her, the name of a man of interna-

of whose name in a courtroom filled
the hearts of the innocent with hope
and the guilty with dread. That man
was Judge Brewster. She hurried
downtown to his Office and waited an

There were plenty of lawyers in New
York, he said. She must go else
where. Politely he bowed her out.
Half of a precious day was already
lost. Judge Brewster refused the
case. To whom could she turn now?
In despair, almost desperate, she
drove uptown to Riverside drive and
forced an entrance into the Jeffries
home. Here, again, she was met with
a rebuff Still not discouraged, she
returned to Judge Brewster's office.
He was out and she sat there an hour
waiting to see him. Night came and

the day was warm, the odor was sick

and humbly took her Place at the end
of the long line which slowly worked
its way 10 the narrow inner grating,
where credentials were closely scruti-

upon her. She wondered who all these
poor people were and what the pris-
oners whom they came to see had
done to offend the majesty of the law
The prison was filled with policemen
and keepers and running in and out
with messages and packages were a
number of men in neat linen suits
She asked a woman who they were.
"Them's. TRUSTEES prisoners that
has special privileges in return for
work they does about the prison."
The credentials were passed upon
slowly and Annie, being the twentieth
in line, found it a tedious wait. In
front of her was a bestial looking me-
gro, behind her woman whose cheap
jewelry, rouged face and extravagant
dress proclaimed her profession to be
the most ancient in the world. But

doorkeeper examined her ticket he

~ nee more the word bonnet" in
its limited, millinery sense, has a
place in the fashion reporters
vocabulary. Many of the shapes, which
we call hats, might as we'll be classed
under the other term. There are so
many shapes that really cover the
head and are almost entirely off the
face that the regulation poke bonnet,
the Corday cap and the "Wilhelmina"
cap do not seem extreme.
Germaine gave us the pretty model
made of narrow val lace which Is
shown here. The lace is shirred on
fine wires and the art of the milliner
is set forth here in a way to demand
our admiring attention. A little frill
of lace surrounds the face and peeps
from under the very broad band of
velvet ribbon which is laid about the
bonnet This band terminates in
long single end, which, when not
wound about the neck. will fall below
the knee The end falls from the left
side. The frame curves in to fit the
neck and fiat or "tailor's" bow of

Plant BREAKING Up an Island.

Strength is not thing Usually con.
nected with maidenhair fern, yet If
its roots have not sufficient room they
break the pot in which the plant
grows. Blades of grass will force
the curbstones between which they
spring up out of their place. and in a
single night a crop of small mush-
rooms have lifted a large stone. In
deed, plants have been known to
break the hardest rocks.
The island of Aldabra. to the north
west of Madagascar, is becoming
smaller and smaller through the &C
ton of the mangroves that grow along
the foot of the cliffs They eat their
way into the rock in all directions,
and into the gaps thus formed the
waves force their way. In time they
will probably reduce the island to

LACE WORN ON MILLINERY
Some of the Smartest Hats Have This
Garniture, and II Is Eff
fective.

This is an excellent season for
bringing out the family lace box and
going through it carefully to see what
treasure it really contains. There are
an infinite number of ways in which
bits of lace may be employed Not
the least of these is a garniture on
ones new millinery. Some of the very
smartest hats are to be trimmed with
lace or made entirely of it. White
lace is especially favored, and will be
seen on picturesque bonnets as we'll
as on smart walking toques. One of
the new designs is bonnet made of
white lace and trimmed with ruchings
of narrow black velvet. The only 9TH
er garniture is a posy of tiny pink
roses. A toque of black straw has
jabot of white lace going up the front
and over the crown something after
the manner of an ostrich plume.

complete without the little Marie
Louise roses and small foliage, that
add the required touch of color These
are in fine silk with a high luster.
They are in a peculiar pink, having a
blue-gray cast and shade into centers
with dark petunia red. Three single
roses and a cluster of two are set
about the bonnet on velvet band.
This model has the virtue of being
suited to evening wear at any season
Of the year and to the fashionable
promenade at summer or winter re-
sorts in the daytime. The design Is
not one of the sort to have a wide
vogue-it is not what is termed a
popular" style, but for that very rea-
son is never questionable. The lin
ing in such dainty hats is of maline,
chiffon or net. The long tie is the
finishing touch of great distinction
and is arranged to suit the fancy Of
the wearer Wound about the throat
it amounts to a real protection Worn
hanging when the weather is warm, 1t
is caught to the corsage or shoulder
with a fancy pin, or tiny bouquet of
roses like those used in trimming. The
design is not suited to all wearers
and one should be able ito carry it
off" as the saying Is.

A low doorway from Center street
gave access to the gray fortress. At
the heavy steel gate stood portly
policeman armed with big key. Each
time before letting people in or out
he inserted this key in a ponderous
lock- The gate would not open mere
ly by turning the handle. This was
to prevent the escape of prisoners,
who might possibly succeed in reach
ing so far as the door, but could not
open the steel gate without the big
key. When once any one entered the
prison he was not permitted to go out
again except on a signal from a
keeper
When Annie entered she found the
reception room filled with visitors,

to see some relative or friend in

sweat shop workers, sporty looking
men, negroes and lashy looking wo-
men. All seemed callous and indif-
ferent, as if quite at home amid the
sinister surroundings of prison. One
or two others appeared to belong to a
more respectable class, their sober
manner and careworn faces rejecting

1t was with a sinking heart and a
dull, gnawing sense of apprehension
that Annie descended from a south
bound Madison avenue car in Center
street and approached the small por-
tai under the forbidding gray walls.
She had visited prison once before,
when her father died. She remem-
bered the depressing ride in the train
to Sing Sing, the formidable steel
doors and ponderous bolts, the narrow
cells, each with its involuntary occu-
pant in degrading stripes and closely
cropped hair, and the uniformed
guards armed with rifles. She remem-
bered how her mother wept and how
she had wondered why they kept her
poor dada in such an ugly place. To
think that after all these years she
was again to go through a similar eX-
perience.
She had nerved herself for the or
deal. Anxious as she was to see How
ard and learn from his lips all that
had happened. she feared that she
would never be able to see him behind
the bars without breaking down. Yet
she must be strong so she could work
to set him free. So much had hap
pened in the last two days. 1t seemed
month since the police had sent for
her at midnight to hurry down to tie
Astruria, yet it was only two days
ago. The morning following her try
ing interview with Capt Clinton in
the dead mans apartment she had
tried to see Howard, but without sue
cess. The police held him close
prisoner, pretending that he might
make an attempt upon his life. There
was nothing for her to do but wait.
Intuitively she realized the neces-
sity of Immediately securing the SER

United States Senator William Ed
gar Borah of Idaho. is forty-six TODAY.
having been born June %, 1865. in

schools of that same county furnish
ed him his education and after he
finished there, he went to the South
ern Illinois academy, Enfield, H.. and
to the Kansas State University. Law
renee. Mr.. Borah was admitted to
practice law in 1880 at Lyons, Kans.
He worked hard and has made a brill
liant record for himself. Up until
Mr., Borahs election TO the senate in
1907, he had devoted his time exclu-
sively to the practice of law.
Mr.. Borah is one of the most prom
inent men in the upper house of con-
gresS today. He has been promi-
nently identified with the discussion
over the direct election of United
states senators, and has been the re-
cipient of some very severe criticism
for the stand he has taken on the
question. Then he has had a great
deal to say about the Canadian pac,
and the revision of the tariff. He is
progressive, but his arguments are

reason and founded upon the most
stubborn facts.
During the past two weeks a great
deal has been heard of the plan of
the republicans to put Mr.. Borah on
the national ticket next year, giving
him the place now occupied by Vice
President Sherman. Republicans do
not attempt to conceal the fact that
they no longer regard Mr. Sherman
as an avilable man for the republican
national ticket, especially in a year
when Mr.. Taft will find it perhaps, a
difficult matter to pull himself
through. Mr.. Borah is personally
popular throughout the west and in
some parts of the northwest and It
is stated that he will make far more
desirable vice presidential candidate
than would Vice President Sherman.
Mr.. Borah's term of service expires
in March, 1913, and IL he is not placed
on the second position on the nation
al ticket next year, he will run for
reelection.

AS TO REBATES. ETC.

The Pacific Power & Light COM
pany has always rebated the NUM-
cipal light bill when arc lights were
out and it has always given the city
greater service than the bills de-
manded," says the paper that licks
the toes of the electric company and
Of certain other corporations.
Fine, if only true But it is strange
indeed that rebates do not appear
upon the books of the city. The rec
ords show that during the past seven
months the city of Pendleton has
handed 1904 ever 80 days to the cleo
tric company for street lighting and
there is no record Of any rebating.
Yet arc lights have been out many
times during the past seven months.
Scarcely a night goes by without some
of the arcs being out of commission.
Following the anglers Banquet Mon
day night north side resident could
scarcely find his way along Jackson
street because every light on that
street was off. And there was NJ
liquor served at the anglers banquet
either.
Why is it if rebates are granted
those rebates do not lessen the city's
monthly bills? Why is it that coun-
cilmen who have pretty good mem
, ories cannot recall the time when any
such rebates were granted?
AS to the reasonableness of the
! charges Tor street lighting this paper
!. will pass no opinion at this time
That is a subject that is being investi.
, gated by the Commercial club ant
the investigation will be fair air i'm
partial.
1t may be mentioned however thai
, $500 per month means $4,000 pei
, year for street lighting and when t
, this sum is added a similar amount
gets for pumping city water it may
be seen that,the company draws dowr
about $1,000 per annum from the
city government alone. In other
words the city pays for electricity
each year sum that means five pei
cent interest on an investment Of
SI4O,OOO-a sum that would go fan
towards establishing a municipal ell.
ectric plant should the city care t.
go into the business itself.
