ORIENTAL EFFECTS IN COLOR

Like Effects Being introduced

The oriental effects in color and
fabric popularly known as "byzan-

Especially are they seen in quaint
tapestry-like fabrics which are being
introduced for evening wear. Although
the pattern OF these is large an~ aold.
the fabric itself is very supple, and
dresses made from It have the full

"But letter will best bring out nv

You've heard, of course, of Tenny-
sons poem, The Vision of Sim Well.
an eminent mathematician wrote to
Tennyson, on the appearance of his
poem, letter that ran like this:
Dear Sfr-I find in recent poem
OF yours entitled "The Vision of Sin."
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies a man, and every
moment one is born.'' I need hardly
point out that this calculation, II cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
of the worlds population in state of
perpetual equipotse, whereas, it is an
established fact that the said popula-
tion Is constantly on the increase.
would therefore suggest that In the
next edition of this poem the er-
roneous calculation to which refer
should be corrected as follows:
Every moment dies a man, and one
and sixteenth is born" may add
that the exact figures are 1.167. but
something must, of course, be con-

Sedjtjous TattooInu,


The case of a patriotic inhabitant
of Lorraine, one M. Schneider, who
was arrested at Metz during the re.
cent pro-French demonstration there,
is exercising the minds Of the German
authorities.
When M. Schneider undressed at
the police station in order to be meas.
ured for anthropometrical purposes.
says the Paris Matin, it was found
that his body was covered with
"seditous" tattooing. The expression
"Vive la F'rance!" was prominent, and
below it was q somewhat broad gibe
at the expense of Prussia.
The discovery was taken very seri.
ously by the German police. An Off.
cial translator was called In to draw
up a report on the tattooing, despite
M. Schneider's protest that he could
do what he liked with his own epider-
mis-. ...-
1t is further stated that the police
have also undertaken an inquiry aa
to whether the seditious phrases have
ever "been exhibited in public" Thus.
II M. Schneider can be proved to have
frequented the public baths, he will
be liable to six weeks Imprisonment.

However, the Indians were at last

the spot upon which the Indians built
the town. But the railroad made a
detour just great enough to put Lam

road and only three miles from the In

the matter before the voters at the

True to it's name, Winner won out by
small vote, and the very next day

sure to get that C. o. D. package to-

fore Friday morning. That is because
tomorrow is Thursday and most store
keepers feel rather dubious about de.
livering c. 0. D. packages to anybody
with down stairs name on Thursday
afternoon. The down stairs name is
pretty apt to belong to a down stairs
girl. It is her day of social activity,
and what her employer will do with
the c. o. D. bundle is problem. Some
receive it, others send it back to the
store for next days delivery, but even
those who pay the bill and take the
package in do it with poor grace and
afterward take out their revenge on
the store as well as on the girl. De-
livery wagons have had to make so
many extra trips on account of Thurs
day afternoon holidays that many
storekeepers now hold suspicious pack

Under the circumstances the Amer

the desire Of Mexican officials to re-

Any antipathy In this city toward

BIG BEARS EXPANDED SUPPER

pies and Then Visits the
Lake.

Residents of Butte, Mont, and VI
cinity, when desirous to hunt ducks
and geese, are wont to camp In the
Red Rock Lake district. Two men of
Butte, on such an expedition, were SO
tired on arriving at their destination
that they pitched their tents. piled
their provisions without even stopping
to put them under cover, and turned
IN for the night. One of the men,
Pitcher by name. slept alone in the
tent nearest the provisions.
A few hours later he was awakened
by sound near by, curious rasping
and grating sound. Pitcher raised his
head from the blankets and looked out
through the opening in the tent.
Clearly outlined against the low-hang-
ing moon he saw huge black bear
busily engaged in sampling the pro.
visions. AS the firearms were in the
other tent, there was nothing to do
but to wait for the bear to leave. In
deed, Pitcher was none too anxious to
attract bruins attention; and he lay
very still, holding his breath, till the
beast, with satisfied grunt, finally
ambled off in the direction of the lake.
Early the next morning-before
dawn. in fact-Pitcher took his gun
and started on the trail of the bear.
AS he neared the lake he saw just be-
fore him dark object which. in the
dim light, seemed to move. Cautious.
ly the hunter sank to his knees to
get better sight on the strange oh.
ject. A moan Of anguish was waited
to the ears of the man, and there fol.
lowed moment of painful suspense.
Then a ray Of light revealed an ami.
NAL lying upon it's back it's feet in the
air, wriggling like the feelers of bug

1t was the bear-the big, black bear
i'm great distress. It writhed in
agony when it caught sight of its pur-
suer, and it's struggles were pitiful to
behold. Pitcher dispatched the crea-
ture with bullet. The report awak-
ened his companion, and before the
smoke had cleared away he, too. was
on the scene.
Upon inspection of the provisions it
was found that they had been attack.
ed by the bear during the night; that
the big beast had eaten a ten-pound
package Of dried apples. It further
developed that the bear had gone to
the edge of the lake and drunk plenti-
fully of the waters thereof. How
much he drank was, Of course, never
known, but it was enough to agitate
the apples.

sunday begins with Saturdays night

IN these populated oases of the great

spirit Of its grandeur, solitude, isola-
ton and sadness.
AS the bells toll the people cross
themselves and hurry to the, great

Clouds Of incense arise and over It
all comes swelling, grand, impress
s1ve music. No instr lment made with
hands contributes to it; it wells from
the throats Of men; deeper, richer,
sweeter than heard in any other
cline. Is it their northland or pc
