So far as may be judged by the pub

was emInently sound and wise. IL
anybody should be arrested and placed

such a matter It is the young man

Providence has accorded the gift OF

Everybody may be pleased in the
new spring millinery. There are hats
large and hats small. but more espe-
cially hats small. There are hats soft
and collapsible, and there are pressed
shapes. There are hats OF braid on
wire frames and hats of braid on no
frames. There are hats grave and
hats gay. and there are hats expensive.
There may be hats inexpensive. but
they are hardly classed as millinery.
Here is a good place to observe and
point out that it Is only in the west
one may find genteel looking hats OF
good materials at moderate prices.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the grade of intelligence OF the mil
ainery worker of the west is apt to be
much higher than that OF the worker
on the Atlantic coast. Taste and IN
telligence show in the hat. The young

NEW STYLES IN Bl0USES
Care Should Be Used in Selecting Ma

Wardrobe.

The Introduction OF color on blouses
for everyday wear is attractive. The
use of anything but white has its disad-
vantage in that 1t compels the wearer
to cling to one color scheme through.
out the costume: and every woman
knows how annoying 1t is to find that
she only has blue blouse clean when
she is wearing brown suit.
The way to overcome this is to
choose ones blouses rather carefully
after one has made up a plan for the
summer wardrobe. II you make your
blouses now In haphazard fashion, you
may be compelled to get suits and
hats to go with them-which is put.
ting the cart before the horse.
Some women keep to one color
scheme as nearly as possible through
out the season; they know that blue
and green and black possibly. are
their chief colors, and they hold on to
these regardless OF what the dyers
and the manufacturers produce. This
is the secret OF really good dressing,
and you will find, upon observation.
that 1t is the method Of nearly all
the women who are conspicuous for
taste in clothes.
IL you know your own mind quite
thoroughly in regard to the colors
you will choose for your spring and
summer suits, then it is quite wise
to go ahead with your blouses; but
IL not, 1t is best TO confine ones self
to the choice or black, pfn-dotted,
with white. and dark bright blue,
which goes with such a quantity OF
other colors.
The big bands are in very good
style this year, and they are among
the chief colors introduced on white
materials. Golden browns, soft shades
of green. and many tones of blue are
used, as we'll as cerise. pomegranate
red. and any of the new wine tones.
Pink is to be in high fashion this
summer. in all shades but the paste,
ones Killarney pink, coral. flame
and watermelon are among the tones
we will see most used on white
sheer blouses of muslin, marquisctte
and batiste. Finely dotted swiss will
also come into favor as fabric for
blouses, and 1t will have many ad.

Silver and Gold Mats

Instead of buying a hair net which
will be invisible when worn over an
elaborate coiffure, the fashionable
woman now buys one of silver or gold
with which to keep in order her love

The chignon, the most popular of
new hair effects, is covered with this
linked and shimmering metallic net,
and when the hair is lustrous black
the effect of a gold net over the dark

New York.-There Is living In this
city today a man who has gone
through the whole thrilling horror
filed experience Of killing a man In
the clouds. Once he was the most
daring and even foolhardy aeronaut
and parachute jumper in the country.
Rarely was a day too windy or dis
trict too dangerous for him TO make
his ascension according TO contract
and on time. Now he Is as afraid as
death of a balloon, and Will scarcely
look at a flying machine in the air.
His nerves are completely gone and
he declares his nights are made
hideous by dreams OF something fali-
ing. falling and waving its hands.
1t was during fair week at Cohokia,
H., back in the COS that Robert F.
Scanlon, then known widely through
out the middle west, was scheduled
TO make an ascent. His balloon was
filed with gas and the order had
been given to "cut loose" when
drunken man rushed through the
crowd and grabbed Scanlon by the
neck as the trapeze was jerked from
the ground and mounting skyward.
The crowd stood too horrified to
move as the two struggling men kept
going up and up, loading balloon
that was 10 carry only $50 pounds
with double it's capacity. Let go or
you will be killed" cried Scanlon.

kicking as best he could. But the
man held on grimly without answer

A few hours later he became delirious

Dawn of the Morning of Death.
The morning of the final attack was
a warm. bright Sunday. Colonel Bowie
died about three o'clock. Death had
become so common that no one paid
any attention to the dying pioneer.
They were blackened with gunpow
der; they looked wild from lack OF
sleep and food; they seldom spoke
and all their words and acts were
those Of men terribly in earnest. The
sole idea of each was to sell his life
as dearly as possible. Santa Ana de-
termined to take the Alamo by as

non ladders were brought, the walls
Of the building were scaled by 1000
cavalrymen. while battering rams
beat in the doors. The Texans ran to
the roof, where several cannon had
been stationed. AS fast as the Mexi-
cans mounted they were stabbed and
the ladders overturned. Meanwhile
the Mexican rifiemen on the ground
shot down the Texans on the roof and
the battle ragged with the few Texans
who stayed on guard behind the bar
ricade.
After an hour the Mexicans had
overpowered the Texans and were
swarming TO the roof. The defenders
retreated down the stairs, fighting ev-
cry inch Of the way. Then the doors
below were beaten down with huge
timbers and with yell the frenzied
soldiers poured in the opening. The
little band of Texans was pitifully in
significant against the horde of Mexi-
cans. There were yells and gunshots
and groans in one long, hideous cho-
rus. Not one Of the Texans sank to
| death till he had exhausted all his
strength. Colonel Crockett stood In
the corner OF the main room and with
cutlass slashed all who attacked
him. His shirt was soaked with
blood and bullet had pierced his
cheek. Shot by a man in front of
him, he lunged forward, selling his
life as dearly as possible. Colonel
Travis was shot through the head
while defending the stairs.
No one was spared, and every ono
