THE HUGHES WHISPERS

1t gives my wearied heart wrench to see such whiskers on the bench. The highest court in all the land should the respect of all com mand, and nothing should disturb the awe with which we view that nome of law. But how can people, calling there, regard that wide ex- Panse of hair and think of anything but soap and razor strops and bar ber's dope? The lawyer, when he pleads a case, will see the greens on Hughes's face, and straightway all his thoughts will fly to where the fields Of spinach lie, A man can't think of law, alas, when facing such a stretch of grass The other judges, sitting near, with faces shaven, calm, severe, will find those whis- kers in the way about five hundred times a day. If it should chance that Justice B should turn to speak with Justice D, concerning matters most profound, he'll find that six or seven pound of weeping willows in- tervene, and hide the judge as with a screen. Will law be purified or cleared when filtered through that widespread beard? Will court deci- sions seem more fair delivered through a lot of hair? l cannot think it, and l hope that Justice Hughes will get some soap, a brush, some water and a saw, and whack those tassels from his jaw.-Walt Mason.

JUDGE 0VERFIELD SAYS
 DISCOVERY MUSTN'T

It looks from where we arc sitting at the present moment that there will be nothing stirring in the matter of liquor licenses at Discovery Otter this season, and maybe no other season. Judge Overfield has declined to listen to the siren voice of some of the applicants. and has sent down his ultimatum, in dicating that it would be just as we'll for the applicants to take up some other line of endeavor as he can do nothing for them.
 Hutchinson x Kinman received q negative reply to their application, and although there might have been a par ticular objection in the particular case, it is more probable that the court has adopted a general policy of no licenses for Discovery. It IS very likely that the objections sent to the court by some of the citizens of Discovery had much to do with this decision, although they are probably outside the two-mile limit from Flat, and cannot get a license until they get commissioner.

FASHIONS AND FANCIES..

In speaking Of the Empire modes it
must be remembered that the short.
wasted effects in vogue at the court
of the first Napoleon and which have
been adapted to the fashion exigencies
Of the present day are suitable only
for evening gowns and for such semi
dress models as are distinctly indoor
garments-whether for social func-
tions or otherwise.
The monstrous picture hat is rep
resented only by an occasional Wat
teau suggestion, but modified forms of
it will be in evidence, these not a
whit less picturesque than their dis
tinguished original. The head sizes
are still large, but raised a mere trifle
by bandeau, so that a bit of the
coiffure is visible and the brims are
more apt to be more or less rolled
back from the face.
