 The labor situation in Berande was improving. The Martha had carried away fifty of the blacks whose time was up. and they had been among the recruited by Johnny Be-blowed, men who had gone through the old days of terrorism when the original owners of Berande had been driven away. The new recruits, being broken in under the new regime. gave better promise. Joan had joined with Sheldon from the start in the program that they must be gripped with a strong hand.

BLUE AND BROWN ARE SMART
These Are the Years Popular Colors, the Latter Especially in It's
 Darker Shades.

Certain colors never go out of fash ion and others are doomed to a short life by the very quality that makes them popular. Navy blue is one of the colors whose popularity never seems to fuctuate from season to season probably because it is so universally becoming. The browns are more vari able, but this year they are consid cred extremely smart, especially in their darker shades-Kaffir, nutmeg, seal and walnut.
 IF fact, all the new colors are per ceptibly darker. Black is the smart est color of the season, but it's effect Is far from being sober or somber because it is always relieved by white or by some vivid color. It has had it's effect on other colors; the smart blces are almost black, the new greens are the deep shades of tea-leaf and win tergreen; and prune Is the most popu- lar shade of purple. Black used to be kept almost entirely for older women, but dressmakers are beginning to ap- preciate the fact that 1t is not becom- ing unless woman has youth, healtL and good color. Even then it has to be broken with blue, green, gold, etc. to give it the life it needs.-Delin- eator.

HE SAW THE JOKE AT LAST
Stranger in Boston Who Had Read About Its Streets, Could Not
 Stop Laughing.

He was middle-aged man, and h. stood, with umbrella tucked under his arm. in front of the old South church in Boston. chuckling away as if he had just thought of something particu- larly humorous.
 What are you cachinnating about, my friend?" asked one of Boston's finest
 -'Hey?" demanded the man with the umbrella, blankly.
 q inquired the cause of your un- seemly cachinnation," repeated the policeman.
 "Oh. I forgot this was Boston I reckon you mean laughing, don't you? Will, I'm cackling over a lot of funny pieces I read years ago in the comic papers about Boston's crooked streets. had never been in Boston then, and didn't know they were funny-the pieces, mean. I struck Boston this morning for the first time. and as meandered around in the rain trying to find my way somewhere, those old stories I read years ago came back to me, with the joke side uppermost, and every time I strike place where the streets seem little more tangled up and twisted around than usual l have to stop and ha-ha right out in spite of myself.
 Why. declare, actually can't tell half of the time which side of the street I'm on, just as it said in the newspaper yarns I used to bread, and yet I never had any idea those stories were intended to be funny until got here and began to corkscrew around the Hub on my own account Oh, I'm slow, all right, but can see the joke when I have a diagram of it right in front of me-"
 And as the policeman moved on the middle-aged stranger with the um- brella was still standing there. chuck ling softly to himself.-New York Times.

TO TAKE GIRLS TO THEATER
Washington Managers to Provide Car. ry-aIls for Young Women Who
 Have No Escorts.

Washington.-Wa Washington theatef managers are going to fix it so that young women can go to the theaters without escorts. It is not certain, yet, how the girls are going to like 1t, but the escorts think it is the greatest iden that was ever conceived.
 The managers have made up their minds that they are losing a lot of money because custom decrees that a young woman shall not go to the play unattended and also because the young men do not buy tickets for two as often as the managers would like. Therefore, they are going to call around and haul the women and girls to the show, and the men can stand on the curb and see them go by
 The plan is to provide big carry all and send it for all girls and women who pay $2 or more for a seat and 25 cents extra for the ride.
 Box office statistics show that three and a half women attend the theater to one man. The women gain their advantage by attending the bargain matinees. The Washington managers think they would come at night and pay the higher prices if arrangements were made for escorting them It is to have chaperon on each of the carry-alls. If it works well in Washington 1t Is probable that the plan will be taken up by managers in other cities.

PAYING FOR ANCIENT CRIME
Blood Tax Still Exacted From Bearn Shepherds for Murder of 700
 Years Ago.

Seven hundred years ago some shepherds of the valley of Roncal, in Navarro. were murdered by shepherds of the valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the crime taking place on the high pasture lands of Arlas, in the Py- renees. It would have been difficult to bring the murderers individually to justice. and the Spaniards were pre- pairing to make war upon the valley from which the French murderers had come. when the French villages proposed that peace be maintained at the price of yearly tax or tribute, to endure for au time. and this propo- sition was accepted.
 The payment of this blood tax originally three white mares. but later three cows of particular breed and color-has been made ever since, the custom Git is nothing morel having survived eFen the great Wats ih which both France and Spain have engaged, and the storm of the French revolu- ton.
 Yearly the representative men of the two valleys meet on the frontier. at a. certain, stone. remote from. any town, and go through the ceremony of presenting and receiving the cattle The order of procedure, which Is elab- crate and impressive. is fixed by a document bearing the date 1875. though the tax was paid hundred years prior to that time. The records of each yearly meeting and payment are duly attested and deposited in the archives of Roncalais.

CHILD IS A WONDER
TWELvE-YEAR-oLD GIRL WHO Ex-
 HiBITs STRANGE POWER.
Can Copy an Unopened Letter She Has Never Read or Even Seen Be- fore-PeopIe MystIfied at Her
 Peculiar Gift.

Dawson, Ga.-What is the strange bower possessed by little Laura hveritte? That is the question which many mystified people are asking and have been unable to answer. The nhild herself does not attempt to offer nn explanation. This power, or oc- cult force, or whatever 1t may be, en- hbles her to write word for word the contents of an unopened letter and uu- known to any of the people present huring the remarkable feat of divina- Aon.
 Laura is the twelve-year-old 6augh- fer of J. D. AVeritte, a well-known farmer living two miles north of Daw- son. To all appearances she is just D normal, fun-loving. romping child There is nothing to differentiate her krom her playmates. And yet there is the marvellous faculty with which she ls endowed which makes her case one perhaps unparalleled.
 The first demonstration of little H4aura's peculiar power took place Several weeks ago. A member of her temily had received a letter, and brought it unopened into the house. y9 know what is in that letter. Laura asserted. The relative smiled at the childish boast. I'll show you" she Insisted. And in a spirit of fun she was given paper and pencil at her re- quest, the unopened letter was placed nearby and she prepared to con- Vince the members of her family. Slowly the pencil moved over the hheets of paper, word followed word hnd sentence followed sentence, and hnalIy little Laura said simply: eThere it is.''
 And there it was. The envelope was opened. Smiles turned to expres- Hons of wonderment, and wonder Inent almost changed to awe when it 5Eas found that the letter had been set flown word for word by the child. : Seeking an explanation from the Birl those surrounding her met only TT don't know" from her. {, Other letters came to the Averitte household Further tests of LAura's peculiar powers were made, and in every instance 1t was found that she had written the contents of the un opened letter practically without CT TOT.
 How is the remarkable feat ac- complished? What Is the hidden force pr unfathomed faculty that enables the child to pierce the eonceahng en- Felope and mentally draw from the written pages one by one the letters Mordss These question remain unan- tn nnrnr
