Here is an example of English red tape. The case of George Archer-Shee, who was accused of the theft of postal order from a fellow cadet and removed from the naval college is to be brought before the house. After much legal procedure the action of the admirality was taken before the courts last year, and the gov ernment withdrew from the case, clearing Shee's character. Since then no commu- nication has been received by his relatives from the admirality, no expression Of regret has been sent, and no offer made to reinstate him, nor have the costs of the legal proceedings-s15,00 as yet been paid.

ENGLAND HAS MANY ANARCHISTS Thrilling Colony of Outlaws
 In London LABORITES PROTEST At Increasing Burden of Armaments at Leicester-Duke of Connaught To Be the Next Cover
 nor of Canada

London, February 25.-(Special)- England is about to pay the penalty for turning the country into a rendezv- ous for anarchists and other men who have their hands raised against every body except themselves.
 Now there is quite colony of for eign anarchists In the quarters bound ed by Bishopgate, Whitechapel and Commercial roads, and it is their object to commit burglarles, attack In the streets. and even kill to support them selves, send money to their accomplices elsewhere and for the manufacture of deadly explosives for further destrus- ton. Statistics show that in 1909 2264 Russian Jews settled here and they all belonged to bands of outlaws who had fled their country and were ready not only to attack the English, but to teach the natives how to make war upon law abiding citizens
 It is strange what number of for eign anarchists practice in this city the trade of tailoring, and while they ply the needle their hatred toward peaceful men seem 10 be augmented. The sweat shop system makes rebels of them There are tailors of all nationalities here, but the Germans, Norwegians and Swedes are law abiding and join the trade unions, while Slavs prefer to re- main outside the organizations and flock by themselves. Since the affair of Sid ney street the English people think 1t IS time to do as the Parisians, that is, to have special detectives belonging to the country whence the outlaws come. Paris has two departments of foreign police, one paid by Russia, and the other by France.

S}enmother of Mint Juiep,

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory OF the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
it's fine horses. beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home of the mint julep, and it's
colonies have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly, to over
come the necessity for a large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned
1t transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right, here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1868
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320
juleps. This amount includes the mar
.keted product only, no account hav-
ing been taken of the countless thou
sands of juleps which were compound
ed during the year with base of the
undiluted moonshine whisky that
never paid a cent of tax-St Louis

VERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
Skeptic Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
Is imbued with true Christian faith
ind proper sense Of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work of the
Saviour and other events that enter
into the structure Of our religious
faith and the descriptions and ac-
counts of them, as furnished us in
the pages of the Holy Scriptures.
They agree with them in every re-
spect and it is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, SO exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very articles
Of diet and clothing of ancient days
are plainly recognizable in the doings
and surroundings of today. Indeed,
where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and Gus
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth of the Saviour. Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities, climatic and geographical
conditions, distances, ETC., of these
times and those of today there is
hardly any discrepancy. even a
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
WINGED of it's yeracity; to the believer
1t comes as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory confederation or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago.-Columbian

Your Umbrella,

A badly rolled-up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
so long as it ought to. The process
Of rolling an umbrella up neatly is
very simple.
The majority hold it by the handle
and keep twisting the stick with one
hand while with the other they twist
and roll the silk. Instead of this, they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points, naturally, lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold of
and pressed tightly against the stick,
and then the cover should be rolled
up. Holding the ribs thus prevents
them from getting twisted out Of
place or bending out of shape, and the
silk is bound to follow evenly AND
roll smooth and tight. If an umbrella
Is rolled in this same fashion until it
is old enough to look rusty. it vii!
look as if newly bought.

FALSE COLLAR NEW THING
of Stitching or More Usually
of Braiding.

Many of the new tailored suits for
autumn show, below the sailor collar,
which is SO popular, false collar of
stitching, or more usually of braiding.
The typical coat of this sort was
seen recently, loose hip-lengtn
jacket, with V-shaped vest, sailor col
lar finished by a silk tie and a row Of
narrow self-colored braiding. about
five inches below, following the collar
in outline. The cuffs were finished in
the same way.
The great number of ruffles which
have appeared as notifications of the
tunic effect seems to have suggested
this style, which gives becoming ef-
feet of height to young girls and short
women. Soutache or very narrow fiat
braid is used. Sometimes it reappears
on the tunic or simply in banding ef-
feet on the skirt below the knees.
1t is a good way to make last au-
tumn's suit seem modish again. and
to conceal any necessary frightening
for the growing girl.

TWO Made.Overs,

Did you know that you could make
over your old tailored shirtwaists for
house wear in the morning? Cut out
the neck at the collarband and the
sleeves at the cuffs. Supply instead
plain percale low collars and turn
back cuffs of some contrasting color.
Cut off also the skirt sections, which
are usually torn by pinning, and sup
ply belt Of the percale. This belt
will fasten over the skirt; thus, all
you will need to complete your toilet
when dressing hurriedly in the, morn
ing will be a pin to hold your collar
closed.
Another made-over is the apron
which was originally lingerie blouse
Use the front, cutting bib of one
sleeve and tie-ends of the other. The
back will make the belt and face the
lower edge. With little ribbon-run
beading and a lace ruff1e, here is an
apron you will not be ashamed to
pour tea or do embroidery in.

NEWEST FANCY IN HATPINS
Most Fragile of These Novelties Arc
In Shape of Rosettes of White
Net.

Fabric heads are the newest fancy
In hatpins. The most fragile OF these
novelties are in the shape OF resettes

white net, and the most substantial

the shamrock or the full blown rose.
Also of flower form are the hatpin tops
Of celluloid tinted in imitation of what
ever exotic is represented, and there
are some choice and expensive speci-
mems of coral carved in dahlia and
rose shape. Carved ivory pin tops rep
resent all manner of odd shapes, as
we'll as fat disks, balls and pears, and
in the prism cut crystals of various
shades are the well known spikes,
acrons and cubes.
