"A girl who has just returned from New York was telling me the other day." said 2 Nancy to Billy Bunting about dandy new play she saw. l believe it's called The Girl Of My Dreems Anyway. she said there was line in it that enlisted the sympathy of the entire audience It Is given to the little milliner in the play to say g s4-l.
 'sT don't mind missing the dinner so much, but I do hate for my dress not to get to go.'
 Isn't there a lot of human nature in that?" ss.t-5
 Billy Bunting was silent.

Billy Bunting listened intently.
 T remember a green ginsham dress, too, that l had when was ikid,n con tinued Nancy. "I simply hated it. I was 10 years old, and slim as a bean pole Indeed, all the charitable little frills and tucks that were in the sartorial book, tc fill me cut and cover up my dehcien cies Instead, this green checked gingham was made a la princess. You couldn't tell whether l was going to school or coming from. I was as straight as an arrow, and the uglest thing that you ever beheld. l looked like a nice, long, slim cucumber. You know what I did? I deliberately burned hole in that dress so l wouldn't have to wear it again, but I reckoned without my host. My mother was noted for her wonderful clev- erness in patch work, so what should she dc but put a nice little heart shaped patch right over the spot which happened to be on the left side, directly over that part of my anatomy. She briar stitched the heart shaped patch on, and I started cut with that device before the world It was before the days of the fencing girl with the heart over her heart, and so there was nothing to do but ac- knowledge that 1t was simon pure patch and nothing mdre. Oh. the agony I suf fered in that green gingham, I shall never forget it..
 "No manner of dress that could be eoncocted for little girls said Billy Bunting feelingly, ''could half way ap proach the misguided things that mothers do to little boys. Remember when the Little Lord Fauntleroy craze was abroad in the land? Long curls and velvet suits and face collars and cuffs? Poor little suffering heros l was one of them. If . fellow lived 100 years he couldn't get over that episode in his life and when he gets old enough to realize it all he sud- Genly sees that the woman of his family .,rc the ones who have made molly oodde of him. That's the reason that man is a tyrant, and he is going to keep his iron foot or. woman's lily white neck az long as he can. He never forgets that it's woman who dressed him up ab- sGrdly. and put violet perfume on his chin, and made him look ridiculous"
 You may contribute two whole chap ters, said Nancy, 'to my book. You rlay even write the preface to Clothes l Have Suffered h.. Should you like that?.'
 Two chapters The prefaceu Billy Bunting roarcd. '.lt would take all tho Encyclopedia Britannica-al it's vol tmes-for me to write what l think about Clothes | Have Suffered In ."

Coffin and Casket Factory. The wheels
began to turn two years ago, and the
business this year will double the first.
Many people will be surprised to know
that this pioneer factory has grown

DGE
(By Associated Press

Washington. July 29.-The verbal
reports that the Ambassador to Mex
leo. Henry Lane Wilson, has made
to the President and Secretary Knox
regarding conditions in Mexico are
on the whole said TO be very encour-
aging. The ambassador found that q
umbe of poems entertained exag-
gerated ideas to the personal benefits
they would realize from the revOlu-
ton. 1t had been somewhat difficult
for the provisionfI government TO
reconcile them to the fact that there
cannot be a wholesale representation
of private Iands and a division on
agrarian principles among the popu-
lace.
With an assurance hat ~non-taxabie
private estates of vast size hereafter
are to pear their share of the burden
of the maintenance of the government,
it is believed hat much OF the clam
or will be satisfied.
The crying need of the Mexicans
is a larger measure Of public aduca-
ton. Mr.. Wilson believes. 1t is un-
derstood to be fhe policy OF Francisco
+ Madero. Jr., should he be elected
President to urge upon the Mexican

Of the present limited system OF state

under the act of congress Of June IT,
1902, are to be thrown open to set
tlement August 25th. They will be

September 9th.
The land in question is released
upon application of Secretary Of the
Interior Walter L. Fisher for restor-
alton, made on June 29th, and re-
ferred to the general land board.
The reason given for the opening Of

its elevation is too high to be
reached by the government irriga-
tion canals, being even above the
Modoc Canal survey, which is the
highest situated canal included in
the project
The total amount of land to be
thrown open at this time aggregates
title over 1000 acres. Of this
amount 1000 acres skirt the west
side of Lower klamath Lake, extend.
ing from Teeters landing nearly tC

state boundary line.
The remainder of the land
amounting to over 1000 acres, is sit.
uate in the Sand Hollow district. II
