in Texas that was not legitimate in all
its phases and calculated to stimulate

There was time, just as such per

him. In a very short time. however,

for improvement. as is said in baseball
circles, solved his delivery" and the
word went out to furnish no money
for any alleged promotion except those
that were really meritorious. This

new HAREM SKIRT
Startles Voyagers on Attain

New York. March "A harem skirt
like unto no other harem skirt that the
heralds OF fashion has thus far pro-
claimed and which is soon to cause
a great stir and flutted in the city of
Mexico hmade its initial appearance
on the steamship Prinz Friedrich VIII
helm of the North German Lloyd line,
which has arrived. The passengers
aboard the liner have been greatly
aumsed by this newest of suffragette
petticoats and they could talk of little
else when the ship locked.
Mrs. Alfred Marchal. wife of a Mex
lean millionaire mine owner, wore this
latest creation, and when she made

When the Skirt is Not Skirt.
A stiff westerly breeze was blowing
when Mrs. Marchal made her first APP
pearance on deck in the new skirt.
and at the very first swish of the wind
the steamers of the skirt parted and
flew out in random pennants. Two
of the ships officers almost fell off

Mrs. Marchal ignored the battery of
looks and stares and swiftly found
shelter from the wind. In the lee OF
the deckhouse the skirt was again a
skirt, but when Mrs. Marchal entered
the smoking room, sat down and cross
ed her knees, the skirt was again not
skirt. Play at the card tables was
demoralized.
The passengers say they are now
shock-proof against the ordinary var

were lighted and the farmers armed
with shotguns mad rifles. were prepar-
ed to kill the bandits if they attempted
to escape through the Gordon which
surrounds them.
The immense posse was headed by
Sheriff Beid of Lee county. The safe
blowers took refuge in tract which
is partly a swamp. Nearly every able
bodied citizen of Dixon joined in the
attack on the robbers refuge.
The besiegers shot at random. not
being able to detect their quarry in
the darkness.
The robbers were found in a barn
where they hid shortly after they fled
from Walnut. When discovered there
was running revolver fight with an
officer and farmers be had impressed.
The four men escaped temporarily.
