dozen little girls at dinner yesterday
afternoon in honor of her daughters
Gladys and Ernestine.
The party was distinctly Japanese
and the guests came in costume with
gay-hued kimonos and hair tucked up
in true Oriental style.
Mrs. Guillot and Miss Ruth Paul
Bogie, who assisted her. welcomed
the little girls and We're costumed in

When the guests were invited to the
dining room quite a delightful sur
prise was the beautiful table laid for
the dinner.
Japanese lanterns We're in the din
ing room, which simulated tea room
and a lovely bowl of roses was used
as a centerpiece for the table.
4 dainty service of Japanese china
was used in serving the dinner and
Japanese place cards marked each

But the menu was the best of all.

prominent and was investigated with
much satisfaction by the little girls.

AGED CONVICT WON'T
LEAVE PRISON
MURDERER SAYS HE HAS NO
FRlENCS OUTSIDE AND THAT
PRISON is HIS ONLY HOME.

Jefferson City, Mo, Aug. Par.
don Attorney G. A. Denton has dis
covered one convict in the state pen
itentiary who will not accept a
parole and freedom. Simon Begley is
the man. In point of years he is
the oldest convict in the peniten-
tary and he is the second oldest
convict in point of service at the
prison. He came here in October,
1892. under a sentence of 90 years
for murder committed in Cedar
county. His exact age is not known,
but he must have passed the sew
en;ieth milestone several years ago,
Judging from his general appear
ance
Begley's conduct at the prison has
been excellent at all tines, and
under all circumstances.
As quick as the old man learned
that he was likely to he given his
liberty he declined to talk with the
pardon attorney and asked to be
allowed to leave the office of dep
uty warden and return to the odd
jobs he performs about the prison.
Judge Denton asked him if he did
not desire his liberty, and Begley
said he did not. He then went on
to say that all the friends he has on
earth are either convicts or officers
of the prison and that he has no
other home than the penitentiary,
and he desires above all else to
end his DAYS there.
It is said that Begley is the only
man in the penitentiary who has no
desire to have his liberty restored.
John D. Shea, counting the years
of Imprisonment. is the oldest man
in the penitentiary. July 9, 1889, he
was brought to the penitentiary from
St. Louis on a life sentence for muir
der. That was more than - years
ago The records of the prison do
not show that anyone ever served
a longer sentence than Shea has
already completed, and the end is
not vet.
The average convict will rarely
outlive fifteen years of confinement
in the penitentiary. Shea has been
in the penitentidry so long that no
one now connected in an official ca
pacity with the prison can recall
the circumstances connected with
the crime ne committed.

Mrs. .. VI. Redfield entertained
quite a large number of children last
night at the Rediield home on y
street. southwest, in honor of Misses
Florence and Margaret Redfield and
Master Jack Redfield. On arriving
the children discovered they were to
take a railway journey. An improv-
ised coach had been arranged on the

were in readiness for the Journey The
children We're given fictitious names

stcrs found themselves weighted with
the responsibility OF chaperoning two
or three children. The spirit of the
game was heartily enjoyed and after
the families had been arranged their
chaperones bought tickets from the
afrable and oblising ticket agent,
James Thompson, who would route
them over this line TO any city or
town their fancy dictated. Raymond
Garrett was conductor and John
Thompson, brakeman. Louis Collins
was porter and received all the tips
and used his whisk broom with i'm
partiality. often assisting the chaper-
ones when their families became nm
manageable. Everett Kruger was the
butcher boy and served ice cream
cones, candies and soda pop The
journey was very merry one and
ended without any accidents. although
several attempts TO jump out the
car windows were made by the chill
dren.

RAILROADS WIN
TAX SUIT 1903
DECISION FOR KATY AND SANTA
FE ENDERED-STATE LEVY
FOR 1e MONTHS.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Aug. =
Federal Judge Cotteral, sitting at
Enid, held the tax levy made by
tine state board of equalization for
the year ending June 80, 1909. as
contested by the Santa 'e and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
companies, was invalid. In the ag-
gregate the tax amounts to about
S6O, 200. Trouble arose over the State
boards attempt to cover levy taxed
for nineteen and a half months, or
from the date of statehood TO the
end Of the fiscal year in 1909. where
as the law authorized action covering
a period to June 3O 1908.
No final order was entered and
the court intimated that at least a
portion of the taxes for the period
ending in 1908 were valid. Attorneys
for the Santa Fe announced that
road would tender S3 per cent OF
the total amount, irrespective OF
the courts holding, since it has been
shown the state board for the time
referred to had assessed the prop
erty of railroads at what the latter
regarded its approximate value, but
had voluntarily reduced all Other
property Il per cent
The ruling of Judge Cotteral will
affect only those railway companies
that refused TO pay the tax, includ-
ing the Santa Fe, Katy and TT.
Smith and Western The citizens of
the state have paid their taxes for
that year and therefore have no
remedy. Judge Cotteral further holds
that the state authorities must seq
regate the state taxes. due from the
plaintiff companies for the first nine

IRON PRICES
 STRIKE BOTTOM Pig Iron District Melters Apparently Dull, Accord
 ing To Reports

Cleveland, O., October 11.-(SpeciaD.- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Recent declines in prices of finished fha- terials have apparently convinced some consumers that quotations have struck the bottom. In the recent west numerous offers to contract for future requirements have been made In eastern district, however, a more conservative feeling pre- vals and buying is larsely for smme- diate needs.
 In some districts melters of pig iron are showing a little more interest, but the market in most parts of the country con tinues extremely dull. The Pennsylvania railway has purchased 10000 additional tons.
 A leading cast iron pipe company Is considering the purchase of large ton- mage. Car builders and plate manufao- turers are figuring on from 15,000 to 20,ooo cars, but orders are not coming in rap- idly. Ship builders along the Atlantic colst are greatly encouraged by the pros poets for the building of large number of vessels during the winter. There is now penulnB 1fOH1 z0,VU to oViVW tois pL shapes and plates to be placed with mills for boats under contract.

Seattle, 40o0 tons, and the Leader building in Cleve- land. Tn the east shipyards are figuring on fully 2O,000 tons.
 The Texas company will buy 150 miles of inch line pipe. Buying by pipe foun- drys has been the feature of the pig iron market. The largest company and an eastern company have taken together about 50,0O0 tons of northern and south ern irons. The foundry ircn market has broadened but little.

Feet and the Nerves

From Tit-Bits.
 Nervous troubles frequently come from i'll fitting and badly made shoes in the opinion of pr. Irwin O. Allen. He thinks them accountable for much matrimonial haggling and discord.
 It Is & mistake. he says, to teach the child-as is commonly done-to toe out. In the beginning the boy or girl, in obedience to an unerring instinct, points the foot straight. ahead, which Is the proper way for walking. All shoeless peoples walk with parallel feet-ln- dians for example.
 pr. Allen explains that the sole Of the shoe should be the shape of the foot. To determine this shape, one should stand barefoot on the ball and toes upon sheet of paper, allowing the great toe to assume its normal position separated somewhat from the other toes Make a mark around the toes with pencil and then let the heel come down to the paper. Now place the weight of the body upon the outer side of the foot and complete the out line in that position.
 A shoe made with a sole of this shape, and with a reasonably high yamp, will certainly be comfortable and will insure healthy foot, incidentally doing away with "shoe nervousness" If worn in winter. however, 1t should have no metal nails in it. The feet are not easily kept warm during cold weather in shoes with metal nails, be- cause they tend to conduct the heat of of the body.
