmed with wings, and fitted in front with bewitching little false curly bang" One must, of course, purchase a hat banged" to match ones hair The bangs are put on sparsely enough to suggest nature and not the hair em. porium.

FOR SAFETY ON RAILROADS
Commerce Commission Orders Unl- form Equipment at Enormous
 Cost to the Lines.

Uniform standards for the equip ment of railroad cars and locomotives with safety appliances were pre- scribed by an order issued by the interstate commerce commission. The order Is the result of long continued agitation for uniformity. All the ap- pliances covered by the commissions order are now used, except that two additional ladders are required on certain classes of cars and two addi- tional sill steps are required on all.
 Although the railroads contended that the changes would immediately cost approximately $50,000,O00, the commission Is of opinion that "com- pliance with the order will not cause any undue expense to the railroads, as the order applies entirely to new equipment and is immediately effec- tive only with respect to new cars" Sufficient time will be granted to the railroads properly to equip their old cars with the new standards.
 Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the commission, who has devoted nearly third of a century to the work of obtaining these standards and to securing the enactment by congress of safety appliance and em- ployers' liability legislation, collapsed from an attack of heart disease on the day the agreement as to the standards was reached. His condition is regarded as serious, and he may never be able to resume active work.

fact, there are arv number of ways of varying the design, the only restric- ton being that any figured goods must show a small and childish pattern. For a practical dress, too, the belt would be of the goods and the under sleeves of plain lawn or a thin silk.
 In the way of coats, I would advise the mother who likes the doll quality for her baby daughters dress to get pale blue or pink linen or pique for her baby's summer coat and trim 1t with coarse white lace. These deli cately-tinted wraps, made in the usual sack shape, though with shawl revers that come to the waist. will be very smart, and for the hat the coat material may be used with the head piece made after the style of the usual little wash hats with puffed crowns buttoned on to a plain brim.
 Spring millinery is shown at this time for children, but the weather is far too unsettled for it to be advis. able, unless the hat is of silk and very nearly as warm as the winter one Many silk hats in the basket and bowl shapes liked for young fry are made of dark silk or satin, with wide band finished at the side with a square bow, Of a light embroidery

CONSTITUTIONS

Washington, April 17-Con tending that the constitutions of Arizona and New Mexico are in accordance with the constitu- ton of the United States, Sena- tor Cham herlain of Oregon. to day delivered an argument in the senate in support of the Brown resolution approving the two instruments.
 He sad these is no reason why members of the judiciary should not be subject to the will of the people as much as other officials, and that such law would have no tendency to deprive that branch of the government of it's independence.
 Mir. Chambe lain made special reference to the initiative, refer endum and the recall provisions in the Arizona constitution, urg ing that they did not depart from the constitutional guarantee of republican form ofgovernment He also pointed out that the constitution was similar to the systems of Oregon, Oklahoma, Montana and South Dakota.
 Mir. Chamberlain defended the provision for the recall of state officers, including judges, con tained in the Arizona constitu- ton. He said there is no reaso, why members of the judiciar should not be subject to the vii of the people as much as other officials, and that such a law would have no tendency to de prive that branch of the govern ment of it's independence.

Size Settles Question of Fare.

Curious" said an old railroad con ductor to New York Sun. man, how parents memories lapse sometimes about the age of their children. But up at Bronx Park, in running the electric launches that ply from the boathouse there on the Bronx river. they have a fare system that avoids all such mistakes and does away with any necessity of remembering on the part of parents whatever On these boats the fare for adults and children over four feet in height is ten cents. for children under four feet in height. five cents. There's a system that seems to be simplicity itself, don't you think? You never have to ask how old child is, you go by the child's height, regardless of age, and don't know but what that system might be applied to advantage on railroads. You could just have a four foot mark on the jamb of the door through which passengers passed, and just back the child up against that mark. It would take far less time than the talk now necessary in arguing about the child's age"

smaller pieces of wood are fastened across the upright sticks, about three inches from the base, with small, thin, sharp nails.
 After the woodwork has been com pleted, it is bound round and round with narrow ribbon until it is entirely covered, and loop is arranged at the top by which the stand may be lifted when necessary or hung up in the win dow. Smart little bows of ribbon should be tied on where indicated in the sketch.
 We next come to that part in which the fern pot is fitted, and this is made of piece of stout cardboard, cut out in the shape shown by the diagram B. and then covered on both sides with silk of color to match the rib bon. Care must be taken to make this portion exactly the correct size, and when completed 1t can be laid in posi- lion between the sticks and a few stitches through the edge of the silk and the ribbon covering the wood will secure it in it's place.

RAILROAD MEN HAVE HEART
At Cost of Extra Coal and Late Trains They Place Little Girl on

 "Ytf4re on the wrong train, my lit- tie gid,' said the conductor, as he looked at her ticket ''Is anybody with you?"
 No she said. 'T just got on with the rest of the people"
 But your ticket is for Spokane and this train is going to Seattle. The bridge is burned behind us and there is trouble in the mountains. There won't be another train for 24 hours"
 Well, I'm going to Spokane" she said with childish faith
 All right, little girl; we'll see what we can do"
 Then trainmen and dispatchers got busy The west-bound train was to wait on siding for the flying Spo- kane express to pass 1t. The Seattle train rushed to the siding. Miles flashed under the wheels. Then a fiagman was sent out to stop the Spokane flyer.
 The west-bound train skidded past the standing train. Then the conduc- tor picked up the little girl and hand ed her to brakeman on the Spokane train. with word of explanation.
 It made two trains late and cost something in extra coal
 Railroad men have hearts," the conductor explained. I've got a little gal at home myself just about the size of that youngster"

pipes are held with the stems pointing

pipes are held with the stems pointing downwards
 For the back, piece of thin wood should be cut eight inches wide and six inches in height, and for the ledge in front a second piece, an inch and half wide and eight inches long, will be required. These two pieces of wood may be fastened together with small screws, thin nails or glue, and the rack then neatly covered with art linen or art serge.
 The pipes are held in their places by little brass rings screwed into the up- per part of the rack and two more rings screwed into the upper edge serve to suspend it from nails in the wall. These little brass rings, fitted with screw on one side, may be ob- tained at any ironmongers at a very small cost, and are similar to those rings which are so often used for sus- pending small pictures from the wall.

FOREST SERVICE
 TO CONSERVE ELK

The forest service in nconnectlon with it's work of preserving and conserving the timber wealth of the country has turned it's atten tion to the p 'eservlng also of the Great American Elk. This noble animal was the pride of the early American forest and has been so much sought after of late that the species is in danger ofbecom- ing extinct.
 In order to prevent this the forest service has undertaken to treat the animal in the same manner as the buffalo are being treated and scientifically raise them. To this end, there fore, a carload, numbering some fifteen magnificent specimens of the antlered beast have been taken from the National Forest in Wyoming and shipped to the Wichita game preserve in Okla homa, where they will be locke l after and cared for be6tting a truly American animal.-Albu- querque Journal.
